RISK FACTORS
Any investment in shares of Amanda's common stock involves a high degree of
risk. You should carefully consider the following information about these
risks, together with the other information contained in this prospectus, before
you decide to buy Amanda's common stock. If any of the following risks actually
occur, Amanda's business would likely suffer. In these circumstances, the
market price of Amanda's common stock could decline, and you may lose all or
part of the money you paid to buy Amanda's common stock.
RISKS RELATING TO OUR BUSINESS:
-----------------------------------
AMANDA HAS SUSTAINED CONTINUING LOSSES MAKING IT A RISKY INVESTMENT.
Amanda's continued losses and working capital deficiency makes any
investment in Amanda at risk of being lost. Amanda incurred a loss in fiscal
2001 of $1,556,747 and a loss $2,398,189 in fiscal 2000 plus a loss of
$1,013,881 for the quarter ended December 31, 2001 and a $626,103 for December
31, 2000. Amanda does not anticipate realizing a profit during the next fiscal
year. Our September 30, 2001 consolidated financial statements highlight that
we have a working capital deficiency of $3,524,044 at September 30, 2001 and
$2,995,556 at December 31, 2001, plus recurring losses from operations raise
substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The
consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
result from the outcome of this activity.
Here is a list of some of the factors that may affect the future profitability
of our business:
- Overall economic conditions of the small and medium B2B segment;
- Fiscal health of our distribution channels;
- Competitive pricing.
AMANDA MAY NOT BE ABLE TO OBTAIN SUFFICIENT CAPITAL TO FUND OPERATIONS AND, AS A
RESULT, AMANDA WILL CUT BACK OR DISCONTINUE OPERATIONS.
Amanda will need significant additional capital in the near future and may
be unable to obtain such funding. If adequate funds are not available, we may
be required to cut back on one or more of our production locations, sales,
marketing or distribution programs or plans; or reduce operating expenses, or
attempt to obtain funds through strategic alliances that may require us to
relinquish rights to our technologies or products.
Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including:
- The progress of production of product, sales, marketing and distribution
efforts;
- The timely entrance of new integrated products to market;
- The market acceptance of our products;
- Our service capacity.
In addition, future financing may be increasingly difficult to obtain due to
such factors as our unfavorable operating history and results, the level of risk
associated with our business and business plans, increases in our vulnerability
to general economic conditions, and increased stockholder dilution. Debt
financing, if available, may have several negative effects on our future
operations, including:
- a portion of our cash flow from operations will be dedicated to payment of
principal and interest and this would reduce the funds available for operations
and capital expenditures;
- increased debt burdens will substantially increase our vulnerability to
adverse changes in general economic and competitive conditions; and
- we may be subject to restrictive debt covenants and other conditions in
our debt instruments that may limit our capital expenditures, limit our
expansion or future acquisitions, and restrict our ability to pursue our
business strategies.
COMPETITION FROM VOICE MESSAGING COMPANIES WITH SUBSTANTIALLY GREATER ASSETS MAY
LIMIT AMANDA'S ABILITY TO GROW.
Some of our competitors are:
- Cisco Systems
- Avaya
- NEC
- Voicegate
- Nortel
We will be competing for customers with other voice messaging companies,
many of which have substantially greater assets and resources than we have.
Additionally, major companies presently dominate the voice messaging industry
and have long-standing distribution and marketing relationships, which may
operate to the disadvantage of Amanda and could adversely affect our business
and future operating results.
IF AMANDA DEFAULTS IN ONE OF THE CONDITIONS TO THE DEBENTURE AGREEMENT, AT THE
NOTE HOLDER'S OPTION, THE FULL PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF THE DEBENTURE(S) TOGETHER
WITH INTEREST AND OTHER AMOUNTS OWING MAY BECOME IMMEDIATELY DUE AND PAYABLE IN
CASH. IF THIS EVENT WERE TO OCCUR, IT WOULD PROBABLY RESULT IN THE SHUT DOWN
OF AMANDA'S OPERATIONS.
Amanda would be in default if any one of the following occurs:
(i) failure in making a payment of the principal and interest;
(ii) files for bankruptcy or insolvency
(iii) defaults in any of its other debt obligations;
(iv) Amandas Common Stock shall not be eligible for quotation and
trading on the OTC Bulletin Board;
(v) Amanda sells or disposes all or in excess of 33% of its assets in
one or more transactions;
(vi) this registration statement shall not have been declared effective
by the Commission on or prior to May 9, 2002 (see exhibit 10.22).
(vii) if the effectiveness of the Underlying Shares Registration
Statement lapses;
(viii) the Company shall fail to deliver certificates to a Holder
within three days of conversion request.
We are presently in compliance with all conditions of the debenture
agreement and anticipate that we will stay in compliance with the conditions
while this prospectus is in use.
WE HAVE A "GOING-CONCERN QUALIFICATION" IN OUR CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT'S FINANCIAL
STATEMENT REPORT, WHICH MAY MAKE CAPITAL RAISING MORE DIFFICULT AND MAY REQUIRE
US TO SCALE BACK OR CEASE OPERATIONS.
The report of our auditors includes a going concern qualification which
indicates an absence of obvious or reasonably assured sources of future funding
that will be required by us to maintain ongoing operations. To date we have
successfully funded Amanda by attracting additional issues of debt. We believe
that our ongoing efforts will continue to successfully fund operations until
positive cash flow is attained. However, there is no guarantee that our efforts
will be able to attract additional necessary equity and/or debt investors. If we
are unable to obtain this additional funding, we may not be able to continue
operations. Additionally, we have a net worth deficit as of our latest balance
sheet date. This deficit indicates that we will be unable to meet our future
obligations unless additional funding sources are obtained. To date we have
been able to obtain funding and meet our obligations in a reasonably timely
manner. However, if in the future we are unsuccessful in attracting new sources
of funding then we will be unable to continue in business.
Amanda's expenses for fiscal year 2001 ran approximately $170,000 a month with
cash outflows of approximately $150,000 a month. A temporary reduction in
operations would lower the expenses, however, cash outflow would still remain
approximately $50,000 to $75,000 a month. Absent a plan to obtain the necessary
funds to maintain Amanda during a temporary shutdown, Amanda would have to
terminate all operations.
RISKS RELATING TO OUR STOCK:
THERE ARE A LARGE NUMBER OF SHARES UNDERLYING OUR CONVERTIBLE NOTES AND WARRANTS
THAT MAY BE AVAILABLE FOR FUTURE SALE AND THE SALE OF THESE SHARES MAY DEPRESS
THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK AND MAY CAUSE SUBSTANTIAL DILUTION TO OUR
EXISTING STOCKHOLDERS.
As of February 28, 2002, we had 34,921,976 shares of common stock issued
and outstanding, notes outstanding and future notes that are convertible into
98,500,000 shares of common stock at current market prices, and outstanding
warrants to purchase 3,494,339 shares of common stock. In addition, the number
of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the outstanding
convertible notes and debentures may increase if the market price of our stock
declines. All of the shares, including all of the shares issuable upon
conversion of the notes and debentures and upon exercise of our warrants, may be
sold without restriction. The sale of these shares may adversely affect the
market price of our common stock. The issuance of shares upon conversion of the
convertible notes and debentures and exercise of outstanding warrants will also
cause immediate and substantial dilution to our existing stockholders and may
make it difficult to obtain additional capital.
The following gives examples of the number of shares that would be issued
if all the debentures were converted at one time at prices representing 70%,
66.67% and 25% of the current market price (assuming a market price of $0.02):
- 70% of current stock price:
Amanda's stock converted at 70% of current stock price would result in a
debenture conversion rate of $.014 cents. To convert the $1,970,000 of
convertible debentures would require 140,714,287 shares of Amanda's common
stock, or 402% of Amanda's current outstanding shares.
- 66.67% of current stock price:
Amanda's stock converted at 66.67% of current stock price would result in a
debenture conversion rate of $.013 cents. To convert the $1,970,000 of
convertible debentures would require 151,538,462 shares of Amanda's common
stock, or 434% of Amanda's current outstanding shares.
- 25% of current stock price
Amanda's stock converted at 25% of current stock price would result in a
debenture conversion rate of $.005 cents. To convert the $ 1,970,000 of
convertible debentures would require 394,000,000 shares of Amanda's common
stock, or 1128% of Amanda's current outstanding shares.
A drop in stock price of greater than 50% would require Amanda to register more
shares to provide for the conversion of these convertible debentures.
In addition, Amanda will be issuing an additional 35,429,951 shares of common
stock to the tAA share holders pursuant to the Merger Agreement.
AMANDA'S OVERHANG AFFECT OF THE SELLING SHAREHOLDERS RESALE OF THEIR SECURITIES
ON THE MARKET COULD RESULT IN LOWER STOCK PRICES WHEN CONVERTED
Overhang can translate into a potential decrease in Amanda's market price
per share. The common stock underlying unconverted debentures represents
overhang. These debentures are converted into common stock at a discount to the
market price providing the debenture holder the ability to sell his or her stock
at or below market and still make a profit. If the share volume cannot absorb
the discounted shares, Amanda's market price per share will likely decrease. As
the market price decrease, each subsequent conversion will require a larger
quantity of shares.
Currently Amanda has reserved up to from 150% to 200% of the estimated
maximum number of shares of common stock which would be issuable upon conversion
in full of the debentures, amounting to 193,158,330 shares of authorized and
unissued common stock. These reserve amounts are our good faith estimate of the
number of shares that we believe we need to reserve. We can provide no
assurance as to how many shares we will ultimately need to issue upon the
conversion of the debentures. If we are required to issue more shares then are
currently reserved, we will be required to file an additional registration
statement for those shares.
SHORT SELLING COMMON STOCK BY WARRANT AND DEBENTURE HOLDERS MAY DRIVE DOWN THE
MARKET PRICE OF OUR STOCK.
Warrant and debenture holders may sell shares of Amanda's common stock on
the market before exercising the warrant or converting the debenture. The stock
is usually offered at or below market since the warrant and debenture holders
receive stock at a discount to market. Once the sale is completed the holders
exercise or convert a like dollar amount of shares. If the stock sale lowered
the market price, upon exercise or conversion, the holders would receive a
greater number of shares then they would have absent the short sale. This
pattern may result in the spiraling down of our stock's market price.
AMANDA'S COMMON STOCK IS SUBJECT TO THE "PENNY STOCK" RULES OF THE SEC AND THE
TRADING MARKET IN OUR SECURITIES IS LIMITED, WHICH MAKES TRANSACTIONS IN OUR
STOCK CUMBERSOME AND MAY REDUCE THE VALUE OF AN INVESTMENT IN OUR STOCK.
Our shares of Common Stock are "penny stocks" as defined in the Exchange
Act, which are traded in the over-the-counter market on the OTC Bulletin Board.
As a result, an investor may find it more difficult to dispose of or obtain
accurate quotations as to the price of the shares of the Common Stock being
registered hereby. In addition, the "penny stock" rules adopted by the
Commission under the Exchange Act subject the sale of the shares of the Common
Stock to certain regulations which impose sales practice requirements on
broker-dealers. For example, broker-dealers selling such securities must, prior
to effecting the transaction, provide their customers with a document that
discloses the risks of investing in such securities. Included in this document
are the following:
- The bid and offer price quotes for the penny stock and the number of
shares to which the quoted prices apply.
- The brokerage firm's compensation for the trade.
- The compensation received by the brokerages firm's salesperson for the
trade.
In addition, the brokerage firm must send the investor:
- Monthly account statement that gives an estimate of the value of each
penny stock in your account.
- A written statement of your financial situation and investment goals.
Legal remedies which may be available to you are as follows:
- If penny stocks are sold to you in violation of your rights listed above,
or other federal or state securities laws, you may be able to cancel your
purchase and get your money back.
- If the stocks are sold in a fraudulent manner, you may be able to sue the
persons and firms that caused the fraud for damages.
- If you have signed an arbitration agreement, however, you may have to
pursue your claim through arbitration.
If the person purchasing the securities is someone other than an accredited
investor or an established customer of the broker-dealer, the broker-dealer must
also approve the potential customer's account by obtaining information
concerning the customer's financial situation, investment experience and
investment objectives. The broker-dealer must also make a determination whether
the transaction is suitable for the customer and whether the customer has
sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be reasonably
expected to be capable of evaluating the risk of transactions in such
securities. Accordingly, the Commission's rules may limit the number of
potential purchasers of the shares of the Common Stock.
RESALE RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERRING "PENNY STOCKS" ARE SOMETIMES IMPOSED BY SOME
STATES, WHICH MAY MAKE TRANSACTIONS IN OUR STOCK CUMBERSOME AND MAY REDUCE THE
VALUE OF AN INVESTMENT IN OUR STOCK.
Various state securities laws impose restrictions on transferring "penny
stocks" and as a result, investors in the Common Stock may have their ability to
sell their shares of the Common Stock impaired. For example, the Utah
Securities Commission prohibits brokers from soliciting buyers for "penny
stocks", which makes selling them more difficult.
INFORMATION ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
-----------------------------------------------
This Prospectus contains certain forward-looking statements, which involve
substantial risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements can
generally be identified because the context of the statement includes words such
as "may," "will," "except," "anticipate," "intend," "estimate," "continue,"

Plans, Objectives, Goals, Strategies, Expectations for the future, Future
performance and events,
Underlying assumptions for all of the above and Other statements which are not

USE OF PROCEEDS
-----------------
Amanda will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the shares of
common stock offered by the selling stockholders under this prospectus. If all
warrants, being registered, to purchase the shares of common stock offered for
resale in this offering were exercised, Amanda would receive aggregate gross
proceeds of approximately $69,887. Since all the warrants are currently out of
the money, it is not anticipated that these funds will be made available anytime
in the near future.
The proceeds, if any, that Amanda receives from the exercise of
warrants will be used for working capital in support of growing the business.
The foregoing represents Amanda's current best estimate of our use of
the proceeds derived from the exercise of the warrants to purchase the shares of
common stock offered in this prospectus, if any, based upon our present plans,
the state of our business operations and current conditions in the industry in
which we operate. Amanda reserves the right to change the use of the proceeds if
unanticipated developments in our business, business opportunities, or changes
in economic, regulatory or competitive conditions, make shifts in the
allocations of proceeds necessary or desirable.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
Plan of Operation
The short-term objectives of Amanda are the following:
1. Regain profitability through product cost restructuring, pricing changes and
simplification of products.
2. Gain market share with Mini SOHO (small office, home office) and Portal
(recently launched products),
3. Develop a new product that integrates our technologies with other ready to
market technologies,
4. Reduce revenue product dependency on voice mail.
Amanda's long-term objectives are as follows:
1. Enhance revenue stream with recurring service revenues,
2. Develop products that will allow different communication devices work
together,
Over the next twelve months, Management is of the opinion that sufficient
working capital will be obtained from operations and external financing to meet
the Company's liabilities and commitments as they become payable. The Company
has in the past successfully relied on private placements of common stock
securities, bank debt, loans from private investors and the exercise of common
stock warrants in order to sustain operations. A recent financing has been
obtained and the underlying shares are being registered in this registration
statement (see "Selling shareholders" and "Recent financing" on page 27).
There is no expected or planned sale of significant equipment by the
Company. The Company's work force is expected to remain at the current level
over the next twelve months.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THE AMANDA COMPANY ONLY
THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001 COMPARED TO DECEMBER 31, 2000
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Net sales. Net sales for the three-month period ended December 31, 2001 of
$900,377 decreased $185,850 or approximately 17 % from $1,086,277 for the same
period in the prior year. The Company believes that the economic after effect
of September 11, 2001 was the main factor for the decline in revenues.
Cost of sales. Cost of sales for the three-month period ended December 31,
2001 of $488,694 decreased $187,479 or 28% from 676,173 for the same period
prior year. Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales decreased to 54% of net
sales as compared to 62% for the same period in the prior year. The decrease on
Cost of sales resulted from the increase in the shipment of higher gross profit
margin products; along with a reduction in shipping costs due to improved
inventory control and production processes.
Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and
administrative expenses for the three-month period ended December 31, 2001 of
$556,940 decreased $399,160 or approximately 42% from $956,100 for the three
month period ended December 31, 2000. The decrease is mainly due to the
reduction in salaries, payroll taxes and related employee expenses resulting
from a reduction in personnel, the relocating of operations of Pen Interconnect
to the offices of the Automatic Answer, Inc. (tAA) in Irvine, CA, and the moving
of The Automatic Answer Company's San Juan Capistrano, CA offices to Irvine, CA
thereby reducing monthly rent expense and (3) the reduction of miscellaneous
expenses as a result of the headcount reductions.
Other income and expenses: Interest expense for the quarter ended December 31,
2001 amounted to $37,860 compared to $71,494 for the same period prior year for
a decrease of $33,634. Other income the quarter ended December 31, 2001
amounted to $45,236 compared to $82,641 for the same period prior year for a
decrease of $$37,405.
Extraordinary costs. The Company recorded costs of $876,000 for the
quarter ended December 31, 2001. These costs are associated with the merger
between Pen Interconnect, Inc. and the Automatic Answer, Inc. (tAA).
Net earnings (loss) and earnings (loss) per share. Net loss for the first
fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2001 totaled ($1,013,881) compared with losses
of ($626,103), or an increase of $387,778 from the same period prior year.
THE AMANDA COMPANY PROFORMA
YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2001 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Net sales. Net sales for the Company decreased $1,024,640 to $3,990,679
for the period ending September 30, 2001 from $5,015,319 from the period ending
September 30, 2000, or approximately 20 percent. A slowdown in orders from
Amanda's distributors resulted in the reduced sales. Our distributors claim to
have experienced lower sales as a result of the economic conditions since
September.
Cost of sales. Cost of sales of $2,361,425 for the period ended September
30, 2001 decreased $862,887 from $3,224,312 or 27% from the same period prior
year. As a percentage of net sales, Cost of sales decreased to 59% of net sales
as compared to 64% for the same period in the prior year. The decrease in Cost
of sales was mainly due to the reduction in shipping costs due to improved
management of inventory purchases and shipments to customers.
Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and
administrative expenses of $3,284,560 for the period ending September 30, 2001
decreased by $655,461 from $3,940,021 or approximately 17% from the year ended
September 30, 2000. The decrease is due to (1) the reduction in the number of
employees, thereby reducing salaries, payroll taxes and other employee related
expenses; (2) a reduction in travel and entertainment expenses due to the
reduction in sales personnel, and (3) a decrease in miscellaneous expenses which
are related to the headcount reductions.
Interest expense. Interest expense of $163,013 for the period ending
September 30, 2001 decreased $281,626 from the same period prior year due to the
company's line of credit being terminated in the year ended September 30, 2000.
PEN INTERCONNECT ONLY
YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2001 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Net sales and cost of sales: There were no sales from continuing operations for
Pen Interconnect Inc., the years ended September 30, 2001 and 2000 due to its
status as a shell company. All operating divisions were disposed of during 1999
and 2000, and all operating activity was reclassified as discontinued
operations. Since March 2, 2000, the Company decided to maintain its situation
as a reporting public company, and to reduce its debt in order to make the
Company attractive to private companies that would want to use Pen to go public.
This approach was designed to maintain shareholder value.
The Company did enter into a Letter of Intent to merge with a small private
dot com company, perFORMplace.com, in the entertainment services business. A
definitive agreement was signed in late August 2000 with the intent to obtain
shareholder ratification at the next shareholders' meeting. However, on November
8, 2000, before the meeting could be held, perFORMplace.com terminated the
merger. This caused a serious drop in the Company's stock price and the need to
go back out to seek a new merger partner or acquisition.
The Company entered into an agreement to acquire shares of The Automatic
Answer, Inc., a California company on April 10, 2001.
Operating Expenses: Since the foreclosure on the assets and the sale of
its operating divisions, the operating costs of the Company have been kept to
a minimum, with two employees and limited travel and expenses. As a result,
general and administrative expenses decreased from $1,733,596 to $787,591, a net
change of 55%.
Depreciation increased $771 from 2000 to 2001. Most of the Company's
fixed assets were disposed of during 2000 and the remainder in 2001.
Interest expense decreased $315,147 during 2001, primarily due to
the foreclosure of the assets of its InCirT division, and the resulting
affect against the Company's line of credit. Interest expense of $43,048
resulted predominantly from the issuance of convertible debentures.
The Company recorded during 2001, a $320,500 loss from impairment due to
the write-off of advances made to a merger candidate in 2000. In 2001, an
additional amount of $63,000 was recognized as a loss relating to the same
event.
Other Income/Expenses: As part of the merger between the Company and tAA, the
Company made several loans to tAA in 2001 totaling $461,200. The loans were
used to fund tAA's pre-merger operations. The merger was effective October 1,
2001 and these loans will be eliminated upon the consolidations of the two
companies. The $461,2000 was expensed as acquisition expense.
The Company recorded a $135,300 loss in FY 2000 from a lawsuit brought by a
former executive of the Company.
Losses from discontinued operations decreased to $497,827 in 2000
from $5,695,148 in 1999. The Company disposed of two divisions during 1999
and the remaining two divisions early in 2000.
Losses on the disposal of the Company's two remaining operating divisions
in 2000 was $776,384.
Extraordinary Income: The Company recorded a gain from extinguishments of
debt of $149,642 in 2001 and $2,018,547 during 2000 resulting from the
conversion of vendor payables to equity.
Net Loss and Loss Per Share: Net loss and loss per share. Net losses for
the period ended September 30, 2001 of $1,294,784 decreased $596,415 or 31% from
$1,891,199 for the same period prior year. Decreased losses result from a
reduction in operating expenses as the Company sought merger candidates.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
----------------------------------
The Company's revenues have been insufficient to cover the cost of revenues
and operating expenses. Therefore, the Company has been dependent on private
placements of its common stock and issuance of convertible notes in order to
sustain operations. In addition, there can be no assurances that the proceeds
from private or other capital will continue to be available, or that revenues
will increase to meet the Company's cash needs, or that a sufficient amount of
the Company's common stock or other securities can or will be sold or that any
common stock purchase options/warrants will be exercised to fund the operating
needs of the Company.
THE AMANDA COMPANY
--------------------
DECEMBER 31, 2001
-------------------
During the first three months of FY 2001 the Company sustained losses of
$1,013,881. As a result of these losses the Company raised additional working
capital through the issuance of Convertible Debentures ($100,000) and
Convertible Promissory Notes ($450,000).
Net cash used (generated) in operating activities for the three months
ended December 30, 2001 and 2000 was $416,412 and 251,530 respectively. The
change in cash from operating activities of $164,882 was principally due to the
increase in the net loss for the 2001 first three months of $387,778, plus a
decrease in accounts payable of $251,491, a decrease in prepaid and other assets
of $104,404, a decrease in accrued expenses of $128, 864 and an increase in
accounts receivable of $184,861, offset by an increase in common stock issued
for compensation of $1,031,707 and by changes in operating assets and
liabilities.
Net cash used in investing activities was $0 and $100,020 for the three months
ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 respectively, reflecting a change of $100,020.
This change is due to no the closing of advances and the closing out of a notes
receivable.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $449,266 and $338,288 for the
three months ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively, reflecting a change
of $110,978. This increase was principally due to proceeds received from the
issuance of convertible debentures by Amanda
FISCAL YEARS ENDING SEPTEMBER 30, 2001 AND SEPTEMBER 31, 2000 - PROFORMA
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2001, the Company sustained
losses of $1,556,747. As a result of these losses the Company raised additional
working capital through the exercise of warrants ($483,861) and the issuance of
Convertible Debentures ($650,000).
THE AMANDA COMPANY (FORMERLY PEN INTERCONNECT)
---------------------------------------------------
FISCAL YEARS ENDING SEPTEMBER 30, 2001 AND SEPTEMBER 31, 2000
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Amanda had negative working capital at September 30, 2001 of $2,377,692
compared to negative working capital of $1,977,914 at September 30, 2000 for a
decrease in working capital of $399,778. The decrease is due to the raising of
additional capital through the issuance of convertible debentures which allowed
the company to have sufficient working capital to pay salaries, office rent and
other expenses while the company looked for a merger partner.
During fiscal 2001 Amanda continued to experience cash flow problems. For
most of fiscal 2000, the market price of Amanda's stock was sufficient to raise
additional funds to support the negative cash flow from operations. Amanda's
stock price has continued to decline since Amanda's securities were de-listed
from the NASDAQ National Market in March of 1999.
In March 2000, because of Amanda's inability to clear the default notice,
our bank, Finova Capital caused a pre-packaged foreclosure of all of
Amanda's assets, including the take-over of our largest division, InCirT,
which was subsequently sold to ADTI, a subsidiary of Comtel Holdings, Inc.
Since that time, Amanda has maintained its' fully reporting public status and
sought a new asset/company that would benefit from a merger with a public
company.
Additional capital infusions will be necessary if the Company is to
continue its' Operations. The investors which purchased the preferred stock in
FY99 have been willing to continue limited funding to assist the Company. There
is no guarantee that this will continue for any sustained period. If Amanda
cannot raise additional funding, Amanda will have to seek bankruptcy protection.
In February 2000, Amanda sold its' PowerStream division to Lund
Engineering or Orem, Utah for cash and notes. Lund took over the assets and debt
of PowerStream which paid off its' obligations to Finova, which also owns the
note through its' foreclosure actions.
In September 1999, Amanda completed the sale of the MotoSat division to a
company controlled by James Pendleton, Amanda's former Chairman and CEO. The
sale did not generate cash proceeds but eliminated monthly operating losses
associated with MotoSat. All assets and liabilities of the MotoSat division
were transferred to Mr. Pendleton's company in exchange for Mr. Pendleton's
agreement to waive any claim to post employment, deferred compensation or
retirement benefits. The transfer of the MotoSat division to Mr. Pendleton
resulted in a loss to the Company of approximately $68,000.

OUR BUSINESS
The Amanda Company ("Amanda") is located at 13765 Alton Parkway, phone (949)
859-6279 and is a Utah Corporation. On October 1, 2001, The Amanda Company,
formerly known as Pen Interconnect, Inc. ("Pen"), merged with The Automatic
Answer, Inc. ("tAA") and changed its name to The Amanda Company, Inc. The
transaction was accounted for as a reverse merger with tAA as the surviving
entity. Amanda, prior to the merger, was a shell company with no operations.
Amanda is a technology company with its primary focus in voice-processing.
Amanda's principal product is a voice messaging system that functions from the
client's server using software that works primarily with Microsoft's Windows
operating systems. Amanda's voicemail system uses the worldwide public switched
telephone network ("PSTN") and both Intranet and Internet computer based
technologies which allows communication content to flow through a telephone
network and the internet.
General History
----------------
In October of 1999 the Company received notice from its primary lender
(Finova) that they were placing the Company's loan in default status for
non-compliance with loan covenants as a result of one of our major customers
going into receivership and leaving Amanda with over $1.5 million in accounts
receivable and inventory. The Company was originally given until December 18,
1999 to pay off the loan balance. (Note, the balance due Finova was paid off
November 26, 2001).
In February 2000, Amanda sold its' PowersStream division to Lund Engineering
of Orem, Utah for cash and notes and used the proceeds to pay off
PowerStream's obligations to Finova.
Finova then extended the deadline to pay the default to February 28, 2000,
provided no other lending arrangements or definitive agreements to sell the
Company or any of its divisions were made. In March 2000, Finova caused a
foreclosure of all of Amanda' assets as a result of the default notice not being
satisfied, which caused Amanda to shut down operations.
In May 2001, the Company and Finova reached a settlement agreement, for
$150,000 over time in payments of $10,000, issue 250,000 shares of Amanda's
Common Stock and modify the strike price on 375,000 warrants to One Tenth of One
Cent ($0.001) in exchange of the return to the Company of certain assets which
do not have significant value as of the current date. Finova was paid off on
November 26, 2001. The expiration date for such warrants shall remain September
4, 2004
Additionally, during the last six (6) months of FY 2000, Amanda reduced its
debt through a stock for debt program with its vendors. Seventy-six (76)
percent of the vendors agreed to the program, thus reducing Amanda's outstanding
vendor debt from $3.2 million to $689,541. Amanda issued 761,747 shares of
restricted common stock pursuant to this program. In FY 2001 Amanda issued
10,178 shares of common stock to pay vendor debt of $25,390.

- Amanda voicemail software utilizing Microsoft Windows NT/XP Operating
System capable of integrating with PSTN and Internet networks. This system has
also the ability to integrate with other computer based data bases and/or

License Revenue:
-----------------
Amanda also licenses under OEM agreements its software to other
organizations. Some of those organizations are Cadcom, Cobotyx and Transtel
Communications.
Non-Amanda Products:
---------------------
Amanda also distributes third party products to its indirect distribution,
such as Amanda Mini SoHo (small office, home office), manufactured by Aleen
Technologies.
Marketing and distribution Process
-------------------------------------
Amanda currently has a network of 650 dealers that resell the Amanda line of
products to the small business market and four distribution houses strategically
located in the country serving more than 25,000 independent dealers.
Our approach to market is through indirect distribution supported by a
National Inside Sales and Technical Support Call Center located in Danbury,
Connecticut, which handles both the domestic and international markets.
Short Term Objectives
-----------------------
- Regain profitability through product cost restructuring, pricing changes
and simplification of products.
- Gain market share with Mini SOHO and Portal (recently launched products),
- Develop a new product that integrates our technologies with other ready to
market technologies,
- Reduce revenue product dependency on voice mail.
Long Term Objectives
----------------------
- Enhance revenue stream with recurring service revenues,
- Develop products that will allow different communication devices work
together.
Strategic Vision
-----------------
Key to Amanda's business in the future is the following:
- Transition of Amanda's product strength away from PBX and Key Systems that
is a declining market to products that bring together PSTN and IP network
capabilities. Amanda's Microsoft DOS based product line still has a demand for
new shipments and field replacements, which represents the bulk of Amanda sales.
However, the Amanda Portal is capable of generating new revenues as a product
that can bring together and create new applications for PSTN and IP network
capabilities.
- Sustaining and increasing our National Certified Dealer network (650 plus
dealers) and our Wholesale-Distribution (Reaching over 25,000 independent
dealers) to take our products to market.
- Entering international markets through partnerships to create high margin
opportunities while minimizing our exposure.
- Identify and distribute related products manufactured by third parties
through our current distribution network that yield profitable gross margins.
- Implement the integration of other technologies with our Amanda Portal in
order to create new need products.
Sales by Geographic Area
---------------------------
Ninety-five percent (95%) of our sales come from the domestic market and
five percent from International areas. Of the domestic market 98% of sales are
to dealers and 2% to OEM entities who utilize our software for their own brands.
35% of sales are shipped to dealers in the western states, 30% to the eastern
states, 25% to the southern states and 10% to the Great Lakes states.
Competition
-----------
There are several small businesses that provide similar products, however,
our traditional competition has been acquired by larger entities, such as,
Active Voice was acquired by Nippon Electric Corporation (NEC), Centigram was
acquired by Mitel of Canada, Octel and VMX was acquired by Avaya/Lucent/AT&T.
Other manufacturers are building voicemail capabilities internal to their
products such as Panasonic, Intertel, Mitel, etc. Other competitors are
manufacturers such as Toshiba and Cisco. Most of the large competitors target
the Fortune 1000 companies, which leaves the small to medium size business as
our main target.
Suppliers
---------
Our main suppliers are Brooktrout Technologies (voice processing cards),
BICOM, Inc. (voicemail platforms), Central Technology of Texas (PC platforms),
and Aleen Technologies (voicemail systems).
Amanda has replacement suppliers available for all supplies.

------------------------------------------------

Research and Development

Patents, Trademarks and Licenses

shareholder does not believe it is a control person as defined in the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 or is required to file a Schedule 13D.
(20) Percentages are based on 222,592,036 shares of our common stock
outstanding (includes the shares in this Offering) as of this offering.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The selling stockholders may, from time to time, sell any or all of their
shares of common stock on any stock exchange, market, or trading facility on
which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at
fixed or negotiated prices. There is no assurance that the selling stockholders
will sell any or all of the common stock in this offering. The selling
stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling
shares:
- Ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the
broker-dealer
solicits purchasers.
- Block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as
agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to
facilitate the transaction.
- Purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer
for its own account.
- An exchange distribution following the rules of the applicable exchange
- Privately negotiated transactions
- Short sales or sales of shares not previously owned by the seller
- Broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified
number of such shares at a stipulated price per share
- A combination of any such methods of sale any other lawful method
The selling stockholders may also engage in:
- Short selling against the box, which is making a short sale when the
seller already owns the shares.
- Other transactions in our securities or in derivatives of our securities
and the subsequent sale or delivery of shares by the stockholder.
- Pledging shares to their brokers under the margin provisions of customer
agreements. If a selling stockholder defaults on a margin loan, the broker may,
from time to time, offer to sell the pledged shares.
Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other
brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive
commissions or discounts from selling stockholders in amounts to be negotiated.
If any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, the
broker-dealer may receive commission from the purchaser in amounts to be
negotiated. The selling stockholders do not expect these commissions and
discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved.
The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved
in selling the shares may be considered to be "underwriters" within the meaning
of the Securities Act for such sales. An underwriter is a person who has
purchased shares from an issuer with a view towards distributing the shares to
the public. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or
agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be
considered to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.
Because the following selling shareholders are "underwriters" within the
--------------
meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act, they will be subject to the
prospectus delivery requirements:
- AMRO Int'l Inc.
- ALPHA Capital, AG.
- Stonestreet LP
- Stonestreet Corp.
- Bristol Investment Fund Ltd.
- Alexander Dunham Capital Group, Inc.
- Balmore S.A.
We are required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration
of the shares in this offering. However, we will not pay any commissions or any
other fees in connection with the resale of the common stock in this offering.
We have agreed to indemnify the selling shareholders and their officers,
directors, employees and agents, and each person who controls any selling
shareholder, in certain circumstances against certain liabilities, including
liabilities arising under the Securities Act. Each selling shareholder has
agreed to indemnify the Company and its directors and officers in certain
circumstances against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under
the Securities Act.
If we are notified by the selling stockholder that they have a material
arrangement with a broker-dealer for the resale of the common stock, then we
would be required to amend the registration statement of which this prospectus
is a part, and file a prospectus supplement to describe the agreements between
the selling stockholder and the broker-dealer.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
Board of Directors
Pen Interconnect, Inc.
Irvine, California
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Pen Interconnect, Inc., a
Utah Corporation, as of September 30, 2001 and 2000, and the related statements
of operations, stockholders' deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the management of Pen
Interconnect, Inc. 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
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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Pen Interconnect, Inc. as of
September 30, 2001 and 2000, and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the
financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations.
The Company has a stockholders' deficit of ($2,313,110) and ($1,977,041) and its
current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $817,888 and $972,729 as of
September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. These factors, among others, as
discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, raise substantial doubt about
the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in
regards to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements
do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.

1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Organization
Pen Interconnect, Inc. ("the Company" or "Pen") was incorporated on September
30, 1985, in the State of Utah. Through March 3, 2000, the date of foreclosure
of its last operating division, the Company was a total interconnection solution
provider offering custom design and manufacturing of circuit boards, battery
chargers, power supplies and uninterrupted power supply systems for original
equipment manufacturers. Most of the Company's sales, before the closure of its
operating divisions, consisted of printed circuit boards.
The Company experienced severe cash flow problems for several years and in an
attempt to satisfy the demands of its creditors, sold three of its operating
divisions, noted as follows:
DIVISION NAME DATE SOLD
--------------- ----------
Cable Davison January 31, 1999
--------------- ------------------
MOTO-SAT September 30, 1999
Powerstream January 21, 2000
On March 3, 2000 the Company and its secured asset based lender, Finova Capital,
entered into a voluntary foreclosure in which all the assets in the Company's
last remaining division, InCirt, was transferred to Finova to satisfy the
revolving credit and term loans held by the bank In a subsequent agreement,
dated May 31, 2001 Finova Capital and Pen Interconnect agreed to a final
settlement of all claims between them.
During the second quarter of FY2000, the Company announced a change in its
strategic direction and began seeking merger candidates with new technologies.
On March 29, 2000, the Company announced the signing of a letter of intent to
acquire perFORMplace.com, a privately held Internet provider of electronic
business-to-business services to the entertainment industry. On November 11,
2000, perFORMplace.com informed the Company that it had decided not to pursue
the merger.
The Company subsequently signed a merger agreement with the The Automatic
Answer, Inc. ("tAA"). tAA, a distributor of voice mail systems, has developed a
client service based software products that are used in a Microsoft Window's
environment. The Company's products include voice mail, automated attendant,
call control, messaging and voice over Internet. The merger with tAA was
effective October 1, 2001.
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements include the corporate operations of Pen Interconnect as
continuing operations. All the remaining activity from the Company's prior
operating divisions, including Cable, MOTO SAT, Powerstream and InCirt have been
disclosed as discontinued operations in the financial statements for the years
ended September 30, 2000 and 2001. During 2001, activity from discontinued
operations was limited to the settlement of accounts payable.
The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements
1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (CONTINUED)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Basis of Presentation (continued)
Transactions related to the October 1, 2001 merger with tAA consist solely of
advances from the Company to tAA to cover tAA's operating expenses during the
pre-merger period. These advances have been expensed as acquisition expense.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments
The Company considers cash on hand, cash in banks, certificates of deposits and
time deposits with original maturities of three months or less when purchased as
cash equivalents. Short-term investments are investments with original maturity
greater than ninety days and less than one year.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for additions and
major improvements are capitalized. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance
and minor improvements are charged to expense as incurred. Gains or losses from
retirements and disposals are recorded as other income or expense.
Property and equipment are depreciated over their estimated useful lives.
Leasehold improvements and assets financed under capital leases are amortized
over their estimated useful lives or the lease term, whichever is shorter.
Depreciation and amortization are calculated using straight-line and accelerated
methods over the following estimated useful lives:
Years
-------
Production equipment 5-6
Furniture and fixtures 10
Transportation equipment 10
Leasehold improvements 5
The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements
1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (CONTINUED)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
INCOME TAXES
The Company utilizes the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under
the liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based
on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and
liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be
in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. An allowance against
deferred tax assets is recorded when it is more likely than not that such tax
benefits will not be realized.
Financial Instruments
Cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts payable, and accrued liabilities
are reflected in the financial statements at cost that approximates fair value.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation plan based on Accounting
Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25. In October 1995, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation." The Company has determined that it will not change
to the fair value method and will continue to use APB Opinion No. 25 for
measurement and recognition of any expense related to employee stock based
transactions.
In March 2000, the FASB released Interpretation No.44, " Accounting for Certain
Transactions Involving Stock Compensation." This Interpretation addresses
certain practice issues related to APE Opinion No.25. The provisions of this
Interpretation are effective July 1, 2000, and except for specific transactions
noted in paragraphs 94-96 of this Interpretation, shall be applied prospectively
to new awards, exchanges of awards in business combinations, modifications to an
outstanding award, and exchanges in grantee status that occur on or after that
date.
Certain events and practices covered in this Interpretation have different
application dates, and events that occur after an application date but prior to
July 1, 2000, shall be recognized only on a prospective basis. Accordingly, no
adjustment shall be made upon initial application of the Interpretation to
financial statements for periods prior to July 1, 2000. Thus, any compensation
cost measured upon initial application of this Interpretation that is attributed
to periods prior to July 1, 2000 shall not be recognized. The Company has
adopted the provisions of this Interpretation starting July 1,2000.
The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements
1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (CONTINUED)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Comprehensive Income
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130,
"Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS 130") which establishes standards for
reporting and display of changes in equity from non-owner sources in the
financial statements. The Company does not have any components of comprehensive
income in 2001 or 2000.
Valuation of Long-lived Assets
The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets to be
held and used, including intangible assets, when events and circumstances
warrant such a review. The carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered
impaired when the anticipated discounted cash flow from such asset is separately
identifiable and is less than its carrying value. In that event, a loss is
recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair
market value of the long-lived asset. Fair market value is determined primarily
using the anticipated cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk
involved. Losses on long-lived assets to be disposed of are determined in a
similar manner, except that fair market values are reduced for the cost to
dispose.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
SFAS No. 107, "Disclosure About Fair Value of Financial Instruments," requires
certain disclosures regarding the fair value of financial instruments. Cash and
cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities
are reflected in the financial statements at fair value because of the
short-term maturity of these instruments. Because of the unique aspects of the
subordinated debentures and long-term debt, fair values cannot readily be
determined.
Revenue Recognition
Sales are generally recorded when products are shipped or when services are
rendered.
Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America necessarily
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include
allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory obsolescence, estimated lives for
fixed assets, goodwill and intangibles, the liabilities posed by lawsuits and
collection of contingent assets. Actual results could differ from these
estimates.
The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements
1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (CONTINUED)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Advertising
The Company did not incur any significant amount of advertising expenses.
Earnings per share
Basic earnings per common share are computed using the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted earnings per common share incorporate the incremental shares issuable
upon the assumed exercise of stock options and warrants.
Certain of The Company's stock options were excluded from the calculation of
diluted earnings per share because they were antidilutive, but these options
could be dilutive in the future.
Segment and geographic information
----------------------------------
The Company has adopted SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information." SFAS 131 requires enterprises to report
information about operating segments in annual financial statements and selected
information about reportable segments in interim financial reports issued to
shareholders, on the basis that is used internally for evaluating segment
performance and deciding how to allocate resources to segments. It also
established standards for related disclosures about products and services,
geographic areas and major customers. Segment disclosures have been provided
for discontinued operations.
RECENT PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (FASB) issued
Statement No. 133, "Accounting for the Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities". The Statement will require The Company to recognize all
derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. This statement is effective for
fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000, and has been adopted by The Company
for the years ending September 30, 2001 and 2000. The management does not
anticipate that the adoption of the new Statement will have a significant effect
on The Company's revenues and earnings, as The Company currently does not have
any derivative instruments.
The FASB issued SFAS No. 131 on "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and
Related Information" effective in 1998. The Company evaluated SFAS No. 131 and
determined that the Company operates in only one segment.
The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements
1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (CONTINUED)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statements of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, "Business Combinations" ("FAS 141") and
No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("FAS 142"). SFAS No. 141
requires all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 to be accounted
for using the purchase method. Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill and intangible
assets with indefinite lives are no longer amortized but instead tested for
impairment at least annually in accordance with the provisions of FAS No. 142.
FAS No. 142 will also require that intangible assets with definite lives be
amortized over their respective useful lives to their estimated residual values,
and reviewed for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of."
The provisions of this Statement are required to be applied starting with fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2001. The Company will continue to amortize
goodwill existing at September 30, 2001 until the new standard is adopted and
test goodwill for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 121. The Company is
currently evaluating the effect that adoption of the provisions of FAS No. 142
will have on its results of operations and financial position.
In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement
Obligations." SFAS No. 143 requires liability recognition for obligations
associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived asset and the associated
asset retirement costs. The Statement is effective for financial statements
issued for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002 with earlier application
encouraged. The implementation of SFAS No. 143 will not have a material affect
on the Company's results of operations or financial position.
In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAFS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." SFAS No. 144 supersedes SFAS No. 121,
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to
Be Disposed of", in that it removes goodwill from its impairment scope and
allows for different approaches in cash flow estimation. However, SFAS No. 144
retains the fundamental provisions of SFAS No. 121 for (a) recognition and
measurement of long-lived assets to be held and used and (b) measurement of
long-lived assets to be disposed of. SFAS No. 144 also supersedes the business
segment concept in APB opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of
Operations-Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and
Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions," in
that it permits presentation of a component of an entity, whether classified as
held for sale or disposed of, as a discontinued operation. However, SFAS No.
144 retains the requirement of APB Opinion No. 30 to report discontinued
operations separately from continuing operations. The provisions of this
Statement are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2001 with earlier application encouraged.
Implementation of SFAS No. 144 will not have a material effect on the Company's
results of operations or financial position.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2000 financial statements to
conform to the 2001 presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on net
income as previously reported.
The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements
2. FINANCIAL RESULTS AND LIQUIDITY
----------------------------------
The Company has incurred net losses of $1,294,784, $1,891,199, in 2001 and 2000,
respectively. In addition, the Company has a stockholders' deficit of
$2,313,110 and $1,977,041 and a working capital deficit of $817,888 and $972,729
as of September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. These factors, among others,
raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern.
The Company's operations, including its combined operations with tAA once the
merger becomes effective, continue to generate operating losses and to use
rather than provide cash flow. The Company has issued common stock, preferred
stock, debentures and convertible debt in exchange for cash and services to
provide the necessary resources and working capital to help meet its strategic
goals and to meet its current obligations.
While the Company continues to seek additional equity capital, there can be
no assurance that The Company will be successful. Without an infusion of
sufficient additional capital, the Company will not be able to continue as a
going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that
might be necessary should The Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
3. DISPOSITION OF OPERATING DIVISIONS
-------------------------------------
CABLE DIVISION
Effective January 31, 1999, the Company sold substantially all of the assets and
certain of the liabilities of its Cable Division to Cables To Go, Inc (CTG).
Net assets of $2,732,059 were sold for $1,075,000 in cash and a royalty payment
contingent upon the future revenues of the Cable Division. $150,000 of the
royalty payment was guaranteed and has been recorded by the Company as a note
receivable from CTG. CTG agreed to use and compensate the Company for an
additional $558,747 of the net assets contingent upon certain of its future
operating needs. The Company originally recorded a loss of $948,312 upon
disposition of the Cable Division but has adjusted the loss to $1,507,059 based
on its determination that CTG will not use nor compensate the Company for the
additional $558,747 of net assets.
MOTO-SAT DIVISION
Effective September 30, 1999, the Company sold substantially all of the assets
and liabilities of its MOTO-SAT Division to James Pendleton, the Company's
former CEO and Chairman. The net assets of $68,438 were sold in exchange for
Mr. Pendleton's agreement to waive any claim to post-employment, deferred
compensation, or retirement benefits. The Company recognized a loss of $68,438
upon disposition of the MOTO-SAT Division.
The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements.
3. DISPOSITION OF OPERATING DIVISIONS (CONTINUED)
--------------------------------------------------
POWERSTREAM DIVISION
Effective January 21, 2000, the Company sold substantially all of the assets and
liabilities of its Powerstream Division to Lund Instrument Engineering, Inc.
The net assets of $ (110,954) were sold for cash of $75,689 plus a royalties
ranging from 8% to 16% of the gross profits generated by the sale of certain
products for a period of three years subsequent to the sale subject to certain
adjustments. The Company recognized a gain of $186,643 upon the disposition of
the PowerStream division. Cash proceeds were used to pay down a note due to a
secured lender.
InCirt Division
The Company had been operating under a default notice with its asset-based
lender, Finova Capital, since September 1999, when the Company began seeking
buyers for its two remaining divisions PowerStream and InCirT. In February of
2000, a Letter of Intent to sell the InCirT division to another contract
manufacturer was terminated. The Company then solicited a competitor to
purchase most of the assets and to negotiate a supplier agreement with the
Company's largest account as part of a voluntary foreclosure of all the
remaining assets of the Company, for which Finova had a perfected security
interest. The Company recognized a loss of $963,027 during 2000 resulting from
the foreclosure of the InCirT division.
4. CONCENTRATIONS
--------------
Financial instruments that potentially subject The Company to concentration of
credit risk include cash deposits in excess of FDIC limits and short-term
investments. The Company restricts investment of cash balances to financial
institutions with high credit standing.
5. INVESTMENT IN TAA
-------------------
The Company concluded a merger agreement with The Automatic Answer, Inc. (tAA),
a distributor of voice mail systems and other telephone products, on April 13,
2001. Under the agreement, the Company will give up sixty-seven percent (67%)
of its shares to acquire tAA subject to the adjustment, noted below. Certain of
tAA's debt holders are to convert their outstanding notes to a new class of
preferred shares within 120 days after the close of the transaction.
The number of shares that the Company will give to tAA will be adjusted if the
average closing price of the Company's stock, in the aggregate, for the 60 days
after the close of the transaction, falls below $10,000,000.
The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements
5. INVESTMENT IN TAA (CONTINUED)
--------------------------------
As part of the transaction, the Company made several loans to tAA totaling
$461,200. The loans were used to fund tAA's pre-merger cash flow.
The merger was effective October 1, 2001 and these loans are eliminated upon the
consolidation of the two companies. These financial statements classify the
$461,200 as acquisition expenses. The transaction will be accounted for as a
reverse merger with tAA as the surviving entity. Pen shareholders will retain
approximately 7% of the merged company.
6. FORECLOSURE
-----------
The Company entered into a financing agreement with a bank for $6,300,000. The
agreement consisted of a $5,000,000 revolving credit line and two term loans for
$800,000 and $500,000. Under the loan agreements for these loans, the Company
was required to meet certain financial ratios and specific minimum levels of
earnings and net worth. The loan agreements also restricted employee advances,
capital expenditures, compensation, and additional indebtedness; and restricted
the payment of dividends. The Company had borrowed $4,436,562 under the line of
credit at September 30, 1999. At times, including at September 30, 1999, the
Company had been in violation of certain of the covenants of this credit
facility. The Company operated under a forbearance agreement during all of
fiscal 1999.
As of September 30, 1999, the Company had not received a waiver from the lender
and all obligations under this credit facility were payable on demand of the
lender and were classified as current liabilities in the balance sheet.
Subsequent to September 30, 1999, the lender declared the loan agreement in
default.
The Company continued operating under a default notice with its Lender as it
disposed of its remaining operating divisions. Finova and the Company agreed to
a voluntary foreclosure of all the remaining assets of the Company, for which
Finova had a perfected security interest. The Company's September 30, 2000
balance sheet reflects the transfer of all collateral assets to Finova and the
Company recognized an equal offset of the bank's line of credit balance and term
loans owed by the Company. The Company recorded a loss on transfer of assets of
$900,000.
During 2001, the Company negotiated an agreement with the Lender, which resulted
in the complete satisfaction of all the debt with the Lender in exchange for
$150,000, of which $40,000 remains unpaid as of September 30, 2001. The
agreement also includes the issuance of 250,000 additional share of common
stock, the repricing of 350,000 warrants from $1.00 to $.001, and the issuance
of an additional 150,000 warrants at $.001.
Finova also transferred back to the Company rights to recover certain assets
owned by the Company prior to the foreclosure. These assets, which have an
estimated original book value of $800,000, have been fully reserved as of
September 30, 2001.

7. LONG LIVED ASSETS
-------------------
On an ongoing basis, management reviews the valuation of long-lived assets,
including intangible assets, to determine possible impairment by comparing the
carrying value to the undiscounted estimated future cash flows of the related
assets and necessary adjustments, if any, are recorded. Based upon operating
losses from certain divisions, continued cash flow problems and managements
decision to negotiate the sale of other divisions, the Company reduced the
carrying costs of certain of its long-lived assets by $320,500 in 2000 to
better reflect management's current expectations for the realization of these
assets. The adjustments relate to assets of the Company's various discontinued
divisions and to assets from continuing operations.
During 2001, the Company decided to fully reserve the balance of amounts due
from perFORMplace.com. The Company had signed a Letter of Intent with
perFormplace.com during April 2000 providing for a reverse merger of the two
companies. On November 8, 2000, perFormplace.com terminated the agreement.
The following is a summary of the assets charged-off to impairment for the years

11. CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES
-----------------------
During 2001, the Company issued $800,000 in new one-year convertible debentures
with interest rates ranging from 7% to 8%, payable quarterly. These debentures
are convertible in the Company's common stock at the lower of $.04 or 70% of the

date of issuance.
In August 2000, the Company entered into a convertible debenture agreement for
$600,000 in exchange for 4,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock. The
convertible debenture has an interest rate of 7% per annum. The debenture is
convertible into common stock at the lesser of $0.15 per share or 70% of market
price on the conversion date.
12. STOCK HOLDERS' EQUITY
-----------------------
Preferred Stock Dividends in Arrears Deferred
Payments of annual dividends for 2001 and 2000 were deferred by the Company's
board of directors on the outstanding preferred stocks because of losses
sustained by the Company. As of September 30, 2001, preferred dividends in
arrears amounted to $480,323 on the Preferred Stock Series A and B.
Conversion of Convertible Preferred Stock - Series A
In 2000, the Company converted 1,670 shares of Preferred Stock Series A into
9,057,654 shares of common stock, and the Company converted $64,581 of dividends
payable on these share shares of Preferred Stock into 349,323 shares of common
stock. During 2001, the Company redeemed 39 shares of Preferred Stock Series A
for 1,667,039 shares of common stock.
Conversion of Convertible Preferred Stock - Series B
In 2000, the Company converted 74 shares of Preferred Stock Series B into
411,112 shares of common stock. During 2001, the Company redeemed 40 shares of
Preferred Stock Series B stock for 1,617,648 shares of common stock.
Conversion of Preferred Stock - Series A Warrants
In 2000, the Company converted warrants to purchase shares of Preferred Stock
Series A into 315,000 shares of common stock in a cashless exercise, and the
Company recorded an expense of $86,941 based on the fair value of the common
stock on the date of conversion. During 2001, an additional 13,121,201 shares
were issued in exchange of warrants at prices that ranged from $0.02 to $0.063.
An additional 3,327,050 warrants were converted in lieu of payments for services
rendered.
Repricing of Stock Options
In order to continue to attract and retain employees, the Board of Directors
authorized the repricing of options and warrants to purchase shares of common
stock effective March 2000, to the then fair market value of $0.30 per share.
All repriced options maintained the same expiration terms. Approximately
1,240,000 options and warrants were repriced under this program. The repricing
included members of the Board of Directors and executive officers.
The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements
12. STOCK HOLDERS' EQUITY (CONTINUED)
------------------------------------
WARRANTS ACTIVITY FOR THE PERIOD
During the year ended September 30, 2001, the Board of Directors approved the
issuance of warrants to purchase an aggregate of 21,754,251 shares of the
Company's common stock. Such warrants are exercisable at prices ranging from
$0.02 to $0.10 per share, vest immediately, and expire at various times through
December 2004.
In order to continue to meet operating cash flow requirements, and to attract
and retain employees and consultants, the Board of Directors authorized the
repricing of options and/or warrants to purchase shares of common stock in
November 2000, February, 2001, March 2001 and June 2001, to the then fair market
value, which ranged from $0.25 to $0.06 per share. Approximately 14 million
options/warrants were repriced under this program. The repricing included
approximately 2.6 million options and warrants granted to members of the Board
of Directors and executive officers. The repricing of options/warrants resulted
in warrants/options being exercised for approximately 11.7 million shares of
common stock.
In September 2001, the Board of Directors authorized the repricing and the
extended the expiration date of the public warrants to purchase shares of common
stock to be effective November 2001. The price per share was repriced to $0.20,
(the per share price has to be at a minimum of $0.24 for 15 days prior to
conversion), from $6.50 per share and the expiration date was extended by one
year (warrants will expire in November 2002. Approximately 2.8 million warrants
were repriced under this program.
Included in the issuance of warrants to purchase 14 million aggregate shares of
the Company's common stock are warrants that were issued to individuals under
terms of a consulting agreement during the years ended September 30, 2001 and
2000. Such issuances were accounted for under Financial Accounting Standards
Board Statement No. 123 using primarily the Black-Scholes option pricing model,
which resulted in the recording of compensation cost during the years ended
September 30, 2001 and 2000 (see note 14).
Grant of Equity Interest in Full Settlement of Trade Payable and Troubled Debt
Due to significant cash flow problems, in April 2000 the Company commenced on a
program to reach agreements with its vendors to grant shares of its common stock
to the vendors in full settlement of the amounts due the vendors. At the date
of issuance of the shares, the amounts due vendors exceeded the fair market
value of the common stock issued by $1,988,218, which is classified in the
statement of operations as an extraordinary gain due to the extingushment of
debt. As of September 30, 2000, the Company has issued 1,061,747 shares of its
common stock under this program. An additional 760,178 shares were issued as
settlement of debt during 2001.
The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements
13. PREFERRED STOCK
----------------
The Company issued two series of Preferred Stock. Series A was issued in
February 1999 consisting of 1,800 shares, par value $0.01 per share, for $1,000
per share. Series B was issued in April 1999 at the same price but only 1,000
shares were issued. As mentioned in Note C, part of the funds raised from the
issuance of this stock were used to repay the bridge loans made earlier in the
fiscal year. After repayment of the bridge loans and paying $238,500 in fees
and expenses, the net cash raised by the Company for operations was $1,665,500.
Both series of Preferred Stock carry a 16 percent dividend rate, which is paid
quarterly.
Both issuances of Preferred Stock are convertible into shares of the
Company's Common Stock. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible
into an amount of shares of Pen Common Stock equal to $1,000 divided by the
average of the two lowest closing bid prices for Pen Common Stock during the
period of 22 consecutive trading days ending with the last trading day before
the date of conversion, after discounting that market price by 15 percent (the
"Conversion Price"). During the first six months, the Board of Directors
approved a reduction of the maximum Conversion Price for the Series A Preferred
Stock and Series B Preferred Stock to $.53 from $1.17 and $.79 per share
respectively. The reduction was granted to obtain a waiver in relation to the
sale of a major asset - InCirT Technologies Division. The shares of Series B
Preferred Stock are convertible into Common Stock at the same Conversion Price
as the Series A Preferred Stock. Warrants to acquire 335,453 shares of Common
Stock at conversion prices ranging from $0.86 to $1.434 per share were also
issued to the purchasers of the Series A and Series B Preferred Stock. The
warrants expire three years from date the Preferred Stock and warrants were
initially issued.
CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES
On October 22, 1997, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the issuance
of up to $1,500,000 of 3 percent convertible Debentures with a maximum term of
24 months. On June 16, 1998, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the
issuance of up to $1,000,000 of additional three percent convertible debentures
with a maximum term of 24 months. The convertible debentures (the "Debentures")
mature, unless earlier converted by the holders, into shares of common stock of
the Company. The Company filed a registration statement with the United States
Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to the common stock of the
Company into which the Debentures may be converted.
The Debentures were convertible by the holders thereof into the number of shares
of common stock equal to the face amount of the Debentures being converted
divided by the lesser of (i) eighty percent (80 percent) of the closing bid
price of the Company's common stock as reported on the NASDAQ Small Cap market
on the day of conversion, or (ii) $2.75. The Debentures could be converted in
three equal installments beginning on the earlier of (i) the 75th day of their
issuance, and continuing through the 135th day of their issuance, or (ii) the
day following the effective date of the Registration Statement, through the 60th
day following the effective date of the Registration Statement. The Company
could cause the Debentures to be converted into shares of common stock after the
110th day following the effective date of the Registration Statement, if the
common stock traded at or above $5.50 per share for 20 consecutive days.
13. PREFERRED STOCK (CONTINUED)
-----------------------------
CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES (CONTINUED)
As of September 30, 1998, the Company had issued all $2,500,000 of these
convertible Debentures and $1,000,000 had been converted to 689,332 shares of
common stock. As of September 30, 1999, the remaining $1,500,000 of convertible
Debentures had been converted into 2,092,671 shares of common stock.
Because of the favorable conversion feature of the Debentures, the Company has
recognized interest expense relating to the price below market at which the
Debentures can be converted into common shares of stock. The interest is
initially set up as a deferred charge against the subordinated debenture balance
with an offset to additional paid-in capital. The deferred interest is
amortized over a period corresponding to time restrictions as to when the
Debentures can be converted into stock. The resulting charge to interest
expense increases the effective interest rate of the Debentures. Deferred
interest expense of $250,032 was recorded on the $1,000,000 in Debenture issue
relative to the favorable conversion feature and was amortized over four months
and charged to interest expense. Amortization of the $250,032 deferred charge
totaled $98,571 in fiscal 1999 ($151,461 in fiscal 1998). This interest along
with the stated 3 percent interest rate in the Debentures results in an inherent
interest rate of 31 percent.
In connection with the $1,500,000 Debenture issue, the Company recorded $389,591
of deferred interest expense related to the beneficial conversion feature. The
entire deferred charge was amortized and charged to interest expense as of
September 30, 1998. This interest when added to the stated 3 percent interest
rate of the Debenture results in an inherent interest rate of 28 percent.
14. STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS
-----------------------------
The Company has a Stock Option Plan (the Plan). The Plan provides for the
granting of both Incentive Stock Options (ISOs) and Non-qualified Stock Options
(NSOs) to purchase shares of common stock. ISOs are granted at not less than
market value on the date of grant, whereas NSOs may be granted at not less than
85 percent of the market value on the date of the grant. Options may be granted
under the Plan to all officers, directors, and employees of the Company. In
addition, NSOs may be granted to other parties who perform services for the
Company. The Board of Directors has granted management the authority to issue
non-statutory stock options and/or warrants to employees and consultants of the
Company.
As of September 30, 2001 and 2000, the Company granted to its employees and
other eligible participants options and warrants exercisable for the Company's
common stock and preferred stock. Options and warrants to purchase shares of
its common stock are usually granted at the prices equal to the current fair
value of the Company's common stock at the date of grant.
Under the Plan, no option may be exercised after the expiration date of ten
years from the date of grant. As of September 30, 2000, there are two types of
convertible securities (NSOs and Warrants) outstanding.
NSOs may be granted to any eligible participant as determined by the management
of the Company.

Under APB-25, the cost of compensation is measured by the excess of the fair
market price of the stock over the option exercise price on the measurement
date. This is referred to as the intrinsic value method. Accordingly, the
Company recorded compensation expense of $163,765 and $339,822 for options and
warrants granted for the years ended September 30, 2001 and 2000.

The exercises period for the options ranges from immediate to four years from
the date of the grant and have various vesting requirements.
The Company has adopted only the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123. It
applies APB Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations in accounting for its
stock options and warrants granted to employees or to members of the Company's
Board of Directors. Pursuant to FASB Interpretation No. 44, the Company applies
provisions of SFAS No. 123 for options and warrants granted to third parties.
Accordingly, in 2000, compensation cost has been recognized for its stock
options and warrants granted to outside third parties subsequent to June 30,
2000. This information is required to be determined as if the Company had
accounted for its employee stock options/warrants granted subsequent to December
31, 1994, under the fair value method of that statement. If the Company had
elected to recognize compensation expense based upon the fair value at the grant
date for awards under this plan consistent with the methodology prescribed by
SFAS No. 123, the Company's net loss and loss per share would be reduced to the
pro forma amounts indicated below for the years ended September 30:

14. STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS (CONTINUED)
------------------------------------------
Options/warrants are granted at prices equal to the current fair value of the
Company's common stock at the date of grant. All options and warrants granted
during fiscal year 2000 vest immediately.
The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements
The fair value of these options was estimated at the date of grant using the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average
assumptions: 2000: dividend yield of 0%; expected volatility of 200%; risk-free
interest rate of 5.6%, and expected life of 2 to 5 years; 2001: dividend yield
of 0%; expected volatility of 300%; risk-free interest rate of 5.8%, and
expected life equal to the actual life for the period. The weighted-average
fair value of options and warrants granted were $0.02 and $0.06 for 2001, and
$0.25 and $0.33 for 2000.
The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the
fair value of traded options, which have no vesting restrictions and are fully
transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly
subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because
the Company's employee stock options have characteristics significantly
different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective
input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's
opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single
measure of the fair value of its stock options.
15. EARNINGS PER SHARE

The number of weighted common shares outstanding used in the loss per share

EPS because to do so would have been anti-dilutive.

The Company sustained net operating losses in each of the periods presented.
For 2001 and 2000, there were no deferred tax assets or income tax benefits
recorded in the financial statements for net deductible temporary differences or
net operating loss carryforwards because the likelihood of realization of the
related tax benefits cannot be fully established. A valuation allowance of
$8,479,269 has been recorded in 2001 ($8,091,634 in 2000) to reduce the net
deferred tax assets to their estimated net realizable value.

16. INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED)
--------------------------
As of September 30, 2001, the Company as net operating loss carryforwards for
tax reporting purposes of approximately $17,315,000 expiring in various years
through 2020. The merger with tAA results in a greater than 50% change in
ownership and represents a different line of business. This severely restricts
the use of these loss carryforwards.
17. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
-------------------------------
Litigation
From time to time, the Company is engaged in various lawsuits or disputes as
plaintiff or defendant arising in the normal course of business.
Following are the matters pending as of September 31, 2001:
1) On October 28, 1999 Color Savvy Systems, Ltd. filed suit to recover
$165,750 in past due uncontested vendor obligations. On February 16, 2000,
Color Savvy obtained a judgment against the Company for $165,783.
2) Sony Recording Media Products obtained a judgment against the Company for
$35,086 plus interest during 2001. The Company has been making monthly payments
of $5,000 per month against the outstanding balance.
3) On November 15, 2000 Alan L. Weaver, former CEO of Pen Interconnect,
Inc., obtained a judgment against the Company in the amount of $118,500 plus
interest for breach of a settlement agreement relative to Mr. Weaver's
employment agreement with the Company. The Company is currently negotiating a
payment plan with the former CEO.
4) The Company is in discussion with Wayne Wright, the prior CFO of the
Company, regarding a claim the CFO has regarding the value of certain stock
given to him as part a settlement of his employment agreement. The resolution
of amounts due under this potential claim is not currently determinable.
Capitalized Leases
Subsequent to the cessation of manufacturing operations in March 2000, various
lessors foreclosed upon capitalized lease equipment and the equipment was
returned to the lessors. At the beginning of the fiscal year, October 1999
future lease payments were $558,492. The Company had made certain payments
prior to default. The lessors have not made additional claims after
repossession of the equipment.
The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these statements.
Non-cash investing and financing activities
During the first quarter of FY2002 Series A preferred shareholders converted 30
preferred shares into 2,941,176 common shares at an average conversion price of
$0.0102 per common share. Series B preferred shareholders converted 150
preferred shares into 15,730,674 common shares at an average conversion price of
$0.0095 per common share. Under the conversion terms of the convertible
preferred shares, a holder has the right to convert preferred shares into common
shares at eighty-five (85%) percent of the average of the two lowest closing bid
prices during the last twenty-two (22) consecutive trading days prior to
conversion. As part of the merger, the Company issued
50,000,000 shares of common stock with a value of $876,000.
NOTE A - GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. The Company had a loss of $1,013,881
for the quarter ended December 31, 2001, a deficit of $3,466,061 in
stockholders' equity and negative working capital of $2,934,474 for the period
ended December 31, 2001. The Company intends to continue to raise additional
funds in the capital markets for working capital purposes. The Company must
raise additional capital in order to continue as a going concern.
NOTE B - ACQUISITIONS/DISPOSITIONS
The Company completed its merger with the Automatic Answer Company (tAA) in the
quarter ended December 31, 2001. The merger was accounted for as a reverse
merger. The recapitalization of tAA, the surviving entity, resulted in a
reduction of $2,119,979 in stockholder's equity; $876,000 of which was
attributable to merger expenses and $1,243,979 resulting from the assumption of
the net deficit of the registrant.
NOTE C - OPTIONS TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK
No options were exercised in the first quarter.
NOTE D - WARRANTS TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK
No warrants were exercised in the first quarter.
NOTE E - OPTIONS/WARRANTS TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK
No options or warrants were issued in the first quarter/
NOTE F - ACCRUED PREFERRED STOCK DIVIDENDS
The Company accrued $23,214 for dividends payable to preferred shareholders
during the quarter.
NOTE G - PREFERRED STOCK
The Company has issued two series of Preferred Stock. Series A was issued in
February 1999 consisting of 1,800 shares, par value $0.01 per share, for $1,000
per share. Series B was issued in April 1999 at the same price and par value
but only 1,000 shares were issued. Both series of Preferred Stock carry a 16
percent dividend rate, which is paid quarterly. If and when the Company's stock
is listed again on NASDAQ the dividend rate will drop to 8 percent.
Both issuances of Preferred Stock are convertible into shares of the Company's
Common Stock. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into an
amount of shares of Pen Common Stock equal to $1,000 divided by the average of
the two lowest closing bid prices for Pen Common Stock during the period of 22
consecutive trading days ending with the last trading day before the date of
conversion, after discounting that market price by 15 percent (the "Conversion
Price"). The maximum Conversion Price for the Series A Preferred Stock is $1.17
per share. The shares of Series B Preferred Stock are convertible into Common
Stock at the same Conversion Price as the Series A Preferred Stock except for a
maximum Conversion Price of $0.79 per share. Warrants to acquire 320,000 shares
of Common Stock at prices ranging from $0.86 to $1.28 per share were also issued
to the purchasers of the Series A and Series B Preferred Stock. The Warrants
expire three years from date the Preferred Stock and warrants were initially
issued.
NOTE H - CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURE
In the first quarter ended December 31, 2001 the Company issued $100,000 in one
year convertible debentures with interest at eight (8) percent, payable
quarterly. These debentures are convertible into the Company's common stock at
the lower of $.04 or 70% of the average of the three lowest closing prices
during the 30 days prior to the conversion. These debentures are due one year
from the date of the issuance.
NOTE I - CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE
In the first quarter ended December 31, 2001 the Company issued a convertible
promissory note totaling $450,000 at an interest rate of eight (8) percent per
annum. These notes are convertible into the Company's common stock at $.01 per
share and a 8,055,853 warrant exercisable for common stock at $.02 per share and
1,500,000 warrants at $.01 per share.
Note J - EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
Basic earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net earnings
(loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share
are similarly calculated, except that the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding includes common shares that may be issued subject to existing
rights with dilutive potential except for periods when such calculations would
be anti-dilutive.
For the three ended December 31, 2001, net earnings (loss) attributable to
common shareholders includes accrued dividends at the stated dividend rate from
date of issuance and a non-cash imputed dividend to the preferred shareholders
related to the beneficial conversion feature on the 1999 Series A and B
Preferred Stock and related warrants. The beneficial conversion feature is
computed as the difference between the market value of the common stock into
which the Series A and B Preferred Stock can be converted and the value assigned
to the Series A and B Preferred Stock in the private placement. The imputed
dividend is a one-time non-cash charge against the earnings (loss) per common
share. The calculation of earnings (loss) per share is included in Exhibit 11.
NOTE K - INTERIM PERIOD COST OF GOODS SOLD
Inventory costing is based on specific identification. An inventory count is
taken at the end of each quarter.
NOTE L - INCOME TAXES
The future benefits of loss carried forward are fully reserved. There were no
income taxes during the quarter.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS. This report contains certain forward-looking
statements within the meaning of section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 as
amended, and section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
that involve risks and uncertainties. In addition, the Company may from time to
time make oral forward-looking statements. Actual results are uncertain and may
be impacted by the following factors. In particular, certain risks and
uncertainties that may impact the accuracy of the forward-looking statements
with respect to revenues, expenses and operating results include without
limitation, cycles of customer orders, general economic and competitive
conditions and changing consumer trends, technological advances and the number
and timing of new product introductions, shipments of products and components
from foreign suppliers, and changes in the mix of products ordered by customers.
As a result, the actual results may differ materially from those projected in
the forward-looking statements.
Because of these and other factors that may affect the Company's operating
results, past financial performance should not be considered an indicator of
future performance, and investors should not use historical trends to anticipate
results or trends in future periods.
The following discussion and analysis provides certain information which the
Company's management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of
the Company's results of operations and financial condition for the three months
ended December 31, 2001 and 2000. This discussion should be read in conjunction
with the audited financial statements of the Company and notes thereto included
in the Annual Report of the Company on Form 10-KSB for the year ended September
30, 2001.
General
There were no sales from continuing operations for the quarter ended December
31, 2000. All operating divisions were disposed of during 1999 and 2000, and
all operating activity was reclassified as discontinued operations. Since March
2, 2000, the Company decided to maintain its' situation as a reporting public
company, and to reduce its' debt in order to make the Company attractive to
private companies that would want to use Pen to go public. This approach would
be a major step to possibly help to maintain some shareholder value in the
Company's stock price.
The Company did enter into a Letter of Intent to reverse merge with a small
private .com company, perFORMplace.com, in the entertainment services business.
A definitive agreement was signed in late August 2000 with the intent to obtain
shareholder ratification at the next shareholders' meeting. However, on
November 8, 2000, before the meeting could be held, perFORMplace.com terminated
the merger.
On October 1, 2001, the Company completed a reverse merger with tAA. tAA is the
surviving entity for accounting purposes. The following discussion is based
upon the merged activities of both companies for all periods presented.
Net sales. Net sales for the Company decreased $185,850 or approximately 17
----------
percent for the three month period ended December 31, 2001, as compared to the
same period in the prior year. The Company believes that the economic
conditions after September 11, 2001 have contributed significantly to the
decline in revenues. Prior to September 11, 2001, the Company was achieving
higher monthly sales revenues.
Cost of sales. Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales decreased to 54% of
net sales as compared to 62% for the same period in the prior year. The
decrease resulted from the increase in the shipment of higher gross profit
margin products; along with a reduction in shipping costs due to improved
inventory control and production processes.
Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and
administrative expenses decreased by $399,160 or approximately 42% from the
three month period ended December 31, 2001 as compared to the same period in the
prior year. The decrease is due (1) the reduction in salaries, payroll taxes
and related employee expenses paid in the current quarter as compared to the
prior year due a reduction in personnel. (2) In June 2001, the operations of
Pen Interconnect were relocated to the offices of the Automatic Answer, Inc.
(tAA). The relocation resulted in the termination of the remaining Pen
employees as salaried employees, along with a reduction in operating expenses.
(3) The Automatic Answer Company moved it offices from San Juan Capistrano, CA
to Irvine, CA thereby reducing monthly rent expense for the quarter ended
December 31, 2001 by approximately $15,000; and (4) the Company has made a
concerted effort to eliminate any on-going expenses that were not relative to
producing revenue or profit for the Company.
Other income and expenses. The net decrease in other income and expenses for
----------------------------
the quarter ended December 31, 2001 amounted to $87,433. In the same period in
the prior year the Company incurred a loss on impairment of
$63,000 and a loss from discontinued operations of $39,323. There were no
comparable losses in the current quarter.
Extraordinary costs. The Company recorded costs of $876,000 for the quarter
--------------------
ended December 31, 2001. These costs are associated with the merger between Pen
Interconnect, Inc. and the Automatic Answer, Inc. (tAA).
Net earnings (loss) and earnings (loss) per share. Net loss for the first fiscal
quarter ended December 31, 2001 totaled ($1,013,881) or ($0.00) per share,
compared with losses of ($626,103) or ($0.00) per share for the first fiscal
quarter of FY 2000.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the first three months of FY 2001 the Company sustained losses of
$1,013,881. As a result of these losses the Company raised additional working
capital through the issuance of Convertible Debentures ($100,000) and
Convertible Promissory Notes ($450,000).
Inflation and Seasonality
The Company does not believe that it is significantly impacted by inflation or
seasonally.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
Board of Directors and Shareholders
The Automatic Answer, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of The Automatic Answer, Inc. as
of December 31, 2000, and 1999 and the related statements of operations,
shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the 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 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of The Automatic Answer, Inc. as
of December 31, 2000, and 1999 and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the
financial statements, the Company has sustained losses from operations and has a
net capital deficiency, which raise doubts about its ability to continue as a
going concern. Management's plans regarding those matters also are described in
Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization and line of business
-------------------------------------
The Automatic Answer, Inc. (the Company) makes PC-enabled telephone answering
software. Sales are made primarily to resellers and dealers.
Use of estimates
------------------
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosures of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as
well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Significant estimates include reserve for bad debts, reserve for
obsolete inventory, and depreciation. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Cash and cash equivalents
----------------------------
For purpose of the statements of cash flows, cash equivalents include amounts
invested in a money market account with a financial institution. The Company
considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three
months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are carried at cost,
which approximates market.
Concentration of cash
-----------------------
The Company at times maintains cash balances in excess of the federally insured
limit of $100,000 per institution. Uninsured balances as of December 31, 2000
and 1999 were $92,279 and $0
respectively.
Revenue recognition
--------------------
The Company recognizes revenue when merchandise is shipped to a customer or at
the time services are rendered. The Company estimates the reserve for returns
based on the historical amount of returns.
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Accounts receivable
--------------------
The Company's accounts receivable consists of balances due from dealers in the
telecommunications industry. The terms are normally net 10 days.
The Company recorded an allowance for bad debts of $71,828 and $25,000 at
December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
Inventory
---------
Inventory consists principally of network telephone PC hardware and is stated at
the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market.
Property and equipment
------------------------
Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and
amortization. Maintenance and minor replacements are charged to expense as
incurred. Gains and losses on disposals are included in the results of
operations.
Depreciation and amortization are provided using the straight-line method over
estimated useful lives of the respective assets as follows:
Office furniture and fixtures 7 years
Computer and office equipment 5 years
Computer software 3 years
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Property and equipment (continued)
-------------------------------------
Amortization of leasehold improvements is computed using the straight-line
method over the lesser of the asset life or the life of the respective lease.
Advertising cost
-----------------
The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Total advertising expense
was $11,402 and $32,677 for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999,
respectively.
Income taxes
-------------
The Company utilizes SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," which requires
the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future
tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements
or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the
tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets
and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based
on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which
the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are
established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount
expected to be realized. The provision for income taxes represents the tax
payable for the period and the change during the period in deferred tax assets
and liabilities.
Fair value of financial instruments
---------------------------------------
The Company measures its financial assets and liabilities in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles. For certain of the Company's financial
instruments, including cash and cash equivalents and accounts payable and
accrued liabilities, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their
short maturities. The amounts shown for notes payable also approximate fair
value because current interest rates offered to the Company for debt of similar
maturities are substantially the same.
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Stock options
--------------
SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," establishes and
encourages the use of the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based
compensation arrangements under which compensation cost is determined using the
fair value of stock-based compensation determined as of the date of grant and is
recognized over the periods in which the related services are rendered. The
statement also permits companies to elect to continue using the current
intrinsic value accounting method specified in Accounting Principles Bulletin
("APB") Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," to account
for stock-based compensation.
The Company has elected to use the intrinsic value based method and has
disclosed the pro forma effect of using the fair value based method to account
for its stock-based compensation.
Comprehensive income (loss):
------------------------------
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" (SFAS
130), which is effective for financial statements for periods beginning after
December 15, 1997. This pronouncement establishes standards for reporting and
display of comprehensive income (loss) and its components in a full set of
general-purpose financial statements. The Company, however, does not have any
components of comprehensive income (loss) as defined by SFAS 130 and therefore,
for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, comprehensive income (loss) is
equivalent to the Company's net income (loss).
Long-Lived assets
------------------
The Company accounts for the impairment and disposition of long-lived assets in
accordance with SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the impairment of long-lived
Assets and Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of". In accordance with SFAS No.
121, long-lived assets to be held are reviewed for events or changes in
circumstances, which indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable.
As of December 31, 2000 and 1999, no impairment has been recorded.
------
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Other accounting pronouncements
---------------------------------
In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities". SFAS No. 133 requires that an enterprise
recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of
financial position and measure those instruments at fair value. The Company does
not believe that the adoption of the provisions of SFAS No. 133 will have a
material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
The FASB issued SFAS No. 131 on "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and
Related Information" effective in 1998. The Company evaluated SFAS No. 131 and
determined that the Company operates in only one segment.
NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate continuation of the
Company as a going concern. However, the Company earned approximately $311,000
in 1999 and sustained net losses of $ 501,893 and $ 1,520,478 in 2000 and 1998,
respectively. The Company has an accumulated deficit of approximately
$1,293,000 and $814,000 at December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. In
addition, the Company had a working deficit of approximately $1,360,500 and
994,900 at December 31, 2000 and 1999. These factors raise substantial doubt
about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial
statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and
classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classification of
liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in
existence. The Company's continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its
ability to obtain the additional financing necessary to complete development of
new products and achieve the level of sales that will enable it to sustain its
operations.
The Company is seeking to enter into a strategic acquisition with a publicly
held company and anticipates more financing from equity sources to fund its
operations. No assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in
these efforts.
NOTE 3 - INVENTORY
Inventory, which principally consists of computer hardware, amounted to $133,364
and $338,118 at December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The Company's reserve
for obsolete inventory amounted to $50,000 at December 31, 2000 and 1999.

NOTE 12 - STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS
The Company adopted the 1996 Stock Option Plan ("the Plan") in July 1996. The
Plan provides for the granting of incentive stock options and non-qualified
options to purchase shares of the Company's common stock covering an aggregate
of 600,000 shares of the Company's common stock.
The exercise price of incentive stock options under the Plan must at least be
equal to the fair market value of a share of common stock on the date the option
is granted. Non-qualified options shall have an exercise price of not less than
85% of fair market value of a share of common stock on the date such option is
granted. The options must expire no later than ten years from the date of
grant. Vesting on options granted in the future will be at a rate of no less
than 20% per year over a period of no more than five years following the date of
grant.
The Company has adopted only the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123. It
applies APB Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations in accounting for its
plans and does not recognize compensation expense for its stock-based
compensation plans other than for restricted stock and options issued to outside
third parties. If the Company had elected to recognize compensation expense
based upon the fair value at the grant date for awards under this plan
consistent with the methodology prescribed by SFAS No. 123, the Company's net
loss and loss per share would be reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated
below for the years ended December 31:
2000 1999
==== ====
Net income (loss)
As reported $ (501,893) $ 311,226
Pro forma $ (542,593) $ 237,803
The fair value of these options was estimated at the date of grant using the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average
assumptions for the year ended December 31, 2000: dividend yield of 0%; no
expected volatility; risk-free interest rate of 5.6%; and expected life of 4
years.
NOTE 12 - STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS (CONTINUED)
The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the
fair value of traded options, which have no vesting restrictions and are fully
transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly
subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility.

UNDERTAKINGS
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that it will:
Undertaking (a)
(1) File, during any period in which it offers or sells securities, a
post-effective amendment to this registration statement to:
(i) Include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities
Act of 1933;
(ii) Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or
together, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the
registration statement; and arising after the effective date of the
registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment
thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental
change in the information set forth in the registration statement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities
offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that
which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the
estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus
filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) ('230.424(b) of this
chapter) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no
more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in
the "Calculation of the Registration Fee" table in the effective registration
statement.
(iii) Include any additional or changed material information on the plan of
distribution.
(2) For determining any liability under the Securities Act, treat each
post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the securities
offered, and the offering of the securities at that time to be the initial bona
fide offering
(3) File a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of the
securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering.
Undertaking (e)
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 (the "Act") may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the small business issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or
otherwise, the small business issuer has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy
as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities
(other than the payment by the small business issuer of expenses incurred or
