NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     Cox Technologies, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Vitsab Sweden, AB,
a Swedish corporation, and Cox Recorders Australia, Pty., Ltd., a 95% owned
Australian distribution company (collectively "the Company"), engage in the
business of producing and distributing temperature recording and monitoring
devices, both in the United States and internationally.

     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes
should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements
and notes included in the Cox Technologies, Inc. 2002 Annual Report on Form
10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal
recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of the results of
operations for the interim periods have been recorded. Certain amounts
previously reported have been reclassified to conform with the current period's
presentation.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued two
Statements of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS"), SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill
and Other Intangible Assets" (SFAS No. 142) and SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for
Asset Retirement" (SFAS No. 143). In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144
"Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" (SFAS No. 144).

     SFAS No. 142 addresses financial accounting and reporting for acquired
goodwill and other intangible assets and supersedes Accounting Principles Board
("APB") Opinion No. 17, "Intangible Assets." It addresses how intangible assets
that are acquired individually or with a group of other assets (but not those
acquired in a business combination) should be accounted for in financial
statements upon their acquisition. SFAS No. 142 also addresses how goodwill and
other intangible assets should be accounted for after they have been initially
recognized in the financial statements. Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill and
intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives will not be amortized but
rather will be tested at least annually for impairment. Intangible assets that
have finite useful lives will continue to be amortized over their useful lives,
but without the constraint of the 40-year maximum life required by SFAS No. 142.
The provisions of SFAS No. 142 were adopted effective May 1, 2002. However, as
the Company had recognized a loss on impairment of goodwill during the fourth
quarter of fiscal 2002, the adoption of the provisions of SFAS No. 142 had no
significant effect on its financial position or results of operations.

     SFAS No. 143 addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations
associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated
asset retirement costs. The provisions of SFAS No. 143 are required to be
applied starting with fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. The Company
expects to adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 143 effective May 1, 2003. The
Company believes the adoption of the provisions of this statement will not have
a significant effect on its financial position or results of operations.

     SFAS No. 144 addresses financial accounting and reporting for the
impairment or disposal of long-lived assets and supersedes SFAS No. 121,
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to
be Disposed Of" and APB Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations -
Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary,
Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions." The provisions of
SFAS No. 144 were adopted effective May 1, 2002. There was no significant effect
on the Company's financial position or results of operations as a result of
adopting these provisions.

NOTE B - DEBT

     On July 13, 2000 the Company entered into a five-year term loan ("Term
Loan") with its primary lender, RBC Centura Bank ("Centura") in the amount of
$1,190,000. The Company used the proceeds of the Term Loan to retire short-term
debt of approximately $1,177,000 and the remainder was used for working capital.

     Initial principal payments of $9,920, in addition to accrued interest, were
due monthly from August 2, 2000 to July 2, 2001. The rate of interest on the
Term Loan is Centura's prime rate plus .625% per annum. Thereafter, principal
payments of $22,312.50, in addition to accrued interest, are due monthly until
July 13, 2005.

     The Company also established a revolving line of credit with Centura for
working capital in the amount of up to $1,000,000 ("Revolving Loan"), subject to
a maximum percentage of eligible trade accounts receivable and inventories. The
rate of interest on the Revolving Loan is Centura's prime rate plus .25% per
annum and is due monthly beginning in August 2000.

     The principal of the Revolving Loan was due on September 2, 2001. On
October 30, 2001 the Company executed a note modification agreement with Centura
that extended the maturity date of the Revolving Loan to November 2, 2001. On
November 29, 2001, the Company executed (a) an amendment to the original
Revolving Loan Agreement, (b) a new security agreement and (c) a note
modification agreement for the Term Note and for the Revolving Loan that were
effective October 30, 2001 (collectively "Modified Agreements"). These Modified
Agreements extended the maturity date of the Revolving Loan to January 31, 2002
and changed the rate that interest will accrue on the Term Note and the
Revolving Loan from prime rate plus .625% per annum and prime rate plus .25% per
annum, respectively, to 30-day LIBOR plus 500 basis points per annum. These
Modified Agreements also stated that Centura would forbear exercise of its
rights and remedies under the Modified agreements until January 31, 2002, so
long as the Company continues to pay the principal and interest on the Term Note
and pay interest on the Revolving Loan. On February 21, 2002 the Company
executed documents with Centura, effective January 31, 2002, that amended the
Modified Agreements to extend the maturity dates of the Revolving Loan and the
Term Loan to July 31, 2002.

     The Company had borrowed $1,000,000 related to this line of credit at April
30, 2002. On June 7, 2002, the Company paid $200,000 down on the amount
outstanding on this line of credit, leaving a balance of $800,000 at January 31,
2003.

     Centura also agreed to finance the lease of two major pieces of production
equipment related to the manufacturing of the Vitsab(R) product. The Company has
advanced approximately $842,000 in progress payments on the cost of both pieces
of equipment, of which $464,000 was advanced directly by Centura. Through
January 31, 2002, the Company had accrued and paid approximately $57,000 of
interest related to the progress payments made by Centura on behalf of the
Company. Pursuant to the lease agreement relating to the equipment, the Company
was to receive the amount of its progress payments upon delivery and acceptance
of the equipment and the closing of the lease. If needed, Centura had agreed to
loan the Company the total amount of progress payments made by the Company for a
minimum of 90 days at an interest rate of prime plus 1% per annum.

     In November 2001, the Company met with representatives of the engineering
firm that designed, and was in the later stages of constructing, the new
production equipment for manufacturing the Vitsab(R) product. In that meeting,
the engineering firm stated it was still having technical problems with the
production equipment. These problems prevent the engineering firm from
delivering a machine that meets the Company's production requirements at the
agreed upon fees. It was also noted that the engineering firm could not continue
to work on the technical problems without the infusion of approximately $300,000
of additional funds by the Company. It was agreed by both parties that the
design and construction of the new production equipment would be put on hold
indefinitely. It was also agreed that the Company could have possession and/or
title to the equipment at its current state of development. The date of
completion of the new production equipment, if ever, will be determined at a
later date. The engineering firm also offered the use of its engineering staff
to increase the efficiency of the Company's existing two units of production
equipment and improve the quality of the Vitsab(R) product being produced. If
needed, the Company has two units of production equipment, located at its plant
in Malmo, Sweden, to support the Vitsab(R) production requirements.

     The cost of the equipment related to the first lease is approximately
$1,000,000, with monthly lease payments of $17,040, including interest at
approximately 9.35% for a period of 84 months. The cost of the equipment related
to the second lease is approximately $80,000, with monthly lease payments of
$1,685, including interest at approximately 10.4% for a period of 60 months.
Both leases were to commence upon the delivery of the equipment. Effective March
13, 2001, the Company and Centura agreed to combine both leases into one lease
agreement. The combined lease was to commence upon

                                       10
<PAGE>
the delivery of the equipment. As a result of the indefinite delay in the design
and construction of the equipment, the Company and Centura agreed to execute
documents on February 21, 2002 that converted the $464,000 advanced under the
lease by Centura to a five-year term loan ("Lease Loan"), effective January 31,
2002. The executed documents also incorporated the note into the Modified
Agreements. The interest rate on the note is the 30-day LIBOR plus 500 basis
points per annum, with monthly payments of $7,700 plus accrued interest. The
maturity date of the note is July 31, 2002.

     Effective July 31, 2002, the Company executed documents with Centura that
extended the maturity date of the Term Loan, the Revolving Loan and the Lease
Loan ("Loans") to October 31, 2002 and decreased the amount available on the
Revolving Loan from $1,000,000 to the then outstanding balance of $800,000. The
Company began discussions with Centura and a group of asset-based lenders in an
attempt to modify the Loans before October 31, 2002 to extend the maturity
dates. As a result, the Term Loan and Lease Loan have been classified as current
portion of long-term debt.

     Effective December 1, 2002, the Company executed documents with Centura
that extended the maturity date of the Loans to March 15, 2003. Under this new
arrangement, the Company will continue paying the current monthly principal
payments plus accrued interest on the Loans during this forbearance period. This
extension will give the Company additional time to procure additional debt or
equity funding to allow the Company to decrease the amount owed to Centura by an
additional $450,000 (the "Loan Reduction"). The Company is required to reduce
the amount of principal outstanding under the Loans to $1,215,000, including the
Loan Reduction, by March 15, 2003. The Loan Reduction is in addition to the
Company's normal monthly principal payments due on the Loans and the $91,000
payment that the Company received on January 30, 2003 from the purchaser of the
oilfield subleases. If this target is obtained, Centura has agreed to amortize
the remaining balance over a fixed period of time not to exceed 42 months.
Centura has also indicated their intent to decrease the rate of interest
accruing on the new loan as the Company meets certain target balances.

     The Company has agreed to certain covenants, including prohibiting the
payment of dividends, with respect to the Loans.

     On February 6, 2003, the Company commenced mailing of a Notice of Special
Meeting of Shareholders to be held on March 12, 2003 to shareholders of record
as of January 17, 2003 to consider and vote upon a proposal to issue and sell
12,500,000 shares of common stock to Technology Investors, LLC ("TI"), an
affiliate of Brian D. Fletcher and Kurt C. Reid, both executive officers and
directors of the Company, in a private placement ("Proposed Offering") at $0.06
per share for a total purchase price of $750,000. Most of the capital to be
raised in the Proposed Offering will be used to reduce the Company's debt to
Centura, and the balance will be used for working capital purposes. The terms of
the Proposed Offering were negotiated and approved by the Special Committee of
the Company's Board of Directors comprised of the Company's three outside
directors and subsequently approved by the Board of Directors (with Mr. Fletcher
and Mr. Reid abstaining). Before negotiating or approving the terms of the
Proposed Offering, the Special Committee retained an outside consultant to
provide a valuation of the Company. The consultant provided the Special
Committee with a valuation of the Company that established a per share range
valuation of $0.0398 - $0.0676 and provided the Special Committee with its
opinion dated January 16, 2003 to the effect that, as of that date and based
upon and subject to the assumptions made, matters considered and limitations on
the review described in the written opinion, the consideration to be paid by TI
in the Proposed Offering is fair, from a financial point of view, to the
shareholders of the Company.

     Since the closing of the Proposed Offering has been expressly conditioned
on the Company's securing approval of the Proposal from its shareholders, if the
Company is unable to obtain such shareholder approval and cannot consummate the
Proposed Offering, the Company would have to pursue other financial and
operational alternatives in order to raise more capital to accomplish the Loan
Reduction and to achieve its business objectives. Given the state of the
economy, the March 15, 2003 deadline for accomplishing the Loan Reduction and
the current fund-raising climate, the Company does not believe there is any
viable funding alternative to this Proposed Offering. Even if such an
alternative does become available, that proposal may be on terms substantially
less favorable to the Company. The closing of the purchase and sale of the
securities will take place within five business days following the receipt of
stockholder approval of the transaction. If the Company is unsuccessful in
obtaining additional capital for the Loan Reduction and working capital, the
Company may not be able to continue operating as a going concern.

NOTE C - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     In March 2000 the Company entered into an agreement with Technology
Investors, LLC ("TI") whereby the Company issued to TI a 10% subordinated
convertible promissory note due March 10, 2005 in the amount of $2,500,000 for
cash. The principal amount of the note and interest accrued thereon are
convertible, at the option of holder into shares of the Company's common stock
at a conversion price of $1.25 per share. At January 31, 2003, the principal and
accrued interest

                                       11
<PAGE>
of $3,251,875 would be converted into 2,601,500 shares of the Company's common
stock. Brian D. Fletcher and Kurt C. Reid serve as the co- managers of TI and
share voting and dispositions power with respect to the Common Stock issuable
upon conversion of the note.

     In addition, Mr. Fletcher and Mr. Reid were named directors of the Company.
The Company has agreed to nominate Mr. Fletcher and Mr. Reid for three
consecutive terms on the Board of Directors. Mr. Fletcher and Mr. Reid were also
both retained as consultants to the Company and share the role of Chief
Operating Officer of the Company. In connection for their services they each
were to receive compensation of $1 annually and a one-time grant of immediately
exercisable options to purchase 300,000 shares of the Company's common stock at
an exercise price of $1.25 per share for a period of up to 10 years. In fiscal
2001, Mr. Fletcher and Mr. Reid each received stock options to purchase
2,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $0.59 per
share for a period of up to 10 years. In fiscal 2002, Mr. Fletcher and Mr. Reid
each received stock options to purchase 800,000 shares of the Company's common
stock at an exercise price of $0.11 per share for a period of up to seven years.
On July 23, 2001, the Board of Directors approved an increase in compensation
for Mr. Fletcher and Mr. Reid. Retroactive to January 1, 2001, they each were to
receive compensation of $100,000 annually, payable quarterly in shares of the
Company's common stock valued at the average daily closing price during the
quarter. During fiscal 2002, Mr. Fletcher and Mr. Reid were paid $75,000 of
salary in unrestricted shares of the Company's common stock at an average market
price of $0.35 per share under this structure. Approved by the Board of
Directors on December 7, 2001, Mr. Fletcher and Mr. Reid agreed to a decrease in
their annual compensation to $1 effective October 1, 2001.

     On March 15, 2002, the Board of Directors approved a compensation
structure, effective March 1, 2002, whereby Mr. Fletcher and Mr. Reid would be
compensated based on the actual monthly cash flow and quarterly net income
generated by the Company. The maximum annual compensation would be capped at
$210,000 each. During fiscal 2002, Mr. Fletcher and Mr. Reid were compensated
$7,500 each under this structure. During fiscal 2003, Mr. Fletcher and Mr. Reid
each have been compensated $45,668 under this structure.

     On November 9, 2002, the Board of Directors approved a revised compensation
structure for Mr. Fletcher and Mr. Reid effective November 1, 2002. Under the
new structure, 50% of the amount owed but not paid under the previous
compensation structure will be paid in equal installments to Mr. Fletcher and
Mr. Reid over the next six months. The amount owed totaled approximately
$104,000. The Board of Directors also fixed the annual salary of Mr. Fletcher
and Mr. Reid at $100,000 each effective November 1, 2002.

     On February 6, 2003, the Company commenced mailing of a Notice of Special
Meeting of Shareholders to be held on March 12, 2003 to shareholders of record
as of January 17, 2003 to consider and vote upon a proposal to issue and sell
12,500,000 shares of common stock to TI in a private placement ("Proposed
Offering") at $0.06 per share for a total purchase price of $750,000.

     TI would be the sole purchaser of the common stock in the Proposed
Offering. Immediately following the closing of the Proposed Offering, TI,
together with Mr. Fletcher, Mr. Reid and their affiliates, collectively will own
and control beneficially an aggregate of 15,534,466 shares of common stock, or
approximately 37.9% of the Company's then issued and outstanding common stock,
including 2,601,500 shares of the Company's common stock that TI may obtain by
converting its existing promissory note. The proposed per share purchase price
is above the last trading price of the Company's common stock both on the day
before the Company announced the transaction ($0.03 per share on January 17,
2003), and on January 30, 2003 ($0.05 per share). The proposed per share
purchase price of $0.06 is $0.0076, or 11% below the upper end of the range
provided by an outside consultant in its final valuation of the Company. The
outside consultant has provided the Special Committee with its opinion dated
January 16, 2003 to the effect that, as of that date and based upon and subject
to the assumptions made, matters considered and limitations on the review
described in the written opinion, the consideration to be paid by TI in the
Proposed Offering is fair, from a financial point of view, to the shareholders
of the Company.

$1,507,273, or 24% and 23%, for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2003
of total revenues as compared to $417,677 and $1,026,291, or 20% and 16%, for
the same periods last year. The sale of Vitsab(R) products represented $73,242
and $187,976, or 3%, for both the three and nine months ended January 31, 2003
of total revenues as compared to $31,238 and $54,002, or 2% and less than 1%,
for the same periods last year. The sale of temperature probes and related
products represented $26,157 and $96,483, or 1%, for both the three and nine
months ended January 31, 2003 of total revenues as compared to $28,902 and
$105,422, or 1% and 2%, for the same periods last year. The sale of oil and
other miscellaneous products represented the balance. Management believes that
the Company will continue to experience a decrease in average sales price for
all products due to competitive price pressure, but expects units sales for its
primary products to remain constant, or in the case of electronic data loggers,
increase in future periods.

     Cost of sales decreased $211,577 and $556,053, or 15% and 13%, for the
three and nine months ended January 31, 2003 as compared to the same periods
last year. The decrease in both periods is due to decreasing labor and benefit
costs, supplies used in the manufacturing process and a reduction in the price
that the Company now pays for raw material components, offset slightly by
increased repairs and maintenance expense and retriever fees.

     During fiscal 2002, the Company contracted with a third party to
manufacture and assemble certain base versions of the Cox1 units at an offshore
location. This location is supplying approximately 50% of the total number of
units being utilized by the Company. Because of this manufacturing arrangement,
the Company has realized significant cost savings on units manufactured in both
the offshore and Belmont, North Carolina facilities. The Company plans to
continue assembling special use Cox1 units in the Belmont facility. The Belmont
facility will also continue to manufacture and assemble a certain percentage of
the base Cox1 units. If necessary, the production capabilities of the Belmont
facility can easily be expanded to meet the total demand for all Cox1 units. The
Company has identified certain risks and uncertainties that are associated with
offshore production that include, but are not limited to, political issues,
transportation risks and the availability of raw materials. The Company will not
experience foreign currency exchange risks as all transactions are denominated
in U.S. dollars.

     General and administrative expenses increased $90,578 for the three months
ended January 31, 2003, or 20% as compared to the same period last year. This
increase is due to increased salary expenses related to the previously mentioned
revised compensation structure for Mr. Fletcher and Mr. Reid, increases in
directors and officers insurance, workers' compensation insurance, payroll taxes
and outside services, partially offset by decreased legal fees, accounting fees,
professional services and outside consulting and expenses associated with
servicing securities. General and administrative expenses decreased $189,768 for
the nine months ended January 31, 2003, or 10% as compared to the same period
last year. This decrease is related to lower costs associated with legal fees,
professional services and outside consulting, health insurance, office supplies,
expenses associated with servicing securities and telephone expenses, partially
offset by increases

                                       13
<PAGE>
in compensation for Mr. Fletcher and Mr. Reid, directors and officers insurance,
workers' compensation insurance, computer expenses and postage.

     Selling expense decreased $6,810 and $208,196, or 2% and 20%, for the three
and nine months ended January 31, 2003 as compared to the same periods last
year. The decrease in the both periods is primarily due to lower sales salaries,
health insurance, commissions, automobile expenses, outside consultants,
shipping and telephone expenses, trade show expenses, partially offset by
increases in advertising expenses, computer expenses and outside services.

     Depreciation expense decreased $4,024 and $10,671, or 5% and 4%, for the
three and nine months ended January 31, 2003 as compared to the same periods
last year.

     Amortization of patents and goodwill decreased $52,755 and $158,265, or
83%, for both the three and nine months ended January 31, 2003 as compared to
the same periods last year. This decrease resulted from all goodwill related to
the acquisition of Vitsab Sweden, AB being evaluated and written off as a loss
on impairment in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002.

     Other income increased $25,930, or 105%, for the three months ended January
31, 2003 as compared to the same period last year. This increase is primarily
related to the reversal of the accrued finance charges and the refunding of a
deposit received for executing a purchase and sale agreement with a potential
purchaser of the oilfield subleases as discussed in Liquidity and Capital
Resources, both of which occurred last year. Other income decreased $32,616, or
18%, for the nine months ended January 31, 2003 due primarily to a decrease in
the amount of the payments received as a result of a revision in the agreement
between the Company and its Copenhagen distributor for an option to purchase all
of the shares and assets of the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Vitsab
Sweden, AB. Details of this agreement are discussed in Liquidity and Capital
Resources.

     Interest expense decreased $43,427 and $34,728, or 28% and 9%, for the
three and nine months ended January 31, 2003 as compared to the same periods
last year. The primary reason for this decrease is the reclassification of
interest paid on progress payments made by Centura from deposits to interest
expense of approximately $51,600 in the prior year periods and a slight decrease
in interest related to leased equipment, partially offset by the increase in the
interest accrued on the note payable to Technology Investors, LLC dated March
10, 2000 in the amount of $2,500,000 and interest on the revolving line of
credit and notes with RBC Centura Bank.

     The decrease in accounts receivable of $81,524, or 8%, is primarily due to
enhanced collection efforts related to past due receivables.

     The increase in notes receivable of $75,000 is due to the promissory note
related to the sale of the oilfield subleases as discussed in Liquidity and
Capital Resources.

     Property held for sale decreased $300,000 due to the sale of the oilfield
subleases on September 30, 2002. Details of this transaction are discussed in
Liquidity and Capital Resources.

     The decrease in property and equipment of $145,531, net of depreciation, is
primarily due to depreciation, partially offset by the purchase of tooling,
machinery and equipment, and leasehold improvements.

     LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company derives cash from operations, equity sales, and borrowing from
long- and short-term lending sources to meet its cash requirements. At present,
the cash flow from operations is not adequate to meet cash requirements and
commitments of the Company. The Company may enter into equity, debt or other
financing arrangements to meet its general working capital needs, including the
Proposed Offering described below.

     On July 13, 2000 the Company entered into a five-year term loan ("Term
Loan") with its primary lender, RBC Centura Bank ("Centura") in the amount of
$1,190,000. The Company used the proceeds of the Term Loan to retire short- term
debt of approximately $1,177,000 and the remainder was used for working capital.

     Initial principal payments of $9,920, in addition to accrued interest, were
due monthly from August 2, 2000 to July 2, 2001. The rate of interest on the
Term Loan is Centura's prime rate plus .625% per annum. Thereafter, principal
payments of $22,312.50, in addition to accrued interest, are due monthly until
July 13, 2005.

     The Company also established a revolving line of credit with Centura for
working capital in the amount of up to

                                       14
<PAGE>
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION (CONTINUED)

$1,000,000 ("Revolving Loan"), subject to a maximum percentage of eligible trade
accounts receivable and inventories. The rate of interest on the Revolving Loan
is Centura's prime rate plus .25% per annum and is due monthly beginning in
August 2000.

     The principal of the Revolving Loan was due on September 2, 2001. On
October 30, 2001 the Company executed a note modification agreement with Centura
that extended the maturity date of the Revolving Loan to November 2, 2001. On
November 29, 2001, the Company executed (a) an amendment to the original
Revolving Loan Agreement, (b) a new security agreement and (c) a note
modification agreement for the Term Note and for the Revolving Loan that were
effective October 30, 2001 (collectively "Modified Agreements"). These Modified
Agreements extended the maturity date of the Revolving Loan to January 31, 2002
and changed the rate that interest will accrue on the Term Note and the
Revolving Loan from prime rate plus .625% per annum and prime rate plus .25% per
annum, respectively, to 30-day LIBOR plus 500 basis points per annum. These
Modified Agreements also stated that Centura would forbear exercise of its
rights and remedies under the Modified agreements until January 31, 2002, so
long as the Company continues to pay the principal and interest on the Term Note
and pay interest on the Revolving Loan. On February 21, 2002 the Company
executed documents with Centura, effective January 31, 2002, that amended the
Modified Agreements to extend the maturity dates of the Revolving Loan and the
Term Loan to July 31, 2002.

     The Company had borrowed $1,000,000 related to this line of credit at April
30, 2002. On June 7, 2002, the Company paid $200,000 down on the amount
outstanding on this line of credit, leaving a balance of $800,000 at January 31,
2003.

     Centura also agreed to finance the lease of two major pieces of production
equipment related to the manufacturing of the Vitsab(R) product. The Company has
advanced approximately $842,000 in progress payments on the cost of both pieces
of equipment, of which $464,000 was advanced directly by Centura. Through
January 31, 2002, the Company had accrued and paid approximately $57,000 of
interest related to the progress payments made by Centura on behalf of the
Company. Pursuant to the lease agreement relating to the equipment, the Company
was to receive the amount of its progress payments upon delivery and acceptance
of the equipment and the closing of the lease. If needed, Centura had agreed to
loan the Company the total amount of progress payments made by the Company for a
minimum of 90 days at an interest rate of prime plus 1% per annum.

     In November 2001, the Company met with representatives of the engineering
firm that designed, and was in the later stages of constructing, the new
production equipment for manufacturing the Vitsab(R) product. In that meeting,
the engineering firm stated it was still having technical problems with the
production equipment. These problems prevent the engineering firm from
delivering a machine that meets the Company's production requirements at the
agreed upon fees. It was also noted that the engineering firm could not continue
to work on the technical problems without the infusion of approximately $300,000
of additional funds by the Company. It was agreed by both parties that the
design and construction of the new production equipment would be put on hold
indefinitely. It was also agreed that the Company could have possession and/or
title to the equipment at its current state of development. The date of
completion of the new production equipment, if ever, will be determined at a
later date. The engineering firm also offered the use of its engineering staff
to increase the efficiency of the Company's existing two units of production
equipment and improve the quality of the Vitsab(R) product being produced. If
needed, the Company has two units of production equipment, located at its plant
in Malmo, Sweden, to support the Vitsab(R) production requirements.

     The cost of the equipment related to the first lease is approximately
$1,000,000, with monthly lease payments of $17,040, including interest at
approximately 9.35% for a period of 84 months. The cost of the equipment related
to the second lease is approximately $80,000, with monthly lease payments of
$1,685, including interest at approximately 10.4% for a period of 60 months.
Both leases were to commence upon the delivery of the equipment. Effective March
13, 2001, the Company and Centura agreed to combine both leases into one lease
agreement. The combined lease was to commence upon the delivery of the
equipment. As a result of the indefinite delay in the design and construction of
the equipment, the Company and Centura agreed to execute documents on February
21, 2002 that converted the $464,000 advanced under the lease by Centura to a
five-year term loan ("Lease Loan"), effective January 31, 2002. The executed
documents also incorporated the note into the Modified Agreements. The interest
rate on the note is the 30-day LIBOR plus 500 basis points per annum, with
monthly payments of $7,700 plus accrued interest. The maturity date of the note
is July 31, 2002.

     Effective July 31, 2002, the Company executed documents with Centura that
extended the maturity date of the Term Loan, the Revolving Loan and the Lease
Loan ("Loans") to October 31, 2002 and decreased the amount available on the
Revolving Loan from $1,000,000 to the then outstanding balance of $800,000. The
Company began discussions with

                                       15
<PAGE>
Centura and a group of asset-based lenders in an attempt to modify the Loans
before October 31, 2002 to extend the maturity dates. As a result, the Term Loan
and Lease Loan have been classified as current portion of long-term debt.

     Effective December 1, 2002, the Company executed documents with Centura
that extended the maturity date of the Loans to March 15, 2003. Under this new
arrangement, the Company will continue paying the current monthly principal
payments plus accrued interest on the Loans during this forbearance period. This
extension will give the Company additional time to procure additional debt or
equity funding to allow the Company to decrease the amount owed to Centura by an
additional $450,000 (the "Loan Reduction"). The Company is required to reduce
the amount of principal outstanding under the Loans to $1,215,000, including the
Loan Reduction, by March 15, 2003. The Loan Reduction is in addition to the
Company's normal monthly principal payments due on the Loans and the $91,000
payment that the Company received on January 30, 2003 from the purchaser of the
oilfield subleases. If this target is obtained, Centura has agreed to amortize
the remaining balance over a fixed period of time not to exceed 42 months.
Centura has also indicated their intent to decrease the rate of interest
accruing on the new loan as the Company meets certain target balances.

     The Company has agreed to certain covenants, including prohibiting the
payment of dividends, with respect to the Loans.

     On February 6, 2003, the Company commenced mailing of a Notice of Special
Meeting of Shareholders to be held on March 12, 2003 to shareholders of record
as of January 17, 2003 to consider and vote upon a proposal to issue and sell
12,500,000 shares of common stock to Technology Investors, LLC ("TI"), an
affiliate of Brian D. Fletcher and Kurt C. Reid, both executive officers and
directors of the Company, in a private placement ("Proposed Offering") at $0.06
per share for a total purchase price of $750,000. Most of the capital to be
raised in the Proposed Offering will be used to reduce the Company's debt to
Centura, and the balance will be used for working capital purposes. The terms of
the Proposed Offering were negotiated and approved by the Special Committee of
the Company's Board of Directors comprised of the Company's three outside
directors and subsequently approved by the Board of Directors (with Mr. Fletcher
and Mr. Reid abstaining). Before negotiating or approving the terms of the
Proposed Offering, the Special Committee retained an outside consultant to
provide a valuation of the Company. The consultant provided the Special
Committee with a valuation of the Company that established a per share range
valuation of $0.0398 - $0.0676 and provided the Special Committee with its
opinion dated January 16, 2003 to the effect that, as of that date and based
upon and subject to the assumptions made, matters considered and limitations on
the review described in the written opinion, the consideration to be paid by TI
in the Proposed Offering is fair, from a financial point of view, to the
shareholders of the Company.

     Since the closing of the Proposed Offering has been expressly conditioned
on the Company's securing approval of the Proposal from its shareholders, if the
Company is unable to obtain such shareholder approval and cannot consummate the
Proposed Offering, the Company would have to pursue other financial and
operational alternatives in order to raise more capital to accomplish the Loan
Reduction and to achieve its business objectives. Given the state of the
economy, the March 15, 2003 deadline for accomplishing the Loan Reduction and
the current fund-raising climate, the Company does not believe there is any
viable funding alternative to this Proposed Offering. Even if such an
alternative does become available, that proposal may be on terms substantially
less favorable to the Company. The closing of the purchase and sale of the
securities will take place within five business days following the receipt of
stockholder approval of the transaction. If the Company is unsuccessful in
obtaining additional capital for the Loan Reduction and working capital, the
Company may not be able to continue operating as a going concern.

     In April 2001 the Company executed an Option Agreement with its Copenhagen
distributor ("Purchaser") for an option to purchase all of the shares in, and
assets of, the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Vitsab Sweden, AB. The Option
Agreement gave the Purchaser until November 30, 2001 to exercise the option. In
return for the option, the Purchaser agreed to pay the Company $20,000 a month
beginning March 2001 and ending November 2001. During the option period, the
Company could not sell, transfer, pledge, mortgage or otherwise dispose of nor
issue new shares in Vitsab Sweden, AB without the prior written approval by the
Purchaser. The Company also executed a Share Purchase Agreement ("Purchase
Agreement") whereby the stated purchase price for all of the shares in, and
assets of, Vitsab Sweden, AB is $1.00. In addition, the Purchaser must make
monthly payments of $6,000 to the Company beginning the month after the option
is exercised and ending with the final payment in June 2004. If the option is
executed, the Purchaser will have the exclusive right for ten years to
manufacture, sell and distribute the Vitsab(R) product in certain countries
designated in the Purchase Agreement. The Purchaser also agreed to pay the
Company a minimum annual royalty based on the volume of Vitsab(R) products sold.

     On October 18, 2001 the Company entered into a verbal agreement with the
Purchaser to extend the Option Agreement indefinitely, with a requirement that
each party provide a two month notice to cancel the Option Agreement.
Additionally, the Purchaser will pay $17,000 a month in return for the extension
beginning December 1, 2001. In April 2002

                                       16
<PAGE>
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION (CONTINUED)

an Amended Agreement was executed to document this verbal agreement. The Amended
Agreement also revised the minimum annual royalty payments in the Purchase
Agreement. All of the other terms and conditions in the Option Agreement and
Purchase Agreement remained the same. On April 15, 2002, the Purchaser notified
the Company that he was terminating the Option Agreement effective June 15,
2002. During May 2002, the Purchaser rescinded the termination notice and both
parties agreed verbally to extend the Option Agreement until September 15, 2002,
and then on a month-to-month basis, with a requirement that each party provide a
30-day notice to cancel the Option Agreement. The Purchaser also agreed to
continue paying the Company $17,000 a month while the Option Agreement was in
place. All of the other terms and conditions in the Option Agreement remained
the same. If the Purchaser did not execute the option by the end of the option
period, the Company would retain ownership of all shares in, and assets of,
Vitsab Sweden, AB. In March 2002, the Company notified the landlord in Sweden
that it would not be renewing its lease that expired on December 31, 2002.

     On December 10, 2002 the Company executed a Second Amended Agreement with
the Purchaser that extended the option period until March 31, 2003. The
Purchaser must provide the Company with written notice on or before March 1,
2003 if the Purchaser plans to exercise the option. The Purchaser agreed to
continue paying the Company $17,000 a month while the Option Agreement was in
place. If the Purchaser did not execute the option, the Company would retain
ownership of all shares in, and assets of, Vitsab Sweden, AB. The Purchaser has
negotiated with the landlord in Sweden to extend the lease of the facilities
through June 2003. Additionally, the Purchaser agreed to reimburse the Company
for all lease payments paid by the Company beginning April 1, 2003. All of the
other terms and conditions of the Option Agreement remained the same. The Second
Amended Agreement also changed the minimum annual royalty payments and other
various terms of the Purchase Agreement. On February 28, 2003, the Purchaser
notified the Company that he was exercising the option to purchase all of the
shares in, and the assets of, Vitsab Sweden, AB.

     As discussed in the Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2002, the
Company's entire Vitsab(R) operation was largely dependent on one customer and
that management could not, at that time, predict whether that customer's pilot
program would be successful or if that customer would continue to use the
Vitsab(R) product. On September 5, 2002 the Company received notification from
that customer it was not going to continue with the pilot program. The Company
also received notification from the largest user of Vitsab(R) products in that
customer's pilot program that they will continue to purchase and use the
Vitsab(R) product in their operations. Although the Company continues to
manufacture and sell the Vitsab(R) products to the largest user in the pilot
program and other smaller-volume customers, management cannot predict how long
it will continue to manufacture and sell the Vitsab(R) products.

     The Company's existing manufacturing equipment located in Belmont has the
nominal capacity to produce enough of the Vitsab(R) products to meet the
currently projected demands of the current customer base. The labels have
consistently proved to perform as effective time-temperature monitors. In prior
periods certain technical issues in production resulted in delayed delivery of
labels and in the inconsistent performance of equipment for activating and
dispensing the labels. These issues were related to the interaction of raw
material properties with manufacturing protocol and consequent performance
inconsistencies of the finished product when deployed in the Company's automated
Vitsab(R) activator-dispensers. However, the Company has recently resolved the
major issues related to the activation and dispensing equipment and the
equipment is performing satisfactorily. The Company continues to improve its
processes to enhance manufacturing efficiency as well as the reliability and
consistency of the product. In the current quarter, the Company has added
several new customers that are now using the Vitsab(R) product as an integral
part of their operations.

     As previously disclosed in other documents, the Company owns working
interests in oil well subleases in Kern County, California, named the Mitchel
and Bacon Hills subleases. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001, the Company
recognized a loss on impairment of $3,062,196 leaving $300,000 of net assets
related to the subleases as property held for sale. The Company has attempted to
sell the subleases for nearly two years. In August 2001 the Company received an
offer to purchase the subleases and received a good faith deposit. After due
diligence was completed, the potential purchaser determined the Company may not
have good title to the subleases due to an extended period of non-production
during the 1990's. With their uncertainty about the Company being able to
deliver good title, the potential purchaser canceled the offer and the deposit
was refunded in November 2001.

     The Company hired legal counsel and a title insurance company to perform a
title search on the subleases and to research any title issues that were found.
The title insurance company issued a policy for $1,000,000 of title coverage on
the subleases. One of the exceptions listed in the title policy relates to a
lien filed by the operator on July 31, 2001. In the Company's opinion, the lien
filed by the operator is without merit and is clearly in violation of the
agreement dated June 30, 2000 between the Company and the operator. The
agreement supersedes all previous agreements and states that 120% of the
operator's capital investment at the date of the agreement will be repaid from
50% of the net profit generated from the

                                       17
<PAGE>
operations of the subleases or proceeds from the sale of the subleases. At April
30, 2002, the Company accrued $90,000, which is the balance of capital and
related interest that the operator invested into the subleases under a previous
agreement.

     On March 21, 2002, the Company received an offer from a group, which
includes the operator of the subleases, to purchase the oil subleases for
approximately $362,000. The lien filed by the operator would be paid out of the
proceeds in order to have the lien filed on the subleases released. The offer
was accepted on March 25, 2002, and the parties began to draft the definitive
purchase and sale agreement. The purchase and sale agreement was executed by
both parties on June 3, 2002. The purchaser was required to deposit $50,000 into
an escrow account within two business days upon execution of the agreement.
These funds were never deposited into the escrow account by the purchaser. In a
letter dated June 20, 2002, the Company notified the purchaser that they were in
default of the purchase and sale agreement and therefore the agreement had been
terminated. On July 11, 2002, the Company executed an addendum to the original
purchase and sale agreement with the same purchaser after receiving a $25,000
non-refundable deposit. The closing of the transaction took place on September
30, 2002. At closing, the Company received an additional $50,000, net of
transaction fees. The balance of the sale price is comprised primarily of a
promissory note in the amount of $175,000 and the $87,000 payment to the
operator of the oilfield subleases that settled the ongoing lawsuit between him
and the Company. The Company received the first installment under the note of
$100,000 on January 30, 2003, and the last installment of $75,000 and is due on
May 30, 2003. Proceeds from the first installment were, and proceeds from the
last installment will be, reduced by a $9,000 sales commission paid to a third
party.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

     Within the 90-day period prior to the date of this report, the Company,
under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including
our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, carried out an
evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's
disclosure controls and procedures (the "Evaluation"). Based upon the
Evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded
that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring
that material information relating to the Company, including its consolidated
subsidiaries, is made known to them by others within the organization,
particularly during the period in which this quarterly report was being
prepared. There were no significant changes in the Company's internal controls
or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to
the date of the Evaluation.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION AND SIGNATURES

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION

     Following the approval of the Stock Purchase Agreement by the Special
Committee and the Board of Directors, Mr. Robert D. Voigt and Dr. George M.
Pigott, both Directors of the Company, resigned from the Board effective January
17, 2003. Mr. Voigt recently moved from North Carolina and informed the Board of
Directors that he intended to resign following completion of the Special
Committee's work on the Proposed Offering. Dr. Pigott informed the Board that,
as a result of living on the West Coast and being unable to personally attend
Board meetings, he felt that the Company would be better served if it could
replace him with a local director who could be more active on the Board. Both
