PART I



ITEM 1.  DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.



INTRODUCTION



OCTuS, Inc. (the "Company" or "OCTuS") was incorporated in October 1983 under the laws of the State of California. In December 1991, in connection with its shift in focus from the laser printer to the computer-telephone integration market, the Company's name was changed from Office Automation Systems, Inc. to OCTuS, Inc. In January 1993, the Company completed an initial public offering of 100,000 units each consisting of one share of Common Stock and one Warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock. The Company's Common Stock (OCTS), Warrants (OCTSW) and Units (OCTSU) has traded on the OTC Bulletin Board until February of 2000 when it started trading on pink sheets.



The core of the Company's technology from its inception until 1991 was comprised of software for use in controllers for laser printers and related imaging devices. The Company incorporated this technology into its own LaserPro(R) laser printer products and also licensed the technology to third parties. In 1991, because of low margins and competition, the Company shifted its primary focus from laser printer controller technology to the development of the OCTuS PTA product line.



As of this date, the Company is actively seeking such alternative business opportunities, which may include acquisition of other software products, or acquisition of some other technology. Although the Company is seeking such opportunities, it is unlikely that the Company will be able to consummate any such transaction, which would generate sufficient revenues to sustain the Company's operations.  Additional capital will likely have to come from issuing additional equity interest, which cannot happen without dramatically diluting the existing equity ownership of the Company's Common stockholders.



EMPLOYEES



The Company did not add to its workforce during the year ended December 31, 2002; the Company's President, John C. Belden, who is based at the Company's San Diego, California headquarters, is retained on a consulting basis through December 31, 2003.





ITEM 1a.  FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS.



HISTORY OF OPERATING LOSSES



For the calendar year ended December 31, 2002, the Company recorded a net loss of $69,334. For the calendar year ended December 31, 2001, the Company recorded a net loss of $115,066.







NEED FOR ADDITIONAL CAPITAL



The Company's cash on hand as of December 31, 2002 was $203, which is inadequate to meet the Company's budgeted operating requirements. Additional cash resources are required to sustain the Company's operations. Since September 2000 operations have been funded by loans from Grupo Dynastia S.A, a Panamanian company, one of the Company's principal shareholders. It should be noted that the Company has no commitment from any party to provide additional capital and there is no assurance that such funding will be available when needed or, if available, that its terms will be favorable or acceptable to the Company. Should the Company be unable to obtain additional capital when and as needed, it could be forced to cease business activities altogether. It is unlikely that the Company will be able to raise additional capital without dramatically diluting the existing equity ownership of the Company's Common stockholders.



-  2 -

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

RESTRUCTURING OF OPERATIONS



The Company has undergone substantial restructuring in recent years, primarily as a result of continued operating losses. This restructuring included a substantial reduction in the Company's workforce to one employee as well as relocation of its headquarters to another facility with lower operating costs.  Mr. Belden is the sole executive officer of the Company.  Mr. Ronald A. Newcomb joined the Board of Directors in December 1998 and served as Chairman of the Board until December 29, 2001 at which time he did not stand for re-election and was replaced on the Board of Directors by Bradley W. Nemeth. Mr. Belden was appointed to serve as Chairman and President.



Although this restructuring effected a major reduction in the Company's operating expenses, the Company's cash on hand continues to be insufficient to meet its present operating expenses. Without a substantial infusion of capital or generation of revenue, the Company will be required to cease its business operations altogether.



TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES



The Company has been a party to certain transactions with related persons and affiliates. The Company believes that all such transactions were in its best interests and on terms no less favorable to the Company than could have been obtained from unaffiliated third parties and each transaction was approved by disinterested and independent members of the Board of Directors. However, such agreements were not always reached as the result of arms-length negotiations. In June 1996, the Company sold to Advanced Technologies International, Ltd. ("ATI") 250,000 shares of Series C Preferred stock (which votes with the Common Stock with each share of Series C Preferred Stock having ten votes) for $151,000, and issued warrants to purchase up to an additional 150,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at an exercise price according to the following schedule: $8.60 per share for the first 50,000 shares, $10.00 per share for the second 50,000 shares, and $15.00 per share for the final 50,000 shares.



The Company had been meeting its liquidity needs through loans from ATI until August 1998 when ATI ceased funding the Company and subsequently declared bankruptcy.  The loan balance as of December 31, 2002 was $ 29,789. The Company accrues 10.0% simple interest on such loans. Smith Technology Development, LLC during 1999 through a bankruptcy purchase agreement, acquired the note, stock and warrants. Subsequently, during 2000, the note, stock and warrants were transferred in a sale Grupo Dynastia S. A., a Panamanian company. There is no assurance that Grupo Dynastia S. A. or subsequent owners of the notes and warrants will continue to fund the Company or that exercise of the warrants will enable the Company to repay such loans. Should the Company be unable to obtain additional revenues, and/or raise additional capital, it could be forced to cease business activities altogether.  On April 25, 2001, the affiliate negotiated a lower exercise price of $0.40 per share, and 150,000 options were exercised in lieu of a note payable and accrued interest totaling $60,000.



NOTES AND ADVANCES PAYABLE



From September 2000 through December 2000, Grupo Dynastia S. A. advanced $32,168 to the company secured by notes bearing interest at the rate of 10% per annum.  From January 2001 through March 2001, Grupo Dynastia S.A advanced another $25,000 to the Company secured by notes bearing interest at the rate of 10% per annum. On April 25, 2001, Grupo Dynastia, S.A. converted 150,000 warrants to 150,000 shares of OCTuS, Inc. restricted common stock in exchange for reducing the outstanding notes due Grupo Dynastia, S.A. by $60,000.  Should the Company be unable to obtain additional revenues, and/or raise additional capital, it could be forced to cease business activities altogether. From September 2000 through December 2000, Grupo Dynastia S. A. advanced $32,168 to the Company secured by notes bearing interest at the rate of 10% per annum.  From January 2001 through December 2001, Grupo Dynastia S.A advanced another $34,500 to the Company secured by notes bearing interest at the rate of 10% per annum. From January 2002 through December 2002, Grupo Dynastia S.A. advanced$29,789 to the Company secured by notes bearing interest at the rate of 10% per annum.  See Item 3.



TRADING MARKET/DELISTING FROM NASDAQ SMALLCAP MARKET/VOLATILITY OF STOCK PRICE



In January 1993, the Company completed an initial public offering of 100,000 Units, each unit comprised of one share of Common Stock and one Common Stock Purchase Warrant. These securities were quoted on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market until February 1, 1995, at which time they were delisted due to the Company's inability to meet that market's minimum capital and surplus requirements. The securities now trade on the Over-The -Counter Bulletin Board, maintained by the National Quotation Bureau, Inc., which are generally considered to be less efficient markets. While the Company intends to reapply for listing on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market if conditions are favorable for it to do so, there can be no assurance that the Company's securities will be accepted by the Nasdaq SmallCap Market upon application by the Company for relisting.



-  3 -

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The market price of the Common Stock, Units, and Warrants, like that of the securities of many other high technology companies, has been highly volatile. Factors such as fluctuation in the Company's operating results, announcements of technological innovations or new products by the Company or its competitors, developments in the Company's strategic alliances with other companies, and general market conditions may have a significant effect on the market price of the Common Stock. See table in Part II, Item 5, "Market for Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters."



EFFECT OF CERTAIN ANTI-TAKEOVER CHARTER AND BYLAW PROVISIONS



Certain provisions of the Company's Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation (the "Articles") and Bylaws could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or could discourage a third party from attempting to acquire, control of the Company. Such provisions may limit or reduce the price that investors might be willing to pay for shares of the Common Stock. Certain of such provisions allow the Company to issue preferred stock with rights senior to those of the Common Stock and impose various procedural and other requirements that could make it more difficult for shareholders to effect certain corporate actions. The Articles also provide for a classified board in the event the Company's shares are traded on a national securities exchange or the Nasdaq National Market. A classified board could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire control, or could discourage a third party from attempting to acquire, control of the board.





ITEM 2.  DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY.



Since November 1999 the company used only floor space in the office of its sole officer, John Belden at 600"B" Street 18th Floor San Diego, CA. Since July 1, 2001, the company's offices are located in Mr. Belden's office at 13161 Sundance Avenue, San Diego, CA 92129.  The Company pays no rent, which would be negligible, for the use of this space.



The Company does not maintain any other leases for office space and owns no real property.





ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.



On February 15, 2002 the majority shareholder filed a complaint alleging that the Company was in default on two promissory notes totaling $426,511 and accrued interest in the amount of $184,214. The Company settled the complaint in June 2002.



Under the terms of the settlement agreement, the Company was required to issue one unrestricted share of its common stock in settlement of each $0.10 of the Plaintiff's respective debts. This resulted in a total of 6,107,250 shares being issued to the Plaintiff. The shares were issued at their fair market value of $0.03 per share resulting in an increase in common stock of $183,217. The difference between the fair market value of the shares issued and the amount of the recorded liabilities has been recorded as a capital contribution of $427,508. Accrued interest for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 on these notes of $10,517 was also recorded as a capital contribution.



ITEM 4.  SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.



Security holders at the shareholders'meeting held in San Diego, CA on December 29, 2001 approved the following matters:



|1. | Election of the following directors for the ensuing year to serve until the next Annual Meeting of Shareholders and until their successors have been elected and qualified.

ITEM 6.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.



This information should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto which begin on page F-1 of this report for the years ended December 31,  2001and 2002, respectively.



OVERVIEW



OCTuS was incorporated in 1983 to develop a low cost controller for laser printers. By the end of 1985, the Company had developed a laser printer controller with a proprietary page description language, which it incorporated into laser printers and marketed under the LaserPro(R) trademark. The Company was also licensing its laser printer controller technology. This strategy produced increasing sales and profits until mid-1989 when profits began to decline primarily as a result of low margins and other competitive reasons caused by the high cost of the necessary component parts in relation to the competitive market price and the dominant market position of larger high-volume competitors. Although there is no assurance, the Company does not expect the foregoing factors to significantly affect the OCTuS PTA line of products because software products do not rely so heavily on component parts supplied by other manufacturers. While royalties from printer licensing agreements provided working capital, the Company began to suffer operating losses in 1989, which have continued through the present.



In early 1991, the Company began shifting its emphasis from laser printer controller products to the development of its new product line. Since 1991, the Company has made significant changes to its business, management and operations. However, until September 1993, substantially all of the Company's revenues were derived from business activities involving the Company's laser printer technology and technology licensing agreements. In September 1993, the Company sold substantially all of the assets and inventory of the laser printer business to National Computer Systems, Inc. ("NCS"). Since that time, the Company has not generated significant revenues from sales of its OCTuS PTA product due to poor product sales and lack of broad market acceptance. As a result, in 1994, the Company was required to significantly downsize its staff and reduce its operating expenses, which continued into 1995. See Part I, "Description of Business," "--Employees," and "--Factors Which May Affect Future Results," "---Restructuring of Operations."



In March 1995, the Company engaged a third-party distributor, Cintech Tele-Management Systems, Inc. ("Cintech") to exclusively manufacture, distribute and sell the retail version of OCTuS PTA in North America. Since that time, the Company has focused its efforts on the licensing of its OCTuS PTA technology to third parties for incorporation by such parties into their own respective product lines. Although several companies have expressed interest in licensing the Company's technology, no significant licensing arrangements have been entered into to date, nor can there be any assurance that the revenue from any such licensing agreements will be sufficient to sustain the Company's operations. In such case, the Company will be required to curtail business altogether. In March of 1997, Cintech elect not to renew its agreement with the Company, thereby leaving the Company with no current means of distribution of its products. See Part I, "Description of Business," "--OCTuS PTA",



The discussion and analysis set forth below covers the following comparative periods: the calendar years ended December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001



RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2002 AND  2001



ROYALTY AND TECHNOLOGY INCOME.  There was no royalty income for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2002, which represented no change from the same period in 2001.



INTEREST INCOME. There was no interest income for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2002, which represented no change from the same period in 2001.



SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and administrative expenses for calendar year 2002 decreased $13,781 from $ 69,690 in the fiscal year ending December 31, 2001 to  $55,909 in the fiscal year ending December 31, 2002.  The decrease resulted from reduced accounting fees and shareholder meeting expenses.



RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. There were no research and development expenses for the fiscal years ending December 31, 2002 and 2001.



NET LOSS/GAIN. The Company experienced a net loss of $ 69,334for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002. This reflects  a decreased loss of $45,732 from the loss of  $ 115,066 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001.



-  6 -

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

LIMITATIONS ON NET OPERATING LOSS AND CREDIT CARRYFORWARDS



As of December 31, 2002 the Company had significant tax credit and research carry forwards for federal tax reporting purposes that expire through 2008. Additionally, the Company has federal and state net operating loss carry forwards, expiring through 2015. Because of a substantial change in the Company's ownership resulting from an initial public offering, an annual limitation of approximately $600,000 has been placed on utilization of the loss carry forwards generated prior to the Company's initial public offering.



LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES



For the year ended December 31, 2002 the Company incurred a net loss of $69,334 . Cash on hand as of December 31, 2002 was $203. Management believes that without an influx of significant new funds, the Company will not be able to sustain its operations through the rest of 2003. Although the Company has actively been pursuing new investment, there can be no assurance that the Company will enter into any new investment, or that the terms of any such agreements will be on terms favorable to the Company.  There is no assurance that Grupo Dynastia S.A., or subsequent controlling owners, will continue to fund the Company.  Should the Company be unable to obtain additional revenues, which is likely, and/or raise additional capital, it could be forced to cease business activities altogether.  See Part I, Description of Business, "OCTuS PTA," "Strategic Alliances and Market Reception," and "General Distribution Strategy."





ITEM 7.  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.



The full text of the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002 begins on page F-1 of this Report.





ITEM 8.  ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.



In February 2001, the Company changed accountants and filed a Form 8-K for this event in February 2001. There were no disagreements with the former accountants regarding accounting principles or reporting.

ITEM 9.  DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, PROMOTERS AND CONTROL PERSONS;



COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(a) OF THE EXCHANGE ACT.





Item 10.  Executive Compensation

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS





Shareholders and Board of Directors

OCTuS, Inc.



We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of OCTuS, Inc. as of December 31, 2002, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' (deficit), and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001.  These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.



We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated 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 by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.



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



The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has working capital and stockholders' deficits.  These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.  Management's plans in regard to these matters are also discussed in Note 2.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2002





Note 1 - Summary of significant accounting policies



Organization



OCTuS, Inc. (the "Company") was formed as a California corporation in 1983.  The Company was involved in the development of various printer controller technologies.  However, the Company currently has no revenue generating operations and is currently seeking strategic alternatives.



Basis of consolidation



The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries.  Significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated.



Use of 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 and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.



Cash and cash equivalents



For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, all highly liquid investments with the maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents.



Revenue recognition



Revenue is recognized when earned.

Fair value of financial instruments



Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of December 31, 2002.  The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values.  These financial instruments include cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses and notes payable.  Fair values were assumed to approximate carrying values because these financial instruments are short term, their carrying amounts approximate fair values, or they are payable on demand.



Earnings (loss) per share



The Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") 128, "Earnings Per Share."  Basic earning (loss) per common share ("EPS") calculations are determined by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year.  Diluted earnings per common share calculations are determined by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding.  During the periods presented common stock equivalents were not considered as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

Stock-based compensation



The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to employees for services based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued and accounts for equity instruments issued to other than employees based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments, whichever is more reliably measurable.



The Company accounts for stock based compensation in accordance with SFAS 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." The provisions of SFAS 123 allow companies to either expense the estimated fair value of stock options or to continue to follow the intrinsic value method set forth in Accounting Principles Board Opinion 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB 25") but disclose the pro forma effects on net income (loss) had the fair value of the options been expensed. The Company has elected to continue to apply APB 25 in accounting for its stock option incentive plans.



Segment information



The Company follows SFAS 131, "Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information".  Certain information is disclosed, per SFAS 131, based on the way management organizes financial information for making operating decisions and assessing performance.  The Company currently operates in one business segment and will evaluate additional segment disclosure requirements as it expands operations.



Recent Pronouncements



In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS 148 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation--Transition and Disclosure--an amendment of SFAS 123." SFAS 148 provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation from the intrinsic value-based method of accounting prescribed by APB 25. As allowed by SFAS 123, the Company has elected to continue to apply the intrinsic value-based method of accounting, and has adopted the disclosure requirements of SFAS 123. The Company currently does not anticipate adopting the provisions of SFAS 148.



In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities." SFAS 146 provides new guidance on the recognition of costs associated with exit or disposal activities. The standard requires companies to recognize costs associated with exit or disposal activities when they are incurred rather than at the date of commitment to an exit or disposal plan. SFAS 146 supercedes previous accounting guidance provided by the EITF Issue No. 94-3 "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." EITF Issue No. 94-3 required recognition of costs at the date of commitment to an exit or disposal plan. SFAS 146 is to be applied prospectively to exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. Early application is permitted. The adoption of SFAS 146 by the Company is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.



In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections." Among other things, this statement rescinds FASB Statement No. 4, "Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt" which required all gains and losses from extinguishments of debt to be aggregated and, if material, classified as an extraordinary item, net of related income tax effect. As a result, the criteria in 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," will now be used to classify those gains and losses. The provisions of SFAS 145 related to the classification of debt extinguishments are effective for years beginning after May 15, 2002. The adoption of SFAS 145 by the Company is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In November 2001, the EITF of the FASB issued EITF 01-9 "Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Subscriber (Including a Reseller of the Vendor's Products)." EITF 01-9 provides guidance on when a sales incentive or other consideration given should be a reduction of revenue or an expense and the timing of such recognition. The guidance provided in EITF 01-9 is effective for financial statements for interim or annual periods beginning after December 15, 2001. The adoption of EITF 01-9 by the Company did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.



In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." SFAS 144 provides new guidance on the recognition of impairment losses on long-lived assets with definite lives to be held and used or to be disposed of and also issued the definition of what constitutes a discontinued operation and how the results of a discontinued operation are to be measured and presented. SFAS 144 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The adoption of SFAS 144 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.



In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations." SFAS 143 requires the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation to be recognized in the period that it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The associated asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset. SFAS 143 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. The adoption of SFAS 143 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.



In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," which provides for non-amortization of goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives, annual tests of impairments of those assets and interim tests of impairment when an event occurs that more likely than not has reduced the fair value of such assets. The statement also provides specific guidance about how to determine and measure goodwill impairments, and requires additional disclosure of information about goodwill and other intangible assets. The provisions of this statement are required to be applied starting with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001, and applied to all goodwill and other intangible assets recognized in the financial statements at that date. Goodwill and intangible assets acquired after June 30, 2001 will be subject to the non-amortization provisions of the statement. Early application is permitted for entities with fiscal years beginning after March 15, 2001, provided that the first interim financial statements had not been issued previously. The Company's adoption of the provisions of SFAS 142 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.



In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS 141, "Business Combinations," which is effective for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. SFAS 141 requires companies to account for all business combinations using the purchase method of accounting, recognize intangible assets if certain criteria are met, as well as provide additional disclosures regarding business combinations and allocation of purchase price. The adoption of SFAS 141 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.



Note 2 - Going concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern.  The Company has working capital and shareholders' deficits of $132,999 and an accumulated deficit of $22,983,134 as of December 31, 2002.  In addition, the Company has generated recurring losses, aggregating $78,334 and $124,066 in 2002 and 2001, respectively, and has no revenue generating operations.

OCTuS, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2002





The Company is currently seeking a viable business to merge with and, in addition, is seeking equity capital.  However, the Company has no commitment from any party to provide additional capital and there is no assurance that such funding will be available when needed, or if available, that its terms will be favorable or acceptable to the Company.  The Company is reliant on a related party to provide working capital.



The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

Note 3 - Stockholders' (deficit)

Common stock



The Board of Directors approved a 1 for 20 reverse stock split for all outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock effective February 15, 2002.  For the purposes of financial statement presentation, all share and per share information has been restated to reflect the effect of the reverse stock split.



On February 15, 2002 the majority shareholder filed a complaint alleging that the Company was in default on two promissory notes totaling $426,511 and accrued interest in the amount of $184,214.  The Company settled the complaint in June 2002.  The Company was ordered to issue one unrestricted share of its common stock in settlement of each $0.10 of the Plaintiff's respective debts.  This resulted in a total of 6,107,250 shares being issued to the Plaintiff.  The shares were issued at their fair market value of $0.03 per share, resulting in an increase in common stock of $183,217.  The difference between the fair market value of the shares issued and the amount of the recorded liabilities has been recorded as a capital contribution of $427,508.  Accrued interest for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 on these notes of $10,517 was also recorded as a capital contribution.



Preferred stock



In July 1996 the Company issued 250,000 of its Series C Preferred Stock and one five-year stock purchase warrant for 150,000 shares of its common stock for $151,000.  During the year ended December 31, 2001 these stock warrants had been fully exercised into 150,000 shares of common stock at $0.40 per share in lieu of payment of $60,000 of note payable and related interest.



The cumulative Series C Preferred Stock is senior in preference and priority with respect to the Company's Common Stock and any and all classes of the Company's Preferred Stock.  The holder of the Series C Preferred Stock is entitled to receive cumulative dividends at the annual rate of $0.036 per share payable in cash when, and if, declared by the Company's Board of Directors.  Dividends accrue on a cumulative basis on each share of Series C Preferred Stock whether or not declared or paid.  The holder of each share of Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to 10 votes per share and are entitled to vote on all matters before Common Stock shareholders.



The Company has the right to redeem all (but not less than all) preferred stock for an aggregate price of $0.63 per share plus any and all unpaid dividends.



Cumulative dividends unpaid on Series C Preferred Stock amounted to $58,685 at December 31, 2002.  The Board of Directors has not formally declared a dividend on the Preferred Stock since issuance.

Note 5 - Income taxes



The Company accounts for income taxes under SFAS 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes", which requires use of the liability method.  SFAS 109 provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes, referred to as temporary differences.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities at the end of each period are determined using the currently enacted tax rates applied to taxable income in the periods in which the deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be settled or realized.



Reconciliation of the Federal statutory income tax rate of 34% to the effective rate is as follows:





|Federal statutory income tax rate   | 34.00 %        
|----------------------------------- | ---------------
|State taxes, net of federal benefit | 4.95 %         
|Valuation allowance                 | (38.95)%       
|                                    | ---------------
|                                    | -    %         
|                                    | =========      



The tax effects of temporary differences and net operating losses that give rise to significant portions of deferred tax assets and liabilities consisted of the following:





|                                  | 2002             
|--------------------------------- | -----------------
|                                  | -----------------
|Deferred tax assets (liabilities) |                  
|Net operating loss carry forward  | $7,772,000       
|                                  |                  
|Less valuation allowance          | (7,772,000)      
|                                  | -----------------
|                                  |                  
|Net deferred tax                  | $             -  
|                                  | ==========       



At December 31, 2002, the Company has a Federal net operating loss carry forward of approximately $22,818,000, which expires through 2022 and a state net operating loss carry forward of approximately $280,000, which expires through 2007.
