Overview

SAN
Holdings, Inc. (referred to hereafter as SANZ) provides sophisticated
enterprise-level data storage and data management solutions to clients in the
commercial and government markets. We focus on the design, delivery and
management of data storage systems, especially those that are built using a
network architecture. Because we typically design integrated solutions for our
clients rather than merely selling them hardware, we are known in the industry
as a storage solution provider.

In
the course of our business, we provide the following products and services:

°        Custom
storage solutions that we design and deliver as a customized
project to meet a clients specific needs.

°        Integrated
solution products that are optimized for specific market
segments.

°        Storage-related
consulting services.

Historically,
we have generated revenue from a mix of custom-designed projects consisting of
both goods and services, re-sale of data storage products without a significant
service element, and project-based and time-and-materials based consulting and
similar services. Approximately two years ago, we also began development of
integrated solution products to provide data storage and management solutions
that are tailored to deliver optimized performance for particular market
segments. That development effort has led to our EarthWhereTMproduct, which is designed to facilitate storage and distribution of
geospatial data (e.g., map data, satellite and aerial imagery, etc.). We
recorded several early sales of EarthWhereTM in 2002, and expect to develop
additional sales in 2003.

Growing
demand for data storage is the result of a proliferation of data intensive
applications, from areas as sophisticated as document imaging, pharmaceutical
development, electronic banking, satellite imagery manipulation, and scientific
research, to those as basic as email. A combination of business, regulatory and
geopolitical concerns have also caused businesses to recognize the need for
effective archiving of their data and recovery of that data in the event of
disaster or other failure. The common thread among these applications is that
data storage is an enabling element. In addition to fundamental issues of data
storage, data availability becomes critical. Todays businesses depend on
rapid response time, both internally and with vendors and customers via the
Internet, making high availability essential for a wide variety of applications.
Consolidating data storage in networks at centralized data centers lowers costs
through increased utilization and more efficient management.

Because
we have attempted to grow rapidly, and simultaneously have incurred substantial
expenses in our efforts to develop our integrated solution products, we have
generated significant losses over our operating history. ITIS Services, Inc.,
which we acquired at the end of 2001, also generated significant losses as an
independent company prior to its acquisition by SANZ. While we have narrowed
these losses in recent periods and we hope to generate positive earnings before
interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) in the near future, we
have yet to generate a profit.

Our
Background

SANZ
was formed as a Colorado corporation in 1983. We commenced our current business
in 2000, when we acquired three companies with varying degrees of presence in
the storage products and solutions marketplace. These three companies merged
their operations to operate as a single wholly owned subsidiary, Storage Area
Networks, Inc. In October 2001 we acquired certain operating assets of
ECOSoftware Systems, Inc. a privately held storage networking consulting and
integration firm based in Boulder, Colorado, which were then integrated into our
Storage Area Networks subsidiary.

---

In
December 2001, we acquired ITIS Services, Inc., a privately held data storage
consulting and storage solution provider firm with offices in Norwalk,
Connecticut and Boston, Massachusetts. ITISs business model closely
matched ours, except that it had not yet developed its own integrated solution
products. ITIS had historically served exclusively the commercial markets. Its
client base included large, national financial services, healthcare and
technology companies. By acquiring ITIS, we established a more significant
market presence in the eastern United States and in the commercial markets in
general. Effective July 1, 2002, we merged ITIS with and into our Storage Area
Networks subsidiary in order to further integrate and streamline or operations.

SANZ
principal executive offices are located at 900 West Castleton Road, Suite 100,
Castle Rock, CO 80104. Our telephone number is (303) 660-3933.

Subsequent
Event  Acquisition of Solunet Storage

In
April 2003, subsequent to the date of the financial statements included in this
report, we completed the acquisition of Solunet Storage, Inc. (d.b.a
StorNet Solutions). Solunet Storage is another storage solution
provider, and is also based in the greater-Denver area. Solunet Storage, Inc.
itself acquired substantially all of the assets and selected liabilities of
StorNet, Inc. in September 2002 in a private transaction. At the time of the
acquisition by SANZ, Solunet Storage was owned by Sun Solunet LLC, an affiliate
of Sun Capital Partners, Inc. (a private investment firm located in Boca Raton,
Florida) and management of Solunet Storage.

We
acquired Solunet Storage in an all-stock transaction in which we issued to the
two shareholders of Solunet Storage an aggregate of 20,000,000 shares of common
stock and shares of preferred stock that are convertible into an additional
37,403,653 shares of common stock (i.e., an aggregate of 57,403,653 shares of
common stock on a fully-converted basis). In addition to these shares of common
stock and preferred stock, we issued to Sun Solunet LLC, as the principal
stockholder of Solunet Storage, a warrant to purchase a maximum of 19,976,737
shares of common stock at various prices and over various terms in each case
corresponding to a warrant and option that SANZ had outstanding prior to the
Solunet Storage acquisition. The various exercise prices range from $.29 to
$10.82. This warrant mirrors the terms of those previously
outstanding warrants and options both as to exercise price and as to duration,
but on a 1.5 shares : 1 share ratio, except that Sun Solunet LLC will not be
entitled to exercise its warrant with respect to the first 2,958,951
previously-outstanding warrants or options that are exercised by their
respective holders. Sun Solunets warrant will expire in pro rata part each
time that a previously outstanding warrant or option expires without exercise by
the holder.

As
part of the acquisition transaction, an affiliate of Sun Capital Partners, Inc.
has agreed to guaranty a minimum of $3 million of the debt of the combined
company. This guaranty is currently in place in support of a loan facility
maintained by Solunet Storage.

More
information regarding Solunet Storage and the acquisition transaction will be
included in subsequent filings.

Our
Business

The
market for data storage solutions is generally robust and broad-based, though
not immune to the capital spending slump that began affecting the U.S. economy
in 2001. We design, deliver and manage sophisticated data storage solutions
based on storage area network (SAN) and network attached storage
(NAS) architectures, as well as related data backup and disaster
recovery systems. SAN and NAS systems are secondary, high-speed computer
networks dedicated to data storage and backup functions. This networked storage
subset of the overall storage market (which is the segment of the storage market
that is our primary focus) is predicted by industry analyst The Yankee Group to
grow from approximately $7 billion in 2001 to in excess of $14 billion in 2003.

SAN
and NAS have become recognized as the state-of-the-art architectures that have
the capability to solve many of the storage issues arising in todays open
systems networks. These issues include:

| | ° Rising
cost in server-based storage environments due to inefficient storage utilization and high
maintenance costs
| | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | ° Increased
isolation and resulting performance degradation of storage resulting from
restrictive server-to-storage connectivity and incompatible storage protocols
| | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | ° Increased
complexity in upgrading server and storage capacities
| | -----------------------------------------------------------------

| | ° Requirements
for comprehensive data security, protection and disaster recovery capabilities.
| | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

By
centralizing data storage functions, storage networks create a reservoir of data
storage that can be shared by multiple servers and is accessible over long
distances. Networked storage solutions permit large amounts of data to be
shared, managed and accessed among diverse servers and storage systems running
different computer operating systems or software applications. This increased
manageability and superior performance are particularly important for
applications that depend on transfer of high volumes of data, such as those
found in imaging, pharmaceutical development, complex financial analysis and a
variety of business services.

Our
Clients

While
we have always sought to serve both federal government and commercial markets,
until the acquisition of ITIS our sales were highly concentrated in the federal
government sector. By acquiring ITIS, with its East-coast commercial client
base, we have achieved a more balanced mix of federal government and commercial
business.

Our
federal government clients include agencies involved in national defense, law
enforcement, and high performance government computing and government logistics.
Included in our federal government business are sales directly to government
end-users, as well as sales to prime contractors who provide various services to
government end-users. While our sales in the government sector during 2002
amounted to 50% of total sales, approximately 36% consisted of sales directly to
the federal government and the remaining 14% consisted of sales to third parties
acting as prime contractors or sales to state or local governments.

While
we do not restrict our commercial business to specified industries, we have
developed a relatively greater number of clients in certain segments, including:

|° computer services | ° financial services
|------------------- | --------------------

|° general business     
              services | ° health care
|---------------------------------------------- | -------------

|° biotechnology and     
              pharmaceuticals | 
|------------------------------------------------------ | 

These
segments are in various states of maturity in their use of data storage
technology.

We
have developed specific expertise in certain market segments and can provide
solutions that are tailored to the needs of particular business environments.
This approach led us to undertake the development and introduction of integrated
solution products (known sometimes generally as storage appliances).
Integrated solution products address extraordinary data storage and management
requirements not readily addressed by technologies and products available in
conventional fashion. In our current model, our integrated solution products
seek to combine proprietary software, architectures or processes with third
party hardware and software to create the integrated solution. This model also
allows for the sale of the proprietary software independent of the hardware in
appropriate circumstances. Our principal current development effort consists of
an integrated solution product for geospatial data storage and management, which
we are marketing under the name EarthWhereTM. We expect
to continue our efforts to develop efficient, integrated storage solutions for
additional market segments as we identify new opportunities.

5

---

In
our Custom Client Solutions business, we employ a direct sales model, but rely
heavily on cooperative selling with our technology partners, all of whom have
sales personnel who are tasked to support channel partners such as SANZ. Our
technology partners may provide opportunity leads for us to execute directly, or
include us as part of a large system solution delivery project that they manage.
In our own efforts, we often call upon our technology partners for direct
support in the sales process, in the implementation process, or to provide lease
financing for large projects. In our Integrated Solutions business, we seek to
make direct sales but we are also conducting discussions with third parties
regarding selling the software portion of the product through those parties in a
channel distribution model in parallel with our direct sales.

We
operate from an engineering-centric business model. To support our ability to
deliver complex technical solutions, we operate testing laboratories at our
offices in Norwalk, CT and Castle Rock, CO. These are used to test proposed
solutions, and to demonstrate those solutions to prospective clients.

Significant
Customers. In 2002, no single customer accounted for more than 10% of our
total revenue. However, various separate branches and agencies within the U.S.
Department of Defense (which undertake buying decisions independently of one
another) taken together accounted for approximately 35% of our total revenue in
2002 (including both direct sales and sales through prime contractors). In 2001,
three customers accounted for 29%, 13% and 11%, of our total revenue
respectively; the largest of these was an agency within the U.S. Department of
Defense and the second largest was another agency of the U.S. federal government
(outside of the Department of Defense). We believe the decline in concentration
from 2001 to 2002 is largely attributable to the larger volume of total sales in
2002 and the enhancement of our commercial market presence, both resulting
principally from the acquisition of ITIS Services.

SANZ
Products and Services

Our
products can be broken into two distinct general categories, Custom Client
Solutions and Integrated Product Solutions. As noted above, we have only
recently begun to market our Integrated Product Solutions and recorded less than
$100,000 in sales of these products during 2002.

We
also generate revenue from consulting services delivered independently of our
Custom Client Solutions and Integrated Product Solutions (although sometimes to
the same customers), and from installation and similar services rendered as a
part of the sale of a solution. In 2001 and 2002, services revenues of all types
aggregated less than 5% of our total revenues, and are therefore not separately
reported.

Custom
Client Solutions

We
design and deliver custom solutions by working with our clients to understand
both their current and their projected data storage needs, and the business
drivers that affect those needs. A critical element in our typical sales process
is that of providing detailed support of the financial justification of a
proposed solution using a conventional return on investment analysis and, often,
a separate return on information management analysis initially
developed by ITIS.

In
a full Custom Client Solution project, our engineering staff designs a
best of breed system to best meet the clients business and
technology needs, selects and acquires the hardware and software components from
our technology suppliers, performs interoperability testing as required, and
finally coordinates installation of the system at the clients facility. We
augment our own engineering resources by engaging our vendors engineers to
perform installations or other tasks on a case-by-case basis. We have developed
our product and service offerings specifically to be able to engage a client at
any point in the evolution of their storage requirements, and to continue to
provide solutions as the clients needs change in scope. At times our
clients needs are more limited and do not involve design and installation
of a full solution. In these cases (such as follow-on sales of additional goods
to existing customers), our role may be more limited and consist simply of
reselling third-party hardware or software for inclusion in an existing system.

Integrated
Product Solutions

As
a logical extension of our custom client solution business and vertical market
focus, we have invested in designing integrated solutions to address identified
niche market opportunities. As we work with many clients in a particular
industry and determine common requirements, our product development staff looks
for opportunities to address those common requirements with a standard design or
configuration. For some industries, a relatively simple standard configuration
can address these requirements. For others, the solution includes a more complex
package of products and services, such as our EarthWhereTM solution
described below.During 2001 and early 2002, we discontinued our efforts
to develop and bring to market two other products, SANZGuard and SANZStream,
after we reassessed the forecasted product development and market development
costs versus the near-term potential market interest for each of those products.

---

EarthWhereTM
is a system that allows geospatial data (digital images of the earths
surface captured by satellite or aerial observation) to be stored, retrieved and
manipulated from any location. Applications for this product range from defense
surveillance to city planning functions to commercial markets such as oil and
gas development. EarthWhereTM is designed to provide a broad range of
potential users with more efficient and more effective provisioning and
manipulation of the massive amounts of digital mapping information that is
available. With recent enhancements, we now can offer EarthWhereTM
either as a complete appliance, bundling our own software with third
party hardware and software, or in a software-only configuration for customers
who already own an appropriate hardware platform.

Our
Technology Partners

SANZ
is an independent storage solution provider, not under common ownership with
manufacturers of the products used in our networked storage solutions. We build
and manage our best of breed solutions by integrating product offerings from our
technology product suppliers. Current key suppliers include:

|° StorageTek | ° Hitachi Data    
   Systems | ° Sun MicrosystemsSystems
|------------ | ----------------------------- | -------------------------

|° Veritas | ° Network    
   Appliance | ° Brocade
|--------- | -------------------------- | ---------

We
believe we have strong relationships with these product suppliers. SANZ holds
federal government General Services Administration schedules for many of these
products, which gives us a distinct advantage in working with our government
clientele. In some cases, our technology partners engage us for the expertise we
bring to a technology team, in particular in heterogeneous technology
environments, where individual manufacturers lack the skills necessary to work
with the full range of software and hardware components presented in a
sophisticated solution.

Competition

The
rapidly evolving and highly competitive market for data storage is served by
many manufacturers, value added resellers, storage solution providers, and
storage service providers.

Major
computer system firms all offer storage devices along with their server,
workstation and desktop computer systems. To some extent, our products compete
with those systems.

We
face more direct competition from manufacturers specializing in storage
technology products. These include ADIC, EMC, Hitachi Data Systems, Legato, LSI
Logic, MTI Technology, Network Appliance, Qualstar, Spectralogic, StorageTek,
and Veritas. Some product companies address the market with a direct sales
model, some employ a channel partner-only strategy, and some use a hybrid
strategy that includes both. As noted below under Investment
Considerations, many or all of these manufacturers have greater financial
and other resources than we have.

A
number of these competitors also are key technology suppliers of SANZ. Those
that are not provide competition in our accounts and markets. In some cases, in
large legacy accounts of our technology partners, we will face competition
directly from those suppliers. A large number of private company value added
resellers serve as sales and distribution outlets for the manufacturers listed
above, although many of these offer only component sales and distribution. We
sometimes compete with these companies at the user client level. At times, we
face competition from other resellers offering the same or similar equipment
from the same technology partners. In general, these competitors are regional.

We
compete with companies that characterize themselves as storage solution
providers, such as Bell Microsystems, Cranel, Datalink and Alanco. Some of
these, such as Bell Microsystems, are large component resellers who have
recently moved into the market for complete solution delivery. Others, such as
Datalink, have applied the solution sale model for a longer time.

Employees

As
of December 31, 2002, we employed 56 people, all but two in full-time positions.
None of our employees are subject to collective bargaining agreements. We
believe that our relations with our employees are good.

Item
2. Description of Property

SANZ
occupies 6,725 square feet of office and data center space in Castle Rock,
Colorado. The lease for the Castle Rock facility expires on May 31, 2004. The
monthly rent under this lease is $9,578 plus the costs of utilities, property
taxes, insurance, repair and maintenance expenses and common area utilities.

The
following leases for our regional offices are also material to our operations:

|Office Location | Current Lease Expiration | Monthly Rent    | Square Footage
|--------------- | ------------------------ | --------------- | --------------
|Norwalk, CT     |                          | June 30, 2003   |               
|Waltham, MA     |                          | July 31, 2005   |               
|McLean, VA      |                          | June 30, 2003   |               
|Phoenix, AZ     |                          | August 31, 2003 |               

At
various times in the past we closed regional offices in Orlando, Florida,
Phoenix, Arizona, Boulder, Colorado and Austin, Texas, for which we are still
subject to leases. The Orlando and Boulder offices have been subleased to third
parties, although at sublease rent rates lower than the rent that we are
currently paying to the respective landlords. In all cases except Phoenix,
Arizona (which was closed subsequent to December 31, 2002), we have accrued the
net remaining obligation for the life of the lease. We will continue to pay rent
for the Boulder office (offset by the sublease rental) and Austin office through
July 2003; we will continue to pay rent for the Phoenix office through October
2005; and we will continue to pay rent for the Orlando office (offset in part by
the sublease rental) through January 2006. The total amount of these leases, net
of the amounts received under the subleases, is $11,313 per month.

We
believe that our properties, equipment, fixtures and other assets are adequately
insured against loss, that suitable alternative facilities are readily available
if the lease agreements described above are not renewed, and that our existing
facilities are adequate to meet current requirements.

Accounting Policies and Estimates

The
preparation of our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities,
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. In applying our accounting principles, we must often make individual
estimates and assumptions regarding expected outcomes or uncertainties . As you
might expect, the actual results or outcomes are generally different than the
estimated or assumed amounts. These differences are usually minor and are
included in our consolidated financial statements as soon as they are known. Our
estimates, judgments and assumptions are continually evaluated based on
available information and experience. Because of the use of estimates inherent
in the financial reporting process, actual results could differ materially from
those estimates.

We
review the carrying value of goodwill annually, or more often in certain
circumstances.. The performance of the test involves a two-step process. The
first step of the impairment test involves comparing the fair value of the
Companys reporting unit with the reporting units carrying amount,
including goodwill. If the carrying amount of the our reporting unit exceeds its
fair value, we perform the second step to determine the amount of the impairment
loss. The impairment loss is determined by comparing the implied fair value of
our goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. We believe that our
estimates of fair value are reasonable. Changes in estimates of such fair value,
however, could effect the calculation. It is at least reasonably possible that
the estimates we use to evaluate the realizability of goodwill will be
materially different from actual amounts or results.

General

SANZ
current line of business operations commenced in 2000. In October 2001, we
acquired operating assets of ECOSoftware Systems, Inc., and effective December
31, 2001, we acquired ITIS Services, Inc., a data storage company operating out
of Norwalk, CT. The consolidated financial statements discussed below include
the accounts of Storage Area Networks, Inc. for all periods presented, plus
subsidiaries from the dates of their acquisition by SANZ. All significant
intercompany balances have been eliminated.

ITIS
Services was acquired as of December 31, 2001, and while its assets and
liabilities as of that date are included in the December 31, 2001 balance sheet,
its results of operations are not reflected for periods ending on or prior to
December 31, 2001.

For
the year commencing January 1, 2002, we adopted a policy to record revenue from
the resale of maintenance agreements on computer hardware and software net of
the cost to acquire the related maintenance agreements from the hardware and
software vendors, at the beginning of the maintenance period. We adopted this
policy because we currently do not perform a material portion of the maintenance
services when we resell maintenance agreements on computer hardware and
software. Previously we employed a policy under which we recorded the full (or
gross) sale price of the maintenance agreement, and deferred the
revenue over the life of the agreement. Prior year data in this report has been
reclassified to reflect the newly-adopted accounting policy. We anticipate that
in the future we may begin performing a portion of the maintenance services with
respect to some or all of the maintenance contracts that we sell. If we do begin
performing such a portion of the maintenance services, we anticipate that we
will recognize the gross sale price of those maintenance contracts as revenue,
and defer and recognized such revenue over the contractual terms of the
maintenance agreements; contracts on which we do not perform any portion of the
services will continue to be reported on a net basis.

Results
of Operations

Year
Ended December 31, 2002 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2001

ITIS
Services was acquired as of December 31, 2001. Its results of operations are not
reflected in our financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2001 but
they are reflected for the period ended December 31, 2002. To aid in comparison,
applicable portions of this discussion of the results of operations present both
the actual data for SANZ (i.e., without ITIS Services) for the year ended
December 31, 2001, and pro forma combined data for SANZ and ITIS Services for
the year ended December 31, 2001 as though that combination had occurred on
January 1, 2001.

10

---

Sales.
SANZ sales during the year ended December 31, 2002 were $33.0 million, an
increase of $14.2 million, or 76%, over the $18.8 million recorded by SANZ for
the year ended December 31, 2001, and an increase of $4.9 million or 17% over
pro forma combined 2001 sales. Of this increase, we estimate that approximately
$12 million is primarily attributable to sales in markets penetrated through the
acquisition of ITIS Services. The remainder of the increase consists primarily
of increased sales in the federal sector, where we were successful in expanding
our customer base and in expanding the range of products that we sold to
existing customers.

Gross
Margin. Gross margin for the year ended December 31, 2002 was
22%, compared to a gross margin of 17% for SANZ on a standalone basis for the
year ended December 31, 2001, and compared to 18% on a pro forma combined basis
for 2001. We estimate that more than half of this increase in margin was caused
by a change in the revenue mix from a predominantly government focus in 2001 to
an evenly balanced mix of commercial and governmental sales in 2002, resulting
from the acquisition of ITIS services with its exclusively commercial customer
base. We believe that the remainder of the margin increase is principally due to
increased sales of professional services, which carry significantly higher
margins, and to a lesser extent from a modest improvement in pricing from our
vendors resulting from larger volumes.

Selling,
General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative
expenses (including depreciation and amortization) (SG&A) for
2002 were $10.2 million, including $1.0 million of depreciation and
amortization. This amount represents an increase of $800,000 over 2001 SG&A
expense for SANZ on a standalone basis. Excluding the effect of a $1.4 million
litigation settlement incurred in 2001, for which there was no comparable
expense in 2002, SG&A expense increased by $2.2 million in 2002. The 2002
SG&A expense represents a decline of $4.5 million ($3.1 million before the
effect of the litigation settlement) relative to the pro forma combined SG&A
expense of SANZ and ITIS Services in 2001. The increase in total operating
expense principally reflects increases in sales and engineering personnel
attributable to the overall increase in sales volume (as a result of the ITIS
Services acquisition and otherwise), and to a lesser extent an increase in
administration expense attributable to the addition of the ITIS Services
locations and operations. Offsetting these increases were reductions in the
development and marketing costs associated with our integrated solution product,
SANZstreamTM,, for which we ceased development and marketing efforts
during the course of 2002. Operating expenses (excluding depreciation,
amortization and the 2001 litigation settlement) represented 28% of total
revenue in 2002, compared to 41% of total revenue in 2001 (45%of total 2001
revenue for SANZ and ITIS on a pro forma combined basis). We believe this
improvement in our operating expense ratio is principally due to the operating
leverage inherent in our business, in which we have substantial fixed costs but
the marginal cost (excluding the cost of goods) of additional sales grows at a
more limited pace.

Over
the course of the third and fourth quarters of 2002, we took certain actions
intended to reduce expenses to levels at or below then-anticipated gross profit
levels and, in so doing, to reduce net cash requirements. Those actions
consisted principally of the elimination of a limited number of positions,
reducing our headcount by 14% from the number at June 30, 2002. The savings
associated with those changes were realized in stages, beginning in the third
quarter of 2002 and completed in the first quarter of 2003. Principally as a
result of these changes, total operating expense for the fourth quarter of 2002
(including depreciation and amortization) was reduced by approximately $150,000
from total operating expense for the second quarter of 2002 ($2,618,000 vs.
$2,772,000). Operating expense excluding depreciation and amortization was
reduced by a comparable amount, to $2,309,000 from $2,481,000. Gross profit
increased between the same periods by $264,000 (to $2,053,000 from $1,789,000).

As
noted above, the 2001 SG&A expense includes $1.4 million in losses from the
forgiveness of two large receivables from customers (3Si and XS Data,
respectively), against whom we had previously filed collection litigation. In
December 2001, we entered into binding settlements of each of these disputes.

Interest
Expense. During 2002, interest expense (net) increased by
$133,000, from $54,000 to $187,000. Approximately $100,000 of this increase
results from increases in our borrowings under our credit facility, and the
balance reflects a decline in interest income.

Liquidity
and Capital Resources

At December 31, 2002, the
Company had $2.2 million in cash and cash equivalents. This amount represents a
decrease of $3.1 million from December 31, 2001. We believe this decrease
principally results from our net loss of $3.0 million in 2002.

For the year ended December
31, 2002, our continuing operating activities used $8.1 million of cash compared
to $0.9 million of cash generated during the prior year. This decrease primarily
is due to an increase in accounts receivable of $4.8 million, and an increase in
net loss of $3.2 million. Accrued expenses, deferred revenue and inventory were
lower than at December 31, 2001, offset by increases in prepaid expenses and
accounts payable.

Cash provided by investing
activities was $225,000 in 2001 and $70,000 in 2002.

Cash provided by financing was
$4.9 million in 2002, compared to $3.9 million in 2001 due to a increase in
short term borrowings, offset in part by decreased proceeds from the sale of
equity in 2002 as compared to 2001.

In March 2002, we closed a
private offering of units, at $6,800 per unit, that raised $798,018, net of
fees. Each unit consisted of 10,000 shares and a five-year warrant to purchase
2,000 shares at $.85 per share. A total of 1,415,694 shares and 600,196
warrants, including those issued as placement agent compensation, were issued in
this offering.

During May 2001, we
established a $2.5 million line of credit agreement with Wells Fargo Business
Credit, Inc. Effective July 1, 2002, the maximum amount of this credit facility
was increased to $5.0 million. The credit facility is a revolving
facility under which we routinely draw and repay funds on a daily or near-daily
basis to address timing differences between our collections from clients and our
payments to vendors. It should be noted, however, that the funds available under
the credit line are limited to 80% of the amount of eligible accounts receivable
we hold at any given time, and fluctuations in the timing of customer orders can
adversely affect our ability to draw on the line when required. Eligible
accounts consist of substantially all accounts receivable, subject to customary
exceptions (including those aged over 90 days, otherwise-current receivables
from customers with material amounts outstanding over 90 days, and more than a
pre-set percentage of total receivables from a single customer). Borrowings
against receivables owed directly by federal government end-users are further
limited to $500,000 in the aggregate unless we have obtained an assignment
of claim executed by the government agency. Receivables from commercial
entities acting as prime contractors for federal government end-users are not
subject to this sub-limit. As of December 31, 2002, we had the full $5.0 million
available (based on eligible receivables of $7.5 million) and $4.3 million drawn
against this line of credit.

Covenants permit the lender
to declare the loan in default if Storage Area Networks, Inc., our operating
subsidiary, has a net loss greater than specified amounts during each calendar
quarter, or if the book net worth of our operating subsidiary falls below levels
that we have agreed to maintain. These levels were determined based on our
discussions with the lender and are periodically reset following negotiation
with the lender to reflect changes in our business. At December 31, 2002, we
were in compliance with our covenants regarding maximum net loss but not in
compliance with our covenant regarding net worth; however, our lender has agreed
to waive the non-compliance with the net worth covenant at December 31, 2002.

We are again not in
compliance with our covenants regarding net worth and maximum net loss at March
31, 2003, and are currently negotiating with our lender to establish new
covenants and to obtain a waiver of the existing default. At March 31, 2003, the
outstanding loan balance was $1.6 million and we had $2.7 million of undrawn
availability on the loan facility based on our eligible collateral at that date.
Based on our discussions with our lender to date, we believe that we will be
able to obtain such a waiver and that we will be able thereafter to maintain
compliance with the new covenants once they have been set. If, contrary to that
belief, the lender were to exercise its right to declare the loan in default on
the basis of our failure to meet these covenants at March 31, 2003, management
believes its credit availability from other sources would be adequate to repay
the loan.

As noted above, in
connection with the acquisition of Solunet Storage in April 2003, we have
additional credit availability in the form of a $10 million revolving loan
facility maintained by Solunet Storage. In connection with that acquisition, an
affiliate of Sun Capital Partners has also committed to guarantee a minimum of
$3 million of debt on behalf of the combined company, which is currently being
used to support the Solunet Storage loan facility. At March 31, 2003, Solunet
Storage had drawn $4.8 million on that facility, and had $1.2 million of undrawn
availability on that facility based on Solunet Storages eligible
collateral at that date. Both the availability of this guaranty and the
borrowing capacity under the loan facility maintained by Solunet Storage
(subject to our ability to generate eligible receivables to support that
facility) are significant factors in managements belief described in the
foregoing paragraph.

Prior to resetting covenant
levels pursuant to the currently-ongoing negotiations, our covenants to Wells
Fargo Business Credit for 2003 are as follows:

| |        | each month thereafter                            

As
described above, over the course of the third and fourth quarters of 2002, we
took actions intended to reduce expenses to levels at or below then-anticipated
gross profit levels and, in so doing, to reduce net cash requirements. Those
actions consisted principally of the elimination of a limited number of
positions, reducing our headcount by 14% from the number at June 30, 2002,
including both two senior management positions and several personnel in a
variety of other functions. One operational area was fully eliminated by the
elimination of the two positions then engaged in market development of the
Companys SANZStreamTM product, for which sales had
yet to develop. The savings associated with those changes were realized in
stages, beginning in the third quarter of 2002 and completing in the first
quarter of 2003. Principally as a result of these changes, total operating
expense for the fourth quarter of 2002 (including depreciation and amortization)
was reduced by approximately $150,000 from total operating expense for the
second quarter of 2002 ($2,618,000 vs. $2,772,000). Cash expense (i.e.,
excluding depreciation and amortization but including interest costs and other
non-operating expense and income) was reduced by a comparable amount, to
$2,309,000 from $2,481,000. Gross profit increased between the same periods by
$264,000 (from $1,789,000 to $2,053,000).

13

---

With
the changes in expense levels described above, net cash used in operations has
been reduced to an average of approximately $100,000 per month, based on fourth
quarter gross profit levels. Accordingly, management believes that these actions
will be sufficient to enable the Company to operate with its existing capital
base for at least the next twelve months.

While
these actions are currently projected to enable us to reach profitability
without raising additional capital, there can be no assurance that we will
succeed in doing so. For this reason, and because of the continuing slow pace of
the economy in general and of technology spending in particular, there is a
possibility that we could need either to take further action to reduce expenses
(which could entail curtailing certain operations), or to raise additional
capital, or both. Management regularly evaluates contingency plans regarding
what additional actions could be taken to further reduce expenses, and a variety
of changes occur regularly in the ordinary course of business, but no
significant additional reductions are currently contemplated outside of actions
relating to the consolidation of legacy SANZ operations with those of Solunet
Storage. If we do seek to raise capital, there is no assurance that it will be
available on favorable terms or in an amount sufficient to avoid further cost
cutting. If equity capital were raised, the issuance of those shares would also
be dilutive to the ownership interests of all other stockholders.

Capital
Expenditures

During
the year ended December 31, 2002, we purchased approximately $200,000 of
property and equipment for cash. We anticipate a modest increase in this level
of spending on capital expenditures during 2002, to levels in the range of
$250,000 to $500,000.

Seasonality

Historically,
we have not experienced significant seasonality in our business, although our
revenue is subject to fluctuation due to government and commercial purchasing
cycles. See Investment Considerations, below.

Effect
of New Accounting Pronouncements

In
June 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement 146,
Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.
This statement requires entities to recognize costs associated with exit or
disposal activities when liabilities are incurred rather than when the entity
commits to an exit or disposal plan, as currently required. Examples of costs
covered by this guidance include one-time employee termination benefits, costs
to terminate contracts other than capital leases, costs to consolidate
facilities or relocate employees, and certain other exit or disposal activities.
This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2002,
and will impact any exit or disposal activities the Company initiates after that
date.

In
December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement 148
(SFAS 148), Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation  Transition and
Disclosure, as an amendment of FASB Statement 123 (SFAS 123), to provide
alternative transition methods for a voluntary change to the fair value based
method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, SFAS
148 amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS 123 to require prominent
disclosures in annual financial statements about the method of accounting for
stock-based employee compensation and the pro forma effect on reported results
value method of accounting. The pro forma effect disclosures are also required
to be prominently disclosed in interim period financial statements. This
statement is effective for financial statements for fiscal years ending after
December 15, 2002 and is effective for financial reports containing condensed
financial statements for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2002, with
earlier application permitted. The Company does not plan to change to the fair
value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation at this
time and have included the disclosure requirements of SFAS 148 in the financial
statements included in this report.

Investment
Considerations

In addition to the other
information in this Annual Report, the following factors should be considered in
evaluating our business and financial condition. We believe the risks and
uncertainties described below may materially affect SANZ. There also could be
additional risks and uncertainties that we are currently unaware of, or that we
are aware of but currently do not consider to be material, but that may become
important in the future or prove to be material and affect our financial
condition or results of operations.

We may not be successful in
generating revenues and gross profits at a level sufficient to support the
investment we have made in infrastructure and technical resources. Even after
recent cost reductions and revenue increases, our gross profits still may not be
sufficient to cover this overhead and to enable us to become profitable without
further reductions in that overhead.

We incurred net losses of
$4.8 million in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001 and $3.0 million in the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2002. As of December 31, 2002 we had an
accumulated deficit of $14.2 million. We have not had a profitable quarter since
inception. Our December 2001 acquisition of ITIS has led to substantial
increases in our revenues and a narrowing of our net loss and we hope to achieve
the same results with our April 2003 acquisition of Solunet Storage; however, we
there can be no assurance whether or when we will achieve profitability.

We have expanded our
engineering staff and sales force and improved our infrastructure, both through
internal growth and through acquisitions, to support both expanded selling and
project execution elements necessary for our growth objectives. Including the
employees added through the ITIS acquisition, our total workforce increased from
37 full-time-equivalents at January 1, 2001 to 55 full-time-equivalents at
December 31, 2003, after peaking at approximately 65 in June, 2002. We have also
made investments in various software packages, testing lab equipment and other
fixed assets to support operations over recent periods. A combination of
increases in gross profits and reductions in this overhead (some of which were
recently undertaken) will be necessary to enable us to become profitable, and
there can be no assurance that we will be successful in doing so.

We must effectively
integrate any acquired businesses with SANZ and recognize expected synergies.

Acquisitions entail a
number of risks, including: problems integrating the acquired operations
technologies or products with our existing business and products; diversion of
managements time and attention from our core business; and difficulties in
retaining business relationships with suppliers and customers of the acquired
company. Achieving the anticipated benefits of any acquisition will depend in
part upon whether we are able to effectively integrate the businesses. Even if
we are able to integrate the acquired business operations and economic
conditions remain stable, there can be no assurance that the anticipated
synergies will be achieved.

Our
operations currently rely on continued access to bank debt. If we lose access to
such debt, our operations may be significantly impaired.

At
December 31, 2002, we had $2.2 million of cash. For the year ended December 31,
2002, we had an EBITDA loss (i.e., earnings before depreciation, amortization,
taxes and interest) of $2.0 million. At December 31, 2002 we also had a working
capital deficit (current liabilities are greater than current assets) of
$2,564,000.

We executed a bank line of
credit in 2001, and began drawing on this line early in 2002. Following the
increase at July 1, 2003, the borrowing limit under that line is $5 million. It
should be noted, however, that the funds available under the credit line are
limited by the amount of eligible accounts receivable we hold at any given time,
and fluctuations in the timing of customer orders can adversely affect our
ability to draw on the line when required. Covenants also permit the lender to
declare the loan in default if our operating subsidiary has a net loss greater
than specified amounts during each calendar quarter, or if the book net worth of
our operating subsidiary falls below levels that we have agreed to maintain. We
have periodically been in default under those covenants, and we are in default
under those covenants at March 31, 2003. We are negotiating with the lender to
obtain a waiver of that default and to set new covenant levels with which we
will be in compliance, and we believe that we will succeed in obtaining such a
waiver thereafter maintaining compliance with the new covenants once they have
been set. If we are unable to obtain such a waiver and/or to meet covenants in
the future (either the existing covenants or newly-set covenants) and the lender
were to accelerate the loan, the company would need to obtain credit from other
sources to repay the loan. We believe that we have credit available from other
sources adequate to repay the loan, but there can be no assurance such credit
would in fact be available if and when needed. These matters are discussed
further in Managements Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation
 Liquidity and Capital Resources, at page 14.

15

---

We
may seek to raise additional capital through bank borrowings or public or
private offerings of equity or debt securities or from other sources. No
assurance can be given that additional financing will be available or that, if
available, it will be on terms favorable to us. Future issuances of securities
could adversely affect the interests of our prior shareholders.

During
the second half of 2002 we took actions intended to reduce expenses to levels at
or below anticipated gross profit levels and, in so doing, to reduce net cash
requirements. The principal reductions were to personnel expense, through the
reduction of headcount by approximately 14%. The reductions included the
elimination of two senior management positions and several personnel in a
variety of other functions, including two personnel who had been engaged in
market development in the Companys SANZStreamTM
product, for which sales had yet to materialize. However, these actions have not
fully closed the gap between gross profits and expenses. Management believes
that continued scrutiny of expenses coupled with anticipated and modest
increases in gross profits will be sufficient to enable SANZ to operate with its
existing capital base for at least the next twelve months. These actions and
their effects are discussed in Managements Discussion and Analysis
or Plan of Operation, at pages 13  14.

While
these actions are currently projected to enable us to reach profitability
without raising additional capital, there can be no assurance that they will
succeed in doing so. For this reason, and because of the continuing slow pace of
the economy in general and of technology spending in particular, there is a
possibility that we will need either to take further action to reduce expenses
(which could entail curtailing certain operations), or to seek additional
capital, or both. If we do seek additional debt or equity financing, there is no
assurance that it will be available on favorable terms or in an amount
sufficient to avoid further cost cutting.

The
issuance of securities has been a significant source of cash in the past. We
also have issued material amounts of securities at various times to acquire
other companies and assets. Due to our limited cash resources, any future
acquisitions likely could be effected only by our issuance of securities, and
management may in the future deem raising capital through the sale of additional
securities to be preferable to bank financing. Additional funds raised through
the issuance of equity securities or securities convertible into our common
stock could dilute the percentage ownership of prior shareholders, or result in
our issuance of securities with rights, preferences or privileges may be senior
to those of the common shares.

Our
ability to grow our business depends on relationships with others. If we were to
lose those relationships, we could lose our ability to sell certain of our
products.

Most
of our revenue and a majority of our gross profit come from selling integrated
solutions, consisting of combinations of hardware and software products produced
by others. While our relationships change from time to time, some of our most
significant technology partners at this time are Sun Microsystems, Storage
Technology Corporation (StorageTek), Hitachi Data Systems, and Veritas Software.
If a given technology partner changes its marketing strategy and de-emphasizes
its use of marketing partners such as SANZ, our ability to generate revenue from
reselling its products would diminish and our operations and results of
operations would be materially and adversely affected.

There
will be risks associated with introducing new products. If we are not successful
with those product introductions, we will not realize on our investment in
developing those products.

Our
EarthWhereTM product has had some initial sales. We also expended
considerable resources on a second product, SANZstreamTM, before
determining that the near-term market opportunity for that product was not
sufficient to warrant further investment. Direct costs of these activities
(without allocation of overhead and similar costs) totaled approximately
$500,000 during 2002. We will continue to evaluate opportunities to develop
other integrated product solutions; if we choose to develop other such products,
we will incur expenses in those development efforts. Market acceptance of new
products may be slow or less than we expect. Our products also may not perform
in a manner that is required by the market, or our competitors may be more
effective in reaching the market segments we are targeting with these products.
Slow market acceptance of these products will delay or eliminate our ability to
recover our investment in these products. During any period that we
unsuccessfully seek to market these products, we will also incur marketing costs
without corresponding revenue.

---

Due
to our limited operating history, the uncertain acceptance of our new products,
and the continued decline in technology spending in general, we may have
difficulty accurately predicting revenue for future periods and appropriately
budgeting for expenses, resulting in expense levels unjustified by actual
revenues.

A
variety of factors coincide to reduce our ability to accurately forecast our
quarterly and annual revenue. These include SANZ limited operating
history, significant growth and changes in our operations due to acquisitions,
the continuing economic slowdown in the United States and resultant decline in
technology spending by customers, and other factors beyond our control. If our
revenue does not increase as anticipated or if it decreases, significant losses
could result due to expense levels that were established in anticipation of
revenue growth.

We
have experienced, and expect to continue to experience, significant
period-to-period fluctuations in our revenue and operating results. As a
consequence, financial results from any one period may not be indicative of
results that will be realized in future periods.

A
number of factors may particularly contribute to fluctuations in our revenue and
operating results. Significant among these is the increasing size of individual
orders received by the company; two of the three largest orders ever received by
the company ($3.1 million and $2.0 million respectively) were received in the
fourth quarter of 2002. The timing of large orders from customers and the
product integration cycle of those orders can cause significant fluctuations
from period to period. Other factors include the tendency of customers to change
their order requirements frequently with little or no advance notice to us;
deferrals of customer orders in anticipation of new products, services, or
product enhancements from us or our competitors or from other providers of
storage networking products; and the rate at which new markets emerge for
products we are currently developing. In addition to the budgeting difficulties
posed by these fluctuations, these fluctuations may cause our reported results
from any one period not to be a reliable indicator to investors of the financial
results that may be expected in future periods.

A
significant portion of our sales has historically been to the U.S. Federal
Government, and if we lost the ability to sell to the government our sales would
decline significantly.

As
discussed further under the heading SANZ and Its Business  Our
Clients at page 5, approximately one-half of our current sales are to
government customers. Moreover, various agencies and branches of the U.S.
Department of Defense, taken together, accounted for approximately 35% of total
sales in 2002. While it is not legally necessary to be an approved vendor in
order to sell to the government, we have established GSA Schedules
with the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) with respect to many of the
products we sell. GSA schedules are product and price lists that are
periodically reviewed and approved by the GSA as the basis for purchases by
federal government agencies. Those GSA Schedules greatly facilitate our sales to
government end-users. If the GSA were to refuse to renew those GSA Schedules, we
could lose much of our government revenue base and our business and results of
operations would be materially and adversely affected. Our GSA Schedules were
most recently renewed in February 2003.

Public
sale of previously restricted shares could cause the market price of our shares
to drop significantly, even if our business is doing well.

Over
one-half of our shares outstanding at March 31, 2003 are restricted
securities. While all of these shares are currently eligible for sale
under Rule 144, approximately 33% of overall outstanding shares are subject to
volume limitations under Rule 144 (i.e., the holders may legally sell only
limited quantities during a given period). When those limitations lapse, the
increased supply of shares available for sale into the public market could have
a depressive effect on the market price for our shares.

Acquisitions
of other companies could disrupt our business and harm our financial condition.

SANZ
has grown over the past few years in significant part through acquiring other
companies. It is possible that we will seek opportunities to acquire other
businesses or technologies. All acquisitions entail a number of risks that could
materially and adversely affect our business and operating results. These risks
include problems integrating the acquired operations, technologies or products
with our existing business and products. There can be no assurance that our
current management, personnel and other corporate infrastructure will be
adequate to manage growth and operations that are geographically dispersed.
Successfully integrating the operations of acquired companies is likely to take
management time and attention away from day-to-day operations.

17

---

We
are a relatively small company with limited resources compared to some of our
current and potential competitors, which may hinder our ability to compete
effectively.

Some
of our current and potential competitors have longer operating histories,
significantly greater resources, broader name recognition, and a larger
installed base of customers than we have. As a result, these competitors may
have greater credibility with our existing and potential customers. They also
may be able to adopt more aggressive pricing policies and devote greater
resources to the development, promotion and sale of their products than we can
to ours, which would allow them to respond more quickly than us to new or
emerging technologies or changes in customer requirements. In addition, some of
our current and potential competitors have already established supplier or joint
development relationships with decision makers at our current or potential
customers.

No
dividends.

SANZ
has never paid cash dividends on its common stock. We it do not contemplate
paying dividends in the foreseeable future since we will use all of our
earnings, if any, to finance current operations and the possible expansion of
our operations. See Market for Our Shares and Related Shareholder Matters
 Dividends at page 9.

Our
Articles of Incorporation permit us to issue preferred stock with rights
superior to the common stock.

We are
authorized under our Articles to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred
stock. The board of directors has the power to establish the dividend rates,
liquidation preferences, voting rights, redemption and conversion terms and
privileges with respect to any series of preferred stock. At any time the board
may issue additional shares of preferred stock having rights superior to those
of the common stock. Such an issuance could cause the market price of our common
stock to decrease. Preferred shares could be issued as a device to prevent a
change in control of SANZ. Holders of preferred stock may have the right to
receive dividends, certain preferences in liquidation and conversion rights.

# Report
of Independent Certified Public Accountants

The
Board of Directors and StockholdersSAN Holdings, Inc.

We
have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of SAN Holdings, Inc.
and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the related consolidated
statements of operations, stockholders equity and cash flows for the years
then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of
the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We
conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in
the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our
opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of SAN Holdings, Inc. and
subsidiaries as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

As
discussed in Note A to the consolidated financial statements, the Company
adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and
Other Intangible Assets on January 1, 2002.

NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December
31, 2002 and 2001

NOTE
A  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

| | SAN
Holdings, Inc. (the Company), a Colorado corporation, was formed on July 1,
1983. The Company operates a single business segment, which sells and installs
computer data storage systems and provides related services throughout the
United States.
| | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | A
summary of the significant accounting policies consistently applied in the
preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements follows:
| | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Principles
of Consolidation

| | The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its
wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and
balances are eliminated in consolidation.
| | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cash
Equivalents

| | For
the purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly
liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash
equivalents.
| | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Significant
Customers

| | In
2002, no single customer accounted for more than 10% of total revenue. However,
various separate branches within the United States Department of Defense taken
together accounted for approximately 35% of total revenue in 2002. In 2001,
three customers accounted for 29%, 13% and 11% of total revenue.
| | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Allowance
for Doubtful Accounts

| | The
majority of the Companys accounts receivable are due from governmental and
commercial entities. Credit is extended based on evaluation of the
customers financial condition and, generally, collateral is not required.
Accounts receivable are generally due within 30 to 60 days and are stated at
amounts due from customers net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Accounts
outstanding longer than the contractual payment terms are considered past due.
The Company determines its allowance by considering a number of factors,
including the length of time trade accounts receivable are past due, the
Companys previous loss history, the customers current ability to pay
its obligation to the Company, and economic and industry conditions. The Company
writes off accounts receivable when they become uncollectible, and payments
subsequently received on such receivables are credited to the allowance for
doubtful accounts. Credit losses have consistently been within managements
expectations.
| | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Inventory

| | Inventories
are stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined principally by  the
first-in, first-out method.

NOTE
A  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES  Continued

Property
and equipment

| | Property
and equipment is recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of three to seven years or
for leasehold improvements, the lesser of such period or the life of the lease.
| | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Goodwill

| | The
Company adopted SFAS 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,
effective January 1, 2002 and has identified one reporting unit. In accordance
with SFAS 142, the Company discontinued recording goodwill amortization
effective January 1, 2002.
| | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | SFAS
142 requires that goodwill be tested for impairment on an annual basis and
between annual tests in certain circumstances. The performance of the test
involves a two-step process. The first step of the impairment test involves
comparing the fair value of the Companys reporting unit with the reporting
units carrying amount, including goodwill. If the carrying amount of the
Companys reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the Company performs the
second step to determine the amount of the impairment loss. The impairment loss
is determined by comparing the implied fair value of the Companys goodwill
with the carrying amount of that goodwill.
| | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Impairment
of long-lived assets

| | The
Company evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets, including goodwill,
annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying
amount may not be fully recoverable. If the total of the expected future
undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, a loss is
recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the
assets fair market value.
| | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Financial
Instruments

| | The
fair values of the Companys financial instruments, consisting of cash and
cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and debt approximate their
carrying values.
| | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Revenue
Recognition

| | The
Companys revenue is derived primarily from two sources: (i) the resale and
installation of data storage systems, which consist of computer hardware and
software, and data storage related services; and (ii) revenue from the resale of
maintenance agreements on data storage devices.
| | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | Revenue
from the resale and installation of data storage systems is recognized upon
completion of delivery and, where applicable, any material service obligations,
provided that no significant uncertainties regarding customer acceptance exist
and collection is probable.
| | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | Revenue
from the resale of computer software is recognized when: (i) the Company enters
into a legally binding arrangement with the customer for the license of
software; (ii) delivery of the software has occurred; (iii) customer payment is
fixed or determinable and free of contingencies or significant uncertainties;
and (iv) collection is probable.
| | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | Service
revenue is recognized as the related services are completed.

NOTE
A  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES  Continued

| | The
Company does not currently perform a material portion of the maintenance
services when it resells maintenance agreements on computer hardware and
software. Accordingly, revenue from the resale of all maintenance agreements is
currently recognized net of the cost to acquire the related maintenance
agreements from the hardware and software vendors, at the beginning of the
maintenance period. The Company anticipates that in the future it may begin
performing a portion of the maintenance services with respect to some or all of
the maintenance contracts that it sells. If it should begin performing such a
portion of the maintenance services, the company anticipates that it will
recognize the gross sale price of the applicable maintenance contracts as
revenue, and defer and recognized such revenue over the contractual terms of the
maintenance agreements. The cost to acquire such maintenance agreements from the
hardware and software vendors would likewise be deferred and amortized over the
contractual terms of the maintenance agreements.
| | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Use
of Estimates

| | In
preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America, management is required to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
| | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | The
Company evaluates the realizibility of goodwill based on managements best
estimates of future cash flows from operations. However, the Company
participates in a highly competitive industry that is characterized by
aggressive pricing practices, and price sensitivity and changing demands of
customers. As a result, it is at least reasonably possible that the estimates
used by the Company to evaluate the realizibility of goodwill will be materially
different from actual amounts or results. These differences could result in the
impairment of all or a portion of the Companys goodwill, which could have
a materially adverse effect on the Companys results of operations and
financial position.
| | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Stock-Based
Compensation

| | The
Company accounts for stock-based compensation to employees using the intrinsic
value method. Accordingly, compensation cost for employee stock options is
measured as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the Companys
common stock at the date of grant over the exercise prices.

| | See
Note H for the assumptions and methodology used to determine the fair value of

Earnings
(Loss) Per Share>

| | The
Company computes basic earnings (loss) per share based on the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is
computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding plus the
number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive
potential common shares had been issued. For the years ended December 31, 2002
and 2001, all potential common shares were anti-dilutive.
| | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

New
Accounting Pronouncements

| | In
June 2001, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
141 (SFAS 141), Business Combinations. This standard eliminated the
pooling method of accounting for business combinations initiated after June 30,
2001. In addition, SFAS 141 addresses the accounting for intangible assets and
goodwill acquired in a business combination. The adoption of SFAS 141 did not
have a material effect on the Companys financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.
| | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | On
January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 142 (SFAS 142), Goodwill and Intangible Assets, which
clarified the accounting for impairments to purchased goodwill and intangible
assets. Under SFAS 142, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are
no longer amortized, but are tested for impairment annually and also in the
event of an impairment indicator.

New
Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

| | Accounting
for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. In June 2002, the FASB
issued Statement 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or
Disposal Activities. This statement requires entities to recognize costs
associated with exit or disposal activities when liabilities are incurred rather
than when the entity commits to an exit or disposal plan, as currently required.
Examples of costs covered by this guidance include one-time employee termination
benefits, costs to terminate contracts other than capital leases, costs to
consolidate facilities or relocate employees, and certain other exit or disposal
activities. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 31, 2002, and will impact any exit or disposal activities the Company
initiates after that date.

| | Stock-Based
Employee Compensation. In December 2002, the FASB issued Statement 148 (SFAS
148), Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation  Transition and
Disclosure: an amendment of FASB Statement 123 (SFAS 123), to provide
alternative transition methods for a voluntary change to the fair value based
method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, SFAS
148 amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS 123 to require prominent
disclosures in annual financial statements about the method of accounting for
stock-based employee compensation and the pro forma effect on reported results
of applying the fair value based method for entities that use the intrinsic
value method of accounting. The pro forma effect disclosures are also require to
be prominently disclosed in interim period financial statements. This statement
is effective for financial statements for fiscal years ending after December 15,
2002 and is effective for financial reports containing condensed financial
statements for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2002, with
earlier application permitted. The Company does not plan to change to the fair
value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation at this
time and have included the disclosure requirements of SFAS 148 in these
financial statements.

Reclassifications

| | Prior
to the fourth quarter of 2002, the Company accounted for the sales of hardware
and software maintenance agreements on a gross basis. In the fourth quarter of
2002, management concluded that the Company does not provide a material portion
of the maintenance service to the customer relative to service provided by the
manufacturer, and accordingly should report maintenance revenue on a net basis.
Accordingly, maintenance revenue for the year ended December 31, 2002 has been
presented net of costs. Revenues and cost of sales for 2001 have been
reclassified to present maintenance revenue on a net basis. The effect of this
change is to reduce previously reported revenue and cost of sales by $2,374,000
for 2001.

shares of the Companys common stock valued at $200,000. The Company
recorded goodwill of approximately $500,000 on this acquisition which was
accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.
| | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE
D  FINANCING ARRANGEMENT

| | The
Company has a revolving credit facility (the Facility) which permits the Company
to borrow up to $5 million, subject to availability under its borrowing
base. At December 31, 2002, $4,265,928 was outstanding. The Facility bears
interest at prime plus 3% (7.25% at December 31, 2002), expires in May 2005 and
requires the maintenance of certain financial covenants. The facility is secured
by certain assets of a subsidiary of the Company.
| | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | At
December 31, 2002, the Company was in violation of the net worth covenant under
the Facility. At March 31, 2003, the Company was again in violation of the
covenants regarding net worth and maximum net loss, and is currently negotiating
with its lender to establish new covenants and to obtain a waiver of the
existing default. At March 31, 2003, the outstanding loan balance was $1.6
million and the Company had had $2.7 million of undrawn availability on the loan
facility based on its eligible collateral at that date. Based on discussions
with the lender to date, management believes that the Company will be able to
obtain such a waiver and that it will be able thereafter to maintain compliance
with the new covenants once they have been set. If, contrary to that belief, the
lender were to exercise its right to declare the loan in default on the basis of
the Companys failure to meet these covenants at March 31, 2003, the
Company believes its credit availability from other sources would be adequate to
repay the loan.
| | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | In
connection with the acquisition of Solunet Storage, Inc. (Solunet Storage) in
April 2003, the Company has additional credit availability in the form of a $10
million revolving loan facility maintained by Solunet Storage. At March 31,
2003, Solunet Storage had drawn $4.8 million on that facility, and had $1.2
million of undrawn availability on that facility based on Solunet Storages
eligible collateral at that date.

The total number of shares of common stock subject to options under this plan
may not exceed 5,000,000 shares. Options granted under the plan vest generally

Accounting Standards No. 123 (SFAS 123), Accounting for Stock-based
Compensation, for employee stock options and continues to apply Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees, for recording stock options granted.
| | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | The
fair value of these options was estimated at the date of grant using the

assumptions used for grants in fiscal 2002 and 2001, respectively: dividend
yield of 0% for all periods; volatility of 105% and 105%; risk-free interest
rates of 2.6% and 4.1% and expected lives of one to five years. The weighted
average fair value of options granted were $.29 and $.80 per share during
fiscal 2002 and 2001, respectively.

Item 14.
Controls and Procedures.

Within the 90
days prior to the date of this report, an evaluation was performed, under the supervision
and  with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer,  of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our
disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to  Exchange Act Rule 13a-14. That evaluation
has provided our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer  with reasonable
assurance that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting
them to  material information required to be included in our periodic SEC filings. We
have not made any significant  changes in our disclosure controls and procedures or in
other factors that could significantly affect those  disclosure controls and procedures
subsequent to the date of the evaluation described above.
