NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2001

(1) DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Magnitude Information Systems, Inc. (the "Company" or "Magnitude") was incorporated as a Delaware corporation on April 19, 1988 under the name Fortunistics Inc.  On March 4, 1993, the Company changed its name to Whitestone Industries, Inc.  On July 14, 1997, the Company changed its name to Proformix Systems, Inc., and on November 18, 1998, the Company changed its name to Magnitude Information Systems, Inc. 

Our primary product is an integrated suite of proprietary software modules marketed under the name ErgoManagerÔ which are designed to help individual computer users and businesses increase productivity and reduce the risk of potentially preventable repetitive stress injury (RSI). These software modules can be applied individually or together in a comprehensive ergonomic and early intervention program that seeks to modify a user's behavior by monitoring computer usage patterns over time and warning the user when to break a dangerous trend in repetitive usage of an input device, such as a keyboard or mouse. The product was developed to train people working on computers, monitor computer-use related activities and evaluate a user's risk exposure and propensity towards injury or loss of effectiveness in connection with his/her day-to-day work.  Moreover, the software enables a company to not only address the issue of health risks involving employees and to minimize resulting potential liabilities, but delivers a powerful tool to increase overall productivity.

(2) BACKGROUND

	On June 24, 1997, the Company, extended a stock exchange offer to the shareholders of Proformix, Inc., a Delaware corporation and manufacturer of ergonomic keyboarding systems. Proformix, Inc. in November 1998 changed its name to Magnitude, Inc. and is now referred to as Magnitude, Inc. At the time of this submission, holders of 99.4% of Magnitude, Inc. common stock have tendered their shares. The business combination which took the form of a reverse acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase.  As a result, the Company and Magnitude, Inc. remain as two separate legal entities whereby Magnitude, Inc. operates as a subsidiary of Magnitude Information Systems, Inc..  The operations of the newly combined entity are currently comprised solely of the operations of Magnitude, Inc.

	On February 2, 1998, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Rolina Corporation, a privately held New Jersey software developing firm, and on April 30, 1998, into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Vanity Software Publishing Co., a Canadian developer of specialized software, whereby the Company, in return for payments in form of cash and equity, acquired the rights to certain software products and related assets, with such software products subsequently forming the basis for the further development, during the year, of the Company's proprietary ErgoManagerÔ software system.

	On November 18, 1998, the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary Magnitude, Inc. entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement and several related agreements with 1320236 Ontario Inc. ("OS"), a publicly traded Canadian designer, manufacturer and distributor of office furniture based in Holland Landing, Ontario, Canada, pursuant to which OS acquired Magnitude, Inc.'s hardware product line comprised of the Company's ergonomic keyboard platform products and accessories, all related inventory and production tooling and warehousing assets, and all intellectual property rights including the Proformix name, against a cash consideration and certain royalty payments on OS sales of the Proformix hardware products.

(3) NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION OF INDUSTRY AND MARKET

Magnitude Information Systems, Inc. is a pioneer in the Ergonomic Productivity Software****(EPS) market. With ErgoManagerÔ, an interactive suite of WindowsÔ software products, Magnitude has developed and delivered the first integrated systems approach to computer ergonomics.  Our patented proprietary software products provide business and government employers with a complete system for the evaluation and management of ergonomic and productivity risk factors with respect to the use of computers in the office environment.  ErgoManagerÔ is designed to help employers****minimize preventable Repetitive Stress Injuries ("RSI") and enhance productivity through:

-- Real-time monitoring of keyboarding activities to ensure proper posture and work pacing.

-- Pro-active dialogue with at-risk employees, including surveys and training in the best practices for

    wellness and productivity.

-- Strategic profiling and the management of computer use throughout an organization to employ best

    practices and to measure health, safety, and performance results.

-- Computer workstation assessment tools.

We have received a patent from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office on our application relative to certain core inventions within its ErgoManagerÔ system and we have applied for several more patents for our products. 

As the utilization of computers in the office has increased significantly in the last decade, so has the rate of health problems believed to be related to the use of computers.  Computer ergonomics focus on optimizing the design of technology involved in the utilization of computers in the office, and also attempts to affect the manner in which people interact with computers, so as to minimize the associated health risks.  A successful technology delivery system positively impacts the cost of doing business by improving the comfort, productivity, job satisfaction and safety of the computer user, while reducing the costs of absenteeism and work related disability.

Repetitive stress injury (RSI) is a classification of diseases caused by the excessive use of joints.  It is a sub-classification of Cumulative Trauma Disorders (CTDs).  RSI accounts for a large portion of work-related illnesses, and the incidence of RSI is expected to grow as the number of people operating keyboards increases.  The impact of RSI is measured not only in the pain and suffering of its victims, but also in time lost from work and medical costs. The Company's software products are designed to help businesses deal with potentially preventable repetitive stress injuries, by real-time monitoring of keyboarding activities, pro-active dialog with at-risk employees, and strategic profiling and management of computer use throughout an organization.

A new study released in January 2001 by the National Academy of Sciences, originally commissioned by Congress and produced by the National Research Council, finds that work-related back, hand and wrist injuries affect about 1 million U.S. workers every year.  The total cost of the resultant disorders is between $45 billion and $54 billion in compensation, lost wages and lower productivity. Increased awareness of the health risks and associated costs led the State of California several years ago implemented an ergonomic regulation which directs qualifying employers to establish and maintain a program designed to minimize RSI's. Such program shall include work-site evaluation, control of the exposures that have caused RSI's, and training of employees.  State agencies and employers in California face fines of up to $25,000 per incident for violating these regulations. The State of Washington adopted similar regulations in 2000, and other states have indicated a willingness to follow suit. The Company believes that the growing recognition of these trends will give rise to a rapidly expanding market for the Company's products.

(4) GOING CONCERN

The ability of the Company to continue its operations is dependent on increasing sales and obtaining additional capital and financing. In their report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000, our auditors had expressed an opinion that, as a result of the losses incurred and the relative lack of working capital, there was substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern.  The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company were unable to continue as a going concern. During the last year and the first two quarters in 2001 the Company has relied on the private placement of its common and preferred stock to fund its operations. Management's plans are to continue seeking additional working capital through equity and debt placements with private and institutional investors.  

 

(5) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of  Magnitude Information Systems, Inc. and its subsidiary Magnitude, Inc. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Inventories

Inventory consists of finished goods that are stated at the lower of cost (determined by the first-in, first out method) or market.

Depreciation and Amortization

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost.  Depreciation on equipment, furniture and fixtures and leasehold improvements is computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of such assets between 3-10 years.  Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.  Software assets are amortized on the straight-line method over 10 years.

Securities Issued for Services

The Company accounts for stock, stock options and stock warrants issued for services and compensation by employees under the intrinsic value method. For non-employees, the fair market value of the Company's stock on the date of stock issuance or option grant is used.  Effective January 1, 1996, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-based Compensation".  The statement generally suggests, but does not require, employee stock-based compensation transactions be accounted for based on the fair value of the services rendered or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.  As permitted by the statement, the Company has elected to continue to follow the requirements of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, for employees under the intrinsic value method.  The adoption of SFAS No. 123 does not have a material impact on the financial statements.

Income Taxes

The Company provides for income taxes based on enacted tax law and statutory tax rates at which items of income and expenses are expected to be settled in the Company's income tax return.  Certain items of revenue and expense are reported for Federal income tax purposes in different periods than for financial reporting purposes, thereby resulting in deferred income taxes.  Deferred taxes are also recognized for operating losses that are available to offset future taxable income.  Valuation allowances are established

MAGNITUDE INFORMATION SYSTEMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2001

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued

when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.  The Company has incurred net operating losses for financial-reporting and tax-reporting purposes.  Accordingly, for Federal income tax purposes, the benefit for income taxes has been offset entirely by a valuation allowance against the related federal deferred tax asset for the year ended December 31, 2000.  For state income tax purposes, a partial valuation allowance has been offset against the related state deferred tax asset for the year ended December 31, 2000.

Net Loss Per Share

Net loss per share, in accordance with the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period.  Common Stock equivalents have not been included in this computation since the effect would be anti-dilutive.

Revenue Recognition

The Company's revenue recognition policy for software sales is in accordance with Accounting Statement of Position 97-2.  Revenue is recognized at the time of licensing provided that the resulting receivable position is deemed probable of collection and is fixed or determinable. Revenue from software maintenance contracts is recognized ratably as earned.  **Where a sales contract includes multiple elements, revenues are allocated to the various elements based on Company-specific objective evidence of fair value, regardless of any separate prices for each element that may be stated within the contract.**
Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.
**(6) RESTATEMENT OF RESULTS

The Company has restated its financial statements for the three and six months periods ended June 30, 2001. The restated financial results reflect the correction of an error in its accounting procedures related to revenue recognition, the nature of which is recording of a contract with extended payment terms as revenue. The impact of this adjustment of the Company's financial results as originally reported is summarized below:

			      Quarter ended June 30, 2001	6 Months Ended June 30,2001

	As Reported	As Restated	As Reported	As Restated
Retained earnings (deficit)			$(16,722,889)	$(16,942,323)

		Revenue	$   290,411	$    56,036	492,933	258,558

		Net (loss)	(737,084)	(956,518)	(1,577,142)	(1,796,576)

		Income (loss) per share	(0.04)	(0.05)	(0.09)	(0.10)

(7) DEFERRED TAX ASSET 

During 2000, the Company had filed an application with the New Jersey Economic Development Authority who administers the current New Jersey Tax Certification program pursuant to the New Jersey Emerging Technology and Biotechnology Financial Assistance Act to qualify for and be the beneficiary of this program which will permit a participant to liquidate its State NOL tax benefits against cash considerations.  The Company has been accepted under this program and has been issued tax transfer certificates which will, upon liquidation, result in a cash benefit in the amount stated.

MAGNITUDE INFORMATION SYSTEMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2001

(8) PREPAID EXPENSES

Prepaid expenses include a position of $210,789 resulting from an agreement in February 1998 with BNN Business News Network Inc., a nationwide media advertising and radio network company, whereby the Company purchased advertising time to be utilized on stations associated with Business News Network Inc., usable over a period of three years, since then extended, and aggregating $900,000 in retail value, against issuance of 150,000 new and restricted common shares.  The services purchased were capitalized at the then fair market value of the stock issued, for a total of $375,000.  The resulting asset is being amortized as utilized. Management believes that the Company will derive economic benefits commensurate with the remaining value of this asset.  If management were to determine that it may not be able to economically utilize the entire amount during the time allotted, it will effect an accelerated amortization or write-down of this asset position.

(9) RECEIVABLES DUE AFTER 12 MONTHS

One major contract, entered into during the second quarter, provided for a deferred payment schedule of which portions amounting to $87,500 are due and payable in installments during the months July through December 2002.

Lease Agreements

On March 15, 2000, the Company entered into a lease agreement for office space which is utilized for the Company's principal offices.  Such lease commenced April 15, 2000 and expires on March 31, 2005 and requires monthly payments of $6,500 from April 15, 2000 through March 31, 2002; of $6,695 thereafter through March 31, 2003; of $6,896 thereafter through March 31, 2004; and of $7,103 thereafter through March 31, 2005.

 

(16) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

On March 31, 2000, the Company and its President and Chief Executive Officer agreed to convert a current liability payable to him in the amount of $374,890 into a Company obligation, of which $100,000 was subsequently classified as due on demand with the remaining balance of $274,890 maturing July 1, 2002. The obligation among others provides for a right to the holder to convert such obligation into common stock of the Company (see "Long-term debt").  

During the first two quarters in 2001, several officers and directors of the Company extended cash advances to the Company that totaled $272,500 at June 30, 2001, and which accrue interest at the rate of 7% per year.  These advances are repayable upon demand (see "Subsequent Events" below).

 

(17) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

During July 2001, a director of the Company converted demand loan cash advances totaling $130,000 into common stock and warrants for the purchase of common stock of the Company, commensurate with terms currently offered to independent private investors.  In July 2002, the board of directors of the Company authorized the grant of a stock option for the purchase of 2.5 million common shares to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, exercisable over ten years at a price of $0.50 per share.  The option has a cash-less exercise feature.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 
**Results of Operations:**
	After receiving - during the first quarter in 2001,  a major software contract from a Fortune 100 large industrial business concern, Magnitude during the second quarter signed major distribution and licensing agreements with two distributors in Florida and in Europe, valued at $409,000.  Recognition of revenues for the Florida agreement has been deferred until 2002 because payment of a significant portion of the software licensing fee is not due until after more than twelve month from June 2001.   The Company also deferred revenue recognition on the other transaction (see "Deferred Revenues" in Notes to Financial Statements). These contracts re-affirmed the Company's ErgoManagerÔ software product as the premier software solution for improving the quantity and quality of computer data input work through application of ergonomic principles.  Several pilot studies have shown a statistically significant improvement in work accuracy following implementation of the software. Pilot project installations are designed to impart credibility and awareness of the product's unique potential in the areas of productivity enhancement and risk reduction with respect to repetitive stress injuries in the office environment. Pilot projects involving smaller numbers of employees also provide a potential client with an opportunity to test the software's utility and reliability, systems and network friendliness, and staff acceptance without incurring the perceived and sometimes real risk associated with installing a new product on an enterprise-wide scale.  Management assigns great importance to this purchase and expects other current pilot installations to mature into enterprise-wide contracts in the upcoming quarters.

Revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2001, amounted to $56,036 compared to $247,981 for the same period in 2000 and $202,522 for the first quarter, all such revenues generated by the Company's wholly owned subsidiary Magnitude, Inc. from the licensing of the Company's proprietary ErgoManagerÔ software and related maintenance and support services. During the quarter the Company had entered into an exclusive regional distribution agreement that provided for the purchase of software licenses totaling $234,375.  The terms of the resultant purchase contract furthermore provide for extended payment terms so that the Company will realize cash receipts only in installments through 2002.  Commensurate with applicable accounting guidelines recognition of revenue has been deferred until 2002 when payments become due. Revenues for the six months period ended June 30, 2001, totaled $ 258,558 compared to $348,003 in the first half of 2000. Gross profits during the quarter totaled $13,825 for a 25% gross margin.  The gross profits are burdened with a fixed charge for amortization of software investments. Software assets underlying the Company's products are being amortized on a straight line over 10 years, resulting in a level charge of approximately $13,000 per month to cost-of-goods-sold.  Since variable product costs are low, the gross margin is expected to further increase as revenues grow. After deducting selling expenses and general and administrative expenses totaling $951,375 the Company realized an operating loss of $937,550, compared to an operating loss of $784,565 for the second quarter in 2000.  Non-operating expenses totaled $18,968 primarily in form of interest expense.  The net result for the quarter, after accounting for dividends paid and accrued on the Company's outstanding preferred stock, was a loss of $1,009,798 or $0.05 per share, compared to a loss of $859,117 or $0.06 per share for the same period last year.  The six month result was a loss of $1,927,783 in 2001, and a loss of $1,659,375 in 2000.

	Operating expenses continue to be high relative to revenues. In management's opinion, however, they represent close to a practical minimum necessary to maintain the Company's presence on the marketplace.  Moderate savings vis-à-vis prior quarters were achieved in selling expenses where the quarterly total decreased from $378,259 in 2000 and $421,482 in the first quarter of this year, to $313,185 for the reporting period. A reduction in certain non-critical marketing programs was the primary reason for these decreases.  Some of these savings, however, were offset by  a small rise in general and administrative expenses, at the rate of 5%, over the comparable periods last year.     

 

The increase in bookings during the second quarter, as mentioned above, is entirely founded in reseller agreements which constitute a new distribution channel for the Company's products.  This channel is expected to grow into a major revenue and profit contributor during the next twelve months, and management is presently in negotiations with several other primarily overseas  distributors to expand in this area. Success if measured in terms of current revenues, in the core B2B business segment that focuses on domestic medium and large companies with the goal of installing enterprise-wide solutions has not been apparent in the second quarter.  Sales cycles for such larger contacts are long and somewhat unpredictable, and the conclusion of any major contract will significantly impact any given quarter's results.  Management is confident that its current sales approach remains valid and will result in tangible revenue improvements during the upcoming quarters.  

As a result of the slower than initially forecasted growth in the B2B sector, the quarter concluded with a significant loss that cut further into the Company's financial resources.  A partial replenishment of these resources came in the form of new working capital provided by private investors, however, the amounts obtained were not sufficient to entirely offset the negative cash-flow from operations, and came at the cost of occupying a growing part of management's time and efforts. Since revenues from the licensing of software do not yet cover operating expenses, and are not expected to do so in the immediate future, the Company will continue to depend on new capital infusions to be able to operate and pursue its marketing goals. 

 
**Liquidity and Capital Resources**
	The cash outflow from losses during the second quarter could be partially compensated by new equity investments through equity subscriptions by accredited investors who purchased the Company's common and preferred stock in a series of private placements. Such transactions contributed approximately $375,000 in cash.  The remaining shortfall was partially covered by short-term cash advances from related parties, in the aggregate amount of $230,000. These receipts were not sufficient to stem a further erosion of working capital which declined from negative $370,000 at March 31, 2001, to negative $1,048,258 at June 30, 2001.

	In June, 2001, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Rodman & Renshaw for the purpose of introducing the Company to institutional lenders and investors. In addition management is presently in discussion with several private lenders and investors with the goal of securing a larger infusion of equity or debt capital. The outcome of these discussions and the timing for any resulting capital inflows can not, however, be predicted with certainty at this time, and there can be no assurance that the necessary capital for an orderly continuation of the Company's business and redemption of liabilities will be obtained in a timely fashion. Should the Company be unable to successfully complete such financing transactions we may have to severely curtail operations.

	At the time of this submission, the Company had no bank debt. At June 30, 2001, its short-term liabilities, aside from trade payables and accruals, consisted of certain notes and loans aggregating approximately $500,000 of which $372,500 are owed to certain officers and directors of the Company in form of demand notes (see "Related Party Transactions"). All of the long-term debt of approximately $275,000 was owed to the chairman and chief executive officer and evidenced by a promissory note maturing in 2002. Owing to present liquidity constraints, the Company is currently in arrears with approximately $80,000 in accrued unpaid dividends.
