ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Material Technology, Inc. ("Matech") a development stage company, successor in February, 1994, to Tensiodyne Corporation's business ("Tensiodyne"), is the owner of that certain device known as the Fatigue Fuse, which requires additional testing to more precisely identify appropriate commercial uses prior to manufacturing and marketing. Matech is also the exclusive licensee of the Electrochemical Fatigue Sensor, which requires substantial additional development. These technologies are intended to indicate the level of fatigue of certain metal structures including aircraft, bridges, cranes, ships, and other structures. No commercial application of Matech's products have been arranged to date and it will be Matech's aim to develop a market for the Fatigue Fuse once testing is completed and for the Electrochemical Fatigue Sensor once it has been fully developed.
The Fatigue Fuse is in its final stages of testing and development. To begin marketing the Fatigue Fuse, it will take from 6 to 12 months and cost approximately $2,000,000, including technical testing and final development. If testing, development, and marketing are successful, management estimates Matech should begin receiving revenue from the sale of the Fatigue Fuse within a year of receiving the $2,000,000. Management cannot at this time estimate the amount of revenue that may be realized. On the other hand, management estimates the Electronic Fatigue Sensor will require two years and approximately $2,875,000 to develop and bring to market. In August 1996, Matech entered into a teaming arrangement with Southwest Research Institute (SWRI), San Antonio, Texas (a non-profit research facility) and the University of Pennsylvania. On February 25, 1997 the team was awarded a $2.5 million Phase I contract to "determine the feasibility of the EFS to improve the United States Air Force capability to perform durability assessments of military aircraft, including both air frames and engines through the application of the EFS to specific military aircraft alloys." Matech's share of this award is approximately $550,000. Sufficient interest has been generated by the military and the Pentagon that additional military and congressional funding should be forthcoming based upon the success of Phase I.
Management anticipates marketing the Fatigue Fuse separately at first. If the Electronic Fatigue Sensor is successfully developed, the two products will complement each other. Matech is aware of several manufacturers capable of producing the Fatigue Fuse at a reasonable cost. No assurance can be given, however, that these devices will be successfully completed, that they can be commercially produced, that they will perform to Management's expectations, or that commercial markets will be successfully developed. Moreover, there may be significant competition for the fatigue Fuse if and when it is marketed.
DEVELOPMENT OF TECHNOLOGIES
The development and application sequence for the Fatigue Fuse and Electrochemical Fatigue Sensor consists of Basic Research, Exploratory Development, Advanced Development,
Prototype Evaluation, Application Demonstration, and Commercial Sales and Service. The Fatigue Fuse came first and is furthest along the path, beginning with the Basic Research by the inventor, Professor Maurice Brull of the University of Pennsylvania. Matech conducted the Advanced Development, including variations of the adhesive bonding process, and fabrication of a laboratory grade recorder for the separation events which constitute proper functioning of the Fatigue Fuse. The next step, Prototype Applications, is almost complete, encompassing empirical tailoring of Fuse parameters to fit the actual spectrum loading expected in specific applications. The associated tests include both coupon specimens and full scale structural tests with attached Fuses. A prototype of a flight qualifiable operational separation event recorder was designed, fabricated, and successfully demonstrated. The next tasks will be to prepare a mathematical analysis for more efficient selection of Fuse parameters and to conduct a comprehensive test program to prove the ability of the Fatigue Fuse to accurately indicate fatigue damage when subjected to realistically large variations in spectrum loading. The final tasks prior to marketing will be an even larger group of demonstration tests.
Basic Research for the Electrochemical Fatigue sensor was conducted at the University of Pennsylvania. It defined the unique physical effect on which the Electrochemical Fatigue Sensor is based, and the materials, configuration, instrumentation and procedures to be employed therein. The next phase will be Advanced Development with more complex load cycles, additional alloys, fabrication of a movable Electrochemical Fatigue Sensor device, and production of another body of reproducible test data. Prototype Applications will then include fabrication of a truly portable near operational load spectra. And again the final steps are multiple demonstration tests followed by routine sales.
To date, certain organizations have included Matech's Fatigue Fuse in test programs. Already completed are tests for lightweight military bridges, and welded steel civil bridge members. Matech has also received commercial inquires on the availability of fatigue Fuses for windmills, marine cranes, and refinery pressure vessels.
DESCRIPTION OF TECHNOLOGIES
The Fatigue Fuse
The Fatigue Fuse, developed by Tensiodyne and now owned by Matech, was designed to be affixed to a structure and to give a number of warnings as preselected portions of the fatigue life have been used up (i.e., how far to failure the object has progressed). It will give warnings against a condition of widespread generalized cracking due to fatigue.
The Fatigue Fuse is a thin piece of metal similar to the material being monitored. It consists of a series of parallel metal strips connected to a common base, much as fingers are attached to a hand. Each of the "fingers" has a different geometric pattern called "notches" defining its boundaries. By application of the laws of physics in determining the geometric contour of each of the notches, the fatigue life of each of the fingers should be finite and predictable. When the fatigue life of a given finger (or Fuse) is reached, the fuse breaks. By implementing different geometry of each finger in the array, different increments of fatigue life become observable. Typically, notches will be designed to facilitate the observation of increments of fatigue life of 10% to 20%. By mechanically attaching or bonding these devices to different areas of the structural member of concern, the Fuse undergoes the same fatigue history as the structural
member. Therefore, breakage of a Fuse will indicate that an increment of fatigue life has been reached for the structural member.
Fatigue results from a metal object being subjected to repeated cyclic strain. In a commercial context this train and concomitant stress comes about as a result of a large number of cycles of loading and unloading. Sudden fracture can result. Fatigue damage and the resultant compromise of the stability and integrity on the member experiencing fatigue can present the potential for structural failure and extreme danger. Such objects as bridges and the wings of airplanes are subject to fatigue and it is obvious that the sudden fracture of such an object would have disastrous results. It is presently impossible, under any generally acceptable theory of fatigue phenomena, to predict by analysis alone when the limit is reached and when a fracture may take place. Further, in normal usage, the damage occurs cumulatively, at microscopic levels and can only be detected in the early stages at a time when dire results can be avoided by examination of the microscopic structure.
This difficulty has caused designers of objects and structures which are subject to fatigue to be extremely conservative and they have attempted to design structures in a manner which maintains the stresses presented in critical areas of a structure at a level well below the know endurance limits of the material employed. In many instances this has resulted in extreme expense. In spite of this "overdesigning", catastrophic fatigue failures still occur. Although tests of the Fatigue Fuse have been performed in independent laboratories and the Fuse has been shown to perform as designed and as expected, Management has determined that substantial additional testing is necessary to ensure that it will be possible to calibrate various types of loading spectra. Management estimates that it will require an outlay of approximately $355,00 to accomplish this additional testing. If this money were available, Management estimates that such additional testing could be accomplished in 6 to 12 months.
Management believes that the Fatigue Fuse will be of value in monitoring aircraft, ships, bridges, conveyor systems, mining equipment, cranes, etc. No special training will be needed to qualify individuals to report any broken segments of the Fatigue Fuse to the appropriate engineering authority for necessary action. The development of such value is contingent upon Matech's successful development and marketing of the Fatigue Fuse, and no assurance can be given that Matech will be able to overcome the obstacles relating to the introduction to the market of a new product. In order to determine its ability to produce and market the Fatigue Fuse, it will be necessary for Matech to have substantial capitalization and no assurance can be given that the needed capital will be available to Matech.
Electrochemical Fatigue Sensor
In July, 1993, Tensiodyne entered into a license and development agreement with the University of Pennsylvania regarding a new invention designed to measure electrochemically the status of fatigue of a structure without knowing the structure's past loading history. Pursuant to this Agreement, 12,500 shares of Tensiodyne's common stock were issued, a 5% royalty on sales of this product was granted, and Tensiodyne undertook to pay $11,112 per month for a total of 18 months, for a total payment of $200,000. As of March 20, 1997, neither Tensiodyne nor Matech has made any payments on this obligation. The company and the University have agreed to modify the terms of the licensing agreement and related obligation. The terms of the modified agreements include an increase in the University's royalty to 7% of the sale of related products,
the issuance of additional shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock to equal 5% of the outstanding stock of the Company as of the effective date of the modified agreements, and to pay to the University 30% of any amounts raised by the Company in excess of $150,000 (excluding amounts received on government grants or contracts). The Electrochemical Fatigue Sensor, as this product is known, is in the initial stage of research. No assurance can be given that it can successfully be developed and that even if it is successfully developed that it can be produced at a price which will permit it being marketed, and that even if these two conditions obtain, that the Electrochemical Fatigue Sensor will, in fact, find a market.
PATENTS Matech is the assignee of four patents originally issued to Tensiodyne. The first was issued on May 27, 1986, and expires on May 27, 2003. It is entitled "Device for Monitoring Fatigue Life" and bears United States Patent Office Numbers 4,590,804. The second patent, entitled "Method of Making a Device for Monitoring Fatigue Life" was issued on February 3, 1987 and expires February 3, 2004. It bears United States Patent Office Number 4,639,997. The third patent, entitled "Metal Fatigue Detector" was issued on August 24, 1993 and expires on August 24, 2010. It bears United States Patent Number 5,237,875. The fourth patent, entitled "Device for Monitoring the Fatigue Life of a Structural Member and a Method of Making Same," was issued on June 14, 1994 and expires on June 14, 2011. It bears United States Patent Number 5,319,982. This latter patent was pending when Tensiodyne assigned the rights to Matech in February 1994 and was assigned to Matech upon issuance later in 1994.
DISTRIBUTION METHODS OF PRODUCT
Provided there are funds to support such activities, as to which no assurance can be given, Matech intends to exhibit the Fatigue Fuse and the Electrochemical Fatigue Sensor at various aerospace trade shows and will also market its products directly to end users, including aircraft manufacturing and aircraft maintenance companies, manufactures and operators of cranes, certain state regulatory agencies charged with overseeing maintenance of bridges, and companies engaged in manufacturing and maintaining large ships and tankers, and to the military. Although management intends to undertake marketing, dependent on the availability of funds, within and with out the United States, no assurance can be given that any such marketing activities will be implemented.
Competition
Matech's Products
1. The Electrochemical Fatigue Sensor is intended to provide a fatigue measurement which cannot now be obtained from any other instrument, namely, an assessment of the extent of fatigue damage before cracks have grown to a size detectable by nondestructive inspection, in a structure which has not previously been instrumented or monitored to record the loads or strains experienced in service.
2. The Fatigue Fuse provides a simple low-tech way to assess and predict fatigue damage, which otherwise requires complex instrumentation, precision data recording, and sophisticated analytical programs.
Competitor's Products
Nevertheless, other technologies exist which indicate fatigue damage. Single cracks larger than a certain minimum size can be found by nondestructive inspection methods such as dye penetrant, radiography, eddy current, acoustic emission, and ultrasonics. Track of load and strain history, for subsequent estimation of fatigue damage by computer processing, is possible with recording instruments such as stain gauges and counting accelerometers. These methods have been used for up to 40 years and also offer the advantage that they have been accepted in the marketplace, whereas Matech's products will remain largely unproven for some currently indeterminable period. Companies marketing these alternate technologies include Magnaflux Corporation, Kraut-Kermer-Branson, Dunegan-Endevco, and MicroMeasurements. These companies have more substantial assets, greater experience, more human and other resources than Matech, including but not limited to established distribution channels and an established computer base. The familiarity and loyalty to these technologies may be difficult to dislodge. Because Matech is still in its development stages, Matech is unable to predict whither its technologies may be successfully developed and commercially attractive to its various potential markets.

ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AS OF DECEMBER 31,1996
As of March 20, 1997 Robert Bernstein, Joel R. Freedman, John Goodman, Sherman Baker, Nathan Greenberg, Melvin Nessel, and Eugene Ribakoff had not filed Form 3, Initial Statement of Beneficial Ownership of Securities pursuant to Rule 16 a-3 of the Exchange Act.
Description of Capital Stock
Matech is authorized to issue 113,000,000 shares of stock. Each of the 133,000,000 shares of stock has a par value of $.001. Of the Shares authorized, 100,00,000 are Class A Common Shares; 3,000,000 are Class B Common shares; and 10,000,000 are Class A Preferred shares.
Holders of the Class A common stock are entitled to one vote per share of common stock held.
Holders of the Class B Common stock are entitled to 200 votes for each share of Class B Common held but are not entitled to dividends by reason of their holding shares of Class B Common stock; nor are they entitled to participate in any proceeds in the event of a liquidation of the Company.
The Certificate of Incorporation of the Company provides that the designation of powers, preferences and rights, including voting rights, if any, qualifications, limitations or restrictions on Preferred Stock is to be fixed by resolution or resolutions of the Board of Directors.
On February 1, 1994, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a Certificate of Designation pertaining to 350,000 of the 10,000,000 shares of the Class A Preferred convertible stock authorized by the Certificate of Incorporation. Under the Certificate of Designation, 350,000 shares of preferred stock were designated Class A Convertible Preferred Stock (hereinafter referred to as "Class A Preferred"). Class A preferred has a liquidation preference. In the event of liquidation, holders of Class A Preferred have the right to receive $.72 for Each Share of Class A Preferred held; before any payment is made or any assets are distributed to holders of Common Stock, or any other stock of any other series or class ranking junior to these shares. In the event of liquidation, holders of Class A Preferred are not entitled to payment beyond $.72 per share. These provisions may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control. Each share of Class A Preferred is convertible into common stock at the discretion of the holder, at the rate of one share of Class A Preferred for each $.72 of common stock. Under the Certification of Designation, Matech is not permitted to issue stock which is senior to or pari passu with Class A Preferred without prior consent of a a majority of the outstanding Class A Preferred shares. Adjustment of the number of Class A Preferred outstanding is provided for in the event of any reclassification of outstanding securities or of the class of securities which are issuable upon conversion of shares and in the event of any reorganization of Matech which results in any reclassification or change in the number of shares outstanding. Similarly, in the event of any such change, the conversion price is subject to adjustment to reflect such change. If at any time while shares of Class A Preferred are outstanding a stock dividend on the Common Stock is issued, the conversion price will be adjusted to prevent any dilution of the holders' of Class A Preferred right of conversion. If (a) there is a reclassification or change in Matech's Common Stock to which the Class A is convertible other than stock splits or other decrease or increase in the number of shares outstanding, (b) Matech consolidates or merges with another corporation, or (c) Matech sells or transfers substantially all of its assets, then the Class A preferred shareholders are entitled to the same consideration as they would have been entitled to if their shares had been converted prior to the reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale or transfer. This provision may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control. Voting rights and the right to receive dividends inherent in Class A Preferred are similar to those rights which inure to the Common Stock.
In February 1994, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation bringing into existence a Class B Preferred Stock. Class B Preferred Stock is junior and subordinate to Class A Convertible Preferred Stock. Five hundred ten (510) shares of Class B Preferred Stock were authorized from the 9,650,000 undesignated preferred shares in connection with the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization. Fifteen (15) shares have been issued to Tensiodyne in connection with the reorganization on exchange for $150,000. In the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary holder of Class B Preferred Stock are entitled to receive $10,000 per share as a liquidation preference. This liquidation preference is senior to the liquidation rights of all other classes of stock except the Class A Preferred's liquidation rights. This provision may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control. At any time, Matech has the option to redeem Class B Preferred stock of $10,000 per share plus any unpaid dividends. After January 31, 2004, holders have the option to redeem their shares at any time. The holders have the right to receive cash dividends, which are determined pursuant to a formula set forth in the Certificate of Designation. That formula reads as follows: "Each time cash dividend is paid on the Common Stock there shall also be paid with respect to each outstanding share of Class B Preferred Stock and amount determined by multiplying the aggregate amount of the dividend paid with respect to the Common Stock by a fraction (i) the numerator of which the dividend was paid, and (x) multiplying the resulting product by thirty percent (30%) and then (y) dividing the resulting product by five hundred and ten (510)." Holders of Class B Preferred Stock shall have one (1) vote per share and shall be entitled by class vote to elect one (1) director and to vote, as a class, on removal of any director so elected. Otherwise, holders of Class B Preferred Stock shall not have the right to vote as a class on any matter.
As of date hereof, 2,580,546 shares of Class A Common Stock are outstanding and held by 405 shareholders' 60,000 shares of Class "B" Common Stock are outstanding and are held by one shareholder, Robert M. Bernstein; 350,000 shares of Class A Convertible Preferred Stock are outstanding and are held by 12 shareholders; and 15 shares of Class B Preferred Stock are outstanding and are held by one shareholder, Tensiodyne.
ITEM 13.
ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
From time to time, Robert M. Bernstein had advanced funds to Matech and at December 31, 1996 Matech owed him $179,544. Robert M. Bernstein has generally waived interest on these advances. Robert M. Bernstein is under no obligation to make further advances to Matech but may continue to so do at his sole discretion. In addition, at December 31,1996, Matech was obligated to Robert M. Bernstein in the amount of $372,000 for accrued salary.
On July 24, 1995, the Company authorized the issuance of notes convertible to common stock to Robert M. Bernstein and the Sherman Baker Group. The note to Robert M. Bernstein will be in the amount of $108,000 and the consideration for that note was $108,000 in cash advances to the Company. The term note will be for three (3) years. Mr. Bernstein will have there right at any time to convert the note or any ratable portion thereof into 520,000 shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock. The note to the Sherman Baker Group will be in the amount of $58,000 and the consideration for that not will be $58,000 cash to the Company. The term of this note will also be three (3) years. The Sherman Baker Group will have the right at any time to convert the
note or any ratable portion thereof into 280,000 shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock.
On February 21, 1997, Matech entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Montpelier Holdings, Inc., ("MHI") SecurFone America, Inc., ("SecurFone") and Robert M. Bernstein, the Chief Executive Officer and controlling shareholder of Matech. Under that agreement, the parties intend to spin-off Matech's business into a newly formed corporation ("Matech 2") as described below and effect a reverse merger of SecurFone into Matech. Upon closing, SecurFone's shareholders will acquire 90% of Matech's outstanding capital stock in exchange for 100% of SecurFone's outstanding capital stock. On March 9, 1997, Matech authorized issuance of 2,319,454 shares of its Class A Common Stock so that the total number of shares outstanding was increased from 2,680,546 shares to 5,000,000 shares as follows:
On March 4,1997, Material Technologies, Inc. ("Matech 2") was incorporated in Delaware for this transaction. On March 9, Matech 2's Board authorized the issuance of 5,560,000 shares of its Class A Common Stock to Matech in exchange for all of Matech's assets and liabilities. It also authorized issuance of 60,000 shares of its Class B Common Stock to Robert M. Bernstein, 350,000 shares of its Class A Convertible Preferred Stock to the Baker Group in exchange for that group's 350,000 shares of preferred stock in Matech, 15 shares of the Company's Class B Preferred Stock to Tensiodyne Corporation in exchange for its preferred stock in Matech, and 1,700,000 warrants to purchase 1,700,000 shares of Matech 2's Class A Common Stock for $.50 per share in exchange for cancellation of like warrants to purchase Matech common stock. The rights, privileges, and designations of the Matech 2's Class B Common Stock, warrants, and its preferred stock will be the same as the corresponding Matech securities except that the redemption date of Matech 2's Class B Preferred Stock was changed from January 31, 2004 to January 1, 2002.
On March 9, 1997 Matech's Board authorized the exchange of its assets and liabilities for 5,560,000 shares of Matech 2's Class A Common Stock. In early April that transaction will be presented for approval to the majority of Matech shareholders and, if approved, an information statement will be mailed to Matech's shareholders who will not vote on the transaction. The exchange may take effect 21 days after that mailing. Matech also agreed to distribute 5 million shares of Matech 2's Class A Common Stock to Matech shareholders in a ratio of one to one. The distribution to Matech's public shareholders is intended to be accomplished under an S-1 Registration Statement that Matech 2 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 19, 1997 but which has not yet become effective. Matech will retain 560,000 shares of the Matech 2's Class A Common Stock to 10.1% of the outstanding shares.
After the distribution, Matech intends to reverse spilt its 5,000,000 outstanding shares, 1 for 10, leaving approximately 500,000 shares outstanding. Fractional shares will be rounded up. Thus, stockholders owning less than ten Matech shares will still receive one share in the reverse split.
Matech intends to then issue 4,500,000 new shares to SecurFone shareholders in exchange for all of SecurFone's outstanding shares leaving Matech's present shareholders with 10% interest in SecurFone. SecurFone will pay Matech 2 $120,000 to cover expenses of the transaction. Matech intends to then change its name to SecurFone. Securfone is a start-up company providing prepaid cellular and telephone line calling cards. SecurFone utilizes an advanced switching platform to provide prepaid debit products to telephone customers. SecurFone's principal offices are in San Diego, California and its primary network facilities are in Miami, FL.
The purpose of the distribution is to spin-off Matech's metal fatigue technologies business allowing Matech's shareholders to retain an interest in Matech's business, while keeping that business separate from SecurFone's new business. If this transaction is completed, Matech's shareholders will retain approximately 90% of their interest in the Company's metal fatigue technologies business and own 10% of SecurFone's prepaid cellular and calling business as well.
The transfer of Matech's assets and liabilities to Matech 2 and the distribution of its shares is designed to provide Matech's shareholders with an interest in SecurFone's business while separating the two businesses which have distinct missions and distinct financial, investment, and operating characteristics, as well as different management teams. Maintaining the separation allows each company to adopt strategies and pursue objectives appropriate to its specific business and to be valued independently from the other. The distribution enables Matech's management to concentrate its attention and resources on developing its Fatigue Fuse and Electrochemical Fatigue Sensor without regard to the corporate and financial objectives and policies of SecurFone.

Statements of operations and cash flows for the period from October 21, 1983 (inception) through December 31, 1990, (with the exception of 1989 which was unaudited) were audited by other auditors whose reports dated on various dates, expressed unqualified opinions including an explanatory paragraph, as discussed in Note 3, regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. These standards require that we plan and perform the audits 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 provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Material Technology, Inc.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 9 - INCOME TAXES
Income taxes are provided based on earnings reported for financial statement purposes pursuant to the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 ("FASB 109"). The provision for income taxes differs from the amounts currently payable because of timing differences in the recognition of certain income and expense items for financial and tax reporting purposes.
FASB 109 uses the asset and liability method to account for income taxes which requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between tax basis and financial reporting basis of assets and liabilities.
An allowance has been provided for by the Company which reduced the tax benefits accrued by the Company for its net operating losses to zero, as it can not be determined when, or if, the tax benefits derived from these operating losses will materialize.
MATERIAL TECHNOLOGY, INC. (FORMERLY TENSIODYNE SCIENTIFIC CORPORATION) (A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 9 - INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED)
For income tax purposes, the Company has approximately $413,000 in net operating losses available to offset future income through the year 2011, however, the actual losses which may used in future years could be limited due to recapitalization or other factors.
NOTE 10 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company's commitments and contingencies are as follows:
a. On December 24, 1985, in order to provide funding for research and development related to the Fatigue Fuse, the Company entered into various agreements with the Tensiodyne 1985-I R & D Partnership. These agreements were amended on October 9, 1989, and under the revised terms, the Company is obligated to pay the Partnership a royalty of 10% of future gross sales. The Company's obligation to the partnership is limited to the capital contributed to it by its partners in the amount of approximately $912,500 and accrued interest.
b. On August 30, 1986, the Company entered into a funding agreement with the Advanced Technology Center ("ATC"), whereby ATC paid $45,000 to the Company for the purchase of a royalty of 3% of future gross sales and 6% of sublicensing revenue. The royalty is limited to the $45,000 plus an 11% annual rate of return. At December 31, 1995, and 1996, the future royalty commitment was limited to $107,510 and $119,336, respectively.
The payment of future royalties is secured by equipment used by the Company in the development of technology as specified in the funding agreement.
c. On May 4, 1987, the Company entered into a funding agreement with ATC, whereby ATC provided $63,775 to the Company for the purchase of a royalty of 3% of future gross sales and 6% of sublicensing revenues. The agreement was amended August 28, 1987, and as amended, the royalty cannot exceed the lesser of (1) the amount of the advance plus a 26% annual rate of return or, (2) total royalties earned for a term of 17 years.
MATERIAL TECHNOLOGY, INC. (FORMERLY TENSIODYNE SCIENTIFIC CORPORATION) (A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 10 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED)
At December 31, 1995, and 1996, the total future royalty commitments, including the accumulated 26% annual rate of return, was limited to approximately $440,265, and $554,734, respectively. The future royalties are secured by the Company's patents, products, and accounts receivable, which may be related to technology developed with the funding.
d. In 1994, the Company issued to Variety Investments, Ltd. of Vancouver, Canada ("Variety"), a 22.5% royalty interest on the Fatigue Fuse in consideration for the cancellation of cash advances made to the Company by Variety.
In December 1996, in exchange for the issuance by the Company of 250,000 shares of its Class A Common stock, Variety reduced its royalty interest to 20%.
e. Under an agreement which was effective February 2, 1994, Tensiodyne Corporation, the Company's former parent, was obligated to provide $5,100,000 in financing to the Company.
During 1994, the Company received $150,000 under this agreement in exchange for the issuance of 7,560 shares of its Class A common stock and 15 shares of its Redeemable Class B Preferred Stock. The $150,000 has been classified for financial purposes as Redeemable Preferred Stock.
The Shareholders of the preferred stock have the right of redemption at $10,000 per share, if the preferred shares are not redeemed by the Company within 10 years of issuance.
Dividends are payable on the preferred shares to the same extent as aggregate dividends on the number of shares of common stock equal to 30% of shares of the Company's common stock outstanding on the closing date. The holders of the preferred shares will be allowed to elect a director of the Company.
MATERIAL TECHNOLOGY, INC. (FORMERLY TENSIODYNE SCIENTIFIC CORPORATION) (A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 10 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED)
Tensiodyne was not able to fund the full amount of its obligation to the Company and on November 22, 1994, the Company filed suit against Tensiodyne for breach of contract. On March 28, 1995, a settlement agreement was entered into whereby Tensiodyne issued to the Company 6,375,000 shares of its Common Stock. The proceeds received from the sale of these shares will be used to reduce Tensiodyne's obligation to pay the remaining balance owing of $4,950,000 and accrued interest which is assessed under the settlement agreement at 7% per annum.
The Company also received upon the signing of the settlement agreement 250,000 shares of Tensiodyne common stock.
Management believes that Tensiodyne has insufficient capital to meet its obligation to pay any of the amounts owed and the Company will have to rely on the proceeds it receives through the sale of the Tensiodyne snares to reduce the amount due.
The shares received are subject to restrictions imposed under SEC Rule 144. Based upon these restrictions and the limited market in which to sell the Tensiodyne stock, it is impractical to estimate the full value of the obligation owed the Company by Tensiodyne.
On December 30, 1996, an agreement was entered into whereby Tensiodyne agreed to exchange the 15 shares of Redeemable Class B Preferred Stock it currently owns for 15 shares of Redeemable Class B Preferred Stock of the Company's subsidiary. The rights of the new issuance will be the same as the rights of the shares exchanged except the shares in the Subsidiary will be redeemable two years earlier on January 31, 2002. In consideration for the exchange, the Company paid Tensiodyne $5,000.
The exchange was made in view of the fact that the Company has entered into an agreement with an unrelated third party to reverse merge with this party and to transfer to the subsidiary the Company's current operations including all of its assets and liabilities (See Note 15, "Subsequent Events").
MATERIAL TECHNOLOGY, INC. (FORMERLY TENSIODYNE SCIENTIFIC CORPORATION) (A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 10 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED)
f. The Company entered into an agreement with an unrelated third party for providing the idea of pursuing a government contract for the funding of the development of the Company's technologies, under which he would receive a number of the Company's Class A Common Stock equal to 2.5% of the number of shares outstanding as of the date a government contract is signed, 15% of the amount of the government contract, and an appointment to the Company's Board of Directors. Funds due him will be paid only when such funds become available to the Company.
The Company's obligation is created on the date the government contract is signed. Under the agreement with this individual, the amounts due will be evidenced by a promissory note bearing interest at major bank prime.
Interest accrues nine months after the government contract is executed, and is payable quarterly. The principal balance and any accrued interest is paid through funds raised or earned by the Company. The Company is obligated to pay 12.5% of the first $l,000,0000 earned or raised and 15% of any amount in excess of the $1,000,000.
The Agreement contains anti-dilution provisions relating to the shares to be issued which expire once $50,000 is paid. The Company's obligation to have this person as a Director expires once all amounts due are paid. The contingent amount due has been personally guaranteed by the Company's President and is secured by the Company's patents. The personal guarantee expires upon the individual receiving $100,000.
g. As discussed in Note 8, the Company granted a 1% royalty interest in the Company's Fatigue Fuse and a .5% royalty interest in its Electrochemical Fatigue sensor to Mr. Sherman Baker as part consideration on a $25,000 loan made by Mr. Baker to the Company.
A summary of royalty interests which the Company has granted and are outstanding as of December 31, 1996, follows:
