                        Integrated Surgical Systems, Inc.
        Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
                                  June 30, 2004

1. Basis of presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Integrated
Surgical Systems, Inc. (the "Company") pursuant to the rules and regulations of
the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America have been condensed or omitted as permitted by such rules and
regulations. While the interim financial information contained in this filing is
unaudited, such financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of
normal recurring adjustments, which the Company considers necessary for a fair
presentation. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of
the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year. These financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-KSB for the fiscal period ended December 31, 2003.

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 and related
disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

2. Results of Operations and Management's Plan

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared
on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the
satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for the six-month
period ended June 30, 2004, the Company incurred a net loss for such six-month
period of $712,272 and had an accumulated deficit as of June 30, 2004 of
$68,443,481. For the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company incurred a net
loss of $3,250,219 and had an accumulated deficit at December 31, 2003 of
$67,731,209. The report of independent auditors on the Company's December 31,
2003 consolidated financial statements includes an explanatory paragraph
indicating there is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as
a going concern. The Company believes that it has a plan to address these issues
and enable the Company to continue operating through June 30, 2005. This plan
includes obtaining additional equity or debt financing, increasing product sales
in existing markets, increasing sales of system upgrades, and further reductions
in operating expenses as necessary (see note 5). Although the Company believes
that the plan will be realized, there is no assurance that these events will
occur. In the event that the Company is unsuccessful, it is possible that it
will cease operations and/or seek bankruptcy protection. The June 30, 2004
condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to
reflect the uncertainties related to the recoverability and classification of
assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from an
inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

3. Inventories

At June 30, 2004, the components of inventories were:

             Raw materials                                 $120,513
             Work-in-process                                233,726
             Finished goods                                 124,608
             Deferred product development contract costs     48,640
                                                           --------
                                                           $527,487
                                                           ========

4. Warranty and Service Contracts

The Company offers a one-year warranty for parts and labor on all ROBODOC(R)
systems generally commencing upon the completion of training and installation.
In most cases, the Company's customers purchase a service contract, which
includes warranty coverage (parts and labor), unspecified product maintenance
updates, customer support services and various consumables required during
surgical procedures. Customers not covered by warranties or service contracts
are billed on a time and materials basis for service, and on a per unit basis
for products. At June 30, 2004, the Company had no recorded warranty liability
as all systems within the one-year warranty period were covered by service
contracts. Revenue related to maintenance and service contracts is recognized
ratably over the duration of the contract.

5. Securities Purchase Agreement

To obtain funding for the Company's ongoing operations, the Company entered into
a securities purchase agreement (the "Agreement") with an accredited investor on
June 15, 2004 with respect to the sale by the Company for aggregate
consideration of $150,000 of (i) a convertible debenture in the principal amount
of $150,000 and (ii) warrants to purchase 1,500,000 shares of Company common
stock. The Company is obligated to register under the Securities Act for resale
by the investor the common stock underlying the debenture and warrants. The
investor provided the Company with a $200,000 consideration as follows:

     o    $100,000 was disbursed to the Company on June 15, 2004;

     o    $50,000 was disbursed to the Company on October 19, 2004; and

     o    $50,000 has been retained for disbursement to various professionals in
          payment for services to be provided to the Company.

The convertible debenture bears interest at 6 3/4%, matures two years from the
date of issuance, and is convertible into Company common stock, at the
investor's option. The convertible debenture is convertible into the number of
shares of Company common stock equal to the principal amount of the debenture
being converted multiplied by 11, less the product of the conversion factor
multiplied by ten times the dollar principal amount of the debenture being
converted. The conversion factor for the convertible debenture is the lesser of
(i) $0.25 or (ii) eighty percent of the average of the five lowest volume
weighted average prices during the twenty (20) trading days prior to the
conversion. Accordingly, there is in fact no limit on the number of shares into
which the debenture may be converted. In addition, the investor is obligated to
proportionately exercise, concurrently with the submission of a conversion
notice by the selling stockholder, the warrants. The warrants are exercisable
into 1,500,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share.

The investor has contractually agreed to restrict its ability to convert or
exercise its warrants and receive shares of Company common stock such that the
number of shares of common stock held by it and its affiliates after such
conversion and exercise does not exceed 4.9% of the then issued and outstanding
shares of Company common stock.

The issuance of more than 51.5 million shares of common stock pursuant to this
agreement would require the Company to issue shares of common stock in excess of
the Company's authorized capital. The Company intends to seek stockholders
approval to increase the Company's current authorized common stock from
100,000,000 to 300,000,000 shares. Such solicitation will be made pursuant to a
proxy statement conforming to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB should not be
considered, in any manner, a solicitation for voting in favor of such an
increase in authorized stock.

The issuance of the convertible debenture and warrants to the investor is
contingent upon stockholder approval of the increase in the Company's authorized
common stock. If such approval is not received, the Agreement will terminate and
the Company will be obligated to repay the proceeds received. As a result, the
Company recorded such proceeds in other current liabilities.

                                       8

6.       Stockholders' equity

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2004, 29,608 shares of common stock
were issued as a result of employees exercising stock options at exercise prices
ranging from $0.025 to $0.06 per share. The Company also issued 40,000 shares of
its common stock at $ 0.095 per share as payment for services rendered.

7. Stock-Based Compensation

The Company uses the intrinsic value method in accounting for its employee stock
options in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." Under the intrinsic value method,
when the exercise price of employee stock option equals or exceeds the market
price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense is
recognized. Stock option awards which are granted at less than fair market value
result in the recognition of deferred compensation. Deferred compensation is
shown as a reduction of stockholders' equity and is amortized to operating
expenses over the vesting period of the stock award. The Company had no deferred
compensation at June 30, 2004.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation-Transition and Disclosure of an Amendment of SFAS No. 123" and
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 ("SFAS No. 123"),
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," require the disclosure of certain
information as if the Company had adopted the fair value provisions of SFAS No.
123. The table below illustrates the effect on net loss and net loss per share
had the Company adopted the fair value provisions of SFAS No. 123 using the
following assumptions for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2004
and 2003, respectively: risk-free interest rates of 3.0% and 3.0%; volatility
factors of the expected market price of the common stock of 1.004 and 0.950; and
an expected life of the option of 4 years.

8. Net loss per share

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss available to
common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by
dividing the net loss for the period by the weighted average number of common
and potential common shares outstanding during the period if their effect is
dilutive. Potential common shares are comprised of outstanding employee stock
options, outstanding warrants and outstanding preferred stock issuable upon the
exercise of the stock option, warrant or preferred stock. The potential common
shares issuable under stock options, warrants and preferred stock to purchase
common shares have been excluded for the three and six month periods ending June
30, 2004 and 2003 respectively, from the diluted calculation because the effect
of such shares would have been anti-dilutive.

                                       9
<PAGE>

At June 30, 2004, the Company had outstanding options to purchase 2,379,234
shares of common stock (with exercise prices ranging from $0.025 to $8.50 per
share), 2,991,479 outstanding warrants to purchase 2,991,479 shares of common
stock (with exercise prices from $0.06 to $1.02 per share), and 3,510,333 shares
of common stock issuable upon conversion of Series G convertible preferred
stock. The exercise price and the ultimate number of shares of common stock
issuable upon exercise of outstanding options and warrants and conversion of the
Series G convertible preferred stock are subject to adjustments based upon the
occurrence of certain future events.

10. Contingencies

The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise in the normal
course of business. The Company cannot assure that it would prevail in such
matters nor can it assure that the Company would have sufficient funds available
to satisfy any adverse judgement. Due to the inherent uncertainties of
litigation, were there any such matters, the Company would not be able to
accurately predict their ultimate outcome. As of June 30, 2004, there were no
current proceedings or litigation involving the Company that the Company
believes, if judgement were rendered against the Company, would have a material

Overview

The Company designs, manufactures, sells and services image-directed,
computer-controlled robotic software and hardware products for use in orthopedic
and neurosurgical procedures.

In 1997, the Company acquired a 100% interest in a French company, Innovative
Medical Machines International, S.A. ("ISS-SA"), involved in the manufacturing
and servicing of neurosurgical products.

Under French law, a company whose net assets are less than 50% of its capital
stock may come under the supervision and control of a regional administrative
tribunal. On September 30, 2003 the Tribunal de Commerce (the "Tribunal") in
Lyon, France determined that ISS-SA met the criteria for it to appoint an
administrator to manage the Company's operations. The Tribunal acted after a
hearing in which the Company and ISS-SA discussed the ability of ISS-SA to meet
its obligations over the next four months and the Company's unwillingness to
further fund its operations due to ISS-SA's history of operating losses. The
Tribunal authorized the administrator to manage ISS-SA's operations pending a
review of ISS-SA's operations and cash flow projections. Subsequent to its
appointment, the administrator exercised control over all aspects of ISS-SA's
operations including employee retention, purchasing, sales and inventory
management. As a result, effective with the administrator's appointment, the
Company no longer had access to the assets, personnel or records of ISS-SA.

On October 30, 2003, representatives of the Company met with the Tribunal to
review the status of ISS-SA. At that meeting, the Tribunal determined that
ISS-SA was making progress in improving its financial position and scheduled
another meeting for December 2003. Prior to such meeting, the Tribunal
reevaluated its decision to allow ISS-SA to continue operating and caused the
assets and operations of ISS-SA to be sold, effectively terminating ISS-SA's
operations on December 23, 2003. The Company recorded a loss of $1,516,519 in
connection with the liquidation of the Company's investment in ISS-SA and
closure of the Company's European operation in the fourth quarter of 2003.

The Company's revenue consists of product revenue, product development revenue,
parts and consumables and service revenue.

Product revenue consists of the Company's principal orthopaedic product, the
ROBODOC(R) Surgical Assistant System ("ROBODOC"), which integrates the
ORTHODOC(R) Presurgical Planner ("ORTHODOC") with a computer-controlled robot
for use in joint replacement surgeries. Also included in product revenue for the
first and second quarters of 2003 are sales of the NeuroMate(TM) System
("NeuroMate"), which consists of a computer-controlled robotic arm, head
stabilizer, presurgical planning workstation and proprietary software used to
position and precisely hold critical tools during stereotactic brain surgery.
The Company develops specialized operating software for several implant
manufacturing companies. These implant manufacturers contract with the Company
for the development of particular lines of new prosthesis software to be used
with the ROBODOC system. Fees for these services are recorded as product
development revenue as earned.

The Company offers a one-year warranty for parts and labor on all ROBODOC
systems generally commencing upon the completion of training and installation.
In most cases, the Company's customers purchase a service contract, which
includes warranty coverage (parts and labor), unspecified product maintenance
updates, customer support services and various consumables required during
surgical procedures. Customers not covered by warranties or service contracts
are billed on a time and materials basis for service, and on a per unit basis
for products. Revenue related to maintenance and service contracts is recognized
ratably over the duration of the contract.

Results of Operations

For the three-month period ending June 30, 2004, net revenue decreased
approximately 76% or $1.5 million when compared to the three-month period ended
June 30, 2003. Cost of revenue for the same three-month comparative periods
decreased 82% or $1.2 million which resulted in a decrease in the gross margin
of 57% or $0.3 million. Operating expenses decreased during the three-month
period ending June 30, 2004 compared to the same three-month period of 2003 by
25% or $0.2 million, with an operating loss of approximately $455,000 and net
loss of $456,000 as compared to an operating loss of $409,000 and net loss of

                                       11
<PAGE>

$355,000, respectively, for the same three-month comparative periods. For the
six-month period ending June 30, 2004, net revenue decreased 75% or $3.7 million
when compared to the six-month period ended June 30, 2003. Cost of revenue for
the same six-month comparative periods decreased 82% or $2.6 million which
resulted in a decrease in the gross margin of 62% or $1.1 million. Operating
expenses decreased during the six-month period ending June 30, 2004 compared to
the same six-month period of 2003 by 33% or $0.7 million, with an operating loss
of approximately $710,000 and net loss of approximately $712,000 as compared to
an operating loss of approximately $282,000 and net loss of approximately
$185,000 respectively for the same six-month comparative periods.

Net Revenue

Net revenue of $1.9 million for the second quarter of 2003 decreased to $0.5
million for the second quarter of 2004. This 76% decrease for comparative
quarters is primarily due to the loss of $0.9 million in net revenue generated
by the Company's European operations, that were liquidated during the fourth
quarter of 2003. The remaining reduction in revenue in the second quarter of
2004, when compared to the second quarter of 2003, was primarily the result of a
$450,000 decrease in product development revenue due to decreases in the number
of projects and development activity that the Company's non-European operations
were involved in. During the second quarter ending June 30, 2003 revenue on one
Robodoc and two Neuromates's was recognized while revenue of only one
refurbished Robodoc was recognized during the second quarter ended June 30,
2004.

Net revenue decreased 75% from $5.0 million during the first six-months of 2003
to $1.2 million during the first six months of 2004. The decrease in net revenue
was primarily due to the elimination of $2.6 million in net revenue generated by
the Company's European operations, which were liquidated in December 2003. The
remaining reduction of $1.2 million in revenue in the first six months of 2004,
when compared to the first six months of 2003, was primarily due to a decrease
of $0.9 in product development revenue as a result of decreases in the number of
projects and development activity that the Company's non-European operations
were involved in. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2003 the Company
had recognized revenue on four ROBODOC systems and four NeuroMate systems while
only two ROBODOC systems were sold for the same six-month period of 2004. Both
of the ROBODOC systems in 2004 were previously returned units, which were
recorded in inventory at a zero dollar value, and have a lower average selling
price when resold.

Cost of revenue

Cost of revenue decreased 82% from $1.5 million during the second quarter of
2003 to $0.3 million during the second quarter of 2004. The decrease in cost of
revenue was primarily due to the elimination of $0.7 million in cost of revenue
generated by the Company's European operations, which were liquidated during the
fourth quarter of 2003. The remaining reduction of $0.5 million in cost of
revenue in the second quarter of 2004, when compared to the second quarter of
2003, was primarily the result of the sale of one refurbished unit, and a
reduction in the amount of general and administrative expenses allocated to the
Company's manufacturing activities due to its cost reduction programs. Cost of
revenue for the six-month period ended June 30, 2004 decreased 81% to $0.6
million from $3.1 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2003. The
decrease in the cost of revenue was primarily due to the elimination of $1.8
million in cost of revenue attributable to the Company's European operations.
The remaining reduction in cost of revenue during the six-month period ending
June 30, 2004, when compared to the cost of revenue for the same period of the
prior year, was primarily due to the decreases in the number of units shipped.

Gross margin increased from approximately 24% for the three-month period ending
June 30, 2003 to 43% for the three-month period ending June 30, 2004 and
increased from 37% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2003 to 55% for the
six-month period ending June 30, 2004. This increase for the three and six-month
periods in 2004 was due to the higher margins the Company enjoyed on the sale of
refurbished units.

Operating expenses

Total operating expenses have continued to decline as a result of the Company's
cost reduction program and the liquidation of its European operations. Selling
and general administrative expenses are comprised of salaries, commissions,
travel expenses and costs associated with trade shows as well as the finance,
legal and human resources departments and professional support fees for these
functions. Selling and general administrative expenses for the three-month
period ending June 30, 2004 decreased approximately 50% to $0.3 million from
$0.6 million for the three-month period ending June 30, 2003. Selling and
general administrative expenses for the six-month period ending June 30, 2004
decreased 50% to $0.7 million from $1.4 million for the six-month period ending
June 30, 2003. The primary factor causing such decreases in selling, general and

                                       12
<PAGE>

administrative expense is the liquidation of the Company's European operations
which accounted for $0.2 million and $0.4 million of the decrease for the three
and six-month periods ended June 30, 2003 respectively. The remaining decrease
in selling and general administrative expense for the three-month period ending
June 30, 2004 is due to a reduction in commission expense resulting from lower
sales volume. In addition to the decrease in commission expense, selling and
general administrative expense decreased in the six-month period as a result of
reduced headcount.

Research and development expenses are comprised of the engineering and related
costs associated with the development of innovative image-directed
computer-controlled robotic products for surgical applications, along with
specialized operating software and hardware systems to support these products,
quality assurance and testing. Research and development expenses increased
approximately 14% to $0.3 million during the three-month period ending June 30,
2004. The increase for the three-month period ended June 30, 2004 is related to
$125,000 in grant funding recorded by the Company as a reduction of research and
development expense during the three-month period ended June 30, 2003. Without
such grant funding, research and development expenses would have decreased by
$82,000 or 20%. After giving effect to the $125,000 in grant funding research
and development expenses for the six-month periods of June 30, 2004 and 2003 on
a comparative basis remained relatively flat. The $125,000, received in April
2003 was the final payment under a grant from the National Institute for
Standards and Technology of the United States Department of Commerce ("NIST").
Under the terms of the NIST grant, the Company was entitled to reimbursement for
certain of the expenses incurred in connection with the development of its
revision hip surgery product. As of December 31, 2003, the Company had received
a cumulative total of approximately $1,221,000 in funding from NIST since 1995.
The Company has recorded the proceeds from the NIST grant as a reduction of its
research and development expenses.

During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2003, the Company recorded
$53,000 and $97,000 of other income (expense), net, respectively, primarily as
the result of favorable foreign currency exchange rates for that three-month
period and six-month periods respectively. The Company was not affected by
foreign currency exchange rates during the first quarter and second quarter of
2004.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the
reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, the
Company evaluates the estimates, including those related to bad debts,
inventories, impairment of assets, warranties, contingencies and litigation. The
Company bases these estimates on historical experience and on other assumptions
believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the
basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities
that are not readily apparent from other sources. The Company's management has
discussed these critical accounting policies with the audit committee of the
Company. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different
assumptions or conditions.

The Company believes the following critical accounting policies affect the
Company's more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of
the condensed consolidated financial statements:

     The Company recognizes revenue from sales of its products upon the
     completion of equipment installation and training at the end-user's site,
     except when the sales contract requires formal customer acceptance.
     Equipment sales with contractual customer acceptance provisions are
     recognized as revenue upon written notification of customer acceptance,
     which generally occurs after the completion of installation and training.
     Furthermore, due to business customs in Japan and the interpretation of
     Japanese law, all equipment sales to Japanese customers are recognized
     after customer acceptance, which generally occurs after the completion of
     installation and training. Revenue related to maintenance and service
     contracts is recognized ratably over the duration of the contracts.

                                       13
<PAGE>

     The Company periodically evaluates the need for allowances for doubtful
     accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of the Company's
     customers to make required payments. If the financial condition of its
     customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability
     to make payments, additional allowances may be required.

     Where the Company's products are not covered by separate service
     agreements, the Company reserves against the estimated cost of product
     warranties at the time revenue is recognized. The warranty obligation is
     affected by product failure rates, material usage and service delivery
     costs incurred in correcting a product failure. Should actual product
     failure rates, material usage or service delivery costs differ from these
     estimates, revisions to the estimated warranty liability would be required.

     The Company writes down inventory for estimated obsolescence or
     unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between the cost of
     inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about
     future demand and market conditions. If actual market conditions are less
     favorable than those the Company projected additional inventory write-downs
     may be required.

     Property, plant and equipment are amortized over their useful lives. Useful
     lives are based on estimates of the period that the assets will generate
     revenue. Property and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever events
     or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset
     may not be recoverable.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The cash position of the Company is inadequate and the Company has not yet
identified sources of sufficient cash to assure continuing operations. The
reports of the Company's independent auditors on the 2003 and 2002 consolidated
financial statements included explanatory paragraphs stating that there is
substantial doubt with respect to the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern. The Company has a plan to address these issues, which the Company
believes will enable the Company to continue operations through June 30, 2005.
This plan includes obtaining additional equity or debt financing, increasing
sales of the products in existing markets, increasing sales of system upgrades,
and reducing operating expenses as necessary. Although the Company believes that
the plan will be realized, there is no assurance that these events will occur.
In the event that the Company is unsuccessful, it is possible that the Company
will cease operations or seek bankruptcy protection. The June 30, 2004 condensed
consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the
uncertainties related to the recoverability and classification of assets or the
amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from an inability of
the Company to continue as a going concern.

At June 30, 2004 the Company's "quick ratio" (cash and accounts receivable
divided by current liabilities), a conservative liquidity measure designed to
predict the Company's ability to pay bills, was only 2%. It has been difficult
for the Company to meet obligations, including payroll, as they come due, and
the Company expects this situation to continue through its December 31, 2004
calendar year. Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $264,000
for the six-month period ended June 30, 2004. This primarily resulted from a net
loss of $712,000, an increase in accounts receivable of $11,000, an increase in
inventory of $41,000, and a decrease in unearned income of $509,000 which were
partially offset by increases in accounts payable of $370,000 and an increase in
accrued payroll and related expenses of $536,000 and $103,000 of other current
liabilities.

At June 30, 2004, the Company had amounts due to the executive officers of the
Company of approximately $1,027,000, in the aggregate, in the forms of an
interest bearing advance, deferred salaries and unreimbursed travel expenses. Of
such amounts, $357,000, $276,000 and $93,000 are included in accrued payroll and
related expense and accounts payable and accrued liabilities, respectively, due
to Ramesh C. Trivedi, president and chief executive officer of the Company;
$102,000, $33,000 and $48,000 are included in accrued payroll and related
expense and accounts payable and accrued liabilities, respectively, due to
Leland Witherspoon, vice president of engineering of the Company; $76,000,
$4,000 and $38,000 are included in accrued payroll and related expense, accounts
payable and accrued liabilities, respectively, due to Charles J. Novak, chief
financial officer of the Company.

                                       14
<PAGE>

To obtain funding for the Company's ongoing operations, the Company entered into
a securities purchase agreement (the "Agreement") with an accredited investor on
June 15, 2004 with respect to the sale by the Company for aggregate
consideration of $150,000 of (i) a convertible debenture in the principal amount
of $150,000 and (ii) warrants to purchase 1,500,000 shares of Company common
stock. The Company is obligated to register under the Securities Act for resale
by the investor the common stock underlying the debenture and warrants.

The investor provided the Company with a $200,000 consideration as follows:

     o    $100,000 was disbursed to the Company on June 15, 2004;

     o    $50,000 was disbursed to the Company on October 19, 2004; and

     o    $50,000 has been retained for disbursement to various professionals in
          payment for services to be provided to the Company.

The convertible debenture bears interest at 6 3/4%, matures two years from the
date of issuance, and is convertible into Company common stock, at the
investor's option. The convertible debenture is convertible into the number of
shares of Company common stock equal to the principal amount of the debenture
being converted multiplied by 11, less the product of the conversion factor
multiplied by ten times the dollar principal amount of the debenture being
converted. The conversion factor for the convertible debenture is the lesser of
(i) $0.25 or (ii) eighty percent of the average of the five lowest volume
weighted average prices during the twenty (20) trading days prior to the
conversion. Accordingly, there is in fact no limit on the number of shares into
which the debenture may be converted. In addition, the investor is obligated to
proportionately exercise, concurrently with the submission of a conversion
notice by the selling stockholder, the warrants. The warrants are exercisable
into 1,500,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share.

The investor has contractually agreed to restrict its ability to convert or
exercise its warrants and receive shares of Company common stock such that the
number of shares of common stock held by it and its affiliates after such
conversion and exercise does not exceed 4.9% of the then issued and outstanding
shares of Company common stock.

The issuance of more than 51.5 million shares of common stock pursuant to this
agreement would require the Company to issue shares of common stock in excess of
the Company's authorized capital. The Company intends to seek stockholders
approval to increase the Company's current authorized common stock from
100,000,000 to 300,000,000 shares. Such solicitation will be made pursuant to a
proxy statement conforming to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB should not be
considered, in any manner, a solicitation for voting in favor of such an
increase in authorized stock.

The issuance of the convertible debenture and warrants to the investor is
contingent upon stockholder approval of the increase in the Company's authorized
common stock. If such approval is not received the Agreement will terminate and
the Company will be obligated to repay the proceeds received. As a result, the
Company recorded such proceeds in other current liabilities.

     Item 3. Controls and Procedures

(a) Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including
the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer,
an evaluation was made of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls
and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based upon that evaluation, the
President and Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded
that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the
end of the period covered by this quarterly report.

(b) There has been no change in the Company's internal control over financial
reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2004 that has materially affected,
or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control
over financial reporting.

Part II. Other Information

     Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise in the normal
course of business. The Company cannot assure that it would prevail in such
matters nor can it assure that the Company would have sufficient funds available
to satisfy any adverse judgement. Due to the inherent uncertainties of
litigation, were there any such matters, the Company would not be able to
accurately predict their ultimate outcome. As of June 30, 2004, there were no
current proceedings or litigation involving the Company that the Company
believes if judgement were rendered against the Company, would have a material
adverse impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

     Item 2. Changes in Securities

During the second quarter of 2004, the Company issued a total of 69,608 shares
of common stock of which 29,608 was issued to former employees upon exercise of
stock options and the other 40,000 was issued to an independent contractor as
payment for services rendered. The issuance of stock to the independent
contractor was recorded as an expense during the second quarter of 2004.
