Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the information contained in the Financial Statements and the Notes to the financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-QSB. The Financial Statements for the six month period ended November 30, 2002, included in this Form 10-QSB are unaudited; however, this information reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments), which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of the results for the interim period. Results of Operations Six months ending November 30, 2002 vs. November 30, 2001 In the six month period ended November 30, 2002, Novex had net sales of $860,298 versus $1,179,554 in the corresponding six month period in 2001. Cost of goods sold in this period was $599,166 which generated a gross margin of 30%, versus 43% in 2001. Novex incurred general and administrative costs of $530,556 which resulted in a loss from operations of $269,424 in this period. In this period, Novex incurred $157,043 in interest expense. In the six month period ending November 30, 2002, the company's operating loss before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) was $201,617 versus a loss of $161,414 in the same six month period in 2001. The decrease in sales during this period was due to poor cash flow which inhibited the company's ability to obtain raw materials and to ship pending orders within a reasonable time of receiving the order. Pending orders as of November 30, 2002 were $130,000. On November 30, 2002, Novex had $510,303 in current assets which consisted primarily of inventory of $145,271 and accounts receivable of $350,059. The company's property, plant and equipment was $1,195,155 net of accumulated depreciation of $244,524 and goodwill of $604,058 net of accumulated amortization of $153,648. Three months ending November 30, 2002 vs. November 30, 2001 In the three month period ended November 30, 2002, Novex had net sales of $302,772 versus $583,855 in the corresponding three month period in 2001. The decrease in sales was 48% over the corresponding period. Cost of goods sold in this period was $238,068 which generated a gross margin of 21%, versus 47% in 2001. The decrease in the gross margin was attributable primarily to the company's marketing affiliation with another company which did not work to the company's financial benefit. Novex incurred general and administrative costs of $269,834 which resulted in a loss from operations of $205,130 in this period. In this period, Novex incurred $70,865 in interest expense. For the three month period the company's operating loss before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) was $171,177, which includes an $18,000 payment to the former shareholders of the Sta-Dri Company who received an additional $6,000 per month up to August, 2002 if the company's stock price was below $1.00 per share for a twenty day trading period. The decrease in sales was due primarily to poor cash flow which inhibited the company's ability to obtain raw materials and to ship pending orders within a reasonable time of receiving the order. Pending orders as of November 30, 2002 were $____________. Subsequent Events Effective February 1, 2003 Novex entered into an exclusive licensing agreement with C.G.M. Incorporated ("CGM"). CGM is a Pennsylvania-based manufacturer of construction chemicals and products for over 37 years, and will be producing, shipping and invoicing customers for sales of product using Novex's trade names. CGM will be paying royalties to Novex on a monthly basis that shall be based on the previous month's sales and a pre-determined percentage of each sale. The average anticipated monthly royalty will be 20% of net sales, which is defined in the agreement as the gross amount of the invoice, less any out-going freight to ship the order, rebate allowances, payment discounts and damaged goods. Novex will continue to take orders from its customers and provide additional marketing services in conjunction with CGM to increase sales of products sold under Novex's trade names, which in return will increase the monthly royalty payments to Novex. Novex has closed its plant and terminated all its employee except for two persons that will continue to handle customers and accounting functions, respectively and Novex's president that will continue to be responsible for sales and marketing, interfacing with CGM and seeking additional acquisitions of businesses and product lines that would be compatible with the distribution channels that Novex's currently serves. Novex has listed for sale its real property located in Clifton, New Jersey at a price of $1,450,000. Novex is anticipating that the court that is overseeing the litigation with Novex's former bank, Dime Commercial Corp., will issue a final ruling on the matter by February 15, 2003. Dime is claiming that approximately $1,250,000 is owed to them and Novex has asked the court to rule that only $1,050,000 is due and owing. In either event, Novex believes that its real property will be sold for sufficient value to enable Novex to pay the full amount of the final judgment, which will terminate the litigation and enable Novex to focus on the development of its business. Liquidity and Financial Resources at November 30, 2002 As of November 30, 2002, Novex had $4,067,144 in current liabilities. Of this amount, $481,921 was the balance on Novex's secured revolving line of credit with Dime Commercial Corp. which was used to fund the Company's operations and a term loan of $704,667 outstanding with Dime and $1,011,000 in bridge loans outstanding to a shareholder and director. Novex has also received advances of $325,000 that were related to a proposed sale and leaseback transaction with its real property that was terminated in October, 2002. It had accounts payable of $439,931, accrued expenses of $434,298, unpaid tax obligations of $313,843 and a loan from a shareholder of $137,449. The accrual for preferred stock dividend payable is $76,470 and is payable in shares of preferred stock not cash. On December 21, 2000, Novex obtained from a private investor a six-month secured bridge loan in the amount of $600,000 ("Bridge Note") which has been extended by the investor to provide the company additional time to improve its sales and secure take-out financing on terms that are mutually beneficial to the company and the new investor(s). The Bridge Note holder owns approximately 4% of the company's common stock and is equally concerned with excessive dilution. The bridge loan bears interest at a rate of 10% per annum. In exchange for the bridge financing, Novex issued 600,000 shares of its common stock to the investor. The Bridge Note is secured by the same assets as, and is subordinated to, the Dime Note (discussed below). During the period February 21, 2001, through October 4, 2001, the same private investor made three additional bridge loans of $311,000 for which he received 286,000 shares of common stock as of November 30, 2001 and another 25,000 shares of common stock as of December 31, 2001. The terms of the additional bridge loans are identical to those of the original Bridge Note. He also made an equity investment of $50,000 on January 21, 2001 for which he received 625,000 shares of Novex' common stock. The current portion of the long-term debt consists of a three year term loan and put warrant totaling $704,667 (originally $890,000) that was made by Dime Commercial Corp. to enable the Company to acquire the Por-Rok Unit (the "Dime Note"). The remaining portion of the purchase price for the Por-Rok Unit was paid with the Sherwin-Williams Note which has been converted into 1,390,388 preferred shares. Included in the current portion of long-term debt is a debenture payable for $125,000 that is past due as it matured on May 31, 1999. This $125,000 note is the remaining balance on a bridge loan of $250,000 that was purchased by a private equity fund managed by Quilcap Corporation. The Dime Note is secured by all the assets that are located at the Por-Rok operation at 16 Cherry Street, Clifton, New Jersey. These assets include the land (1.58 acres), the main manufacturing building and the two warehouses, including all the equipment in these buildings and all trademarks owned by Novex. In addition, the revolving line of credit that Novex has with Dime is secured by the accounts receivable generated at the Por-Rok unit and all inventory. 2 Effective March 1, 2002, Dime had terminated its funding on the two notes and has commenced collections actions to secure repayment of the two loans. At the time the loans were called the principal and interest payments were current, however, Dime had cited covenant defaults in its demand letter to Novex. Novex reached an agreement in principle to sell and leaseback its real property for $1,200,000 however the transaction did not close, although the investors advanced Novex $325,000 as partial payments on the purchase of the property. Due in part from the collapse of the sale and leaseback transaction, the overdue maturity of its bank notes which matured on August 13, 2002 and Novex's inability to secure the capital needed to achieve the growth objectives in its business plan, the company's board of directors announced in a Form 8-KSB filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission in November 2002 that it had determined to sell Novex's business operation. It was anticipated that Novex would use the cash proceeds to pay off its debt obligations, retain any excess proceeds in the company and seek to merge its public entity with a privately-held operating business that could utilize Novex's $8 million net operating loss carryforward and its public status. To that end, in December, 2002, Novex undertook a sale of substantially all of its assets through an auction process. Although a number of bids were submitted to the company, none were acceptable as of the date of this filing. In the interim, on January 31, 2003, Novex entered into a licensing agreement with C.G.M., Inc. of Ben Salem, Pennsylvania, to market and distribute Novex's Por- Rok, Dash Patch and Sta-Dri products in exchange for a royalty payment of approximately 20% of the net invoice value to the customer. (See Item 6 below.) Inflation and Changing Prices Novex does not foresee any risks associated with inflation or substantial price increase in the near future. In addition, the raw materials that are used by Novex in the manufacturing of its materials are available locally through many sources and are for the most part commodity products. The one raw material that Novex uses in all its products that cannot be classified as a pure commodity is currently in sufficient supply. For these reasons, while Novex will always have exposure to inflationary risks, it does not believe that inflation will have any materially significant impact on its operations in the near future. Part II Other Information Item 1. Legal Proceedings In March, 2002, Dime Commercial Corp. Commenced a legal action against Novex to secure payment on the two outstanding notes and a separate action to seek foreclosure on the real property in an attempt to force the company to pay-off the notes in a reasonable time period. Since the filing of the actions, the court in the legal proceeding for payment on the notes provided Novex with injunctive relief whereby Novex could retain payments from customers on account and use a new bank account to fund its operations until the litigation is resolved. Item 2. Changes in Securities. None 3 Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities. See Item 1. above. Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders. None. Item 5. Other Information. On January 31, 2003, Novex entered into a licensing agreement with C.G.M., Inc. of Ben Salem, Pennsylvania, to market and distribute Novex's Por-Rok, Dash Patch and Sta-Dri products in exchange for a royalty payment of approximately 20% of the net invoice value to the customer. Item 6. Exhibits and Reports on Form 8-K. The substance of the following filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission is no longer valid due to a change in Novex's future business operations as set forth in greater detail above under the heading Subsequent Events. The Company filed a Form 8-K on November 5, 2002 with the Securities and Exchange Commission that the company has elected to divest of its operating business through a corporate auction. The company has pre-selected strategic buyers in the building products industry to assess the business and provide offers. The company has received some bids from potential buyers but has not accepted one at this time. The company would like to close the sale by January 31, 2003 and then seek a merger with a larger privately-held company that would be able to utilize the company's $8 million net operating loss and public-status to achieve its business objectives.

F-3 NOVEX SYSTEMS INTERNATIONAL, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SIX MONTHS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 2002 (unaudited) 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operation results for the six months ended November 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the result that may be expected for the year ended May 31, 2003. The unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended May 31, 2002. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has suffered from recurring losses from operations, including a net loss of $275,995 for the six months ended November 30, 2002, and has a negative working capital and shareholder deficiency as of November 30, 2002. The Company is also in default of its bank lines of credit and in arrears with paying payroll taxes. These factors raise substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. 2. LOSS PER SHARE Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. For the six months ended November 30, 2002 and 2001 diluted loss per share is the same as basic loss per share since the inclusion of stock options and warrants would be antidilutive. 3. INVENTORIES Inventories were determined based on the perpetual inventory system and consisted of the following: November 30, 2002 ----------------- Raw Material & Packaging $ 107,781 Finished Goods 37,490 ----------------- $ 145,271 ================= F-4 NOVEX SYSTEMS INTERNATIONAL, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SIX MONTHS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 2002 (unaudited) (continued) 4. WRITE OFF OF FINANCE COSTS During fiscal 2002, the Company recorded $160,000 of Deferred Expense related to a proposed sale-leaseback of its property. Effective October 23, 2002 the deal was terminated and these expenses were written off. 5. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS In December 2002, Novex undertook a sale of substantially all of its assets through an auction process. As of this filing, a number of bids have been submitted to the company but none were deemed acceptable offers. On January 31, 2003, Novex entered into a licensing agreement with C.G.M., Inc., to market and distribute Novex's Por-Rok, Dash Patch and Sta-Dri products in exchange for a royalty payment of approximately 20% of the net invoice value to the customer. In December 2002, a noteholder signed an agreement to forbear from pursuing any claims against claims against Novex to seek repayment of outstanding principal and interest due on promissory notes purchased from Novex. In consideration for signing the agreement, Novex agreed to pay the noteholder $50,000 on the additional condition that the noteholder tender to Novex for cancellation, 625,000 shares of Novex's $.001 par value common stock it is holding.
