Solopoint hat sein Geschäft völlig neu ausgerichtet. Man will sich jetzt ausschließlich auf die einzigartige "Connectivity for Living"-Lösung konzentrieren. Solopoint hat das US-Kürzel "SLPT". Das in der Meldung angegebene Kürzel "SLPTC" ist nicht mehr aktuell. Das Kürzel wurde am Freitag geändert.
Die Firma wird im Moment (letzter Kurs 2,4375) mit nur 12,2 Mi.$ bewertet. Die Zahl der ausstehenden Aktien beträgt 4,981 Mi. Quelle: http://www.stockmaster.com/exe/sm/chart?co=f&m=12&ci=I%3ASPX… Für den aktuellen Kurs müßt Ihr natürlich "SLPT" eingeben.
Wenn sich die neuen Lösungen der Firma durchsetzen, wird es Kurssteigerungen von mehreren 1000% geben. Auch charttechnisch spricht alles für einen starken Anstieg.
Der Wert wird nicht in Deutschland gehandelt, kann aber über deutsche Banken in den USA über die WKN "902364" gekauft werden.
Diese kleine Firma hat das Zeug dazu, den Umgang und die Möglichkeiten der Nutzung des Internets zu revolutionieren. Die sogenannte "Connectivity for Living"-Lösung bietet ungeahnte Möglichkeiten der Nutzung und Zeitersparnis für den Kunden. Das "Active Advertising" könnte zu einem völligen Umbruch auf dem milliardenschweren Werbemarkt führen. Das "Active Advertising" macht es möglich, die Kunden direkt und gezielt mit genau auf sie zugeschnittener Werbung zu versorgen.
Am besten Ihr schaut selbst auf die Website von Solopoint: http://www.solopoint.com.
Die können ihr Konzept dort wirklich gut darstellen und erklären - viel besser als ich es hier könnte.
Meiner Meinung nach, hat man mit einem Investment in Solpoint die Chance, sich an einer Entwicklung zu beteiligen, die gigantische Chancen bietet!!!

Solopoint.com(R) Announces New Communications and Internet Content End-to-EndService Initiative Architecture Combines a Consumer Friendly CommunicationsAppliance, Local Content Rich Portal and Unique Active Advertising(TM)Technology Linked Together by Always-On Broadband Connectivity
Tue Mar 21 09:30:00 EST 2000
LOS GATOS, Calif., Mar 21, 2000 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- solopoint.com, inc.
(OTC Bulletin Board: SLPTC), a provider of advanced Internet access and
communications services for the broadband market, announced today its new
service initiative, called Connectivity for Living, that will help ISPs create
demand for broadband DSL and cable services in the residential market.
Connectivity for Living is an end-to-end solution that integrates traditional
telecommunications and messaging services, localized and personalized Internet
content and unique active advertising technology, delivered through a unique
solopoint portal connected over broadband services to special devices, called
Lifestyle appliances, located throughout the home.
The Lifestyle appliances not only provide access to local Internet content and
family information but also serve as the communications center by integrating
the functions of traditionally separate devices such as telephones, radios,
alarm clocks, calendars, intercoms and Internet Browsers. By integrating a
cordless telephone/speakerphone, a large color flat panel display and a built in
touchscreen, the Lifestyle appliance makes all manners of communications a lot
easier. The Lifestyle appliance connects to a special solopoint portal,
formatted for easy touchscreen access and specifically designed to deliver local
content and personal communications to each family member. The solopoint portal
will take advantage of the always-on, high bandwidth connectivity provided by
DSL or cable services to deliver immediate and multimedia rich information
automatically. Connectivity for Living includes a variety of communication
applications such as e-mail, voice mail, instant messaging and text and voice
chatting through the display, cordless handset or built in speakerphone. The
Lifestyle appliance is Voice Over IP (VOIP) telephony ready so as service
providers begin to offer this service consumers will be able to migrate without
added hardware costs. From news, weather and sports, to home finance, local TV
and movie listings and even audio broadcasts and music, the Lifestyle appliance
will keep every family member in touch with the world, their community and each
other. Solopoint will be licensing consumer-oriented manufacturers to produce
Lifestyle appliances so a variety of styles and feature sets will be available.
The appliances communicate with each other and the portal through the industry
standard 10 Mbps HomePNA(TM) network, using the existing home telephone wiring.
Lifestyle appliances can be located throughout the home, in the kitchen, family
room, and bedrooms. The Home PNA network connects to the solopoint portal
through always-on high-speed cable or DSL broadband services guaranteeing quick,
immediate response.
Central to the Connectivity for Living solution is solopoint`s unique Active
Advertising technology, which creates a brand new "channel" for advertising into
the home. While traditional advertising on the Internet has met with limited
success, other forms, most notably television advertising or commercials have
been successful and enjoy high revenue rates. Solopoint`s Active Advertising
technology integrates some of the key capabilities of TV commercial advertising
into its portal and Lifestyle appliances creating a new always-on, multimedia
rich, target-able commercial channel for both national and local advertisers.
"Solopoint saw an opportunity to create a new revolutionary advertising channel
into the consumer`s home that actually benefits consumers, service providers,
and local and national advertisers." said Arthur Chang, President and CEO of
solopoint. "By offering a complete communications and information delivery
solution to the end customer, supported by advanced Active Advertising
technology, solopoint is able to offer a compelling advertising revenue sharing
opportunity for service providers, which can subsidize the cost the Lifestyle
appliance as well as provide a long term sustainable revenue source."
Solopoint expects to begin offering the Connectivity for Living system in the
second half of 2000. It will be marketed to broadband service providers and ISPs
in a partnership relationship where solopoint.com manages the portal and content
and the service providers deliver the Lifestyle appliance along with their
broadband service offering. Its advanced Active Advertising technology will
provide the basis for generating high value revenues which solopoint will share
with the service providers to minimize the cost of the Lifestyle appliance to
the end consumer as well as create a sustainable revenue source for each service
provider.

Hat der 40% Anstieg am Freitag genauere Hintergründe ? Oder nur allgemeine Euphorie? Wie würdest Du am Montag limitieren?
An toothstone: Ich denke, daß der Anstieg etwas damit zu tun hatte, daß das Symbol von SLPTC auf SLPT geändert wurde. Börsianer mögen eben keine Unsicherheiten und ein fünfter Buchstabe bei einem OTC-BB Kürzel verursacht eben genau diese. Aber das it ja nun Geschichte.
Außerdem kamen die News von der neuen strategischen Ausrichtung erst vor kurzem. So etwas braucht eben Zeit sich herumzusprechen.
Es ist natürlich auch nicht ausgeschlossen, daß irgendwelche Insider gekauft haben, die vielleicht mehr wissen.
Außerdem gab und gibt es charttechnische Gründe für den Anstieg.
Bezüglich des Limits müßte ich Hellseher sein, um Dir zu etwas raten zu können. Ich würde es vielleicht bei 2 5/8 (2,625) versuchen.

Danke, ich werds heute mal probieren.
Hi stockzar!
Wir scheinen ja auf dieselben Werte zu setzen. Bin gestern noch bei 2,5 reingekommen. Jetzt schon bei 3. Kommt gut!!! Irgendwie habe ich das Gefühl, daß das erst der Anfang ist! Vom Chart her, ist da auf jeden Fall noch massig Potential.

Na, das war ja eine ziemlich schnelle und heftige Korrektur. Der Anstieg ging ja auch wirklich etwas zu schnell. Ich denke, daß die Market Maker die schwachen Hände jetzt rausgeschüttelt haben und es jezt wieder aufwärts gehen kann. Bei 2$ sollte es Unterstützung geben.
Wenn das Unternehmen seinen ersten Lizensvetrag abgeschlossen hat, wird es sowieso egal sein, ob man bei 2,3 oder 4 eingestiegen ist. Aber eine solche Korrektur macht natürlich keinem Spaß, das it nunmal Fakt.

Das Einreichen des "Annual Reports" sollte weiteres Vetrauen schaffen, da es für einen OTC-BB Wert durchaus nicht selbsverständlich ist, daß die notwendigen Papiere rechtzeitg eingereicht werden.
March 30, 2000
SOLOPOINT INC (SLPT.OB)
Annual Report (SEC form 10KSB)
MANAGEMENT`S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
The following section contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, including those referring to the period of time the Company`s existing capital resources will meet the Company`s future capital needs, the Company`s future operating results, the market acceptance of the products of the Company, the Company`s efforts to establish and maintain distribution partners, the development of new products, and the Company`s planned investment in the marketing and distribution of its current products and research and development with regard to future products. The Company`s actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including: the ability of the Company to obtain additional funding, dependence on market acceptance of multifunction personal communications management products; dependence on a limited number of customers; lack of significant sales and distribution channels; the Company`s ability to timely develop new products; business conditions and growth in the personal communications management industry and general economy; competitive factors, such as rival providers of personal communications management products and services and price pressures; compatibility with a wide variety of switching configurations; reliance on sole source contract manufacturers and component suppliers; dependence on a limited number of key personnel; rapid technological changes; as well as other factors set forth elsewhere in this Form 10-KSB.
To date, SoloPoint`s working capital requirements have been met through the sale of equity and debt securities and minimal revenues from product sales. SoloPoint has sustained significant operating losses in every fiscal period since inception and expects to incur substantial quarterly losses at least through the end of calendar year 2000 and possibly longer. The Company has insufficient cash to continue its operations beyond June 2000 at its projected level of operations. SoloPoint`s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon it successfully rasing additional equity or debt financing and, ultimately, upon achieving profitable operations. However, we cannot assure you that additional funding will be available to us on acceptable terms, if at all, or that we will achieve profitable operations.
Results of Operations
Net Revenues
Since inception, the Company`s focus has been on the design and development of personal communications management solutions for communications-dependent individuals. The Company introduced its first product, SmartCenter at the end of March 1996 and made initial shipments of its second product, SmartMonitor, at the end of September 1996. The Company recorded its initial revenues in the quarter ended June 30, 1996. The Company`s products currently have a 30-day, unconditional, money-back guarantee. We recognize revenue when our products are shipped and the 30-day money-back guarantee period has lapsed. One major customer does not have this 30 day money back guarantee and therefore revenues are recognized upon shipment. Allowances are provided for product returns based on estimated future product returns, the timing of expected new product introductions and other factors. These allowances are recorded as direct reductions of revenue and accounts receivable.
Net revenues for the year ended December 31, 1999, were $1,621,622 compared to $571,791 for the year ended December 31, 1998, a 184% increase. The increase in net revenues is mainly attributable to revenues derived from the sale of the our S-310 Caller ID/Voice Mail Manager through our reseller agreement with Cincinnati Bell.
Dependence on Key Customers
During the year ended December 31, 1999, two customers, Cincinnati Bell and Innotrac/Pacific Bell, accounted for approximately 73% and 25%, respectively, of SoloPoint`s net revenues. There can be no assurance
that such customers will continue to order similar volume of product from the Company. A significant reduction in sales volume attributable to the loss of any of the Company`s customers, or the Company`s inability to collect accounts receivable from any major customer could have a materially adverse effect on the Company`s business, financial condition and results of operations.
Gross Margin
Cost of sales, which consists mainly of product cost and inventory adjustments, was $1,810,153 or 112% of revenue for the year ended December 31, 1999, as compared to $634,141 or 111% of revenue for the year ended December 31, 1998. The high percentage of cost of sales for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 was due to increases in inventory reserves of approximately $211,000 during the fourth quarter of 1999 and $207,000 during the fourth quarter of 1998. The increase in inventory reserves during the fourth quarter of 1999 relates to the Company`s change in business strategy to the Connectivity For Living product line while the increase in the fourth quarter of 1998 relates to the Company`s change in distribution strategy and lower than anticipated sales.
Operating Expenses
Research and Development
Research and development expenses, which consist primarily of personnel related and consulting expenses, were $695,990 for the year ended December 31, 1999 as compared to $929,542 for the year ended December 31, 1998. This decrease of 25% was primarily a result of lower utilization of outside consultants and design service firms. The Company anticipates that research and development expenses may increase in the future in order to develop the Connectivity For Living future product line should the Company be successful in raising additional capital in calendar year 2000.
Sales and Marketing
Sales and marketing expenses which consist primarily of advertising, public relations, marketing communications, conferences and trade shows, travel and personnel expenses were $474,193 for the year ended December 31, 1999 as compared to $625,286 for the year ended December 31, 1998. This decrease of 24% was primarily a result of decreased expenses related to a reduction in personnel and related costs, reduced advertising and marketing efforts, and less attendance at trade shows and conferences. The Company anticipates that sales and marketing expenses may increase in the future in the event of the successful development and subsequent market launch of the Connectivity For Living future product line should the Company be successful in raising additional capital in calendar year 2000.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses which include personnel, professional services, bad debt, depreciation, and consultant expenses were $1,144,403 for the year ended December 31, 1999 as compared to $1,163,480 for the year ended December 31, 1998. This decrease of 2% was primarily a result of decreased personnel and professional services costs. The Company anticipates that general and administrative expenses may grow in absolute dollars, but may decrease as a percentage of revenue, as it adds the infrastructure necessary to accommodate expanded operations associated with the Connectivity For Living future product line should the Company be successful in raising additional capital in calendar year 2000.
Other Income (Expense)
Other income (expense) is comprised primarily of interest income on cash balances, which had been nominal until the completion of the sale of an additional 2,904,829 shares of the Company`s common stock in a private placement transaction in September 1999. The net proceeds from the private placement earned interest through investment in money market funds and high grade commercial paper. For the year ended December 31, 1999 the Company earned interest income of $42,199 compared with interest income of $108,284 for the year ended
December 31, 1998. The decrease in interest income from 1998 to 1999 of $66,085 or 61% was the result of lower average cash balances. This was offset by interest expense of $18,318 and $32,980 for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
Provision for Income Taxes
There was no provision for federal or state income taxes for the years ended December 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998 as the Company incurred net operating losses. At December 31, 1999, the Company had federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $9,800,000 and $9,300,000, respectively. The Company also had federal and state research and development tax credit carryforwards of approximately $150,000. The net operating loss and research and development tax credit carryforwards will expire at various dates beginning in 2000 through 2019, if not utilized. The utilization of the net operating losses and credits may be subject to a substantial annual limitation due to the ownership change limitations provided by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code") and similar state provisions. The annual limitation may result in the expiration of net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards before utilization.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 1999, the Company had cash, cash equivalents, and short- term investments of $2,086,262 and working capital of $1,689,113 as compared to cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments of $1,005,845 and working capital of $975,728 at December 31, 1998. The Company used cash of $1,863,935 in its operating activities for the year ended December 31, 1999. Principal uses of cash were to fund the Company`s net loss. The principal source of cash was the $3,053,125 net proceeds from the Septemeber 1999 private placement of common stock.
The Company expects to incur additional substantial losses at least through the end of calendar year 2000. The Company will need to seek additional funding during calendar 2000 in order to complete the Connectivity For Living product development and enter the Internet broadband services market. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise such additional funding. In the absence of receiving additional funding, the Company anticipates that its existing capital resources and cash generated from operations, if any, will be adequate to meet the Company`s cash requirements through June 30, 2000 at its anticipated level of operations. Failure to obtain funding would have a material adverse effect on the Company`s business, financial condition and results of operations and could force management to curtail operations, shelve planned development activities, lay off personnel, seek an acquisition partner or even cease operations. As of December 31, 1999 the Company did not have any significant commitments for capital or other expenditures.
SoloPoint`s capital requirements depend on many factors including market aceptance of its products, the amount of money it invests in research and development of new and enhanced products, the amount of money it invests in increased marketing and sales activities, the amount of inventory it carries as well as other factors. The Company received a report from its independent auditors on their audit of our financial statements as of December 31, 1999 containing an explanatory paragraph that describes the uncertainty as to the Company`s ability to continue as a going concern due to its lack of sufficient cash to meet its projected operating expenditures for the next twelve months. As noted above, the Company will need to seek additional equity or debt financing in 2000. The sale of additional equity or convertible debt securities could result in additional dilution to the Company`s shareholders. We cannot assure you that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all.
Future Operating Results
Since its inception in 1993, the Company has incurred significant losses, has had substantial negative cash flow, and has realized limited revenues. At December 31, 1999, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $17,251,238, and had incurred operating losses of $2,503,117 and $2,780,658 for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The Company expects to continue to incur substantial operating losses at least through its fiscal year ending December 31, 2000.
Potential Fluctuations in Quarterly Results
The Company has experienced and expects to continue to experience fluctuations in operating results. Fluctuations in operating results may result in volatility in the price of the Company`s common stock. Operating results may fluctuate as a result of many factors, including:
* the volume and timing of orders received or product returns, if any, during the period; * the timing of commercial introduction of future products and enhancements; * competitive products and the impact of price competition on the Company`s average selling prices; * product announcements by the Company and its competition; * the Company`s level of research and development and sales and marketing activities;
Many of these factors are beyond the Company`s control. In addition, due to the short product life cycles that characterize the personal communications management market, the Company`s failure to introduce competitive new and enhanced products in a timely manner would have a material adverse effect on the Company`s business, financial condition and results of operations.
The Company`s operating and other expenses are relatively fixed in the short term. As a result, variations in timing of revenues, if any, will cause significant variations in quarterly results of operations. Notwithstanding the difficulty in forecasting future sales, the Company generally must undertake its sales and marketing and research and development activities and other commitments months or years in advance. Accordingly, any shortfall in product revenues, if any, in a given quarter may materially adversely affect the Company`s business, financial condition and results of operations due to the inability to adjust expenses during the quarter to match the level of product revenues, if any, for the quarter. In addition, the Company`s sales expectations are based entirely on its internal estimates of future demand. Due to these and other factors, the Company believes that quarter to quarter comparisons of its results of operations are not necessarily meaningful, and should not be relied upon as indications of future performance.

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 made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide 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 SoloPoint.com, Inc. (a development stage company) at December 31, 1999 and 1998 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended and for the period from inception (March 26, 1993) to December 31, 1999 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that SoloPoint.com, Inc. will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Note 1, the Company has incurred recurring operating losses since inception and has insufficient cash to continue its operations beyond June 30, 2000 at its projected level of operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company`s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustmentss to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization
SoloPoint.com, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated on March 26, 1993. The Company changed its name from SoHo Networks, Inc. to SoHo Communications, Inc. in September 1993, from SoHo Communications, Inc. to SoloPoint, Inc. in October 1995, and from SoloPoint, Inc. to SoloPoint.com, Inc. in February of 2000. The Company designs, develops and markets personal communications management solutions and is implementing a new strategy by entering the Internet broadband services market. Through December 31, 1995, the Company was active in product development, financial planning, the acquisition of facilities and equipment, raising capital and had begun to build inventory. The Company began shipping its first product in March 1996 with its second product shipping in September 1996. Only limited revenues were realized through December 31, 1996. The Company introduced additional products during 1997. During 1997, the Company made a strategic decision to shift its distribution strategy and again realized only limited revenue for the year ended December 31, 1997. During 1998, the Company continued on its new distribution strategy and began growing revenues slightly but again realized only limited revenue. During 1999, the Company grew its revenue substantially on a percentage basis, but still reported a significant operating loss. As a result, the Company is still considered to be in the development stage.
Basis of Presentation
During its development stage (March 26, 1993) through December 31, 1999, the Company has incurred cumulative net losses of $17,218,121 and expects to incur substantial losses over at least the next year. The Company has insufficient cash to continue its operations beyond June 30, 2000 at its projected level of operations. The Company`s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon it successfully raising additional capital through equity or debt financings and, ultimately, upon achieving profitable operations. However, there is no assurance that additional funding will be available to the Company on accepatable terms, if at all, or that the Company will achieve profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern and do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with a maturity date of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents generally consist of corporate bonds, commerical paper, and money market funds.
Short-term Investments
The Company invests excess cash in high quality instruments. All of the Company`s marketable investments are classified as available-for-sale and the Company uses its available-for-sale portfolio for use in its current operations. Accordingly, the Company has classified all investments as short-term.
Available-for-sale securities are stated at fair market value, with unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, reported as a component of shareholders` equity. The cost of securities sold is based upon the specific identification method. Realized gains and losses and declines in value judged to be other than temporary are included in interest income. There was no difference between market value and cost at December 31, 1999.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of trade accounts receivable. The Company conducts business with companies principally in the telecommunications industry in the United States. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral. Reserves are maintained for potential credit losses. The Company provided $79,443 and $159,639 in additions to the allowance for doubtful accounts for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998.
Inventories
Inventories consist principally of fabricated boards and integrated circuits and are valued at the lower of cost (determined on the first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis) or market. The Company`s inventory reserve level is considered to be adequate as of December 31, 1999. Realization of the value of inventories is dependent upon the Company achieving adequate levels of revenues. Inventories at December 31, 1999 and 1998 consist of the following:

MANAGEMENT`S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
The following section contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, including those referring to the period of time the Company`s existing capital resources will meet the Company`s future capital needs, the Company`s future operating results, the market acceptance of the products of the Company, the Company`s efforts to establish and maintain distribution partners, the development of new products, and the Company`s planned investment in the marketing and distribution of its current products and research and development with regard to future products. The Company`s actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including: the ability of the Company to obtain additional funding, dependence on market acceptance of multifunction personal communications management products; dependence on a limited number of customers; lack of significant sales and distribution channels; the Company`s ability to timely develop new products; business conditions and growth in the personal communications management industry and general economy; competitive factors, such as rival providers of personal communications management products and services and price pressures; compatibility with a wide variety of switching configurations; reliance on sole source contract manufacturers and component suppliers; dependence on a limited number of key personnel; rapid technological changes; as well as other factors set forth elsewhere in this Form 10-KSB.
To date, SoloPoint`s working capital requirements have been met through the sale of equity and debt securities and minimal revenues from product sales. SoloPoint has sustained significant operating losses in every fiscal period since inception and expects to incur substantial quarterly losses at least through the end of calendar year 2000 and possibly longer. The Company has insufficient cash to continue its operations beyond June 2000 at its projected level of operations. SoloPoint`s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon it successfully rasing additional equity or debt financing and, ultimately, upon achieving profitable operations. However, we cannot assure you that additional funding will be available to us on acceptable terms, if at all, or that we will achieve profitable operations.
Results of Operations
Net Revenues
Since inception, the Company`s focus has been on the design and development of personal communications management solutions for communications-dependent individuals. The Company introduced its first product, SmartCenter at the end of March 1996 and made initial shipments of its second product, SmartMonitor, at the end of September 1996. The Company recorded its initial revenues in the quarter ended June 30, 1996. The Company`s products currently have a 30-day, unconditional, money-back guarantee. We recognize revenue when our products are shipped and the 30-day money-back guarantee period has lapsed. One major customer does not have this 30 day money back guarantee and therefore revenues are recognized upon shipment. Allowances are provided for product returns based on estimated future product returns, the timing of expected new product introductions and other factors. These allowances are recorded as direct reductions of revenue and accounts receivable.
Net revenues for the year ended December 31, 1999, were $1,621,622 compared to $571,791 for the year ended December 31, 1998, a 184% increase. The increase in net revenues is mainly attributable to revenues derived from the sale of the our S-310 Caller ID/Voice Mail Manager through our reseller agreement with Cincinnati Bell.
Dependence on Key Customers
During the year ended December 31, 1999, two customers, Cincinnati Bell and Innotrac/Pacific Bell, accounted for approximately 73% and 25%, respectively, of SoloPoint`s net revenues. There can be no assurance
that such customers will continue to order similar volume of product from the Company. A significant reduction in sales volume attributable to the loss of any of the Company`s customers, or the Company`s inability to collect accounts receivable from any major customer could have a materially adverse effect on the Company`s business, financial condition and results of operations.
Gross Margin
Cost of sales, which consists mainly of product cost and inventory adjustments, was $1,810,153 or 112% of revenue for the year ended December 31, 1999, as compared to $634,141 or 111% of revenue for the year ended December 31, 1998. The high percentage of cost of sales for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 was due to increases in inventory reserves of approximately $211,000 during the fourth quarter of 1999 and $207,000 during the fourth quarter of 1998. The increase in inventory reserves during the fourth quarter of 1999 relates to the Company`s change in business strategy to the Connectivity For Living product line while the increase in the fourth quarter of 1998 relates to the Company`s change in distribution strategy and lower than anticipated sales.
Operating Expenses
Research and Development
Research and development expenses, which consist primarily of personnel related and consulting expenses, were $695,990 for the year ended December 31, 1999 as compared to $929,542 for the year ended December 31, 1998. This decrease of 25% was primarily a result of lower utilization of outside consultants and design service firms. The Company anticipates that research and development expenses may increase in the future in order to develop the Connectivity For Living future product line should the Company be successful in raising additional capital in calendar year 2000.
Sales and Marketing
Sales and marketing expenses which consist primarily of advertising, public relations, marketing communications, conferences and trade shows, travel and personnel expenses were $474,193 for the year ended December 31, 1999 as compared to $625,286 for the year ended December 31, 1998. This decrease of 24% was primarily a result of decreased expenses related to a reduction in personnel and related costs, reduced advertising and marketing efforts, and less attendance at trade shows and conferences. The Company anticipates that sales and marketing expenses may increase in the future in the event of the successful development and subsequent market launch of the Connectivity For Living future product line should the Company be successful in raising additional capital in calendar year 2000.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses which include personnel, professional services, bad debt, depreciation, and consultant expenses were $1,144,403 for the year ended December 31, 1999 as compared to $1,163,480 for the year ended December 31, 1998. This decrease of 2% was primarily a result of decreased personnel and professional services costs. The Company anticipates that general and administrative expenses may grow in absolute dollars, but may decrease as a percentage of revenue, as it adds the infrastructure necessary to accommodate expanded operations associated with the Connectivity For Living future product line should the Company be successful in raising additional capital in calendar year 2000.
Other Income (Expense)
Other income (expense) is comprised primarily of interest income on cash balances, which had been nominal until the completion of the sale of an additional 2,904,829 shares of the Company`s common stock in a private placement transaction in September 1999. The net proceeds from the private placement earned interest through investment in money market funds and high grade commercial paper. For the year ended December 31, 1999 the Company earned interest income of $42,199 compared with interest income of $108,284 for the year ended
December 31, 1998. The decrease in interest income from 1998 to 1999 of $66,085 or 61% was the result of lower average cash balances. This was offset by interest expense of $18,318 and $32,980 for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
Provision for Income Taxes
There was no provision for federal or state income taxes for the years ended December 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998 as the Company incurred net operating losses. At December 31, 1999, the Company had federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $9,800,000 and $9,300,000, respectively. The Company also had federal and state research and development tax credit carryforwards of approximately $150,000. The net operating loss and research and development tax credit carryforwards will expire at various dates beginning in 2000 through 2019, if not utilized. The utilization of the net operating losses and credits may be subject to a substantial annual limitation due to the ownership change limitations provided by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code") and similar state provisions. The annual limitation may result in the expiration of net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards before utilization.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 1999, the Company had cash, cash equivalents, and short- term investments of $2,086,262 and working capital of $1,689,113 as compared to cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments of $1,005,845 and working capital of $975,728 at December 31, 1998. The Company used cash of $1,863,935 in its operating activities for the year ended December 31, 1999. Principal uses of cash were to fund the Company`s net loss. The principal source of cash was the $3,053,125 net proceeds from the Septemeber 1999 private placement of common stock.
The Company expects to incur additional substantial losses at least through the end of calendar year 2000. The Company will need to seek additional funding during calendar 2000 in order to complete the Connectivity For Living product development and enter the Internet broadband services market. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise such additional funding. In the absence of receiving additional funding, the Company anticipates that its existing capital resources and cash generated from operations, if any, will be adequate to meet the Company`s cash requirements through June 30, 2000 at its anticipated level of operations. Failure to obtain funding would have a material adverse effect on the Company`s business, financial condition and results of operations and could force management to curtail operations, shelve planned development activities, lay off personnel, seek an acquisition partner or even cease operations. As of December 31, 1999 the Company did not have any significant commitments for capital or other expenditures.
SoloPoint`s capital requirements depend on many factors including market aceptance of its products, the amount of money it invests in research and development of new and enhanced products, the amount of money it invests in increased marketing and sales activities, the amount of inventory it carries as well as other factors. The Company received a report from its independent auditors on their audit of our financial statements as of December 31, 1999 containing an explanatory paragraph that describes the uncertainty as to the Company`s ability to continue as a going concern due to its lack of sufficient cash to meet its projected operating expenditures for the next twelve months. As noted above, the Company will need to seek additional equity or debt financing in 2000. The sale of additional equity or convertible debt securities could result in additional dilution to the Company`s shareholders. We cannot assure you that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all.
Future Operating Results
Since its inception in 1993, the Company has incurred significant losses, has had substantial negative cash flow, and has realized limited revenues. At December 31, 1999, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $17,251,238, and had incurred operating losses of $2,503,117 and $2,780,658 for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The Company expects to continue to incur substantial operating losses at least through its fiscal year ending December 31, 2000.
Potential Fluctuations in Quarterly Results
The Company has experienced and expects to continue to experience fluctuations in operating results. Fluctuations in operating results may result in volatility in the price of the Company`s common stock. Operating results may fluctuate as a result of many factors, including:
* the volume and timing of orders received or product returns, if any, during the period; * the timing of commercial introduction of future products and enhancements; * competitive products and the impact of price competition on the Company`s average selling prices; * product announcements by the Company and its competition; * the Company`s level of research and development and sales and marketing activities;
Many of these factors are beyond the Company`s control. In addition, due to the short product life cycles that characterize the personal communications management market, the Company`s failure to introduce competitive new and enhanced products in a timely manner would have a material adverse effect on the Company`s business, financial condition and results of operations.
The Company`s operating and other expenses are relatively fixed in the short term. As a result, variations in timing of revenues, if any, will cause significant variations in quarterly results of operations. Notwithstanding the difficulty in forecasting future sales, the Company generally must undertake its sales and marketing and research and development activities and other commitments months or years in advance. Accordingly, any shortfall in product revenues, if any, in a given quarter may materially adversely affect the Company`s business, financial condition and results of operations due to the inability to adjust expenses during the quarter to match the level of product revenues, if any, for the quarter. In addition, the Company`s sales expectations are based entirely on its internal estimates of future demand. Due to these and other factors, the Company believes that quarter to quarter comparisons of its results of operations are not necessarily meaningful, and should not be relied upon as indications of future performance.
ITEM 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP, INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
The Board of Directors and Shareholders SoloPoint.com, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of SoloPoint.com, Inc. (a development stage company, formerly SoloPoint, Inc.) as of December 31, 1999 and 1998 and the related statements of operations, redeemable convertible preferred stock and shareholders` equity (net capital deficiency), and cash flows for the years then ended and for the period from inception (March 26, 1993) to December 31, 1999. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company`s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. 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 made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide 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 SoloPoint.com, Inc. (a development stage company) at December 31, 1999 and 1998 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended and for the period from inception (March 26, 1993) to December 31, 1999 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that SoloPoint.com, Inc. will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Note 1, the Company has incurred recurring operating losses since inception and has insufficient cash to continue its operations beyond June 30, 2000 at its projected level of operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company`s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustmentss to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization
SoloPoint.com, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated on March 26, 1993. The Company changed its name from SoHo Networks, Inc. to SoHo Communications, Inc. in September 1993, from SoHo Communications, Inc. to SoloPoint, Inc. in October 1995, and from SoloPoint, Inc. to SoloPoint.com, Inc. in February of 2000. The Company designs, develops and markets personal communications management solutions and is implementing a new strategy by entering the Internet broadband services market. Through December 31, 1995, the Company was active in product development, financial planning, the acquisition of facilities and equipment, raising capital and had begun to build inventory. The Company began shipping its first product in March 1996 with its second product shipping in September 1996. Only limited revenues were realized through December 31, 1996. The Company introduced additional products during 1997. During 1997, the Company made a strategic decision to shift its distribution strategy and again realized only limited revenue for the year ended December 31, 1997. During 1998, the Company continued on its new distribution strategy and began growing revenues slightly but again realized only limited revenue. During 1999, the Company grew its revenue substantially on a percentage basis, but still reported a significant operating loss. As a result, the Company is still considered to be in the development stage.
Basis of Presentation
During its development stage (March 26, 1993) through December 31, 1999, the Company has incurred cumulative net losses of $17,218,121 and expects to incur substantial losses over at least the next year. The Company has insufficient cash to continue its operations beyond June 30, 2000 at its projected level of operations. The Company`s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon it successfully raising additional capital through equity or debt financings and, ultimately, upon achieving profitable operations. However, there is no assurance that additional funding will be available to the Company on accepatable terms, if at all, or that the Company will achieve profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern and do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with a maturity date of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents generally consist of corporate bonds, commerical paper, and money market funds.
Short-term Investments
The Company invests excess cash in high quality instruments. All of the Company`s marketable investments are classified as available-for-sale and the Company uses its available-for-sale portfolio for use in its current operations. Accordingly, the Company has classified all investments as short-term.
Available-for-sale securities are stated at fair market value, with unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, reported as a component of shareholders` equity. The cost of securities sold is based upon the specific identification method. Realized gains and losses and declines in value judged to be other than temporary are included in interest income. There was no difference between market value and cost at December 31, 1999.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of trade accounts receivable. The Company conducts business with companies principally in the telecommunications industry in the United States. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral. Reserves are maintained for potential credit losses. The Company provided $79,443 and $159,639 in additions to the allowance for doubtful accounts for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998.
Inventories
Inventories consist principally of fabricated boards and integrated circuits and are valued at the lower of cost (determined on the first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis) or market. The Company`s inventory reserve level is considered to be adequate as of December 31, 1999. Realization of the value of inventories is dependent upon the Company achieving adequate levels of revenues. Inventories at December 31, 1999 and 1998 consist of the following:

Solopoint.com, inc. (OTC:SLPT), a provider of next-generation, broadband
Internet access and personal communications solutions for the home, and Be
Incorporated (Nasdaq:BEOS) today announced joint efforts to develop a reference
platform of solopoint.com`s Lifestyle appliance for consumers. Be`s software
platform for Internet appliances, BeIA(TM), will power the Lifestyle appliance.
The superior media handling capabilities of BeIA, along with the simplicity and

personalized entertainment and information -- such as streaming broadcasts,
music, news, and e-mail -- to each family member in the home. The content is
tailored to each household member`s unique preferences through broadband
Internet connectivity, including cable and DSL. The goal is to provide consumers
with a compelling media-rich experience on a simple-to-use appliance for
Internet connectivity, communications, and entertainment, based on Be`s
foundational software technology and solopoint`s Lifestyle appliance.

Internet and media experiences, to enhance any user`s everyday life," said
Jean-Louis Gassee, chairman and chief executive officer of Be. "Internet
information is inherently media rich and highly interactive in nature, both of
which are core attributes of BeIA`s architecture."

Message from Don Penny
Teleputing based products are the next step in the natural progression of bundled telephone and internet service. Given the many means of communication, namely, E-mail, Voice Mail, faxes, pages, cell phone, home phone, and work phone, there exists an expanding demand for communications management solutions that conveniently and efficiently integrate these various modes. Solopoint, Inc., a Silicon Valley based company, aims to capitalize on the increasing small business and home-office demand for intelligent appliances, through a user-friendly and cost effective campaign known as "Connectivity for Living."
The "Connectivity for Living" solution primarily targets the individual small office/home office professional. Solopoint`s broadband portal, known as "My Home," is essentially an appliance featuring a unique juxtaposition of information flow and communication capability. Through the use of a cable modem or DSL, the product eliminates the need for dial-up networking and allows users to be constantly connected. The appliance, the "Lifestyle Appliance," includes a cordless telephone/speakerphone that integrates with the touch, color screen and occupies little more space than an ordinary telephone and answering machine. Users setup the Lifestyle Appliance according with the internet information they wish to have constant touch access to. Dynamically, all E-mail, Voice Mail, faxes, and telephone calls are managed on-screen or remotely with the integrated cordless handset. While Solopoint, Inc.`s Connectivity for Living is a specialized internet portal that consolidates and localizes information and communication ability on an individual level, their solution has macro implications as well.
Service providers and advertisers find themselves in a position to gain from Solopoint`s initiative. The always-on nature of the Lifestyle Appliance requires broadband connectivity. Furthermore, the SoloPoint portal provides a unique opportunity for advertisers to target consumers at home in a screen saver capacity.

Solopoint, Inc., a Silicon Valley based company, aims to capitalize on the increasing small business and home-office demand for intelligent appliances, through a user-friendly and cost effective campaign known as "Connectivity for Living."
The "Connectivity for Living" solution primarily targets the individual small office/home office professional. Solopoint`s broadband portal, known as "My Home," is essentially an appliance featuring a unique juxtaposition of information flow and communication capability. Through the use of a cable modem or DSL, the product eliminates the need for dial-up networking and allows users to be constantly connected. The appliance, the "Lifestyle Appliance," includes a cordless telephone/speakerphone that integrates with the touch, color screen and occupies little more space than an ordinary telephone and answering machine. Users setup the Lifestyle Appliance according with the internet information they wish to have constant touch access to. Dynamically, all E-mail, Voice Mail, faxes, and telephone calls are managed on-screen or remotely with the integrated cordless handset. While Solopoint, Inc.`s Connectivity for Living is a specialized internet portal that consolidates and localizes information and communication ability on an individual level, their solution has macro implications as well.
Service providers and advertisers find themselves in a position to gain from Solopoint`s initiative. The always-on nature of the Lifestyle Appliance requires broadband connectivity. Furthermore, the SoloPoint portal provides a unique opportunity for advertisers to target consumers at home in a screen saver capacity.

National Semiconductor Geode Technology to Power solopoint.com`s LifestyleAppliance
Wed Apr 26 08:18:00 EDT 2000
LOS GATOS, Calif., Apr 26, 2000 (BUSINESS WIRE) --
New Internet and communications appliance designed for continuous
broadband delivery of multimedia and personal communications
information
Solopoint.com, inc. (OTC:SLPT), a provider of next-generation, broadband
Internet access and personal communications solutions for the home, today
announced that National Semiconductor Corporation`s (NYSE:NSM) Geode(TM) GXLV
microprocessor will power solopoint.com`s new Lifestyle appliance reference
platform.
Solopoint.com`s "always-on" Lifestyle appliance is designed to provide
personalized entertainment and information - such as streaming broadcasts,
music, news, and e-mail - to each family member in the home. Content is tailored
to each household member`s unique preferences through broadband Internet
connectivity, including cable and DSL. The goal is to provide consumers with a
compelling media-rich experience on a simple-to-use appliance for Internet
connectivity, communications, and entertainment.
"The Lifestyle appliance`s integration of telecommunications and broadband
connectivity with solopoint.com`s customized portal capabilities presents an
attractive proposition to consumers," said Mike Polacek, vice president of
National`s Information Appliance division. "This is the level of convergence
that will help drive the information appliance market forward and show consumers
the real value of these multi-function devices."
The solopoint.com Lifestyle platform will also incorporate a wide variety of
other National Semiconductor silicon, including a companion chip and several
industry-leading analog parts, such as an audio codec, microcontroller and
several power management chips.
"Solopoint.com needed the flexibility of an open design to integrate its
telephony and broadband enhancements into the Lifestyle appliance reference
design," said Arthur Chang, solopoint.com`s president and CEO. "The Geode GXLV
processor`s price and performance characteristics, coupled with National`s
system design assistance, made it an obvious choice for us."
Solopoint.com will license the production-ready Lifestyle appliance to
third-party hardware manufacturers.

Etwas aufmunterndes aus dem Ragingbull-Board...
Just want to pass onto you what was told to me.
Look for several positive press releases during the month of June. The company should be updating the public on or before their
June 20th shareholders meeting.
From what I heard, Solopoint is actively identifying partners for additional financing. Who, what, and when, I am not privy to share.
However, my contact did share with me some details about the company’s roadshow with industry analysts. They are half way
complete and the response/feedback has been extremely positive. Solopoint recently added, or are in the process of adding, a
sales executive who will be delivering the “Connectivitiy for Living” appliance to the marketplace. They are also in the process of
contacting and identifying manufacturers who will be producing their product for availability in the fall.
The company has approximately 4,900,000 shares outstanding, however the float listed on Yahoo is very much incorrect.
InveStar Venture Capital has nearly three million shares locked up. Another 800,000 shares are owned by less than a dozen
insiders. This leaves the actual float available to you and I more like 1,100,000 shares. That would explain why the stock
moves very fast on very little volume.
I recently purchased Solopoint under $1/share and believe that it will be moving quickly in June. My opinion is that the stock was
oversold last month when it fell below 2 ½.
The company appears to be moving aggressively with the “Connectivity For Living” appliance. Their website details its
capabilities. I am very impressed not only with the product, but the speed at which this company is moving to make it a reality
before the year’s end.
Enjoy June!
My best wishes to all.

Prior to joining solopoint.com, Cahill was regional director for AdSmart Network, an online advertising sales company.
