PROLONG INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

1.	BUSINESS

	Prolong International Corporation (PIC) is a Nevada corporation originally organized on August 24, 1981. In September 1995, PIC acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of Prolong Super Lubricants, Inc. (PSL), a Nevada corporation. In 1998, Prolong International Holdings Ltd. was formed as a wholly owned subsidiary of PIC. At the same time, Prolong International Ltd. was formed as a wholly owned subsidiary of Prolong International Holdings Ltd. PIC, through its subsidiaries, is engaged in the manufacture, sale and worldwide distribution of a patented complete line of high-performance and high-quality lubricants and appearance products.

	Management’s Plans Regarding Financial Results and Liquidity – At June 30, 2003, the Company had negative working capital of approximately $226,000 and an accumulated deficit of approximately $7,782,000. The Company initiated vigorous expense-reduction strategies during the years 2001 and 2002 and continued this strategy during the first six months ended June 30, 2003. During 2001, 2002 and during the first six months ended June 30, 2003, the Company reduced personnel, discontinued certain of its endorsement and sponsorship contracts and aggressively reduced selling and general and administrative expenses. Additionally, the Company improved its credit and collections function and worked with its vendors to improve payment terms. The Company initiated an “Accounts Payable Discounted Debt Restructure Program”, which was successfully executed and the program reduced the accounts payable balance by approximately $1,300,000 and recognized debt forgiveness income of $677,000 (before taxes), during the year ended December 31, 2002. The Company also recognized a one-time gain of $983,400 on the sale of its corporate headquarters during the year ended December 31, 2002. During 2002, the Company raised additional working capital of $1,125,000 through a private placement offering of subordinated secured promissory notes to accredited investors. During the first six months ended June 30, 2003, the Company raised additional working capital of $260,000 through a private placement offering of convertible promissory notes to accredited investors. If these measures are not adequate, the Company will pursue additional expense reductions during 2003. The Company is continuing to seek financing on favorable terms, including senior secured debt, subordinated debt and/or equity placements. There can be no assurance that such financing will be available on favorable terms, or at all. If additional funds are raised by issuing equity securities, dilution to existing stockholders is likely to result. The Company owns shares of common stock in Oryxe Energy International, Inc. Management believes that a portion could be sold to provide additional working capital (see Note 8). Management believes that the aforementioned plans, if successfully executed, will provide adequate financial resources to sustain the Company’s operations and enable the Company to continue as a going concern.

2.	BASIS OF PRESENTATION

5.	LINE OF CREDIT

	Effective February 26, 2003, the Company entered into a new $1,500,000 credit facility with a financial institution that, unless terminated earlier by its terms, has an initial term through February 26, 2005 with automatic renewals for successive one-year periods thereafter. The credit facility provides for advances of funds up to 75% of the gross face value of eligible trade accounts receivable based on agreed terms. Such facility is collateralized by accounts receivable, inventory, equipment and other assets. Interest is payable monthly at the financial institution’s base index, which was 4.75% at June 30, 2003, plus 2.25%. Additionally, the Company is obligated to pay the lender (i) a monthly purchasing fee of 0.25% of the total monthly average advances outstanding and (ii) an annual facility fee of 0.75% of the purchasing limit (which limit is currently $1,500,000). As of June 30 2003, $920,967 was outstanding under the credit facility.

6.	NOTES PAYABLE

	Notes payable consist of the following as of June 30, 2003:

a)	Various subordinated secured promissory notes payable to accredited investors bearing interest at 15% per annum to be repaid under various terms in monthly principal and interest through June 30, 2005.	$	967,262
b)	Various convertible subordinated promissory notes payable to accredited investors bearing interest at 10% per annum that will accrue and be payable on September 30, 2003. The convertible subordinated promissory notes are automatically convertible into new convertible promissory notes, which are convertible into shares of common stock of Oryxe Energy International, Inc., that may be issued by the Company prior to September 30, 2003. In connection with this transaction the Company issued 30-month warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 167,063 shares of Prolong’s common stock at $0.20 per share.		260,000

			1,227,262
	Less current maturities		(626,391	)

			600,871
	Less unamortized debt discount relating to the relative estimated fair value of warrants issued		(123,206	)

		$	477,665

The following are annual minimal principal payments due under notes payable:

Year ending December 31,
2003	$	446,407
2004		708,544
2005		72,311

	$	1,227,262

	In connection with the Company’s issuance of the subordinated secured promissory notes described in (a) above, the Company issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,250,000 shares of common stock to related note holders and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 247,000 shares of common stock as broker commissions. Each warrant allows the holder to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock at $0.09 per share for a period of five years. In accordance with APB No. 14, the Company has presented the relative estimated fair value of the warrants issued to note holders of $209,000 as a debt discount and such amount is being amortized over the expected terms of the promissory notes.

7.	CONTINGENCIES

	On April 8, 1997, a lawsuit was filed by Francis Helman et al vs. EPL Prolong Inc. and PIC et al in the Court of Common Pleas, Columbiana County, Ohio. The operative complaint alleges breach of contract, fraudulent conveyance of corporate assets, breach of fiduciary duties, breach of an alleged novation and fraud in the inducement relating to the alleged novation. Plaintiffs allege that they purchased certain “pre-primary shares” of stock in a Canadian company known as Prolong Industries Inc. from Defendant Ronald Sloan and other agents of the Canadian company during the period of May 1985 through October 1987, a period prior in time to the formation of EPL Prolong, Inc. It remains undisputed that the EPL Defendants had no involvement in the solicitation or sale of the pre-primary shares that were allegedly sold to the plaintiffs between 1985 and 1987. The court has ruled that the case can proceed as a class action. The matter is set for mediation in September of 2003. Management believes that there is no merit to the plaintiffs’ complaint, is vigorously defending against

	the claims, and does not believe the outcome will have a material adverse affect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

	PIC and its subsidiaries are subject to other legal proceedings, claims, and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. PIC’s management does not expect that the ultimate costs to resolve these matters will have a material adverse affect on PIC’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

	On June 3, 2003, the Company entered into an “Infomercial Participation Agreement” with a non-related individual (Participant), in which the Company received $100,000 to be used towards the production of the infomercial. In exchange the Participant shall receive a portion of the infomercial gross revenue, a credit for purchases of product and a warrant to purchase 100,000 shares of Prolong’s common stock at $0.18 per share.

8.	INVESTMENT IN AFFILIATE

	On March 31, 2001, the Company entered into an Organization Agreement with Prolong Environmental Energy Corporation (PEEC), a California Corporation, whereby the Company agreed to contribute up to $150,000 to PEEC as required to meet the operating working capital obligations for PEEC. In exchange PIC was issued common stock in PEEC. In December 2001, PEEC was merged into ORYXE Energy International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ORYXE”) and PIC was issued ORYXE common stock as well as warrants to purchase additional shares of common stock. The Company provided ORYXE with administrative and facilities services support in the amount of $224,991 during the period April 1, 2001 through June 30, 2003. The Company’s contribution, and the services provided (total investment of $374,991), has been considered a capital contribution for PEEC in return for approximately 10% of the issued and outstanding common stock of ORYXE. During the quarter ended June 30, 2003, the Company issued convertible promissory notes which are automatically convertible into new convertible promissory notes, which are convertible into a number of shares to be determined of common stock of Oryxe Energy International, Inc., that may be issued by the Company prior to September 30, 2003.

9.	INTANGIBLE ASSETS

	Effective the beginning of the first quarter of 2002, the Company completed the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141, “Business Combinations,” and SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” SFAS No. 141 requires all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 to be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. As required by SFAS No. 142, the Company discontinued amortizing the remaining balances of goodwill as of the beginning of fiscal 2002. All remaining and future acquired goodwill will be subject to impairment tests annually, or earlier if indicators of potential impairment exist, using a fair-value-based approach. All other intangible assets will continue to be amortized over their estimated useful lives and assessed for impairment under SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” In conjunction with the implementation of SFAS No. 142, the Company has completed a goodwill impairment review as of the beginning of 2002 and 2003 with the assistance of an independent valuation company. Management has determined that no impairment existed.

	Upon adoption of the new rules described above, the Company separately identified the estimated fair value of its patents and such amount has been presented on a separate line item, net of related accumulated amortization of $109,756, in the accompanying consolidated condensed balance sheets. Patents are amortized over their estimated useful lives of 15 years. Intangible assets are comprised of goodwill and trademarks and are not being amortized in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 142.

10.	STOCK OPTIONS

	SFAS No. 123 and No. 148 require the determination and disclosure of compensation costs implicit in stock option grants or other stock rights. The Company has adopted certain required provisions of this standard for nonemployee transactions. Under the employee transaction provisions, companies are encouraged, but not required, to adopt the fair value of accounting for employee stock-based transactions. Companies are also permitted to continue to account for such transactions under Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. The following table illustrates the effect on net income if the

Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 to stock-based employee compensation.

	Effective June 4, 1997, the Company adopted the Prolong International Corporation 1997 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). Under the Plan, the Company may grant nonqualified or incentive stock options for the benefit of qualified employees, officers, directors, consultants and other service providers. On June 26, 2002, the Company’s stockholders approved an increase of 1,500,000 shares of common stock issuable under the Plan, bringing the total number of authorized shares to 4,000,000. The term of the option is fixed by the administrator of the Plan, but no option may be exercisable more than 10 years after the date of grant.

	Stock option activity is as follows:

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RISK FACTORS AND FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report contains certain forward looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that involve risks and uncertainties. In addition, the Company may from time to time make oral forward-looking statements. The words “estimate,” “project,” “potential,” “intended,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe” and similar expressions or words are intended to identify forward looking statements. The forward looking statements included herein are based on current expectations, which involve a number of risks and uncertainties and assumptions regarding the Company’s business and technology. These assumptions involve judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic and competitive conditions, and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond the control of the Company. Although the Company believes that the assumptions underlying the forward looking statements are reasonable, any of the assumptions could prove inaccurate and, therefore, there can be no assurance that the results contemplated in forward looking statements will be realized and actual results may differ materially. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward looking information included herein, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by the Company or any other person that the objectives or plans of the Company will be achieved. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly release the result of any revisions to these forward looking statements that may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof, or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

Actual results are uncertain and may be impacted by the factors discussed in more detail in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002 and other periodic and current reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In particular, there are certain risks and uncertainties that may impact the accuracy of the forward looking statements with respect to revenues, expenses and operating results including without limitation, the risks set forth in the risk factors section of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002, which risk factors are hereby incorporated into this report by this reference. As a result, the actual results may differ materially from those projected in the forward looking statements.

Because of these and other factors that may affect the Company’s operating results, past financial performance should not be considered an indicator of future performance, and investors should not use historical trends to anticipate results or trends in future periods.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of net revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates its estimates and assumptions related to allowances for doubtful accounts, sales returns and allowances, inventory reserves, goodwill and purchased intangible asset valuations, deferred income tax asset valuation allowances, warranty reserves, litigation and other contingencies. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on historical experience, forecasted operating results and expected trends, and on various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. To the extent there are material differences between the Company’s estimates and the actual results, its future results of operations will be affected. The Company believes the following critical accounting policies require it to make significant judgments and estimates in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements:

Revenue, Receivables and Inventory - The Company recognizes product revenue upon concluding that all of the fundamental criteria for revenue recognition have been met. The criteria are usually met at the time of product shipment. In addition, the Company records reductions to revenue for estimated product returns and allowances such as competitive pricing programs. Should actual product returns or pricing adjustments exceed the Company’s

estimates, additional reductions to revenue would result. The Company provides reserves for estimated product warranty costs at the time revenue is recognized. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of customers to make required payments. If the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances could be required. The Company writes down its inventory for estimated obsolescence. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory write-downs could be required.

Goodwill and Purchased Intangible Assets - The purchase method of accounting for acquisitions requires extensive use of accounting estimates and judgments to allocate the purchase price to the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired. Goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives are no longer amortized but are subject to at least annual impairment tests. Management obtains an annual independent, third party valuation of the Company to assist it in the performance of annual impairment tests. The amounts and useful lives assigned to intangible assets impact future amortization.

Deferred Taxes - If the Company determines that it is more likely than not that it will not realize all or part of its net deferred tax assets in the future, it will record a valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets, which allowance will be charged to income tax expense in the period of such determination. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, tax planning strategies and future taxable income in assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets. Management also considers the weight of both positive and negative evidence in determining whether a valuation allowance is needed.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2003 vs. Three Months Ended June 30, 2002

Net revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2003 were approximately $2,034,000 as compared to approximately $2,487,000 for the comparable period of the prior year, a decrease of $453,000 or 18.2%. Revenues for the three month period ended June 30, 2003 were derived from retail sales of $1,774,000 and international and other sales of $260,000. Revenues for the three month period ended June 30, 2002 were derived from retail sales of $2,231,000, and international and other sales of $256,000.

During the second quarter of 2003, retail sales were 87.2% of total revenues while international and other sales comprised 12.8% of total revenues. During the second quarter of 2002, retail sales were 89.7% of total revenues while international and other sales comprised 10.3% of total revenues. The lower retail sales for the period ended June 30, 2003 versus the same period a year ago are attributable to a decrease in lubricant sales of approximately $457,000. The lubricant retail sales decline is attributable to a soft market for specialty lubricants, competitive factors, reduced advertising exposure and general economic factors.

Cost of goods sold for the three months ended June 30, 2003 was approximately $725,000 as compared to $796,000 for the comparable period of the prior year, a decrease of $71,000 or 8.9%. As a percentage of net revenues, cost of goods sold increased from 32.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2002 to 35.7% for the three months ended June 20, 2003. The increase in cost of goods as a percentage of sales was mainly attributable to product mix.

Selling and marketing expenses of $958,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2003 represented a decrease of $25,000 over the comparable period of the prior year. This decrease was primarily the result of decreased expenses for endorsement and sponsorship payments, advertising and a reduction in personnel. Selling and marketing expenses as a percentage of sales were 47.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2002 versus 39.5% for the comparable period of the previous year due to the decrease in sales during the period.

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2003 were approximately $629,000 as compared to $673,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2002, a decrease of $44,000 or 6.5%. As a percentage of net revenues, general and administrative expenses increased from 27.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to 30.9% for the comparable period in 2003. Even though the aggregate expenses declined during the period, the percentage of net revenues increased due to the decrease in sales during the second quarter of 2003.

Interest expense of $90,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2003 represented a decrease of $8,000 over the comparable period in 2002. The decrease is attributable to a noncash charge of $33,000 for the unammortized debt discount on the subordinated secured promissory notes, which was offset by decreases in the interest rate relating to the credit facility. Other income for the three months ended June 30, 2003 was $35,500 as compared to $55,300 for the three months ended June 30, 2002, a decrease of $19,800. This decrease was the result of reduced income from subletting of a portion of our facilities. Gain on sale of building for the three months ended June 30, 2002 in the amount of $983,400 represents the one-time net gain on the sale of the Company’s corporate headquarters.

Extraordinary item – gain from forgiveness of debt, net of income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2003 was none as compared to $311,500 for the three months ended June 30, 2002. The gain in the prior period resulted from the executed settlements during the period of the Company’s “Accounts Payable Discounted Debt Restructure Program” discussed elsewhere in this report.

The provision for income taxes was $300,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2003, even though the Company reported a net loss for the period. The provision results from an increase in the valuation allowance of $300,000 recorded against a portion of the Company’s deferred tax assets. Such allowance was recorded as management could not determine that it was more likely than not that such deferred tax assets would be realized.

Net loss for the three month period ended June 30, 2003 was approximately $(634,000) as compared to a net income of approximately $899,000 for the comparable period in the prior year, a decrease of $1,533,000. The decrease is a result of the factors discussed above.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2003 vs. Six Months Ended June 30, 2002

Net revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2003 were approximately $4,222,000 as compared to approximately $5,373,000 for the comparable period in the prior year, a decrease of $1,151,000 or 21.4%. Revenues for the six month period ended June 30, 2003 were derived from retail sales of $3,709,000 and international and other sales of $513,000. Revenues for the six month period ended June 30, 2002 were derived from retail sales of $4,817,000 and international and other sales of $556,000.

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2003, retail sales were 87.8% of total revenues while international and other sales comprised 12.2% of total revenues. During the comparable period in 2002, retail sales were 89.7% of total revenues while international and other sales comprised 10.3% of total revenues. The lower retail sales for the six month period ended June 30, 2003 versus the same period a year ago are attributable to a decrease in lubricant

sales of approximately $1,108,000. The lubricant retail sales decline is attributable to a soft market for specialty lubricants, competitive factors, reduced advertising exposure, and general economic factors.

Cost of goods sold for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was approximately $1,477,000 as compared to $1,788,000 for the comparable period of the prior year, a decrease of $311,000 or 17.4%. As a percentage of net revenues, cost of goods sold increased from 33.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2002 to 35.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2003. The increase in cost of goods sold, as a percentage of sales was mainly attributable to product mix.

Selling and marketing expenses of $1,815,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2003 represented a decrease of $193,000 over the comparable period of the prior year. This decrease was primarily the result of decreased expenses for endorsement and sponsorship payments, advertising and a reduction in personnel. Selling and marketing expenses, as a percentage of net revenues were 43.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2003 versus 37.4% for the comparable period of the previous year.

General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2003 were approximately $1,371,000 as compared to $1,432,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2002, a decrease of $61,000 or 4.3%. As a percentage of net revenues, general and administrative expenses increased from 26.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to 32.4% for the comparable period in 2003. Even though the aggregate expenses declined during the period, the percentage of net revenues increased due to decrease in sales during the first six months of 2003.

Interest expense of $204,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2003 represented an increase of $5,000 over the comparable period in 2002. The increase is attributable to a noncash charge of $66,000 for the unamortized debt discount on the subordinated secured promissory notes, which was partially offset by decreases in the interest rate relating to the credit facilities. Other income for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was $68,400 as compared to 108,900 for the six months ended June 30, 2002. This decrease was the result of reduced income from subletting of a portion or our facilities. Gain on sale of building for the six months ended June 30, 2002 in the amount of $983,400 represents the one-time net gain on the sale of the Company’s corporate headquarters.

Extraordinary item – gain from forgiveness of debt, net of income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was none as compared to $406,500 for the six months ended June 30, 2002. The gain in the prior period resulted from the executed settlements during the period of the Company’s “Accounts Payable Discounted Debt Restructure Program”.

The provision for income taxes was $300,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2003, even though the Company reported a net loss for the period. The provision results from an increase in the valuation allowance of $300,000 recorded against a portion of the Company’s deferred tax assets. Such allowance was recorded as management could not determine that it was more likely than not that such deferred tax assets would be realized.

Net loss for the six month period ended June 30, 2003 was approximately $(876,000) as compared to a net income of approximately $1,031,000 for the comparable period in the prior year, a decrease of $1,907,000. The decrease is a result of the factors discussed above.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At June 30, 2003, the Company had negative working capital of approximately $226,000 as compared to a positive balance of $418,000 at December 31, 2002, representing a decrease of $644,000. Cash used in operating activities during the six month period ended June 30, 2003, was $390,400, primarily consisting of a decrease in accounts payable, and an increase in accounts receivable, which was partially offset by an increase in accrued expenses and decreases in prepaid expenses and deferred taxes. Additionally, the Company generated cash of $9,513 from investing activities and generated cash of $214,055 from financing activities which were primarily payments on outstanding subordinated secured promissory notes offset by proceeds from the credit facility entered into on February 26, 2003 and proceeds of $260,000 from the convertible subordinated promissory notes issued in June 2003.

Effective February 26, 2003, the Company entered into a new $1,500,000 credit facility with a financial institution that, unless terminated earlier by its terms, has an initial term through February 26, 2005 with automatic renewals for successive one-year periods thereafter. The credit facility provides for advances of funds up to 75% of the gross

face value of eligible trade accounts receivable based on agreed terms. Such facility is collateralized by accounts receivable, inventory, equipment and other assets. Interest is payable monthly at the financial institution’s base index, which was 4.75% at June 30, 2003, plus 2.25%. Additionally, the Company is obligated to pay the lender (i) a monthly purchasing fee of 0.25% of the total monthly average advances outstanding and (ii) an annual facility fee of 0.75% of the purchasing limit (which limit is currently $1,500,000). As of June 30, 2003, $920,967 was outstanding under the credit facility.

At June 30, 2003, the Company had a negative working capital of approximately $226,000 and, an accumulated deficit of approximately $7,782,000. The Company initiated vigorous expense-reduction strategies during the years 2001, 2002 and during the first six months ended June 30, 2003. During 2001, 2002 and during the first six months ended June 30, 3003, the Company reduced personnel, discontinued certain of its endorsement and sponsorship contracts and aggressively reduced selling and general and administrative expenses. Additionally, the Company improved its credit and collections function and worked with its vendors to improve payment terms. The Company initiated an “Accounts Payable Discounted Debt Restructure Program” which was successfully executed and the program reduced the accounts payable balance by approximately $1,300,000 and recognized debt forgiveness income of $677,000 (before taxes), during the year ended December 31, 2002. The Company also recognized a one-time gain of $983,400 on the sale of its corporate headquarters during the year ended December 31, 2002. During 2002, the Company raised additional working capital of $1,125,000 through a private placement offering of subordinated secured promissory notes to accredited investors. During the first six months ended June 30, 2003, the Company raised additional working capital of $260,000 through a private placement offering of convertible promissory notes to accredited investors. If the aforementioned measures are not adequate, the Company will pursue additional expense reductions during 2003. The Company cannot guarantee that the timing of further reductions in operating expenses will be adequate to return to profitability for 2003 and beyond. The Company is continuing to seek financing on favorable terms, including senior secured debt, subordinated debt and/or equity placements. The Company owns shares of common stock in Oryxe Energy International, Inc. Management believes that a portion could be sold to provide additional working capital (see Note 8). There can be no assurance that such financing will be available on favorable terms, or at all. If additional funds are raised by issuing equity securities, dilution to existing stockholders is likely to result. Management believes that the aforementioned plans, if successfully executed, will provide adequate financial resources to sustain the Company’s operations and enable the Company to continue as a going concern.

ITEM 3:

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

PIC’s financial instruments include cash and long-term debt. At June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively the carrying values of PIC’s financial instruments approximated their fair values based on current market prices and rates. It is PIC’s policy not to enter into derivative financial instruments. PIC does not currently have any significant foreign currency exposure since it does not transact business in foreign currencies. Due to this, PIC did not have significant overall currency exposure at June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively.

The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates on borrowings under its credit facility entered into on February 26, 2003, which bears interest at the financial institution’s base index, which was 4.75% at June 30, 2003, plus 2.25%.

ITEM 4:

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Company maintains a system of internal controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance as to the reliability of our published financial statements and other disclosures included in this report. Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”) and the Chief Financial Officer (the “CFO”), the Company evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “1934 Act”) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s CEO and CFO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company (including its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in the Company’s periodic filings under the 1934 Act.

There has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonable likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Reference is made to Note 7 of the notes to consolidated condensed financial statements.

Item 2. Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds

On June 5, 2003, the Company issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 167,063 shares of common stock in connection with the sale and issuance of an aggregate principal amount of $260,000 of convertible subordinated promissory notes to a total of eleven accredited investors. The warrants have a thirty month term and entitle the holder to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $0.20 per share. Additionally, each warrant may be exercised as a result of a “net issue” or “easy sale” exercise by the holder. The convertible subordinated promissory notes are automatically convertible into new convertible promissory notes, which are convertible into shares of common stock of Oryxe Energy International, Inc., that may be issued by the Company prior to September 30, 2003. The proceeds received by the Company from the sale of the convertible subordinated promissory notes were used for general corporate purposes.

On June 19, 2003, the Company issued a warrant to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock in connection with an agreement with a third party to provide marketing and related services to the Company. The warrant has a five year term and entitles the holder to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $0.18 per share, subject to adjustment for certain dilutive issuances. The warrant may be exercised as a result of a “net issue” or “easy sale” exercise by the holder.

The sales of each of the warrants and convertible subordinated promissory notes described above were deemed to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), in reliance on Section 4(2) of the 1933 Act or Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The Company has reason to believe that each purchaser was familiar with or had access to information concerning the operations and financial condition of the Company, and each purchaser represented that it was an accredited investor and was acquiring the securities for investment only and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof. At the time of the issuances, each of the warrants and the convertible subordinated promissory notes were deemed to be restricted securities for purposes of the 1933 Act and the instruments representing such securities (and the share certificates to be issued upon exercise of the warrants) bear legends to that effect.
