THE COMPANY
OVERVIEW
CDSI Holdings Inc. (the "Company") owns 100% of the issued and
outstanding shares of common stock of Controlled Distribution Systems, Inc.
("CDS") and an approximate 0.4% interest on a fully diluted basis in Dialog
Group Inc. (formerly known as IMX Pharmaceuticals Inc.). Prior to February 2000,
CDS was a company that was primarily engaged in marketing and leasing a prepaid,
wireless, remote-operated retail inventory control and dispensing system for
tobacco products called the Coinexx Star 10. Prior to October 2000, CDS also
owned traditional cigarette vending machines and a related vending route. In
February 2000, the Company terminated all operations relating to marketing and
leasing the Coinexx Star 10 system. On October 5, 2000, CDS completed the sale
to Gutlove & Shirvant, Inc. ("Gutlove") of the assets of its cigarette vending
route, including vending machines and a van. Dialog is a marketing services
company that provides direct mail and telemarketing services.
1
The Company intends to seek new business opportunities. As the Company
has only limited cash resources, the Company's ability to complete any
acquisition or investment opportunities it may identify will depend on its
ability to raise additional financing, as to which there can be no assurance. As
of the date of this report, the Company has not identified any potential
acquisition or investment. There can be no assurance that the Company will
successfully identify, complete or integrate any future acquisition or
investment, or that acquisitions or investments, if completed, will contribute
favorably to its operations and future financial condition.
COMPANY HISTORY
The Company was incorporated in Delaware in December 1993 under the
name PC411, Inc. In January 1999, it changed its name to CDSI Holdings Inc. to
reflect the change in its principal business. The Company was originally formed
to develop an on-line service that transmits name, address, telephone number and
other related information digitally to users of personal computers. In May 1998
the Company acquired CDS and, in December 1998, CDS acquired substantially all
of the assets of TD Rowe Corporation's New York cigarette vending route. In
November 1998, the Company transferred substantially all of the non-cash assets
and certain liabilities used in its on-line data distribution business to
ThinkDirectMarketing Inc. ("TDMI") in exchange for an initial 42.5% interest in
that company. The other investors of TDMI included Acxiom Corporation, Cater
Barnard plc and TDMI's management and employees. In January 2002, Dialog
acquired all the stock of TDMI that it did not already own, and, based on public
filings by Dialog, the Company presently holds approximately a 0.4% interest in
Dialog on a fully diluted basis in Dialog.
THINKDIRECTMARKETING, INC.
On November 5, 1998, the Company contributed substantially all the
non-cash assets and certain liabilities related to its on-line electronic
delivery information service to TDMI, and received preferred stock of TDMI. On
January 31, 2002, Dialog acquired all the shares of TDMI that it did not
already own by exercising an option previously granted by the remaining TDMI
stockholders. The Company received 8,250 shares of Dialog Class B Convertible
Preferred Stock in exchange for its interest in TDMI. Each share of Dialog
Class B Preferred Stock was entitled to receive an annual dividend of $4.00 on
December 31 of each year. The dividend was payable at the option of Dialog in
shares of its Common Stock, which trades on the NASD OTC Electronic Bulletin
Board under the symbol "DLGG". The shares of Dialog Class B Preferred Stock to
be received by the Company were initially convertible into 165,000 shares of
Dialog Common Stock.
On November 4, 2002, the holders of Dialog Class B Preferred Stock and
Dialog agreed to (i) increase the number of common shares into which the Dialog
Class B Preferred Stock is convertible from 1,575,000 to 3,150,000 and (ii)
eliminate the annual dividend on the Class B Preferred Stock. As a result, the
Class B Preferred Stock held by CDSI became convertible into 330,000 shares of
Dialog Common Stock and, on February 7, 2003, CDSI converted its Class B
Preferred Shares into 330,000 shares of Dialog Common Stock. Based on public
filings by Dialog, management estimates that CDSI's interest in Dialog is
approximately 0.4 % on a fully-diluted basis.
Dialog is registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and
files periodic and other information with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. In December 2001, Dialog emerged from bankruptcy proceedings,
divested its former operations and acquired TDMI and Findstar, plc. Findstar is
a sales-led organization with telemarketing capabilities currently responsible
2
for the sale and distribution of Panda Software anti-virus software and products
in the United Kingdom. Dialog has recently announced its acquisition of
Healthcare Dialog, Inc., a provider of relationship marketing communications
services to the healthcare industry, and IP2M, Inc., a marketing company that
has developed a marketing platform in healthcare that integrates radio,
television and the Internet to assist clients in targeting customers. Dialog has
also announced that it is negotiating to acquire the 50% of Healthcare Horizons,
Inc. not presently owned by Dialog and the assets of Azimuth Target Marketing,
Inc.
EMPLOYEES
As of December 31, 2002, the Company had two employees, its President
and Chief Executive Officer and its Vice President and Chief Financial Officer,
both of whom are also employees of New Valley Corporation ("New Valley"), its
largest stockholder. The Company believes that it has good relations with its
employees. None of its employees is represented by a collective bargaining
agreement.
RISK FACTORS
ACCUMULATED DEFICIT; HISTORY OF LOSSES. At December 31, 2002, the
Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $8 million. The Company has
reported an operating loss in each of its fiscal quarters since inception and
expects to continue to incur operating losses in the immediate future. The
Company has reduced operating expenses and is seeking acquisition and investment
opportunities. No assurance can be given that the Company will not continue to
incur operating losses.
LIMITED RESOURCES AND NO SOURCE OF OPERATING REVENUES. At December 31,
2002, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $215,087 and working capital
of $200,981. Since the sale of CDS's vending route in October 2000, the Company
has had no source of operating revenue. The Company will not achieve any
significant revenues until the consummation of an acquisition or investment, if
ever. Moreover, there can be no assurance that any acquisition or investment, if
achieved, will result in material revenues from its operations or that it will
operate on a profitable basis.
ADDITIONAL FINANCING REQUIREMENTS. The Company's ability to complete
any acquisition or investment opportunities it may identify will depend upon the
availability of, and its ability to secure, new equity or debt financing. The
Company has no commitments for any financing. Further, there can be no assurance
that the Company will be able to generate levels of revenues and cash flows
sufficient from any acquisition or investment to fund operations or that the
Company will be able to obtain financing on satisfactory terms, if at all, to
achieve profitable operations.
"BLIND POOL"; BROAD DISCRETION OF MANAGEMENT. Prospective investors who
invest in the Company will do so without an opportunity to evaluate the specific
merits or risks of any proposed transactions. As a result, investors will be
entirely dependent on the broad discretion and judgment of management in
connection with the application of the Company's working capital and the
selection of an acquisition or investment target. There can be no assurance that
determinations ultimately made by the Company will permit the Company to achieve
profitable operations.
ACQUISITION AND INVESTMENT RISKS. As part of its business strategy, the
Company may evaluate new acquisition and investment opportunities. Acquisitions
involve numerous risks, including difficulties in the assimilation of the
operations and products or services of the acquired companies, the expenses
incurred in connection with the acquisition and subsequent assimilation of
operations and products or services and the potential loss of key employees of
the acquired company. There can be no assurance that the Company will
successfully identify, complete or integrate any future acquisitions or
investments or that completed acquisitions or investments will contribute
favorably to the Company's operations and future financial condition.
3
DEPENDENCE UPON EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS. The ability
of the Company to successfully effect a transaction will be largely dependent
upon the efforts of its management and the Board of Directors. The Company only
has two employees, none of whom work full-time for the Company. No assurance can
be given that the Board of Directors and management will be successful in
consummating a transaction and achieving profitability.
LIMITED TRADING MARKET. During 1999, the Company's securities were
delisted from the Nasdaq SmallCap market for failure to comply with the minimum
listing maintenance requirements. As a result, the Company's securities
currently trade on the OTC Bulletin Board of the National Association of
Security Dealers, Inc. Consequently, a stockholder could likely find it more
difficult to sell or to obtain quotations as to prices of the Company's
securities. In addition, there is a limited trading market in the Company's
securities. During 2002, the average daily trading volume of the Company's
Common Stock was approximately 3,055 shares, with 202 days having no trading
activity. No assurances can be given that the Company's Common Stock will
continue to trade on the OTC Bulletin Board or that an orderly trading market
will be maintained for the Company's Common Stock.
ABSENCE OF FULL-TIME MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL. In November 1998, all of the
Company's executive officers resigned and were hired by TDMI. In addition, in
February 1999, the former President of CDS resigned. The Company's current
President and Chief Executive Officer and its Vice President and Chief Financial
Officer are executive officers of New Valley. Neither of these individuals
devotes his full time and attention to the affairs of the Company.
CONCENTRATION OF STOCK OWNERSHIP. Alki Corp., the successor to Direct
Assist Holding, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of New Valley, beneficially owns
approximately 55.0% of the Company's outstanding Common Stock. As a result, New
Valley, through its subsidiary, controls all matters requiring stockholder
approval, including the election of directors, the appointment of officers and
approval of significant corporate transactions including a merger, an
acquisition or a sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets. Such
concentration of ownership may also have the effect of delaying or preventing a
change in control of the Company. In addition, the Company is subject to a State
of Delaware statute regulating business combinations, which may also hinder or
delay a change of control.
ABSENCE OF DIVIDENDS. The Company has never paid nor does it expect in
the foreseeable future to pay any dividends.
LIMITATION ON DIRECTOR LIABILITY. To the extent permitted under the
Delaware General Corporation Law, the Company's Restated Certificate of
Incorporation limits the liability of directors for monetary damages for
breaches of a director's fiduciary duty, including breaches that constitute
gross negligence. As a result, under certain circumstances, neither the Company
nor its stockholders may be able to recover damages from directors.
DILUTION. The Board of Directors of the Company, without any action by
the stockholders, is authorized to designate and issue additional classes or
series of capital stock (including classes or series of preferred stock) as it
deems appropriate and to establish the rights, preferences and privileges of
such classes or series. The issuance of any new class or series of capital stock
would not only dilute the ownership interest of the current stockholders of the
Company but may also adversely affect the voting power and other rights of
holders of Common Stock. The rights of holders of preferred stock and other
classes of common stock that may be issued may be superior to the rights of the
holders of the existing class of Common Stock in terms of the payment of
ordinary and liquidating dividends and voting rights.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
The Company's corporate offices are located in the executive offices of
New Valley. CDS leased approximately 5,738 square feet of office space in Fort
Lee, New Jersey that was previously used for its corporate offices, sales,
customer service and administrative functions. In 2001 and 2002, the Company
sublet at its cost the New Jersey facility on a month-to-month basis. In January
2003, the sublease tenant abandoned the facility. In February 2003, the Company
reached an understanding with the lessor where it would be released from the
remaining lease obligations of $76,124 in exchange for the forfeiture of a
security deposit of $18,505. The parties are in the process of completing the
documentation for the settlement. The Company believes that its current
facilities are adequate for the foreseeable future.

The Company is not a party to any pending legal proceedings.

ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
Based on public filings by Dialog, management estimates that the
Company owns an approximate 0.4% interest in Dialog on a fully diluted basis.
The Company intends to seek new investments in other business opportunities. As
the Company has only limited cash resources, the Company's ability to complete
any acquisition or investment opportunities it may identify will depend on its
ability to raise additional financing, as to which there can be no assurance.
There can be no assurance that the Company will successfully identify, complete
or integrate any future acquisition or investment, or that acquisitions or
investments, if completed, will contribute favorably to its operations and
future financial condition.
THINKDIRECTMARKETING, INC.
On November 5, 1998, the Company contributed substantially all the
non-cash assets and certain liabilities related to its on-line electronic
delivery information service to TDMI, and received preferred stock of TDMI. See
Note 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional
information concerning the Company's former investment in TDMI.
The Company's interest in TDMI was accounted for using the equity
method of accounting. Commencing in the second quarter of 1999, the carrying
value of the Company's investment in TDMI was reduced to zero, and the Company
suspended recognizing its share of the additional losses of TDMI. In the second
quarter of 2001, TDMI repaid a $100,000 note receivable due to the Company. As a
result, the Company recorded $100,000 of income associated with the repayment
for the year ended December 31, 2001.
On January 31, 2002, Dialog acquired all the shares of TDMI it did not
already own by exercising an option previously granted by the remaining TDMI
stockholders. The Company received preferred stock of Dialog in exchange for its
interest in TDMI. The preferred stock was convertible into Dialog common stock
and, on February 7, 2003, CDSI converted its Class B Preferred Shares into
330,000 shares of Dialog Common Stock.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
REVENUES
For the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, the Company did not
generate revenues from operations.
EXPENSES
Expenses associated with corporate activities were $51,948 and $56,688
for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The expenses were
primarily associated with costs necessary to maintain a public company. The
decrease in expenses is associated with lower audit expenses in 2002. The
7
expenses have been reduced by adjustments of previously established accruals of
$5,000 and $15,000 for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
These adjustments related to liabilities established when the Company conducted
an on-line electronic directory service. The Company evaluates accruals on a
quarterly basis and adjusts as appropriate.
OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE)
Interest and other income was $2,569 and $7,988 for the years ended
December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The difference was primarily due to
lower interest rates in 2002. The Company recorded $100,000 in income in 2001
relating to the repayment of a loan receivable from TDMI. The carrying value of
the loan had been reduced to zero in the second quarter of 1999 when the Company
suspended recognizing its share of the additional losses of TDMI.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At December 31, 2002, the Company had an accumulated deficit of
approximately $8 million. The Company has reported an operating loss in each of
its fiscal quarters since inception and it expects to continue to incur
operating losses in the immediate future. The Company has reduced operating
expenses and is seeking acquisition and investment opportunities. No assurance
can be given that the Company will not continue to incur operating losses.
The Company has limited available cash, limited cash flow, limited
liquid assets and no credit facilities. The Company has not been able to
generate sufficient cash from operations and, as a consequence, financing has
been required to fund ongoing operations. Since completion of the Company's
initial public offering of its common stock (the "IPO") in May 1997, the Company
has primarily financed its operations with the net proceeds of the IPO. The
funds were used to complete the introduction of the PC411 Service over the
Internet, to expand marketing, sales and advertising, to develop or acquire new
services or databases, to acquire CDS and for general corporate purposes.
In connection with the IPO, the Company issued 2,322,500 Redeemable
Class A Warrants (the "Warrants"), including 1,000,000 of which were held by New
Valley. The Warrants, which entitled the holder to purchase one share of Common
Stock at an initial exercise price of $6.10, expired unexercised on May 13,
2002.
Cash used for operations for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001
was $50,598 and $87,502, respectively. The decrease is primarily due to a lower
balance in accrued expenses at December 31, 2001 versus December 31, 2000, which
resulted in lower payments of accounts payable and accrued liabilities for the
year ended December 31, 2002 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2001.
Included in the Company's accrued liabilities as of December 31, 2002 is $1,500
of liabilities established in the disposal of the Company's former business of
marketing and leasing an inventory control system for tobacco products. The
Company evaluates its accruals on a quarterly basis and makes adjustments when
appropriate.
The Company does not expect significant capital expenditures during the
year ended December 31, 2003.
At December 31, 2002, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of
$215,087. The Company does not currently have any commitments for any additional
financing, and there can be no assurance that any such commitments can be
obtained. Any additional equity financing may be dilutive to its existing
stockholders, and debt financing, if available, may involve pledging some or all
of its assets and may contain restrictive covenants with respect to raising
future capital and other financial and operational matters.
8
Inflation and changing prices had no material impact on revenues or the
results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2002 and 2001.
Management is currently evaluating alternatives to supplement the
Company's present cash and cash equivalents to meet its liquidity requirements
over the next twelve months. Such alternatives include seeking additional
investors and/or lenders and disposing of the share of Dialog common stock held
by the Company. On February 7, 2003, the Company converted its Class B Preferred
Shares into Dialog Common Stock, which is traded on the NASD OTC Bulletin Board.
However, there is only a limited trading market for the Dialog shares, and the
Company may not be able to sell any material portion of its shares at prevailing
market prices. Although there can be no assurance, the Company believes that it
will be able to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months.
The Company or its affiliates, including New Valley, may, from time to
time, based upon present market conditions, purchase shares of the Common Stock
in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions.

registered class of the Company's equity securities, to file reports of
ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "SEC"). Officers, directors and greater than ten percent shareholders are
required by SEC regulation to furnish the Company with copies of all Section

other than the normal compensation paid to directors of the Company.
See "Compensation of Directors."

STOCK OPTIONS
In order to attract and retain persons necessary for the business of
the Company, the Company adopted the 1997 Stock Option Plan (the "Option Plan")
covering up to 750,000 shares, pursuant to which officers, directors and key
employees of the Company and consultants to the Company are eligible to receive
incentive and/or non-incentive stock options. The Option Plan, which expires ten
years from the date of its adoption, is administered by the Board of Directors
or the Compensation Committee. The selection of participants, allotment of
shares, determination of price and other conditions relating to the grant of
options is determined by the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee.
Incentive stock options granted under the Option Plan are exercisable for a
period of up to 10 years from the date of grant at an exercise price which is
not less than the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of the
grant, except that the term of an incentive stock option granted under the
Option Plan to a stockholder owning more than 10% of the outstanding Common
Stock may not exceed five years and its exercise price may be not less than 110%
of the fair market value of the shares on the date of the grant.
Under the Option Plan, each director who is not a full-time employee of
the Company, immediately upon first taking office, is granted options to
purchase 6,000 shares of Common Stock exercisable at the fair market value of
such shares on the date of grant. Options for 3,000 shares covered thereby are
exercisable immediately and options for 3,000 shares become exercisable on the
first anniversary of the date of grant. Subsequently, the Option Plan provides
for annual grants of options to purchase 3,000 shares of Common Stock upon
reelection as a director of the Company. At the Company's annual meeting on
January 12, 1999, each director was granted options to purchase 3,000 shares of
Common Stock at $0.44 per share.
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
There is no employment agreement between the Company and Mr. Lampen,
the named executive officer.
COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS
The Company pays each director who is not a full-time employee of the
Company an annual retainer of $5,000, payable quarterly, and reimburses the
directors for reasonable travel expenses incurred in connection with their
activities on behalf of the Company. See "Stock Options."

The Stockholders and Board of Directors of
CDSI Holdings Inc.:
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the accompanying
index present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of CDSI
Holdings Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company") at December 31, 2002, and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the two years in
the period ended December 31, 2002, in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Company's management; our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We
conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with auditing standards
generally accepted in the United States of America, which require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

CDSI HOLDINGS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(1) BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION
CDSI Holdings Inc. (the "Company" or "CDSI") was incorporated in Delaware
on December 29, 1993. On January 12, 1999, the Company's stockholders
voted to change the corporate name of the Company from PC411, Inc. to
CDSI Holdings Inc. Prior to May 8, 1998, the Company's principal business
was an on-line electronic delivery information service that transmits
name, address, telephone number and other related information digitally
to users of personal computers (the "PC411 Service"). On May 8, 1998, the
Company acquired Controlled Distribution Systems, Inc. ("CDS"), a company
engaged in the marketing and leasing of an inventory control system for
tobacco products. In February 2000, CDSI announced CDS will no longer
actively engage in the business of marketing and leasing the inventory
control system.
At December 31, 2002, the Company had an accumulated deficit of
approximately $8 million. The Company has reported an operating loss in
each of its fiscal quarters since inception and it expects to continue to
incur operating losses in the immediate future. The Company has reduced
operating expenses and is seeking acquisition and investment
opportunities. No assurance can be given that the Company will not
continue to incur operating losses.
CDSI intends to explore investments in other business opportunities. As
CDSI has only limited cash resources, CDSI's ability to complete any
acquisition or investment opportunities it may identify will depend on
its ability to raise additional financing, as to which there can be no
assurance. As of the date of this report, the Company has not identified
any potential acquisition or investment. There can be no assurance that
the Company will successfully identify, complete or integrate any future
acquisition or investment, or that acquisitions or investments, if
completed, will contribute favorably to its operations and future
financial condition.
(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and its majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany
transactions have been eliminated.
F-8
CDSI HOLDINGS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - (Continued)
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents include money market funds with a weighted
average maturity of three months or less.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The fair values of the Company's cash and cash equivalents and accrued
expenses approximate their carrying values due to the relatively short
maturities of these instruments.
INCOME TAXES
The Company utilizes the liability method of accounting for deferred
income taxes. Under the liability method, deferred tax assets and
liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial
statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates
in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.
COMPUTATION OF BASIC AND DILUTED NET (LOSS) INCOME PER SHARE
Basic net (loss) income per share of Common Stock has been computed by
dividing the net (loss) income applicable to common shareholders by the
weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the
year. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss applicable
to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding, increased by the assumed conversion of other potentially
dilutive securities during the period. Stock options and warrants
totaling 656,788 and 2,979,288 shares at December 31, 2002 and 2001,
respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted per share
results presented because their effect was anti-dilutive. Accordingly,
diluted net (loss) income per common share is the same as basic net
(loss) income per common share. On May 13, 2002, a total of 2,322,500 of
the stock options and warrants expired.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting 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 revenue and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
CONCENTRATIONS OF RISKS
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to
concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash held in
overnight money market accounts. The Company has no formal policy
requiring collateral to support the financial instruments subject to
credit risk.
(3) THINKDIRECTMARKETING, INC. TRANSACTION
On November 5, 1998, the Company contributed the non-cash assets and
certain liabilities of the PC411 Service to ThinkDirectMarketing, Inc.
("TDMI") (formerly known as Digital Asset Management, Inc.). The Company
received preferred stock representing an initial 42.5% interest in TDMI
in exchange for the contribution of the PC411 Service's net assets. The
Company's carrying value in the net assets contributed to TDMI totaled
$73,438. The Company recorded $462,360 as a capital contribution in
connection with the transaction, which represented the Company's 42.5%
interest in the capital raised by TDMI in excess of the carrying value of
F-9
CDSI HOLDINGS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
the Company's net assets contributed to TDMI. The Company agreed, under
certain conditions, to fund up to $200,000 of an $800,000 working capital
line. The Company funded $100,000 of the working capital line in the
second quarter of 1999. In July 1999, the Company agreed to extend the
maturity of its working capital line and was released from any further
obligation to fund additional amounts under the working capital line.
In October 2000, TDMI and Cater Barnard plc (formerly known as
VoyagerIT.com) entered into an agreement whereby Cater Barnard purchased
for $5,000,000 shares of TDMI's convertible preferred stock and
convertible notes on various dates between November 10, 2000 and June 8,
2001. On October 16, 2001, Cater Barnard agreed to use its best efforts
to fund an additional $1,250,000 to TDMI by January 31, 2002 and on the
same date, the TDMI stockholders granted Cater Barnard an option to
purchase by January 31, 2002 all of TDMI's common stock not held by Cater
Barnard for an aggregate purchase price of 78,750 shares of Convertible
Preferred Stock of Dialog Group Inc. ("Dialog," formerly known as IMX
Pharmaceuticals, Inc.). Dialog is a majority-owned subsidiary of Cater
Barnard to which Cater Barnard had transferred its interest in TDMI. The
preferred stock was initially convertible into 1,575,000 shares of Dialog
common stock.
On January 31, 2002, Dialog acquired all the shares of TDMI it did not
already own by exercising the option previously granted to Cater Barnard.
CDSI received 8,250 shares of Dialog Class B Convertible Preferred Stock
in exchange for its interest in TDMI. Each share of Dialog Class B
Preferred Stock was entitled to receive an annual dividend of $4.00 on
December 31 of each year. The dividend was payable at the option of
Dialog in shares of its Common Stock, which trades on the NASD OTC
Electronic Bulletin Board under the symbol "DLGG". The shares of Dialog
Class B Preferred Stock to be received by the Company were initially
convertible into 165,000 shares of Dialog Common Stock.
On November 4, 2002, the holders of Dialog Class B Preferred Stock and
Dialog agreed to (i) increase the number of common shares into which the
Dialog Class B Preferred Stock is convertible from 1,575,000 to 3,150,000
and (ii) eliminate the annual dividend on the Class B Preferred Stock. As
a result, the Class B Preferred Stock held by CDSI became convertible
into 330,000 shares of Dialog Common Stock. Based on public filings by
Dialog, management estimates that CDSI's interest in Dialog is
approximately 0.4% on a fully-diluted basis. On February 7, 2003, CDSI
converted its preferred shares into 330,000 shares of Dialog Common
Stock.
Under an Investors' Rights Agreement dated January 31, 2002 between
Dialog and the former TDMI stockholders, if Dialog receives a written
request from at least 50% of the former TDMI stockholders to register the
Dialog Common Stock issuable on conversion of the Dialog Class B
Preferred Stock, it must use its best efforts to file, within 90 days of
the receipt of such request, a registration statement covering the
registration of such securities under the Securities Act of 1933.
The Company accounted for its non-controlling interest in TDMI using the
equity basis of accounting since November 5, 1998. In the second quarter
of 1999, the carrying value of the Company's investment in TDMI,
including the $100,000 note receivable, was reduced to zero as the
cumulative equity in TDMI's losses exceeded the Company's investment in
TDMI. Since the Company had no intention or commitment to fund future
TDMI losses, commencing in the second quarter of 1999, the Company
suspended recognizing its share of the additional losses of TDMI. The
Company recorded income of $100,000 for the year ended December 31, 2001
in connection with the repayment of the $100,000 note receivable from
TDMI.

(4) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Certain accounting and related finance functions are performed on behalf
of the Company by employees of the Company's principal stockholder, New
Valley Corporation ("New Valley"). Expenses incurred relating to these
functions are allocated to the Company and paid as incurred to New Valley
based on management's best estimate of the cost involved. The amounts
allocated were immaterial for all periods presented herein.
(5) STOCK OPTIONS
The Company's 1997 Stock Option Plan (the "1997 Plan") provides for the
grant of options to purchase the Company's stock to the employees and
directors of the Company. The term of the options granted under the 1997
Plan is limited to 10 years. Subject to certain limitations under the
1997 Plan, the number of awards, the terms and conditions of any award
granted thereunder (including the exercise price, grant price or purchase
price) are at the discretion of the Board of Directors. The Board of
Directors has reserved 750,000 shares of the Company's common stock for
issuance under the 1997 Plan and, at December 31, 2002, 153,333 of the
granted options were outstanding and exercisable.
Stock options issued in 1995 and 1996 under a 1994 stock option plan,
which was terminated in 1997, vested over a three-year period and have an
exercise price of $11.52 per share. At December 31, 2002, 3,455 of the
granted options were outstanding and exercisable.
The following table summarizes information regarding outstanding and
exercisable options as of December 31, 2002:

The Company applies APB Opinion No. 25 and related Interpretations in
accounting for its stock options. In 1995, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board issued SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation", which, if fully adopted, changes the methods of
recognition of cost on certain stock options. Had compensation cost for
the Company's stock options been determined based on the fair value at
the date of grant consistent with SFAS 123, the Company's net loss and
basic and diluted net (loss) income per share would have been $(49,379)
or $(0.02) in 2002 and $51,300 or $0.02 in 2001.
No options were granted or forfeited for the year ended December 31, 2002
and the weighted average exercise price per share of options outstanding
is $2.24.
In addition to the options issued in connection with the stock option
plans, the Company has granted Direct Assist Holding Inc., a wholly-owned
subsidiary of New Valley, options to acquire 500,000 shares of Common
Stock at $5.75 per share, which fully vested upon the completion of the
IPO. The options expire in January 2007.
(7) LEASE
At December 31, 2002, the Company was obligated under a noncancelable
operating lease agreement for CDS's former facility in New Jersey,
expiring in June 2003. The lease requires the Company to pay utilities,
insurance, capital and operating expenses. In 2001 and 2002, the Company
sublet at its cost the New Jersey facility on a month-to-month basis. In

January 2003, the sublease tenant abandoned the facility. In February
2003, the Company reached an agreement with the lessor where it would be
released from the lease obligations of $76,124 in exchange for the
forfeiture of a security deposit of $18,505. Total rental expense, net of
sublease income, for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 was $0
and $0, respectively.
(8) STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
PREFERRED STOCK
The Company has the authority to issue 5,000,000 shares of Preferred
Stock, which may be issued from time to time in one or more series.
REDEEMABLE CLASS A WARRANTS
Each Redeemable Class A Warrant (the "Warrant") issued in the IPO
entitles the holder to purchase one share of Common Stock at an initial
exercise price of $6.10 at any time through May 13, 2002. There were
2,322,500 Warrants outstanding at December 31, 2001, of which 1,000,000
were held by New Valley. The Warrants expired on May 13, 2002 and, as a
result, no Warrants were outstanding at December 31, 2002.
(9) INCOME TAXES
During the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, the Company had no
income and therefore made no provision for Federal and state income
taxes.
At December 31, 2002, the Company had approximately $6,825,000 of net
operating loss carryforwards for federal and state tax reporting purposes
available to offset future taxable income, if any; such carryforwards
expire between 2009 and 2022 (federal) and 2005 and 2022 (state),
respectively. Deferred tax assets and liabilities principally relate to
net operating loss carryforwards and aggregate approximately $2,320,000
before valuation allowance. In assessing the realizability of the net
deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than
not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The
ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the
generation of future taxable income during periods in which those
temporary differences become deductible. As of December 31, 2002, the
Company has provided a full valuation allowance against net deferred tax
assets due to the Company's uncertainty of future taxable income against
which the deferred tax asset may be utilized. Accordingly, no deferred
tax asset has been recorded on the accompanying balance sheet.
