ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

     (a) General Development of Business.

     During fiscal 1994 Applied Spectrum Technologies, Inc. began implementing a
plan of voluntary dissolution pursuant to Minn. Statute #302A.721 that was
approved by its shareholders at a Special Shareholders' Meeting held on November
30, 1993. Under the Company's Plan of Dissolution most of its assets were sold
during 1994 with some payments deferred into 1995 and beyond. The recovery
period ran through 1997. During fiscal 1995 most of the tangible asset sales
were collected and only technology licenses remained to be collected. During
fiscal 1996 the Company continued to collect license fees and payments on one
equipment lease. The results of the plan of dissolution were successful and all
liabilities and expenses were either paid or are covered in reserves. On
November 17, 2000 a Special Meeting of the shareholders of AST was held at which
time the Plan of Dissolution was revoked. Pursuant to the proposal for
revocation, a liquidating dividend of approximately $229,000 was paid pro-rata
to shareholders in August, 2001.

     Prior to implementation of the Dissolution Plan, AST was engaged in the
development, manufacture, marketing and sale of digital business communication
systems. In its final years of operation, the Company allocated most of its
available resources to the marketing and sale of its T-l Multiplexer product
which was a communication system that allowed many individual telephone and data
services to be transmitted and received over one high speed digital transmission
line. The CENTRA Series of T-1 systems included channel banks and T-1
Multiplexers which supported voice, data and video communications for point to
point interoffice requirements, as well as digital access to long distance
carrier networks.

     The Company was organized as a Minnesota corporation on February 17, 1982.
The Company's principal executive office located at 65 Norwood Avenue, Upper
Montclair, NJ 07034, and its telephone number is (973) 783-1117.

     (b) Financial Information About Industry Segments.

     Since its inception, the Company has operated in one industry segment - the
development, manufacture, marketing and sales of communications products and
networks some of which transmit digital data over existing local telephone wires
simultaneously with normal voice communications.

     (c) Narrative Description of Business.


                                        2
<PAGE>
BACKGROUND

     The technology on which the Company's original products were based,
including Spread Spectrum Technology, permit data and telemetry to be
transmitted simultaneously over telephone wire without interfering with normal
voice service. The Company's products were known as data/voice multiplexing
("DVM") equipment and were aimed at operating telephone companies (Telco
market).

     The Company's Alarm and DVM-400 products were introduced to a Telco
marketplace which was slow to develop. Consistent with a strategy begun in 1988,
the Company redirected its efforts towards the commercial marketplace, with
emphasis on the T-1 Multiplexer market.

     During 1989 and early 1990 the Company worked on the development of the T-1
product which was introduced to the market in 1990 and became the Company's
primary product.

     The Company's lack of financial resources caused the Company to pursue a
plan of dissolution as approved by the Board of Directors and approved by the
shareholders on November 30, 1993. For more information see Item 7 - Management
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition.

PRODUCTS

     After AST ceased operations in 1993, as part of the implementation of the
Dissolution Plan, the Company's products were eliminated through the dissolution
process.

MARKETS

     During the Dissolution Plan, the Company ceased to pursue any of its former
markets.

SALES AND DISTRIBUTION

     After ceasing operations and implementing the Dissolution Plan in 1993, the
Company did not pursue Sales and Distribution efforts.

     Between 1991 and 1993, the Company entered into four agreements with OEM
customers which provide for non-exclusive rights to sales, manufacturing and
technology of the T-1 Multiplexer product.

     During fiscal 1994, two of these OEM agreements were terminated by the
customer. The other two OEM agreements expired in fiscal 1997.


                                        3
<PAGE>
PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

     During fiscal 1995 and 1996, there were no product development activities
because of the implementation of the Plan of Dissolution.

     During fiscal 1996, the Company continued to support its OEM Licenses by
use of former employees as consultants.

MANUFACTURING, SERVICE AND SUPPORT

     Prior to ceasing operations and implementing the Dissolution Plan, the
Company's manufacturing operations consisted primarily of assembly, test and
quality control of components and subassemblies and final testing of completed
products. Subcontractors assembled printed circuit boards for he Company's
products.

     Due to a lack of resources, the Company ceased manufacturing and service
operations at the end of fiscal 1993. The Company entered into agreements with
third parties which protected its customer base from a manufacturing and service
standpoint.

     A one-year warranty was given on all historic products, and longer
warranties were sometimes granted on products sold to distributors and OEMs.
During 1992 the Company extended the warranty on its CENTRA T-1 Multiplexer
products from one year to five years. Warranty coverage on the CENTRA T-1
Product has been assigned to a third party. Under the terms of the sale of its
T-1 inventory as part of the Dissolution Plan, the Company granted extended
warranty coverage to the buyer, which expired in 1997.

     The Company had a customer service department which provided training,
installation and product support. The customer service department administered
customer warranties and repairs and provided telephone and on-site assistance.
The Company sold its customer service department to a third party in September,
1993.

COMPETITION

     The Company implemented its Plan of Dissolution in 1993 and therefore has
not been tracking any competitors the past eight years.

BACKLOG

     At September 30, 2002 and 2001, the Company's backlog of orders was zero.



                                        4
<PAGE>
GOVERNMENT REGULATION

     Communications equipment is subject to federal regulations which require
that they be tested and then approved or certified by the Federal Communications
Commission (the "FCC") prior to their use, sale, lease or distribution. When
required or appropriate, the Company's products were tested and approved by the
FCC and were authorized for distribution.

EMPLOYEES

     As September 30, 2002, the Company had no employees.

PATENTS, TRADEMARKS AND LICENSES

     Prior to adopting the Dissolution Plan, the Company had obtained a number
of United States and foreign parts. The 17-year terms of the Company's United
States patents expire from the years 2001 to 2004. The Company believed,
however, that its principal technological advantage, if any, over existing and
prospective competitors was in the ability of its personnel to apply a broad
range of techniques, some of which may have been trade secrets of the Company,
to the resolution of the customer needs. The Company attempted to protect its
trade secrets by requiring each of its employees to execute a confidentiality
agreement and by other measures common to technical industries. There was no
assurance that any of the Company's patents or other proprietary rights of the
Company would be sufficient to prevent effective competition with its products.

     The Company's product names "DWV-200" and "SPECTRA" were registered as
trademarks in the United States. The Company also claimed common law trademark
rights with respect to the name "DVM-400".

     During 1994, the Company stopped paying for any further patent or trademark
applications or renewals. The Company believes that it has exhausted all efforts
of future value for its technologies.

     (d) Financial Information About Foreign and Domestic Operation and Export
Sales.

     Substantially all of the Company's revenue, operating profit and
identifiable assets have been attributable to the United States.


ITEM 2.  PROPERTY

     On September 16, 1993, the company vacated its former headquarters and
manufacturing facilities located at 450 Industrial Boulevard, Minneapolis,
Minnesota. Since 1993, the Company has conducted business through voice mail, P.
O. box and facsimile machines. From 1993 to 1997 the Company obtained
approximately 300 square feet space for storage of its assets at reasonable
monthly rental amounts. In November 1997, the Company vacated its storage space
and transferred all of its important records to a storage site in New York.

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

All amounts in the following discussion have been rounded to the nearest $1,000.

GENERAL
-------

In its latest audited financial statement, September 30, 1992, the Company's
auditors issued a qualified opinion regarding the Company's ability to continue
as a going concern. Revenues had been insufficient to generate cash flows
sufficient to support operations and pay liabilities. The Company was declared
to be in default on its secured credit line in May 1993. A reduction in staffing
and departure of key employees such as the President and CEO, Director of
Operations and Service Department Manager also negatively impacted the Company's
operations.


                                        7
<PAGE>
The Company disclosed in its 10-K for the year ended September 30, 1992, that
its liquidity was dependent on its ability to generate additional revenues and
make use of the credit line of Norwood. The Company was unsuccessful in its
attempts to raise additional equity financing or find a strategic partner.
During the second fiscal quarter of 1993, the Company's secured lender Norwood
Venture Corp. acquired all of the Company's stock and became the majority
(77.3%) owner of the Company.

During March, 1993 the Company reduced its work force from 20 employees to 13
employees and placed its engineering development plans on hold as a means of
matching fixed costs to revenues. The Company's President and CEO, James J.
Szeliga, resigned as an officer of the Company on May 7, 1993.

For the first nine months of fiscal year 1993 revenues decreased $276,000. Cash
decreased $31,000 to $3,000, net working capital excluding cash and credit line
borrowing decreased $48,000 to $99,000 and the Company borrowed an additional
$88,000 under its Norwood Credit Line. At June 30, 1993 the balance owing on the
Norwood Credit Line was $195,000.

In light of the above, the Company embarked upon an extensive search for
additional equity or debt investment and for a strategic partner with which to
merge, or a purchaser of the Company as a going concern. When neither additional
funding nor a strategic partner were located, liquidation pursuant to Chapter 7
or Reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code was
considered. However, the Company believed a greater monetary return would be
realized if the Company conducted a controlled dissolution and the assets were
sold pursuant to independently negotiated agreements. The Company also concluded
that attempted reorganization under Chapter 11, given the Company's inability to
generate sufficient revenue to sustain its operations, would only serve to
further erode the value of the Company's existing assets.

As a result, the Board of Directors, as a means of attempting to maximize
recovery to its creditors and shareholders, adopted a plan of dissolution such
that a payment plan to creditors could be implemented and foreclosure by its
secured lender could be avoided. As part of the dissolution plan, the Company
attempted to sell its assets contingent on future payments. Results were
successful and all liabilities and expenses were satisfied. Therefore, funds
were available from which to pay a liquidating dividend to AST's shareholders.
The Board of Directors of the Company did not seek or obtain an independent
report, appraisal or fairness opinion in connection with the proposed
dissolution due to the lack of funds required to obtain such an opinion.

Search for Strategic Partner
----------------------------

Between late 1992 and mid-1993, the Company contacted approximately 60 entities,
including HT Communications, Inc. ("HT" or "HT Communications"), seeking equity
or debt investment or a strategic partner with respect to a possible merger.
Such searches were unsuccessful. Contacts were made with OEM customers,
competitors and numerous other companies in the data communications industry
regarding the sale of the Company as an operating concern. The majority of these
contacts expressed no interest and none resulted in a feasible offer that would
have paid all of AST's outstanding liabilities, nor did any of these contacts
culminate in a letter of intent or a definitive agreement.

                                        8
<PAGE>
Shareholder Approval
--------------------

Shareholder approval of the Dissolution Plan was received at a special
shareholders' meeting held on November 30, 1993.

Transaction with HT Communications, Inc.
----------------------------------------

Having received no positive results from its search for a strategic partner, the
Company again contacted a number of these same entities to discuss a possible
licensing arrangement and/or asset sale. HT Communications was the only company
which expressed an interest in pursing further discussions with AST.

In August, 1993, AST entered into a Licensing Agreement with HT Communications
granting HT a non-exclusive, perpetual, world-wide license to manufacture those
T-1 digital Multiplexer products marketed under the name CENTRA Series 4000 and
CENTRA Series 3000. In consideration, HT paid to AST royalties on its sale of
certain AST products for a period of three (3) years. With respect to its
general terms, the License Agreement with HT was negotiated along the lines of
AST's previously existing License Agreements.

In addition to the License Agreement already in place with HT, AST entered into
an agreement in December of 1993 with HT Communications for the acquisition of
the majority of the T-1 assets of AST. The Agreement called for HT to purchase
the fixed assets and inventory at the fair market value and standard cost
respectively in installments over approximately nine (9) months commencing in
December, 1993. In addition, HT agreed to assume obligations associated with
certain AST contracts and to offer some AST employees jobs. Due to HT's cash
flow problems, the payment terms of the Agreement were amended such that AST was
given a secured interest in HT's assets and the payments were extended to
December, 1995 including interest on the unpaid balance at the rate of 12% per
annum, with HT having the right to prepay any balance owing.

Expenses
--------

General and administrative expenses in 2002, 2001 and 2000 related to the
implementation of the Dissolution Plan and preserving the corporate shell.

Other Income/Expenses
---------------------

Other income in 2002, 2001 and 2000 consisted of interest income.

Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Transaction
--------------------------------------------------

In 1993, the Company was unable to determine with specificity what the income
tax consequences of the proposed dissolution of the Company would be given the
uncertainty as to the actual dollars which would be realized upon liquidation of
the Company's assets as well as questions regarding how the net operating loss
carried forward would be dealt with in light of the changes in control of the
Company. However, the company did make the following estimate in this regard:

     (i)  The extent of net operating loss available to offset income is unknown
          due to changes in ownership and the difficulty in determining fair
          market value of the Company;

     (ii) The 1993 fiscal year's operating loss will probably offset any gain on
          the recapture of depreciation or value from the sale of fixed assets;

     (iii) Inventory will be sold at approximately the same value as cost, so
           there will be no income tax consequences; and

     (iv) Future royalties will be taxable at normal tax rates unless they can
          be offset by net operating loss.

The Company has now filed all of its Income Tax Returns and has been able to
offset all income from the dissolution recovery process with net operating loss
carry forwards. The Company's income tax returns have not been audited by the
Internal Revenue Services. The Company believes that the net liquidating
dividend to be paid to shareholders in August, 2001 will be treated as a return
of capital.

Capital Resources and Liquidity
-------------------------------

Substantially all of the Company's working capital needs have been funded
through proceeds from the sales of common stock and preferred stock, or from
loans from or guaranteed by certain shareholders. During 1987, all three series
of preferred stocks were converted to common stock. In January 1988, the
Company's initial public offering (IPO) was completed. Net proceeds from the IPO
were $3,841,000. The funds from the IPO were used to repay $691,000 of
convertible debentures and to fund activities in product development and sales
and market development during 1988, 1989 and the first half of 1990. The Company
also pursued some unsuccessful acquisition strategies during 1989 and 1990.

In the second quarter of fiscal 1990 the Company underwent a restructuring and
recapitalization to concentrate primarily on its new CENTRA T-1 Multiplexer
product line. The restructuring resulted in substantially all resources being
directed towards penetration of the commercial T-1 marketplace. The
recapitalization resulted in a 1 for 100 reverse split of the Company's voting
common stock. Following the reverse split the Company issued 1,268,000 new
shares of voting Common Stock on March 26, 1990 to private investors at $0.50
per share which resulted in $643,000 of equity funding.

In addition to the sale of stock in March 1990, the Company obtained a revolving
credit line of up to $500,000 from Norwood Venture Corp. The credit line which
was secured by all assets was available based on a borrowing formula equal to
90% of eligible receivables. The agreement with Norwood was modified three
times. The most recent modification in March 1992 increased the total line from
$500,000 to $600,000 and increased the borrowing base by including up to
$100,000 of T-1 Multiplexer inventory. As part of these modifications, Norwood
was granted an increase to 1,000,000 shares in its warrants to purchase the
Company's common stock at $0.50 per share. Another condition of the modification
was a provision that reduced Norwood's Warrant price from $.50 per share to
$0.01 per share upon the notice of default by the Company. The company defaulted
on its agreement with Norwood in 1993 and then the warrant price was reduced to
$0.01 per share. As of June 30, 1993, the Company had $195,000 outstanding
against the credit line. During the fourth quarter of 1993, the Company was able
to repay the balance owed to Norwood on its credit line as part of the early
stages of the dissolution process.

Through September 30, 2002 the Company had incurred net cumulative losses of
$16,067,751.

The implementation of the Dissolution Plan has resulted in a reduction of
liabilities of $515,000 between fiscal 1993 and 1999. As of September 30, 2002,
the Company had cash of $33,000 and booked liabilities of $27,000. The net book
value of the Company at September 30, 2001, was $6,700.

The Company's CFO and major shareholder voted to revoke the dissolution of AST
and to retain the corporate shell for an unspecified time in hope that it has
some additional future value for AST's shareholders. The Company paid a
liquidating dividend to shareholders in August, 2001 of approximately $229,000.
The Company estimates that $33,000 of undistributed cash, plus future interest
income will be sufficient to cover the future carrying costs of the corporate
shell.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



NOTE A - BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION

     The September 30, 2002, 2001 and 2000, financial statements are "unaudited"
and include a reserve for administration expenses.


NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     Prior to implementing the Plan of Dissolution, the Company was engaged in
the development, manufacture, marketing and sale of products for the digital
transmission of data.

Revenue Recognition: Revenues from sales were recognized on shipment of the
product. Revenues pertaining to development contracts and sub-license fees were
recognized when billed. The billings were done on a progress basis to cover
expenses incurred or achievement of certain contract milestones and
specifications. Expenses in excess of related development contract revenues were
charged to product development costs because the Company believes that such
contracts may result in future product sales. The Company entered into
development contracts to perform feasibility studies and to develop certain
products.

Warranties: The Company's products were generally under warranty against defects
in material and workmanship for a period of one year. During 1992, the Company
increased the warranty period on its CENTRA T-1 Multiplexer products to five
years. Under the terms of the sale of the Company's T-1 inventory in 1994, an
extended warranty was granted to the Buyer. The Company maintained an accrual
for these anticipated future warranty costs based on management's estimates of
such costs. The final liability for warranty costs expired in 1997 when the
Company's agreement with the buyer expired.

Property and Equipment: During 1997, the Company disposed of all remaining
property and equipment.

Profit (Loss) Per Share: Profit (Loss) per share is computed by dividing the net
profit (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of shares of Common
Stock. Outstanding stock options and warrants are not included in the loss per
share calculations as they are anti-dilutive.



                                       17

NOTE C - REVOLVING CREDIT LINE

     The Company had a revolving credit line with Norwood Venture Corp. The
revolving credit line secured by all assets was called by Norwood during the
third fiscal quarter of 1993, because the Company was in default on its
borrowing conditions. As part of the dissolution process, the Company was able
to repay the secured lender, Norwood, as of September 30, 1993.


NOTE D - COMMON STOCK

     On January 29, 1988, the Company completed its initial public offering and
as a result issued 328,073 shares of Common Stock and 164,036 warrants. The
Company received net proceeds of $3,841,222.

     On March 23, 1990, the shareholders approved a one-for-one hundred reverse
stock split of the Company's Common Stock and an amendment to the Articles of
Incorporation reducing the authorized Common Stock available for issuance from
175,000,000 common shares to 10,000,000 common shares.

     On March 26, 1990, the Company issued 1,268,000 shares of Common Stock to
private investors and received net proceeds of $634,000. The Company also
granted warrants to purchase up to 600,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock
at $0.50 per share to Norwood as a condition to Norwood's revolving credit line.

     As a condition to amendments to Norwood's revolving credit line on March
29, 1991, and March 19, 1992, the Company granted additional warrants to
purchase an additional 400,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at $0.50 per
share to Norwood. When the Company defaulted on the Norwood loan on 1993, the
Warrant price was automatically reduced to $0.01 per share. Norwood exercised
its rights to the warrants in January 1995 and purchased 957,877 shares of
common stock.


NOTE E - STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS

     Edward F. Mackay has a warrant, expiring 7/26/03 to purchase 200,000 common
shares at $0.10 per share.


NOTE F - MAJOR CUSTOMERS

     Not applicable.


NOTE G - INCOME TAXES

     Due to the change in ownership and plan of dissolution it is estimated that
most of the Company's net operating loss carryforwards will not be utilized.


                                       18

NOTE H - LEASES

     The Company's previously leased facility was vacated on September 16, 1993.
The facility leases expired on March 31, 1993 and the Company extended the use
of the space on a month-to-month basis through August 31, 1993.

     During fiscal 2002, 2001 and 2000, the Company obtained practically
rent-free space for storage of its assets and operation of its business through
voice mail, post office box, and facsimile machines.


NOTE I - CHANGE IN CONTROL OF THE COMPANY

     During the second fiscal quarter of 1993, Norwood Venture Corp., acquired
all of the Company stock owned by Oxford Venture Fund Limited Partnership and
Oxford Venture Fund II Limited Partnership placing Norwood in voting control of
the majority of the outstanding common stock of the Company.


NOTE J - SIGNIFICANT EVENTS

     During 1991 and 1992 the Company entered into OEM sub-licensing agreements
with three T-1 customers and during 1993 the Company entered into an OEM
sub-licensing agreement with one T-1 customer. These agreements required the
Company to transfer certain non-exclusive manufacturing, sales and technology
rights to the OEMs. In exchange for the rights, the Company received
sub-licensing fees, future royalties and development contract revenues. During
1997, 1996, and 1995, the Company recognized $8,000, $58,000, and $71,000
respectively in sub-licensing revenues from these agreements.

     In December 1993, the Company completed an Agreement to sell the majority
of its assets to HT Communications.

     Based on the results of the Dissolution Plan the Company paid a partial
liquidating dividend to shareholders in August, 2001.
