Accordingly, the previously issued financial statements for the above periods should no longer be relied upon. The Company expects to complete the restatements and make the required Form 10-K/A and 10-Q/A filings during early November 2004 once the financial statements are complete and the auditors have completed their review. However, no assurances can be given that these filings will be made at those times. In reviewing our financial statements, the Company determined that prior presentation was incorrect and therefore the financial statements need to be restated as follows: 1. Reversal of revenue recognized on a one-time sale of software technology rights; 2. Presentation of net sales and cost of sales as product and services revenues and corresponding costs of revenues; 3. Reversal of a purchase of software technology; 4. Accrual of a royalty liability pursuant to the purchase agreement of software technology; 5. Capitalization and amortization of the beneficial conversion charges related to the March '03 and March '04 convertible debentures; 6. Capitalization of legal fees related to the acquisition of Page Digital Incorporated and Retail Technologies International, Inc., and 7. Reclassification of the unamortized cost of debt discount and beneficial conversion charges from additional paid in capital to interest expense. 8. Inclusion of the value of options assumed in the acquisition of RTI as a purchase price adjustment. The Company's management and Chair of the Audit Committee have discussed the matters disclosed in this filing with SLGG. SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereto duly authorized.
