Item 1. Description of Business.

Organization and General History

     In April 1997, Perfection Development Corporation was incorporated under
the laws of Colorado. We were originally formed for the purpose of developing
and constructing real estate properties. On September 29, 1998, we acquired all
the outstanding capital stock of Vertica Software, Inc., a California
corporation ("Vertica California"). At the time of the acquisition, we were
inactive and had no significant assets. Vertica California was in the business
of developing Internet software products serving the hazardous materials and
hazardous waste industries. We have continued this business since the
acquisition. On December 31, 1998, Vertica California, which we then held as a
subsidiary, merged with and into us. We became the surviving corporation in the
merger and the separate corporate existence of Vertica California ceased.
Concurrently with the merger, we changed our name to Vertica Software, Inc. Our
stock trades on the NASD OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol "VERI". Our
headquarters are located in Austin, Texas.

     We are a development-stage company that is developing Internet software
products intended to serve industries that are impacted by government regulation
of hazardous materials and hazardous wastes and other environmental laws and
regulations. We are developing software products designed to provide information
about environmental regulations and a software management system to assist
companies with their environmental regulation compliance and related activities
for common industrial applications. We have developed and may continue to
develop software products within a software management system called " iComply".
These products reside in our website called Hazweb.com, which was previously
called Vertica.com.

     The iComply products currently include: Communicator (which is designed to
manage efficiently a facility's environmental reporting, emergency response, and
crisis communication before, during, and after an emergency incident); Inventory
(which is designed to streamline hazardous chemical and waste inventory tracking
and assists in the management of hazardous materials and wastes); Transporter
(which is designed to automate the shipping, labeling, transporting compliance
and invoicing of hazardous materials and wastes).

     Hazweb.com includes the Marketplace (which offers e-commerce business
solutions that streamline the sales process and allow hazardous materials
marketers to operate more efficiently).

     All trademarks and trade names appearing in this document are the property
of their respective holders.



CURRENT STATUS OF DEVELOPMENT

     As stated earlier, we completed the development of three products included
in the iComply system, and all three products have been used at Olympian, the
largest independent oil marketer in California. It is our current plan,
providing we obtain the necessary funding, to sell these products in the
marketplace, which includes the oil and gas, petro-chemical, transportation,
industrial and agricultural chemical industries. We currently estimate that we
will need approximately $500,000 in funds, in order to satisfy our estimated
cash requirements over the next twelve months. We cannot assure you, however,
that we will receive the necessary financing.

Page 1

     As a development-stage Company, we have cumulatively, since inception, had
revenues totaling $107,887. Our expenses to date have been incurred in
connection with the development of the software products and the Hazweb .com
(formerly called Vertica.com) web site and other marketing, sales and
administrative expenses. We have formalized our pricing models, and have
designed a licensing agreement which we intend our customers to execute.

Industry Overview

     Companies that transport, store, or handle hazardous materials are required
by federal, state and local laws to meet current regulations. These regulations
require training of personnel, proper handling and storing of hazardous
materials, filing of appropriate government forms, production of required
shipping papers and labeling and placarding of hazardous materials. These
government regulations are complex and difficult to interpret and are updated
and revised from time to time. Failure to comply with current environmental
regulations can result in significant criminal and civil penalties, including
fines, damages and injunctions. See "Government Regulations."

     The growth of the environmental regulation compliance market is driven
primarily by the maintenance and expansion of environmental regulations in the
United States, including federal, state and local regulatory schemes. We believe
that continued public pressure for environmental protection in the United States
will likely result in continued and increased environmental regulation of many
industries.

     We believe our products can serve companies in the following industries and
the following government agencies:

     Transportation, including railroad, highway, marine and air;

     Manufacturing, including petroleum refining and related industries,chemical
and allied products, rubber and miscellaneous plastics, primary metal
industries, fabricated metal products, industrial and commercial
machinery,electronic, electrical equipment and components, transportation
equipment, measuring and analyzing and controlling instruments, and other
manufacturing industries;



     Engineering and research services, including petroleum, chemical,
industrial, sanitary, biological, non-commercial biological and testing
laboratories;

     Utilities, including electric, gas and sanitary;

     Other industries, including mining, agricultural, construction, insurance,
industry wholesale trade, training agencies and industry consulting agencies;
and

     Government agencies, including the Environmental Protection Agency, the
Department of Transportation and the Occupational Health and Safety
Administration.

     We cannot assure you, however, that we will be able to successfully market
our products to participants in these potential markets.

     The Vertica Solution

     We believe that many companies hire consultants to insure environmental
compliance and that other companies spend substantial amounts to hire in-house
information technology groups to design and maintain environmental compliance
systems. We believe we offer a solution based on a combination of a Web browser
and Microsoft SQL Servers, and bring together a software management system with

Page 2


an on-line  community.  This solution allows our software  products and Internet
web site, discussed below, to function in concert.

     We have designed our environmental software management system, iComply, to
assist our customers by reducing the time and costs required by consultants,
internal information technology and environmental management staff for
regulatory compliance with environmental regulations. Our products would not,
however, provide any check for compliance with applicable regulations of a
customer's internal systems.

     We have also designed the Internet web site, Hazweb.com (formerly called
Vertica.com) as an environmental web portal serving the hazardous materials and
hazardous waste industries. Hazweb.com contains extensive and continuously
updated information relating to current environmental regulations, and enables
clients and vendors in the hazardous materials industry to interact on-line. The
iComply products reside within Hazweb.com.

     We believe that our customers will be able to use our systems to reduce the
labor time and resources needed to comply with hazardous waste and environmental
regulations. A customer is asked by the software to respond to a list of
relevant questions, the responses are linked to forms and other documentation
used for reporting and compliance purposes. We call these lists of questions and
links "wizards." The data accumulated in the modules can be retrieved for a
variety of purposes through the software, thus enabling the user to reduce the
amount of manual calculations, hard paper information gathering and storage and
other clerical functions needed to complete required reports and notices.



Our Strategy

     We derive revenues from three diversified products and services:

     Licensing of iComply products, transaction fees for filing activities, and
e-commerce marketplace transaction fees on the Hazweb.com web site. We believe
that our pricing for the licensing and training are lower than the costs a
customer would incur in developing an in-house system due to the distribution of
our costs of development and maintenance across our entire client base. We also
believe that iComply modules will attract clients by lowering their capital and
labor costs associated with environmental compliance. Some activities, such as
plain text searches of government regulations, are offered for free, in order to
generate initial traffic to our web site. Finally, we have set our transaction
fees on Hazweb.com at the then current market rates for such fees.

     We believe that our Hazweb.com web site will be a hub for a client's
environmental compliance transaction activity, as well as the entry point for
research queries into our proposed database. We believe that eventually a steady
traffic flow through our site will result in vendors connecting with clients in
these industries.

Products and Services

     iComply. On February 1, 2000, we released two products, the iComply
Communicator and Inventory modules. On July 17, 2000, we released the iComply
Transporter, and in the first quarter of 2001, we released the Hazweb e-commerce
marketplace platform. Over the next twelve months, the Company's primary
commitment is to market and sell its existing products.

     iComply Features

     We have designed our iComply software products, comprised of separate
Internet accessible software modules as described below, to assist clients in
industries subject to environment and hazardous materials and hazardous waste
regulations in environmental compliance, reduce regulatory paper trails and

Page 3

streamline the administrative efforts associated with hazardous materials and
hazardous waste management and crisis communications, thus reducing costs to
those industries.

     iComply Products:

     Inventory

     The Inventory module, as part of each of the other iComply products
discussed below, provides assistance to customers and data to other iComply
products by managing chemical and waste information for each customer site. The
module is designed to link



material safety data sheets ("MSDS") and waste profile information directly to a
customer's facility inventory. The module provides customers with a site map
feature and the capability to track inventory down to the individual building
level. A customer will be able to use the inventory and regulated chemical lists
to facilitate chemical control, emergency compliance and environmental
reporting. Inventory can be updated manually by the customer or automatically by
iComply products as a customers products are received, manufactured, transported
or released. The Inventory module is complete and has been used by Olympian,
which is the largest independent oil marketer in California.

     Communicator

     The Communicator is designed to manage a facility's hazardous materials,
emergency compliance, crisis communications and environmental reporting
information. The product includes hazardous materials plan builders, compliance
wizards and automated document submission. Electronic forms and checklists are
designed to streamline response efforts and minimize reporting errors. The
Communicator module is also designed to facilitate internal as well as external
communications, allowing continuous control of a customer's facility public
image. This module also supports compliance with EPCRA (Emergency Planning and
Community Right to Know) and related environmental regulations. The Communicator
was released on February 1, 2000.

     Transporter

     The Transporter is designed to serve the hazardous materials and waste
transportation needs of a customer. The product includes automated Department of
Transportation registration form, bill of lading and waste manifest software
"wizards," document tracking and incident and exception report capability. The
module automatically updates chemical and waste inventories, allows access to
material information and provides labeling and placard information essential to
the shipment of hazardous materials. This product supports compliance with
Department of Transportation regulations. The Transporter was released on July
17, 2000.

     Processor

     The Processor will be designed to serve each iComply customer site's
production floor process mapping, inventory, hazardous materials and waste
stream needs. It will support compliance with TSCA (Toxic Substance Control
Act)and related regulations. The development and first release of this product
depends upon us generating revenue on our existing completed products.

     HazOSHA

     The HazOSHA product will be designed to serve each iComply customer site's
hazardous materials employee safety policies, procedures and training needs,
including on-line training. This module will support compliance with hazardous
materials related sections of 29 CFR OSHA (Code of Federal Regulations for

Page 4


Occupational Safety and Health Administration). The development and first
release of this productdepends upon us generating revenue on our existing
completed products.

     Permitter

     The Permitter product will be designed to serve each iComply customer
site's permit monitoring and compliance needs, and will include air, liquid
discharge and hazardous waste permit application software "wizards." This module
will support compliance with CAA (Clean Air Act), EPA (Environmental Protection
Agency), RCRA (Resource Conservation and Recovery Act), CWA (Clean Water Act),
AQMD (Air Quality Management District) and related regulations. Programming of
permit processors for this product has suspended, and the completion and first
release of this product depends upon us generating revenue on our existing
completed products.

     Hazweb.com

     Hazweb.com (which was called Vertica.com) is our web site that has been
designed to provide updated information on environmental regulations and serve
as an e-commerce web portal in which vendors and clients in the hazardous
materials industry will be able to buy and sell products and services. The
iComply products reside within Hazweb.com. The features of this system are:

     News and Analysis: It is intended that Hazweb.com provides current industry
news for the hazardous materials community, including stories from business,
government, energy, environment and finance. Our web site features informational
articles written by experts in the hazardous materials industry and offers an
internet posting site for industry related press releases and publications.

     Marketplace: Hazweb Marketplace offers an industry-specific marketplace for
the purchase, sale and exchange of hazardous materials-related goods and
services. It includes a customizable directory of industry products and
services, and features tools for online price management and customer
notification. Marketplace includes customer-specific quotes and order processing
services that are interfaced with the iComply Inventory and Transporter
products, thereby providing an integrated e-commerce and hazardous materials
management system.

     Hazinfo: We believe that Hazweb.com serves the multifaceted information
needs of the hazardous materials and the hazardous waste communities. It
features industry-specific glossaries, a public contacts database, codified
regulations, on-line MSDS access, discussion groups, event calendars and an
industry-related resume posting and career center.

     Sales and Marketing

         We are in the process of analyzing and targeting potential markets for
their usage of our products. Once we have identified these markets, we will
tailor our products to their specific needs.

Once our products are tailored, we will use marketing tools including focus
groups, public relations, directmail, channel distributions, advertisement and
telemarketing. Based on the evolving markets for each product line, we will
modify the marketing program to utilize all appropriate marketing resources. In
general, the marketing for each product line follows the following
 format:

1. Introductory product announcements, public relations and media coverage;

2. Promotion via trade shows, conferences and the Internet;

Page 5

3. Direct sales using our sales personnel;

4. Expansion of sales channels through distributors and business partnerships;

5. Ongoing advertising through targeted media and the Internet;

6. Product demonstration and information at Hazweb.com (web-site),
   www.Hazweb.com.

Additionally, we will seek marketing and distribution partnerships with other
firms that stand to benefit from bringing our target industries on-line. This
could include such partners in the on-line infrastructure field such as computer
network equipment manufacturers, software database providers and other business
solutions providers. Additionally, we promote Hazweb.com's ability to provide
data for research and crisis preparedness, make available information that helps
companies dealing with the hazardous materials and hazardous wastes industries'
fragmented environment and "information overload ," and to minimize the
paperwork associated with hazardous materials and hazardous waste regulatory
compliance.



Competition

     While we are not aware of any other company that currently offers a suite
of software products similar to our proposed products, several environmental
management firms, with substantially greater financial and marketing resources
than Vertica, have existing products and services that compete with one or more
of our iComply modules, as described below. In addition, several firms have
established their own Internet web sites that may compete with our Hazweb.com
web site and e-commerce services.

     For example, Vertical Suites, a subsidiary of Levine-Fricke, offers an
environmental management system based on SAP, a database software application
system that performs logistics, finance, sales, human resources and related
business functions. Amoco Corporation offers a system based on Lotus Domino, an
integrated messaging and applications software platform. While these competing
systems will appeal to companies that already use the SAP or Domino
applications, the SAP and Domino applications are based on an in-house or
intra-company paradigm. We believe, however, that our system permits the
integration of regulatory compliance work flow among suppliers, carriers,
receivers and governmental agencies, all of which input or receive data
regarding hazardous materials activities.

     One central aspect of our iComply Transporter product is producing
hazardous materials shipping papers that are filed with the Environmental

Page 6


Protection Agency. We have approached the California EPA to accept electronic
filing of these papers and we believe that Sterling Software has a similar
initiative in Illinois based on their electronic data interchange, or EDI,
technology. Industrial facilities rely on CAD/CAM software that includes process
models. Process models typically track raw materials through the initial
production process to shipment of the product. These models can be extended to
serve environmental process applications, and in these situations these
"in-house" models may compete with our proposed iComply Process module. Most
industrial facilities rely on a variety of consultants and training classes to
comply with OSHA regulations and such services will compete with the services to
be offered by our proposed iComply HazOSHA module. Similarly, most industrial
companies rely on environmental consulting firms to prepare and obtain permits
and such firms will, therefore, offer services in competition with the services
offered by our proposed iComply Permitter product.

     We also face competition in connection with our Internet web site. For
example, Verticalnet is an existing web portal with an environmental community
that offers environmental industry news and electronic commerce, but does not
provide the additional resources, including a glossary, access to regulations,
industry contacts or MSDS repositories, or the software applications that our
Hazweb.com web site will provide. While other Internet sites provide similar
resources for free, our site offers them in combination with industry news and
environmental management applications. Also, the Environmental Protection Agency
itself offers an assortment of on-line access to regulations and form completion
software, but the software is not integrated with the customer's environmental
information database and the applications are maintained at the customer's site,
away from access to the regulations. In addition, there are several sites that
offer extensive MSDS repositories, however, our Hazweb.com MSDS repository is
linked to our customer's chemical inventory, which facilitates access to MSDS
data used for a customer's regulatory compliance calculations, emergency
planning, hazardous materials shipping papers, and employee hazard
communication.

Employees

     As of December 31, 2003, we had no full-time compensated employees and no
part-time compensated employees.

Government Regulations

     We offer software products and services through our Internet web site that
assists customers to comply with a variety of federal and state environmental
statutes and administrative regulations. Consequently, our business will be
affected to a substantial degree by the existing and future government
regulatory environment. While not anticipated, our business would be adversely
affected to the extent regulatory requirements are reduced or eliminated,
thereby reducing the demand for our products and services.

     We provide a searchable text database of published federal regulations and
electronic links to the federal regulations and each of the state's
environmental regulatory database, therefore, our customers have access to
environmental statutes and regulations regarding environmental reporting and
compliance requirements. We do not believe that products and services we offer
are subject to governmental agency approval, however, we do have to comply with
regulations regarding the submission of reports and data electronically to

Page 7

governmental agencies.

RISK FACTORS

     OUR BUSINESS AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS COULD BE SERIOUSLY HARMED BY ANY OF
THE FOLLOWING RISKS. THE TRADING PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK COULD DECLINE DUE TO
ANY OF THESE RISKS, AND YOU MAY LOSE ALL OR PART OF YOUR INVESTMENT:

     We are a development-stage company that, as of December 31, 2003, had
cumulative revenues since inception of $107,887;



     We were formed in 1996 and have been a development stage company that has
had very little in revenues to date. Our revenue model is evolving and we have
one customer to date. Additional potential customers have only been evaluating
our products;

     We will encounter risks and difficulties frequently encountered by
development-stage companies in new and rapidly evolving markets. Many of these
risks are described in more detail in this section. We may not successfully
address any of these risks. If we do not successfully address these risks, our
business would be seriously harmed;

     WE HAVE NEW MANAGEMENT

     The Company has been under new management since October 22, 2001. Although
the new management has significant business experience, our ability to
effectively execute our business strategy depends in large part on our new
management's ability to become acclimated to the Company's infrastructure and
particular business issues. If the new management is unable to do so, our
business and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

     WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF DEVELOPING A SALES AND MARKETING FORCE, BUT IF WE
ARE UNABLE TO EFFECTIVELY DEVELOP ADEQUATE SALES AND MARKETING CAPABILITIES, WE
MAY BE UNSUCCESSFUL IN ADEQUATELY COMMERCIALIZING OUR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES.

     Fully developing a sales and marketing force is expensive and
time-consuming and could delay additional sales of our products and services. If
we are unable to establish our sales and marketing capability, we may fail to
realize our full sales potential.

     WE ANTICIPATE WE WILL INCUR CONTINUED LOSSES FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE.

     We expect to incur significant losses for the foreseeable future. As of
December 31, 2003, we generated cumulative revenues of $107,887 and have not
been profitable. While we intend to market our products and services, sales may
not occur. We may never be profitable or, if we become profitable, we may be
unable to sustain profitability.

     The anticipated losses may result from our plan to increase our operating
expenses in order to:

     Maintain our Hazweb.com web site and iComply products and developing
     additional iComply products;

     Increase our sales and marketing operations;

     Broaden our customer support and software capabilities; and

     Pursue strategic marketing and distribution alliances.

     Continued losses may result in our inability to further develop and market
our products, which is important to our plan to generate and grow our revenues.

Page 8

     WE MAY HAVE DIFFICULTY OBTAINING FUTURE FUNDING SOURCES, IF NEEDED, AND WE
MIGHT HAVE TO ACCEPT TERMS THAT WOULD ADVERSELY AFFECT SHAREHOLDERS.

     We will need to raise funds from additional financing. We have no
commitments for any financing and any financing commitments may result in
dilution to our existing stockholders. We may have difficulty obtaining
additional funding, and we may have to accept terms that would adversely affect
our stockholders. For example, the terms of any future financings may impose
restrictions on our right to declare dividends or on the manner in which we
conduct our business. Also, lending institutions or private investors may impose
restrictions on a future decision by us to make capital expenditures,
acquisitions or significant asset sales. We may not be able to locate additional
funding sources at all.

     If we cannot raise funds on acceptable terms, when needed, we may not be
able to enhance our services to customers, launch new products, grow our
business or respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated requirements,
which could seriously harm our business.

     WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO COMPETE EFFECTIVELY WITH OTHER PROVIDERS OF HAZARDOUS
MATERIALS AND ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PRODUCTS.

     We believe that the strongest potential competition does not come from
traditional service groups but rather from the evolution of the Internet and the
types of hazardous materials, hazardous wastes and environmental management
service providers that evolution will create. As applications for hazardous
materials and environmental management providers begin to proliferate and
mature, we will compete with other technology companies and traditional service
providers such as environmental consulting firms that seek to integrate on-line
hazardous materials, hazardous waste and environmental management technologies
with their traditional service mix.

     Competition for Internet products and services is intense. We expect that
competition will continue to intensify. Barriers to entry are minimal, and
competitors can launch new web sites at a relatively low cost. We expect that
additional companies will establish competing environmental management systems.

     Hazardous materials and environmental management applications are in the
early stages of development. As these applications evolve, however, we expect
that other entrepreneurs and large, well known leaders of the hazardous
materials and environmental compliance industries will create other niche
environmental services that may compete with our services. These large industry
leaders would have better name recognition in the markets that we target.



     Several environmental consulting firms have existing products and services
that compete with one or more of our iComply products. In addition, several
environmental consulting firms have established their own Internet web sites
that may compete with our Hazweb.com (formerly called Vertica.com) web site.
These firms have substantially greater financial and marketing resources than we
have.

     OUR COMMON STOCK PRICE IS LIKELY TO BE HIGHLY VOLATILE.

     The market price of Vertica Software common stock is likely to be highly
volatile as the stock market in general, and the market for Internet-related and
technology companies in particular, has been highly volatile. Our shareholders
may not be able to resell their shares of Vertica Software common stock
following periods of volatility because of the market's adverse reaction to this
volatility. The trading prices of many technology and Internet-related
companies' stocks have reached historical lows within the past 12 months and
have reflected relative valuations substantially below historical levels. We
cannot assure you that our stock will trade at the same levels of other Internet

Page 9


stocks or that Internet stocks in general will sustain their current market
prices.

Factors that could cause this volatility may include, among other things:

     actual or anticipated variations in quarterly operating results;

     announcements of technological innovations;

     new  products or services;

     changes in financial estimates by securities analysts;

     conditions  or  trends  in  the  hazardous   materials  and   environmental

     Vertica Software, Inc. is a development-stage company that is developing
Internet-based software products, e-commerce marketplace, and online resources
intended to serve industries that are impacted by government regulation of
hazardous materials, hazardous wastes and other environmental laws and
regulations. We are developing software products designed to assist companies

Page 15

with their environmental regulation compliance and related activities for common
industrial applications.

     On November 1, 2000, we released our Hazweb e-commerce marketplace platform
for beta-testing. Hazweb Marketplace offers an industry-specific marketplace for
the purchase, sale and exchange of hazardous materials-related goods and
services. It includes a customizable directory of industry products and
services, and features tools for online price management and customer
notification. Marketplace includes customer-specific quotes and order processing
services that are interfaced with the iComply Inventory and Transporter
products, thereby providing an integrated e-commerce and hazardous materials
management system.

Results of operations:

     The Company realized a net loss from operations of $405,143 for the year
ended December 31, 2003, compared to a realized net loss from operations of
$503,531 for the year ended December 31, 2002. The Company has realized, since
January 1, 1996 (inception) to December 31, 2003, a cumulative net loss from
operations of $5,168,059. The Company had $50,000 in sales from operations for
the year ended December 31, 2003, and cumulatively $107,887 for the period
January 1, 1996 (Date of Inception) through December 31, 2003.

Plan of operation:

     Loss on operations for the Company for the years ended December 31,2003 and
2002(decreased)increased (20%) and (64)%, respectively, from the prior years for
the same periods. These losses are attributed to the Company's development,
marketing and general expenses. The Company will, over the next 12 months, rely
on additional funding through the sale of promissory notes convertible to common
stock, the sale of common stock, and sales from company products.



     The Company has reduced its monthly operating expenses by eliminating
salaries and overhead related to the development stage of its products. The
Company also moved its Application Service Provider hardware and software
platform to a lower cost, higher performance computer co-location facility.

     The resulting efforts has allowed the Company to focus more on marketing
the products and developing strategic alliances with similar companies, and
companies desiring to add Vertica's products to their business line.

Liquidity and Capital Resources:

     To date, our activities have been financed primarily through the sale of
our common stock and promissory notes convertible into our common stock. We
currently estimate that we will need approximately $500,000 in funds, in order
to satisfy our estimated cash requirements over the next twelve months. We
cannot assure you however, that we will be able to raise the necessary capital
to fund the next twelve months of operations.

     Operating revenues are expected to be generated, but such revenues may not
be substantial or in the amounts we expect. We anticipate that we will need
these additional funds to implement our sales strategies, and to establish
strategic alliances with other companies. We intend to raise such funds
primarily through the sale of our equity or debt securities. There can be no
assurance that we will be able to obtain such additional financing due to the
recent downturn in the financial market, or whether the terms of such financing
will be favorable to us. Failure to obtain such financing or failure to generate
sufficient operating revenues from the sale of our initial products would have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of
operations.


Page 16


     During the year ended December 31, 2003, we received no funds from the
issuance of common stock.

     We are currently recasting the Company's personnel structure in order to
enter the marketing phase of operations. The Company has engaged one key former
employee, on a consulting basis, familiar with its products to implement
marketing plan. The Company plans to outsource all other technical support
required.

Research and Development:

     We have released the following products and modules, which are available
for licensing to potential customers:

         iComply Inventory module (released for licensing February 2000) iComply
         Communicator (released for licensing February 2000) iComply Transporter
         (released for licensing July 2000) Hazweb E-Commerce Marketplace

The development of iComply Processor has been suspended until future
profitability from the existing products is obtained.

     While marketing these products, we will also be developing strategic
alliances within our industry through target marketing opportunities and
advertising. Web site maintenance expenses for the next twelve months are
expected to be approximately $38,000.

Purchase of Significant Equipment:

     The Company does not expect to expend any funds for the purchase of
equipment over the next twelve months.

Significant Change in Number of Employees

     If we are successful in obtaining additional funding, we intend to hire,
during the next twelve months, one additional employee and outsource our
marketing expenses which we have budgeted at $85,000.

                   INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT



We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Vertica Software, Inc., a
Colorado corporation (the "Company"), formerly Perfection Development
Corporation, (a development stage company) as of December 31, 2003, and 2002,
and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows
for the period January 1, 1996 (inception) through December 31, 2003. On
December 31, 1998, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of
Vertica Software, Inc., a California corporation ("Vertica California") in a
reverse acquisition merger. The merger has been accounted for as a capital
acquisition as further described in the notes to the financial statements. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audit.

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 and the report of
other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, based on our audits, the financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company
at December 31, 2003, and 2002, and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for the period January 1, 1996 (inception) through December 31, 2003, in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company
will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Notes 1 and 2 to the financial
statements, the Company has incurred significant development stage losses and
has a limited supply of cash resources, which raises substantial doubt about its
ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these
matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include
any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 1 - LOSSES DURING THE DEVELOPMENT STAGE


Development Stage Company

The Company is in the development stage in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 7. All of the costs incurred to date
have been related to the development of its products, development of its
proposed Internet website, and the raising of capital to finance such
activities.

The Company, as discussed in Notes 2, 3, and 4 below, has incurred operating
losses since inception, totaling $5,168,059 through December 31, 2003.

Management plans to raise additional capital, primarily through the issuance of
common stock and convertible promissory debt until successful operations are
obtained, and the Company is no longer in the development stage.

In view of these matters, realization of a major portion of the assets in the
accompanying balance sheet is dependent upon the Company's ability to meet its
financing requirements, and the success of its future operations. Management
believes that actions presently being taken to underwrite the Company's
development stage through completion will provide the necessary financial
requirements, which in turn will provide the opportunity for the Company to
continue as a going concern.


NOTE 2 - ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS

Background


Vertica Software, Inc., (the "Company"), formerly "Perfection Development
Corporation", was incorporated in Colorado on April 18, 1997. As further
discussed in Notes 3 and 4, on September 29, 1998, Perfection Development
Corporation entered into an agreement pursuant to which it would acquire all of
the outstanding capital stock of Vertica Software, Inc., a California
corporation ("Vertica California"). On December 31, 1998, Vertica California
merged with and into the Company. The Company was the surviving corporation in
the merger and the separate corporate existence of Vertica California ceased.
Concurrently with the merger, the Company changed its name from Perfection
Development Corporation to Vertica Software, Inc. The Company is developing
Internet/Intranet software products and services and an Internet web site for
the hazardous material and environmental industries.

Products

The Company's current product development includes an environmental management
computer software system called ICOMPLY and an Internet web site called
HAZWEB.COM. ICOMPLY is planned to be a set of computer software modules designed
to automate environmental regulation compliance and related activities for
common industrial applications. The related activities will include chemical
inventory listings and tracking, transportation manifests, emergency response,
permit applications, waste streams, and occupational training. HAZWEB.com is an
on-line web site intended to serve the hazardous materials community and
environmental concerns of industry. The Company intends to allow ICOMPLY to link
to HAZWEB.COM for additional content information, on-line regulations
compliance, and on-demand training and services.

NOTE 2 - ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS - Continued



Liquidity

The Company has recurring operating losses since inception that have continued
subsequent to December 31, 2003. The losses are primarily due to product
development costs, and administrative infrastructure costs related to the
financing and development of the Company's business.

The Company has received $ 115,558 in financing for the year ended December 31,
2003.

The Company understands that the proceeds from this and similar transactions
will not provide adequate funding to sustain the Company's operations. Permanent
equity funding must be raised. There is no assurance that the funding will be
raised, or that it will be sufficient to sustain operations until the Company
begins generating positive cash flows.

The Company's plan to continue the marketing of its core products and commence
sales operations through the year ending December 31, 2004 is solely dependent
on additional funding through the sale of equitable securities or convertible
promissory notes and assistance through the issuance of stock in lieu of
compensation.


NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES



Basis of Presentation

As further discussed in Note 4, the acquisition of Vertica California was
accounted for as a "reverse merger acquisition" whereby, for accounting
purposes, Perfection Development Corporation acquired the Company under the
purchase method of accounting and, due to the lack of significant prior
operations of Perfection Development Corporation, was substantially recorded as
a "recapitalization". Accordingly, the historical financial statements have been
restated after giving effect to the December 31, 1998 acquisition of the
Company. The financial statements have been prepared to give retroactive effect
to January 1, 1996 of the reverse merger acquisition completed on December 31,
1998 and represent the operations of Vertica California. Consistent with reverse
acquisition accounting: ( i ) all of Vertica California's assets, liabilities
and accumulated deficit are reflected at their combined historical cost ( as the
accounting acquirer ) and ( ii ) the preexisting outstanding shares of the
Company ( the accounting acquiree ) are reflected at their net asset value as if
issued on December 31, 1998.


Management Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, retained earnings, income and expenses, and related disclosures for
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and such
differences could be material.

NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash is defined as cash in demand deposit accounts as well as cash on hand. Cash
equivalents are short term, highly liquid investments that are readily
convertible to known amounts of cash and investments so near their maturity that
the risk of changes in value due to changes in interest rates is negligible.
These are generally investments with maturity dates within three months of their
acquisition date. Not included as cash equivalents are funds restricted as to
their use, regardless of liquidity or the maturity dates of investments.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of
credit risk consist principally of uninsured cash balances. The Company places
its cash deposits with high-credit quality financial institutions. At times,
balances in the Company's cash accounts may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance
Company (FDIC) limit of $100,000.


Prepaid Expenses

Prepaid expenses are charged to the statement of operations in the period for
which the benefit is incurred.


Equipment

As further discussed in Note 5, equipment is carried at cost. Depreciation is
provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the
related assets, which is five years. Capitalized equipment leases are
depreciated over the lesser of their estimated useful life or lease term.

Product Development

Product development expenditures are charged to operations as incurred.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 86, "Accounting for the
Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed", requires
the capitalization of certain software development costs subsequent to the
establishment of technological feasibility. The Company has determined that
technological feasibility for its products is generally achieved upon completion
of a working model. Since software development costs have not been significant,
and the working model(s) are not yet completed, all such costs have been charged
to expense for the Period January 1, 1996 (inception) through December 31, 2003.



Income Taxes

Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the
financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes
related primarily to differences between the recorded book basis and tax basis
of assets and liabilities for financial and income tax reporting. The deferred
tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax return consequences of those
differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and
liabilities are recovered or settled. Deferred taxes are also recognized for
operating losses that are available to offset future taxable income and tax
credits that are available to offset future federal income taxes.

Net Loss Per Share

The Company reports its net loss per share using a dual presentation of basic
and diluted loss per share. Basic loss per share excludes the impact of common
stock equivalents, and is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted
average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted
loss per share includes the dilutive effect from the potential exercise or
conversion of convertible debt. For the years ended December 31, 2003, and 2002
the impact of convertible debt was not considered as their effect on Net Loss
Per Share would be anti-dilutive.


Fair Value of Financial Instruments


Cash, advances, prepaid expenses, notes payable, accounts payable, and accrued
expenses are reflected in the accompanying financial statements at fair value
due to the short-term nature of those instruments. The carrying amount of long
term debt obligations approximate fair value at the balance sheet date.


Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation 46R (FIN 46R), a revision to
Interpretation 46 (FIN 46), "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities". FIN
46R clarifies some of the provisions of FIN 46 and exempts certain entities from
its requirements. FIN 46R is effective at the end of the first interim period
ending after March 15, 2004. Entities that have adopted FIN 46 prior to this
effective date can continue to apply the provisions of FIN 46 until the
effective date of FIN 46R.

In December 2003, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No.
132 ("SFAS 132"), "Employers' Disclosure about Pensions and Other Postretirement
Benefits - an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, and 106." This statement
revises employer's disclosures about pension plans and other postretirement
benefit plans. It does not change the measurement of recognition of those plans
required by FASB Statement No. 87. The statements requires additional disclosure
to those in the original statement 132 about the assets, obligations, cash
flows, and net periodic benefit cost of defined benefit pension plans, and other
defined benefit postretirement plans. The Company does not believe the adoption
of the Statement will have a material impact on its financial statements.

In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation 46, Consolidation of Variable
Interest Entities. In general, a variable interest entity is a corporation,
partnership, trust, or any other legal structure used for business purposes that
either (a) does not have equity investors with voting rights or (b) has equity
investors that do not provide sufficient financial resources for the entity to
support its activities. Interpretation 46 requires a variable interest entity to
be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the
risk of loss from the variable interest entity's activities or is entitled to
receive a majority of the entity's residual returns or both. The consolidation
requirements of Interpretation 46 apply immediately to variable interest
entities created after January 31, 2003. The consolidation requirements apply to
older entities in the first fiscal year or interim period beginning after June
15, 2003. Certain of the disclosure requirements apply in all financial
statements issued after January 31, 2003, regardless of when the variable
interest entity was established. The Company does not believe the adoption of
the Interpretation will have a material impact on its financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements - Continued

In December 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 148 ("SFAS 148"), "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition, and
Disclosure - An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123." SFAS 148 amends Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 ("SFAS 123"), "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation," to provide alternative methods of transition for a
voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based
employee compensation. SFAS 148 amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS 123
to require prominent disclosures both in annual and interim financial statements
about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the
effect of the method used on reported results. The Company has included the
disclosures required by SFAS 148 in Note 1 - "The Company and Summary of
Significant Accounting Policies" and Note 14 - "Stockholders' Equity."

In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45 ("FIN 45") "Guarantor's
Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect
Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others." FIN 45 elaborates on the existing
disclosure requirements for most guarantees, including loan guarantees. It also
clarifies that at the time a company issues a guarantee, the company must
recognize an initial liability for the fair value, or market value, of the
obligations it assumes under that guarantee. However, the provisions related to
recognizing a liability at inception of the guarantee for the fair value of the
guarantor's obligations does not apply to product warranties or to guarantees
accounted for as derivatives.

The initial recognition and initial measurement provisions apply on a
prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The
disclosure requirements of FIN 45 are effective for financial statements of
interim or annual periods ending after December 15, 2002. The Company does not
expect the adoption of this interpretation will have a material impact on
operations or financial position.

Stock Based Compensation

The Company measures compensation expense for its stock-based employee
compensation plans using the intrinsic value method. If the fair value based
method had been applied in measuring stock compensation expense, the pro forma
effect on net income (loss) per share would have been as follows:

NOTE 4 - ACQUISITION

The Company's current business is a continuation of the business formerly
conducted by Vertica Software, Inc., a California corporation ("Vertica
California"). On December 31, 1998, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding
capital stock of Vertica California in a "reverse merger acquisition." The
purchase price was solely comprised of the issuance of 9,200,000 shares of the
Company's common stock, par value $ .0001, to the shareholders of Vertica
California in exchange for all 4,930,000 shares of Vertica California's common
stock, no par value. The Company was the surviving corporation in the merger and
the separate corporate existence of Vertica California ceased. Concurrently with
the merger, the Company changed its name from Perfection Development Corporation
to Vertica Software, Inc. The merger constituted a tax-free reorganization. The
acquisition of Vertica California was accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting, and due to the lack of significant prior Company operations, was
substantially recorded as a "recapitalization."

Diluted net loss per share for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002, 2001,
2000 have not been included since their effect is anti-dilutive.

The weighted average fair value of options where the exercise price was greater
than the market price on grant date was $0.165, $0.25, and $0.00 for grants in
the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The weighted
average exercise price of options where the exercise price was greater than the
market price on grant date was $0.165, $0.00, and $0.3113 for grants in the
years ended December 31, 2002, 2001, and 2000 respectively.

Because additional stock options are expected to be granted each year, the pro
forma disclosures are not representative of pro forma effects on reported
financial results for future years. The fair value of the option grants is
determined by the actual option price as set forth in the Equity Incentive Plan.
