ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.
================================================================================
INTRODUCTION
Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms "we", "our" and "us" refers to
i-Track, Inc.
BACKGROUND
We are a development stage company that was incorporated by AVL Information
Systems Ltd. and its principal officers and directors. AVL Information Systems
Ltd. is a Canadian public company that owns and licenses certain technology and
automatic vehicle location systems. AVL Information Systems Ltd. has incurred
significant operating losses over the past six fiscal years and has a working
capital deficiency which casts doubt upon its ability to continue as a going
concern. AVL Information Systems Ltd. and its principal officers and directors
incorporated us in an effort to start anew and to take advantage of what they
perceived to be the benefits of a United States publicly traded company. They
believe that a U.S. publicly traded company will provide a level of credibility
in the automatic vehicle location system industry, access to additional funding
in the U.S. markets, and the ability for us to enter into strategic alliances
for the development, manufacturing and sale of automatic vehicle location
systems.
Effective September 30, 2001, we entered into a Worldwide Exclusive Distribution
Agreement with AVL Information Systems Ltd., covering all of the products
manufactured by AVL Information Systems Ltd., including the Spryte System(TM)
and the Chaperone Personal Tracking Unit. These products are automatic vehicle
location systems that integrate Global Positioning System technology,
cellular-wireless communications and the Internet to enable companies to
efficiently manage their mobile resources with location-relevant and
time-sensitive information. These products are designed to enable customers to
use the Internet to track the movement of their vehicles, employees, and goods
and services. While there are several ways to transmit information from a
vehicle to a central location, we believe these products provide significant
value to customers by reducing their costs of doing business and increasing the
productivity of their mobile resources.
INDUSTRY BACKGROUND
GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM TECHNOLOGY. Most location-aware applications today
rely upon Global Positioning System (GPS) technology. GPS technology is based on
a system of more than 24 satellites that transmit longitude, latitude, altitude
and time information to GPS receiving and processing devices anywhere in the
world. Because of improvements in GPS receiver technology and reductions in the
cost of GPS enabling components, there has been a proliferation of GPS devices
for commercial applications. We believe the significant areas of growth include
vehicle positioning and navigation, mobile computing devices, and wireless
telephones and portable recreational
2
receivers. Due to the worldwide automotive industry, we expect vehicle location
and navigation to be one of the most promising areas of future deployment of GPS
technology.
CELLULAR-WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS. Rapid technology advances in wireless
communications are enabling companies and individuals to efficiently manage
their mobile resources with location-relevant and time-sensitive information.
Wireless communications has grown due to declining usage costs, the
proliferation of wireless telephones and mobile computing devices, expanding
network coverage and the integration of enhanced features such as voice and text
messaging. We believe that as global wireless coverage increases and broadband
wireless transmission technologies are deployed, more users will be able to
access more data over wireless networks, which will facilitate their access to
information and business applications on the Internet.
INTERNET. The Internet has emerged as a global communications medium to deliver
and share information and to conduct business electronically. The growth in the
number of Internet users has led to the proliferation of information and
services available on the Internet, including e-commerce, e-mail and other
content. Businesses and individuals are using the Internet as a medium for
managing business-critical functions, household items, finances, customer
relationships and communication. We expect businesses and individuals to conduct
an increasing amount of activity over the Internet.
THE SPRYTE SYSTEM(TM)
The Spryte System(TM) is an automatic vehicle location system owned by AVL
Information Systems Ltd. The Spryte System(TM) is designed for the commercial
carrier, and allows a fleet manager, at its base station, to simultaneously view
the location, operational status and event-based indicators of each fleet
vehicle on a digitized computer map display. The information is displayed in
real-time. The platforms of the Spryte System(TM) include a menu of status
indicators which represent the event-based nature of the system. The status or
event-based indicators include a variety of vehicle conditions, such as the
ignition, speed, sirens, emergency lights, excessive speed, collision, vehicle
problems and duress. We believe that event-based indicators will allow a fleet
manager to assemble and adapt its vehicle resources for optimum deployment as
well as respond in a timely manner to delay and unforeseen situations.
The Spryte System(TM) has three software modules: the listener, mapping and
server modules, which collaborate with one another to analyze and present the
status of a vehicle to the fleet manager. The listener module collects data
transmission from various vehicles in a fleet, interprets the information, and
delivers the information to the server module. The mapping module consists of
commercially available software that displays the most current maps of the fleet
manager's area of activity, including roads, highways, street names and address
locations. The mapping module also accommodates map edits and updates, as well
as geographic analyses such as point-to-point distance and distance traveled.
With the assistance of the listener and mapping modules, the server module
displays, in real-time, the location of each vehicle on the map, together with
the current status of the event-based indicators. The Spryte System(TM) also
allows the customer to store and archive the information. This allows a fleet
manager to analyze historical vehicle movement patterns to achieve more
efficient results and/or to use the information to calculate performance
metrics.
The Spryte System(TM) accommodates all three traditional mediums of
communication from a vehicle to the base station: satellite, mobile radio and
cellular. The Spryte System(TM) has the ability to switch automatically from one
medium to another if the signal strength of a medium degrades. We believe the
communication redundancy capability should provide added assurance for our
potential customers.
We believe that the event-based approach will give customers an advantage over
the conventional method of polling each vehicle periodically according to a
routine schedule. We believe the conventional method is cost prohibitive,
ineffective, and fails to report critical events. We believe the event-based
communication uses airtime for data transmission more efficiently, and will
accommodate four times more vehicles than the standard polling approach. Also,
the event-based communication appears to have the ability to combine polling
functions, if needed, with event-based monitoring to meet the demand of our
potential customers.
3
THE CHAPERONE PERSONAL TRACKING UNIT
The Chaperone Personal Tracking Unit is designed for consumers who do not
require real-time tracking or event-based communication, but instead desire to
know where a vehicle is at any point in time. The Chaperone Personal Tracking
Unit utilizes similar technologies as the Spryte System(TM), but only identifies
location-relevant information. We believe that the simplicity and lower price of
the Chaperone Personal Tracking Unit will be ideal for a family or individual
consumer.
The platform of the Chaperone Personal Tracking Unit is designed to be equipped
with a GPS receiver as well as a Cellemetry modem. The Cellemetry communications
network is a low-cost form of cellular communication that currently provides
coverage for 98% of North America. Cellemetry provides low-cost cellular
communication by using the overhead control channels of the cellular networks to
convey short, data messages.
The Chaperone is 4 x 2 x 1.2 inches in size and contains a 12-channel GPS
satellite receiver and a proprietary communications transceiver. Placing on the
dashboard of a vehicle and plugging it into the lighter socket can install the
unit. Alternatively, it can be installed to a vehicle hotwire. The GPS receiver
and transceiver components acquire the location, speed, and direction of the
unit being tracked. This information is then transmitted wirelessly and logged
into the Online Vehicle Tracking system for further use. The user can locate the
vehicle via the Internet by logging onto www.whereismycar.com. The Chaperone
currently works in the United States, Canada, and parts of Mexico and South
America.
Recent enhancements to the Chaperone include the implementation of an emergency
button, geo-fencing, crash sensor, and power control management. We expect to
have a monitoring center, operating 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, operational
during the second quarter of this year.
A unique trailer-tracking version of the Chaperone unit is under prototype
development. This version would allow a company to track its trailers while they
are hooked to the tractors and, more importantly, while they are sitting idle
without a tractor power supply. We expect to release the prototype for testing
to a fleet in April 2002 and announce results 30 days thereafter. Infea Corp has
supplied the radio modem being used for testing.
WORLDWIDE EXCLUSIVE DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT WITH AVL INFORMATION SYSTEMS LTD.
We do not own any proprietary or technological right to the Spryte or Chaperone
products. Effective September 30, 2001, we entered into an exclusive worldwide
distribution agreement with AVL Information Systems Ltd. Under the agreement, we
are licensed to market and distribute all of the products manufactured by AVL
Information Systems Ltd.
PROTECTION OF TECHNOLOGY
Under the distribution agreement, we are required to protect the proprietary
information licensed to us. We will rely on a combination of trade secret,
trademark and copyright laws, and nondisclosure and other contractual
agreements. We intend to enter into nondisclosure agreements with our employees,
consultants, distributors and corporate partners and limit access to and
distribution of all proprietary information. It may be possible for a third
party to misappropriate or infringe on the proprietary information licensed to
us. Third parties may also independently discover or invent competing
technologies or reserve engineer our trade secrets, software or other
technology. In addition, foreign countries may treat the protection of
proprietary rights differently from, and may not protect proprietary rights to
the same extent as, the laws of the U.S. Therefore, the measures we take to
protect the proprietary rights licensed to us may not be adequate.
KEY ALLIANCES AND RELATIONSHIPS
At this time, our only key alliance is with AVL Information Systems Ltd. AVL
Information Systems Ltd. is an affiliate of our company and became our
controlling shareholder by accepting shares of common stock in exchange for
funds advanced. Some of our officers and directors are also officers and
directors of AVL Information Systems
4
Ltd. AVL Information Systems Ltd. and a common director have provided
substantially all of our funding, and they are assisting us in discussions with
third parties concerning possible strategic alliances.
At this time, we rely entirely upon our relationship with AVL Information
Systems Ltd. and our distribution agreement with AVL Information Systems Ltd.
Our dependence upon AVL Information Systems Ltd. has made us vulnerable to
changes in its operations. AVL Information Systems Ltd. has incurred significant
operating losses over the past six fiscal years and has a working capital
deficiency which casts doubt upon its ability to continue as a going concern.
The financial position of AVL Information Systems Ltd. and its prior operating
history may have a negative effect on our intended operations. If we are unable
to develop other key relationships, we may suffer material and adverse
consequences.
We intend to establish relationships with a number of other companies to
facilitate the implementation of the distribution agreement and to accelerate
the marketing and sale of the Spryte and Chaperone products. We believe that
establishing other strategic relationships will facilitate our business and
provide access to emerging technologies and customers. We intend to establish
relationships with existing companies engaged in the automatic vehicle location
industry, wireless carriers, manufacturers, distributors, and Internet
companies. One such company that we have signed as a distributor is Vision
Wireless of Beaumont, Texas, a cell phone activation company. We cannot give you
any assurance that we will be able to develop or maintain other strategic
alliances.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
At this time, we do not develop automatic vehicle location systems and related
technology. We have not spent any money on research and development.
MANUFACTURING
At this time, we do not manufacture the Spryte or Chaperone products and related
technology. AVL Information Systems is responsible for all manufacturing
functions. AVL has recently reached an agreement with Numerex Corp. of Atlanta,
Georgia, which owns the Cellemetry communications system used by the Chaperone
units. Since Numerex has an interest in having Chaperone units sold, it agreed
to advance the funds necessary for manufacturing by Swemco Inc. of New Jersey,
with repayment to come after sale of the units. After delivery of the units from
Swemco, AVL programs and tests the units.
SALES AND MARKETING
We will market the Spryte and Chaperone products in the U.S. and internationally
to shipping and delivery companies, other fleet operators, rental car companies,
railroad and transportation companies, government agencies and municipalities,
and private motor vehicle owners. We anticipate using marketing activities to
establish and build and our name recognition. We intend to use a variety of
target marketing communications techniques to achieve this, such as public
relations programs, advertising, industry and consumer promotions, Internet
advertising, and co-marketing and co-branding with wireless carriers. We
anticipate achieving our marketing objective by establishing a network of
strategic partners. We may also develop a direct sales force to call on
potential customers with large fleets and work with wireless carrier partners
and independent sales agents to increase our customer base.
We estimate that Vision Wireless has purchased 500 units through April 15, 2002.
We are trying to obtain other distributors.
COMPETITION
We compete with companies that offer the ability to obtain location-relevant
information about their mobile resources. We also compete with alternative means
of communication between vehicles and their managers or owners, including
wireless telephones, two-way radios, and pagers. We expect competition to
increase.
5
Within each of our markets, we face competition from public and private
companies as well as our potential customers' in-house design efforts. OmniTRACS
is a service from Qualcomm that uses satellite communications technology to
manage fleets of trucks that travel extended distances between urban areas,
referred to as long-haul trucking. Other potential competitors include wireless
Internet companies, such as Aether Systems, Phone.com and Research in Motion,
companies working on emergency working on emergency-911 solutions, such as
TruePosition, companies with solutions that integrate locations, wireless
communications, and call centers, such as General Motors, and companies that
provide wireless, location-relevant applications such as SignalSoft and At Road
Inc.
We compete primarily on the basis of price, ease of use, functionality, quality
and geographic coverage. Due to our small size, it can be assumed that most if
not all of our competitors have significantly greater financial, technical,
marketing and other competitive resources. Our competitors may be able to
respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer
requirements than we can. In addition, our current and potential competitors may
bundle their products in a manner that may discourage users from purchasing our
products. Also, our competitors and potential competitors may have greater name
recognition and more extensive customer bases that could be leveraged, for
example, to position themselves as being more experienced, having better
products, and being more knowledgeable than us. To compete, we may be forced to
offer lower prices and narrow our marketing focus, resulting in reduced
revenues, if any.
EMPLOYEES
We have no employees at this time. AVL Information Systems provides us with
manpower through a Management Services Agreement. We intend to implement the
distribution agreement with AVL Information Systems Ltd. through the services of
our officers and directors, and by retaining consultants and independent
contractors. We intend to create relationships and retain consultants and
contractors with established connections in the telecommunication and
application service provider industries. We foresee that compensation would be
commission based. Depending upon the market acceptance of the Spryte and
Chaperone products, we may hire employees in the foreseeable future.
ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
================================================================================
We do not own properties and at this time have no agreements to acquire any
properties.
Our corporate headquarters are located in Fort Gratiot, Michigan, where we
occupy these offices pursuant to an agreement with our affiliate, AVL
Information Systems Ltd. We believe that our current facilities are adequate to
meet our needs at this time. See Item 12. Certain Relationships and Related

OVERVIEW
We were incorporated in the state of Nevada on March 8, 1999 by AVL Information
Systems Ltd. and its principal officer and directors. AVL Information Systems
Ltd. is a Canadian public company that owns and licenses certain technology and
automatic vehicle location systems. Effective September 30, 2001, we entered
into an exclusive worldwide distribution agreement with AVL Information Systems
Ltd. Under the agreement, we are licensed to market and distribute all of the
products manufactured by AVL Information Systems Ltd.
We are filing this amended annual report to include the restated 2001 financial
statements. The financial statements previously filed included as assets
$1,289,761 of notes receivable and $14,415 of accrued interest receivable from
our loans to AVL Information Systems Ltd. and its subsidiary. The financial
condition of AVL Information Systems Ltd. and its subsidiary have deteriorated
since March 7, 2002 to the point that management does not believe that either
related party can repay the receivables. Accordingly, the December 31, 2001
financial statements have been adjusted to reflect the notes receivable and
accrued interest receivable as uncollectible and the previously reported net
loss of $16,251 has increased by $1,304,176.
In addition, the 2001 financial statements included a $14,359 accounts
receivable where management discovered the goods were returned by the customer
to AVL Information Systems Inc. Therefore, the accounts receivagle and sales
were reduced by $14,359 and the note receivable from AVL Information Systems
Inc. was increased by $12,000.
The discussion below is based on the restated financial statements.
We are in the development stage and have generated minimal revenues. We have a
deficit accumulated during the development stage of $1,369,902 as of December
31, 2001. We have suffered losses from operations and require additional
financing. Moreover, we are dependent upon AVL Information Systems Ltd. and its
subsidiary to provide all of our products and management services. Because of
the uncertainty of AVL Information Systems Ltd. to continue as a going concern
to supply these products and services, there is substantial doubt about our
ability to continue as a going concern. While we are investigating the
acquisition of the U.S. subsidiary of AVL Information Systems in partial
satisfaction of the debt, we cannot assure you that this acquisition will occur
or that it will eliminate this doubt about our ability to continue.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
We generated our first revenues of $60,000 during fiscal 2001. Cost of goods
sold, as a percentage of revenues, was 85.6%. General and administrative
expenses increased slightly from $32,087 in 2000 to $34,165 in 2001, an increase
of 6.5%. In addition, we incurred management fees of $7,500 in 2001 that were
not incurred in 2000. We expensed the amounts loaned to AVL Information Systems
Ltd. and its subsidiary and the accrued interest on those loans as bad debt, as
we do not believe that the loans will be repaid. As a result, we incurred a net
loss of $1,334,786 for the year ended December 31, 2001, as compared to $32,087
for the year ended December 31, 2000.
LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
For the year ended December 31, 2001, we used cash of $30,141 in our operations,
which was offset by net cash provided by financing activities of $28,334. Our
public offering and the exercise of warrants resulted in net proceeds of
$250,095. In comparison, during fiscal 2000, we used cash of $29,992 in
operations, which was offset by $34,000 provided by financing activities.
At December 31, 2001, we had cash of $2,672, and a working capital deficiency of
$1,107.
We loaned funds to AVL Information Systems and its subsidiary to enable those
entities to get the Chaperone units to market more quickly. Through December 31,
2001, we had orders for approximately 5,000 units of the Chaperone unit, and
through March 31, 2002, we had orders for approximately 9,500 units. We estimate
sales of approximately $175,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2002. However,
sales at these levels are not sufficient
8
to cover our operating expenses or to engage in the type of marketing campaign
that we need to pursue. As explained above, We are not expecting repayment from
AVL during the current fiscal year. Accordingly, we will have to pursue funding
from external sources through a line of credit arrangement and/or the sale of
debt and/or equity securities. We cannot assure you that we will be successful
in these pursuits.
PLAN OF OPERATION
At this time, we intend to establish relationships with a number of other
companies to accelerate the implementation of the distribution agreement and the
sale of the Spryte and Chaperone Systems(TM). We believe that our status as a
U.S. publicly traded company will assist us in establishing strategic alliances
because of our perceived level of credibility and access to capital in the U.S.
markets. We intend to establish relationships with existing companies engaged in
the automatic vehicle location industry, wireless carriers, manufacturers,
distributors, and Internet companies. We intend to create relationships and to
retain consultants and contractors with established connections in the
telecommunication and application service provider industries. We foresee that
the compensation would be commission based. Depending upon the market acceptance
of the Spryte and Chaperone Systems(TM), we may hire employees in the
foreseeable future.
We believe that establishing a network of alliances, while not a small task, can
be accomplished in a shorter period of time and at less cost than building a
comparable direct sales infrastructure. It is our priority to establish a
channel partner network in the U.S. and Canada, and recruit international
channel partners as opportunities present themselves.
We expect to generate revenues by selling the Spryte and Chaperone Systems(TM)
at cost plus margin. We believe the amount of margin will vary depending on the
time, expense, and size of sale.
We do not expect to purchase any significant equipment during the next twelve
months, nor do we expect to hire a significant number of employees during that
time period. We expect to finance our objectives through the proceeds of this
offering.
ITEM 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
================================================================================
Please refer to the pages beginning with F-1.
ITEM 8. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND
FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
Effective October 5, 2001, we changed our independent auditors from Stark Winter
Schenkein & Co., LLP, f/k/a Stark Tinter, & Associates, LLC, Denver, Colorado,
to Edward, Melton, Ellis, Koshiw & Company, P.C., Troy, Michigan. The change was
not related to the competence, practices and procedures of Stark Winter
Schenkein & Co., LLP.
We believe that it will be more convenient and cost effective for us to retain
auditors with offices located in the State of Michigan. Stark Winter Schenkein &
Co, LLP does not maintain offices in the State of Michigan, and we identified
Edward, Melton, Ellis, Koshiw & Company, P.C. as independent auditors with
offices in Troy and Ann Arbor, Michigan. Our board of directors has approved the
engagement of Edward, Melton, Ellis, Koshiw & Company, P.C.
Stark Winter Schenkein & Co., LLP audited our financial statements for the
period March 9, 1999 (inception) to December 31, 1999 and the year ended
December 31, 2000. Stark Winter Schenkein & Co., LLP's reports for such periods
did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were the
reports qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting
principles, except for our ability to continue as a going concern. There were
9
no disagreements with Stark Winter Schenkein & Co., LLP on any matter of
accounting principles or practices, financial statements disclosure, or auditing
scope procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of
Stark Winter Schenkein & Co., LLP, would have caused such firm to make reference
to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its report on our
financial statements. In addition, there were no such events as described under
Item 304 of Regulation S-B during the period March 9, 1999 (inception) to
December 31, 1999 and the year ended December 31, 2000, or through and to
October 5, 2001.

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
Our officers and directors are associated with other firms involved in a range
of business activities. Consequently, there are potential inherent conflicts of
interest in their acting as our officers and directors. Insofar as our officers
and directors are engaged in other business activities, we anticipate they will
devote only a minor amount of time to our affairs.
Our officers and directors are now and may in the future become shareholders,
officers or directors of other companies which may be formed for the purpose of
engaging in business activities similar to those conducted by us. Accordingly,
additional direct conflicts of interest may arise in the future with respect to
such individuals acting on our behalf or other entities. Moreover, additional
conflicts of interest may arise with respect to opportunities which come to the
attention of such individuals in the performance of their duties or otherwise.
We do not currently have a right of first refusal pertaining to opportunities
that come to our attention insofar as such opportunities may relate to our
business operations.
Our officers and directors are subject to the restriction that all opportunities
contemplated by us which come to their attention, either in the performance of
their duties or in any other manner, will be considered opportunities of, and be
made available to us and the companies that they are affiliated with on an equal
basis. A breach of this requirement will be a breach of the fiduciary duties of
the officer or director. If we or the companies in which the officers and
directors are affiliated with both desire to take advantage of an opportunity,
then said officers and directors would abstain from negotiating and voting upon
the opportunity. However, all directors may still
12
individually take advantage of opportunities if we should decline to do so.
Except as set forth above, we have not adopted any other conflict of interest
policy with respect to such transactions.
We do not have any standing audit, nominating, or compensation committees of our
board of directors.

STOCK OPTION PLAN
On February 15, 2002, the board of directors adopted the 2002 Stock Plan, which
provides for the direct awarding or sale of shares and the granting of both
qualified and non-qualified stock options, to officers, directors, employees,
and independent contractors. The shareholders must still adopt this plan. The
total number of shares of common stock that may be issued under this plan shall
not exceed 15% of shares outstanding.
The board of directors or a committee designated by the board administers this
plan, and has the authority and discretion to do the following:
o interpret the plan and apply its provisions;
o adopt, amend, or rescind rules, procedures, and forms relating to
the plan;
o authorize persons to execute, on our behalf, any instrument
required to carry out the purposes of the plan;
o determine when shares are to be awarded or offered for sale and
when options are to be granted under the plan;
o select the offerees and optionees;
13
o determine the number of shares to be offered to each offeree or to
be made subject to each option;
o prescribe the terms and conditions of each award or sale of shares;
o prescribe the terms and conditions of each option;
o amend any outstanding stock purchase agreement or stock option
agreement;
o prescribe the consideration for the grant of each option or other
right under the plan and determine the sufficiency of such
consideration; and
o take any other actions deemed necessary or advisable for the
administration of the plan.
We may award or offer shares for sale at not less than 85% of the then current
bid price, subject to special forfeiture conditions, rights of repurchase,
rights of first refusal, and other transfer restrictions as may be determined by
the board or committee. Any offers for sale are nontransferable and must be
exercised within 30 days after the grant of such right.
We may grant qualified stock options with the exercise price being 100% of the
bid price on the date of grant, and non-qualified stock options with the
exercise price being not less than 85% of the bid price on the date of grant.
The options are subject to any vesting, special forfeiture conditions, rights of
repurchase, rights of first refusal, and other transfer restrictions as may be
determined by the board or committee. Options granted to any optionee in a
single calendar year cannot exceed 5% of the outstanding shares and cannot
exceed a term of 5 years. The options terminate upon the earliest of (1) the
stated expiration date, (2) 30 days after the termination of the optionee's
service for any reason other than total and permanent disability, (3) 90 days
after the termination of the optionee's service by reason of total and permanent
disability, (4) 6 months after the optionee's death, or (5) immediately if the
optionee voluntarily terminates his/her employment.
Outside directors may participate in the plan only to be extent of receiving
non-qualified stock options with the exercise price being 100% of the bid price
on the date of grant. These options would terminate upon the earliest of (1) the
fifth anniversary from date of grant, or (2) two months after the termination of
the director's service for any reason.
Unless earlier terminated by the board of directors, this plan will terminate
February 19, 2007. We have awarded or offered any shares or granted any options
under this plan as of April 15, 2002.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
Shareholders and Board of Directors
i-Track, Inc.
Fort Gratiot, Michigan
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of i-Track, Inc. (a development
stage company) as of December 31, 2001, and the related statements of
operations, stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the year ended
December 31, 2001 and the periods March 8, 1999 (inception) to December 31,
2001. 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 audit. The financial statements of i-Track, Inc. as of
December 31, 2000 and for the year ended December 31, 2000 and the periods March
8, 1999 (inception) to December 31, 2000, were audited by other auditors whose
report dated January 21, 2001, on those financial statements included an
explanatory paragraph describing conditions that raised substantial doubt about
the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
We conducted our audit in accordance with U.S. generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards 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. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit 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 i-Track, Inc. as of December
31, 2001 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended
December 31, 2001 and the periods March 8, 1999 (inception) to December 31, 2001
in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 7 to the
financial statements, the Company is dependent upon AVL Information Systems,
Ltd. and AVL Information Systems, Inc. for purchase of materials it sells,
provision of management services and the repayment of amounts loaned at December
31, 2001. Those conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue
as a going concern. Management's plans regarding those matters are also
described in Note 7. The financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
F-3
Shareholders and Board of Directors
i-Track, Inc.
Page 2
As discussed in Note 9, our opinion on the financial statements at December 31,
2001 as previously stated was qualified because we were unable to satisfy
ourselves regarding the collectibility of $1,289,761 of notes receivable from
related parties included as assets at December 31, 2001. Since the date of our
auditors report, March 7, 2002, the financial condition of AVL Information
Systems, Ltd. and AVL Information Systems, Inc. have deteriorated and these
related parties have been unable to repay the notes receivable or the accrued
interest receivable. Accordingly, the December 31, 2001 financial statements
have been adjusted to reflect the notes receivable and accrued interest from
related parties as uncollectible.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a. NATURE OF BUSINESS
i-Track, Inc. (formerly AVL SYS International, Inc.), "the Company"
was incorporated under the laws of the state of Nevada on March 8, 1999.
The Company has been in the development stage since its formation. The
Company is primarily engaged in the marketing and distribution of an
automatic vehicle location system which integrates global positioning
system technology, cellular-wireless communications and the internet to
enable companies to manage their mobile resources with location relevant
and time sensitive information. The automatic vehicle location system has
been developed by AVL Information System, Ltd., and its wholly owned
subsidiary AVL Information System, Inc. AVL Information Systems, Ltd. is
the majority shareholder of the Company and determines the prices of the
products purchased by the Company.
b. REVENUE RECOGNITION AND ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
The Company grants credit to customers and does not require
collateral for credit granted. The Company recognizes revenue when its
products are delivered or services are provided. The Company had two
sales of products purchased from AVL Information Systems, Inc. to two
customers in 2001. Based upon an analysis of the collectibility of
accounts receivable at the balance sheet date, the Company does not
consider an allowance for doubtful accounts to be necessary at December
31, 2001.
c. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original
maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
d. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market
assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of
December 31, 2001. The respective carrying value of certain
on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values.
These financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable and
accounts payable. Fair values were assumed to approximate carrying values
for these financial instruments because they are short term in nature and
their carrying amounts approximate fair values or they are receivable or
payable on demand. As discussed in Note 4, the fair value of the notes
receivable from related parties of $1,289,761 at December 31, 2001 is
dependent upon the future ability of AVL Information Systems, Ltd. and
AVL Information Systems, Inc. to continue as going concerns and generate
sufficient future cash flows to repay the notes receivable. As discussed
in Note 9, management subsequently determined after March 7, 2002 that
these note receivables were not collectible and restated the December 31,
2001 financial statements to reflect the uncollectibility of these notes
receivable at December 31, 2001.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
e. NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE
The Company calculates net income (loss) per share as required by
SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share." Basic earnings (loss) per share is
calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per
share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average
number of common shares and dilutive common stock equivalents
outstanding. During the periods presented common stock equivalents were
not considered as their effect would be anti-dilutive.
Common shares issued for nominal consideration have been considered
outstanding for the historical period presented in the computation of
earnings per share.
f. 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 amounts reported in the financial statements
and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
g. BASIS FOR ASSIGNING AMOUNTS TO EQUITY SECURITIES ISSUED FOR OTHER THAN
CASH
Shares of common stock issued for other than cash have been assigned
amounts equal to the fair value of the services or assets received in
exchange.
2. COMMON STOCK OFFERING
During 2001, the Securities and Exchange Commission approved Form
SB-1/A to offer 2,500,000 units of 2,500,000 shares of common stock and
2,500,000 common stock purchase warrants for $.10 per unit. The offering
resulted in the 2,500,000 units being issued for $250,000. 2,496,900 of
the common stock warrants to purchase common stock for $.50 per share
were exercised in 2001. The common stock proceeds of $1,498,450 were used
by the Company as follows:
Payment of expenses for commissions
and fees associated with the stock issuance $ 148,355
Loans to AVL Information Systems, Ltd. 971,678
Loans to AVL Information Systems, Inc. 88,450
Working capital 289,967

2. COMMON STOCK OFFERING (continued)
A portion of the proceeds for working capital was used to make
additional loans to AVL Information Systems, Ltd. and AVL Information
Systems, Inc.
3. INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income taxes under Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109 (FAS 109), "Accounting for Income Taxes", which
requires use of the liability method. FAS 109 provides that deferred tax
assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the tax
bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial
reporting purposes, referred to as temporary differences. Deferred tax
assets and liabilities at the end of each period are determined using the
currently enacted tax rates applied to taxable income in the periods in
which the deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be settled or
realized. The deferred tax asset of $460,900 is offset by a valuation
allowance of $460,900 at December 31, 2001 because it is not more likely
than not to be realized due to the going-concern uncertainty.
The provision for refundable income taxes differs from the amount
computed by applying the statutory federal income tax rate to the loss
before provision for income taxes. The Company's estimated effective tax
rate of 34% is offset by a reserve due to the uncertainty regarding the
realization of the deferred tax asset. The valuation allowance increased by
approximately $448,900 for the year ended December 31, 2001.
As of December 31, 2001 the Company has a net operating loss carry
forward of approximately $1,355,000, which will be available to offset
future taxable income. If not used, this carry forward will expire through
2021. The deferred tax asset relating to the operating loss carry forward
has been fully reserved at December 31, 2001.
4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company has a note receivable of $986,378 due from AVL Information
Systems, Ltd. at December 31, 2001. The note receivable is unsecured with
interest at 8% per annum and is due on demand. The Company also has a note
receivable of $303,383 due from AVL Information Systems, Inc. at December
31, 2001. The note receivable is unsecured with interest at 8% per annum and
is due on demand.
As discussed in Note 9, the December 31, 2001 financial statements have
been restated as a result of the inability of these related parties to repay
the $1,289,761 of notes receivable and $14,415 of accrued interest
receivable previously reported as assets.

5. MANAGEMENT SERVICES AGREEMENT
The Company has a management services agreement with AVL Information
Systems, Ltd. for the provision of services including manpower, supplies and
premises for $2,500 per month. The agreement can be cancelled by either
party with 30 days written notice. Management fees under this agreement
amounted to $7,500 for the year ended December 31, 2001. Since the Company
has no employees and all management decisions concerning sales, purchases
and operations are controlled by individuals who are stockholders and
employees of AVL Information Systems, Ltd. there is a potential conflict of
interest.
6. DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENTS
The Company has a worldwide exclusive distribution agreement for
products manufactured by AVL Information Systems, Inc. that is effective for
as long as the Company meets certain performance criteria.
7. GOING CONCERN
The Company has been a development stage company since its inception on
March 8, 1999 and has incurred significant losses since inception. The
Company is dependent upon AVL Information Systems, Ltd. and its subsidiary
to provide all of its products sold and to supply management services.
Because of the uncertainty of AVL Information Systems, Ltd. to continue as a
going concern to supply these products and services and to generate
sufficient cash flow to repay the $1,289,761 of notes receivable, there is
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern.
The accompanying financial statements do not include an adjustment that
might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
8. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
The Board of Directors adopted a Stock Plan in February, 2002 to grant
stock options to officers, directors, employees and independent contractors.
The stockholders of the company have not approved adoption of the Plan.
9. RESTATEMENT OF DECEMBER 31, 2001 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The financial statements at December 31, 2001 as previously stated
included as assets the $1,289,761 notes receivable and $14,415 of accrued
interest receivable discussed in Note 4. The financial condition of AVL
Information Systems, Ltd. and AVL Information Systems, Inc. have
deteriorated since March 7, 2002 to the point that management does not
believe either related party can repay the receivables. Accordingly, the
December 31, 2001 financial statements have been adjusted to reflect the
notes receivable and accrued interest receivable as uncollectible and the
previously reported net loss of $16,251 increased by $1,304,176.
In addition, the financial statements at December 31, 2001 included a
$14,359 accounts receivable where management discovered the goods were
returned by the customer to ALV Information Systems, Inc. Therefore,
accounts receivable and sales were reduced by $14,359 and the note
receivable from AVL Information Systems, Inc. was increased by $12,000.
