NOTE REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
Some of the statements in this Annual Report are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Generally
forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of terms like "believe," "may," "will," "expect," "anticipate," "plan," "hope" and
similar words, although this is not a complete list and we may express some forward-looking statements differently. Discussions relating to
our plan of operation, our business strategy and our competition, among others, contain such statements. Actual results may differ materially
from those contained in our forward-looking statements for a variety of reasons. We have based these forward-looking statements on our
current expectations and projections about future events. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions
about the Company, discussed elsewhere in this Annual Report.
We undertake no obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future
events or otherwise. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events contained or incorporated by reference
in this Annual Report might not occur.
NOTE REGARDING NUMBER OF SHARES AND SHARE PRICES
On December 30, 2002 the Company effected a 1-for-3 reverse split of its Common Stock (the "Split"). Throughout this Annual Report,
all references to a number of shares of the Company's Common Stock or the price of the Company's Common Stock have been adjusted
proportionately in order to account for the Split.
Previously, on February 5, 2001, the Company effected a 2-for-1 forward split of its Common Stock.
ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
General
PART I
Medicsight, Inc. (formerly HTTP Technology, Inc.) and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to in this Annual Report as the
"Company". Our business objective is to conceive, develop and commercialize innovative medical applications derived from our core
technology through our majority-owned subsidiary, Medicsight PLC ("MS-PLC").
We were originally incorporated as a Utah corporation in 1977. On December 19, 2000, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of
Merger with our wholly-owned subsidiary HTTP Technology, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and thereby effected a reincorporation of the
company from Utah to Delaware. All references in this Annual Report to "the Company", "we" or "us" refer to Medicsight, Inc., the Delaware
corporation, if the event occurred on or after December 19, 2000 or to HTTP Technology, Inc., the Utah corporation, if the event occurred
prior to December 19, 2000. We are authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock.
In April 2000, we acquired Radical Technology PLC, now known as HTTP Software PLC ("Software"), which provided us with a
business dedicated to systems integration and software development. In December 2000, we acquired Nightingale Technologies Ltd, now
known as HTTP Insights Ltd ("Insights"), which provided us with proprietary technology called a Stochastic Perception Engine (see
"Business Strategy" and "Patents and Trademarks" below). A Stochastic Perception Engine processes and classifies unstructured data into
meaningful outputs, enabling it to be viewed, interpreted or further manipulated by the user of the application. Similar technologies sit at the
core of many of today's major software applications. Our Stochastic Perception Engine is comprised of four principal modules: cluster
analysis, statistical modeling, classification and prediction. This technology has the ability to offer unprecedented processing speed, accuracy
and comprehensiveness of results when compared to existing data classification technologies. We believe that our Stochastic Perception
Engine has significant potential uses in a wide variety of fields, including medical image analysis, the design of pharmaceuticals,
environmental mapping, handwriting recognition, robotics and surveillance.
We have restructured our business to focus more closely on the medical imaging applications derived from our core technology. We have
concluded the process of incorporating all research, software development, management and marketing activities related to our medical
imaging initiatives into MS-PLC. In November 2001 assets were transferred from our other subsidiaries to MS-PLC and the costs incurred on
the development of the Medicsight™ system (our state-of-the-art digital disease detection software system) were reimbursed and assigned by
way of a loan note from MS-PLC. The amount of the loan note to Medicsight, Inc. was £3,659,104, and this loan note was converted into
57,868,582 ordinary shares of MS-PLC issued to the Company and 15,000,000 ordinary shares of MS-PLC issued to the former parent of
Insights in November 2001.
On October 28, 2002, the Company's name was changed from HTTP Technology, Inc. to Medicsight, Inc.
We maintain our corporate offices at 46 Berkeley Square, London, W1J 5AT, United Kingdom, telephone +44 (0) 207-598-4070,
facsimile: +44 (0) 207-598-4071.
Recent Acquisitions/Dispositions
Software. On April 21, 2000, we acquired, through a stock-for-stock tender offer, approximately 76.73% of the issued and outstanding
ordinary shares of Software. We offered 33 shares of Common Stock of the Company (the "Exchange Stock") for every 143 shares of capital
stock of Software. Through additional issuances of stock subsequent to April 21, 2000, we acquired an aggregate of 99.5%
2
of the outstanding shares of Software in exchange for 850,090 shares of our Common Stock prior to Software being sold on October 28,
2002 (as detailed below). Accordingly, we had the right under applicable law to compulsorily acquire the balance and to treat Software as a
wholly-owned subsidiary.
Over the last four years, Software generated revenue from its systems integration business together with maintenance of its in-house
developed systems integration and network software products. In 2001, we decided to focus Software's resources towards working with
Insights to develop the core technology of the Stochastic Perception Engine. All former Software staff are now employed full-time by MS-
PLC. Current contractual terms between Software and existing customers were fulfilled by September 30, 2002. We sold Software to an
independent third party on October 28, 2002 for a nominal sum of approximately $1,500. At that time, Software had net assets of
approximately $4,500.
Core Ventures, Ltd. In September 2000, we acquired Core Ventures Limited ("Core"), a privately held Internet venture company, from
Troy Limited, a Cayman corporation ("Troy"). Under the agreement, we issued 1,200,000 shares of our Common Stock for 100% of the
outstanding stock of Core. Core's principal asset was an interest of less than 1% in Red Cube AG ("Red Cube"), a voice-over-IP
telecommunications provider, and warrants to purchase further shares (less than 3%) in Red Cube. The agreement provided in part that
Dr. Alexander Nill, a principal of Troy, personally guaranteed to us that, as of December 15, 2000, the fair market value of Core's net assets
would be not less than $25,000,000, such value to be determined by our independent auditors; and in the event of any shortfall, Dr. Nill
undertook to pay us, within 10 days following our written demand, any shortfall, in cash or securities. At the time of this transaction, Dr. Nill
was one of our directors. He resigned from that position, effective February 27, 2001.
On December 27, 2000 Dr. Nill executed a Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") with the Company in which he admitted to
substantial liability under the personal guarantee. The MOU stipulated that the net assets of Core were estimated to be $2,540,000 and that the
warrants to purchase further Red Cube stock held by Core had no value. Dr. Nill acknowledged that he had been served by us with a formal
demand to honor his obligations to us pursuant to the terms of the personal guarantee provided by him as security for the Core acquisition.
The MOU provided inter alia that Troy was to provide a schedule of other assets having a value of not less than $10,900,000, such market
value to be determined by our independent auditors as being the fair market value as at the valuation date and which assets Dr. Nill was to
procure to be delivered by Troy to us or as we shall have directed within 21 days of the date of the MOU; that in consideration of our
forbearance to immediately sue him to enforce the personal guarantee Dr. Nill was to cause to be delivered within 7 days of the date of the
MOU 616,192 shares of our Common Stock (the equivalent of 924,282 shares pre-splits) with all necessary transfer details signed in blank.
Dr. Nill did not honor his obligations under the MOU and, notwithstanding our expectations and previous understandings, we were unable to
obtain effective enforcement, by means of escrow arrangements or otherwise, of the personal guarantee.
In the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2001, an agent, NYPPe, LLC, was assigned to dispose of shares owned by Dr. Nill in a
secondary private placement. As of December 31, 2001 5,000 of those shares (the equivalent of 15,000 shares pre-reverse split) had been
sold, resulting in net proceeds to the Company of $75,000.
On March 6, 2002, Core entered into voluntary liquidation proceedings. In accordance with the Companies Act governing companies
organized in the British Virgin Islands, Core appointed a liquidator to assess the fair value of its assets.
We do not consider that enforcement of the terms of the personal guarantee through legal action with a view to recovering against other
assets is likely to provide an effective remedy for us, and we have reached an oral understanding with Dr. Nill that the proceeds from the sale
of 1,195,000 shares of our Common Stock are to be remitted to us. We are reserving the rights and remedies that may be
3
available to us in respect of such shares and/or the proceeds of sales thereof and/or otherwise, in particular if he does not abide by such
understanding.
Insights. On December 29, 2000, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Insights, in a stock-for-stock transaction then
valued at approximately $180 million. We received the shares of Insights on that date but, pursuant to the terms of our offer, were not required
to pay any consideration for the Insights shares until certain conditions were met. The first of these conditions, that we receive a validation by
the Defence Evaluation and Research Agency ("DERA"), an agency of the United Kingdom Ministry of Defence, as to the technical and
commercial viability of Insights' proprietary technology, was satisfied on February 22, 2001. As such, we issued the first tranche of
contingent consideration of 5,000,000 shares of our Common Stock on that date, valued at approximately $93,000,000 based on a weighted
average share price of $18.60 per share. In variance of the conditions precedent set forth in the original purchase agreement, on November 22,
average share price of $18.60 per share. In variance of the conditions precedent set forth in the original purchase agreement, on November 22,
2001 we agreed with the seller of Insights that the obligation to issue the second tranche of contingent consideration may be satisfied by the
direct issuance of shares in MS-PLC to such seller. On that date, MS-PLC issued 15,000,000 shares in MS-PLC to Nightingale, and
Nightingale accepted such shares in satisfaction of our obligation under the original purchase agreement. The second tranche was valued at
$21,832,000 based on the share price of stock being alloted by MS-PLC. Total consideration for the purchase of Insights was approximately
$115 million. As of the date hereof, there is no public market for the MS-PLC shares. All assets and liabilities of Insights were transferred to
Medicsight Finance Ltd. ("Finance"), after which Insights was sold to an independent third party on December 6, 2002 for a nominal sum of
$160.
Business Strategy
We are a developer of software technology in the medical sector. We have three principal operating subsidiaries: MS-PLC, Medicsight
Asset Management Limited ("MAM") and Lifesyne UK Limited ("Lifesyne"). Insights and Software, formerly subsidiaries of the Company,
were sold to independent third parties during the fourth quarter of 2002.
MS-PLC. Our majority-owned subsidiary, MS-PLC, is currently engaged in efforts to commercialize a state-of-the-art digital expert
recognition software system for digital data derived from medical imaging hardware. At December 31, 2002, the Company owned 67,127,300
ordinary shares in MS-PLC, constituting 83.9% of the outstanding shares. MS-PLC undertook a private offering outside the United States of
an additional 6,131,398 ordinary shares, which was closed on December 31, 2002. As part of this offering, we acquired a further 1,258,718
shares in MS-PLC for £1,258,718 ($ 2,014,000). On December 23, 2002, we entered into a share swap with General Nominees and Asia IT
Nominees whereby the Company issued 1,866,666 shares to General Nominees (1,674,894 shares) and Asia IT Nominees (191,772 shares)
in return for 7,000,000 MS-PLC shares held by General Nominees (6,280,852 shares) and Asia IT Nominees (719,148 shares) respectively.
Lifesyne. Lifesyne is a wholly owned subsidiary of MS-PLC that was established in September 2002 for the purpose of providing a
branded operating entity for the United Kingdom and Ireland markets. Lifesyne will be the entity that operates the scanning centers located in
the United Kingdom.
MAM. MAM is also a wholly owned subsidiary of MS-PLC that was established in September 2002 for the purpose of acquiring fixed
assets on behalf of the operating entities in the group. MAM will negotiate and acquire equipment and fund leasehold improvements and
development, which in turn will be leased to the relevant operating entity.
The Medicsight™ system analyzes digital data from the new generation of 16-detector multi-slice computed tomography ("CT")
scanners, and then provides analysis to enable the clinician to identify
4
areas of possible abnormality. We believe that in the future the Medicsight™ system will be capable of reliably detecting isolated pulmonary
nodules, calcification of the arteries and other abnormalities indicative of disease. The potential advantage of the Medicsight™ system is that it
increases precision, reliability, scalability and will be cost effective. The system uses its technology to provide tools to radiologists for the
identification of possible abnormalities. The clinician will then apply his/her experience to determine the next steps in medical diagnosis and
treatment. We believe the Medicsight™ system will be capable of processing unprecedented volumes of images. It is now widely accepted that
the most effective way to achieve early detection of leading deadly diseases is through radiological scanning. Such scanning would allow
national healthcare bodies to provide society with the best protection against premature death.
We believe that the Medicsight™ system will:
•
•
•
enable accurate and reliable scan analysis;
create a service that will be significantly cheaper than at present as it reduces the burden on radiologists who in current practice
account for a significant proportion of the scan cost; and
allow significant patient volume to be achieved because the analysis is fully automated and scanning volumes are not then
constrained by the finite number of radiologists.
The step change in technology that increases the potential of the Medicsight™ system is the 16-detector CT scanner. This allows sub-
millimeter cross-sectional slices to be captured with increased speed and reduced radiological dose when compared with traditional single slice
machines. This provides over 600 images of the chest cavity instead of 30-60 for single slice scanners. The amount of detail now available,
while enabling early detection of smaller nodules and areas of calcification, increases the time required for analysis by radiologists. Therefore
the automation of scan analysis is essential. MS-PLC has identified GE Medical Systems, part of the General Electric Company of America,
as a potential supplier of the new 16 detector CT scanners.
A number of service centers will be established to provide a referral-only CT service for the early detection of coronary heart disease,
lung and colorectal cancer. Referring medical practitioners will send high-risk individuals or those displaying non-specific signs of ill health to
the center for a specific scan. No self-referrals will be accepted. MS-PLC will operate its new scanning centers under the Lifesyne™ brand
name. The first Lifesyne™ center was commissioned in the fourth quarter of 2002 and was followed by the scanning of our first target group
at the end of Fiscal 2002. This center will be scanning primarily for the earliest signs of heart disease and lung cancer. The center is located in
West London within the Hammersmith Hospitals NHS Trust ("NHS Trust"). Two other high profile sites in Central London are also at an
advanced stage of negotiation and we anticipate them being operational in the second quarter of 2003. Further Lifesyne™ centers are expected
to be on stream throughout the UK in late-2003. The initial units will be used to gain data for submission to obtain regulatory approval and
continue to acquire market and clinical data and to generate revenues.
The characteristics of markets around the world directly affect how MS-PLC will commercialize its technology. In the UK there is a
shortage of diagnostic imaging capacity and under-investment in the health system. The vast majority of all diagnostic procedures are carried
out in a hospital environment making them inefficient, inconvenient and costly. It is therefore commercially attractive and necessary to
establish owned and operated diagnostic centers. However, in the United States and Western Europe, many diagnostic procedures already take
place outside of a hospital environment and are carried out in privately owned clinics or diagnostic imaging centers. For these markets, it is
unnecessary for Lifesyne™ to establish new operating units, which would in effect compete with the existing market. Therefore, MS-PLC
anticipates that it will create licensees or franchises to achieve rapid penetration of the market at lower capital expenditure and risk.
5
Operational and development costs for Fiscal 2003 are estimated at approximately $8.5 million. MS-PLC has raised approximately
$8.8 million by way of a private placement of 6.1 million shares (of which the Company has purchased 1,258,718 shares for consideration of
$2 million) which was underwritten by Asia IT Capital Investments Limited ("Asia IT"). Additionally, MS-PLC has entered into a
£10.0 million (approximately $16.0 million) secured credit facility with Asia IT that ceases in November 2004. MS-PLC expects to become
financially self-sufficient during 2004.
Our expansion strategy across the United States and Europe calls for several business models. Besides the Company-operated
Lifesyne™ scanning centers in the United Kingdom, we will operate partnerships with industry leaders to achieve rapid market penetration
across our target regions. Revenue streams are expected to include scan analysis fees and franchise license fees. However, we have yet to
derive any significant revenue from the Medicsight™ system. We cannot assure you that MS-PLC will be successful in commercializing the
Medicsight™ system, or if such system is commercialized, that its use will be profitable to MS-PLC. We face obstacles in commercializing
our core technology and in generating operating revenues such as, but not limited to, successful development, testing of and gaining regulatory
approval for the technology.
MS-PLC does not believe that there is any direct comparative competition to the Medicsight™ system. There are computer-aided
diagnostic systems that work in the field, but, in our view, such existing systems are overly dependent on human resources to carry out the
analysis, as none have the capability of the Medicsight™ system.
The Company has had only a limited operating history upon which an evaluation of its prospects can be made. The Company's prospects
must be considered keeping in mind the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered in the establishment of a new business in an
ever-changing industry. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to achieve profitable operations.
The Company has identified a number of other specific risk areas which may effect the Company's operations and results in the future:
Technical Risks. The Medicsight™ system may not deliver the levels of accuracy and reliability needed, or the development of such
accuracy and reliability may be delayed.
Market Risks. The market for the Medicsight™ system may be slower to develop or smaller than estimated or it may be more difficult
to build the market than anticipated. The medical community may resist the Medicsight™ system or be slower to accept it than we expect.
Revenues from the Lifesyne™ scanning centers and the licensing of the Medicsight™ system may be delayed or costs may be higher than
expected which may result in the Company requiring additional funding.
Regulatory Risks. The Medicsight™ system is subject to numerous regulatory requirements in both the United States and Europe
covering not just approval for the use of the Medicsight™ system, but also retention of personal medical records and regulations concerning
the use of radiation. See "Governmental Regulation".
Competitive Risks. There are a number of groups and organizations, such as software companies in the medical imaging field, scanner
manufacturers, screening companies and other healthcare providers, that have an interest in developing a competitive offering to the
Medicsight™ system. We cannot make any assurance that they will not attempt to develop such offerings, that they will not be successful in
developing such offerings or that any offerings they do successfully develop will not have a competitive edge versus the Medicsight™
system.
6
Employees
As of March 24, 2003, the Company and its subsidiaries had 56 employees, all of whom are full-time employees. Our employees are not
part of a union. We believe that we have an excellent relationship with our employees.
Patents and Trademarks
Protection of our proprietary technology, and our rights over that technology, from copy or unchallenged use is essential to our future
success. Any challenges to or disputes concerning our core technology may result in great expense, delays in bringing products to market and
disruption of our focus on our core activities. They may also result in loss of rights over our technology or the right to operate in particular
markets due to adverse legal decisions against us.
We have filed patent applications in the UK, USA and under the International Patent Treaty (which has approximately 70 member
countries) covering the application of our core technology. However, we have not as yet been granted any patents. In addition we are in the
process of preparing to file patent applications covering our MedicLung, MedicHeart and MedicColon products. We cannot provide assurance
that any or all of these patents will be granted or that they will not be challenged, or that rights granted to us will actually provide us with
advantage over our competitors. However prior art searches have taken place and the Company believes that we will not infringe any current
patent filings.
Additionally, we have filed applications to register "Medicsight"™ and "Lifesyne"™ as trademarks in the UK, the European community
and the USA. Both trademarks are essential to the corporate identity that we are seeking to create in connection with the Medicsight™ system.
Failure to register appropriate patents, copyrights or trade marks in any jurisdiction may impede our ability to create brand awareness in
our products, result in expenses involved in pursuing or defending related legal action, or result in lost revenues through delays incurred due
to intellectual property disputes. Where we may be required to purchase licenses from those with prior rights in any country, we cannot assure
you that we will be able to do so at a commercially acceptable cost.
Research and Development
The technology underlying the Medicsight™ system has not yet been commercialized. Under United States generally accepted accounting
principles, until the technology is determined to be feasible, all research and development expenditures must be expensed rather than
capitalized. The Company's expenditure on research and development comprise of staff and consultants employed in the development of the
Medicsight™ system. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001, we expended $1,239,000 and
$1,266,000 respectively for research and development expenses for the Medicsight™ system. For the twelve months ended December 31,
2000 we expended $nil for research and development. We cannot predict the amount of additional expenditures that will be necessary prior to
achieving commercialization of our products.
Major Customers
During Fiscal 2002, the Company had two customers that represented 98.8% of the Company's revenues. The customers are
Commonwealth Secretariat, which accounted for 67.1% of sales, and Texaco Ltd., which accounted for 31.7% of sales. These revenues were
derived from providing software maintenance services through Software. As Software was sold on October 28, 2002, these revenues will not
recur during the year ended December 31, 2003.
7
In Fiscal 2001 major customers of the Company were Commonwealth Secretariat, which accounted for 29.8% of sales, Eidos Interactive,
which accounted for 25.8% of sales, and Texaco, which accounted for 22.7% of sales.
In Fiscal 2000 the customers were Red Cube AG, which accounted for 26.7% of sales (of which $74,000 was allowed as doubtful),
Radical Technology PLC (prior to acquisition), which accounted for 19.3% of sales, and Nightingale Technologies Ltd (prior to acquisition),
which accounted for 25.7% of sales.
Governmental Regulation
The Medicsight™ system analyzes digital data from medical scanners, such as MRI's and CAT scans, and provides improved analysis to
enable the clinician to identify areas of possible abnormality. It will be subject to governmental regulation in the United Kingdom, Europe and
the United States. However, we currently are not certain of the level of regulation which will be applied to the Medicsight™ system in any
specific location. The level of governmental regulation as between each of these geographic locations may vary. Any such regulation could
delay the commercial introduction of the Medicsight™ system and could significantly increase our costs of operations.
General
Our address is 46 Berkeley Square, London, W1J 5AT, United Kingdom. Our telephone number is 011-44-207-598-4070. Our Internet
address is http://www.medicsight.com. Information on our website is not deemed to be a part of this Annual Report.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.
We maintain our corporate offices at 46 Berkeley Square, Mayfair, London, United Kingdom W1J 5AT. The office is comprised of
9,642 square feet. We do not have a formal, written lease for these offices. Rent is paid quarterly in advance to a property management
company, Berkeley Square Ventures Limited, which in turn collects the rent for International Cellulose Company Limited, the entity that holds
the lease on the property. In November 2001 International Cellulose Company Limited was acquired by STG (Holdings) PLC ("STG") the
majority shareholder of the Company.
We operate a Lifesyne™ scanning center located at Ravenscourt Hospital in London, part of NHS Trust. We do not currently have a
formal, written lease with NHS Trust for this scanning center, but we have negotiated one and are in the process of finalizing it. We are
currently negotiating for further sites in Central London at which to operate Lifesyne™ scanning centers.
The property currently occupied is adequate for the current needs of the Company.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
On January 23, 2002, Chess Ventures LLC ("Chess") commenced a lawsuit against us in the Chancery Court of Delaware, seeking an
order to compel us to remove restrictive legends from share certificates owned by Chess so that Chess could sell the shares represented by
certificates pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933 ("Rule 144"). Chess also claimed money damages due to our failure to
remove the legends. We filed a defense and counterclaim to this claim and subsequently instructed our transfer agent to remove the restrictive
legends on all applicable certificates (including those held by Chess) should proper requests be made by the holders thereof in accordance with
Rule 144. On June 4, 2002, we entered into a Settlement Agreement with Chess in which we agreed to pay a nominal sum to Chess. Neither
party made any admission of liability, and each party fully released any claims it may have had against the other party. The lawsuit was
subsequently dismissed.
8
In addition to the above we have been served with a Notice of Sequestration in a proceeding brought in the Court of Chancery of the
State of Delaware by a Turks and Caicos company against two shareholders of the Company. The Company responded to the Notice of
Sequestration on January 17, 2003 and does not expect that any further action by the Company will be required.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.
On October 28, 2002, holders of 70.2% (13,510,309 shares) of the issued and outstanding shares of our Common Stock consented to an
amendment to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, changing the Company's name from HTTP Technology, Inc. to Medicsight, Inc.
On December 30, 2002, holders of 50.45% (10,676,975 shares) of the issued and outstanding shares of our Common Stock consented to
a 1-for-3 reverse split of our Common Stock.

and implemented.
Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
Panther. On January 6, 2000, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement (the "Underwriting Agreement") with Panther
Capital Ltd. ("Panther") to sell shares of Common Stock and warrants of the Company pursuant to an exemption from registration under
Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act. Pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Company sold 3,333,333
shares of its Common Stock (the "Panther Shares"), at a price of $1.50 per share to certain sub-underwriters named in the Underwriting
Agreement, for whom Panther acted as lead underwriter. In consideration for such underwriting, Panther received warrants to purchase up to
666,667 shares of Common Stock of the Company (the "Warrants"). The Warrants were exercisable at $1.50 per share if exercised within one
year of the first closing of the Agreement, which occurred on January 28, 2000 (the "First Closing"), and at a price of $15.00 per share if
exercised within two years of the date of the First Closing. The fair value of the Warrants on the date of the grant was $4,428,000. On
May 12, 2000, Panther exercised all the Warrants for $1,000,000.
Under the Underwriting Agreement, the Company was obligated to prepare a registration statement covering 25% of the Panther Shares
under the Securities Act and to file such registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") within
90 days of the completion of the offering of the Panther Shares (the "Registration Statement"). Prior to and during the period of 120 days after
the Registration Statement is declared effective by the Commission, the Company has agreed not, without prior written consent of Panther, to
issue, offer, sell, or grant options to purchase or otherwise dispose any of the Company's equity securities or any other securities convertible
into or exchangeable for its common stock or other equity security, other than pursuant to transactions already disclosed to Panther.
Additionally, for a period of 180 days after the first date that any of the Panther Shares are released for sale to the public, the officers and
directors of the Company have agreed not to directly or indirectly sell or offer to sell or otherwise dispose any of their shares of common stock
of the Company or any right to acquire any such shares without the prior written consent of Panther. A Registration Statement was filed by the
Company on December 26, 2001, but was subsequently withdrawn on January 9, 2003 because the majority of the shares of Common Stock
covered by the Registration Statement have been held for longer than two years and can be resold in accordance with the requirements of
Rule 144 under the Securities Act.
Software. On April 21, 2000, the Company acquired, through a stock-for-stock tender offer (the "Software Offer"), approximately
76.73% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of Radical Technology PLC (subsequently renamed HTTP Software PLC). Pursuant to
the Software Offer, HTTP offered 33 shares of common stock of the Company (the "Exchange Stock") for every 143 shares of capital stock
of Software. Through additional issuances of stock subsequent to April 21, 2000, the Company acquired an aggregate of 99.5% of the
outstanding shares of Software in exchange for 850,090 shares of the Company's Common Stock. Accordingly, the Company has the right
under applicable law to compulsorily acquire the balance and to treat Software as a wholly owned subsidiary. Assuming full acceptance of the
Software Offer, 854,476 shares of the Company will be issued, constituting approximately 4.0% of the Company's outstanding shares. The
Exchange Stock was not initially registered under the Securities Act. However, as a condition of the Software Offer, the Company had agreed
to file a registration statement with the Commission covering the Exchange Stock within twelve months from the date of issue of the Exchange
Stock. Furthermore, the Company agreed not to file a registration statement during this twelve-month period covering any shares held by
STG. A Registration Statement was filed by the Company on December 26, 2001, but was subsequently withdrawn on January 9, 2003
because the majority of the Exchange Stock covered by the Registration Statement has been held for longer than two years and can be resold in
accordance with the requirements of Rule 144 under the Securities Act.
11
Ferman. On May 3, 2000, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire 51% of the outstanding stock of Ferman AG, a Swiss
venture capital company ("Ferman"), for the issuance of 2,400,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock. On October 5, 2000, the
Company executed an agreement to acquire 100% of Ferman's outstanding stock for 1,700,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock.
Subsequently, after undertaking further due diligence, the Company determined that the conditions to closing had not been fulfilled, and
accordingly, the Company decided not to proceed with the transaction. The Company never assumed management control of Ferman and no
consideration was exchanged.
Reg S Placement. On May 25, 2000, the Company issued a private placement memorandum to raise up to $30 million through the sale
Reg S Placement. On May 25, 2000, the Company issued a private placement memorandum to raise up to $30 million through the sale
of shares of Common Stock at a price of $18.75 per share pursuant to an exemption from registration under Regulation S promulgated under
the Securities Act. The final closing of the placement was in November 2000. The Company raised the minimum allowed under the private
placement, $10 million and established a $20 million credit facility (the "Credit Facility") with Asia IT Capital Investment Limited ("Asia IT")
as of December 15, 2000 to cover the balance of the funds it sought to raise. At the time we entered into such credit facility Asia IT was a
12.2% stockholder of the Company. Since such time, Asia IT has sold a substantial portion of its interest in the Company in private
transactions. As of December 31, 2002, there was an outstanding balance of $2,331,000 under the Credit Facility, and the Company
anticipates that, in the foreseeable future, it will need to draw upon the Credit Facility to continue to operate and meet its obligations as and
when they become due. The Credit Facility originally expired on December 31, 2001, but such expiration date has been extended to June 30,
2004.
Core. In September 2000, we acquired Core Ventures Limited ("Core"), a privately held Internet venture company, from Troy Limited,
a Cayman corporation ("Troy"). Under the agreement, we issued 1,200,000 shares of our Common Stock for 100% of the outstanding stock
of Core. Core's principal asset was an interest of less than 1% in Red Cube AG ("Red Cube"), a voice-over-IP telecommunications provider,
and warrants to purchase further shares (less than 3%) in Red Cube. The agreement provided in part that Dr. Alexander Nill, a principal of
Troy, personally guaranteed to us that, as of December 15, 2000, the fair market value of Core's net assets would be not less than
$25,000,000, such value to be determined by our independent auditors; and in the event of any shortfall, Dr. Nill undertook to pay us, within
10 days following our written demand, any shortfall, in cash or securities. At the time of this transaction, Dr. Nill was one of our directors. He
resigned from that position, effective February 27, 2001.
On December 27, 2000 Dr. Nill executed a Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") with the Company in which he admitted to
substantial liability under the personal guarantee. The MOU stipulated that the net assets of Core were estimated to be $2,540,000 and that the
warrants to purchase further Red Cube stock held by Core had no value. Dr. Nill acknowledged that he had been served by us with a formal
demand to honor his obligations to us pursuant to the terms of the personal guarantee provided by him as security for the Core acquisition.
The MOU provided inter alia that Troy was to provide a schedule of other assets having a value of not less than $10,900,000, such market
value to be determined by our independent auditors as being the fair market value as at the valuation date and which assets Dr. Nill was to
procure to be delivered by Troy to us or as we shall have directed within 21 days of the date of the MOU; that in consideration of our
forbearance to immediately sue him to enforce the personal guarantee Dr. Nill was to cause to be delivered within 7 days of the date of the
MOU 616,192 shares of our Common Stock (the equivalent of 924,282 shares pre-splits) with all necessary transfer details signed in blank.
Dr. Nill did not honor his obligations under the MOU and, notwithstanding our expectations and previous understandings, we were unable to
obtain effective enforcement, by means of escrow arrangements or otherwise, of the personal guarantee.
In the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2001, an agent, NYPPe, LLC, was assigned to dispose of shares owned by Dr. Nill in a
secondary private placement. As of December 31, 2001 5,000 of those
12
shares (the equivalent of 15,000 shares pre-reverse split) had been sold, resulting in net proceeds to the Company of $75,000.
On March 6, 2002, Core entered into voluntary liquidation proceedings. In accordance with the Companies Act governing companies
organized in the British Virgin Islands, Core appointed a liquidator to assess the fair value of its assets.
We do not consider that enforcement of the terms of the personal guarantee through legal action with a view to recovering against other
assets is likely to provide an effective remedy for us, and we have reached an oral understanding with Dr. Nill that the proceeds from the sale
of 1,195,000 shares of our Common Stock are to be remitted to us. We are reserving the rights and remedies that may be available to us in
respect of such shares and/or the proceeds of sales thereof and/or otherwise, in particular if he does not abide by such understanding.
Insights. On December 29, 2000, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Insights, formerly known as
Nightingale Technologies, Ltd., in a stock-for-stock transaction valued at approximately $180 million (the "Insights Offer"). The Company
received the shares of Insights on that date but, pursuant to the terms of the Insights Offer, was not required to pay any consideration for the
Insights shares until certain conditions were met. The first of these conditions, that the Company receive a validation by the Defence
Evaluation and Research Agency ("DERA"), an agency of the United Kingdom Ministry of Defence, as to the technical and commercial
viability of Insights' proprietary technology, was satisfied on February 22, 2001. As such, the Company issued the first tranche of contingent
consideration of 5,000,000 shares of its Common Stock on that date. Such shares were issued pursuant to an exemption from registration
under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. In variance of the conditions precedent set forth in the original purchase agreement, on November 22,
2001 we agreed with the seller of Insights that the obligation to issue the second tranche of contingent consideration may be satisfied by the
direct issuance of shares in MS-PLC to such seller. On that date, MS-PLC issued 15,000,000 shares in MS-PLC to Nightingale, and
Nightingale accepted such shares in satisfaction of our obligation under the original purchase agreement. As of the date hereof, there is no
public market for the MS-PLC shares.
Swap. On December 23, 2002 the Company entered into a share swap with General Nominees and Asia IT Nominees whereby the
Company issued 1,866,666 shares to General Nominees (1,674,894 shares) and Asia IT Nominees (191,772 shares) in exchange for
7,000,000 MS-PLC shares held by General Nominees (6,280,852 shares) and Asia IT Nominees (719,148 shares) respectively. Such shares
were issued pursuant to an exemption from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
Except for historical information, the material contained in this Management's Discussion and Analysis and Results of Operations is
forward-looking. The Company's actual results could differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements, which
include certain risks and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties include the rate of market development and acceptance of medical imaging
technology, the unpredictability of the Company's sales cycle, the limited revenues and significant operating losses generated to date, and the
possibility of significant ongoing capital requirements. The Company's main operating currency is UK sterling (£).
The Company has identified a number of specific risk areas that may effect the Company's operations and results in the future:
Technical Risks. The Medicsight system may not deliver the levels of accuracy and reliability needed, or the development of such
accuracy and reliability may be delayed.
Market Risks. The market for the Medicsight™ system may be slower to develop or smaller than estimated or it may be more difficult
to build the market than anticipated. The medical community may resist the Medicsight™ system or be slower to accept it than we expect.
Revenues from the Lifesyne scanning centers and the licensing of the Medicsight™ system may be delayed or costs may be higher than
expected which may result in the Company requiring additional funding.
Regulatory Risks. The Medicsight™ system is subject to numerous regulatory requirements in both the United States and Europe
covering not just approval for the use of the Medicsight™ system, but also retention of personal medical records and regulations concerning
the use of radiation.
Competitive Risks. There are a number of groups and organizations, such as software companies in the medical imaging field, scanner
manufacturers, screening companies and other healthcare providers, that have an interest in developing a competitive offering to the
Medicsight™ system. We cannot make any assurance that they will not attempt to develop such offerings, that they will not be successful in
developing such offereings or that any offerings they do develop will not have a competitive edge versus the Medicsight™ system.
We have restructured our business to focus more closely on the medical imaging applications derived from our original core technology.
We have concluded the process of incorporating all research, software development, management and marketing activities related to our
medical imaging initiatives into MS-PLC. In November 2001 assets were transferred from our other subsidiaries to MS-PLC and the costs
incurred on the development of the Medicsight™system (our state-of-the-art digital expert recognition software system for digital data derived
from medical imaging hardware) were reimbursed and assigned by way of a loan note from MS-PLC. The amount of the loan note to
Medicsight, Inc. was £3,659,104, and this loan note was converted into 57,868,582 ordinary shares of MS-PLC issued to the Company and
15,000,000 ordinary shares of MS-PLC issued to the former parent of Insights in November 2001.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2002 vs. Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2001
Revenues. For Fiscal 2002 the Company's gross revenues from operations were $82,000. For Fiscal 2001, the Company's gross
revenues from operations were $225,000. Revenues were reduced as Software completed its outstanding maintenance contracts during the
year. The Company's revenue was primarily derived from the Company's consulting activities provided by Software. As Software was sold to
an independent third party on October 28, 2002, the revenues derived from software maintenance will not recur during the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2003.
During Fiscal 2002 the Company had two customers that represented 98.8% of its revenues. The customers are Commonwealth
During Fiscal 2002 the Company had two customers that represented 98.8% of its revenues. The customers are Commonwealth
Secretariat, which accounted for 67.1% of sales, respectively, and Texaco Ltd., which accounted for 31.7% of sales. During Fiscal 2001, we
had three customers who represented a significant portion of our revenues. The customers are Commonwealth Secretariat, which accounted
for 29.8% of sales, Eidos Interactive, which accounted for 25.8% of sales and Texaco, which accounted for 22.7% of sales.
Research and Development. The Company's research and development expenses for Fiscal 2002 were $1,239,000 as compared to
$1,266,000 Fiscal 2001. The Company's research and development costs were comprised of staff and consultancy costs expensed on the
development of the Medicsight™system. We cannot predict the amount of additional expenditures that will be necessary prior to achieving
commercialization of our products. It is anticipated that the Company will begin to release the software products it is currently developing
subject to satisfactory technical development and regulatory approval in late 2003. The Company expects its software products to generate
income from the Lifesyne™ centers within the United Kingdom at that time, with income from licensing fees being generated beginning in
2004.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. The Company's selling, general and administrative expenses for Fiscal 2002 were
$10,619,000 as compared to $10,522,000 for Fiscal 2001. Professional fees, including consulting services, were $1,565,000 for Fiscal 2002
as compared to $1,466,000 in Fiscal 2001. Also included were salaries and directors' compensation of $3,988,000 in Fiscal 2002 and
$2,788,000 in Fiscal 2001, service charges and rates for property leasing of $422,000 in Fiscal 2002 and $957,000 in Fiscal 2001, and rent of
$455,000 in Fiscal 2002 and $495,000 in Fiscal 2001. The increase in salaries and directors' compensation was due to the general increase in
seniority and number of staff in addition to redundancy costs. The reduction in service charges and rent is due to the Company having sold its
lease on its Curzon St. offices in September 2001. Management expects selling, general and administrative expenses to continue at a level
similar to the current level in the near future as the Company continues to devote resources to the expansion of the Company.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense. Effective January 1, 2002 with the adoption of SFAS No. 142, goodwill will no longer be
amortized. Prior to January 1, 2002, goodwill was amortized on a straight-line basis over 5 years. The amortization charge for Fiscal 2001 was
$15,385,000.
During Fiscal 2000, the Company acquired an intangible asset from Nightingale consisting of technology valued at $22,470,000. Under
SFAS No.142, this is considered an intangible asset with a definite life of 5 years. Therefore the value of the asset is amortized on a straight-
line basis over this period. The amortization charge for the Fiscal 2002 was $4,494,000 as compared to $4,662,000 for Fiscal 2001. The
Company evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company's assessment for impairment of an asset involves estimating the
undiscounted cash flows expected to result from use of the asset and its eventual disposition. An impairment loss recognized is measured as
the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. No impairment of intangibles was recorded in Fiscal
2002. In Fiscal 2001, the intangible assets of Software were deemed fully impaired, as Software ceased developing its
15
in-house software. In addition, in Fiscal 2002 the "Value of Workforce" intangible of Insights was deemed fully impaired, as the employees to
which such intangible related left the employment of the Company.
Impairment of Excess of Purchase Price Over Net Assets Acquired. For Fiscal 2002 and Fiscal 2001, the Company had excess of
purchase price over net assets acquired of $100,119,000 and $88,919,000 respectively. The increase in Fiscal 2002 of $11,200,000 was due to
the Company acquiring an additional 7,000,000 shares in MS-PLC. The excess of purchase price over net assets acquired of $88,919,000 was
primarily attributable to the Company's acquisition of Insights. As stated above, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142 on January 1, 2002.
Under this standard, goodwill will no longer be amortized over its estimated useful life, but instead will be tested for impairment on an annual
basis or whenever indicators of impairment arise. The Company completed its transitional impairment tests in the quarter ended June 30, 2002
and no impairment was recorded. Prior to January 1, 2002, goodwill was tested for impairment in a manner consistent with property, plant and
equipment and intangible assets with a definite life.
Impairment Loss on Investments. For Fiscal 2002, the Company incurred an impairment loss on investments of $175,000 relating to
the impairments in the carrying value of Eurindia PLC ("Eurindia") and Top Tier, Inc. The management of Eurindia recently valued its
investment portfolio at $0.83 per share. As a result the Company incurred an impairment of $145,000 on the carrying value of its investment.
Based on the financial status of Top Tier, Inc, the investment was permanently impaired, and the Company recorded an impairment for the
entire carrying value, $30,000, of this investment. For Fiscal 2001, investments of $2,412,000 were impaired, comprised primarily of an
investment in Compaer AG. The Company recorded an impairment for the entire carrying value of this investment.
Impairment of Vendor Guarantee. Impairment of a vendor guarantee in the amount of $6,773,000 and $9,109,000 for Fiscal 2002 and
Fiscal 2001 respectively relates to an impairment of the guarantee provided by Dr. Alexander Nill as to the fair value of certain assets acquired
under the Company's acquisition of Core Ventures Limited ("Core") in September 2000. The vendor guarantee represents the fair value of
1,195,000 shares, the proceeds of the sale of which are to be remitted to the Company as mentioned above. We have estimated the value of the
guarantee as the value of the common stock, based on the recent history of the stock price, giving an estimated realizable value of $3,227,000
Net Loss and Net Loss per Share. Net loss was $17,715,000 for Fiscal 2002 compared to a net loss of $45,845,000 for Fiscal 2001.
Net loss per share for Fiscal 2002 was $0.92, based on weighted average shares outstanding of 19,294,654, compared to a net loss per share
of $2.47 for Fiscal 2001, based on weighted average shares outstanding of 18,563,404. The reduction in net loss for Fiscal 2002, is
principally due to the cessation of amortization of goodwill under SFAS No.142 and reductions in the impairments of the vendor guarantee,
investments and goodwill.
Related Party Transactions. On November 20, 2001, Asia IT entered into a £10,000,000 ($16,000,000) credit facility with MS-PLC.
Such facility ceases in November 2004 and is secured by a lien on all of the assets of MS-PLC. Interest on outstanding amounts accrues at 2%
above GBP LIBOR. Pursuant to such credit facility, MS-PLC had covenanted to undertake a public offering of its ordinary shares in an
above GBP LIBOR. Pursuant to such credit facility, MS-PLC had covenanted to undertake a public offering of its ordinary shares in an
amount not less than £25,000,000 not later than March 2002. MS-PLC did not complete such an offering but the facility nevertheless remains
in place. The loan is convertible into ordinary shares in MS-PLC on announcement of an Offer to Subscribe, Placing or other public offering
of its ordinary shares, at the same price per share as the offering price. Due to the private offering being undertaken by MS-PLC, the loan is
currently convertible. In addition ASIA IT Capital Investments Limited acquired approximately 7,080,000 MS-PLC shares from the
15 million shares issued to Nightingale Technologies as part of the Insights acquisition. On December 23, 2002, the Company entered into a
share swap with General Nominees and Asia IT Nominees whereby the Company issued 1,866,666 shares to General Nominees (1,674,894
shares) and Asia IT Nominees (191,772 shares) in return for 7,000,000 MS-PLC shares held by General Nominees (6,280,852 shares) and
Asia IT Nominees (719,148 shares) respectively.

The Company's corporate offices at 46 Berkeley Square are leased by International Cellulose Company Limited (ICCL), a company
registered in England and Wales. STG, the majority stockholder of the Company, acquired 100% of the issued share capital of International
Cellulose Company Limited in November 2001. Rent on 46 Berkeley Square is managed by Berkeley Square Ventures Limited (BSV), a
property management company incorporated in England and Wales. Berkeley Square Ventures Limited estimates the rental space occupied by
the tenants and collects the rents from the tenants (including the Company and ICCL) on behalf of ICCL. There are no formal leases between
BSV and the tenants or a formal agreement between ICCL and BSV for BSV to collect the rent due. In Fiscal 2002 the Company paid BSV
$399,000 in rent (Fiscal 2001: $285,000). The increase in rent paid by the Company resulted from the Company's use of more space at 46
Berkeley Square due to an increase in personnel.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments. As of December 31, 2002, the Company has capital lease obligations of $74,000. These
obligations require monthly payments of $3,000, including interest computed at the rate of 0.58% per month, through March 2005 and are
secured by the underlying equipment. The Company is currently negotiating a number of other capital lease obligations.
We do not currently have any property lease obligations. However, we have negotiated and are in the process of finalizing a formal,
written lease for the Lifesyne™ scanning center at Ravenscourt Hospital. We expect obligations in connection with such lease to amount to
approximately $80,000 over the next five years. We are also currently negotiating further property leases for Lifesyne™ scanning centers.
Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2001 vs. Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2000
Revenues. For Fiscal 2001, our gross revenues from operations were $225,000, as compared to $514,000 in Fiscal 2000. We have
relied heavily upon proceeds from the sale of our securities and a credit facility from one of our stockholders to fund our operations. Revenue
is recognized as software maintenance services are performed, in accordance with the terms of the contractual arrangement, where persuasive
evidence of an arrangement exists, the fee is fixed and determinable and collection is reasonably assured.
Our revenues for Fiscal 2001 and 2000 were primarily comprised of software product consulting and support services. During Fiscal
2001, we had three customers who represented a significant portion of our revenues. The customers are Commonwealth Secretariat, which
accounted for 29.8% of sales, Eidos Interactive, which accounted for 25.8% of sales and Texaco, which accounted for 22.7% of sales. In
Fiscal 2000 the customers were Red Cube AG, which accounted for 26.7% of sales (of which $74,000 was allowed as doubtful), Radical
Technology PLC (prior to acquisition), which accounted for 19.3% of sales, and Nightingale Technologies Ltd (prior to acquisition), which
accounted for 25.7% of sales.
The decrease in the revenues from Fiscal 2000 to Fiscal 2001 is due to the change in focus of Software's operations from providing
software consulting services to third parties to providing testing and development services to the group on the Medicsight system and the
Stochastic Perception Engine.
Selling, General And Administrative Expenses. Our selling, general and administrative expenses were $10,522,000 in Fiscal 2001
compared to $5,785,000 for Fiscal 2000. The increase was due to an increase in staff and directors' compensation from $1,446,000 in Fiscal
2000 to $2,788,000 in Fiscal 2001. In addition, we moved to larger offices at 46 Berkeley Square in early 2001 to accommodate the increased
staff numbers at the London office as Software staff were moved from the Company's Croydon office. This increased rent and service charges
from $315,000 in Fiscal 2000 to $1,452,000 in Fiscal 2001. Professional fees, including technology development and consulting services,
were $1,466,000 in Fiscal 2001 and $2,628,000 in Fiscal 2000. The reduction is due to the Company no longer having these consulting
contracts outstanding. In addition the Company amortised $4,494,000 of
17
intangibles relating to the purchase of the Insights Technology from Nightingale during Fiscal 2001.We expect selling, general and
administrative expenses to continue at a similar level in the near future as we continue to devote resources to the expansion of the Company.
Software Development Costs Written Off. During Fiscal 2001 software development costs of $77,000 were written off as the projects
concerned (Addserver—structure advertising software and Callanalysis -a website) were halted. During Fiscal 2000, we wrote off $2,020,000
in software development costs. These costs include $1,878,000 previously capitalized upon the acquisition of Software, but which was
subsequently written off during the year. We decided to write off such costs because, after we acquired Software, we altered the strategic
direction of Software to focus its resources on other projects, particularly the Stochastic Perception Engine project (the proprietary technology
of Insights). Therefore, the software development costs written off were written down to an assessed net realizable value of zero. Software
development costs also include $182,000 of in-process research and development costs that we wrote off when we acquired Software in
April 2000.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense. We had excess of purchase price over net assets acquired of $10,155,000, associated with the
acquisition of Software. We received the shares of Insights on December 29, 2000; however we were not required to pay any consideration
for such shares unless certain conditions were met. On February 22, 2001, the first of these conditions was met, and as such we issued the
first tranche of consideration of 5,000,000 shares, valued at $93,000,000 based on a weighted average share price of $18.60 per share.
Subsequent to September 30, 2001, upon agreement with the seller of Insights and in variance of the conditions precedent set forth in the
original agreement, the parties agreed that the obligation to issue the second tranche of contingent consideration may be satisfied by the direct
issuance of shares in MS-PLC to Nightingale, the seller of Insights. On November 22, 2001, MS-PLC issued 15,000,000 shares in MS-PLC
to Nightingale, and Nightingale accepted such shares in satisfaction of our obligation under the original purchase agreement. The shares were
valued at £1.00 ($1.60) (par value £0.05) based on the share price of stock being allotted by MS-PLC. These issuances gave rise to an excess
of purchase price over net assets acquired of $102,313,000 from our acquisition of Insights.
Our policy was to amortize goodwill over five years. Effective January 1, 2002 with the adoption of SFAS No. 142, goodwill will no
longer be amortized. The amortization charge for Fiscal 2001 was $15,385,000 compared to $1,260,000 for Fiscal 2000. This significant
increase in amortization charge is primarily due to the amortization associated with the acquisition of Insights.
The Company acquired intangibles from Software of Value of Workforce, $321,000 (expected useful life 4 years), Value of Trademark,
$46,000 (2 years useful life), Value of Existing Contracts, $96,000 (2 years useful life). The Company acquired intangibles from Insights of
the Technology, with a value of $22,470,000 (expected useful life 5 years) and Value of Workforce, $180,000 (expected useful life 2 years).
The amortisation charge for Fiscal 2001 was $4,662,000 and the charge for Fiscal 2000 was $143,000. As Software is no longer developing
its in-house software we have fully impaired the Software intangibles. In addition we have fully impaired the Insights Value of Workforce as
the initial employees have left the company.
Impairment of Goodwill. Impairment of goodwill relates to the excess purchase price over net assets acquired on the acquisition of
Software. In Fiscal 2001, the impairment was $7,217,000. We have fully impaired the goodwill as Software is no longer developing its own
in-house technology.
Impairment Loss on Investments. Impairment loss on investments of $2,412,000 relates to the impairment in the carrying values of
Compaer AG, Red Cube AG and other immaterial investments. Based on the financial status of Compaer AG and Red Cube AG, the
investments were permanently impaired, and the Company has recorded an impairment for the entire carrying value of these
18
investments. Impairment loss on investments in Fiscal 2000 of $225,000 relates to the impairment in the carrying value of one of the
Company's minority investments, Strategic Intelligence.
Impairment of Vendor Guarantee. Impairment of a vendor guarantee in the amount of $9,109,000 relates to an impairment of the
guarantee provided by Dr. Alexander Nill as to the fair value of certain assets acquired under the Company's acquisition of Core in
September 2000. The vendor guarantee represents the fair value of 1,195,000 shares, the proceeds of the sale of which are to be remitted to the
Company as mentioned above.
Net Loss and Net Loss per Share. Our net loss for Fiscal 2001 was $45,845,000, compared to a net loss for Fiscal 2000 of
$8,714,000. Our net loss for Fiscal 2001 included amortization of goodwill of $15,385,000 and impairment of goodwill of $7,217,000. Our
loss per share for Fiscal 2001 was $2.47 based on weighted average shares outstanding of 18,563,404, compared to net loss per share for
Fiscal 2000 of $0.72, based on weighted average shares outstanding of 12,127,814.
Related Party Transactions. As more fully discussed in Note 9, during September 2000, the Company acquired 100% of the
outstanding stock of Core Ventures Limited. At the time of this transaction, Dr. Alexander Nill was a Director of the Company and principal
beneficial shareholder of Core Ventures Limited. In connection with this acquisition, Dr. Nill had guaranteed the valuation of the net assets of
Core Ventures Limited to be not less then $25,000,000 as of December 15, 2000. Dr. Nill resigned as a Director of the Company effective
February 27, 2001.
On December 27, 2000 Dr. Nill executed a Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") with the Company in which he admitted to
substantial liability under the personal guarantee. The MOU stipulated that the net assets of Core were estimated to be $2,540,000 and that the
warrants to purchase further Red Cube stock held by Core had no value. Dr. Nill acknowledged that he had been served by us with a formal
demand to honor his obligations to us pursuant to the terms of the personal guarantee provided by him as security for the Core acquisition.
The MOU provided inter alia that Troy was to provide a schedule of other assets having a value of not less than $10,900,000, such market
value to be determined by our independent auditors as being the fair market value as at the valuation date and which assets Dr. Nill was to
procure to be delivered by Troy to us or as we shall have directed within 21 days of the date of the MOU; that in consideration of our
forbearance to immediately sue him to enforce the personal guarantee Dr. Nill was to cause to be delivered within 7 days of the date of the
MOU 616,192 shares of our Common Stock (the equivalent of 924,282 shares pre-splits) with all necessary transfer details signed in blank.
Dr. Nill did not honor his obligations under the MOU and, notwithstanding our expectations and previous understandings, we were unable to
obtain effective enforcement, by means of escrow arrangements or otherwise, of the personal guarantee.
In the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2001, an agent, NYPPe, LLC, was assigned to dispose of shares owned by Dr. Nill in a
secondary private placement. As of December 31, 2001 5,000 of those shares (the equivalent of 15,000 shares pre-reverse split) had been
sold, resulting in net proceeds to the Company of $75,000.
On March 6, 2002, Core entered into voluntary liquidation proceedings. In accordance with the Companies Act governing companies
organized in the British Virgin Islands, Core appointed a liquidator to assess the fair value of its assets.
We do not consider that enforcement of the terms of the personal guarantee through legal action with a view to recovering against other
assets is likely to provide an effective remedy for us, and we have reached an oral understanding with Dr. Nill that the proceeds from the sale
of 1,195,000 shares of our Common Stock are to be remitted to us. We are reserving the rights and remedies that may be available to us in
respect of such shares and/or the proceeds of sales thereof and/or otherwise, in particular if he does not abide by such understanding.

As more fully discussed in Note 9, on December 29, 2000, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of HTTP
Insights Limited ("Insights"). ASIA IT Capital Investments Limited was a shareholder in Insights as well as the Company at the time of the
acquisition, and has provided a credit facility for up to $20,000,000. The credit facility originally was scheduled to expire on December 31,
2001, but has been extended to June 30, 2004. All advances under the credit facility accrue interest at 2% above US LIBOR. The Company is
restricted from borrowing funds, directly or indirectly, other than through the credit facility, without the consent of Asia IT.
On November 20, 2001, Asia IT entered into a £10,000,000 ($16,000,000) credit facility with MS-PLC. At the time, Asia IT was a
shareholder of the Company. Such facility ceases in November 2004 and is secured by a lien on all of the assets of MS-PLC. Interest on
outstanding amounts accrues at 2% above GBP LIBOR. Pursuant to such credit facility, MS-PLC had covenanted to undertake a public
offering of its ordinary shares in an amount not less than £25,000,000 not later than March 2002. MS-PLC did not complete such an offering
but the facility nevertheless remains in place. The loan is convertible into ordinary shares in MS-PLC on announcement of an Offer to
Subscribe, Placing or other public offering of its ordinary shares, at the same price per share as the offering price. Due to the private offering
being undertaken by MS-PLC, the loan is currently convertible. In addition ASIA IT Capital Investments Limited acquired approximately
7,080,000 MS-PLC shares from the 15 million shares issued to Nightingale Technologies as part of the Insights acquisition.
The Company's corporate offices at 46 Berkeley Square are leased by International Cellulose Company Limited (ICCL), a company
registered in England and Wales. STG, the majority stockholder of the Company, acquired 100% of the issued share capital of International
Cellulose Company Limited in November 2001. Rent on 46 Berkeley Square is managed by Berkeley Square Ventures Limited (BSV), a
property management company incorporated in England and Wales. Berkeley Square Ventures Limited estimates the rental space occupied by
the tenants and collects the rents from the tenants (including the Company and ICCL) on behalf of ICCL. There are no formal leases between
BSV and the tenants or a formal agreement between ICCL and BSV for BSV to collect the rent due. In 2001 the Company paid BSV
$285,000 in rent.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Working Capital. At December 31, 2002, the Company had $2,284,000 in current assets. Cash and cash equivalents amounted to
$1,778,000. Current liabilities were $8,945,000 at December 31, 2002. At December 31, 2001, the Company had $657,000 in current assets
and cash and cash equivalents amounted to $203,000. Current liabilities were $5,862,000 at December 31, 2001. Working capital deficit at
December 31, 2002 was $(6,661,000), as compared to $(5,205,000) at December 31, 2001. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was
0.26 to 1.0 at December 31, 2002 as compared to 0.11 to 1.0 at December 31, 2001. The increase is primarily due to the increase in cash and
cash equivalents. At December 31, 2000, the Company had $6,856,000 in current assets, of which $6,231,000 consisted of cash and cash
equivalents. Current liabilities were $1,252,000. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 5.5 to 1.0 at the end of Fiscal 2000.
Net Increase in Cash and Cash Equivalents. During the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company's cash and cash equivalents
increased by $1,575,000 to $1,778,000. This increase was primarily the result of cash flows received from shares issued by MS-PLC and an
increase in short term debt offset by net cash used for operations and the purchase of fixed assets. The Company used net cash of $5,729,000
in operations. The Company received net cash of $7,779,000 in financing activities and used $462,000 in investing activities. During Fiscal
2000, the Company's cash and cash equivalents increased by $5,725,000. This increase was primarily the result of net cash provided by
financing activities in the amount of $11,789,000. The Company used net cash of $3,386,000 in operations and $2,658,000 in investment
activities during Fiscal 2000.
20
Net Cash Used in Operations. The use of cash in operations of $5,729,000 in the year ended December 31, 2002, was attributable to
the Company's relatively minimal revenues at the same time that the Company incurred significant operating costs. These significant costs
included professional fees, salaries and director compensation, and service charges associated with rental property and rent. The Company
used cash in operations in the year ended December 31, 2001 of $5,948,000. The main components of the decrease are reduction in property
costs of $666,000 and PR costs of $164,000. The Company used cash in operations in the year ended December 31, 2000 (its first full year of
trading) of $3,386,000. These significant costs included professional fees, salaries and director compensation, and rent, all of which result
from the Company's commencement of operations and expansion of its infrastructure to support such operations.
Net Cash Used in Investment Activities. In the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company had a net cash outflow from investment
activities of $462,000. The Company used the funds to purchase additional fixed assets, the majority of which were the build-out costs of the
first Lifesyne center. In year ended December 31, 2001, the Company had a net cash inflow from investment activities of $1,572,000. Such
funds were received in the year ended December 31, 2001, from the sale of the Company's shareholding in MDA Group PLC and of funds
received from shares sold under the shareholder guarantee. For Fiscal 2000, the Company had a net cash outflow from investment activities of
$2,658,000. Such funds were used for software development of $86,000 at Software and the purchase of fixed assets for $464,000. Cash paid
for investments of $2,109,000 relates to minority interests in Compaer AG of $1,211,000, Eurindia of $633,000 and Strategic Intelligence of
$262,000. The Company intends to open additional Lifesyne™ centers, which will require significant material capital expenditure. The
Company currently does not have any such commitments but is negotiating for agreements that will result in both property and capital leases.
Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities. In the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company had a net cash inflow from financing
activities of $7,779,000. The funds received in the year ended December 31, 2002, comprised of $6,773,000 received from the private offering
of MS-PLC stock. At December 31, 2002, 6,131,418 shares had been issued under this offering. In addition the Company received
$1,006,000 drawndown under the Asia IT facility. For the year ended December 31, 2001, the Company had a net cash outflow from
financing activities of $1,615,000. These funds were used in reducing overdraft and debt. In Fiscal 2000, the Company received net cash of
$11,789,000 from financing activities, primarily due to the issuance during the year of shares of Common Stock for net proceeds of
$15,480,000. Cash provided by share issuances included $10,000,000 from a private placement of shares in May 2000, $5,000,000 from a
private placement in the first quarter of Fiscal 2000 and $1,000,000 from the conversion of warrants in May 2000.
Stockholders' Equity. The Company's stockholders' equity at year ended December 31, 2002 was $107,807,000, including an
accumulated deficit of $(72,174,000), as compared to $101,853,000 at December 31, 2001, including an accumulated deficit of $(54,459,000).
Additional paid-in capital was $182,897,000 and $166,337,000, at year ended December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001 respectively. The
increase in stockholders' equity was a result of an increase in accumulated deficit of $17,715,000 offset by a decrease in the vendor guarantee
of $6,773,000 and an increase in additional paid-in capital of $16,559,000. The increased additional paid-in capital resulted from the placement
of MS-PLC stock (par value approximately $0.08 per share) at a premium of approximately $1.42 per share and the issuance by the Company
of 1,866,666 at $6 per share, in exchange for a further 7,000,000 shares of MS-PLC from existing stock-holders of MS-PLC.
Additional Capital. The Company will require additional capital during its fiscal year ending December 31, 2003 to implement its
business strategies, including cash for (i) payment of increased operating expenses such as salaries for additional employees; (ii) capital
expenditure relating to the opening of additional Lifesyne™ centers and (iii) further implementation of those business strategies.
21
Such additional capital may be raised through additional public or private financing, as well as borrowings and other resources. Currently, the
Company has two available lines of credit.
On December 15, 2000, the Company entered into an unsecured credit facility with Asia IT which provides a $20,000,000 line of credit.
Such line of credit originally expired on December 31, 2001, but has been extended until June 30, 2004. Interest on advances under the credit
facility accrues at 2% above US LIBOR. The Company can draw down on this credit facility for its financing requirements, upon approval by
the Company's Board of Directors and subject to approval by Asia IT (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld). The Company is
restricted from borrowing funds, directly or indirectly, other than through the credit facility with Asia IT, without the consent of Asia IT. The
availability of the credit facility reduces upon the Company's sale of any of its investment assets. The amounts drawn and interest charged
under this facility are repayable on demand or at the maturity of the facility.
On November 20, 2001, Asia IT entered into a £10,000,000 ($16,000,000) credit facility with MS-PLC. Such facility ceases in
November 2004 and is secured by a lien on all of the assets of MS-PLC. Interest on outstanding amounts accrues at 2% above GBP LIBOR.
Pursuant to such credit facility, MS-PLC had covenanted to undertake a public offering of its ordinary shares in an amount not less than
£25,000,000 not later than March 2002. MS-PLC did not complete such an offering but the facility nevertheless remains in place. The loan is
convertible into ordinary shares in MS-PLC on announcement of an Offer to Subscribe, Placing or other public offering of its ordinary shares,
at the same price per share as the offering price. Due to the private offering being undertaken by MS-PLC, the loan is currently convertible. In
addition ASIA IT Capital Investments Limited acquired approximately 7,080,000 MS-PLC shares from the 15 million shares issued to
Nightingale Technologies as part of the Insights acquisition.
At December 31, 2002, the Company had drawn down $2,331,000 under the $20,000,000 facility with Asia IT, and MS-PLC had no
drawings under its £10,000,000 ($16,000,000) facility with Asia IT.
During March 2002, MS-PLC allotted 6,131,398 shares for private placement at £1.00 (approximately $1.50) per share (par value
£0.05). All shares were placed, and the offering closed on December 31, 2002. Asia IT underwrote the issue. The Company increased its
shareholding in MS-PLC by acquiring 1,258,718 shares under this issue for $2,014,000. As of December 31, 2002, MS-PLC had received
approximately $5,012,000 from the proceeds of such offering with the balance of approximately $1,761,000 being held by Asia IT on MS-
PLC's behalf. These funds were remitted to the Company between January and March 2003. The funds due by the Company for the MS-PLC
stock it purchased will be drawn down under its $20,000,000 facility with Asia IT and forwarded to MS-PLC as required.
On December 23, 2002, the Company entered into a share swap with General Nominees and Asia IT Nominees whereby the Company
issued 1,866,666 shares to General Nominees (1,674,894 shares) and Asia IT Nominees (191,772 shares) in exchange for 7,000,000 MS-
PLC shares held by General Nominees (6,280,852 shares) and Asia IT Nominees (719,148 shares) respectively.
To the extent that additional capital is raised through the sale of equity or equity-related securities of the Company or its subsidiaries, the
issuance of such securities could result in dilution to the Company's stockholders. No assurance can be given, however, that the Company will
have access to the capital markets in the future, or that financing will be available on acceptable terms to satisfy the Company's cash
requirements to implement its business strategies. If we are unable to access the capital markets or obtain acceptable financing, our results of
operations and financial conditions could be materially and adversely affected. We may be required to raise substantial additional funds
through other means. The products derived from our proprietary software, including the Medicsight™ system, are expected to account for
substantially all of our revenues from operations in the foreseeable future. Our technology has not yet been fully commercialized, and we have
not begun to receive any revenues from commercial operations. We cannot assure our stockholders that our technology and products will
22
be commercialized successfully, or that if so commercialized, that revenues will be sufficient to fund our operations. If adequate funds are not
available to us, we may be required to curtail operations significantly or to obtain funds through entering into arrangements with collaborative
partners or others that may require us to relinquish rights to certain of our technologies or products that we would not otherwise relinquish.

In December 2001 and January 2002, the Securities and Exchange Commission requested that all registrants list their three to five most
"critical accounting policies" in the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. The Securities
and Exchange Commission indicated a "critical accounting policy" is one which is both important to the portrayal of the company's financial
condition and results and requires management's most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make
estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. We believe that the following accounting policies fit the definition of critical
accounting policies.
Impairment of Long-lived Assets and Long-lived Assets To Be Disposed of. The Company evaluates the carrying value of long-lived
assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The
Company's assessment for impairment of an asset involves estimating the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from use of the asset and
its eventual disposition. An impairment loss recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair
value of the asset.
Impairment of Excess of Purchase Price Over Net Assets Acquired. The Company adopted SFAS No. 142 on January 1, 2002. Under
this standard, goodwill will no longer be amortized over its estimated useful life, but will be tested for impairment on an annual basis and
whenever indicators of impairment arise. Under the provisions of SFAS No. 142, any impairment loss identified upon adoption of this
standard is recognized as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. Any impairment loss incurred subsequent to the initial
adoption of SFAS No 142 is recorded as a charge to current period earnings. Under the transitional provisions of SFAS No. 142, the
Company's goodwill was tested for impairment as of January 1, 2002. The Company completed its impairment tests in the quarter to June 30,
2002 and no impairment was recorded.
Research and Development. Costs incurred in connection with the development of software products that are intended for sale are
accounted for in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 86, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be
Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed". Costs incurred prior to technological feasibility being established for the product are expensed as
incurred. Technological feasibility is established upon completion of a detail program design or, in its absence, completion of a working
model. Thereafter, all software production costs are capitalized and subsequently reported at the lower of unamortized cost or net realizable
value. Capitalized costs are amortized based on current and future revenue for each product with an annual
23
minimum equal to the straight-line amortization over the remaining estimated economic life of the product. Amortization commences when the
product is available for general release to customers.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities ("SFAS No. 146").
SFAS No. 146 addresses significant issues regarding the recognition, measurement, and reporting of costs associated with exit and disposal
activities, including restructuring activities. SFAS No. 146 also addresses recognition of certain costs related to terminating a contract that is
not a capital lease, costs to consolidate facilities or relocate employees, and termination benefits provided to employees that are involuntarily
terminated under the terms of a one-time benefit arrangement that is not an ongoing benefit arrangement or an individual deferred-
compensation contract. SFAS No. 146 is effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. The adoption of this
statement will not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosures", which
amended FASB Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation". Statement No. 148 provides alternative methods of
transition for a voluntary change to the fair-value-based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. Statement No. 148
amends the disclosure requirements of Statement No. 123 to require more prominent and more frequent disclosure in the financial statements
amends the disclosure requirements of Statement No. 123 to require more prominent and more frequent disclosure in the financial statements
about the effects of stock-based compensation. Statement No. 148 is effective for fiscal years ended after December 15, 2002. The Board of
Directors of MS-PLC is currently reviewing a stock option plan but it has yet to be implemented. If implemented the Company will adopt the
disclosure provisions of Statement No. 148 in its financial statements.
In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees,
Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others, an Interpretation of FASB Statements No. 5, 57, and 107 and Rescission of FASB
Interpretation No. 34" (FIN No. 45). The interpretation requires that upon issuance of a guarantee, the entity must recognize a liability for the
fair value of the obligation it assumes under that obligation. This interpretation is intended to improve the comparability of financial reporting,
by requiring identical accounting for guarantees issued with separately identified consideration and guarantees issued without separately
identified consideration. The disclosure provisions of FIN No. 45 are effective for the Company as of December 31, 2002. The Company
currently does not provide any guarantees.
In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" (FIN No. 46). The interpretation
clarifies the application of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51 "Consolidated Financial Statements" to certain entities in which equity
investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its
activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. FIN No.46 is applicable immediately for variable interest entities
created after January 31, 2003. For variable interest entities created prior to January 31, 2003, the provisions of FIN No. 46 are applicable no
later than July 1, 2003. The Company does not expect this Interpretation to have an effect on the consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 7A QUANTATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Interest Rate Risk
The Company's exposure to market risk associated with changes in interest rates relates to its debt obligations. The Company has the
following debt facilities all repayable on demand:
Debt Holder
Facility
Balance
Interest rate
At December 31
Nightingale Technologies Ltd
Asia IT Capital Investments Ltd
Asia IT Capital Investments Ltd
$
$
$
10,000,000 $
20,000,000 $
16,000,000 $
3,250,000 US Libor + 2%
2,331,000 US Libor + 2%
— GBP Libor + 2%
3.447%
3.447%
5.994%
A hypothetical 100 basis point adverse movement in interest rates would increase interest cost by approximately $56,000 per annum
assuming no further drawdowns or repayments are made.
Foreign Exchange Risk
The Company's exposure to market risk associated with changes in exchange rates relate to its debt facility with Nightingale
Technologies Ltd. This US$3.25m facility is translated into British Pounds as Finance accounts for its transactions in British Pounds and is
therefore exposed to fluctuations between British Pounds and U.S. Dollar rates. A hypothetical 100 basis point adverse movement ($1.50 to
$1.49 to £1.00) would increase the principal to repaid by $16,000.
The Company holds limited cash balances in British Pounds so any adverse movements in the exchange rates are considered immaterial.
The funds held by Asia IT in British Pounds on behalf of MS-PLC are significant and a hypothetical 100 basis point adverse movement
($1.50 to $1.49 to £1.00) would decrease the cash value in US$ by $13,000.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS.
Acquisition of Core Ventures, Ltd. In September 2000, we acquired Core Ventures Limited ("Core"), a privately held Internet venture
company, from Troy Limited, a Cayman corporation ("Troy"). Under the agreement, we issued 1,200,000 shares of our Common Stock for
100% of the outstanding stock of Core. Core's principal asset was an interest of less than 1% in Red Cube AG ("Red Cube"), a voice-over-IP
telecommunications provider, and warrants to purchase further shares (less than 3%) in Red Cube. The agreement provided in part that
Dr. Alexander Nill, a principal of Troy, personally guaranteed to us that, as of December 15, 2000, the fair market value of Core's net assets
would be not less than $25,000,000, such value to be determined by our independent auditors; and in the event of any shortfall, Dr. Nill
undertook to pay us, within 10 days following our written demand, any shortfall, in cash or securities. At the time of this transaction, Dr. Nill
was one of our directors. He resigned from that position, effective February 27, 2001.
On December 27, 2000 Dr. Nill executed a Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") in which he admitted to substantial liability under
the personal guarantee. The MOU stipulated that the net assets of Core were estimated to be $2,540,000 and that the warrants to purchase
further Red Cube stock held by Core had no value. Dr. Nill acknowledged that he had been served by us with a formal demand to honor his
obligations to us pursuant to the terms of the personal guarantee provided by him as security for the Core acquisition. The MOU provided
inter alia that Troy was to provide a schedule of other assets having a value of not less than $10,900,000, such market value to be determined
by our
32
independent auditors as being the fair market value as at the valuation date and which assets Dr. Nill was to procure to be delivered by Troy to
us or as we shall have directed within 21 days of the date of the MOU; that in consideration of our forbearance to immediately sue him to
enforce the personal guarantee Dr. Nill was to cause to be delivered within 7 days of the date of the MOU 616,192 shares of our Common
Stock (the equivalent of 924,282 shares pre-splits) with all necessary transfer details signed in blank. Dr. Nill did not honor his obligations
under the MOU and, notwithstanding our expectations and previous understandings, we were unable to obtain effective enforcement, by
means of escrow arrangements or otherwise, of the personal guarantee.
In the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2001, an agent, NYPPe, LLC, was assigned to dispose of shares owned by Dr. Nill in a
secondary private placement. As of December 31, 2001 5,000 of those shares (the equivalent of 15,000 shares pre-reverse split) had been
sold, resulting in net proceeds to the Company of $75,000.
On March 6, 2002, Core entered into voluntary liquidation proceedings. In accordance with the Companies Act governing companies
organized in the British Virgin Islands, Core appointed a liquidator to assess the fair value of its assets.
We do not consider that enforcement of the terms of the personal guarantee through legal action with a view to recovering against other
assets is likely to provide an effective remedy for us, and we have reached an oral understanding with Dr. Nill that the proceeds from the sale
of 1,195,000 shares of our Common Stock are to be remitted to us. We are reserving the rights and remedies that may be available to us in
respect of such shares and/or the proceeds of sales thereof and/or otherwise, in particular if he does not abide by such understanding.
Acquisition of Insights. On December 29, 2000, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Insights, formerly
known as Nightingale Technologies, Ltd., in a stock-for-stock transaction valued then at approximately $180 million (the "Insights Offer").
The Company received the shares of Insights on that date but, pursuant to the terms of the Insights Offer, was not required to pay any
consideration for the Insights shares until certain conditions were met. The first of these conditions, that the Company receive a validation by
DERA as to the technical and commercial viability of Insights' proprietary technology, was satisfied on February 22, 2001. As such, the
Company issued the first tranche of contingent consideration of 5,000,000 shares of its Common Stock on that date to Asia IT, Nightingale,
Emirates Nominees and other former shareholders of Insights on the instruction of Nightingale. As a result of such transactions, each of
Nightingale, Asia IT and Emirates Nominees became an owner of 5% or more of the Company's Common Stock. In connection with the
Company's recent corporate reorganization, the assets of Insights have been transferred and costs associated with the development of the
Medicsight™ system have been reimbursed and assigned by way of a loan note to MS-PLC. The amount of the loan note from the Company
was approximately $5,379,000, and this loan note has been converted into 58,828,582 ordinary shares of MS-PLC. Subsequent to
September 30, 2001, upon agreement with the seller of Insights and in variance of the conditions precedent set forth in the original agreement,
the parties agreed that the obligation to issue the second tranche of contingent consideration may be satisfied by the direct issuance of shares in
MS-PLC. On November 22, 2001, MS-PLC issued 15,000,000 shares in MS-PLC to Nightingale, and Nightingale accepted such shares in
satisfaction of the Company's obligation under the original purchase agreement. As of the date hereof, there is no public market for the MS-
PLC shares. At the time of this acquisition, Asia IT was a shareholder of Nightingale and also a shareholder owning more than 5% of our
PLC shares. At the time of this acquisition, Asia IT was a shareholder of Nightingale and also a shareholder owning more than 5% of our
Common Stock.
Credit Facilities from Asia IT. On December 15, 2000, the Company entered into an unsecured credit facility with Asia IT, which
provides a $20,000,000 line of credit. Such line of credit originally expired on December 31, 2001, but has been extended until June 30, 2004.
Interest on advances under the credit facility accrues at 2% above US LIBOR. The Company can draw down on this credit facility
33
for its financing requirements, upon approval by the Company's Board of Directors and subject to approval by Asia IT (such approval not to
be unreasonably withheld). The Company is restricted from borrowing funds, directly or indirectly, other than through the credit facility with
Asia IT, without the consent of Asia IT. The availability of the credit facility reduces upon the Company's sale of any of its investment assets.
As of the date of this Annual Report, the Company has drawn down $2,331,000 under this credit facility. The Company estimates that, in the
foreseeable future, it will need to further draw upon such credit facility in order to meet its liabilities as they come due.
On November 20, 2001, Asia IT entered into a £10,000,000 ($16,000,000) credit facility with MS-PLC. Such facility matures in
November 2004 and is secured by a lien on all of the assets of MS-PLC. Interest on outstanding amounts accrues at 2% above GBP LIBOR.
Pursuant to such credit facility, MS-PLC had covenanted to undertake a public offering of its ordinary shares in an amount not less than
£25,000,000 not later than March 2002. MS-PLC did not complete such an offering but the facility nevertheless remains in place. The loan is
convertible into ordinary shares in MS-PLC on announcement of an Offer to Subscribe, Placing or other public offering of its ordinary shares,
at the same price per share as the offering price. Due to the private offering being undertaken by MS-PLC, the loan is currently convertible. In
addition ASIA IT Capital Investments Limited acquired approximately 7,080,000 MS-PLC shares from the 15 million shares issued to
Nightingale Technologies as part of the Insights acquisition.
The Company's corporate offices at 46 Berkeley Square are leased by International Cellulose Company Limited (ICCL), a company
registered in England and Wales. STG, the majority stockholder of the Company, acquired 100% of the issued share capital of International

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
Board of Directors
Medicsight, Inc.
London, England
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Medicsight, Inc., formerly HTTP Technology, Inc., as of December 31,
2002 and December 31, 2001 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the years then
ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits. The financial statements of Medicsight, Inc as of December 31, 2000, and for the year then ended
were audited by other auditors who have ceased operations. Those auditors expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements in
their report dated April 11, 2001.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Medicsight, Inc. at December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
As discussed in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the consolidated financial statements, on January 1, 2002, the
Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets".

MEDICSIGHT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
(FORMERLY HTTP TECHNOLOGY, INC.)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) Organization and basis of presentation
Medicsight, Inc. (along with its subsidiaries, the "Company") is the successor consolidated entity formed by the reverse acquisition on
December 22, 1999 by Fairfax Equity Ltd (now Medicsight Finance Ltd) of Internet Holdings, Inc. a publicly-held company originally
incorporated in Utah in 1977, under the name, Trolley Enterprises, Inc. Fairfax Equity, Ltd. ("Fairfax"), which was treated as the accounting
acquirer in the transaction, was incorporated in the United Kingdom on October 18, 1999. Prior to its reverse acquisition by Fairfax, control of
the former Internet Holdings, Inc., as well as the corporate name, had changed many times. All prior operations had previously been
discontinued and all related claims and counterclaims were settled, the last of which settlements occurred in November 1999.
The Company is a developer of sophisticated software technology in the medical sector. The Company's business objective is to deliver
the Medicsight™system and to develop the Lifesyne™ centers and brand name.
In April 2000, the Company acquired Radical Technology PLC (now known as HTTP Software PLC) which provided the Company
with a business dedicated to systems integration and software development. In December 2000, the Company acquired Nightingale
Technologies Limited (now known as HTTP Insights Ltd.), the principal technology of which is a Stochastic Perception Engine, formerly
known as the Data Classification Engine.
A Stochastic Perception Engine processes and classifies unstructured data into meaningful outputs, enabling it to be viewed, interpreted
or further manipulated by the user of the application. Similar technologies sit at the core of many of today's major software applications.
The Company's Stochastic Perception Engine is comprised of four principal modules: cluster analysis, statistical modeling, classification
and prediction. This technology offers unsurpassed processing speed, accuracy and comprehensiveness of results when compared to existing
data classification or neural network based technologies. The Company is concentrating on the development and commercialization of the
Medicsight™ system and as such has effectively merged the Insights scientific department and the Software development department into
Medicsight PLC ("MS-PLC"). Software's own core technology has not been further developed since acquisition.
During November 2002 Insights transferred ownership of the Stochastic Perception Engine and the patent applications associated with
the technology to Medicsight Finance Limited ("Finance"—formerly Fairfax Equity Limited). Insights was sold to an independent third party
on December 6, 2002 for a nominal sum of $160.
Current contracts between Software and existing customers have been completed. Software was sold to an independent third party on
October 28, 2002 for a nominal sum of approximately $1,500. As of October 28, 2002 it had net assets of approximately $4,500.
On December 19, 2000, HTTP Technology, Inc. entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with its wholly-owned subsidiary HTTP
Technology, Inc., a Delaware corporation and thereby effected a re-incorporation of the Company from Utah to Delaware.
On October 28, 2002, the Company's name was changed from HTTP Technology, Inc. to Medicsight, Inc.
F-8
(2) Summary of significant accounting policies:
Principles of consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Medicsight, Inc. and its subsidiaries in which
it has a controlling interest. Subsidiaries acquired are consolidated from the date of acquisition. All inter-company accounts and transactions
have been eliminated in consolidation.
Cash and cash equivalents. The Company considers investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Accounts receivable. Accounts receivable are customer obligations due under normal trade terms and are stated at cost less any
allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company records an allowance for doubtful accounts based on specifically identified amounts that the
Company believes to be uncollectible. The balance for the years ended December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001 for provision of doubtful
accounts was $nil and $74,000, respectively.
Investments. Investments consist of equity ownership in various corporations. The Company records these investments at historical
cost, subject to any provision for impairment. For Fiscal 2002, the Company incurred an impairment loss on investments of $175,000 relating
to the impairments in the carrying value of Eurindia PLC and Top Tier, Inc. Based upon the management of Eurindia valuing the investment
portfolio at $0.83 per share the Company incurred an impairment of $145,000 on the carrying value of its investment. Based on the financial
status of Top Tier, Inc, the investment was permanently impaired, and the Company recorded an impairment for the entire carrying value
$30,000 of this investment. For Fiscal 2001, investments of $2,412,000 were impaired. Based on the financial status of Compaer AG the
investment was permanently impaired in Fiscal 2001, and the Company recorded an impairment for the entire carrying value of this
investment.
Property and equipment. Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated on the various asset classes over their
estimated useful lives, which range from two to five years. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the term of the lease.
Intangible assets. Intangible assets consist primarily of software development costs, trademarks, workforce and existing contracts.
These intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over two to five years. The Company evaluates the periods of amortization
continually to determine whether later events or circumstances warrant revised estimates of useful lives. The Company viewed the
development of the Medicsight™ system and staff changes as such and so intangible assets acquired from Software and Insights (Value of
Workforce) were fully impaired in Fiscal 2001. The balance of the intangibles relates to the Technology acquired from Insights for
$22,470,000. Accumulated amortization was $8,988,000 at December 31, 2002 and $4,494,000 at December 31, 2001.
Excess of purchase price over net assets acquired. Excess of purchase price over net assets acquired ("goodwill") represents the excess
of acquisition purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired. To the extent possible, a portion of the excess purchase price is
assigned to identifiable intangible assets. Effective January 1, 2002 with the adoption of SFAS No. 142, goodwill is no longer to be
amortized. Prior to January 1, 2002, goodwill was amortized on a straight-line basis over 5 years.
For Fiscal 2002 and Fiscal 2001, the Company had excess of purchase price over net assets acquired of $100,119,000 and $88,919,000
For Fiscal 2002 and Fiscal 2001, the Company had excess of purchase price over net assets acquired of $100,119,000 and $88,919,000
(net of amortization of $16,645,000) respectively. The
F-9
increase in Fiscal 2002 of $11,200,000 was due to the Company acquiring an additional 7,000,000 shares in MS-PLC by way of a share
swap. The consideration for the MS-PLC stock was 1,866,666 shares in the Company's stock valued at $6.00 per share. The excess of
purchase price over net assets acquired of $88,919,000 was from the Company's acquisition of Insights. The goodwill attributable to the
Insights acquisition comprises the first tranche of 5 million shares issued by the Company of $67,087,000 and the second tranche of
15 million shares issued by MS-PLC on behalf of the Company of $21,832,000, both amounts stated after amortisation.
Impairment of excess of purchase price over net assets acquired. The Company adopted SFAS No. 142 on January 1, 2002. Under
this standard, goodwill will be tested for impairment on an annual basis or whenever indicators of impairment arise. The Company completed
its transitional impairment tests in the quarter ended June 30, 2002 and no impairment was recorded. Prior to January 1, 2002, goodwill was
tested for impairment in a manner consistent with property, plant and equipment and intangible assets with a definite life.
The goodwill attributable to the acquisition of Software has been fully impaired as at December 31, 2001 in response to the halt on the
development of its own software to concentrate on the Medicsight™ system. An impairment of $6,906,000 was recorded. A further
impairment of the goodwill acquired on the acquisition of Software of $311,000 was recorded after comparing preliminary estimates with a
valuation undertaken on behalf of the company.
Impairment of long-lived assets and long-lived assets to be disposed of. The Company evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets
for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The
Company's assessment for impairment of an asset involves estimating the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from use of the asset and
its eventual disposition. An impairment loss recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair
value of the asset.
Foreign currency translation. The accounts of the Company's foreign subsidiaries are maintained using the local currency as the
functional currency. For these subsidiaries, assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at year-end exchange rates, and income and
expense accounts are translated at average monthly exchange rates. Net gains and losses from foreign currency translation are excluded from
operating results and are accumulated as a separate component of stockholders' equity.
Gains and losses on foreign currency transactions are reflected in current operating results.
Revenue recognition. Revenue is recognized as services are performed, in accordance with the terms of the contractual arrangement,
where persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the fee is fixed and determinable and collection is reasonably assured.
The Company's principal revenues in Fiscal 2002 and Fiscal 2001 relate to maintenance and support services for contracts entered into by
Software. These support services have now been completed and future revenues will be derived from such services as scanning, licensing of
the software and franchising services.
Research and development. Costs incurred in connection with the development of software products that are intended for sale are
accounted for in accordance with Statement of Financial
F-10
Accounting Standards No. 86, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed". Costs incurred
prior to technological feasibility being established for the product are expensed as incurred. Technological feasibility is established upon
completion of a detail program design or, in its absence, completion of a working model. Thereafter, all software production costs are
capitalized and subsequently reported at the lower of unamortized cost or net realizable value. Capitalized costs are amortized based on current
and future revenue for each product with an annual minimum equal to the straight-line amortization over the remaining estimated economic life
of the product. Amortization commences when the product is available for general release to customers.
The Company's research and development expenses for Fiscal 2002 were $1,239,000 as compared to $1,266,000 Fiscal 2001. The
Company has expensed these costs as the Medicsight™ system had not reached technical feasibility at December 31, 2002.
During Fiscal 2001 software development costs of $77,000 were written off as the projects concerned (Addserver—structure advertising
software and Callanalysis -a website) were halted. During Fiscal 2000, the Company wrote off $2,020,000 in software development costs.
These costs include $1,878,000 previously capitalized upon the acquisition of Software, but which was subsequently written off during the
year. The Company decided to write off such costs because, after Software was aquired, the Company altered the strategic direction of
Software to focus its resources on other projects, particularly the Stochastic Perception Engine project (the proprietary technology of Insights).
Therefore, the software development costs written off were written down to an assessed net realizable value of zero. Software development
costs also include $182,000 of in-process research and development costs that we wrote off when the Company acquired Software in
April 2000.
Income taxes. The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes", to
account for deferred income taxes. Deferred taxes are computed based on the tax liability or benefit in future years of the reversal of temporary
differences in the recognition of income or deduction of expenses between financial and tax reporting purposes. The net difference, if any,
differences in the recognition of income or deduction of expenses between financial and tax reporting purposes. The net difference, if any,
between the provision for taxes and taxes currently payable is reflected in the balance sheet as deferred taxes. Deferred tax assets and/or
liabilities, if any, are classified as current and noncurrent based on the classification of the related asset or liability for financial reporting
purposes, or based on the expected reversal date for deferred taxes that are not related to an asset or liability. Valuation allowances are
recorded to reduce deferred tax assets to that amount which is more likely than not to be realized.
Loss per share. Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing net income or loss attributable to the ordinary shareholders by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is calculated by dividing the net income or
loss attributable to the ordinary shareholders by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and the diluted
potential ordinary shares.
Comprehensive loss. Comprehensive loss reflects the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and
other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. Comprehensive loss is comprised of net (loss) and foreign currency translation
adjustments.
F-11
Fair value of financial instruments. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 107, requires all entities to disclose the fair value of
certain financial instruments in their financial statements. Accordingly, the Company reports that the carrying amount of cash and cash
equivalents, accounts receivable, monetary prepayments, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, advances and short term debt approximates
fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.
Segment reporting. The Company follows the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, Disclosure About
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information". The approach designates the internal organization that is used by management for making
operating decisions and assessing performance as the source of the Company's reportable segments. SFAS No. 131 also requires disclosures
about products and services, geographic areas and major customers.
During Fiscal 2002 the Company had two customers who represented 98.8% of its revenues. All revenues were generated within the
United Kingdom. The customers are Commonwealth Secretariat, which accounted for 67.1% of sales, respectively, and Texaco Ltd., which
accounted for 31.7% of sales. During Fiscal 2001, we had three customers who represented a significant portion of our revenues. The
customers are Commonwealth Secretariat, which accounted for 29.8% of sales, Eidos Interactive, which accounted for 25.8% of sales and
Texaco, which accounted for 22.7% of sales. In Fiscal 2000 the customers were Red Cube AG, which accounted for 26.7% of sales (of which
$74,000 was allowed as doubtful), Radical Technology PLC (prior to acquisition), which accounted for 19.3% of sales, and Nightingale
Technologies Ltd (prior to acquisition), which accounted for 25.7% of sales.
Common Stock. The holder of each share of Common Stock outstanding is entitled to one vote per share.
Stock options. The Company accounts for stock options under the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion ("APB")
No. 25. Where options are issued to acquire a fixed number of shares with a fixed exercise price the intrinsic value measured at the grant date
is amortized over the vesting period of the options. All options issued in 2000 were subsequently cancelled in 2001. Currently there are no
stock options outstanding.
On March 20, 2003 the Board of Directors of MS-PLC approved in principle a stock option plan for its employees and reserved
4,000,000 shares of its common stock for issuance upon exercise of options granted under this plan. The plan has yet to be finalized and
implemented.
Options issued to non-employees are accounted for in accordance with the fair value method under SFAS No. 123. This requires the use
of an option pricing model, to determine the fair value of the option. Currently there are no stock options issued to non-employees. The
measurement date is the earlier of either of the following:
•
•
The date at which a commitment for performance is reached (a performance commitment) or
The date at which the counter party's performance is complete
Use of estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities at the date of the
F-12
financial statements as well as revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could vary from those estimates.
Recent accounting pronouncements.
In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities" ("SFAS No. 146").
SFAS No. 146 addresses significant issues regarding the recognition, measurement, and reporting of costs associated with exit and disposal
activities, including restructuring activities. SFAS No. 146 also addresses recognition of certain costs related to terminating a contract that is
not a capital lease, costs to consolidate facilities or relocate employees, and termination benefits provided to employees that are involuntarily
not a capital lease, costs to consolidate facilities or relocate employees, and termination benefits provided to employees that are involuntarily
terminated under the terms of a one-time benefit arrangement that is not an ongoing benefit arrangement or an individual deferred-
compensation contract. SFAS No. 146 is effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. The adoption of this
statement will not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosures", which
amended FASB Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation". Statement No. 148 provides alternative methods of
transition for a voluntary change to the fair-value-based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. Statement No. 148
amends the disclosure requirements of Statement No. 123 to require more prominent and more frequent disclosure in the financial statements
about the effects of stock-based compensation. Statement No. 148 is effective for fiscal years ended after December 15, 2002. The Board of
Directors of MS-PLC is currently reviewing a stock option plan but it has yet to be implemented. The Company will adopt the annual
disclosure provisions of Statement No. 148 in its financial statements and account for any options under APB 25.
In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees,
Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others, an Interpretation of FASB Statements No. 5, 57, and 107 and Rescission of FASB
Interpretation No. 34" (FIN No. 45). The interpretation requires that upon issuance of a guarantee, the entity must recognize a liability for the
fair value of the obligation it assumes under that obligation. This interpretation is intended to improve the comparability of financial reporting,
by requiring identical accounting for guarantees issued with separately identified consideration and guarantees issued without separately
identified consideration. The disclosure provisions of FIN No. 45 are effective for the Company as of December 31, 2002. The Company
currently does not provide any guarantees.
In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" (FIN No. 46), clarifies the
application of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51 "Consolidated Financial Statements" to certain entities in which equity investors do not
have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without
additional subordinated financial support from other parties. FIN No.46 is applicable immediately for variable interest created after January 31,
2003. For variable interest entities created prior to January 31, 2003, the provisions of FIN No. 46 are applicable no later than July 1, 2003.
The Company does not expect this Interpretation to have an effect on the consolidated financial statements.
(3) Investments
F-13
The Company accounts for its investments in non-marketable securities under the cost method of accounting as it owns less than a 20%
interest in each of the companies and does not have significant influence over the entities. The Company reviews each investment continually
to assess for other-than-temporary decreases in value in its investments. The Company reviews all available financial and non-financial data, in
assessing the extent of any impairment.
At December 31, 2002, the Company held the following investments:
•
•
A 6% holding in Eurindia PLC, a company which seeks to invest in small Indian IT services. During Fiscal 2002, the
Company recorded an impairment of $145,000, taking the carrying value of this investment to $489,000.
A 1% holding in Strategic Intelligence PLC, a market research company based in Singapore at $36,000. On April 19, 2000 the
Company purchased the holding in Strategic Intelligence PLC for cash of $262,000. As of December 31, 2000, the Company
viewed that the investment was permanently impaired by $225,000 based upon a valuation undertaken by a third party, and that
amount was written off.
On April 17, 2000 the Company purchased a 5% holding in Compaer AG, a supplier of online insurance for both business-to-business
and business-to-customer markets in Germany for cash of DM2.5 million ($1,211,000). Based on information received, in Q2 2001,
regarding the financial status of Compaer AG, management concluded that the value of investment was permanently impaired as Compaer
filed for insolvency in May 2001 and the Company has recorded an impairment write-down equivalent to the entire carrying value of this
investment.
The Company sold its interest in MDA Group PLC to STG Holdings PLC on March 23, 2001. See Note 8.
On September 20, 2000 the Company acquired Core Ventures Limited in a stock for stock acquisition. The principal asset of Core
Ventures Limited was an investment in Red Cube AG that was provisionally valued at $1,170,000. Based on the deteriorating financial status
of Red Cube AG, evidenced by non-payment of HTTP Software bills and the difficulty in obtaining information or responses from Red Cube
the management concluded that the value of the investment was permanently impaired, and the Company has recorded an impairment write-
down equivalent to the entire carrying value of this investment.
Based upon the deteriorating financial status the Company permanently fully impaired the value of its immaterial investment of $30,000
in Top Tier at June 30, 2002. The investment was acquired as part of its acquisition of Core Ventures Limited on September 20, 2000.

(5) Line of Credit
On December 15, 2000, the Company entered into an unsecured credit facility with ASIA IT Capital Investments Limited ("Asia IT"),
which provides a $20,000,000 line of credit. Such line of credit originally expired on December 31, 2001, but has been extended until June 30,
2004. Interest on advances under the credit facility accrue at 2% above US LIBOR. At December 31, 2002 US LIBOR was 1.447%. The
Company can draw down on this credit facility for its financing requirements, upon approval by the Company's Board of Directors and
subject to approval by Asia IT (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld). The Company is restricted from borrowing funds, directly or
indirectly, other than through the credit facility with Asia IT, without the consent of Asia IT. The availability of the credit facility reduces upon
the Company's sale of any of its investment assets.
On November 20, 2001, Asia IT entered into a £10,000,000 ($16,000,000) credit facility with MS-PLC. Such facility ceases in
November 2004 and is secured by a lien on all of the assets of MS-PLC. Interest on outstanding amounts accrues at 2% above GBP LIBOR.
Pursuant to such credit facility, MS-PLC had covenanted to undertake a public offering of its ordinary shares in an amount not less than
£25,000,000 not later than March 2002. MS-PLC did not complete such an offering and the facility nevertheless remains in place. The loan is
convertible into ordinary shares in MS-PLC on announcement of an Offer to Subscribe, Placing or other public offering of its ordinary shares,
at the same price per share as the offering price. Due to the private offering being undertaken by MS-PLC, the loan is currently convertible. In
addition ASIA IT Capital Investments Limited acquired approximately 7,080,000 MS-PLC shares from the 15 million shares issued to
Nightingale Technologies as part of the Insights acquisition. On December 23, 2002, the Company entered into a share swap with General
Nominees and Asia IT Nominees whereby the Company issued 1,866,666 shares to General Nominees (1,674,894 shares) and Asia IT
Nominees (191,772 shares) in return for 7,000,000 MS-PLC shares held by General Nominees (6,280,852 shares) and Asia IT Nominees
(719,148 shares) respectively.
At year ended December 31, 2002, the Company had drawn down $2,331,000 under the $20,000,000 facility with Asia IT, and
Medicsight had no drawings under its £10,000,000 ($16,000,000) facility with Asia IT.
During March 2002, Medicsight allotted 6,131,398 shares at £1.00 ($1.50) per share (par value £0.05) of which all shares have
subsequently been placed and the offering closed in December 2002. Asia IT underwrote the issue. The Company increased its shareholding
in Medicsight by acquiring
F-15
1,258,718 shares under this issue for $2,014,000. As of year ended December 31, 2002, Medicsight had received approximately $5,012,000
from the proceeds of such offering with the balance of approximately $1,761,000 being held by Asia IT on MS-PLC's behalf. These funds
were remitted to the Company between January and March 2003. The funds due by the Company to MS-PLC for the stock it purchased will
be drawndown under its $20,000,000 facility with Asia IT and forwarded to MS-PLC as required.
(6) Capital lease obligation
As of December 31, 2002, the Company was party to capital lease obligations in the amount of $74,000. These obligations require
monthly payments of $3,000, including interest, through August 2005 and are secured by the underlying equipment.
(7) Short-term Debt
The Company acquired Insights in December 2000. At the time of such acquisition, Insights had outstanding $6,006,000 of long-term
debt. This debt was part of the original loan of $10,000,000 that Insights owed to its parent company relating to the acquisition of patent
applications for its Stochastic Perception Engine technology. The loan did bear interest at 2% above US LIBOR and is unsecured. All interest
on the loan was forgiven prior to the principal being transferred to Finance on December 6, 2002. The interest forgiven was expensed in the
three fiscal years to December 31, 2002 as follows: $106,000 in fiscal 2002, $221,000 in fiscal 2001, and $178,000 in fiscal 2000. The
principal of the loan does not mature until December 6, 2004 and is interest free. As of December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001, the
balance of this loan was $3,250,000. The terms of the loan note include a provision whereby the lender can require repayment of the principal
by giving two months notice of demand. No notice has been given as of December 31, 2002 and management does not expect the notice to be
given.
(8) Stockholders' equity
On December 30, 2002, the Company effected a 1-for-3 reverse split (the "Split") of its Common Stock. As such, all share and per share
information in the accompanying financial statements have been restated to reflect the Split.
The Company sold its interest in MDA Group PLC to STG Holdings PLC, a major stockholder, on March 23, 2001 for the guaranteed
value of $1,660,000 representing an excess over book value of $1,000,000. As this amount represented a guarantee by a previous shareholder
this excess over book value is reflected as a contribution to stockholders' equity for the year ended December 31, 2001
In connection with the acquisition agreement with Fairfax Equity Ltd (now Medicsight Finance Ltd) on December 22, 1999, the
Company entered into a consulting agreement with an unrelated company to assist the Company with its strategy, expansion and financing.
Upon signing of the agreement, the Company issued 400,000 shares of common stock as consideration for services to be rendered over the
year ended December 22, 2000. The fair value of these shares was approximately $1,620,000, of which $1,580,000 was recorded as a prepaid
expense. The expense was recognized over the term of the contract.
(8) Stockholders' equity (Continued)
F-16
On October 25, 1999, Internet Holdings, Inc. raised $50,000 through the issuance of a convertible loan note (the "Note"). The Note was
offered pursuant to an exemption from registration under Section 4 (2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and/or Regulation S
promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The purpose of this funding was to enable the Company to file all outstanding
reports required by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and to search for suitable acquisition candidates in the Internet related
fields. The Note bore interest at 5.5% per annum. On January 24, 2000, the $50,000 convertible loan note was converted into 133,333 shares
of the Company's common stock.
On January 28, 2000, the Company sold 3,333,333 shares of common stock at a price of $1.50 per share pursuant to Regulation S. The
Company has agreed to register 25% of the shares under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. In consideration for underwriting the issue
in full, the underwriter received warrants to purchase up to 666,667 shares of common stock of the Company at a price of $1.50 per share.
The fair value of the warrants, which has been recorded as a reduction of the proceeds, is approximately $4,428,000. On May 12, 2000, the
underwriters exercised all the warrants for $1,000,000. The Company has not yet filed a registration statement in respect of these shares.
On November 20, 2000, the Company sold 533,333 shares of its common stock at a price of $18.75 per share pursuant to Regulation S.
The Company received proceeds of $9,747,625, net of $252,375 of expenses associated with this stock issuance.
On December 23, 2002 the Company entered into a share swap with General Nominees and Asia IT Nominees whereby the Company
would issue 1,866,666 shares to General Nominees (1,674,894 shares) and Asia IT Nominees (191,772 shares) in return for 7,000,000
Medicsight shares held by General Nominees (6,280,852 shares) and Asia IT Nominees (719,148 shares) respectively.
(9) Corporation acquisitions
On April 21, 2000, the Company acquired through a stock for stock tender offer approximately 76.73% of the outstanding ordinary
shares of Radical Technology PLC (subsequently renamed HTTP Software PLC) ("Software"). Through subsequent additional issuances of
stock the Company has acquired 99.5% of Software's outstanding common stock in exchange for 850,090 shares of the Company's common
stock which was valued at $12,748,000. The acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly,
the assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been recorded at their fair values as of the date of the acquisition. The excess of the purchase
price over the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed has been assigned to in process research and development, other
identifiable intangibles including trademarks, workforce, covenant not to compete, software development costs, existing contracts and the
remaining amount has been recorded as excess of purchase price over net assets acquired on the accompanying balance sheet. The fair values
have been based on an independent valuation. The value assigned to in-process research and development, $181,000, has been expensed and
is reflected in software development costs written off in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The costs incurred in the
acquisition of $277,000 are included in the cost of the investment. On acquisition the technology, and covenant not to compete were impaired
in full in Fiscal 2000 as the technology acquired was not to be developed into a commercial product. The trademark, contracts and workforce
were fully impaired by December 31, 2001.
F-17
In September 2000, we acquired Core Ventures Limited ("Core"), a privately held Internet venture company, from Troy Limited, a
Cayman corporation ("Troy"). Under the agreement, we issued 1,200,000 shares of our Common Stock for 100% of the outstanding stock of
Core. Core's principal asset was an interest of less than 1% in Red Cube AG ("Red Cube"), a voice-over-IP telecommunications provider, and
warrants to purchase further shares (less than 3%) in Red Cube. The agreement provided in part that Dr. Alexander Nill, a principal of Troy,
personally guaranteed to us that, as of December 15, 2000, the fair market value of Core's net assets would be not less than $25,000,000, such
value to be determined by our independent auditors; and in the event of any shortfall, Dr. Nill undertook to pay us, within 10 days following
our written demand, any shortfall, in cash or securities. At the time of this transaction, Dr. Nill was one of our directors. He resigned from that
position, effective February 27, 2001.
On December 27, 2000 Dr. Nill executed a Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") with the Company in which he admitted to
substantial liability under the personal guarantee. The MOU stipulated that the net assets of Core were estimated to be $2,540,000 and that the
warrants to purchase further Red Cube stock held by Core had no value. Dr. Nill acknowledged that he had been served by us with a formal
demand to honor his obligations to us pursuant to the terms of the personal guarantee provided by him as security for the Core acquisition.
demand to honor his obligations to us pursuant to the terms of the personal guarantee provided by him as security for the Core acquisition.
The MOU provided inter alia that Troy was to provide a schedule of other assets having a value of not less than $10,900,000, such market
value to be determined by our independent auditors as being the fair market value as at the valuation date and which assets Dr. Nill was to
procure to be delivered by Troy to us or as we shall have directed within 21 days of the date of the MOU; that in consideration of our
forbearance to immediately sue him to enforce the personal guarantee Dr. Nill was to cause to be delivered within 7 days of the date of the
MOU 616,192 shares of our Common Stock (the equivalent of 924,282 shares pre-splits) with all necessary transfer details signed in blank.
Dr. Nill did not honor his obligations under the MOU and, notwithstanding our expectations and previous understandings, we were unable to
obtain effective enforcement, by means of escrow arrangements or otherwise, of the personal guarantee.
In the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2001, an agent, NYPPe, LLC, was assigned to dispose of shares owned by Dr. Nill in a
secondary private placement. As of December 31, 2001 5,000 of those shares (the equivalent of 15,000 shares pre-reverse split) had been
sold, resulting in net proceeds to the Company of $75,000.
On March 6, 2002, Core entered into voluntary liquidation proceedings. In accordance with the Companies Act governing companies
organized in the British Virgin Islands, Core appointed a liquidator to assess the fair value of its assets.
We do not consider that enforcement of the terms of the personal guarantee through legal action with a view to recovering against other
assets is likely to provide an effective remedy for us, and we have reached an oral understanding with Dr. Nill that the proceeds from the sale
of 1,195,000 shares of our Common Stock are to be remitted to us. We are reserving the rights and remedies that may be available to us in
respect of such shares and/or the proceeds of sales thereof and/or otherwise, in particular if he does not abide by such understanding.
Impairment of Vendor Guarantee. Impairment of a vendor guarantee in the amount of $6,773,000 and $9,109,000 for Fiscal 2002 and
Fiscal 2001 respectively relates to an impairment of the guarantee
F-18
provided by Dr. Alexander Nill as to the fair value of certain assets acquired under the Company's acquisition of Core Ventures Limited
("Core") in September 2000. The vendor guarantee represents the fair value of 1,195,000 shares understood to be beneficially owned by
Dr. Nill, the proceeds of the sale of which are to be remitted to the Company as mentioned above. We have estimated the value of the
guarantee as the value of the common stock, based on the recent history of the stock price, giving an estimated realizable value of $3,227,000
On December 29, 2000, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of HTTP Insights Limited ("Insights"), formerly
known as Nightingale Technologies, Ltd., in a stock-for-stock transaction valued at approximately $180 million (the "Insights Offer"). The
Company received the shares of Insights on that date but, pursuant to the terms of the Insights Offer, was not required to pay any
consideration for the Insights shares until certain conditions were met. The first of these conditions, that the Company receive a validation by
the Defence Evaluation and Research Agency ("DERA"), an agency of the United Kingdom Ministry of Defence, as to the technical and
commercial viability of Insights' proprietary technology. This condition was met on February 22, 2001, and as such we issued the first tranche
of consideration of 5,000,000 shares, valued at $93,000,000 based on a weighted average share price of $18.60 per share.
Subsequent to September 30, 2001, upon agreement with the seller of Insights and in variance of the conditions precedent set forth in the
original agreement, the parties agreed that the obligation to issue the second tranche of contingent consideration may be satisfied by the direct
issuance of shares in MS-PLC to Nightingale Technologies Ltd. ("Nightingale"), the seller of Insights. On November 22, 2001, MS-PLC
issued 15,000,000 shares to Nightingale, and Nightingale accepted such shares in satisfaction of our obligation under the original purchase
agreement. The value attributed to the cost of the issuance of the second tranche was $21,832,000, which was treated as excess of the purchase
price over the fair value of the assets acquired. This was based on the allocation of MS-PLC stock in March 2002 at £1.00 ($1.45) per share.

The Company acquired an intangible asset from Insights consisting of technology valued at $22,470,000 during Fiscal 2000. Under
SFAS No.142, this is considered an intangible asset with a definite life of 5 years. Therefore the value of the asset will be amortized on a
straight-line basis over this period.

833,333 shares of its common stock for issuance upon exercise of options granted under this plan. During 2000 the Company granted
389,333 options to its employees. These options were returned to the Company by the employees later in the year. There was no consideration
provided to the employees related to the return of the options. These stock options were subsequently cancelled in 2000. As of December 31,
2002 and December 31, 2001 there were no options issued and outstanding.

As it is not more likely than not that the resulting deferred tax benefits will be realized, a valuation allowance has been recognized for such
deferred tax assets.

(14) Related Party Transactions
In September 2000 the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of Core Ventures Limited. At the time of this transaction,
Dr. Alexander Nill was a Director of the Company and principal beneficial shareholder of Core Ventures Limited. In connection with this
acquisition, Dr. Nill had guaranteed the valuation of the net assets of Core Ventures Limited to be not less then $25,000,000 as of
December 15, 2000. Dr. Nill resigned as a Director of the Company effective February 27, 2001.
On December 27, 2000 Dr. Nill executed a Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") with the Company in which he admitted to
substantial liability under the personal guarantee. The MOU stipulated that the net assets of Core were estimated to be $2,540,000 and that the
warrants to purchase further Red Cube stock held by Core had no value. Dr. Nill acknowledged that he had been served by us with a formal

value to be determined by our independent auditors as being the fair market value as at the valuation date and which assets Dr. Nill was to

Common Stock (the equivalent of 924,282 shares pre-splits) with all necessary transfer details signed in blank. Dr. Nill did not honor his
obligations under the MOU and, notwithstanding our expectations and previous understandings, we were unable to obtain effective

sold, resulting in net proceeds to the Company of $75,000.
On March 6, 2002, Core entered into voluntary liquidation proceedings. In accordance with the Companies Act governing companies
organized in the British Virgin Islands, Core appointed a liquidator to assess the fair value of its assets.
We do not consider that enforcement of the terms of the personal guarantee through legal action with a view to recovering against other
assets is likely to provide an effective remedy for us, and we have reached an oral understanding with Dr. Nill that the proceeds from the sale
of 1,195,000 shares of our Common Stock are to be remitted to us. We are reserving the rights and remedies that may be available to us in
respect of such shares and/or the proceeds of sales thereof and/or otherwise, in particular if he does not abide by such understanding.
As more fully discussed in Note 9, on December 29, 2000, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of HTTP
Insights Limited ("Insights"). ASIA IT Capital Investments Limited was a shareholder in Insights as well as the Company at the time of the
acquisition, and has provided a credit facility for up to $20,000,000. The credit facility expired on December 31, 2001, but has been extended
to June 30, 2004. All advances under the credit facility accrue interest at 2% above US LIBOR. The Company is restricted from borrowing
funds, directly or indirectly, other than through the credit facility, without the consent of Asia IT.
On November 20, 2001, Asia IT entered into a £10,000,000 ($16,000,000) credit facility with MS-PLC. Such facility ceases in
November 2004 and is secured by a lien on all of the assets of MS-PLC. Interest on outstanding amounts accrues at 2% above GBP LIBOR.
Pursuant to such credit facility, MS-PLC had covenanted to undertake a public offering of its ordinary shares in an amount not less than
£25,000,000 not later than March 2002. MS-PLC did not complete such an offering and the facility nevertheless remains in place. The loan is
convertible into ordinary shares in MS-PLC on announcement of an Offer to Subscribe, Placing or other public offering of its ordinary shares,
at the same price per share as the offering price. Due to the private offering being undertaken by MS-PLC, the loan is currently convertible. In
addition ASIA IT Capital Investments Limited acquired approximately 7,080,000 MS-PLC shares from the 15 million shares issued to
Nightingale Technologies as part of the Insights acquisition. On December 23, 2002, the Company entered into a share swap with General
Nominees and Asia IT Nominees whereby the Company issued 1,866,666 shares to General Nominees (1,674,894 shares) and Asia IT
Nominees (191,772 shares) in return for 7,000,000 MS-PLC shares held by General Nominees (6,280,852 shares) and Asia IT Nominees
(719,148 shares) respectively.

The Company's corporate offices at 46 Berkeley Square are leased to International Cellulose Company Limited (ICCL), a company
registered in England and Wales. STG Holdings PLC, the majority stockholder of Medicsight, acquired 100% of the issued share capital of
International Cellulose Company Limited in November 2001. Rent on 46 Berkeley Square is managed by Berkeley Square Ventures Limited
(BSV), a property management company incorporated in England and Wales. Berkeley Square Ventures Limited estimates the rental space
occupied by the tenants and collects the rents from the tenants (including HTTP and ICCL) on behalf of ICCL. There are no formal leases
between BSV and the tenants or a formal agreement between ICCL and BSV for BSV to collect the rent due. In Fiscal 2002 the Company
paid BSV $399,000 in rent (Fiscal 2001: $285,000). The increase being due to the company requiring more space at 46 Berkeley Square as it
employed more personnel.
(15) Contingent Liability
As discussed in the notes to the financial statements, during 2001 and 2002 the Company transferred assets of two previously acquired
subsidiaries, Insights and Software, to other wholly-owned UK subsidiaries in order to simplify the Company's organizational structure.
As a result of the above, potential tax liabilities in both the US and the UK arise. The Company is pursuing the necessary elections to
mitigate any potential liability. Based on the current facts and circumstances, the Company does not believe it probable that a significant tax
liability will be incurred as a result of these past transactions.
(16) Legal Proceedings
On January 23, 2002, Chess Ventures LLC ("Chess") commenced a lawsuit against us in the Chancery Court of Delaware, seeking an
order to compel us to remove restrictive legends from share certificates owned by Chess so that Chess could sell the shares represented by the
certificates under Rule 144 of the Securities Act ("Rule 144"). Chess also claimed money damages due to our failure to remove the legends.
We filed a defense and counterclaim to this claim and subsequently instructed our transfer agent to remove the restrictive legends on all
applicable certificates (including those held by Chess) should proper requests be made by the holders thereof in accordance with Rule 144. On
June 4, 2002, we entered into a Settlement Agreement with Chess in which neither party made any admission of liability, and each party fully
released any claims it may have had against the other party. As an inducment for Chess to enter into the Settlement Agreement, we paid a
nominal sum to Chess. The lawsuit was subsequently dismissed on a costs-only basis.
In addition to the above the Company has been served with a Notice of Sequestration following an Order of the Court of Chancery of the
State of Delaware in and for New Castle County dated January 6, 2003 in which the Company has been cited as a Nominal Defendant in a
proceeding brought by a Turks and Caicos company against two shareholders of the Company. The Company responded to the Notice of
Sequestration on January 17, 2003 and does not expect that any further action by the Company will be required.

(17) Subsequent events
MS-PLC is currently in negotiation with a number of parties to lease property and equipment (CT scanners) and purchase equipment for
the Lifesyne™ centers that MS-PLC is planning to open this year. MS-PLC is also in discussions with prospective partners for its Lifesyne™
proposition. As MS-PLC occupies approximately 95% of 46 Berkeley Square it acquired the security deposit on the offices for cash from
International Cellulose Company Ltd in February 2003. The value of the security deposit is approximately $750,000.
On March 20, 2003 the Board of Directors of MS-PLC approved a stock option plan for its employees and reserved 4,000,000 shares of
its common stock for issuance upon exercise of options granted under this plan. The plan has yet to be finalized and implemented.
In addition, since December 31, 2002, MS-PLC has issued a further 60,000 shares of MS-PLC stock from its treasury at £1.00 ($1.60)
per share.
