ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
The Registrant is engaged in the development, manufacture, sale and marketing of its UC'NWIN System, an in-store interactive informational solutions software program designed to be furnished to corporations in the US, UK, Europe and Asia, the system is delivered through interactive kiosks and websites on the Internet. Corporations use the registrant's software programs and delivery systems to disseminate catalogs, product information, promotional offers, to collect and collate consumer research data and provide a direct communications link with consumers. The software programs are designed to serve as sales driving, value added vehicles that will build consumer loyalty to manufacturer and retailer and thus increase overall sales. UC'NWIN's exclusive merchandising system is believed by management to provide a significant competitive advantage for participating retailers.
The registrant through its wholly owned U.S. subsidiary, UC'NWIN Systems, Inc., has licensed the worldwide rights (except for the United States) to Winners All Ltd., to manufacture or lease the UC'NWIN system. By agreement dated December, 1994 and as subsequently amended in June, 1995, the registrant through its wholly owned U.S. subsidiary, UC'NWIN Systems, Inc. and Winners All Ltd. (a wholly owned subsidiary of Winners All International, Inc.) created WIN Network, LLC., ("WinNet") a limited liability company, registered under the laws of the State of New York, to exploit the UC'NWIN system. The registrant and Winners All Ltd. contributed the tangible and intangible rights to the UC'NWIN System (other than those sub-licensed to Winners All Asia Pacific) with the registrant owning 51% of WinNet and Winners All Ltd. owning the remaining 49%.
Reference is made to Item 1, pages 1-14 of Form 10 of the registrant, as amended, SEC File # 0-22954, for full information concerning the registrant's entire business history, which is incorporated herein by reference.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
The Board of Directors of registrant and the Board of Directors of Winners All International, Inc., a Delaware corporation the shares of which are traded on NASD Bulletin Board, ("Winners All") announced an agreement in principle to combine the two companies on the basis of one share of common stock of Winners All to be issued to registrant's shareholders for each outstanding share of common stock of registrant. Winners All (NASD (BB)-"WINA") is the parent of Winners All Ltd., the licensee of the worldwide rights (except for the United States) for the registrant's UC'NWIN Systems. The joint announcement cited a reduction of overhead expenses, combining of research and development costs and the elimination of inter-company license fees as significant factors contributing to the decision to combine. The proposed merger did not take place at that time but negotiations have continued.
Under an agreement made as of December 1, 1994, and as subsequently amended in June 1995, the registrant's subsidiary, UC'NWIN Systems, Inc. (the "Subsidiary") and Winners All Ltd. (an Isle of Jersey corporation all the shares of which are owned by Winners All) formed WIN Network, LLC ("WinNet") a limited liability company under the laws of the State of New York to minimize operation costs and maximize the exploitation of the UC'NWIN System. The Subsidiary and Winners All Ltd. contributed the tangible and intangible rights to the UC'NWIN System (other than those sub-licensed to Winners All Asia Pacific) the Subsidiary owns 51% of WinNet with Winners All Ltd. owning the remaining 49%. Winners All Ltd. has agreed to contribute to WinNet upto $5,000,000 of capital of which $3,182,000 has been received. These contributions started being funded in January 1995.
In December 1995, the registrant acquired 5,825,000 shares of common stock of Winners All, or 41% of the outstanding common stock, these shares of common stock were acquired by issuing one share of common stock of the registrant for four shares of common stock of Winners All. At March 31, 1996 the market price of such stock was $0.09 per share. In January, 1996, the Company acquired another 825,000 shares of common stock in Winners All International, Inc. for 206,250 shares of common stock in the Company. The Joint Venture is governed by a four member executive committee consisting of three representatives of the Subsidiary who are directors of the Subsidiary and one representative of Winners All, Ltd. who is a director of Winners All. A management committee of four (consisting of four members of the executive committee) shall manage day to day operations. The executive committee serves at the pleasure of and is accountable to the members of the Joint Venture (the Subsidiary and Winners All Ltd.) and is elected by the unanimous vote of the members.
During March 1995, WinNet had commenced the placement of 137 kiosks for a joint promotion with Shell Oil Company. The promotion included planning and advertising for multiple household name products on behalf of manufacturers. WinNet has since received a strong interest from such advertisers for continuing similar promotional efforts for a fee. WinNet is aggressively pursuing signing advertising contracts with these manufacturers and other interested parties. Additionally, WinNet has received significant interest in supplying kiosks and software programs for a proprietary system and networks under long term lease contracts. Additional promotional efforts are being negotiated with multi-national companies in the United Kingdom and Europe for the use of the UC'NWIN system. Aside from Royalty income of $531,346 and $583,332 for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993 respectively, the registrant has not generated any other revenues from the UC'NWIN System. Such royalty revenues have ceased pursuant to the WinNet agreement as above indicated. Also, WinNet has initiated discussions with financial institutions to secure financing for the manufacturing of kiosks related to the leasing of proprietary systems and networks.
WinNet has retained counsel to research the legal implications surrounding WinNet's purchases of Common Stock in Winners All International, Inc.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
(1) On January 18, 1996 Jerome Schulman ("Schulman"), sued the registrants wholly owned subsidiary, UC'NWIN Systems, Inc., ("the Company"), as well as Lynx Development Corporation ("Lynx"), in the United States District for the Southern District of Florida. The original action was dismissed by the Court sua sponte, for failure to allege sufficient jurisdictional allegations. Thereafter on February 20th, 1996, Schulman refiled the action in the same Court. Schulman has brought a four count Complaint suing the company for fraud in the inducement, breach of promissory note and civil theft. Schulman has also sued Lynx separately for breach of guaranty of the promissory note. The Company and Lynx filed a motion to Dismiss and Motion to Strike which has been fully briefed by the parties and is pending before the Court. All of Schulman's claims are premised upon the alleged failure to pay a $200,000 promissory note upon maturity and failure to provide certain warrants and shares in the Company. No discovery has yet been conducted but the Company believes there are meritorious defenses and counter claims arising out of the conduct of Schulman in connection with his acquisition of Company stock. Also, the Company is exploring a method by which the claim can be amicably resolved.
(2) On March 22, 1996, Raymond Kalley, as Trustee of the EB Trust and the PB Trust, ("Plaintiff"), sued UC'NWIN Systems Corporation ("the Company") in the Southern District Court for the Southern District of Florida (Miami Division). In this five count Complaint, Plaintiff has sued the Company for an alleged violation of Section 18 of the Securities Act of 1934 (15U.S.C.78r). Plaintiff alleges that the Company acting singly and in concert, filed misleading reports under the Securities Exchange Act 1934, including without limitation, the filing of form 10-K. Plaintiff failed to identify which form 10-K was allegedly misleading or how Plaintiff has been damaged by this alleged misleading statement. Although Plaintiff alleges that it purchased stock in the Company, from another shareholder in a private transaction unbeknown to the Company, for approximately $1,000,000, Plaintiff does not identify the damage that it allegedly incurred. The Company believes this lawsuit is without merit and intends to defend this lawsuit vigorously and expects to file a Motion to Dismiss Plaintiff's Complaint no later than May 6, 1996.
(3) On April 17, 1995 AG Industries, ("Plaintiff"), sued Winners All International, Inc., ("Win"), and UC'NWIN Systems, Inc., ("the Company") for a breach of contract and causes of action for unjust enrichment and breach of implied contract. AG Industries seeks damages in excess of $400,000. On August 22, 1995 the Company filed a Motion to Dismiss and Alternative Motion for a Change of Venue. AG Industries has responded and opposed the defendants' motion but the Court has not yet ruled on it. There has been no discovery and it is too early to evaluate this case.
(4) On January 9th, 1996 a former employee, ("the Plaintiff"), filed a Charge of Discrimination, ("Charge"), against UC'NWIN Systems, Inc. and Win Network LLC., ("the Company"), with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ("EEOC"). The Plaintiff voluntarily resigned her position with the Company in October 1995 and waited four months to file her claim. The Company has filed a statement of position denying the allegations of the Charge. At the present time, the EEOC is investigating the charge and will ultimately make determinations of "cause" or "no cause". At this time the Company is unable to predict the likelihood of a favorable or unfavorable result in this matter.
(5) On July 3rd, 1995 Brian A. Travis, an ex-officer of Win Network LLC and Winners All International, Inc. files an action against Win Network LLC to enforce a purported Employment Agreement which he claims was entered into between Win Network LLC and Mr Travis in which Mr Travis claims he is entitled to a ten year employment term with damages of $10,000,000. Mr Travis also sued Winners All International, Inc. as a purported guarantor. Win Network LLC is comprised of UC'NWIN Systems, Inc., a subsidiary of UC'NWIN Systems Corporation and Winners All Ltd, a subsidiary of Winners All International, Inc. On March 5th, 1996 both defendants filed a motion to dismiss the Travis action on the grounds that the purported Employment Agreement violated applicable provisions of the New York Limited Liability Corporation Law, the Win Network LLC Operating Agreement and the Winners All International, Inc. by-laws.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
CURRENT OPERATIONS
The registrant's business activity is designing, developing, marketing and producing hardware and software for a computerized inter-active media marketing program known as "The UC'NWIN System". It is the intention of management to lease these systems, or otherwise place systems in locations and obtain advertising revenues from a wide variety of businesses. In 1992, the registrant licensed the worldwide rights to manufacture and lease the UC'NWIN System, exclusive of the United States, to Winners All Ltd. ("WIN") a wholly owned subsidiary of Winners All International, Inc., which subsequently granted an exclusive sub-license for certain Pacific Rim countries to Winners All Asia Pacific. The registrant is continuing to market its UC'NWIN system, although, with the exception of royalties of $531,346 and $583,332, no leases or advertising revenues have been received for the year ended 1994 and 1993, respectively. In 1995 the Company received $178,770 of rental and service revenues relating to the UC'NWIN System.
In December 1994, WIN and UC'NWIN Systems, Inc., a subsidiary of the registrant created Win Network, LLC ("WinNet"), a limited liability company to exploit the UC'NWIN System. WIN and UC'NWIN Systems, Inc. contributed to WinNet the tangible and intangible rights to the UC'NWIN System (other than those sub-licensed to Winners All Asia Pacific). WIN owns 49% of WinNet and UC'NWIN Systems, Inc. owns the remaining 51%. Since its formation, WinNet has lost $178,246 of which $90,905 has been shown as a loss of WIN. WIN has agreed to contribute upto $5,000,000 of capital to WinNet, of which $3,182,000 has been received, contributions started being funded in January 1995.
WIN has ceased paying royalties pursuant to the WinNet arrangement.
During March 1995, WinNet commenced the placement of 137 kiosks for a joint promotion with shell Oil Company, and during September 1995 WinNet commenced the placement of 35 kiosks for Ignis Ltd in the United Kingdom promoting Gallaher Tobacco products. WinNet has since received strong indications of interest from advertisers for continuing similar promotional efforts for a fee. WinNet is aggressively pursuing advertising contracts with these manufacturers and other interested parties. Additionally, the registrant is developing additional software programs and kiosk delivery systems in the United States for BellSouth Mobility, in the United Kingdom for Ignis Ltd. promoting Gallagher Tobacco, and Total Oil (GB) Ltd. and in Asia for Allied Domeq. WinNet has received income of $178,770 up to December 31, 1995 and is receiving significant interest from corporations in leasing software programs and kiosks for proprietary systems and networks under long term contracts i.e. contracts under which the manufacturer has exclusive rights to the program. Additional negotiations are being undertaken with multi-national companies in the United States, United Kingdom, Europe and Asia for the use of the UC'NWIN System.
Aside from royalty income of $531,346 and $583,332 for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993 respectively, and the $178,770 in 1995 the registrant has not generated any other revenues from the UC'NWIN System. Such royalty revenues have ceased pursuant to the WinNet agreement as above indicated.
The registrant recognized a gain on the WinNet arrangement of $1,739,475 pursuant to Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 68 "Accounting for sales of stock by a subsidiary", for the increase in the carrying value derived from the direct sale of equity in a subsidiary, of which Winners All Ltd. contributed capital of $3,182,075.
Operating expenses, for the year ended December 31, 1995, of $5,213,490 increased by $3,689,781 from the prior year. Operating and administrative expenses increased to $3,534,208 for the year ended December 31, 1995 from $1,202,525 for the year ended December 31, 1994 primarily due to increased professional fees and the increased payroll and related benefit costs after the formation of the joint venture. Advertising and marketing costs increased to $512,449 for the year ended December 31, 1995 from $275,789 from the year ended December 31, 1994. Additionally, the registrant increased the research and development costs to $102,000 for the year ended December 31, 1995 from $0 for the year ended December 31, 1994 primarily to produce software programs to be delivered on the World Wide Web and the Internet.
Operating expenses, for the year ended December 31, 1994, of $1,523,709 basically remained the same from the prior year. Operating and Administrative expenses increased to $1,202,522 for the year ended December 31, 1994 from $ 885,829 for the year ended December 31, 1993 primarily due to the increased payroll and related benefit costs before the formation of the Joint Venture and the write-down of inventory for $130,000. Professional fees remained the same; approximately $440,000. The registrant reduced the advertising and marketing costs to $275,789 for the year ended December 31, 1994 from $448,471 for the year ended December 31, 1993 due to the decreased use of advertising consultants. Additionally, the registrant eliminated research and development costs, primarily due to formation of WinNet.
Operating expenses, for the year ended December 31, 1993, amounted to $2,336,371. Out of its total operating expenses, the registrant incurred expenses of $447,002 for professional fees, $843,764 for depreciation and amortization, $158,307 for research and development, and $448,471 for expenses involving promotion, introduction, marketing, feasibility analysis, and advertising costs relating to the marketability of the UC'NWIN Systems.
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Effective January 1992, Management decided to discontinue the operations of its former business activity of outbound automated telephone marketing and polling services. All associated costs of disposal have been reclassified as discontinued operations. During this period, restrictive legislation had the effect of causing the registrant to discontinue commercial advertising. During 1991 and 1990 the registrant made several unsuccessful attempts to sell the machines to overseas purchasers.
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY
The registrant's working capital decreased to a $1,617,825 working capital deficiency, primarily due to the significant losses incurred during 1995. The Company has reduced its staff and overhead significantly in late 1995 and early 1996 to accommodate the limited working capital of the Company.
The registrant's working capital liquidity improved at December 31, 1994 to $2,118,670 as opposed to $671,754 at December 31, 1993, primarily due to the recognition of a $3,182,750 capital contribution to WinNet by Winners All Ltd. These monies were received by March 20, 1995. The registrant has since spent the $3,182,950 for the funding of operations, the promotional (Shell) roll-out described earlier and the purchase of certain assets including kiosks. The registrant is actively pursuing various financing alternatives to fund operations and future expansion efforts, including additional funding pursuant to Winners All Ltd.'s agreement to fund the operations of WinNet and discussions with financial institutions to secure financing for the manufacturing of kiosks related to the sale or lease of proprietary systems.
The registrant has continued merger negotiations with Winners All International, Inc. parent company of Winners All, Ltd. Winners All International, Inc.'s shares are traded on NASD (BB) under symbol "WINA". Although negotiations are continuing, no assurances can be given that such negotiations will result in a merger. Such a merger would minimize corporate overhead, administrative expenses and better utilize the working capital resources of the two companies for the promotion and development of the UC'NWIN System. The Company has acquired a 46% interest in Winners All International, Inc. At December 31, 1995 the cash position of the registrant increased to $14,304 from ($3,772).The change in cash is attributable to cash provided by operating activities of $178,770 and cash provided by financing activities of $2,000,000 including increase in debt.
At December 31, 1994 the cash position of the registrant decreased to ($3,772) from $48,879. The change in cash is attributable to cash expended by operating activities of $2,017,649, cash provided by financing activities of $681,558 including increase in debt of $596,955 sales of equity of $84,603 and cash provided by investing activities of $1,283,490. The foregoing takes into account an increase of minority interest of $1,583,918, sale of investments of $800,569 and acquisition of capital assets of $1,100,997.
At December 31, 1993 the cash position of the Company decreased to $48,879 from $1,100,071. The change in cash is attributable to cash provided by operating activities of $122,323, cash expended of $124,087 in financing activities including retirement of related party obligations of $257,710, sales of equity of $133,623 and cash expended of $894,033 in investing activities. The foregoing takes into account the acquisition of short-term investment of $300,509, acquisition of capital assets of $93,464, and the election by the registrant to exercise its stock option and acquire 400,000 shares of Winners All, Ltd. for $500,000.

LETTERHEAD OF MAZARS AND COMPANY LLP
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
Board of Directors UC'NWIN Systems Corporation (formerly known as UC'NWIN Systems, Ltd.) Fort Lauderdale, FL.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of UC'NWIN Systems Corporation (formerly known as UC'NWIN Systems Ltd.), (a development stage company) as of December 31, 1995, and the related consolidated statements of stockholder's equity (deficit), operations, and cash flows for the year ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We did not audit the statement of operations or cash flows for the period January 1, 1992 (reorganization) to December 31, 1994, which has been included in cumulative operations from January 1, 1992 (reorganization) to December 31, 1995, although we have audited the combination of such amounts. Those statements were audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for UC'NWIN Systems Corporation is based solely on the report of the other auditors.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
The Company has recorded the investment in Winners All International, Inc., which represents 41% of the public entity on the cost method (see Note 6), which should be recorded on the equity method in order to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Based on the July 31, 1995 financial statements of Winners All International, Inc., the investment in Winners All International, Inc., would be reduced by approximately $475,000 if the equity method were used to account for such investment after excluding the related investment in Win Network LLC which may have a significantly lower value.
In our opinion, except for the effect of not recording the investment in Winners All International, Inc. on the equity basis as discussed in the preceding paragraph, the consolidated financial statements
referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of UC'NWIN Systems Corporation as of December 31, 1995, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 1995, in conformity with 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 1 to the financial statements, the Company has defaulted on debt payments, has a negative working capital of $1.6 million, and suffered recurring losses from operations that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
As described in Note 20, the Company has been named in a number of lawsuits, many of which are potentially material. The ultimate outcome of the Company's aforementioned lawsuits can not be reasonably determined at the present time.

ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS
UC'NWIN Systems Corporation (the "Company") formerly known as UC'NWIN Systems Ltd. was a publicly held Canadian corporation which reincorporated as a Delaware corporation on December 11, 1995 in the United States.
The Company's principal business activity is designing, developing, marketing and producing hardware and software for a computerized inter-active media marketing program known as "The UC'NWIN System". The Company is currently marketing the UC'NWIN System in the United States and the United Kingdom.
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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The Company's financial statements have been presented on the basis that it is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
The Company has incurred significant losses in the last three years, has a negative working capital of $1.6 million, and recently defaulted on repayments of debt. Accordingly, the Company's continued existence is dependent upon the Company developing sales and resolving its liquidity problem.
Management is actively pursuing equity and/or debt financing. This includes, among other things, the exercise of common stock warrants outstanding as described in Note 6, or a rights offering with the existing common stockholders and warrant holders.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 1995 include the financial statements of the Company, UC'NWIN Systems, Inc. and Win Network, LLC, a 51%-owned subsidiary (see Note 4). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Furniture and Equipment
Machinery and equipment are recorded at historical cost. Depreciation of machinery and equipment is provided on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets.

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT'D.)
Kiosks
Depreciation of fully operational UC'NWIN Systems, also known as operating kiosks, begins upon the commencement date of the kiosks being placed in service, using the straight-line method over 36 months. The Company placed in service the UC'NWIN Systems in March 1995 and accordingly commenced depreciating such assets.
Intangible Assets
The legal costs incurred in obtaining patents are being amortized over their statutory lives (17 years) on a straight line basis.
Purchased computer software is stated at historical cost. Amortization is computed using the straight-line method based on the estimated life of the related product (generally 3 years).
Reclassification
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation.
Income Taxes
The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities based on the differences in carrying value of fixed assets, goodwill, warranty and bad debt allowance for financial and income tax reporting purposes.
As of December 31, 1995, the Company had unused net operating loss carryforwards, of approximately $11,700,000 available to offset future taxable income, which if not used, will expire commencing in the year 1998 through 2010. The recognition of the $1,739,475 increase in equity from WinNet is not a taxable event, therefore an income tax provision is not required for the year ended December 31, 1994. The Company is not current with its corporate income tax filings
UC'NWIN SYSTEMS CORPORATION (FORMERLY UC'NWIN SYSTEMS, LTD) (A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS THREE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995
NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT'D.)
For 1995, due to the significant losses incurred by the Company and the likelihood that deferred tax assets, arising from temporary differences, will not reverse in the foreseeable future, management has decided not to record a deferred tax asset of $3,700,000 and related valuation account of $3,700,000.
Recapitalization
The Company reorganized itself form a Canadian Corporation to a Delaware Corporation, accordingly the financial statements reflect the retroactive application of such reorganization.
NOTE 2: CONVERSION FROM CANADIAN GAAP TO UNITED STATES GAAP
The financial statements of the Company were reported utilizing Canadian generally accepted accounting principles "Canadian GAAP" through September 30, 1995, since the Company was based in Canada. Since the Company exited Canada in November 1995, the Company has amended its prior financial statements prepared on a Canadian GAAP included herein to a United States generally accepted accounting principles basis.
The fundamental difference in accounting between the two countries relates to the acquisition of computer software and development technology (and the related amortization of such software) acquired through the issuance of common stock. Under U.S. GAAP the computer software had a historical cost estimated at $10,000. A reconciliation of the adjustment is as follows:

NOTE 2: CONVERSION FROM CANADIAN GAAP TO UNITED STATES GAAP (CONT'D.)
NOTE 3: DEVELOPMENT STAGE OPERATIONS

Effective January 1, 1992, the Company reorganized operations into a new business of redesigning, developing, marketing, and producing hardware and software for a computerized inter-active media marketing program known as the "UC'NWIN System".
In December 1992, the Company licensed the worldwide marketing rights, exclusive of the United States, of the UC'NWIN System to Winner's All Ltd.
Aside from royalty income and the non-recurring sale of worldwide rights, the Company has not generated any significant current revenue from the UC'NWIN System.
NOTE 4: ESTABLISHMENT OF WIN NETWORK, LLC
In December 1994 and as subsequently amended in June 1995, the Company and Winner's All Ltd. created Win Network, LLC ("WinNet"), a limited liability company to exploit the UC'NWIN System. The Company and Winner's All Ltd. contributed the tangible and intangible rights to the UC'NWIN System (other than those sub-licensed to Winners All Asia Pacific). The Company owns 51% of WinNet with Winners All Ltd. owning the remaining 49%. Since its formation, WinNet has lost $3,800,000 of which $2,050,000 has been shown as a loss on the Company. A portion of the current years' loss recorded on the Company's books $197,918 represents losses attributed to the minority interest in excess of capital, pursuant to Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51 such losses should have be

NOTE 4: ESTABLISHMENT OF WIN NETWORK, LLC (CONT'D.)
charged against the Company, since there is no obligation of the minority interest to make good on such losses. Winner's All Ltd. had agreed to contribute to WinNet an amount necessary to achieve profitability presently estimated to be an amount not less than $5,000,000 of capital. Such contributions started being funded in January 1995. The Company has ceased receiving royalties due under the license agreement as a result of the WinNet arrangement.
Pursuant to Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 68 "Accounting for sales of stock by a subsidiary", the increase in the carrying value derived from the direct sale of equity in a subsidiary shall be reflected as a gain in the consolidated financial statements of the parent company. As a result of Winners All Ltd. capital contribution of $3,182,075 to WinNet during 1994, the Company recognized a $1,739,475 gain on the transaction.
See Note 20, regarding WinNet litigation.
