-ii- PROSPECTUS SUMMARY This following summary highlights selected information from this prospectus and may not contain all of the information important to you. To understand our business and this offering fully, you should read the entire prospectus carefully, including the financial statements and the related notes beginning on page F-1. When we refer in this prospectus to our "company," "we," "us," and "our," we mean iSECUREtrac Corp., a Delaware corporation, together with our subsidiaries, ABS Nebraska, Inc. and iST Services, Inc. This prospectus contains forward looking statements and information relating to iSECUREtrac Corp. See cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements on page 9. OUR COMPANY We are iSECUREtrac Corp., a Delaware corporation. Our principal executive offices are located at 5022 South 114th Street, Suite 103, Omaha, Nebraska 68137. Our telephone number is 402-537-0022. The address of our website is www.isecuretrac.com. Information on our website is not part of this prospectus. We are in the business of developing and selling and or leasing global positioning system ("GPS") based tracking solutions for the criminal justice industry since 1997. Our company, then named Sage Analytics International, Inc., merged with a Nebraska corporation, Advanced Business Sciences, Inc., which had been founded in 1994 specifically to commercialize a patent application for the continuous electronic monitoring and tracking of individuals. Prior to that time, we were engaged in developing and licensing decision support software. Our tracking device, known as a Personal Tracking Unit ("PTU") is capable of constantly obtaining a geographical location fix (i.e. a point of latitude and longitude in degrees, minutes and fractions of minutes within 10 meters of the actual physical location of the PTU) and transmitting this data to our computers via a communications network. Named tracNET24(TM), our software system allows the end-user to continuously track and monitor an individual wearing a PTU, via a secure web hosted application. We changed our name to iSECUREtrac Corp. in June of 2001. The name change was done to better reflect our current and future business activities of providing advanced tracking solutions for the monitoring of individuals and assets via a secure web hosted application. THE OFFERING This prospectus relates to the sale of up to 17,214,966 shares of our common stock by Fusion Capital. On March 7, 2003 we entered into a common stock purchase agreement with Fusion Capital as amended and restated on April 14, 2003, pursuant to which Fusion Capital has agreed to purchase, on each trading day, $15,000 of our common stock up to an aggregate, under certain conditions, of $12,000,000. The number of shares ultimately offered for sale by Fusion Capital is dependent upon the number of shares purchased by Fusion Capital under the common stock purchase agreement. This prospectus also relates to the sale of up to 300,000 shares by an individual selling stockholder not related to Fusion Capital. The number of shares offered by this prospectus represents 31.47% of the total common stock outstanding as of March 31, 2003, along with those shares not yet issued associated with this prospectus. As of March 31, 2003, there were 38,143,097 shares outstanding, including the 1,138,733 shares that we have issued to Fusion Capital as compensation for its purchase commitment and including the 300,000 shares offered by the other selling stockholder, but excluding the 16,076,233 other shares offered by Fusion Capital pursuant to this prospectus which may be issued to Fusion Capital in the future. The 300,000 shares in connection with this prospectus were issued on March 28, 2003. 1 USE OF PROCEEDS This prospectus relates to shares of our common stock that may be offered and sold from time to time by selling stockholders. We will receive no proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock in this offering. However, we may receive up to $12.0 million in proceeds from the sale of our common stock to Fusion Capital under the common stock purchase agreement. Any proceeds from Fusion Capital we receive under the common stock purchase agreement will be used for working capital, general corporate purposes and potential acquisitions. SUMMARY FINANCIAL DATA The following financial information summarizes the more complete historical financial information at the end of this prospectus. Our independent public auditors, McGladrey & Pullen, LLP, have audited the fiscal periods of 2002 and 2001, and which reports expresses an unqualified opinion and included an explanatory paragraph referring to our ability to continue as a going concern. You should read the information below along with all other financial information and analysis of this prospectus. Please do not assume that the results below indicate results we'll achieve in the future.

3 RISK FACTORS You should carefully consider the risks described below before purchasing our common stock. Our most significant risks and uncertainties are described below; however, they are not the only risks we face. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, or results or operations could be materially adversely affected, the trading of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment therein. You should acquire shares of our common stock only if you can afford to lose your entire investment. RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH OUR FINANCIAL POSITION WE HAVE A LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY WITH SIGNIFICANT LOSSES AND EXPECT LOSSES TO CONTINUE FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE. We have yet to establish any history of profitable operations. We have incurred annual operating losses of $(5,793,620) and $(6,184,811), respectively, during the past two fiscal years of operation. As a result, at December 31, 2002 we had an accumulated deficit of $(32,710,801). Our revenues have not been sufficient to sustain our operations. We expect that our revenues will not be sufficient to sustain our operations for the foreseeable future. Our profitability will require the successful commercialization of our Series 2100 tracking product and out tracNET24 information system. No assurances can be given when this will occur or that we will ever be profitable. Our independent auditors have added an explanatory paragraph to their audit opinion issued in connection with the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2002 relative to our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to obtain additional funding and/or increase our revenue will determine our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. WE WILL REQUIRE ADDITIONAL FINANCING TO SUSTAIN OUR OPERATIONS AND WITHOUT IT WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO CONTINUE OPERATIONS. At December 31, 2002, we had a working capital deficit of ($3,446,504). We had an operating cash flow deficit of ($952,638) for the three months ending March 31, 2002, an operating cash flow deficit of ($2,010,086) for the six months ending June 30, 2002, an operating cash flow deficit of ($2,776,158) for the nine months ending September 30, 2002, and for the year ended December 31, 2002, an operating cash flow deficit of ($3,481,345). We do not currently have sufficient financial resources to fund our operations or those of our subsidiaries. Therefore, we need additional funds to continue these operations. We only have the right to receive $15,000 per trading day under the agreement with Fusion Capital unless our stock price equals or exceeds $1.00, in which case the daily amount may be increased under certain conditions as the price of our common stock increases. Fusion Capital shall not have the right nor the obligation to purchase any shares of our common stock on any trading days that the market price of our common stock is less than $0.10. Since we have initially registered 15,000,000 shares for sale by Fusion Capital pursuant to this Prospectus, the selling price of our common stock to Fusion Capital will have to average at least $0.80 per share for us to receive the maximum proceeds of $12.0 million without registering additional shares of common stock. The extent to which we rely on Fusion Capital as a source of funding will depend on a number of factors, including the prevailing market price of our common stock and the extent to which we are able to secure 4 working capital from other sources, such as through the sale of additional securities and or loans from commercial or private sources and/or sale/leaseback agreements on our future product deliveries. If obtaining sufficient financing from Fusion Capital were to prove prohibitively expensive and if we are unable to commercialize and sell our Series 2100 tracking product and our tracNET24 information system, we will need to secure another source of funding in order to satisfy our working capital needs. Even if we are able to access the full $12.0 million under the common stock purchase agreement with Fusion Capital, we may still need additional capital to fully implement our business, operating and development plans. Should the financing we require to sustain our working capital needs be unavailable or prohibitively expensive when we require it, the consequences would have material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition and prospects. WE HAVE A HIGH LEVEL OF DEBT. As of December 31, 2002, our consolidated notes payable and total long-term debt was $2,611,756. If we cannot pay our debts on time or obtain acceptable alternative terms, there would be a material adverse effect on us and our stockholders. Assuming we are able to negotiate extensions of our notes payable due in 2003, we expect to pay our other debts as they become due out of cash flow from operations, but this expectation is subject to a variety of factors that could cause us to be unable to pay our debts. THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK IS HIGHLY VOLATILE AND SUBJECT TO DILUTION. The market price of our common stock has been and is expected to continue to be highly volatile. Factors, including announcements of technological innovations by us or other companies, regulatory matters, new or existing products or procedures, concerns about our financial position, operating results, litigation, government regulation, developments or disputes relating to agreements, patents or proprietary rights, may have a significant impact on the market price of our stock. In addition, potential dilutive effects of future issuances of shares of common stock by the Company, including issuances of common stock to the holders of warrants and options, could have an adverse effect on the prices of our securities. THE SALE OF OUR COMMON STOCK TO FUSION CAPITAL MAY CAUSE DILUTION AND THE SALE OF THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ACQUIRED BY FUSION CAPITAL COULD CAUSE THE PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK TO DECLINE The purchase price for the common stock to be issued to Fusion Capital pursuant to the common stock purchase agreement will fluctuate based on the price of our common stock. All shares in this offering are freely tradable. Fusion Capital may sell none, some or all of the shares of common stock purchased from us at any time. We expect that the shares offered by this prospectus will be sold over a period of up to 40 months from the date of this prospectus. Depending upon market liquidity at the time, a sale of shares under this offering at any given time could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline. The sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock under this offering, or anticipation of such sales, could make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and at a price that we might otherwise wish to effect sales. A SMALL GROUP OF EXISTING STOCKHOLDERS CONTROL A LARGE PORTION OF OUR COMMON STOCK. Total Tech LLC currently owns 6,407.4 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock. In the event that Total Tech LLC converted all of the Series A Preferred Stock held by it, it would beneficially own 37.00% of our common stock. As a result, this stockholder could exercise its ownership position to influence matters requiring stockholder approval, including a merger with another corporation or the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of our Company. 5 OUR COMMON STOCK IS DEEMED TO BE "PENNY STOCK," WHICH MAY MAKE IT MORE DIFFICULT FOR INVESTORS TO SELL THEIR SHARES DUE TO SUITABILITY REQUIREMENTS. Our common stock is deemed to be "penny stock" as that term is defined in Rule 3a51-1 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These requirements may reduce the potential market for our common stock by reducing the number of potential investors. This may make it more difficult for our selling stockholders to sell shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of them, which in turn could cause our stock price to decline. Penny stocks are stock: - With a price of less than $5.00 per share; - That are not traded on a "recognized" national exchange; - Whose prices are not quoted on the Nasdaq automated quotation system (Nasdaq listed stock must still have a price of not less than $5.00 per share); or - In issuers with net tangible assets less than $2.0 million (if the issuer has been in continuous operation for at least three years) or $5.0 million (if in continuous operation for less than three years), or with average revenues of less than $6.0 million for the last three years. Broker/dealers dealing in penny stocks are required to provide potential investors with a document disclosing the risks of penny stocks. Moreover, broker/dealers are required to determine whether an investment in a penny stock is a suitable investment for a prospective investor. See "DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK-Penny Stock Rules" on page 41 of this prospectus. BUSINESS RISKS OUR TECHNOLOGY, PRODUCTS AND SERVICES MAY RAPIDLY BECOME OBSOLETE. The market in which we compete is characterized by rapid technological change, evolving industry standards, frequent introductions of new products, and changes in customer demands that can render existing products obsolete and unmarketable. Our current products are the Series 2100 PTU and the software which provides the web hosted tracking application. The Series 2100 PTU is a passive device which collects and stores location data until it is placed in a charger base from which it uploads stored data via a traditional land-line telephone system. The market may demand an active device which uploads location data via a wireless cellular telephone system as the PTU is moved about. Newer, faster and more accurate mapping software may make the mapping software modules we currently use and which form a part of our tracNET24 application obsolete. tracNET24 operates with the Microsoft Windows 2000(R) operating system. Future releases of Windows may compel us to upgrade and there is no assurance that our application software will operate with such new releases. Our current application servers will require continuous upgrading with newer and faster models or we risk losing our technological edge. Such servers are subject to electronic and mechanical failures which may cause extensive down-time to the detriment of our ability to maintain quality services for our customers. Our future success will depend upon our ability to address the increasingly sophisticated needs of our customers by supporting existing and emerging hardware, software, database, and networking platforms and by developing and introducing enhancements to our existing products and new products on a timely basis that keep pace with technological developments, evolving industry standards, and changing customer requirements. 6 WE COULD FACE COMPETITION FROM COMPANIES WITH SIGNIFICANTLY GREATER RESOURCES. We are aware of one privately held company that directly competes with the products and services that we offer. However, there are currently several companies that use GPS, electronic mapping and internet technologies to provide tracking and monitoring products and services. The markets served by these companies include vehicle and rail car tracking, vehicle fleet management, container tracking as well as 911 emergency response services. While the companies serving these markets do not currently sell products or services to the criminal offender tracking and monitoring markets, these companies may in the future enter this market. Many of these companies have substantially greater financial, technical, marketing, distribution and procurement resources than we have. Accordingly, we may not be able to effectively compete with these larger companies should they decide to enter the market we are in. WE RELY ON THIRD PARTY VENDORS. The components used in our products are acquired from various electronics manufacturers. Lack of availability of key components would adversely affect our ability to produce and deliver products on a timely basis. Examples of such key components include the chip set for acquiring the GPS information, the processor used to compute and manipulate data, the wireless communications boards, and the memory cards used for data storage. We have endeavored to design our products in a manner that allows substitution of key components for those from another manufacturer, but alternative components may not be available quickly enough to avoid delaying production and shipment of customer orders. We could, in the future, lose revenues as a result of such delays. We currently rely on one mid-sized electronics manufacturer to manufacture the bulk of our PTUs and manage the supply chain of electronic components for such PTUs. We have a small back-up manufacturer, but we have not qualified or contracted with other secondary manufacturers. If our agreements with current manufacturers are terminated or expire, our search for additional or replacement manufacturers could result in significant delays, added expense and our inability to maintain or expand our customer base. WE ARE NOT IN CONTROL OF GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM TECHNOLOGY, A KEY ELEMENT OF OUR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES. We depend on Global Positioning System (GPS) technology owned and controlled by others. If we do not have continued access to GPS technology and satellites, we will be unable to deliver our products and services and our revenues will decrease significantly. Our services rely on signals from GPS satellites built and maintained by the U.S. Department of Defense. GPS satellites and their ground support systems are subject to electronic and mechanical failures and sabotage. If one or more satellites malfunction, there could be a substantial delay before they are repaired or replaced, if at all, and our services may cease and customer satisfaction would suffer. In addition, the U.S. government could decide not to continue to operate and maintain Global Positioning System satellites over a long period of time or to charge for the use of the Global Positioning System. Furthermore, because of ever-increasing commercial applications of the Global Positioning System, other U.S. government agencies may become involved in the administration or the regulation of the use of Global Positioning System signals in the future. If the foregoing factors affect the Global Positioning System, such as by affecting the availability and pricing of Global Positioning System technology, our business will suffer. Global Positioning System technology is also dependent on the use of radio frequency spectrum. An international organization known as the International Telecommunications Union controls the assignment of spectrum. If the International Telecommunications Union reallocates radio frequency spectrum, our 7 services may become less useful or less reliable. This would, in turn, harm our business. In addition, emissions from mobile satellites and other equipment using other frequency bands may adversely affect the utility and reliability of our services. WE MAY BE UNABLE TO PROTECT OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS. We will rely primarily on a combination of patents, copyrights, trade secrets, and trademark laws; confidentiality procedures; and contractual provisions to protect our intellectual property rights. We also believe that factors such as the technological and creative skills of our personnel, new product developments, frequent product enhancements, name recognition, and reliable product maintenance are essential to establishing and maintaining a technology leadership position. There is a risk (1) that any patents issued to us may be invalidated, circumvented, or challenged, (2) that the rights granted thereunder will not provide competitive advantages to us or (3) that none of our future patent applications will be issued with the scope of the claims sought by us, if at all. Furthermore, there is the risk that others may develop technologies that are similar or superior to our technology or design around any patents issued to us. Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy aspects of our products or to obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect our proprietary rights as fully as do the laws of the United States. See (Intellectual Property Rights) of this prospectus. We were previously a defendant in a lawsuit to declare one of our existing patents invalid. Although we settled the lawsuit with an acknowledgment of the validity of our patent, the matter cost substantial time and expenses. There is no assurance that similar claims will not be made in the future by other parties and we will be obliged to defend the validity of our patents at potentially significant cost to us. We have not registered our patents with most foreign countries and we may have no legal recourse to proceed against entities in such countries who choose to copy our hardware and/or software. The measures we take to protect our proprietary rights may not be adequate. We have been granted a nonexclusive software license from SiRF Technology Incorporated ("SiRF"). SiRF has designed GPS chip sets and software solutions that allow us to embed GPS technology into our products. This license is for an indefinite term; however, it may be terminated if SiRF loses any of its rights as to the software products encompassed therein or by either party upon thirty (30) days written notice in the event of a material breach of the license by the other party. Termination of this license could have a material adverse effect on our business. WE ARE DEPENDENT ON KEY PERSONNEL. In the event that the significant growth of our revenues occurs, such growth may place a significant strain upon our management systems and resources. Our ability to compete effectively and to manage future growth, if any, will require us to continue to improve our financial and management controls, reporting systems, and procedures on a timely basis and expand, train, and manage our employee workforce. Our failure to do so could have a material adverse effect upon our business, operating results, and financial condition. Our future performance therefore depends in significant part on the continued service of our key technical, sales, and senior management personnel. Key personnel include Michael May and James Stark. We have employment agreements with Mr. May and Mr. Stark. We do not maintain key man insurance on Mr. May and Mr. Stark. The loss of the services of one or more of our executive officers could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial condition. Our future success also depends on our continuing ability to attract and retain highly qualified technical, customer support, sales, and managerial personnel. Competition for such personnel is intense. 8 CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS This prospectus contains forward-looking statements that plan for or anticipate the future.

10 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OVERVIEW The following is a discussion of factors affecting our results for the years ending December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001 and our liquidity and capital resources. This discussion should be read along with our consolidated financial statements and their notes, which can be found beginning on page F-1 of this prospectus. We experienced a delay in the completion our Series 2100 Personal Tracking Unit (PTU) until the first quarter of 2002, stemming from the inability of the contract manufacturer to complete the design for manufacturability in 2001 and to produce manufactured products by the end of 2001. Portions of our PTU were re-designed in early 2002 to improve our product manufacturability and allow for better integration of off-the-shelf components where possible. At the same time, our tracNET24 software was enhanced with new features for animating the record of physical movement as presented on a scaled map, complete with date/time balloons pointing out the geographical location, new pull-down menus and faster, more accurate mapping capabilities. We have now established ourselves as an operating company during the fourth quarter of 2002. For the first three quarters of 2002, we reported as a development stage company. We contracted with two manufacturers in early 2002. In January of 2003, we contracted with Altron Inc, of Anoka, Minnesota, an ISO-9002 qualified electronics manufacturer, to manufacture the bulk of our PTUs. As our sales and leases of PTUs increase, we intend to take advantage of significant volume discounts to lower our per unit manufacturing costs. Our hosting platform, which makes tracNET24 automated monitoring available for use by end-user agencies through the Internet, was deployed in the first quarter of 2002 at a collocation facility operated by Qwest in Minneapolis, Minnesota. It allows us to provide the latest PTU tracking, monitoring, mapping and reporting software as an Application Service Provider (ASP). tracNET24 can now be used by our distribution partners at existing monitoring centers to access and use the system to provide the monitoring services as well as directly by end-user agencies. tracNET24 has been designed for ease of use by computer users who may not be computer literate. Probation and parole agencies now have the choice of utilizing tracNET24 for all their offender movement scheduling, alert notifications, movement reporting, violation reporting, trends analysis and the like, directly by their officers through the use of any personal computer linked to the Internet, or, as an option, let a monitoring center provide all end-user interaction. Sales of our PTUs and our tracNET24 services by our distributors existing in early 2002 were disappointing, in part due to our delayed availability of products and in part due to our inexperience in working with distributors. By year-end 2002, we had sold only 350 PTUs through the then-existing distribution channel. In the fourth quarter of 2002, we endeavored to hire and train a direct sales force. We hired four sales professionals, each with over 15 year's industry experience, in the third and fourth quarters of 2002. In the first two months of 2003, we have subsequently signed five agreements with end-user agencies, one agreement with a service provider and one agreement with a new distributor. We sell and lease our PTUs. We sell our PTUs at our Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price, less a negotiated volume discount. The buyer also enters into a Hosting Services Agreement with us for access to and the use of tracNET24 through the Internet. We charge a daily services fee for each PTU which the buyer desires to have tracked from time to time. The buyer initiates tracking by entering an activation command on an appropriate tracNET24 screen and, similarly, stops the tracking by entering a deactivation 11 command. The daily fee for tracNET24 is only charged from the time of activation to the time of deactivation for each PTU. We bill for PTUs that are sold, and recognize such revenue, upon receipt by the customer. One customer, ADT Security Systems, has a 45 day acceptance clause in its contract agreement with us to accept or reject shipment. All of the 350 units shipped to ADT in 2002 were accepted. tracNET24 services are billed on a daily fee basis. These services are billed as the service is incurred by our customer in arrears on a monthly basis. Such revenue is recognized on the day the daily fee accrues. We began leasing our PTUs on a daily basis in January 2003. For our leased PTUs, we bill on a monthly basis for the daily fees incurred in arrears and add daily service fees for those days, or any part thereof, in which the PTU is being tracked and monitored by tracNET24 as the result of the lessee entering an activation command with tracNET24. Financial results for 2002 reflect our delayed start into the market and our disappointing results from sales through existing distributors. We sold 350 PTUs in 2002, all to one distributor, ADT Security Services. For the first two months of 2003, we have sold or leased 143 PTUs through our direct sales force. PRODUCT REVENUE Product Revenue is derived from the sale of our products. For the year ended December 31, 2002, Product Revenue was $358,305 compared to none during the same period in 2001. The reason for the increase in the comparable period is the sales of our Series 2100 PTUs, as opposed to units being leased in the prior year period. SERVICE REVENUE For 2002, Service Revenue consisted of sales of non-core product which included various ancillary computer equipment and the maintenance associated with such equipment. For the year ended December 31, 2002, Service Revenue was $144,697 compared to $52,652 for the comparable period of 2001. For 2001, Service Revenue consisted of monitoring leased units. The main reason for the twelve-month increase was due to the change in the type of Service Revenue. COST OF PRODUCT REVENUE Cost of Product Revenue represents the direct costs associated with the generation of product revenue, and includes cost of goods for products sold. A portion of our cost of product revenue, which began in March 2002, consists of product development costs amortization of $262,384 associated with our tracNET24 and our Series 2100 tracking unit. For the year ending December 31, 2002, Cost of Product Revenue was $524,933, compared to $0 during the same period in 2001. The primary reason for this cost of product revenue during the year was due to the related sales of our Series 2100 tracking units. The comparison of the 2002 and 2001 costs is not valid because prior to 2002 we leased products and did not sell products to customers. COST OF SERVICE REVENUE Cost of Service Revenue represents the direct costs associated with the generation of service revenue. This includes direct costs of distribution of software and equipment, maintenance expenses on equipment repaired under service agreements, and the direct variable communications and hardware equipment expenses associated with the web centric hosting services provided by our Company. For the year ended December 31, 2002, Cost of Service Revenue decreased to $87,870, compared to $110,198 during the same period in 2001. The 2002 costs are associated with the selling of our Series 2100 personal tracking units, while the 2001 costs were solely related to the leasing of our old 1702 units. Approximately $38,900 of the 2002 costs is associated with our outsourced web centric hosting services, while roughly $48,400 is 12 associated with our sales and support of various computer equipment and maintenance agreements of the company. The primary reason for the overall lower cost of sales for the twelve-month period was due to the type of service revenue of leasing units to the selling of units. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT Research and Development expenses are the direct costs associated with our Company's development of proprietary products. Expenses in this category include the cost of outside contracted engineering and design, staffing expenses for engineers and software developers, and the actual costs of components, prototypes, and testing equipment and services used in the product development functions. The Research and Development expenses increased to $773,248 for the year ended December 31, 2002, up from $496,727 for the same period in 2001. The main reason for the twelve-month increase was increases in salaries and wages due to additional personnel added to our Company for software development associated with our Series 2100 tracking unit. We capitalized software and hardware development costs in accordance with the Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 86, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed. During the years ending 2002 and 2001, we capitalized $47,257 and $714,401 of product development costs, respectively. The capitalization of these costs begins when a product's technological feasibility has been established and we have a detailed product design. The capitalization of these costs ends when the product is available for general release to customers. We are amortizing these costs on a straight line basis over an estimated economic useful life of three years or on the ratio of current revenue to total projected product revenues, whichever is shorter once the product is available to customers. We began to amortize these costs in 2002. For the year ended December 31, 2002, we amortized $262,384. It is reasonably possible that those estimates of projected product revenues, the remaining estimated economic life of the product or both would be reduced significantly in the near term due to competitive pressures or technological changes. As a result, the carrying amount of the capitalized software and hardware costs may be reduced materially in the near term. $86,962 and $133,833 of capitalized software and hardware development costs were charged to expense in the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, due to impairment. Based upon our product sales and product leasing to date and upon our projected sales for the future, we believe there is no impairment of product development costs. SALES, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE Sales, General and Administrative expenses are all the expenses associated with the operations and marketing of our company, outside of the expenses described above. These expenses include executive, sales, administrative and accounting staff payroll, taxes and benefits, rent on property, all travel, fixed telephone expenses, office leases and supplies, marketing advertising in magazines and periodicals, attendance at trade shows, production of marketing and related collateral material, as well as recruiting and training expenses. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2002, Sales, General and Administrative expense increased to $4,172,160, compared from $3,112,155 in the comparable period of 2001. The main reasons for the increases during the year were increases in salaries and wages due to additional sales personnel added to our Company, as well as increases in compensation and other costs incurred related to various sales consulting agreements for sales and marketing expansion. OPERATING (LOSS) For the year ended December 31, 2002, operating (loss) was $(5,055,209), compared to $(3,666,428) for the same period in 2001. The main reason for the twelve-month increase was higher expenses in the period, as explained above. 13 INTEREST EXPENSE For the twelve months ended December 31, 2002, Interest expense totaled $203,419, compared to interest expense of $671,042 in the comparable period of 2001. This interest expense decrease was due to a reduction of debt in the third and fourth quarter of 2001 through the issuance of common and preferred stock, coupled with lower interest rates throughout the year. LOAN ACQUISITION EXPENSE, STOCKHOLDERS For the year ended December 31, 2002, loan acquisition expense was $536,734, compared to $2,047,259 for the comparable period of 2001. This expense is due to stock warrants issued to various stockholders or individuals for lending us money and for their personal guarantees on the notes payable with certain banks. We raised more capital from equity financing in 2002 from the placement of common stock than we did through personal loans and guarantees on bank notes. Fewer stock warrants were issued during the year 2002 than the previous year. OTHER, NET For the year ended December 31, 2002, we had other income of $0 compared to $199,875 for the comparable period of 2001. This income in 2001 was the initial license fee payment from DMATEK, LTD of Israel for entering into a worldwide non-exclusive license agreement with us allowing DMATEK the rights to use our patents in people tracking applications. NET (LOSS) For the year ended December 31, 2002, we had a Net Loss of $(5,793,620), compared to a Net Loss of $(6,184,811), in the comparable period of 2001, for the reasons described above. PREFERRED DIVIDENDS For the twelve months ended December 31, 2002, preferred dividends totaled $807,832, as compared to $68,161 for the comparable period of 2001. This increase was due to the majority of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock was outstanding throughout 2002 as compared to being outstanding for only one month for the year ended December 31, 2001. NET (LOSS) AVAILABLE TO COMMON STOCKHOLDERS For the year ended December 31, 2002, we had a net (loss) available to common stockholders of $(6,601,452) compared to a net (loss) available to common stockholders of $(6,252,972) in the comparable period of 2001. The reasons for the difference are described above. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES For the year ended December 31, 2002, we used $(3,481,345) in cash in operating activities, another $(399,847) in investing activities, and we generated $3,928,127 in cash from financing activities. The total of all cash flow activities resulted in an increase in the balance of cash for the year ended December 31, 2002 of $46,935. For the same period of 2001, we used $(2,463,068) of cash in operating activities and $(557,409) in investing activities. We generated $2,965,889 in cash from financing activities. The total of all cash flow activities resulted in a decrease in the balance of cash of $(54,588). 14 In January 2003, we entered into a sale/leaseback agreement with a third party leasing company. The sale of 100 series 2100 tracking units raised $120,000 in capital for us. We are pursuing other sale/leaseback opportunities with various third party leasing companies. We believe that lease funding of our tracking units can be a additional source of cash to meet our financial needs. We entered into a common stock purchase agreement on March 7, 2003, as amended and restated on April 14, 2003, with Fusion Capital Fund II, LLC, a Chicago based institutional investor. Under the agreement, Fusion Capital will buy up to $12.0 million of our common stock over a period of up to 40 months, subject to our right to extend the agreement for six months. We have the right to control the timing and amount of stock sold to Fusion Capital with the purchase price based upon the market price of the Company's common stock at the time of sale without any discount. Under the common stock purchase agreement, funding of the $12.0 million shall occur from time to time after the Securities and Exchange Commission has declared effective a registration statement covering the shares of common stock to be purchased by Fusion Capital. We are also in the process of obtaining additional bridge financing from a financial institution to help cover some of our general operating expenses. We are working on an additional private placement of $3,350,000 in equity financing to continue to fund the operations and production of our tracking devices and related services. During 2002 we incurred approximately $237,000 in general monthly recurring operating expenses. 58% of that, or roughly $137,000, was salaries and wages and the taxes associated with them. Another 11% are expenses surrounding legal, professional and public company issues, while around 8% were health and liability insurance expenses. Travel expenses, plus our utilities, including rent, each account for 4% of our monthly burn. An additional $2,101,000 in certain non-cash and one-time expenses were recorded in 2002. Expenses incorporating this category includes consulting fees, stock options issue expenses and commissions. As explained above, additional funding for operations and production of our tracking devices and related services will be necessary to cover these continued monthly expenses. In an agreement, dated as of November 7, 2001, Total Tech, LLC, Roger Kanne, Dennis Anderson, Martin Halbur, Macke Partners, Robert Badding and James and Patricia Pietig as trustees of the James L. Pietig 1992 Revocable Trust U/TA 3 13 92 (collectively, the "Investors"), acquired 8,609.80 shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series A Preferred"). Each share of Series A Preferred is convertible into 1,000 shares of Common Stock, subject to adjustment for stock splits and similar events. The Series A Preferred has a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share (the "Stated Value") and a dividend preference equal to 9.5% per annum of the Stated Value. Preferred dividends totaling $203,121 at December 31, 2002 have been accrued but not declared. Dividends are payable at the option of the Board of Directors, in cash or in additional shares of Series A Preferred (valued at $1,000 per share). A group of disinterested directors determines whether such dividends are paid in cash or in-kind. Holders of Series A Preferred have no voting rights except with respect to any action which (1) alters or changes the rights, preferences or privileges of the Series A Preferred materially and adversely, (2) increases the authorized number of shares of Series A Stock, (3) creates any new class of shares having preference over or being on a parity with the Series A Stock or (4) involves sales by the Company of a substantial portion of its assets, any merger of the Company with another entity, or any amendment of the Company's certificate of incorporation. The Series A Preferred was issued in consideration of the forgiveness of indebtedness owed to the Investors in the aggregate of $1,497,915, the assumption of $1,000,000 of bank debt by certain investors, the cancellation of 11,071,716 stock purchase warrants held by the Investors (having an aggregate value of $1,932,887) and the assumption by Total Tech, LLC of $4,178,989 of our Company's indebtedness with financial institutions. In 2002, $2,476,763 of the above described indebtedness was transferred to Total Tech, LLC. Members of Total Tech, LLC include Dennis Anderson, Robert Badding, Mary Collison, Martin Halbur, Roger Kanne, Ronald Muhlbauer, and James and Patricia Pietig as trustees of the James L. Pietig 1992 Revocable Trust U/TA 3-13-92. 15 On October 28, 2002, Macke Partners acquired 150 shares of our Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series B Preferred"). Holders of Series B Preferred are entitled to receive cumulative, fixed rate dividends, starting at 10%, increasing to: 11% after six months; 12% after twelve months; and, 13% after twenty four months. Each share of Series B Preferred is convertible into 1,667 shares of Common Stock, subject to adjustment for stock splits and similar events. The Series B Preferred has a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share. The Company may call part or all Series B Preferred with the payment of a premium (see "Series B Convertible Preferred Stock" under Foot Note No. 6). On January 8, 2003, another 150 Series B Convertible Preferred Shares were issued to Macke Partners. As of March 5, 2003, we had the following borrowing facilities in place, all of which are guaranteed by various directors of our Company: We have a $750,000 note payable from U.S. Bank N.A. of Omaha, Nebraska. We are repaying this loan in 35 monthly payments of $16,557 and one last payment estimated at $369,376 due June 30, 2003. The interest rate is a variable rate based on the U.S. Bank N.A. Reference Rate (the "Index Rate") plus one-fourth (0.25) percent. As of December 31, 2002, the Index Rate was currently four and one-fourth (4.25) percent, and the outstanding loan balance was $403,438. This loan is secured by a security interest in our tangible and intangible assets. We intend to negotiate with the bank to renew and extend this note payable. We have a $1,000,000 note payable from Wells Fargo Bank. Interest only payments are due monthly. The note matures on July 31, 2003 and carries an interest rate per annum equal to the prime rate. As of December 31, 2002, the prime rate is four and one-fourth (4.25)%. We intend to negotiate with the bank to renew and extend this note payable. We have a $98,318 note payable from Nebraska State Bank of Omaha. This short-term note matured on January 21, 2003 and has since been renewed until June 5, 2003 and carries an interest rate of seven and one-fourth (7.25)% due at maturity. The majority of our remaining $1,060,000 in notes payable consists of amounts owed to individuals, primarily directors of our Company, which mature within one year and carry interest rates ranging from 6% to 10%. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). This requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect reported amounts and related disclosures. Actual amounts will differ from those estimates. Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to the audited Consolidated Financial Statements. Of those policies, we have identified the following to be the most critical because they are the most important to our portrayal of our results of operations and financial condition and they require subjective or complex management judgments: o Revenue recognition related to sale of our Series 2100 product and for services provided through our tracNET24 information system. We charge a daily services fee for each PTU which the buyer desires to have tracked from time to time. The buyer initiates tracking by entering an activation command on an appropriate tracNET24 screen and, similarly, stops the tracking by entering a deactivation command. The daily fee for tracNET24 is only charged from the time of activation to the time of deactivation for each PTU. Revenue related to this daily service fee was $2,009 in 2002. We bill for PTUs that are sold, and recognize such revenue, upon receipt by the customer. All 2002 sales were made to one distributor. We record revenue when the PTUs are received by the distributor, which is also the point at which the distributor takes title to the PTUs. One customer, ADT Security Systems, has a 45 day acceptance clause in 16 its contract agreement with us to accept or reject shipment. All 350 units shipped to ADT in 2002 were accepted. tracNET24 services are billed on a daily fee basis. These services are billed as the service is incurred by our customer in arrears on a monthly basis. Such revenue is recognized on the day the daily fee accrues. We began leasing our PTUs on a daily basis in January 2003. For our leased PTUs, we bill on a monthly basis for the daily fees incurred in arrears and add daily service fees for those days, or any part thereof, in which the PTU is being tracked and monitored by tracNET24 as the result of the lessee entering an activation command with tracNET24. o Capitalization of product development costs related to the hardware development of our series 2100 product and the software development of our tracNET24 information system. We capitalized software and hardware development costs in accordance with the Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 86, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed. During the years ending 2002 and 2001, we capitalized $47,257 and $714,401 of product development costs, respectively. The capitalization of these costs begins when a product's technological feasibility has been established and we have a detailed product design. The capitalization of these costs ends when the product is available for general release to customers. We are amortizing these costs on a straight line basis over an estimated economic useful life of three years or on the ratio of current revenue to total projected product revenues, whichever is shorter once the product is available to customers. We began to amortize these costs in 2002. For the year ended December 31, 2002, we amortized $262,384. It is reasonably possible that those estimates of projected product revenues, the remaining estimated economic life of the product or both would be reduced significantly in the near term due to competitive pressures or technological changes. As a result, the carrying amount of the capitalized software and hardware costs may be reduced materially in the near term. $86,962 and $133,833 of capitalized software and hardware development costs were charged to expense in the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, due to impairment. Based upon our product sales and product leasing to date and upon our projected sales for the future, we believe there is no impairment of product development costs. OUR BUSINESS GENERAL We have designed, engineered and developed personal tracking devices for individuals and the software to monitor, map and report on the movements of such devices and the individuals wearing them. We are currently marketing our system to criminal justice agencies in the United States, the United Kingdom and Canada. Our Personal Tracking Unit (PTU) is a twelve ounce, compact, electronic case which can be worn on an individual's belt or in a coat pocket. The PTU contains a GPS receiver, telephone modem, micro processors loaded with our proprietary firmware, internal antennas, signal processors, flash memory, other electronic components and rechargeable batteries, which we designed to be highly reliable, rugged and durable. Our current Series 2100 model PTU was designed to be worn by criminal offenders on probation, parole or pre-trial release and operates in conjunction with a transmitter housed in an ankle or wrist cuff. The cuff transmitter is securely affixed to the offender by a corrections officer. Any attempts to remove the cuff generate an alert signal and is a probation violation. The cuff transmitter, and hence the offender, must remain within 150 feet of the PTU or the signal transmitted by the cuff transmitter is not received and the PTU will send an alert, via a telephone network, to an appropriate authority. 17 Our tracNET24(TM) automated monitoring system is provided to end-user agencies through the Internet. Any probation officer with a secure log-in can access the system and know exactly where any of his or her clients, wearing a PTU, have been over any given time period. The officer can instantly program the PTU worn by any of the offenders he or she is monitoring to create or modify a schedule of locations where the offender must be at certain times of the day or week or month (e.g. a place of work, medical appointments, counseling appointments, meetings with the probation officer, etc.). He/she merely enters a drop down menu for the schedule and either enters an address or points to a spot on the map and specifies a radius. He/she has now created "inclusion zones" for the offender. Similarly, the officer can create "exclusion zones" (e.g. schools, home of an ex-spouse, etc.). The commands can be entered on any PC connected to the Internet and are downloaded to the PTU, which may be physically located anywhere else. TracNET24 provides automated monitoring as it is capable of alerting any appropriate authorities to probation violations; tracks the movements of an offender anywhere in the community; and, reports the movements with date and time stamps on maps and reports to the appropriate authorities, thereby relieving them of time consuming phone calls to verify the offender's presence at work or other places and to assure that the offender does not enter forbidden zones. We market our PTUs and hosted tracNET24 services through a network of distributors, service providers and our own sales representatives. We sell or lease our PTUs and provide access to and use of tracNET24 on a fee basis as an Application Service Provider (ASP) on the Internet. On November 1, 2001, we entered into a non-exclusive distribution agreement with ADT Security Services, Inc. ("ADT"), which committed to purchase 1,000 of our PTUs. ADT will distribute these units to various law enforcement agencies. We will provide tracNET24 automated monitoring services to ADT and their end-user customers on a 24/7 basis. On February 18, 2002, we entered into a non-exclusive distribution agreement with Veridian Information Solutions, Inc., a large government contractor of information services. In addition to reselling our PTUs, Veridian intends to integrate our tracNET24 data base with their Veritrax system for charting and projecting criminal patterns and trends. We are currently negotiating with several other potential national and foreign distributors. Our marketing and sales staff currently consists of five full time sales managers, three independent sales representatives and three sales support personnel. Part time sales support is also provided by our executives and technical personnel. To date, we have contracted with three service provider companies, which contract with criminal justice agencies to provide monitoring services, and with four end-user criminal justice agencies. We believe use of our system can offer substantial cost savings over the cost of incarceration in traditional jails and prisons and improve the efficiency of probation and parole officers. It also offers the backlogged criminal justice systems a more secure solution to the problems of rapidly growing criminal populations, overcrowded correctional facilities and more lenient sentencing alternatives. In addition to the criminal justice market, we have had discussions and marketed to additional industries where we believe our products and services offer attractive solutions to current problems, including the transportation industry. Our products and services to this market would include automatic vehicle tracking and the installation of tracking units at strategic locations, monitoring the status of freight cargo (whether loaded or unloaded on a trailer or other container). THE ELECTRONIC MONITORING MARKET According to the U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics latest report, dated August 25, 2002, 6.6 million adults were under some form of correctional supervision at December 31, 2001. The number of prisoners under 18 the jurisdiction of federal or state correctional authorities on that date reached a record high of 2.0 million. Moreover, 4.6 million adults were under parole or probation supervision. The total adult correctional population has increased 45.3% from 1991 to 2001. This growth has resulted in stresses on the correctional system in terms of both management and costs. While this has led to increased use of probation and parole as alternatives to incarceration, caseworkers are unable to monitor probationers and parolees effectively. Electronic monitoring enhances the ability of caseworkers to monitor the activities of probationers and parolees, as well as affording house arrest as an economic alternative to incarceration. Electronic monitoring offers two distinct advantages over incarceration, 1) it reduces the public's tax burden by allowing the offender to work and, subsequently, to pay for electronic monitoring costs, and 2) it reduces prison and jail overcrowding by providing a viable alternative to incarceration. The traditional house arrest application utilizes (1) a fixed location radio frequency device connected to a power source and telephone line (a "house arrest unit") and (2) a tamper-proof transmitter cuff worn by the offender. The individual under house arrest must remain within a specified distance of the house arrest unit. When they leave that proximity, the house arrest unit transmits a notification over the telephone line to a monitoring center. The monitoring center software and operators determine if this is a permitted or authorized departure, using tables of individual schedules provided by the contracting authorities. If they determine it is a violation of the programmed schedule, a violation notice is created and the appropriate authorities are contacted using pre-established protocols. These protocols can include voice calls, paging, faxing, e-mail or some combination. Additionally, reports are created for transmission as required by the customer organization. House arrest monitoring equipment first became commercially available in 1984. In 1987, twenty-one (21) states reported using this electronic monitoring as a sentencing alternative. By 1995, all fifty states were using at least limited amounts of house arrest electronic monitoring. Experts estimate that as many as 300,000 individuals now incarcerated could be supervised more cost-effectively and safely using appropriate electronic supervision. [Source: Journal of Offender Monitoring, January 1998 and March 1999 issues] Also, the Journal of Offender Monitoring estimated 95,000 individuals under electronic house arrest at the beginning of 1999. These individuals were monitored primarily through third party service providers under contract to the appropriate local, state and federal agencies. We believe there is a substantial opportunity to provide a system to allow offenders to be tracked and monitored away from the fixed house arrest location. In early 1994, our Company began looking into the feasibility of utilizing GPS receivers and wireless communications technologies in a device which could be worn by offenders and thus allow electronically supervised release from house arrest. In December of 1994, we described our concepts in a patent application filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office for an "Apparatus and Method for Continuous Electronic Monitoring and Tracking of Individuals." Over the next seven years, we continued to pioneer the development of a system of continuous monitoring of mobile offenders by creating smaller and lighter Personal Tracking Units (PTUs) and refining the software to track and monitor the location of the PTUs. In late 1995, we began to field test PTUs. Our lunch pail sized units were extensively tested by the Nebraska Department of Corrections and the concept was proven. In 1997, size had been reduced and functionality was increased. Our 1702 model PTU, the size and shape of a "bag phone", had been made capable of changing inclusion and exclusion zones while mobile, through parameters downloaded from central monitoring computers, another first for the industry. The 1702 model was used by state probation officers in Texas, Arizona and Illinois. In the meantime, we filed two additional patent applications, in 1997 and 1998. In 2000, we were issued two patents for the apparatus and method of tracking persons or mobile objects with the use of GPS and wireless communications. In 2002 we launched our new Series 2100 PTU and our web-based tracNET24 automated monitoring system. 19 We derive our revenue from the sale of PTUs and related products and services and from the use of our web-based tracking and monitoring system, known as tracNet24(TM). tracNet24 is a hosted application, accessible to our distributors and their justice agency customers through secured log-ins and allows tracking and monitoring of all electronically activated PTUs. For each PTU monitored through tracNet24, we charge a daily hosting fee. Additional revenue is generated for data archiving services and custom reporting. Our typical agreements with established distributors in the criminal justice marketplace consist of (i) product purchase and distribution agreements and (ii) hosting services agreements. The usual term of the agreements is from three to five years, with automatic one year renewals thereafter. We warrant our products to be free from defects and to operate in accordance with our published product specifications for a period of one year. Negotiated product volume discounts, product shipping and delivery terms, and pricing for training, and extended product warranties are also described in our distribution agreements. Our standard hosting services agreements with our distributors contain terms for guaranteed system availability and capacity, accessibility through the Internet with standard browsing software and charges for data archiving. COMPETITION We believe that only one other company, Pro Tech Monitoring, Inc., has a GPS-based product in the field today. We compete with ProTech Monitoring on the basis of price, quality of product and quality of service. BUSINESS STRATEGY The key elements of our business strategy are to: o Be a leader in applying GPS technology to applications for tracking and monitoring individuals on parole, probation and pre-trial release. To accomplish this goal: We have devoted significant resources to develop and improve our products. We are constantly evaluating improvements in technology components and communications systems and new or improved capabilities for our products. We have signed lease and service agreements with end-user agencies and service providers since the release of our new Series 2100 PTU and are increasing our marketing and sales to other such agencies and providers. We have signed distribution and hosting services agreements with leading private monitoring centers and are pursuing other appropriate distributors to replace traditional house arrest with our GPS based system. o Target application opportunities within other specific market niches for tracking individuals and tangible assets and to be a supplier of equipment and software to those end markets. o Maintain the capability to undertake special projects, funded by specific customers to meet their unique needs. These special projects will be done to advance our knowledge in certain markets and to fund development within specific application areas. To date, we have worked on no special projects. 20 THE PRODUCTS AND SERVICES OF THE COMPANY We introduced our Series 2100 Personal Tracking Unit next generation product in the first quarter of 2002. The Series 2100 Personal Tracking Unit provides our customers with real-time monitoring of any individual or thing on either a continuous or periodic basis through the Internet, whether the person or object is moving or is at a fixed location. The Series 2100 Personal Tracking Unit offering consists of the following components: A tracking unit is worn by or placed near the subject. The tracking unit is secured to the subject via a wireless cuff, which is about the size of a standard wristwatch. The wireless cuff is waterproof and shockproof; our case and strap are designed to be tamper resistant. The tracking unit utilizes information from the GPS to triangulate the subject's physical position. The tracking unit then transmits this and other information to the tracNET24 hosting center. In addition, the tracking unit can be used in a docking station (which is similar to a cradle for a cordless telephone) as a house arrest monitor. The tracking unit monitors the status of the wireless cuff and itself and reports the following conditions: o Status of radio frequency contact between tracking unit and the house arrest monitor, including proximity violations (i.e. failure to remain within specified proximity of the house arrest monitor) o Tampering with tracking unit or the house arrest monitor o Status of communications between the house arrest monitor and the operations center o Status of power connection of the house arrest monitor o Status of tracking unit battery o Inclusion zone violations (i.e. subject being out of a designated area inappropriately) o Exclusion zone violations (i.e., being in an area or location from which the subject is prohibited) o Find Me Mapping (i.e. allows customers to locate the specific location of the unit and our offender at any given time) Each customer will access and maintain their offender information and will also monitor the movement of offenders through our host software on the Internet. The customer can build daily schedules and program inclusion and exclusion zones via their Internet connection. We provide various levels of service to meet the specific needs of our customers. THE TECHNOLOGY Wireless communications are transmitted through the space via radio frequency radiation, one of several types of electromagnetic radiation. The radio frequency part of the electromagnetic spectrum is generally defined as electromagnetic radiation with frequencies in the range of 3 kilohertz to 300 gigahertz. One "hertz" equals one cycle per second. A kilohertz ("kHz") is one thousand-hertz, a megahertz ("MHz") is one million-hertz and a gigahertz ("GHz") is one billion-hertz. Microwave radiation is a high-frequency form of radio frequency radiation usually defined as from about 300 MHz to 300 GHz. 21 Familiar uses of radio frequency radiation involving telecommunications include AM and FM radios, television, citizens band radio, hand-held walkie-talkies, amateur radio, short-wave radio, cordless telephones and microwave point-to-point and ground-to-satellite telecommunications links. Non-telecommunications applications include microwave ovens and radar. The manufacture, sale and use of devices, which utilize any part of the radio frequency radiation spectrum, are subject to regulation. The Federal Communications Commission (the "FCC") is the principal agency responsible for such regulation within the United States. State and local governments, however, exercise some control respecting the siting of wireless facilities. While many transmitters (such as radio stations) must be individually licensed, certain low-power transmitters need not be. These would include such devices as cordless telephones, baby monitors, garage door openers, wireless home security systems, and keyless automobile entry systems. Before such a device may be marketed, however, it must first be tested to determine if the device meets FCC specifications; and then it must receive authorization from the FCC. The devices that we market fit within this regulatory scheme. GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM. The Global Positioning System consists of at least 24 operational satellites that orbit the earth every 12 hours. Operated by the Department of Defense ("DOD"), this constellation typically permits from five to eight satellites to be visible from any point on earth at any given moment in time. A master control facility located at Schriever Air Force Base in Colorado monitors signals from the satellites and uploads orbital and clock data. A position fix is acquired when a GPS receiver is "seeing" at least three of these satellites. Since the discontinuation of selective availability (which for non-DOD users limited horizontal accuracy to 30 meters) on May 1, 2000, the positioning system is accurate to within 10 meters, approximately 33 ft, for horizontal position, 15 meters, approximately 50 ft, for vertical position and 110 nanoseconds time accuracy. The United States government currently provides GPS signal capabilities free of charge. GPS satellites and their ground support systems are complex electronic systems subject to electronic and mechanical failures and possible sabotage. The satellites have design lives of 7.5 years and are subject to damage by the hostile space environment in which they operate. To repair damaged or malfunctioning satellites is not economically feasible. If a significant number of satellites were to become inoperable, there could be a substantial delay before they are replaced with new satellites. A reduction in the number of operating satellites would impair the current utility of the GPS system and the growth of current and additional market opportunities. In addition, there can be no assurance that the U.S. government will remain committed to the operation and maintenance of GPS satellites over a long period, or that the policies of the U.S. Government for the use of GPS without charge will remain unchanged. Because of ever-increasing commercial applications of GPS, other U.S. Government agencies may become involved in the administration or the regulation of the use of GPS signals. Any of the foregoing factors could affect the willingness of buyers of our products to select GPS-based systems instead of products based on competing technologies such as radio frequency type house arrest units. Any resulting change in market demand for GPS products could have a material adverse effect on our financial results. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS We have been issued three patents to date by the United States Patent Office:(i) No. 6,072,396 for an "Apparatus and Method for Continuous Electronic Monitoring and Tracking of Individuals" was issued on June 6, 2000 and will expire on June 6, 2017; (ii) No. 6,100,806, also for an "Apparatus and Method for Continuous Electronic Monitoring and Tracking of Individuals" was issued on August 8, 2000 and will expire on July 7, 2018; and (iii) No. 6,337,665 was issued on January 8, 2002 for an "Antenna Orientation 22 Maintaining System in a System for Tracking Individuals and Method of Use" and will expire on October 18, 2020. We have been granted a non-exclusive software license from SiRF Technology Incorporated allowing us to embed their GPS technology into our products. We assert common law copyright and statutory trade secret protection to our proprietary software. Our logo and the word "iSecureTrack" are registered trademarks, and the marks "iSecureTrac" and "tracNET24" have applications for registration pending with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. REGULATION The FCC regulates the manufacture, sale and use of radio frequency radiation devices. Similarly, insofar as GPS remains funded and controlled by the U. S. government, devices utilizing GPS must conform to government specifications. Our Series 2100 model PTU has received full FCC compliance certification. The use of tracking devices as an aid to, or indeed substitute for, physical surveillance by law enforcement personnel is subject to federal, state and local law. Generally stated, tracking devices may be attached to or installed upon the monitored person or object without court order as long as the person or objects remain in public view. Once the person or object is withdrawn from public view, a court order is required. But, where a tracking device has been placed with contraband (e.g., stolen goods), rather than with a lawfully possessed item, warrantless monitoring can continue to occur even after the monitored object has been taken onto private premises. As a rule, all persons presently monitored our GPS tracking system are subject to a court order requiring such monitoring as a condition to their release. The use of tracking devices by private persons is also subject to applicable law. The monitoring of persons without their consent or of objects without their owners' or lawful possessors' consent may be a violation of laws protecting privacy and property rights. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT During 2002 and 2001, we expended $773,248 and $496,727, respectively, toward research and development. The costs of such research and development are borne by us and not by any of our customers. We have been a pioneer in the development of GPS tracking as it relates to use in the criminal justice industry. The research and development staff designs and develops products incorporating GPS technology, wireless communications, web based reporting, and data storage and transmission. Our current research and development efforts are focused on additional functionality in the 2100 series product for the criminal justice industry. This platform of technology has been designed to cross over into over market segments including the transportation industry.

DESCRIPTION OF OUR CAPITAL STOCK GENERAL The authorized capital stock of our Company consists of 50,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share. At our annual stockholders meeting on May 30, 2003, our stockholders will be asked to approve a resolution to amend our Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of shares of our common stock from 50,000,000 to 100,000,000 shares. COMMON STOCK Holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote per share in all matters to be voted on by the stockholders. Subject to preferences that may be applicable to any Preferred Stock outstanding at the time, holders of our common stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available to pay for such dividends. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our Company, holders of our common stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment of our Company's liabilities and the liquidation preference, if any, of any outstanding our preferred stock. All of the outstanding shares of our common stock are fully paid and non-assessable. We have paid no dividends on the our common stock for the last three fiscal years or for any subsequent period to the date of this prospectus and do not expect to pay dividends any time in the foreseeable future. Moreover, the rights, preferences and privileges of holders of our common stock are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of shares of any series of our preferred stock which our Company may designate and issue in the future. 37 PREFERRED STOCK Generally, the Board of Directors has the authority, without any further vote or action by the stockholders, to provide for the issuance of up to 1,000,000 shares of our preferred stock from time to time in one or more series with such designations, rights, preferences and limitations as the Board of Directors may determine, including the consideration received therefore. The Board also has the authority to determine the number of shares comprising each series, dividend rates, redemption provisions, liquidation preferences, sinking fund provisions, conversion rights and voting rights without approval by the holders of our common stock. Although it is not possible to state the effect that any issuance of our preferred stock might have on the rights of holders of our common stock, the issuance of our preferred stock may have one or more of the following effects (i) to restrict our common stock dividends if our preferred stock dividends have not been paid, (ii) to dilute the voting power and equity interest of holders of our common stock to the extent that any of our preferred stock series has voting rights or is convertible into our common stock or (iii) to prevent current holders of our common stock from participating in our Company's assets upon liquidation until any liquidation preferences granted to holders of our preferred stock are satisfied. In addition, the issuance of our preferred stock may, under certain circumstances, have the effect of discouraging a change in control of our Company by, for example, granting voting rights to holders of our preferred stock that require approval by the separate vote of the holders of our preferred stock for any amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation or any reorganization, consolidation, merger or other similar transaction involving our Company. As a result, the issuance of such preferred stock may discourage bids for our common stock at a premium over the market price therefore, and could have a materially adverse effect on the market value of the our common stock. SERIES A CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK Our Board of Directors has designated 10,000 shares of our Company's preferred stock as "Series A Convertible Preferred Stock" (the "Series A Stock"). Each share of Series A Stock is convertible into 1,000 shares of our common stock, subject to adjustment for stock splits and similar events. The Series A Stock has a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share (the "Stated Value") and a dividend preference equal to 9.5% per annum of the Stated Value. Dividends are payable at the option of the Board of Directors, in cash or in additional shares of Series A Stock (valued at $1,000 per share). Holders of Series A Stock have no voting rights except with respect to any action which (1) alters or changes the rights, preferences or privileges of the Series A Stock materially and adversely, (2) increases the authorized number of shares of Series A Stock, (3) creates any new class of shares having preference over or being on a parity with the Series A Stock or (4) involves sales by our Company of a substantial portion of its assets, any merger of our Company with another entity, or any amendment of our Company's certificate of incorporation. Our Company may redeem all, or any part, of the Series A Stock at any time or from time to time. The base redemption price is calculated as follows:
REDEMPTION DATE BASE REDEMPTION PRICE --------------- --------------------- If prior to September 30, 2002: 103% of Stated Value If on or after September 30, 2002, but before September 30, 2003: 102% of Stated Value If on or after September 30, 2003, but before September 30, 2004: 101% of Stated Value After September 30, 2004: 100% of Stated Value
38 Holders of Series A Stock have been granted certain registration rights. The Series A Stock is subject to mandatory conversion after September 30, 2004, at the election of the Board of Directors. SERIES B CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK Our Board of Directors has designated 3,500 shares of our Company's preferred stock as "Series B Convertible Preferred Stock" (the "Series B Stock"). Each share of Series B Stock is convertible into 1,667 shares of our common stock, subject to adjustment for stock splits and similar events. The Series B Stock has a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share ("Stated Value") and a dividend preference equal to: 10% per annum of the Stated Value for months 1 though 6; 11% for months 7 through 12; 12% for months 13 through 24 and 13% for months 25 through 60. Dividends are payable at the option of the Board of Directors, in cash or in additional shares of Series B Stock (valued at $1,000 per share). Holders of Series B Stock have no voting rights except with respect to any action which (1) alters or changes the rights, preferences or privileges of the Series B Stock materially and adversely, (2) increases the authorized number of shares of Series B Stock, (3) creates any new class of shares having preference over or being on a parity with the Series B Stock or (4) involves sales by our Company of a substantial portion of its assets, any merger of our Company with another entity, or any amendment of our Company's certificate of incorporation. Our Company may redeem all, or any part, of the Series B Stock at any time or from time to time. The base redemption price is calculated as follows:
REDEMPTION DATE BASE REDEMPTION PRICE --------------- --------------------- If prior to October 31, 2003: 115% of Stated Value If on or after October 31, 2003, but before October 31, 2004: 110% of Stated Value If on or after October 31, 2004, but before October 31, 2005: 105% of Stated Value After October 31, 2005: 100% of Stated Value
Holders of Series B Stock have been granted certain registration rights. The Series B Stock is subject to mandatory conversion after October 31, 2005, at the election of the Board of Directors. NO PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS Except holders of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock, no holder of any capital stock of our Company has any preemptive right to subscribe for or purchase securities of any class or kind of our Company. Also, except holders of Series A and Series B Stock, no holders of any capital stock of our Company have any redemption or conversion rights. DELAWARE BUSINESS COMBINATION STATUTE We are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL"). In general, this law prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a "business combination" with an "interested stockholder" for a period of three years after the date that the person became an interested stockholder unless (with certain exceptions) the business combination or the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder is approved in a prescribed manner. Generally, a "business combination" includes a merger, asset or stock sale, or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the stockholder. An "interested stockholder" is, generally defined as a person who, together with affiliates and 39 associates, owns (or within three years prior, did own) 15% or more of the corporation's voting stock. This provision of Delaware law may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control of our Company without further action by the stockholders. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION The Certificate of Incorporation contains certain provisions permitted under the DGCL relating to the liability of directors. These provisions eliminate a director's personal liability for monetary damages resulting from a breach of fiduciary duty, except in certain circumstances involving certain wrongful acts, such as a breach of a director's duty of loyalty or acts or omissions that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law. These provisions do not limit or eliminate the rights of our Company or any stockholder to seek non-monetary relief, such as an injunction or rescission, in the event of a breach of a director's fiduciary duty. These provisions will not alter a director's liability under federal securities laws. The Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws also contain provisions indemnifying the directors and officers of our Company to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL. We believe that these provisions will assist our Company in attracting and retaining qualified individuals to serve as directors. TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR The Transfer Agent and Registrar of our Common Stock is Atlas Stock Transfer Company of Salt Lake City, Utah. "PENNY STOCK" RULES Our Common Stock is subject to Rule 15g-9 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which imposes additional sales practice requirements upon broker-dealers that sell "penny stocks" to persons other than established customers and institutional accredited investors. For transactions under this rule, a broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and obtain the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to the sale. The Commission defines a "penny stock" to be any non-Nasdaq Stock Market equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction by broker-dealers involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules of the Commission require delivery, prior to a transaction in penny stock, of a risk disclosure document relating to the penny stock market, together with other requirements and restrictions. The requirements may reduce the level of trading activity, if any, in the secondary market for a security subject to penny stock rules, and investors may find their shares difficult to sell. 40 THE FUSION CAPITAL TRANSACTION GENERAL On March 7, 2003, we entered into a common stock purchase agreement with Fusion Capital Fund II, LLC, as amended and restated April 14, 2003, pursuant to which Fusion Capital agreed to purchase on each trading day during the term of the agreement, $15,000 of our common stock or an aggregate of $12.0 million. The $12.0 million of common stock is to be purchased over a 40 month period, subject to a six month extension or earlier termination at our discretion. The purchase price of the shares of common stock will be equal to a price based upon the future market price of the common stock without any fixed discount to the market price. Fusion Capital does not have the right or the obligation to purchase shares of our common stock in the event that the price of our common stock is less than $0.10. We have authorized the sale and issuance of 15,000,000 shares of our common stock to Fusion Capital under the common stock purchase agreement of which we have registered 15,000,000. We estimate that the maximum number of shares we will sell to Fusion Capital under the common stock purchase agreement will be 15,000,000 shares (exclusive of the 1,138,733 shares issued to Fusion Capital as the commitment fee and the 1,076,233 shares that may be issuable as a commitment fee) assuming Fusion Capital purchases all $12,000,000 of common stock. PURCHASE OF SHARES UNDER THE COMMON STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT Under the common stock purchase agreement, on each trading day Fusion Capital is obligated to purchase a specified dollar amount of our common stock. Subject to our right to suspend such purchases at any time, and our right to terminate the agreement with Fusion Capital at any time, each as described below, Fusion Capital shall purchase on each trading day during the term of the agreement $15,000 of our common stock. This daily purchase amount may be decreased by us at any time. We also have the right to increase the daily purchase amount at any time, provided however, we may not increase the daily purchase amount above $15,000 unless our stock price is at least $1.00 per share for five consecutive trading days. The purchase price per share is equal to the lesser of: o the lowest sale price of our common stock on the purchase date; or o the average of the three (3) lowest closing sale prices of our common stock during the twelve (12) consecutive trading days prior to the date of a purchase by Fusion Capital. The purchase price will be adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split, or other similar transaction occurring during the trading days in which the closing bid price is used to compute the purchase price. Fusion Capital may not purchase shares of our common stock under the common stock purchase agreement if Fusion Capital, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own more than 9.9% of our common stock outstanding at the time of the purchase by Fusion Capital. However, even though Fusion Capital may not receive additional shares of our common stock in the event that the 9.9% limitation is ever reached, Fusion Capital is still obligated to pay to us $15,000 on each trading day, unless the common stock purchase agreement is suspended, an event of default occurs or the agreement is terminated. Under these circumstances, Fusion Capital would have the right to acquire additional shares in the future should its ownership subsequently become less than the 9.9%. Fusion Capital has the right at any time to sell any shares purchased under the common stock purchase agreement which would allow it to avoid the 9.9% limitation. Therefore, we do not believe that Fusion Capital will ever reach the 9.9% limitation. 41 The following table sets forth the number of shares of our common stock that would be sold to Fusion Capital under the common stock purchase agreement at varying purchase prices
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ % Outstanding After Giving Proceeds from the Sale of 10,000,000 Assumed Average Number of Shares to be Effect to the Issuance to Fusion Shares to Fusion Capital Under the Purchase Price Issued if Full Purchase Capital (1) Common Stock Purchase Agreement ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- $0.35 15,000,000 27.67% $5,250,000.00 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- $0.75 15,000,000 27.67% $11,250,000.00 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- $0.80 (2) 15,000,000 27.67% $12,000,000.00 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- $1.50 8,000,000 14.76% $12,000,000.00 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------- (1) Based on 38,143,097 shares outstanding as of March 31, 2003 including the issuance of 1,138,733 shares of common stock issued and 1,076,233 shares issuable to Fusion Capital as a commitment fee and the number of shares issuable at the corresponding assumed purchase price set forth in the adjacent column. (2) Closing sale price of our common stock on April 7, 2003. We estimate that we will issue no more than 17,214,966 shares to Fusion Capital under the common stock purchase agreement, including the shares issued and issuable as a commitment fee, all of which are included in this offering. If more than 17,214,966 shares are issuable to Fusion Capital under the common stock purchase agreement, we have the right to terminate the agreement without any payment or liability to Fusion Capital. MINIMUM PURCHASE PRICE We have the right to set a minimum purchase price ("floor price") at any time. Currently, the floor price is $0.35. We can increase or decrease the floor price at any time upon one trading day prior notice to Fusion Capital. However, the floor price cannot be less than $0.10. Fusion Capital shall not have the right nor the obligation to purchase any shares of our common stock in the event that the purchase price is less than the then applicable floor price. OUR RIGHT TO SUSPEND PURCHASES We have the unconditional right to suspend purchases at any time for any reason effective upon one trading day's notice. Any suspension would remain in effect until our revocation of the suspension. To the extent we need to use the cash proceeds of the sales of common stock under the common stock purchase agreement for working capital or other business purposes, we do not intend to restrict purchases under the common stock purchase agreement. OUR RIGHT TO INCREASE AND DECREASE THE DAILY PURCHASE AMOUNT Under the common stock purchase agreement Fusion Capital has agreed to purchase on each trading day during the 40 month term of the agreement, $15,000 of our common stock or an aggregate of $12.0 million. We have the unconditional right to decrease the daily amount to be purchased by Fusion Capital at any time for any reason effective upon one trading day's notice. We also have the right to increase the 42 daily purchase amount as the market price of our common stock increases. Specifically, for every $0.25 increase in Threshold Price above $0.75, the Company shall have the right to increase the daily purchase amount by up to an additional $3,000. For example, if the Threshold Price is $1.00 we would have the right to increase the daily purchase amount to up to an aggregate of $18,000. The "Threshold Price" is the lowest sale price of our common stock during the five trading days immediately preceding our notice to Fusion Capital to increase the daily purchase amount. If at any time during any trading day the sale price of our common stock is below the Threshold Price, the applicable increase in the daily purchase amount will be void. OUR TERMINATION RIGHTS We have the unconditional right at any time for any reason to give notice to Fusion Capital terminating the common stock purchase agreement. Such notice shall be effective one trading day after Fusion Capital receives such notice. EFFECT OF PERFORMANCE OF THE COMMON STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT ON OUR SHAREHOLDERS All shares registered in this offering will be freely tradable. It is anticipated that shares registered in this offering will be sold over a period of up to 40 months from the date of this prospectus. The sale of a significant amount of shares registered in this offering at any given time could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline and to be highly volatile. Fusion Capital may ultimately purchase all of the shares of common stock issuable under the common stock purchase agreement, and it may sell some, none or all of the shares of common stock it acquires upon purchase. Therefore, the purchases under the common stock purchase agreement may result in substantial dilution to the interests of other holders of our common stock. However, we have the right at any time for any reason to: (1) reduce the daily purchase amount, (2) suspend purchases of the common stock by Fusion Capital and (3) terminate the common stock purchase agreement . NO SHORT-SELLING OR HEDGING BY FUSION CAPITAL Fusion Capital has agreed that neither it nor any of its affiliates shall engage in any direct or indirect short-selling or hedging of our common stock during any time prior to the termination of the common stock purchase agreement. EVENTS OF DEFAULT Generally, Fusion Capital may terminate the common stock purchase agreement without any liability or payment to the Company upon the occurrence of any of the following events of default: o the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part of lapses for any reason (including, without limitation, the issuance of a stop order) or is unavailable to Fusion Capital for sale of our common stock offered hereby and such lapse or unavailability continues for a period of ten (10) consecutive trading days or for more than an aggregate of thirty (30) trading days in any 365-day period; o suspension by our principal market of our common stock from trading for a period of three consecutive trading days; o the de-listing of our common stock from our principal market provided our common stock is not immediately thereafter trading on the Nasdaq Bulletin Board Exchange, the 43 Nasdaq National Market, the Nasdaq National SmallCap Market, the New York Stock Exchange or the American Stock Exchange; o the transfer agent`s failure for five trading days to issue to Fusion Capital shares of our common stock which Fusion Capital is entitled to under the common stock purchase agreement; o any material breach of the representations or warranties or covenants contained in the common stock purchase agreement or any related agreements which has or which could have a material adverse affect on us subject to a cure period of ten trading days; o a default by us of any payment obligation in excess of $1.0 million; or o any participation or threatened participation in insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings by or against us. COMMITMENT SHARES ISSUED TO FUSION CAPITAL Under the terms of the common stock purchase agreement Fusion Capital has received 1,138,733 shares of our common stock as a commitment fee. In addition, at such time as Fusion Capital has purchased $6,000,001 of our common stock under the purchase agreement, we will issue an additional 1,076,233 shares of our common stock to Fusion Capital as an additional commitment fee. Unless an event of default occurs, these shares must be held by Fusion Capital until 40 months from the date of the common stock purchase agreement or the date the common stock purchase agreement is terminated. NO VARIABLE PRICED FINANCINGS Until the termination of the common stock purchase agreement, we have agreed not to issue, or enter into any agreement with respect to the issuance of, any variably priced equity or variably priced equity-like securities unless we have obtained Fusion Capital's prior written consent. 44 SELLING STOCKHOLDERS The following table presents information regarding the selling stockholders. Neither of the selling stockholders nor any of its affiliates has held a position or office, or had any other material relationship, with us.
PERCENTAGE OF PERCENTAGE OF SHARES BENEFICIALLY OUTSTANDING SHARES OUTSTANDING SHARES SELLING OWNED BEFORE BENEFICIALLY OWNED SHARES TO BE SOLD IN BENEFICIALLY OWNED STOCKHOLDER OFFERING BEFORE OFFERING (1) THE OFFERING AFTER OFFERING ----------- -------- ------------------- ------------ -------------- Fusion Capital Fund II, LLC (1) (2) 1,138,733 2.99% 17,214,966 0% Martin J. Cohen (3) 300,000 0.79% 300,000 0%
--------------- (1) As of the date hereof, 1,138,733 shares of our common stock have been acquired by Fusion Capital under the common stock purchase agreement. Fusion Capital may acquire up to an additional 16,076,233 shares under the common stock purchase agreement. Percentage of outstanding shares is based on 38,143,097 shares of common stock outstanding as of March 31, 2003, together with such additional 16,076,233 shares of common stock that may be acquired by Fusion Capital from us under the common stock purchase agreement after the date hereof. Fusion Capital may not purchase shares of our common stock under the common stock purchase agreement if Fusion Capital, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own more than 9.9% of our common stock outstanding at the time of the purchase by Fusion Capital. However, even though Fusion Capital may not receive additional shares of our common stock in the event that the 9.9% limitation is ever reached, Fusion Capital is still obligated to pay to us $15,000 on each trading day, unless the common stock purchase agreement is suspended, an event of default occurs or the agreement is terminated. Under these circumstances, Fusion Capital would have the right to acquire additional shares in the future should its ownership subsequently become less than the 9.9%. Fusion Capital has the right at any time to sell any shares purchased under the common stock purchase agreement which would allow it to avoid the 9.9% limitation. Therefore, we do not believe that Fusion Capital will ever reach the 9.9% limitation. (2) Steven G. Martin and Joshua B. Scheinfeld, the principals of Fusion Capital, are deemed to be beneficial owners of all of the shares of common stock owned by Fusion Capital. Messrs. Martin and Scheinfeld have shared voting and disposition power over the shares being offered under this prospectus. (3) These shares were issued to Mr. Cohen in consideration of consulting services to the registrant. 45 PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION The common stock offered by this prospectus is being offered by Fusion Capital Fund II, LLC, and an additional unrelated selling stockholder. The common stock may be sold or distributed from time to time by Fusion Capital and the other selling stockholder directly to one or more purchasers or through brokers, dealers, or underwriters who may act solely as agents at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market prices, at negotiated prices, or at fixed prices, which may be changed. The sale of the common stock offered by this Prospectus may be effected in one or more of the following methods: o ordinary brokers' transactions; o transactions involving cross or block trades; o through brokers, dealers, or underwriters who may act solely as agents o "at the market" into an existing market for the common stock; o in other ways not involving market makers or established trading markets, including direct sales to purchasers or sales effected through agents; o in privately negotiated transactions; or o any combination of the foregoing. In order to comply with the securities laws of certain states, if applicable, the shares may be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in certain states, the shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and complied with. Brokers, dealers, underwriters, or agents participating in the distribution of the shares as agents may receive compensation in the form of commissions, discounts, or concessions from the selling shareholder and/or purchasers of the common stock for whom the broker-dealers may act as agent. The compensation paid to a particular broker-dealer may be less than or in excess of customary commissions. Fusion Capital is an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act. The other selling stockholder named herein may be deemed an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Neither we nor Fusion Capital nor the other selling stockholder can presently estimate the amount of compensation that any agent will receive. We know of no existing arrangements between Fusion Capital, the other selling stockholder, any other stockholder, broker, dealer, underwriter, or agent relating to the sale or distribution of the shares offered by this Prospectus. At the time a particular offer of shares is made, a prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed that will set forth the names of any agents, underwriters, or dealers and any compensation from Fusion Capital or the other selling stockholder and any other required information. We will pay all of the expenses incident to the registration, offering, and sale of the shares to the public other than commissions or discounts of underwriters, broker-dealers, or agents. We have also agreed to indemnify Fusion Capital and related persons against specified liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers, and controlling persons, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC this indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore, unenforceable. 46 Fusion Capital and its affiliates have agreed not to engage in any direct or indirect short selling or hedging of our common stock during the term of the common stock purchase agreement. We have advised Fusion Capital that while it is engaged in a distribution of the shares included in this Prospectus it is required to comply with Regulation M promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. With certain exceptions, Regulation M precludes the selling stockholder, any affiliated purchasers, and any broker-dealer or other person who participates in the distribution from bidding for or purchasing, or attempting to induce any person to bid for or purchase any security which is the subject of the distribution until the entire distribution is complete. Regulation M also prohibits any bids or purchases made in order to stabilize the price of a security in connection with the distribution of that security. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the shares offered hereby this Prospectus. This offering will terminate on the date that all shares offered by this Prospectus have been sold.

F-8 49 INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT To the Board of Directors iSECUREtrac Corp. Omaha, Nebraska We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of iSECUREtrac Corp. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2002, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards 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 in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and the significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of iSECUREtrac Corp. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2002, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 7 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and its total liabilities exceeds its total assets. This raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also discussed in Note 7. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. /s/ McGladrey & Pullen, LLP Des Moines, Iowa January 17, 2003, except for the third paragraph in Note 7 as to which that date is March 7, 2003.

See Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. F-7 ISECURETRAC CORP AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Nature of business: iSECUREtrac Corp (formerly Advanced Business Sciences, Inc.) On June 19, 2001, Advanced Business Sciences, Inc. was changed to iSecureTrac Corp. This name change was made to better reflect iST's current and future business activities of providing advanced tracking solutions for the monitoring of individuals and assets via a secure web hosted application. iST designs, develops, produces, sells, leases and supports wireless products and services relating to the tracking, monitoring, and reporting of individuals and objects. iST products are designed to enhance productivity, reduce costs, and improve overall response using on-line access to information previously maintained on a variety of media. Today, iST primarily markets to the criminal justice application for continuous electronic monitoring. iST was formed on January 5, 1992 and was engaged in the development of wireless products and services relating to tracking, monitoring and reporting of individuals and objects. The Company began generating revenue in the fourth quarter of 2002. The Company previously reported as a development stage enterprise and became operational during the fourth quarter of the year ended December 31, 2002. Significant accounting policies: Principles of consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of iST and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, iST Services, Inc., formed September 25, 2002, and ABS Nebraska, Inc., which is inactive. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Accounting estimates and assumptions: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Receivables: Receivables are carried at original invoice amount less an estimate made for doubtful receivables based on a review of all outstanding amounts on a monthly basis. Management determines the allowance for doubtful receivables by regularly evaluating individual customer receivables and considering a customer's financial condition, credit history and current economic conditions. Receivables are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of receivables previously written off are recorded when received. Inventories: Inventories consist of PTUs and parts and are recorded at the lower of cost (first in - first out method) or market. Leasehold improvements and equipment: Leasehold improvements and equipment are recorded at cost. Equipment is depreciated on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. The cost of leasehold improvements is amortized over the lesser of the estimated lives of the assets or the lease term. These assets are reviewed for impairment under SFAS No. 144 when events indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. F-8 Product development: iST capitalized software and hardware development costs in accordance with the Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 86, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed. At December 31, 2002, the majority of our capitalized costs related to the development of our web based tracking and monitoring system, known as tracNET24. Customers of iST are charged a daily usage fee. During the years ending 2002 and 2001, we capitalized $47,257 and $714,401 of product development costs, respectively. The capitalization of these costs begins when a product's technological feasibility has been established and ends when the product is available for general release to customers. iST is amortizing these costs on a straight-line basis over an estimated economic useful life of three years or on the ratio of current revenue to total projected product revenues, whichever is shorter once the product is available to customers. We began to amortize these costs in 2002. It is reasonably possible that those estimates of projected product revenues, the remaining estimated economic life of the product or both would be reduced significantly in the near term due to competitive pressures or technological changes. As a result, the carrying amount of the capitalized software and hardware costs may be reduced materially in the near term. $86,962 and $133,833 of capitalized software and hardware development costs were charged to expense in the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, due to impairment. Based upon unit sales to date, and projected sales for the future, we believe there is no impairment of product development costs. Amortization of capitalized software and hardware development costs totaled $262,384 and none for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Patents: Patents are included in other assets at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is by the straight-line method over ten years. Earnings per share: Basic Earnings Per Common Share is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted Earnings Per Common Share shall be computed by including contingently issuable shares with the weighted average shares outstanding during the period. When inclusion of the contingently issuable shares would have an antidilutive effect upon earnings per share, no diluted earnings per share shall be presented. The following contingently issuable shares were not included in diluted earnings per common share as they would have an antidilutive effect upon earnings per share: 2002 2001 Shares issuable upon conversion of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock 8,482,662 8,609,800 Shares issuable upon conversion of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock 250,050 - Common stock options outstanding 7,603,575 8,439,158 Common stock warrants outstanding 1,858,324 1,058,154 Convertible subordinated debentures 6,600 13,201 Revenue recognition: Product revenues and cost of goods sold are recognized when goods are received by the customer. Service revenues and related expenses are recognized once the service has been performed. Other revenues and directly related expenses are recognized ratably over the life of the agreement commencing when products are delivered to the customer. We bill for Personal Tracking Units (PTUs) that are sold, and recognize such revenue when goods are received by the customer. One customer, ADT Security Systems, has a 45 day acceptance clause in its contract agreement with us to accept or reject shipment. ADT Security Systems accepted all 350 units billed to them in 2002. F-9 For tracNET24 services we bill for the daily fees incurred in arrears on a monthly basis. Such revenue is recognized on the day the daily fee accrues. For our leased PTUs, we also bill on a monthly basis for the daily fees incurred in arrears. Advertising costs: Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Income taxes: Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. Stock -based compensation: At December 31, 2002, iST has various stock-based compensation plans, which are more fully described in Note 5. iST accounts for those plans under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25 (APB 25), Accounting for Stock Issued to Employee, and related interpretations, which measures compensation as the difference between the fair value of the stock at the date of award and the amount required to be paid for the stock. Stock-based compensation of $191,071 and $253,193 has been reflected in net (loss) for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The following table illustrates the effect on net (loss) for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, as if iST had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 (FAS 123), Accounting for Stock -Based Compensation, to stock-based compensation. Year Ended December 31 2002 2001 ---- ---- Net (loss), as reported $(5,793,620) $(6,184,811) Add: Stock-based employee compensation expense included in reported net (loss) 191,071 253,193 Decuct: Total stock-based employee compensation expense determined under fair value based method for all awards (377,447) (1,752,374) ------------- ------------- Pro forma net (loss) $(5,979,996) $(7,683,992) ============= ============= Basic and diluted (loss) per share: As reported $ (0.23) $ (0.29) ============= ============= Pro forma $ (0.23) $ (0.36) ============= ============= In determining the pro forma amounts above during 2002 and 2001, the value of each grant is estimated at the grant date using the fair value method prescribed in SFAS 123 with the following assumptions: no dividends, risk free interest rate of 5%; expected life of 3.5 and 5 years and; expected price volatility of 61.06% and 129.10%. The fair value of stock options and warrants issued to non-employees is being accounted for using FAS 123. Related compensation expense is charged to income when incurred. F-10 Warrants and common stock issued in consideration for notes payable and debt guarantee fees is expensed in the period incurred due to the short term nature of the related notes. Segments of business: The Company currently only has one segment line of business. New accounting pronouncements: In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 143 (SFAS 143), Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, which will be effective for iST beginning January 1, 2003. SFAS 143 addresses the financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145 (SFAS 145), Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections, which will be effective for iST beginning January 1, 2003. SFAS 145 rescinds SFAS Nos. 4, 44, 64 and amends SFAS No. 13, Accounting for Leases, to eliminate an inconsistency between the required accounting for sale-leaseback transactions and the required accounting for certain lease modifications that have economic effects that are similar to sale-leaseback transactions. In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146 (SFAS 146) Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities, which will be effective for iST beginning January 1, 2003. SFAS No. 146 requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized at fair value when the liability is incurred unless the liability is for one-time termination benefits incurred over time. SFAS 146 nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 94-3 Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (Including Costs Associated with a Restructuring). In November of 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 45 (FIN 45), Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others, which elaborates on required disclosures by a guarantor in its financial statements about obligations under certain guarantees that it has issued and clarifies the need for a guarantor to recognize, at the inception for certain guarantees, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. The provisions of this Interpretation relating to initial recognition and measurement of guarantor liabilities are effective for qualifying guarantees entered into or modified after December 31, 2002. In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 (FIN 46), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, which addresses consolidation by a business of variable interest entities in which it is the primary beneficiary. The Interpretation is effective immediately for certain disclosure requirements and variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003, and is effective fiscal 2004 for all other variable interest entities. iST has assessed the impact of SFAS Nos. 143, 145, and 146, FIN 45 and FIN 46, and estimates that the impact of these standards and interpretations will not be material to iST's financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148 (SFAS 148) Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation- Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of SFAS No. 123. SFAS 148 amended SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair F-11 value based method of accounting for employee stock-based compensation. In addition, SFAS 148 amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS 123 to require prominent disclosure in annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based compensation and its effect on reported results. The disclosure provisions of SFAS 148 are included in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. iST applies the principles of APB 25 and related interpretations in accounting for its stock-based compensation plans. See Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements. NOTE 2. LEASEHOLD IMPROVEMENTS AND EQUIPMENT Leasehold improvements and equipment at December 31, 2002, are as follows: Leasehold improvements......................................... $ 10,000 Furniture and equipment........................................ 603,219 ------- 613,219 Less accumulated depreciation.................................. 395,397 ------- $ 217,822 NOTE 3. PLEDGED ASSETS, NOTES PAYABLE AND LONG TERM DEBT AT DECEMBER 31, 2002 iST has the following notes payable and long-term debt at December 31, 2002: Notes payable:
Unsecured notes payable due to certain stockholders, principal and interest are due at maturity (January 2003 to December 2003). Interest rates are 10 %.(A)................... $960,000 Unsecured note payable due to a stockholder, principal and interest are currently due. Interest rate is prime plus 1.25% (5.50% at December 31, 2002). (A) 100,000 Note payable bank, interest is due monthly at prime (4.25% at December 31, 2002) through July 2003, when all remaining principal and interest are due. The note is secured by the personal guarantees of various stockholders.(B)..................................... 1,000,000 Note payable bank, principal and interest of 7.25% due at maturity, January 21, 2003. 98,318 Other 10,000 ------ $2,168,318 ========== Long-term debt: Note payable bank, due in monthly installments of $16,557 including interest at the Bank's prime rate plus 0.25% (4.50% at December 31, 2002) through June 2003, when all remaining principal and interest are due. The note is collateralized by substantially all the assets of the Company and the personal guarantees of various stockholders.(C) $ 403,438 10% convertible subordinated debenture, currently due, convertible into shares of common stock at $6.06 per share........................................................ 40,000 ------ 443,438 Less current maturities................................................................. 443,438 ------- $ 0 ==========
F-12 Interest expense to stockholders for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, was approximately $59,221 and $227,000, respectively. (A) Common stock warrants were issued to a majority of note holders (See Note 5). (B) Common stock warrants were issued to those stockholders guaranteeing this note (See Note 5). (C) Shares of common stock and common stock warrants were issued to those stockholders guaranteeing this note (See Note 5). The carrying value of fixed rate notes payable and long term debt approximates its fair value at December 31, 2002 due to the stockholder guarantees and the relatively short-term nature of the borrowings. NOTE 4. INCOME TAXES Net deferred taxes in the accompanying balance sheets include the following components as of December 31, 2002: Net operating loss carryforward............................... 11,975,000 Other......................................................... 10,000 ------------ 11,985,000 Valuation allowance........................................... (11,985,000) ------------ NET DEFERRED TAX ASSET..................................... $ -- ============ The income tax provision differs from the amount of income tax determined by applying the statutory federal income tax rate to pretax loss for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 due to the following:
2002 2001 ---- ---- Computed "expected" tax (benefit) ............................ $(1,946,931) $(2,043,336) Increase (decrease) in income taxes (benefits) resulting from: Benefit from state taxes ..................................

F-13 iST has net operating losses of approximately $29,936,000 to carryforward for future tax purposes that expire from 2010 to 2022. It is reasonably possible the Section 382 limitations of Internal Revenue Service regulations may limit the amount of net operating loss carryforward. Due to the uncertainty surrounding the timing of the realization of the benefit from the net operating loss carryforward, iST has recorded a valuation allowance to offset the deferred tax asset. NOTE 5. STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS Stock options In 1997 the Company issued 140,825 to former stockholders. All of these options expire no later than November 2003. As permitted under generally accepted accounting principles, these options were accounted for following APB No. 25, and accordingly, no compensation expense was recognized. In 2001 iST issued options to purchase in the aggregate of 5,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price 85% of the average daily closing price of common stock for the week prior to when the options were granted to the Chairman of the Board of Directors. The options are to vest on a monthly basis over a two year period of time which began January 1, 2001. The President was also issued options to purchase in the aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price 85% of the average daily closing price of the Company's common stock for the week prior to when the options were granted. The options are to vest on a monthly basis over a two year period of time which began February 1, 2001. Both of these option grants contain provisions that accelerate vesting if the common stock price meets various thresholds or if various working capital requirements are met. 6,000,000 options vested according to the common stock price thresholds. 91,000 and no options were exercised during the years ended 2002 and 2001. In November 2001, iST granted options to purchase in the aggregate of 600,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price 85% of the average daily closing price of the common stock for the week prior to when the options were granted to the Senior Vice President of Technology, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing, and Senior Vice President of Product and Project Development. The options are to vest on a monthly basis over a two year period of time which began November 5, 2001. In January 2002, iST granted options to purchase in the aggregate of 150,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price 85% of the average daily closing price of the common stock for the week prior to when the options were granted to the Senior Vice President Corporate Development and General Counsel. The options are to vest on a monthly basis over a two year period of time which began January 1, 2002. In June 2001, the shareholders of iST approved the 2001 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan. The 2001 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan provides for the granting of stock options and other equity incentives for up to 1,000,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock to the Company's officers, directors, consultants or advisers who provide services to the Company and key employees at an exercise price 85% of the average daily closing price of the Company's common stock for the week prior to when the options were granted. As of January 1 of each year, commencing with the year 2002, the aggregate number of options that may be awarded under the Plan will automatically increase by a number equal to the lesser of 1% of the total number of Common Shares then outstanding or 200,000. During the years ended 2002 and 2001, grants for 702,500 and 165,000 shares of Common Stock have been made, respectively. 71,250 and 45,000 of those options were made to the Company's directors or executive officers. Options exercised under the Omnibus plan during the years ended 2002 and 2001 were 13,333 and none, respectively. And options forfeited for the same time periods were 50,417 and none, respectively. As of December 31, 2002, 382,917 shares of Common Stock remain available for new option grants under this plan. The options are to vest on a monthly basis over a six month to three year period of time from the date of grant. F-14 In 1999, iST issued stock options to two key employees to purchase shares of common stock of iST (4,000,000 options and 500,000 options, respectively). The options vest ( 1/3 of the options, 1st block) beginning at the earlier of anniversary date (December 31, 1999 and July 30, 2000, respectively) or when the closing price of the common stock exceeds $3.00 per share for at least five consecutive days. The options are exercisable ($0.10 per share and $0.20 per share, respectively) for a period of three years from date of vesting. The second and third ( 1/3 blocks of options) vest one year and two years after the first block of options or when the closing price of the common stock exceeds $4.00 (2nd block of options) or $6.00 (3rd block of options) for at least five consecutive days. The options are exercisable ($0.10 per share and $0.20 per share, respectively) for a period of three years from the date of vesting. The fair value at the date of grants were $0.18 and $0.20, respectively. Of the 4,000,000 options, 1,333,333 (1st block) are vested and have been exercised as of December 31, 2002. The other blocks of options did not vest as the employee is no longer with iST. None of the 500,000 options vested as the employee was not employed as of the first anniversary date (July 30, 2000). A summary of the status of options issued to employees at December 31, 2002 and 2001, and changes during the years ended on those dates is as follows:

F-15 In addition iST issued 200,000 options in 1999 to a consultant to purchase 200,000 shares of common stock. 50,000 of the options vested on July 8, 1999, another 50,000 options vested on January 11, 2000 and the remaining 100,000 options vested on February 8, 2000. All of the 200,000 options are exercisable for a three-year period from the date of vesting.

The exercise of all options, warrants and conversion rights of Preferred Stock, if exercise, will exceed the total shares of Common Stock authorized by the Company's Certificate of Incorporation. Current executive officers have agreed to defer any exercise of stock options until after shareholder approval of an increase in authorized stock from 50,000,000 to 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock, to be voted on at the Stockholder's Meeting to be held on May 30, 2003. NOTE 6. CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK Series A Convertible Preferred Stock ------------------------------------ In an agreement, dated as of November 7, 2001, Total Tech, LLC (an entity made up of various board members and stockholders) and other Board of Director members and stockholders (collectively, the "Investors"), acquired 8,609.80 shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series A Preferred"). Each share of Series A Preferred is convertible into 1,000 shares of Common Stock, subject to adjustment for stock splits and similar events. The Series A Preferred was issued in consideration of the forgiveness of indebtedness owed to certain Investors in the aggregate of $1,497,915, the assumption of $1,000,000 in bank debt by certain investors, the cancellation of 11,071,716 stock purchase warrants held by certain Investors (having an aggregate value of $1,932,887) and the assumption by Total Tech, LLC of $4,178,989 of iST's indebtedness with financial institutions. As of December 31, 2001, $1,702,226 had been assumed by Total Tech, LLC. Subsequent to December 31, 2001, the remaining $2,476,763 of indebtedness had been transferred to Total Tech, LLC. The Board of Directors has the authority, without any further vote or action by the stockholders, to provide for the issuance of up to 1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock from time to time in one or more series with such designations, rights, preferences and limitations as the Board of Directors may determine, including the consideration received therefore. The Board also has the authority to determine the number of shares comprising each series, dividend rates, redemption provisions, liquidation preferences, sinking fund provisions, conversion rights and voting rights without approval by the holders of Common Stock. Although it is not possible to state the effect that any issuance of Preferred Stock might have on the rights of holders of Common Stock, the issuance of Preferred Stock may have one or more of the following effects (i) to restrict Common Stock dividends if Preferred Stock dividends have not been paid, (ii) to dilute the voting power and equity interest of holders of Common Stock to the extent that any Preferred Stock series has voting rights or is convertible into Common Stock or (iii) to prevent current holders of Common Stock from participating in our Company's assets upon liquidation until any liquidation preferences granted to holders of Preferred Stock are satisfied. In addition, the issuance of Preferred Stock may, under certain circumstances, have the effect of discouraging a change in control of our Company by, for example, granting voting rights to holders of Preferred Stock that require approval by the separate vote of the holders of Preferred Stock for any amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation or any reorganization, consolidation, merger or other similar transaction involving our Company. As a result, the issuance of such Preferred Stock may discourage bids for our Company's Common Stock at a F-17 premium over the market price therefore, and could have a materially adverse effect on the market value of the Common Stock. Our Board of Directors has designated 10,000 shares of our Company's Preferred Stock as "Series A Convertible Preferred Stock" (the "Series A Stock"). Each share of Series A Stock is convertible into 1,000 shares of Common Stock, subject to adjustment for stock splits and similar events. The Series A Stock has a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share (the "Stated Value") and a dividend preference equal to 9.5% per annum of the Stated Value. Dividends are payable at the option of the Board of Directors, in cash or in additional shares of Series A Stock (valued at $1,000 per share). Holders of Series A Stock have no voting rights except with respect to any action which (1) alters or changes the rights, preferences or privileges of the Series A Stock materially and adversely, (2) increases the authorized number of shares of Series A Stock, (3) creates any new class of shares having preference over or being on a parity with the Series A Stock or (4) involves sales by our Company of a substantial portion of its assets, any merger of our Company with another entity, or any amendment of our Company's certificate of incorporation. Our Company may redeem all, or any part, of the Series A Stock at any time or from time to time. The base redemption price is calculated as follows:
REDEMPTION DATE BASE REDEMPTION PRICE --------------- --------------------- If prior to September 30, 2002 103% of Stated Value If on or after September 30, 2002, but before September 30, 2003 102% of Stated Value If on or after September 30, 2003, but before September 30, 2004 101% of Stated Value After September 30, 2004 100% of Stated Value
Holders of Series A Stock have been granted certain registration rights. The Series A Stock is subject to mandatory conversion after September 30, 2004, at the election of the Board of Directors. We issued 310 Series A Convertible Preferred shares in December 2002 to one company that converted them into common shares. An additional 800 shares were converted to common shares by Total Tech, LLC, during 2002. Series A Preferred Stock holders have received payment in kind dividends during the year ended December 31, 2002, in the amount of $672,872. Series B Convertible Preferred Stock ------------------------------------ Our Board of Directors approved iST's proposed private placement offering of 3,500 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock ($0.01 par value) as described in the Offering Memorandum dated December 1, 2002. The price per Share is $1,000 and will be paid in cash by each subscriber at the time of subscription. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock being offered is convertible to 1,667 shares of Common Stock. Each share so converted would be priced at $0.60. As of December 31, 2002, 150 shares of Series B preferred stock has been issued valued at $145,000, net of offering costs of $5,000. Rights, Preferences, Privileges and Restrictions of Preferred Stock: Dividend Provisions: The holders of the Preferred will be entitled to receive cumulative, fixed-rate dividends per annum (the "Dividend Dollar Amount") at the following rates: F-18 10.0% months 1-6, 11.0% months 7-12, 12.0% months 13-24, 13.0% months 25-60. Dividends shall be payable in cash or in additional shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock at the sole discretion of the Board of Directors. If dividends are paid in Stock each share shall be valued, for this purpose, at an amount equal to the Original Purchase Price. Dividends shall be payable quarterly beginning May 31, 2003 (the "Dividend Date"). Liquidation Preference: In the event of any liquidation or winding up of the Company, the holders of Preferred will be entitled to receive in preference to the holders of Common an amount ("Liquidation Amount") equal to the Original Purchase Price plus any dividends cumulated on the Preferred but not paid. A consolidation or merger of the Company, in which the Company does not survive, or a sale of all or substantially all of its assets shall be deemed to be a liquidation or winding up for purposes of the liquidation preference. Call Provisions: At any time, and from time to time prior to the Mandatory Conversion date, the Company may call and/or retire in part or all preferred shares outstanding. If preferred shares are called prior to the Mandatory Conversion date, the following premium would apply: Prior to October 31, 2003 - 115% Prior to October 31, 2004 - 110% Prior to October 31, 2005 - 105% Mandatory Conversion: At any time, and from time to time, after October 31, 2005, all or any part of the Preferred may be converted into Common at the then applicable common stock equivalents, at the option of the Company. Anti-dilution Provisions: The Common Stock Equivalents, will be subject to adjustment to reflect any subdivisions or combinations of Common Stock. Voting Rights: The holders of Preferred shall have no voting rights, except as indicated herein Protective Provisions: Consent of the holders of at least a two-thirds majority of the Preferred will be required for any action which (i) alters or changes the rights, preferences or privileges of the Preferred materially and adversely, (ii) increases the authorized number of shares of Preferred, (iii) creates any new class of shares having preference over or being on a parity with the Preferred, or (iv) involves sale by the Company of a substantial portion of its assets, any merger of the Company with another entity, or any amendment of the Company's certificate of incorporation. Redemption: The Preferred shall not be redeemable by the holder. Preemptive Rights: If the Company at any time grants, issues or sells any options, warrants, convertible securities or rights to purchase stock pro rata to the record holders of Common, the holders of Preferred shall be granted the same rights on an as converted basis. NOTE 7. GOING CONCERN AND SUBSEQUENT EVENT The accompanying financial statements of iSECUREtrac Corp. have been prepared on a going-concern basis, which contemplates profitable operations and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. There are F-19 uncertainties that raise substantial doubt about the ability of iSECUREtrac Corp. to continue as a going concern. As shown in the statements of operations, iST has not yet achieved profitable operations. As of January 31, 2003, iST has insufficient working capital to execute its business plan. These items raise substantial doubt about the ability of the iST to continue as a going concern. Management plans to continue financing operations and development of our technology through the plan described herein. We plan to continue financing our technology and operations through external and related party financing. We are working on an additional private placement of $3,350,000 in equity financing to continue to fund the operations and production of our tracking devices and related services. We are also in the process of obtaining additional bridge financing from a financial institution to help cover some of our general operating expenses. On March 7, 2003, iSecureTrac entered into a common stock purchase agreement with Fusion Capital Fund II, LLC. Under the agreement, Fusion Capital shall buy up to $6,000,000 of iSecureTrac's common stock over a period of 30 months. The Company has the right to control the timing and the amount of common stock sold with the limit being $200,000 a month as defined in the agreement. The price per common stock is based on the trading price of the stock as defined in the agreement and is not discounted. Management has hired additional sales and sales support staff to help expand iST's sales opportunities within the United States. The addition of this sales personnel has enabled us to increase sales on an accelerated basis. iST's continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to satisfactorily meet its debt obligations, meet its product development goals, secure new financing and generate sufficient cash flows from operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from outcome of these uncertainties. NOTE 8. LEASE OBLIGATIONS The Company leases its facilities under a noncancelable lease agreement expiring November 2005. The future minimum lease payments under the operating lease as of December 31, 2002 are as follows: YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, ------------------------ 2003........................................................... 66,275 2004........................................................... 69,300 2005........................................................... 63,525 ------ $199,100 ======== Rent expense related to the above leases was $66,023 and $84,940 for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. NOTE 9. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS We are subject to pending or threatened lawsuits that are ordinary to our business. In the opinion of management, no material loss is expected from any of such pending claims or lawsuits. We are also subject to a variety of federal and state laws and regulations, especially those relating to electronic devices and wireless communications. F-20 Within the previous three years, iST was a party to two patent lawsuits with Pro Tech Monitoring, Inc. relating to the company's patent no. 6,100,806 (issued August 8, 2000) and a similar patent, no. 5,731,757 (issued on March 24, 1998), held by Pro Tech, both for the apparatus and method of GPS tracking of individuals. We claimed that our application for the "806" patent was a continuation in part of an earlier patent application, made in December, 1994, which resulted in our patent no. 6,072,396 (issued on June 6, 2000). Pro Tech claimed that the earlier patent application was technically abandoned and that its August, 1996 application was the first one made for the invention. After extensive discovery, the parties settled the case in May of 2002. In the written settlement agreement, made effective April 25, 2002, Pro Tech recognized the validity of the company's "806" patent and the company granted Pro Tech a royalty free, non-exclusive license to use such patent. The complaint and counter complaint were dismissed with prejudice. On January 2, 2002, the company filed a complaint in U.S. District Court, District of Nebraska, against LEDvision Inc., an Iowa corporation d/b/a Electronic Manufacturing Technologies (EMT), for breach of contract and trade disparagement (Case No. 8:02CV5). The complaint alleged non-delivery of manufacturing specifications and manufactured Personal Tracking Units (PTUs) in the fourth quarter of 2001, causing a delay in our customer deliveries. EMT counter-complained for breach of contract. As the lawsuit progressed, EMT closed its business and liquidated most assets. In February of 2003, the parties agreed to settle the matter on the basis of the delivery to the company of all remaining parts for the PTUs still in possession of EMT and a Note for $10,000 made by us, in favor of EMT, in March of 2001. In exchange, we will allow EMT to exercise its warrant for 25,602 shares of the company's common stock. The settlement agreement was fully executed on March 1, 2003 and, subsequently, the Court has ordered the submission of a motion for dismissal with prejudice. The exchange contemplated in the settlement agreement is currently being arranged and the case is expected to be dismissed when the exchange is completed. F-21
