PART I.
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
DATA RACE, Inc. ("Data Race", "we" or the "Company"), currently doing business
as IP AXESS, designs, manufactures, and markets a line of innovative
communications products to meet the needs of remote workers. The Company's lead
product, the VocalWare(TM) IP remote access system, provides virtual presence to
the corporate environment by allowing a remote worker to connect to the
corporate office over a normal dial-up telephone line or a number of broadband
access mediums such as DSL, cable modems, ISDN, ATM and frame relay, and
simultaneously have full access to the corporate data network, the office phone
extension, and the office fax system.
Historically, the Company's revenue has come from custom modem and network
multiplexer products. The Company's modem business comprised the design and
manufacture of special custom modems on an OEM basis for the manufacturers of
notebook computers. Today's notebook computers generally do not use such custom
modems. The market for the Company's network multiplexer products has been in a
state of steady decline. These units, deemed counterproductive to the future of
the Company, have been either sold or discontinued. To develop a more reliable
revenue base and a return to profitability, the Company is depending on the
success of the VocalWare IP product line.
The Company's VocalWare IP product line is intended to capitalize on the
communications requirements of the rapidly growing number of "teleworkers" who
need convenient simultaneous access to all of their corporate information assets
- voice, data and fax - when working from home or on the road. With VocalWare
IP, a user can be logged in from home, a hotel room, or an airport lounge,
reading e-mail and browsing the web. If a call comes into his normal office
phone extension, an image of his office phone pops up on the screen and rings,
showing Caller ID information. He can answer the phone, conference in
colleagues, and transfer the call, all while continuing his data work. At the
same time, he can read faxes sent to his office or can send faxes. The Company
refers to this set of capabilities as Telepresence(TM). If working at home,
normal home phone calls can also ring through while the data session continues,
without requiring a second phone line.
The Company completed its second-generation development efforts in fiscal 2001,
completing the evolution of its Be There! dial-up remote access solution into a
integrated dial-up and broadband access server. This second generation solution
allows users to access their office voice, e-mail, data and fax resources over
any access medium dial-up or broadband and works with all of the leading
manufacturers of voice and data products.
The Company seeks to capture a leadership position in the market for remote
access solutions by capitalizing on its unique advanced technology, its patents,
other intellectual property and on developing relationships with leading network
and solution companies, which have influence with enterprise customers.

Industry Overview
The Company operates within the remote access segment of the digital
communication products industry. VocalWare IP represents a new product category
in this industry bridging the gap between traditional voice and data solutions.
This industry has been characterized by high rates of growth and change due to
the emergence of the Internet and e-commerce. As the basis for value within the
global economy shifts from goods to information, global instantaneous access to
all forms of information, whether by phone, fax, or data link, is transitioning
from a luxury to a necessity for businesses. This need to give
dispersed-knowledge workers and consumers' instantaneous access to all forms of
information has created a multi-billion dollar remote access market.
The Enterprise Market
As the workforce shifts from production worker to knowledge worker, the need for
companies to physically cluster their workers is diminishing in many industries.
Allowing employees to work at home or another location remote from the corporate
office offers substantial advantages to the employer, to the employee, and to
society as a whole. To the employer, remote work can yield improved
productivity, reduced turnover, reduced facility cost, the ability to hire from
a broader national labor pool, and an economical way of complying with the
mandates of legislative initiatives such as the Clean Air Act, the Americans
with Disabilities Act, and the Family and Medical Leave Act. To the employee,
remote work offers improved quality of life by reducing commuting time and
frustration, providing more family time, and the flexibility to live further
from the workplace. To society, remote work can offer reduced traffic congestion
and pollution.
Traditionally, companies have provided remote access services to their employees
by purchasing and deploying data-only remote access hardware and software within
the company. Recently, an increasing number of companies have begun to outsource
their remote access capabilities to outside service companies.
Mobile Professional
The Company's VocalWare IP product line addresses the needs of so-called "mobile
professionals," traveling workers who require efficient, readily available,
phone, data, and fax connectivity to their offices. Because mobile professionals
are often highly compensated, any increase in their productivity is generally
worth a great deal to their employers. When working from a hotel room or airport
lounge, a mobile professional often needs to retrieve and reply to e-mail, voice
mail, and fax traffic, all within a very limited time. At other times, the
mobile professional may need to work collaboratively with a colleague on a
document while discussing it on the phone.
The Company believes that the needs of the mobile professional are uniquely met
by the VocalWare IP system. VocalWare IP can increase a mobile professional's
productivity by providing simultaneous phone, fax, and data connectivity to the
office. When working from a hotel room or airport lounge, a mobile professional
can use the VocalWare IP system to quickly retrieve and reply to e-mail and fax
traffic while simultaneously making phone calls and taking calls placed to his
or her personal office phone. In addition to productivity improvements,
VocalWare IP can yield substantial hard-dollar savings for companies as a result
of reduced cellular phone costs, hotel telephone surcharges and calling card
rate long-distance charges.

Telecommuters
Over the past several years, an increasing number of companies have adopted
telecommuting programs, either on a trial basis or as permanent programs, due to
a variety of economic, social, and legislative pressures. Studies in the last
few years have shown that there are substantial economic benefits to
corporations with telecommuting programs. More importantly, numerous studies of
telecommuting programs done in recent years have documented productivity
improvements among telecommuters, typically in the range of 10% to 30%.
Contributing to this improvement is the reduction in non-business discussions
with colleagues and the longer hours worked after dinner or at other periods
outside the traditional working day by someone whose office is in the home.
Because a commute is not required, companies are able to tap into labor
resources for short peak-hour periods during the day in ways that were
impractical before telecommuting. The economic benefits currently outweigh the
incremental costs by such a large margin that for the foreseeable future,
technology, not price, will remain one of the major selection criteria for
telecommuting products. There are also a variety of legislative forces behind
the increases in telecommuting. The Clean Air Act of 1990 encourages cities in
non-attainment zones to implement plans to reduce automobile emissions.
Telecommuting is a convenient and economical method of reducing such emissions.
The Family and Medical Leave Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act both
require companies to offer accommodations to workers who may not be able to work
daily in the corporate office, but who may be able to work from home for all or
part of a day.
In addition to the legislative and economic forces, there are significant social
forces driving the increase in telecommuting. Eliminating the daily commute has
clear benefits for the environment and for traffic. Telecommuting also improves
workers' lifestyles as the time lost to commuting is recovered for more
leisurely activities. In addition, the ability to spend the day at home with the
family is attractive to many workers. For these and other reasons, studies
report that telecommuting improves employee morale and reduces employee
turnover.
With VocalWare IP, a telecommuter can use the office PBX or Centrex and its many
features to send or receive network faxes and check e-mail all at one time using
one conventional phone line. Incoming calls to the business phone ring
immediately in the home so that telecommuting is completely transparent.
Four-digit extension calls transfer automatically, so even co-workers can't tell
who is working from home. VocalWare IP makes telecommuters more productive by
allowing them to accomplish multiple tasks simultaneously.
Remote Call Center Workers
Call center workers are generally groups of workers that deal with customers
over the telephone. Airline reservation centers are such an example in which
workers are connected by phone to the customers and by a network to a computer
database containing flight and space availability information. In certain
applications, workers must also send and receive faxes. Incoming phone calls are
typically routed through specialized computer systems to the next available
worker. Computers allow the monitoring of individual and overall performance.
Hiring and employee scheduling are two of the most challenging and costly
aspects of call center management. Many call centers operate on a 24 hour-a-day,
7 day-a-week basis, with peak call hours varying by industry, and by whether the
call center is inbound, outbound or both. It is often more economical to staff
the call center, at least partially, with part-time employees working from home.
Such remote call center workers, often parents of young children who cannot
afford to be away from home, can nevertheless work productively for a limited
number of
5
hours while their children are napping, at school, or otherwise occupied. Such
part-time employees typically receive reduced benefits, making them less costly
to their employers. Very substantial capital savings may also be realized, as
additional facilities do not need to be built to house these workers. In June
2000, DataMonitor, a research firm in the call center market, estimated a cost
saving of approximately $6,000 per agent when using the VocalWare IP remote
agent solution.
Without VocalWare IP, connecting remote workers to call centers is problematic.
Such workers need a telephone connection to the customer and a simultaneous data
connection to the database, and often the ability to send and receive faxes. To
enable a remote call center worker to operate in this mode would generally
require the installation of multiple additional telephone or ISDN lines to the
worker's home. In addition to the expense of these connections, it may take
several months to get the service installed, connected, and operating properly.
With the high turnover rates common among call center employees, it may not be
feasible to have these services installed during the employee's tenure, and is
typically economically impractical.
With the VocalWare IP system, the remote call center agent can use the office
PBX and ACD systems with all of their functionality while they simultaneously
access the corporate LAN for account information, as well as process screen
pops. That means remote agents can send a network fax, access the Internet, talk
to a customer and review account information all at the same time. Incoming
calls ring immediately at the remote site. Furthermore, a unique feature of the
VocalWare IP system allows any calls placed to the worker's home phone to be
re-routed through the call center and back to the worker. In this way, an
emergency call from the school nurse, for example, will not be blocked because
the worker's phone line is tied up with the connection to the call center.
VocalWare IP provides the cost-effective, comprehensive solution that allows
call center agents to work from home as productively as they would in the
office.
Remote Offices
The benefits that VocalWare IP brings to the branch office are the ability to do
true dynamic office space allocation. The flexibility of the VocalWare IP server
and combination of voice and data over any IP connection enables the facilities
manager to make every LAN outlet a portal to the enterprise's entire
communication network. VocalWare IP reduces the need for customer premise
equipment, such as physical devices, which many PBX extender products require.
We believe VocalWare IP can save companies up to $500 per user for every
employee that is relocated to a branch office by eliminating the need for a
switch technician to establish telephone service, reassign telephone numbers and
reallocate inside wire to the new user. The enterprise VocalWare IP solution
enables greater economies of scale and communications by aggregating all of the
branch office traffic into headquarters, thereby allowing effective utilization
of inter-exchange carriers and local exchange carriers. Once again, the
enterprise is able to achieve greater economies of scale and communications by
aggregating all of the branch office traffic into headquarters. Another
important feature for the branch offices is total flexibility no matter where
the user moves in the enterprise. Whether the user is at the headquarters
location or at a branch location, the LAN and voice communications are the same.
With common dialing users retain all of their phone features. This means that
employees who move between headquarters and branch locations are able to keep
their same phone number and even more importantly, they do not have to learn new
phone features and dial-in protocols. Since we are utilizing the centralized PBX
instead of buying remote key systems and other remote access devices, we are
getting more effective utilization of the enterprise network, thus enabling a
greater ability to manage bandwidth requirements.
6
The use of hoteling or telecenters for office space allocation allows
enterprises with a highly mobile workforce to dynamically assign office space
based upon the need at that current time. Some of the key applications that fit
a hoteling model are consulting firms, auditors, and in general any employer
that has numerous employees that travel a good portion of the time.
Strategy
The Company strategy is to provide innovative, first-to-market, high-value-added
solutions. In devising product solutions, The Company typically attempts to
obtain input from prospective customers throughout the development process. The
Company applies substantial engineering and technical capabilities to
incorporate current remote access technologies, as well as the Company's own
technological innovations and advances to the design of products intended to
meet the market needs of the customer.
The Company believes that it has developed unique remote access technology for
the integration of voice and data using Internet Protocols, and it has
incorporated this technology into its VocalWare IP product line. The Company has
focused its VocalWare IP sales efforts on the enterprise market segment. Its
strategy has been to maintain a direct sales force while simultaneously
developing distribution partners. The direct sales force is intended to sell
directly to large potential customers and to support the initial sales efforts
of the partners. The Company's sales process relies on a four-step selling
cycle. First, the salesperson calls upon a sales prospect to present and
demonstrate the VocalWare IP product. In the second step, upon receipt of a
conditional purchase order from the customer, The Company installs a trial
system in the corporate offices of a prospect for technical evaluation. At the
end of the specified trial period (usually 30 to 60 days) The Company will
invoice the customer for the VocalWare product. In the fourth step, the Company
anticipates that the number of users would then expand, as the benefits were
experienced first-hand within the operating groups of the large target
companies.
The Company believes that its strategy to generate significant sales to the
enterprise market is dependent upon success in two important areas. First, the
Company's sales resources are focused upon moving its early customers to rolling
out the VocalWare IP products to a large number of their employees. The Company
believes that such large-scale operational reference customers are critical to
overcoming the Company's lack of name recognition and credibility in convincing
new prospects to buy VocalWare IP. Second, the Company is attempting to
establish one or more strategic relationships with other companies who have
established name recognition and sales/distribution capabilities. The Company
believes that such partnerships greatly increase the visibility of its product
with prospective customers and provide these partners with a unique solution to
offer their customers. The Company has entered into a telecommuting Proof of
Concept agreement with a US government agency where the Company has installed a
VocalWare server in November 2001 for testing purposes.

Products
VocalWare IP Remote Access System
VocalWare IP is a remote access system which allows a worker who is away from
his office to connect over a conventional phone line or broadband connection
such as DSL, ISDN or cable modem service, and have simultaneous access to his
office telephone, fax, data network and Internet connections. The user can be
connected from home or from a hotel room, anywhere in the world that Internet
access is available. While reading and writing e-mail, synchronizing notes and
calendars and surfing the Internet, a colleague or an outside caller calls the
user's office. An image of the user's office phone pops up on his screen, rings
and presents the caller's ID without interrupting the data connections. He
answers the phone and carries on a normal business conversation while continuing
to read e-mail and do other data work. He can also send a fax to the person he
is talking to (or to anyone else) and receive faxes sent to his office while
continuing to talk and use the full data capabilities. He can conference in
colleagues in his office or transfer the call to colleagues by simply using the
same button sequence on his phone that he would use if he were in the corporate
office. The user is provided with Telepresence(TM) in his remote office - the
ability to work as if he were in his office, so transparently that callers
cannot tell the difference. Unlike other solutions, the telephone conversation
is of such high quality that typical callers will likely not be able to tell
that he is using a technology other than his normal office phone even during
periods of large data transfers on that same line.
Existing Approaches
The needs of teleworkers are currently being met by a variety of partial
solutions, including computer modems and remote access servers to provide data
connectivity; telephones (including cellular phones), PBX extenders, DSL, and a
variety of software products and communications services providing some degree
of phone access; and fax servers, fax modems, and software, as well as remote
physical fax machines to support remote fax access. Although technology is
advancing rapidly, the partial solutions currently available typically require
multiple phone lines or ISDN lines, which are often unavailable and are
generally expensive where they are available. These solutions also generally
require that the user act as systems integrator to cause all of these disparate
systems and services to function in unison. Such partial solutions fail to
accomplish the fundamental objective of a remote access system, namely to allow
teleworkers to perform their jobs at remote locations just as effectively as
they would in their offices.
The VocalWare IP Solution
To address the teleworker market needs, the Company has developed the VocalWare
IP system. With the VocalWare IP remote access system, e-mail, file server,
intranet, Internet, fax and other data connections are supported, as they would
be in the office. An image of the worker's office telephone appears on the
worker's computer screen and has the same functions it would have in the office.
The teleworker can dial colleagues or place local or long-distance calls through
the company's WATS lines as if present in the office. Colleagues who dial a
teleworker's extension, or outsiders who call in on the teleworker's corporate
office direct line, will automatically and immediately be connected to the
teleworker in the remote location, all without disturbing the data connections
on which the teleworker is reading e-mail or browsing the Web. At the same time,
the teleworker can send and receive faxes over the company's fax server, again
without interrupting the phone and data connections. The Company refers to this
transparent combination of data, fax, and voice features that enable a remote
worker to operate just as he or she would in the office as Telepresence(TM).

Current Product
A VocalWare IP remote access system is made up of client software and accessory
products installed on the user's desktop or notebook computer, and a server
installed at the office. These components, along with their connections, are
diagrammed in Figure 1.
[GRAPHIC OMITTED]
FIGURE 1 - VOCALWARE IP SYSTEM COMPONENTS
VocalWare IP is the next generation of the Company's integrated IP based voice
and data solutions. The VocalWare IP, boasting patented voice-quality
technology, utilizes the powerful new generation of Pentium processors to
perform speech and data compression, as well as multiplexing functions while
using the computer's microphone speaker and sound systems to act as a telephone.
The equipment is easy to install, use and manage and the VocalWare IP Enterprise
Access server is able to communicate with any industry-standard v.90-capable
modem. VocalWare also features a comprehensive suite of simulated phones that
provide a user-friendly interface and function as a user's own office
environment. This allows employees to spend less time learning new software and
more time being productive using VocalWare's phone, fax, e-mail and Internet
capabilities.
9
The Company has also released two other client accessory products for inclusion
in the VocalWare IP family - VocalWare(TM) Turbo, and VocalWare(TM) RealPhone.
These new products provide the benefits of VocalWare 56k bandwidth, improved
voice quality and flexibility for those users whose systems do not fully meet
the basic requirements for VocalWare.
The VocalWare Turbo is designed to work with laptops. It takes the place of the
sound-system and off-loads voice compression from the CPU. The RealPhone, which
targets desktop systems, connects to a standard home telephone (including
cordless phones) and features an industry-standard modem in addition to the
functions of VocalWare Turbo. This enables it to replace the previous generation
of client cards. Both the VocalWare Turbo and VocalWare RealPhone products will
increase the market of users able to enjoy the benefits of working with
VocalWare IP.
The VocalWare IP Enterprise Access Server transforms a computer into an office.
When in the office, a user simply connects to the office network and works
normally. When at home, the user can connect with cable modem, DSL line, ISDN
line or a dial-up modem and click on the VocalWare IP icon to be connected to
the office network, telephone and fax. The VocalWare IP Enterprise Access Server
supports V.90 (so-called "56k") connections, higher port densities to support
greater numbers of users per server, redundant fault-tolerant configurations,
voice over IP connections and users connecting over Local Area Networks (LANs),
DSL lines and cable modems.
Technology and Product Development
The Company believes that the extension and enhancement of the existing
VocalWare product line and the development of new products that leverage
state-of-the-art local and wide-area connectivity technologies to provide remote
access to both corporate data and telephony facilities are critical to its
future success. The Company seeks to implement its innovative products using the
latest industry standards and technologies, thus enabling the Company to develop
and introduce products quickly in response to customer requirements and
identified market trends.
When appropriate industry standards are not available, The Company may, from
time to time, introduce and promote the required new standards in the various
industry forums and standards organizations.
The Company regularly uses information derived from interaction with key
customers, its distribution channel partners, participation in industry
standards organizations, and market and technical research to set its
development directions and make design and product decisions.
Users of the Company's products for telephone communication expect a standard of
reliability closer to that for normal telephony than that for normal data
communications software and other software applications. As a result, the
Company's development priorities include significant testing, quality assurances
as well as focus on a development and planning methodology and processes.
Company-sponsored research and development expenses for continuing operations
were $5.0 million, $3.3 million, and $2.4 million for fiscal years 2001, 2000,
and 1999, respectively.
10
Manufacturing and Suppliers
The Company purchases key components used in the manufacture of its products
from third-party suppliers. The Company does not have any agreements with
component suppliers as the Company ordinarily avoids fixed long-term commitments
for components. This allows the Company to better coordinate component inventory
build-up and to select suppliers who have the most technologically advanced,
cost-effective components available at the time. The Company also does not have
any manufacturing agreements
The Company has moved all of its production for customer goods to outside
turn-key system integrators. We qualify and monitor our system integrators and
subcontractors through a stringent vendor-quality program to ensure they
consistently provide a quality product on time. This strategy was adopted to
increase our flexibility and effectiveness in responding to customer needs. At
the same time, it allows us to reduce our overall manufacturing costs by
leveraging key strategic partnerships developed by our system integrators with
their suppliers. We are continually searching to find top quality system
integrators and subcontractors to ensure that we can always meet our customers'
requirements with the highest quality product.
Marketing, Sales, Distribution and Support
In order to successfully penetrate the enterprise market, the Company believes
that it will need to maintain a small direct sales force while simultaneously
developing distribution partners. The small direct sales force is intended to
sell directly to large potential customers and to support the initial sales
efforts of the partners. The distribution of the product to customers is one of
two ways: 1) shipped directly from the Company on direct sales or 2) shipped
directly to the resellers who ship to the end customer. Customer support is thru
the Company's technical support group which is staffed five days a week during
normal business hours.
Competition
Historically, there has been little to no other direct competition with
VocalWare. VocalWare is the only product in the remote access segment that can
connect remote workers via a conventional phone line connection or a broadband
connection via the VocalWare IP server. However, there are alternative solutions
available today and other related products and services have recently been
announced. Many prospective customers, especially "mobile professionals", can
use a cell phone along with a notebook computer and modem to receive many of the
benefits of VocalWare. Certain PBX extender products (including those from MCK,
Multitech, and TelTone) can provide some of the benefits of VocalWare to
teleworkers working from home. In addition, ISDN, DSL and cable modem services
provide some of the benefits of VocalWare, in that they can provide simultaneous
voice and data without tying up the primary home phone line. In this dynamic
market, new products or services are announced frequently and many of these may
provide competitive solutions to our prospective customers.
There can be no assurance that competitors will not introduce comparable or
superior products incorporating more advanced technology at lower prices. See
"Certain Business Risks - We May Not Be Able to Compete Effectively with
Companies Having Greater Resources."
Intellectual Property
The Company's success depends in part upon its proprietary technology, including
both its software programs and its hardware designs. The Company relies upon
patent, copyright, trademark, and trade secret laws to protect its proprietary
technology. The Company generally enters into nondisclosure agreements with
persons to whom it reveals its proprietary information,
11
such as component suppliers, subcontractors, and OEMs that the Company works
with concerning future products. Although it is unusual in the industry for
patents to be of substantial strategic value, the Company has ongoing programs
seeking patent and other intellectual property protection for its technologies
and products, and it sometimes grants licenses of its technology to other
companies. There can be no assurance that the Company's present protective
measures will be adequate to prevent misappropriation of its technology or
independent third party development of the same or similar technology. Many
foreign jurisdictions offer less protection of intellectual property rights than
the United States, and there can be no assurance that the protection provided to
the Company's proprietary technology by the laws of the United States or foreign
jurisdictions will be sufficient to protect the Company's technology.
While the Company's competitive position may be affected by its ability to
protect its proprietary information, the Company believes that the rapid pace of
technological change in the remote access products industry will cause other
factors to be more significant in maintaining our competitive position. These
factors include the technical expertise, knowledge and innovative skill of our
management and technical personnel, name recognition, the timeliness and quality
of support services provided by us and our ability to rapidly develop, produce,
enhance, and market innovative products.
In the current market, in which voice and data communications are converging
rapidly, the Company believes that the intellectual property of its "virtual
presence to an office" product innovations may be of significant strategic
value. Therefore, the Company protects its new ideas by regularly filing patent
applications on new product concepts and implementation methods. In June 1998,
the United States Patent and Trademark Office issued patent number 5,764,639
entitled "System and Method for Providing a Remote User with a Virtual Presence
to an Office." This patent will expire in November 2015. The patented system and
method provide remote users with the ability to work outside of the office just
as if they were physically located in the corporate office. The Company also has
other patents issued and pending related to the VocalWare IP product technology.
The Company intends to aggressively protect its rights under its patents. See
"Certain Business Risks - We Depend upon Our Proprietary Technology and We May
Not Be Able to Adequately Protect It."
The Company enters into licensing agreements with suppliers of components that
it desires to incorporate into its products. The Company may choose to obtain
additional licenses in the future, but believes that any necessary licenses
could be obtained on terms that would not have a material adverse effect on our
business.
It is common in the computer industry for companies to assert intellectual
property infringement claims against other companies. As a consequence, the
Company indemnifies some OEM customers in certain respects against intellectual
property claims relating to our products. The Company presently is not aware of
any material intellectual property claims pending against it. If an intellectual
property claim were brought against the Company and one of Company's products
were found to be infringing upon the rights of others, the Company could be
required to pay infringement damages, pay licensing fees, modify its products so
that they are not infringing, or discontinue offering products that were found
to be infringing, any of which could materially adversely affect our business
and results of operations. In addition, the assertion of such claims against one
or more of the Company's vendors could adversely affect the availability from
those vendors of components used by us.

Significant Customers
During fiscal year ended June 30, 2001, we recorded revenues from shipments of
approximately 85% from three customers. During fiscal years ended June 30, 2000
and 1999 revenues from shipments to and fees from Sabratek represented
approximately 65% and 50% of revenues from continuing operations respectively.
Backlog
The Company's backlog at June 30, 2001 was not significant. The Company does not
believe that its backlog as of any particular date is necessarily indicative of
future sales because, as is customary in the industry, the Company often allows
changes in delivery schedules or certain order cancellations without significant
penalty, and because the time between order placement and shipment is short.

As of June 30, 2001, the Company employed 77 employees, including 8 in
manufacturing, 33 in engineering, 20 in sales, marketing and customer support,
and 16 in general and administration. None of our employees are represented by a
labor union. Subsequent to the fiscal year end we reduced our workforce to 6
employees. The Company believes its relations with its employees are good.
Competition for qualified personnel is intense, especially for talented
engineers and senior marketing personnel, and the Company believes that its
prospects for future growth and success will depend, in a significant part, on
its ability to retain and continue to attract highly skilled and capable
personnel in all areas of operations.

Certain Business Risks
This Report contains certain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934. Such forward-looking statements, which are often
identified by words such as "believes", "anticipates", "expects", "estimates",
"should", "may", "will" and similar expressions, represent our expectations or
beliefs concerning future events. Numerous assumptions, risks, and
uncertainties, including the factors set forth below, could cause actual results
to differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking
statements.
We Have a History of Operating Losses and Expect to Have Continued Losses
We have suffered substantial recurring losses, and sales of our VocalWare
products have not resulted in significant revenue. For the fiscal years ended
June 30, 2001, 2000 and 1999 we have incurred operating losses (from continuing
operations) of approximately $16 million, $8.8 million and $8.5 million on
approximately $63,000, $316,000 and $836,000 of VocalWare sales respectively.
Although we have made reductions in workforce and associated expenses since July
2001, we may never return to profitability or attain future revenue levels
sufficient to support our operations. In recent years we have funded operations
from the sale of equity securities.
We Will Need Additional Capital to Sustain Operations
Because we have been unable to raise sufficient capital financing recently, we
have been required to suspend many of our operations and scale down our
operations. We may be required to suspend additional or all of our operations if
we cannot obtain additional long-term financing. It is possible that sources of
capital, such as investors, lenders or strategic partners, may perceive our
recent history of losses, current financial condition, reduction in the scope of
our operations or lack of significant VocalWare product sales as too great a
risk to bear. As a result, we may not be able to obtain additional capital on
favorable terms, if at all. Further, if we issue equity securities, shareholders
may experience additional dilution or the new equity securities may have rights
and preferences senior to the common stock. Even if our sales grow, we may
require additional capital to hire additional personnel and increase inventory
levels. We cannot predict the timing and amount of our future capital
requirements.
Finally, there can be no assurance that we will be able to access additional
funds under our equity line of financing with Grenville Finance Ltd. First,
before we are permitted to draw down on the equity line of credit financing, a
registration statement registering for resale the shares issued to Grenville
under the financing must be declared effective by the commission. We can give no
assurance and may be unable to cause the registration statement to be declared
effective. Second, the maximum draw down amount of a draw down under our equity
line facility will be equal to the lesser of $1,000,000 and 15% of the weighted
average price for our common stock for the 30 calendar day period immediately
prior to the date that we deliver notice to the Investor of our intention to
exercise a draw down multiplied by the total trading volume in respect of our
common stock for such period. Accordingly, if our stock price and trading volume
do not increase above current levels, then the maximum draw down amount formula
will severely restrict our ability to draw down all $30,000,000 pursuant to the
equity line facility with Grenville.
14
We Have Limited Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have limited liquidity and capital resources and must obtain substantial
additional capital to support our research and development, sales and marketing
initiatives and general corporate purposes. If we do not obtain the necessary
capital resources, we may have to delay, reduce or eliminate some or all of our
initiatives.
If we are unable to draw down on our equity line or choose not to do so, we
intend to pursue our needed capital resources through equity and debt financings
and strategic partnerships. We may fail to obtain the necessary capital
resources from any such sources when needed or on terms acceptable to us.
We Have Received a "Going Concern" Opinion from Our Independent Accountants and
May Be Forced to Sell or Merge Our Business or Face Bankruptcy Unless We Are
Able to Immediately Raise Capital to Fund Our Near Term Cash Needs.
The report of Lazar Levine & Felix LLP covering the consolidated financial
statements for fiscal 2001 contains an explanatory paragraph that states that
the Company's recurring losses from operations and accumulated deficit raise
substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The
consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
result from the outcome of that uncertainty. The Company will need to raise more
money to continue to finance our operations. The Company may not be able to
obtain additional financing on acceptable terms, or at all. Any failure to raise
additional financing will likely place the Company in significant financial
jeopardy. The going concern opinion by our independent auditors may adversely
impact our dealings with third parties, such as customers, suppliers and
creditors, because of concerns about our financial condition.
The going concern modification is contained in an explanatory paragraph to the
Independent Accountants' Report that also references note 3 to the consolidated
financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2001. Note 3 states that the
following factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a
going concern: (i) we have generated net losses for the years ended June 30,
2001, 2000 and 1999 and have generated an accumulated deficit of $ 71.7 million
as of June 30, 2001, (ii) we have historically funded operations with the
proceeds from the sale of preferred and common stock and (iii) we have not
generated positive cash flows from operations in either of the three years in
the period ended June 30, 2001.
We anticipate that we will have insufficient working capital to fund our near
term cash needs unless we are able to raise additional capital in the near
future. Any failure to obtain an adequate and timely amount of additional
capital on commercially reasonable terms will have a material adverse effect on
our business, financial condition and the results of operations, including our
viability as an enterprise, and we may be forced to sell or merge our business
or face bankruptcy unless we are able to timely raise additional capital.
Our Future Success Depends on the Success of Recently Introduced VocalWare
Products
Our success depends almost entirely on the success of our VocalWare product
line. The VocalWare products have not yet been and may never be widely accepted
in the market. We cannot be assured that we will establish a market for
VocalWare products or establish our
15
credibility in that market. The market may elect to embrace alternative products
or service solutions to satisfy the need for communication between the corporate
headquarters and workers who are away from their headquarters. The Be There!
system which was the predecessor to VocalWare had very limited success and
failed to generate significant revenue since it was released in 1997. The
majority of our historical revenue has come from products other than Be
There!/VocalWare, and we are no longer manufacturing or selling those other
products. In March 2000, we sold our network multiplexer business segment to
concentrate all our efforts on the VocalWare product line. Our inability to
penetrate our target markets and increase VocalWare sales would adversely affect
our business and operations.
Our Dependence on Third Party Manufacturers and Third Party Component Suppliers
Increases Potential Manufacturing Problems and Adversely Affect Our Customer
Relationships and Operating Results
In fiscal year 2001 we outsourced all of our manufacturing of our products.
Because of this reliance on third party manufacturers we cannot always exercise
direct control over manufacturing quality and costs. We use third party
component suppliers to provide components for our manufacturing of our products.
Because of this reliance on third party component suppliers, we can experience
delays in the manufacturing of our products based on external demands the third
party component suppliers may face in component allocations, component shortages
and component suppliers financial viability. We may also have problems with
production schedules of our products because of other demands placed on the
third party manufacturers and component suppliers.
We May Not Be Able to Respond Effectively to Rapid Technological Change in Our
Industry
The rapid pace of technological change may prevent us from developing and
marketing new products, enhancing our existing products, or responding
effectively to emerging industry standards or new product introductions by
others. Our future success will be largely dependent on our ability to enhance
our existing products and to develop and introduce successful new products.
Rapidly changing technology, emerging industry standards, product proliferation
and short product life cycles characterize the market for our products. As the
technical complexity of new products increases, it may become increasingly
difficult to introduce new products quickly and according to schedule. Delays in
developing or shipping new or enhanced products could adversely affect our
operating results.
We May Not Be Able to Compete Effectively with Companies Having Greater
Resources
The communications industry is intensely competitive. Several of our existing
and potential competitors have far more extensive financial, engineering,
product development, manufacturing, and marketing resources than we have. As a
result, these competitors may be able to respond more quickly to new or emerging
technologies and changes in customer requirements, or to devote much greater
resources to the development, promotion, and sale of their products and services
than we can. Many of these competitors have far greater brand recognition, which
places us at a competitive disadvantage for product acceptance with an
established competitor. In addition, some competitors have a lower cost
structure that gives them a competitive advantage on the basis of price due to
their financial condition and purchasing power. There is a growing array of
solutions for communication between the corporate headquarters and remote
workers, presenting a variety of alternatives to our VocalWare products. We
expect new
16
competing alternatives to arise as new technologies develop. There can be no
assurance that consumers will choose our solution.
Our Business Could Suffer if We Lose Key Personnel or Cannot Attract Qualified
Personnel
Our success is dependent largely on the skills, experience and performance of
key management, sales and technical personnel. We are especially dependent on
our senior officers and VocalWare products sales executives. Michael McDonnell
resigned his positions as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company
and as a member of our Board of Directors on July 11, 2001, and we do not yet
know the extent to which his departure will adversely affect our business. James
G. Scogin, our chief financial officer since December 1999, has succeeded Mr.
McDonnell as President and Mr. Scogin has no prior experience as the president
or chief executive officer of the Company. We have also reduced our staff to six
full time employees to reduce our monthly cash expenditures. We do not yet know
the extent to which this reduction in staff will adversely affect our business.
We are also dependent on key technical personnel to introduce new products and
to remain in the forefront of technological advances. Due to the complexity of
our product, the loss of key personnel affects us in the time it would take to
replace the personnel and train them in our product, if we could replace them at
all. None of our senior executives or other employees has employment contracts
with us and may leave our employ at any time. We do not have any insurance on
our employees. Our future success will also depend on our ability to attract
highly skilled personnel. Competition for qualified personnel is intense in our
industry and we may not be able to retain our key employees or attract and
retain other qualified personnel.
We Depend upon Our Proprietary Technology and We May Not Be Able to Adequately
Protect It
Intellectual property laws of the United States and foreign countries may not be
adequate to protect our proprietary rights. Because our success depends in part
on our technological expertise and proprietary technologies, the loss of our
proprietary rights could have a material adverse effect on our business. We rely
on trade secret protection and, to a lesser extent, on patents and copyrights to
protect our proprietary technologies. These steps may not be adequate to deter
misappropriation or infringement of our proprietary technologies. Competitors
may also independently develop technologies that are similar or superior to our
technology. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect
proprietary rights to the same extent, as do the laws of the United States. We
have in the past and may in the future be involved in intellectual property
litigation, which could adversely affect our intellectual property rights, could
be costly, and could divert management's attention away from the business. We
may be required to bring or defend against litigation to enforce our patents, to
protect our trademarks, trade secrets, and other intellectual property rights,
to defend against infringement claims, to resolve disputes under technology
license arrangements, and to determine the scope and validity of our proprietary
rights or those of others. Our limited resources may limit our ability to bring
or defend against intellectual property litigation. Adverse determinations in
litigation, including litigation we initiate, could result in the loss of our
proprietary rights, subject us to significant liabilities, require us to seek
licenses from third parties, or prevent us from manufacturing or selling our
products.
17
Our Levels of Inventory Could Adversely Affect Our Liquidity and Viability or
Increase the Risk of Inventory Write-Offs
Our business and financial condition could be materially adversely affected if
we do not effectively manage purchasing activities in the face of uncertain
revenue levels. In the past we have substantially increased our inventory levels
to meet anticipated shipment requirements. Increased levels of inventory without
corresponding sales could adversely affect our cash flow and increase the risk
of inventory write-offs pertaining to slow moving or obsolete product.
Failure of Our Products to Meet FCC and other Regulatory Standards Could Delay
the Introduction of New Products or Require Us to Modify Existing Products
The failure of our products to conform to the regulations established by the
Federal Communications Commission or similar foreign regulatory bodies or to
meet applicable testing requirements could adversely affect our business. The
FCC and foreign regulators regulate aspects of our products. Our products must
typically be tested before they are sold. Foreign authorities often establish
telecommunications standards different from those in the United States, making
it difficult and more time consuming to obtain the required regulatory
approvals. A significant delay in obtaining regulatory approvals could delay the
introduction of our products into the market and adversely affect operating
results. In addition, changes in regulations or requirements applicable to our
products could affect the demand for our products or result in the need to
modify products, either of which could involve substantial costs or delays in
sales and adversely affect our operating results.
Our Common Stock has been Delisted by The NASDAQ National Market
Effective July 11, 2001, our common stock was delisted by The Nasdaq National
Market due to our failure to pay overdue annual and additional listing fees in
the amount of $44,125 and our inability to meet the minimum bid price
requirements for continued listing. Effective November 6, 2001, our common stock
was dropped from the OTCBB for failure to timely file reports required to be
filed by Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Our common
stock continues to be traded in the "pink sheets" under the symbol "RACE". We
can provide no assurance that an active public trading market for our common
stock will be re-established.
The Issuance of Stock Pursuant To The 6% and 10% Convertible Debentures May
Substantially Dilute the Interests of Other Security Holders Because the Number
of Shares the Company Will Sell Depends upon the Trading Price of the Shares
During Each Draw Down Period.
The shares issuable to Grenville pursuant to the equity line of credit will be
issued at a 17.5% discount to the average daily price of the our common stock.
The number of shares that the Company will sell is directly related to the
trading price of its common stock during each draw down period. As the price of
the Company's common stock decreases, and if the Company decides to draw down on
the equity line of credit, it will be required to issue more shares of our
common stock for any given dollar amount invested by Grenville. Accordingly, the
shares of common stock then outstanding will be diluted.
18
The Issuance of Stock Pursuant to the 6% and 10% Convertible Debentures May
Substantially Dilute the Interests of Other Security Holders Because the Number
of Shares the Company Will Issue upon Conversion Will Depend upon the Trading
Price of Our Common Stock at the Time of Conversion if the Trading Price Is Less
Than the Set Price of the Debenture.
The holders of our 6% convertible debentures may elect to convert the debentures
into shares of our common stock at any time at a discount of the lesser of 110%
of the market price of our common stock as of the date of issuance of the
debentures and 50% of the average of the 5 lowest closing bid prices of our
common stock during the 20 business days immediately preceding the date notice
of conversion is given to us by the holder. The table set forth below outlines
the number of shares of common stock that would be issuable upon conversion in
full of the debentures at several hypothetical conversion prices. The table also
sets forth the total number of shares the investors would beneficially own at
such hypothetical adjustment prices, and assuming exercise in full of the
warrants, and the percentage that such shares would constitute of our resulting
outstanding common stock, assuming the investors had not purchased or sold any
of our securities.

would convert at the fixed conversion price of, as to $500,000 principal

principal amount of convertible debentures, $0.0715 per share, as to
$130,000 principal amount of convertible debentures, $0.0561 per share and,
as to $277,499 principal amount of convertible debentures, $0.0484 per
share.
The Sale of Material Amounts of the Company's Common Stock Could Reduce the
Price of Its Common Stock and Encourage Short Sales.
As the Company sells shares of its common stock pursuant to the equity line of
credit and then Grenville sells the common stock, the Company's common stock
price may decrease due to the additional shares in the market. The price may
also decrease if the holders of the convertible debentures elect to convert the
debentures into common stock and to sell the common stock. As the price of our
common stock decreases, and if the Company decides to draw down on the equity
line of credit, it will be required to issue more shares of its common stock for
any given dollar amount invested by Grenville, subject to a designated minimum
threshold price specified
19
by us. This may encourage short sales, which could place further downward
pressure on the price of the Company's common stock.
Our Stock Price is Highly Volatile
The market price of our common stock in the past has been highly volatile, and
likely will continue to be highly volatile. This is caused in part by the
relatively low aggregate market value of our publicly traded shares. Events or
circumstances may cause a much greater percentage change in the market price of
our shares than the market price of a company with a higher aggregate market
value. There are many events or circumstances, including those highlighted in
these risk factors, which could cause the market price of our stock to
fluctuate. Many of those events or circumstances are outside our control. In
addition, stock prices for many technology companies fluctuate widely for
reasons unrelated to their business, financial condition or operating results.
Our Business May Be Adversely Affected by Class Action Litigation Due to Stock
Price Volatility
The filing of securities class action litigation against companies often occurs
following periods of volatility in the market price of a company's securities.
We are currently and may in the future be a target of securities litigation. See
"Item 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS." Securities litigation could have a material adverse
effect on our business if it is filed against us because it could result in
substantial costs and a diversion of management's attention and resources. It
may also adversely affect our ability to raise capital, our sales efforts, and
our ability to attract a strategic partner.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
In June 2000, the Company's corporate headquarters, sales and marketing, product
development and engineering were relocated to Plano, Texas and consist of one
building totaling approximately 10,000 square feet of leased space. Also, the
Company had a facility for distribution, co-engineering, accounting and sales
and technical support in one building totaling approximately 21,000 square feet
of leased space in San Antonio, Texas. In August of 2000, a second building
located in San Antonio, Texas of approximately 29,000 square feet was subleased.
The building located in Plano, Texas, is subject to a five-year lease that
commenced in June 2000. The buildings located in San Antonio, Texas, consisting
of approximately 21,000 and 29,000 square feet, are subject to ten- and
seven-year leases, respectively, which commenced in April 1996. In August 2001,
the Company terminated its lease for 21,000 square feet in San Antonio, Texas
and leased approximately 1,000 square feet in San Antonio, Texas for
distribution and accounting. This lease is on a month-to-month term. The Company
believes that its existing facilities are adequate to meet current requirements,
including foreseeable short-term requirements to support the growth of its
VocalWare product line.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In May 2001, the Company, two of our executive officers and one of our
significant shareholders were sued in the United States District Court for the
Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division, by Robert Plotkin, a
Chicago-based attorney, and several of Mr. Plotkin's relatives and family
trusts, who are all shareholders of the Company. The complaint alleges that the
plaintiffs were induced to purchase shares of our common stock based upon
alleged misrepresentations and
20
omissions of material fact. Discovery has not commenced, but we believe the
lawsuit is without merit and intend to vigorously defend The Company against
these allegations.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
None.

As of December 10, 2001, the last sale price of the Company's Common Stock was
$.05 as reported on the OTCBB. As of November 30, 2001, there were 231
shareholders of record, although the Company believes that the number of
beneficial owners is significantly greater.
The Company has never declared or paid cash dividends on the Common Stock. The
Company presently intends to retain earnings, if any, for the operation and
development of its business and does not anticipate paying any cash dividends on
the Common Stock in the foreseeable future. Future earnings, capital
requirements, the financial condition and prospects of the Company, and other
relevant factors as determined by the Board of Directors, will influence the
determination of any future cash dividend decisions. There is no assurance that
the Company will pay any dividends in the future.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Results of Operations
From its inception in 1983, the Company has designed, manufactured, and marketed
advanced technology communication products. The Company's strategy is to provide
innovative, first-to-market, high-value-added solutions to meet the needs of
knowledge workers who are remote from their headquarters office.
During fiscal year 2001, the Company completed the development of the VocalWare
IP integrated server by integrating the dial up remote access solution of the Be
There product line with the broadband remote access solution of the VocalWare
product line. This solution allows users to access their office voice, e-mail,
data and fax resources over any access medium with all of the leading
manufactures of voice and data products. The Company entered into beta program
agreements with a major global carrier, a major cable provider, a major airline
and an agency of the federal government for the VocalWare IP integrated server.
From the beta agreements the Company shipped 35 VocalWare servers and 840
VocalWare user licenses for approximately $701,000 and entered into an exclusive
licensing rights agreement for approximately $365,000 with LYNUX. In January
2001, these servers were returned based on non-payment from LYNUX and the
Company notified LYNUX that the exclusive licensing rights agreement had been
terminated. The Company in the quarter ended December 31, 2000 reversed the
accounts receivable and deferred revenue for approximately $365,000. During the
second quarter of fiscal 2001, the Company shipped $625,000 of servers and user
licenses to a reseller. This transaction was not recorded as revenue as the
transaction did not meet the Company's criteria for revenue recognition. The
reseller was given extended terms over normal reseller agreements. In July 2001,
the reseller returned the servers and user licenses back to the Company.
The Company did not achieve its goals in revenue for the fiscal year. This was
based on the following factors. (i) A longer sales cycle than originally
planned. The Company originally planned for a sales cycle of 30 days where the
potential customer would place an order after a 30-day trial period. In reality
the sales cycle can be as long as one year. (ii) A decline in the general
economic conditions in the telecommunications industry and decreases in spending
for information technology. (iii) The Company's inability to show its viability
as a going concern. Potential customers have concerns about the Company's
ability as a going concern. The VocalWare IP product line is considered a
strategic asset of the customer and questions concerning the viability of the
Company can delay or terminate potential orders.
The Company's goal of returning to profitability and developing a more
dependable revenue base depends on the success of the VocalWare IP product line.
Although the Company has not recorded significant revenue from sales of the
VocalWare IP product line, the Company has expended substantial resources on its
development and market introduction.
Fiscal 2001 Compared to Fiscal 2000 for Continuing Operations
Total revenue from continuing operations in fiscal 2001 decreased 80.2% to
approximately to $63,000 from approximately $316,000 in fiscal 2000. This
decrease is attributable to the following conditions: 1) the financial condition
of the Company as a viable ongoing business, 2) the longer than expected sales
cycle of placing the product with a potential customer and receiving an order,
and 3) the changes in general economic conditions and specific market
24
conditions in the communications industries and the overall decrease in
information technology spending.
Engineering and product development expenses have increased by 51.7% to
approximately $5.0 million in fiscal 2001 from approximately $3.3 million in
fiscal 2000. This increase was primarily due to outside contract engineering
expenditures and workforce increases for continued development and enhancements
of the VocalWare IP products.
Sales and marketing expenses increased 81.7% during fiscal 2001 to approximately
$4.8 million from approximately $2.6 million in fiscal 2000. This increase was
primarily due to increased headcount in the sales and marketing staff and the
associated travel which were both necessary to properly market, coordinate,
distribute, train and service VocalWare IP products.
General and administrative expenses increased 67.1% during fiscal 2001 to
approximately $5.2 million from approximately $3.1 million in fiscal 2000. This
increase reflected increased staffing that management believed was necessary to
support recent organizational growth as well as impairment adjustments for
assets no longer deemed viable by the Company.
Income tax benefits related to losses for fiscal year 2001 are not recognized
because the utilization of such benefits cannot be assured. Accordingly, a 100%
valuation allowance has been recorded against the Company's deferred income tax
asset. As of June 30, 2001, the Company had federal and state tax net operating
loss carryforwards of approximately $70,980,000 that expire beginning in 2008.
The Internal Revenue code section 382 limits NOL carryforwards when an ownership
change of more than 50% of the value of stock in a loss corporation occurs
within a three-year period. Accordingly, due to such ownership change, the
ability to utilize remaining NOL carryforwards may be significantly restricted.
Fiscal 2000 Compared to Fiscal 1999 for Continuing Operations
In March 2000, the Company sold its network multiplexer line to HT
Communications. Also during the second quarter of fiscal 1999, the Company did
not bid on additional custom modem business. Therefore, the following discussion
is limited to the Company's continuing operations of its VocalWare IP business
segment. Discontinued operations are separately discussed below.
Total revenue from continuing operations in fiscal 2000 decreased 62.2% to
$316,000 from $836,000 in fiscal 1999. The decrease is primarily due to
decreased shipments to Sabratek Inc, as a result of that customer's bankruptcy
filing and declines in custom modem revenue from fiscal 1999. Also impacting
revenue is the Company's decision to discontinue the first generation Be There!
remote access system in favor of the Company's new generation of VocalWare IP
products which were scheduled to be released throughout fiscal 2001.
Gross profit (loss) margins for fiscal 2000 from continued operations decreased
to (140.9)% from (83.4)% for fiscal 1999. The decline in gross margin from
continuing operations is directly related to decreased shipments to Sabratek
Inc. and manufacturing variances caused by the decreased volumes.
Engineering and product development expenses had increased by 38.1% to $3.3
million in fiscal 2000 from $2.4 million in fiscal 1999. This increase was
primarily due to workforce increases and outside project development contracts
associated with development expenditures necessary for the Company's new
VocalWare IP product line.
25
Sales and marketing expenses increased 35.8% during fiscal 2000 to $2.6 million
from $1.9 million in fiscal 1999. This increase was primarily due to the Company
ramping up its sales and marketing forces in anticipation of delivering its new
VocalWare IP product line to the market in early fiscal 2001.
General and administrative expenses decreased 27.3% during fiscal 2000 to $3.1
million from $4.3 million in fiscal 1999. This decrease was attributable to
decreases in non-cash expenses associated with a consulting agreement and
non-cash legal expenses associated with a patent infringement lawsuit. The
decrease is offset in part by severance and retirement packages for two officers
totaling approximately $480,000.
Income tax benefits related to losses for fiscal year 2000 are not recognized
because the utilization of such benefits cannot be assured. Accordingly, a 100%
valuation allowance was recorded against the Company's deferred income tax
asset. As of June 30, 2000, the Company had federal and state tax net operating
loss carryforwards of approximately $53,664,000, which expire beginning in 2009.
The Internal Revenue code section 382 limits NOL carryforwards when an ownership
change of more than 50% of the value of stock in a loss corporation occurs
within a three-year period. Accordingly, due to such ownership changes, the
ability to utilize remaining NOL carryforwards may be significantly restricted.
Discontinued Operations and HT Communications Receivable
The majority of the Company's revenue in fiscal 1999 and in prior years resulted
from operations that the Company has now exited. Revenues from discontinued
operations decreased 64.0% in fiscal 2000 to $720,000 from $1,999,000 in fiscal
1999 as a result of the Company's decision to exit that market. The Company sold
its network multiplexer business to HT Communications in March 2000 for
$350,000. The Company to date has received approximately $6,000 in principal
payments and $4,500 in royalty payments. The Company is in the process of filing
suit against HT Communications demanding payment on the past due balances. Due
to defaults upon the agreement between the Company and HT communications, the
Company removed the unrecognized portion of the deferred gain in the amount of
$331,601 from its books along with the associated note receivable
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Operating losses have had and continue to have a substantial negative effect on
the Company's cash balance. At June 30, 2001, the Company had approximately
$9,000 in cash and cash equivalents, compared to approximately $11,059,000 at
June 30, 2000.
During fiscal year 2001, the Company increased its inventory in response to
business opportunities forecasted and the lead-time required to receive the
material components. The Company's inventory at retail is valued at $4,000,000
to $7,000,000 depending on the size and type of server configuration.
The build up in inventory was the result of the Company having to procure unique
key components essential for the deployment of the VocalWare server.
Approximately 400 units of a unique component board where procured during the
fiscal year along with nearly 210 chassis units that make up the VocalWare
server. The Company anticipates that the number of units on hand at the end of
the fiscal year will be sufficient for the immediate future to meet any need
that
26
current potential customers would required during fiscal 2002. The general slow
down in the economy and the longer than anticipated sales cycle however make it
difficult for the Company to estimate additional requirements. The inventory
value at year ending June 30,2001 is net of inventory reserves of approximately
$1.0M.
The Company does not believe that current cash will be sufficient to meet the
Company's current and ongoing operating expenses and capital requirements and it
is continuing to explore financing alternatives.
Going Concern Uncertainty
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which
contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern. As shown in the
financial statements, the Company incurred a substantial loss of $15,932,893 for
the year ended June 30, 2001 and has incurred losses for each of the preceding 2
years. At June 30, 2001, current liabilities exceed current assets by
$1,274,179, total liabilities exceed total assets by $561,814 and the
accumulated deficit aggregated $71,685,087. In view of these matters,
realization of a major portion of the assets in the accompanying balance sheet
is dependent upon the Company's ability to meet its financing requirements, and
the success of its future operations.
In addition, effective July 11, 2001, the Company's common stock was delisted by
The Nasdaq National Market due to a failure to pay overdue annual and additional
listing fees in the amount of $44,125 and the inability to meet the minimum bid
price requirements for continued listing.
Operating losses have had and continue to have a substantial negative effect on
the Company's cash balance. The Company's goal of returning to profitability and
developing a more dependable revenue base relies on the success of the VocalWare
IP product line. To successfully penetrate the target markets, the Company
expects that significant additional resources will need to be expended in order
to expand its sales and marketing infrastructure and operation systems, and to
finance inventory and receivables.
The Company has historically funded operations with the proceeds from the sale
of equity securities and has not generated positive cash flows from operations
for the past three years. The Company will need to raise more money to continue
to finance its operations and may not be able to obtain additional financing on
acceptable terms, or at all. Any failure to raise additional financing will
likely place the Company in significant financial jeopardy.
During July 2001 (subsequent to the balance sheet date) the Company decreased
its overhead through payroll reductions and related benefit costs (reducing its
workforce from 77 employees to 6 employees). Management is also currently
consolidating operations into one location thereby effecting savings on rent and
associated facility costs. The Company believes that these cost reductions and
the raising of additional financing will allow them to continue in existence.
Financing Activities
In March 2001, the Company received net proceeds of approximately $2,000,000 for
issuance of common stock and warrants. (See Note 10 of Notes to the Financial
Statements)
27
In May 2001, the Company issued 10% secured convertible promissory notes and
common stock purchase warrants for $700,000. (See Note 9 of Notes to the
Financial Statements)
6% Convertible Debentures
On June 12, 2001, the Company signed an agreement to place up to $1 million in
6% convertible debentures and warrants to two institutional investors. The
parties amended the agreement on July 17, 2001 and on October 2, 2001. The
convertible debentures have an interest rate of 6% per annum and mature 3 years
from their date of issuance. Under the terms of the convertible debentures, the
holders can elect at any time prior to maturity to convert the balance
outstanding on the debentures into shares of our common stock at the lesser of a
fixed price that represents a 10% premium to the closing bid price of our common
stock at the time the debentures were issued and 50% of the average of the 5
lowest closing bid prices of our common stock during the 25 business days
immediately preceding the conversion date. Under the agreement as amended, the
Company issued to the investors $500,000 in convertible debentures on June 18,
2001, $240,000 in convertible debentures on July 30, 2001, $130,000 in
convertible debentures on September 6, 2001 and $277,499 on October 18, 2001. On
June 18, 2001, we also issued the investors common stock purchase warrants to
purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.14.
On October 18, 2001 the parties amended the agreement to increase the amount of
convertible debentures purchased by the investors by $147,499 and the Company
granted to the investors a security interest in all of the assets of the Company
covering all prior and future indebtedness of the Company to the investors. We
are obligated to file a registration statement for the shares issuable upon
conversion of the convertible debentures and warrants with the SEC. We were
obligated to cause the registration statement to be declared effective by
October 2, 2001 and are currently accruing liquidated damages at the rate of 2%
of the outstanding principal amount of the convertible debentures per month.
These penalties may be paid in cash or, at the Investors' option, in common
stock. In addition, if the Company issues additional shares of common stock,
then antidilution provisions contained in the convertible debentures may reduce
the conversion price of the shares issued to the Investors so as to prevent
dilution of the Investors' investment in the Company.
Equity Line of Credit
On June 13, 2001, the Company signed what is sometimes termed an equity line of
credit or an equity draw down facility with Grenville Finance Ltd. In general,
Grenville has committed up to $30 million to purchase our common stock over a 36
month period beginning after and during the period a resale registration
statement registering the shares purchased pursuant to the equity line of credit
is effective. During the periods the resale registration statement is effective,
we may request a draw of up to $1 million of that money, subject to a formula
based on average stock prices and average trading volumes, setting the maximum
amount of any request for any given draw. The amount of money that Grenville
will provide to us and the number of shares we will issue to Grenville in return
for that money is settled twice during a 22 day trading period following the
draw down request based on the formula in the stock purchase agreement.
Grenville receives a 17.5% discount to the market price of our common stock
during the 22 business day period and we receive the settled amount of the draw
down. We are not permitted to exercise another draw down during a pending 22
business day period. In addition, we issued a warrant to Grenville to purchase
up to 16,366,612 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.07027.

Disclosures About Market Risk
The following discusses our exposure to market risk related to changes in
interest rates, equity prices and foreign currency exchange rates. This
discussion contains forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and
uncertainties. Actual results could vary materially as a result of a number of
factors including those set forth in the "Certain Business Risk" section.
At June 30, 2001, we had approximately of $1.1 million of interest bearing
indebtedness. The interest rates are fixed and therefore, we do not have any
significant interest rate risk.
At June 30, 2001 we did not own any equity investments. Therefore, we did not
have any direct equity price risk.
Substantially all Company revenues are realized in U.S. dollars and no
significant asset or cash account balances are maintained in currencies other
than the United States dollar. Therefore, we do not have any significant direct
foreign currency exchange rate risk.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
Board of Directors and Shareholders
DATA RACE, Inc.
Plano, Texas
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of DATA RACE, Inc. as of June 30,
2001, and the related statements of operations, shareholders' equity, and cash
flows for the year 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 audit.
We conducted our audit 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 audit provides 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 DATA RACE, Inc. as of June 30,
2001, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year 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 shown in the financial statements,
the Company incurred a net loss of $15,932,893 for the year ended June 30, 2001
and has incurred substantial losses for each of the preceding 2 years. At June
30, 2001, current liabilities exceed current assets by $1,274,179 and total
liabilities exceed total assets by $561,814. These factors and others discussed
in Note 3, 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 assets, or the amounts and
classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company
cannot continue in existence.

DATA RACE, Inc.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2001, 2000, and 1999
1) Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Description of Business
DATA RACE, Inc. ("Data Race" or the "Company"), currently doing business as IP
AXESS, provides integrated IP based remote work solutions over multiple access
media. The Company's VocalWare(TM) IP client/server product line provides users
in remote locations with simultaneous access to critical corporate resources
including phone, fax, Internet, and e-mail over a single connection via: DSL,
cable modem, LAN, Frame Relay, ATM or high speed dial-up through VPN, local ISP
POP, or PSTN. The Company, after exiting the network multiplexer business in
January 2000, currently operates in one business segment.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with original
maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable as shown is net of allowance for doubtful accounts of
approximately $2,000 and $500 at June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
Inventory
Inventory is valued at the lower of cost (principally standard cost which
approximates first-in, first-out) or market (net realizable value). Costs
include materials, labor, overhead, and subcontract charges as applicable.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Equipment under capital leases is
stated at the present value of minimum lease payments. Major renewals and
betterments are charged to the property accounts while replacements,
maintenance, and repairs that do not improve or extend the lives of the
respective assets are expensed currently. Depreciation of property and equipment
is provided at amounts calculated to amortize the cost of the assets over their
useful economic lives using the straight-line method for financial reporting
purposes and accelerated methods for income tax purposes. Equipment held under
capital leases and leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the
lease term or estimated useful life of the asset.
Convertible Preferred Securities
The beneficial conversion features of the Series A, C, D, E and F Convertible
Preferred Stock ("Preferred Stock") have been recognized by allocating a portion
of the proceeds to additional paid-in capital. The amount allocated to
additional paid-in capital consists of the conversion
42
discount on the Preferred Stock and the value attributed to the warrants. The
conversion discount is calculated as of the date of issuance as the difference
between the conversion price and the fair value of the common stock into which
the security is convertible. Because the security provides for more than one
conversion rate, the computation is made using the conversion terms most
beneficial to the investor, regardless of the actual discount applied upon
conversion. The value of the warrants is calculated using the Black-Scholes
option pricing model and may not correspond to a market value.
The calculated intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion features of the
Preferred Stock, the offering costs and the premium results in non-cash charges
to the loss available to common shareholders in the computation of loss per
common share over the conversion period. As a result, approximately $ 0,
$236,000, and $3,889,000 in non-cash charges are reflected in the loss per
common share for the years ended June 30, 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company's financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash
equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and notes payable. The book
value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, notes receivable,
accounts payable and notes payable are representative of their respective fair
values due to the short-term maturity of those instruments.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred
tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences
attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of
existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating
loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the
years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or
settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax
rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is generally recognized upon direct sale and shipment of products to
end-user customers or when contractual services have been provided to end-user
customers, title has passed to the end-user customer, the fee and terms are
fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured. Such method is
in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101, Revenue Recognition
in Financial Statements. Revenue is generally recognized upon reseller
(indirect) sale of products when title has passed to the reseller, a reseller
agreement exists, the fee and terms are fixed or determinable, and
collectibility is reasonably assured. The Company does have a reservation of
title on resellers where the products are delivered to reseller's location or
reseller's end-user location outside the United States. The Company reserves
title in the products until either: a) reseller pays in full for the products;
or b) reseller sells the product to a third party at which time title passes to
the third party. The Company, in most reseller agreements, has an inventory
balancing provision, which generally gives the reseller the opportunity to
balance its inventory by returning for credit up to 20% of the value of the
products shipped during a quarter. The Company will record a liability for up to
20% on sales by resellers for the inventory balancing provision. The Company
also has price protection for most resellers where products shipped to resellers
whose price have been decreased will be price protected if the resellers
products are unopened and shipped to reseller 180 days or less prior to the
effective date of price decrease. The reseller must submit a claim within 30
days of the effective date of the price decrease to receive credit in the amount
of the price decrease multiplied by the qualifying units.
Revenue from service obligations and licensing agreements are deferred and
recognized ratably over the period of the obligation or agreement. The Company
recognizes revenue and gross
43
profit from evaluation units shipped only upon receipt of payment or upon
customer acceptance and reasonably assured collection.
Comprehensive Income
The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement No. 130,
"Reporting Comprehensive Income", in June of 1997. This statement established
standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components
in a full set of general-purpose financial statements. For all periods
presented, no elements of comprehensive income exist other than loss from
operations.
Warranty Expense
The Company generally offers one or two year warranty coverage on the majority
of its products. Warranty costs are accrued and expensed when revenue is
recognized based upon the Company's experience with such costs. As of June 30,
2001, the Company had no accrual for warranty costs.
Research and Development
All engineering and product research and development expenditures are charged
against operations as incurred. Research and development costs charged to
continuing operations aggregated approximately $5,000,000, $3,293,000 and
$2,385,000 in fiscal 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of
Long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles are reviewed for
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to
be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset
to undiscounted future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If
such assets are considered to be impaired on this basis, the impairment loss to
be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the
assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are
reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.
Stock Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value
method described in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB No. 25") and related interpretations (including
FASB Interpretation No. 44). Accordingly, compensation cost for stock options is
measured as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the Company's
Common Stock at the date of the grant over the amount an employee must pay to
acquire the stock. The Company has adopted the disclosure requirements of SFAS
No. 123, "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation."
Equity instruments issued to non-employees that are fully vested and
non-forfeitable are measured at fair value at the issuance date and expensed in
the period over which the benefit is expected to be received. Equity instruments
issued to non-employees which are either unvested or forfeitable, for which
counter-party performance is required for the equity instrument to be earned are
measured initially at fair value and subsequently adjusted for changes in fair
value until the earlier of: (1) the date at which a commitment for performance
is required for performance by the counter-party to earn the equity instrument
is reached, or (2) the date of which the counter-party's performance is
complete.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Net loss per share of common stock is presented in accordance with the
provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128,
Earnings Per Share. Under SFAS No. 128, basic earnings/loss per share excludes
dilution for potentially dilutive securities and is computed by dividing income
or loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings/loss per share
reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other
contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock.
Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation of diluted
earnings/loss per share when their inclusion would be antidilutive. The Company
had approximately 3,434,000 and 2,734,000 options outstanding as of June 30,
2001 and 2000, respectively. The Company had no preferred stock outstanding as
of June 30, 2001 and 2000. As of June 30, 2001, the Company had warrants
outstanding to purchase 20,575,180
44
[shares of common stock. As of June 30, 2000 the Company had warrants
outstanding to purchase 2,808,139 shares of common stock.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statements of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, Business Combinations, and No. 142,
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2001. Under the new rules, the pooling of interest method of
accounting is no longer allowed for business combinations and goodwill and other
intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives will no longer be amortized
but will be subject to annual impairment tests in accordance with the
Statements. Other intangible assets will continue to be amortized over their
useful lives.
In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statements of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, (FASB 144) which is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2001. FASB 144 supercedes FASB 121 on the
impairment of long-lived assets and certain reporting provision of APB 30
dealing with the disposal of a business segment.
2) Discontinued Operations
The Board of Directors approved discontinuing the network multiplexer product
business segment in January 2000. Accordingly, the financial statements for the
years ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 reflect the operations of the multiplexer
product business as a discontinued operation. The Company sold its network
multiplexer business to HT Communications in March 2000 for $350,000. The
Company to date has received approximately $6,000 in principal payments and
$4,500 in royalty payments. The Company is in the process of filing suit against
HT Communications demanding payment on the past due balances. Due to defaults
upon the agreement between the Company and HT communications, the Company
removed the unrecognized portion of the deferred gain in the amount of $331,601
from its books along with the associated note receivable balance.
3) Going Concern Uncertainty
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which
contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern. As shown in the
financial statements, the Company incurred a substantial loss of $15,932,893 for
the year ended June 30, 2001 and has incurred losses for each of the preceding 2
years. At June 30, 2001, current liabilities exceed current assets by
$1,274,179, total liabilities exceed total assets by $561,814 and the
accumulated deficit aggregated $71,685,087. In view of these matters,
realization of a major portion of the assets in the accompanying balance sheet
is dependent upon the Company's ability to meet its financing requirements, and
the success of its future operations.
In addition, effective July 11, 2001, the Company's common stock was delisted by
The Nasdaq National Market due to a failure to pay overdue annual and additional
listing fees in the amount of $44,125 and the inability to meet the minimum bid
price requirements for continued listing.
Operating losses have had and continue to have a substantial negative effect on
the Company's cash balance. The Company's goal of returning to profitability and
developing a more dependable revenue base relies on the success of the VocalWare
IP product line. To successfully penetrate the target markets, the Company
expects that significant additional resources will need to be expended in order
to expand its sales and marketing infrastructure and operation systems, and to
finance inventory and receivables.
45
The Company has historically funded operations with the proceeds from the sale
of equity securities and has not generated positive cash flows from operations
for the past three years. The Company will need to raise more money to continue
to finance its operations and may not be able to obtain additional financing on
acceptable terms, or at all. Any failure to raise additional financing will
likely place the Company in significant financial jeopardy.
During July 2001 (subsequent to the balance sheet date) the Company decreased
its overhead through payroll reductions and related benefit costs (reducing its
workforce from 77 employees to 6 employees). Management is also currently
consolidating operations into one location thereby effecting savings on rent and
associated facility costs. The Company believes that these cost reductions and
the raising of additional financing will allow them to continue in existence.
4) Accounts Receivable and Major Customers
During fiscal 2001 aggregate revenues from shipments to three customers
represented 85% of total revenues. Revenue from shipments to and fees from
Sabratek (a significant customer) represented 65.2% and 50% of revenue from
continuing operations for fiscal 2000 and 1999, respectively. Credit limits,
ongoing credit evaluation, and account-monitoring procedures are used by the
Company to minimize the risk of loss on accounts receivable. Generally,
collateral is not required. Export revenues were 4% of total revenue for fiscal
1999. Export revenues were not significant during fiscal 2001 or fiscal 2000.
5) Inventory
Inventory consists of the following:
June 30, 2001 June 30, 2000

=========== ===========
Due to lease termination at it's San Antonio, TX facility which occurred in
September 2001, subsequent to the close of its fiscal year 2001, the Company
elected to record asset impairment for the San Antonio leasehold improvements
resulting in a loss of $778,278. The Company also wrote off $402,700 in impaired
assets related to its inability to further proceed with the implementation of
its new e-business hardware and software solution. The total impairment loss of
$1,180,978, is included in General and Administration expenses.

Other .................................... 104,752 327,561
-------- --------
Total accrued expenses .............. $638,167 $960,346

Due to defaults upon the agreement between the Company and HT communications,
the Company removed the unrecognized portion of the deferred gain in the amount
of $331,601 from its books along with the associated note receivable (see Note
2)
8) Income Taxes
As a result of operating losses sustained, there was no income tax expense
(benefit) for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2001, 2000 and 1999. The tax
effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of the
deferred tax assets and liabilities at June 30, 2001 and 2000 are presented
below:

Less valuation allowance ............................................ (25,935,700) (20,839,926)
------------ ------------
Net deferred tax asset .............................................. $ -- $ --
============ ============
The valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets increased by
approximately $5,096,000 and $3,040,000 during the years ended June 30, 2001 and
2000, respectively.
In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers
whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax
assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is
dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in
which those temporary differences become deductible. Based upon the level of
historical taxable income, management has provided a 100% valuation allowance
for the Company's deferred tax assets at June 30, 2001. The amount of the
deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could fluctuate in the near
term if estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period are
adjusted.
Reconciliation of the U.S. Federal statutory rate to the Company's effective tax
rate for each fiscal year is as follows:
2001 2000 1999
---- ---- ----
U. S. Federal statutory rate ............................... 34.0% 34.0% 34.0%
Increase (reduction) in income taxes resulting from:
Provision for valuation allowance .......................... (34.0) (34.0) (34.0)
---- ---- ----
Net effective tax rate ..................................... -- -- --

At June 30, 2001, the Company had net operating loss ("NOL") carryforwards for
federal and state income tax purposes of approximately $70,980,000, which expire
beginning in 2008. The Company also has research and experimentation credit
carryforwards for federal income tax purposes of approximately $678,000, which
began expiring in 2000, and alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards of
approximately $84,000. The Internal Revenue Code section 382 limits NOL and tax
credit carryforwards when an ownership change of more than fifty percent of the
value of stock in a loss corporation occurs within a three-year period. In
fiscal 1999, 1998 and 1997 the Company issued preferred stock that has since
been converted into common stock. Accordingly, the ability to utilize remaining
NOL and tax credit carryforwards may be significantly restricted.
9) Convertible Debentures
In May 2001, the Company issued one year, 10% secured convertible promissory
notes and 1,166,667 common stock purchase warrants for $700,000. The notes are
convertible at any time at the holders option into common stock at $0.30 per
share. The warrants are exercisable at a price of $0.30 per share through May
2006.
June 2001 Private Placement of Convertible Debentures
On June 12, 2001, the Company signed an agreement to place up to $1 million in
6% convertible debentures and warrants to two institutional investors. The
parties amended the agreement on July 17, 2001 and October 18, 2001. The
convertible debentures have an interest rate of 6% per annum and mature 3 years
from their date of issuance. Under the terms of the convertible debentures, the
holders can elect at any time prior to maturity to convert the balance
outstanding on the debentures into shares of Company common stock at the lesser
of a fixed price that represents a 10% premium to the closing bid price of
common stock at the time the debentures were issued and 50% of the average of
the 5 lowest closing bid prices of Company common stock during the 25 business
days immediately preceding the conversion date. Under the agreements, the
Company issued to the investors $500,000 in convertible debentures on June 18,
2001, $240,000 in convertible debentures on July 30, 2001, $130,000 in
convertible debentures on September 6, 2001 and $277,499, on October 18, 2001.
On June 18, 2001, the Company also issued to the investors common stock purchase
warrants to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price
of $0.14. On October 18, 2001 the parties amended the agreement to increase the
investment amount by $147,499 and the Company granted to the investors a
security interest in all of the assets of the Company covering all prior and
future indebtedness of the Company to the investors. The Company is obligated to
file a registration statement for the shares issuable upon conversion of the
convertible debentures and warrants with the SEC. The Company was also obligated
to cause the registration statement to be declared effective by October 2, 2001
and is currently accruing liquidated damages at the rate of 2% of the
outstanding principal amount of the convertible debentures per month. These
penalties may be paid in cash or, at the investors' option, in common stock. In
addition, if the Company issues additional shares of common stock, then
antidilution provisions contained in the convertible debentures may reduce the
conversion price of the shares issued to the investors so as to prevent dilution
of the their investment in the Company.

10) Shareholders' Equity
Equity Line of Credit
On June 13, 2001, the Company signed what is sometimes termed an equity line of
credit or an equity draw down facility with Grenville Finance Ltd. In general,
Grenville has committed up to $30 million to purchase our common stock over a 36
month period beginning after and during the period a resale registration
statement registering the shares purchased pursuant to the equity line of credit
is effective. During the periods the resale registration statement is effective,
the Company may request a draw of up to $1 million of that money, subject to a
formula based on average stock prices and average trading volumes, setting the
maximum amount of any request for any given draw. The amount of money that
Grenville will provide and the number of shares to be issued to Grenville in
return for that money is settled twice during a 22 day trading period following
the draw down request based on the formula in the stock purchase agreement.
Grenville receives a 17.5% discount to the market price of Company common stock
during the 22 day period and the Company receives the settled amount of the draw
down. In addition, the Company issued a warrant to Grenville to purchase up to
16,366,612 shares of Company common stock at an exercise price of $0.07027. In
July 2001 the company issued 500,000 shares related to private placement fees in
the amount of $25,000. The fees were for continued funding activities subsequent
to the close of the fiscal year 2001.
March 2001 Private Placement
On March 2, 2001, the Company completed a private placement of 3,047,620 shares
of its common stock, and warrants to purchase 304,762 shares of common stock to
Protius Overseas Limited, Keyway Investments Ltd., and Lionhart Investments
Ltd., for an aggregate price of $2,000,000. The warrants are exercisable at a
price of $0.9875 per share through March 2, 2006. The Company used the proceeds
from the private placement primarily for general corporate purposes.
The Company has agreed to file a registration statement under the Securities Act
of 1933, covering the resale of the common shares and the shares of common stock
issuable upon exercise of the warrants. The Company has incurred, and continues
to incur, certain penalties since the registration statement was not declared
effective by May 31, 2001. These penalties may be paid in cash or, at the
investors' option, in common stock. In addition, if the Company issues
additional shares of common stock prior to the effective date of the
registration statement, then antidilution provisions contained in the securities
purchase agreement may require the Company to issue additional shares of common
stock to the investors so as to prevent dilution of the investors' investment in
the Company.
In connection with the private placement, (i) the Company granted to the
Investors a right of first refusal to purchase additional securities issued by
the Company (subject to certain exceptions) prior to August 29, 2001 and (ii)
agreed to reduce to $0.9875 the exercise price of warrants to purchase an
aggregate of 1,265,317 shares of the Company's Common Stock issued in connection
with the Company's June 1999 and December 1999 private placements and to extend

its common stock, and warrants to purchase 693,888 shares of common stock to
three institutional investors for an aggregate price of $6,000,000. Each
investor purchased one-third of the securities issued in the private placement.
Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at an
exercise price of $4.02 through June 2001.
November 1998 Private Placement
In November 1998, the Company obtained a binding commitment for a private
placement (the "November Private Placement") of its restricted common stock and
common stock purchase warrants to up to five accredited investors, for an
aggregate price of $2,200,000. The purchase price for one share of common stock
and one warrant was $2.25. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one

before the second anniversary of the closing date.
The investors included the Company's former President and CEO and Liviakis
Financial Communications Inc. ("LFC").
Series E & F Convertible Preferred Stock
In July 1998, the Company completed the first closing of a private placement of
its Series E Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series E Preferred Stock") and
related Common Stock Purchase Warrants ("Class B Warrants") to First Capital
Group of Texas L.P. (the "Class B Investor"), an investment firm managed by the
Company's Chairman of the Board, at an aggregate price of $750,000. In January
1999, the Company completed the second closing of the private placement of its
Series F Convertible Preferred Stock (Series F Preferred Stock) and related
Class B Warrants to the Class B Investor for an aggregate price of $750,000.
In June 2000 all of the 750 shares of Series E Preferred Stock and 750 shares of
Series F Preferred Stock had been converted and all the Class B Warrants were
exercised.
Warrants
In June 2001, the Company issued 1,000,000 warrants in conjunction with the 6%
convertible debentures totaling $1,000,000. The warrants are exercisable at a
price of $0.14 per share through June 2004.
In June 2001, the Company issued 16,366,612 warrants in conjunction with the

common stock in conjunction with its private placement.
Also, in connection with the private placement of common stock and warrants to
acquire common stock for proceeds of $2 million in March 2001, the Company
agreed to modify the terms of pre-existing warrants to acquire an aggregate of
1,265,317 shares of the Company's common stock. The Company reduced the strike
price of these warrants from a weighted-average amount of $3.56 to $0.98 per
share, and extended the expiration date of the warrants from December 2001 to
December 2003. The change in the fair value of these warrants as a
50
result of the modifications is $687,394, which has been recorded as a cost of
the issuance of the common stock and related warrants.
In September 2000, the Company issued 210,222 shares of its common stock in
conjunction with the exercise of 210,222 warrants from the November 1998 private
placement. In a cashless exercise, the Company issued 297,313 shares of its

Stock Option Plans
Under the Company's existing stock option plans (the "Plans"), stock options to
purchase up to 4,680,842 shares of common stock were originally authorized to be
granted to employees, directors, and certain other persons. As of June 30, 2001,
3,434,057 stock options covering shares of common stock were outstanding under
the Plans and 1,246,785 shares were available for issuance upon exercise of
options, which may be granted in the future under the Plans.
Options under the Plans may either be incentive stock options or non-qualified
stock options (except in the case of the Company's non-qualified stock option
plan which permits only the issuance of non-qualified stock options). Options
under the Plans may be granted for a term not to exceed ten years (five years
with respect to incentive stock options granted to any person having 10% or more
voting power of the Company) and are not transferable other than by will or the
laws of descent and distribution. Incentive stock options may be exercised
within 90 days
51
after the optionee's termination of employment (to the extent exercisable prior
to such termination), and one year after the optionee's disability. The exercise
price of the options under the Plans must be at least equal to the fair market
value of the common stock on the date of grant, or 110% of such value for
incentive stock options granted to any person having 10% or more of the voting
power of the Company. The aggregate fair market value of the common stock for
which any employee may be granted incentive stock options that first become
exercisable in any one calendar year may not exceed $100,000. Options may be
exercised by payment of cash or by tender of shares of common stock (valued at
their then current market value). The Compensation Committee of the Board of
Directors administers the Plans.
On December 10, 1998, the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors
authorized and granted the Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer of
the Company the right to exchange up to 100% of their outstanding options, both
vested and unvested, for replacement options at a rate of three replacement
options for every four options surrendered. These replacement options are
exercisable at a price of $3.625 per share (the fair market value at the date of
repricing). A total of 609,500 options were exchanged for 442,125 replacement
options. The replacement options vest in two equal installments on June 10, 1999
and December 10, 1999.
On September 12, 2000, the Company's Board of Directors adopted the Stock Option
Plan, authorizing the grant of 1,250,000 incentive stock options and
non-qualified stock options to employees, directors and certain other persons.
On November 11, 2000, the shareholders approved the 2000 Stock option plan
authorizing 1,250,000 options for future grants.
On April 21, 1998, the Board of Directors authorized and granted the non-officer
employees of the Company, the right to exchange up to 100% of their outstanding
options, both vested and unvested, for replacement options at a rate of one
replacement option for each option surrendered. These replacement options are
exercisable at a price of $1.7813 per share (the fair market value at the date
of repricing). A total of 341,604 options were exchanged. Officers, other than
the Chief Executive Officer, were authorized and granted the right to exchange
up to 100% of their outstanding options; both vested and unvested, for
replacement options at a rate of two replacement options for every three options
surrendered. These replacement options are exercisable at a price of $1.7813 per
share (the fair market value at the date of repricing). A total of 294,750
options were exchanged for 196,499 replacement options. The replacement options
vest in two equal installments on October 21, 1998 and April 21, 1999.
A summary of option activity under the Plans for the fiscal years ended June 30,
2001, 2000 and 1999 is as follows:

Consultant and Advisor Stock Plan
In April of 1999, the Company established a Consultant and Advisor Stock Plan
(the "Consultant and Advisor Stock Plan") for the purpose of providing
incentives to and compensating consultants and advisors for their contributions
to the Company. In June 2001 the Company amended the plan by increasing the
number of shares issuable under the plan from 500,000 to 1,000,000 shares of the
Company's Common Stock.
Under the Consultant and Advisor Stock Plan, the Company may issue up to an
aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock to consultants and advisors whom
are natural persons providing bona fide services to the Company. Shares may not
be issued under the Consultant and Advisor Stock Plan to directors or officers
of the Company, or for services rendered in promoting or maintaining a market in
the Company's securities.
The Company recognizes as expense the market value of shares on the day of
issuance for such consulting services as the recipients generally sold the
shares upon issuance. For the years ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, the Company
issued approximately 190,000 and 100,000 shares of common stock with a value of
approximately $520,000 and $428,000 respectively. The company did not issue any
other shares in conjunction with this plan for the year ending June 30, 2001.
11) Commitments
The Company's facilities consisted of three buildings of approximately 21,000,
29,000 and 10,000 square feet, which are subject to ten, seven and five year
operating leases, respectively. The total net rent expense charged to operations
was approximately $290,000, $282,000, and $286,000, in fiscal 2001, 2000, and
1999 respectively.
In September 2000, the company sublet 29,000 square feet of its San Antonio,
Texas facilities to Teftec, Inc. a nonaffiliated company with the approval of
Crow Holdings Company, the company's landlord. In fiscal 2001, the company
received $125,000 in rents from Teftec resulting in net rent expense of $290,000
for fiscal 2001, for all leased facilities.
The following is a schedule of future minimum lease payments under
non-cancelable operating leases as of June 30, for each fiscal year shown below:

term is 36 months. Prior to June 30, 2001 the Company recorded asset impairment
for these leases since completing the original lease obligation will be
dependent upon additional cash being generated by the Company. The company is
also responsible for all property taxes that may be assessed from time to time
per the agreement.
12) Related Party Transactions
Certain outside directors also receive consulting fees for services rendered
from time to time to the Company. In fiscal 1999, no such person received in
excess of $60,000 for such services. In fiscal 2001 and fiscal 2000, First
Capital Group of Texas II, L.P., an investment firm managed by Jeffery P.
Blanchard, the Company's Chairman of the Board, respectively received $74,000
and $71,000 in consulting fees. In February 2001, the Company received a 30 day
loan from First Capital Group of Texas II, L.P in the amount of $150,000 which
the Company repaid in March including a nominal amount of interest. In May 2001
First Capital Group of Texas II, L.P., as part of the Company's May private
placement, invested $350,000 in the form of a convertible promissory note (see
Note 9.)
In July 1998, and January 1999, the Company completed the first and second
closings respectively, of a Private Placement (see Note 9 ) involving, among
other things, the sale of its Series E and F Preferred Stock and related Common
Stock Purchase Warrants to First Capital Group of Texas II, L.P., an investment
firm managed by Jeffery P. Blanchard, the Company's Chairman of the Board, at an
aggregate amount of $750,000 for each closing.
In fiscal 2000, two officers resigned their positions with the Company. The
total severance and retirement package was approximately $480,000 and was
recorded as an expense in fiscal 2000.
13) Employee Benefit Plans
Effective March 1, 1992, the Company adopted the DATA RACE, Inc. 401(k) Plan
under section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Under the
Plan, substantially all employees eligible to participate may elect to
contribute up to the lesser of 15% of their salary or the maximum allowed under
the Code. All full time employees with at least one year of continuous service
and who have completed 1,000 work hours are eligible for the Plan. The Company
may elect to make contributions to the Plan at the discretion of the Board of
Directors. The Company made contributions of approximately $76,000 in fiscal
2001, $65,000 in fiscal 2000, and $68,000 in fiscal 1999. Subsequent to the
close of its fiscal year on June 30, 2001, the Company terminated its 401k plan
through board of director resolution on July 13, 2001. For the quarter ending
June 30, 2001, the company opted not to match employee contributions.
In December 1993, the Company adopted the DATA RACE, Inc. Employee Stock
Purchase Plan ("ESPP") pursuant to which eligible employees may purchase up to
an aggregate of 200,000 shares of the Company's common stock at 85% of the fair
market value of the common stock through payroll deductions. In 1997, the ESPP

14) Legal Matters
In May 2001, the Company, two of it's executive officers and one of it's
significant shareholders were sued in the United States District Court for the
Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division, by Robert Plotkin, a
Chicago-based attorney, and several of Mr. Plotkin's relatives and family
trusts, who are all shareholders of the Company. The complaint alleges that the
plaintiffs were induced to purchase shares of the Company's common stock based
upon alleged misrepresentations and omissions of material fact. Discovery has
not yet commenced, but management and legal counsel believe the lawsuit is
without merit and intends to vigorously defend the Company against these
allegations.
The Company is not aware of any other legal matters .
ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND
FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
On November 20, 2000, KPMG, the Company's auditors who performed audit work on
the Company's financial statements for the fiscal years ending June 30, 2000 and
June 30, 1999 contained herein, resigned. The resignation was the result of an
initial dispute concerning revenue recognition for the quarter ending September
30, 2000. In filing the Company's 10-Q for the quarter ending September 30,
2000, the Company resolved the dispute by reporting revenue as recommended by
KPMG.
Deloitte & Touche LLP was previously the principal accountants for the Company
for the period from January 10, 2001 through October 4, 2001. Deloitte & Touche
LLP had issued no reports with respect to the Company during this period. On
October 4, 2001, Deloitte & Touche LLP resigned.
During the Company's interim quarterly periods ended December 31, 2000 and March
31, 2001, there were no disagreements between the Company and Deloitte & Touche
LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement
disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements if not resolved
to their satisfaction would have caused them to make reference in connection
with their review to the subject matter of the disagreement.
On October 12, 2001, the Company appointed and engaged Lazar Levine & Felix LLP
("Lazar") as the Company's principal independent public accountant. The Company
has not directly or indirectly during its two most recent fiscal years or during
the subsequent interim period prior to appointing Lazar consulted Lazar
regarding (a) either the application of accounting principles to a specified
transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that
might be rendered on the Company's financial statements, or (b) any matter that
was either the subject of a disagreement with the Company's prior principal
independent auditors KPMG, LLP, or Deloitte & Touche LLP, or a reportable event.
All changes in accountants where approved by the Company's Board of Directors.
The Company has no disputes resolved or unresolved with its current or previous
auditors.

59
Consultant and Advisor Stock Plan
In April 1999, the Company established a Consultant and Advisor Stock Plan for
the purpose of providing incentives to and compensating consultants and advisors
for their contributions to the Company. In June 2001 the Company amended the
plan by increasing the number of shares issuable under the plan from 500,000 to
1,000,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock.
Under the Consultant and Advisor Stock Plan, the Company may issue up to an
aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock to consultants and advisors who
are natural persons providing bona fide services to the Company. Shares may not
be issued under the Consultant and Advisor Stock Plan to directors or officers
of the Company, or for services rendered in promoting or maintaining a market in
the Company's securities. The number and type of shares issuable under the
Consultant and Advisor Stock Plan are subject to appropriate adjustment for
stock splits, stock dividends, mergers, reorganizations and other similar
capital changes. The Consultant and Advisor Stock Plan is administered by the
Company's Compensation Committee (or the full Board of Directors), which has the
exclusive power to construe and prescribe rules under the plan. The Board of
Directors may at any time modify, amend or terminate the Consultant and Advisor
Stock Plan. As of December 1, 2001, approximately 790,000, shares of common
stock had been issued under the Consultant and Advisor Stock Plan.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
The Company has an Employee Stock Purchase Plan structured to qualify under
Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. Under the Employee Stock
Purchase Plan, all full-time employees of the Company possessing less than 5% of
the voting power of the Company may elect to participate in the Purchase Plan
through a payroll deduction program. Under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan,
options to purchase up to 200,000 shares of Company common stock may be granted
to participants. In June 2001, this plan was terminated and no additional shares
were issued since February 1, 2001. As of December 1, 2001, approximately
194,000 shares of common stock had been issued under the Employee Stock Purchase
Plan.
The Compensation Committee, which administers the Employee Stock Purchase Plan,
establishes offering periods for the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, which may
last up to 24 months. Prior to each offering period, participants may authorize
payroll deductions of up to 20% of their annual compensation. At the beginning
of the offering period, participants are granted an option to purchase the
number of shares of common stock that may be purchased with the total amount of
the participant's payroll deductions taken over the offering period at an
exercise price equal to the lesser of 85% of the fair market value of the common
stock on the first day of the offering period or the last day of the offering
period. Unless the participant has withdrawn from participation, the
participant's option will be exercised automatically on the last day of the
offering period.
A participant may withdraw from the Purchase Plan at any time during an offering
period. If a participant's employment with the Company terminates for any reason
other than death, disability, or retirement, his or her option to purchase
common stock under the Purchase Plan will immediately terminate, and the amount
of such participant's payroll deductions will be paid to him or her in cash. If
a participant's employment with the Company terminates due to death, disability,
or retirement, such participant (or his or her legal representative) will have
the right to continue participation in the Purchase Plan with respect to the
offering period. No option granted under the Purchase Plan may be transferred
except by will or the laws of descent and distribution.
1997 Nonqualified Employee Stock Option Plan
Permit NASD grants to non-officer employees and to officers as an
inducement to employment.
60
Stock Option Plans
Under the Company's existing stock option plans, as of December 1, 2001, stock
options covering an aggregate of 1,439,270, shares of Common Stock were
outstanding with a weighted average exercise price of $3.67 per share, and an
aggregate of 3,241,572 shares of Common Stock were available for issuance upon
exercise of options that may be granted in the future.
Options under the option plans may either be incentive stock options or
non-qualified stock options. Options under the option plans may be granted for a
term not to exceed ten years (five years with respect to incentive stock options
granted to any person having 10% or more voting power of the Company) and are
not transferable other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. The
exercise price of the options under the plans must be at least equal to the fair
market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant, or 110% of such value for
incentive stock options granted to any person having 10% or more of the voting
power of the Company.
The aggregate fair market value of the Common Stock for which any employee may
be granted incentive stock options, which first become exercisable in any one
calendar year may not exceed $100,000. Options may be exercised by payment of
cash or by tender of shares of common stock (valued at their then current market
value). In the event of a change of control, all unvested options vest and
become exercisable. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors
administers the Plans, except that the full Board administers the stock option
grants to members of the Compensation Committee.

Common Stock. The exercise price of each option equals the fair market
value of the Common Stock on the grant date.
