PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

The following summary information is qualified in its entirety by the
information contained elsewhere in this prospectus. You should read the entire
prospectus, including "Risk Factors" and the financial statements before making
an investment decision.

NUWAVE

GENERAL

During the second half of 2001, we began commercializing our patented
technologies, having been a development stage enterprise since our organization
in July 1995. Our mission is to identify, develop and commercialize high-margin,
proprietary technologies suited for high-volume, high-growth markets and, in
turn, achieve attractive long-term growth for our company. Our focus to date has
been and continues to be on unique technology related to image and video
enhancement designed to enrich picture and video output with clearer, more
defined detail in texture, color, contrast and tone, at low cost. Our initial
products can be used by original equipment manufacturers ("OEM's") for placement
into products that produce images on display screens such as televisions or DVD
players, for supplementing and increasing video quality on existing television
monitors and video displays via set-top boxes containing our technology, and by
individuals over the Internet for improving their personal photographs. Our
patented high speed filtering technology removes approximately 70% of the
picture noise while retaining correct focus (the image and text in the image
does not blur). The three product lines based upon our proprietary technology
are: (1) the NUWAVE Video Processor ("NVP") Technology; (2) retail products; and
(3) digital filtering technology.

NVP Technology

The first technologies we are commercializing are in the fields of photo
and video-enhancement. We have developed proprietary video-enhancement
technology designed to significantly enhance video output devices with clearer,
sharper details and more vibrant colors when viewed on the display screen. This
is known as the NUWAVE Video Processor ("NVP") technology. We are marketing this
technology in the form of ASIC chips ("Application Specific Integrated
Circuits") directly to OEM's, who by incorporating this enabling technology
would improve picture quality in their televisions, VCR's, DVD's, camcorders,
set-top boxes and other video output devices. This technology can also be
licensed to the OEM for incorporation onto their own ASIC design. The completed
NVP 104 plastic (silicon) chip is currently being offered for sale. In June
2002, we are planning to introduce a step-up ASIC chip, the "NVP 1104," which
will be produced at not only a lower cost for both NUWAVE and the potential OEM
but should also allow for easier design implementation for the OEM.

Retail Products

During 2001, we completed development of the VGE set-top box for use with
video games and DVD's. This is our first retail product utilizing the NVP ASIC
chip. The VGE is a low-cost video game enhancer that provides home video
"gamers" with better video quality, to give game players an "edge" to improve
their scores. We know of no competitive device that is capable of similarly
enhancing a video game.

In late June 2001, we began introducing the VGE 101 through select
distributors and manufacturer representatives for placement in nationally known
retail chains. We also entered into a strategic sales and marketing agreement
with Partners in Europe ("PIE"), a Shannon, Ireland-based firm to establish a
full-scale European distribution, sales, marketing and warehousing operation for
NUWAVE. In December, we entered into a strategic alliance with Gemini Industries
("Gemini"), a leading manufacturer and distributor of consumer electronics
accessories. Gemini was granted a five-year exclusive license to market and
distribute NUWAVE's VGE in North America. The Gemini alliance supports our
strategy to obtain access to an established domestic retail distribution channel
for the specialized image enhancement products we develop. Additionally, it
allows us to allocate our time and resources away from costly retail marketing
and distribution processes, to focus on developing innovative technologies and
products for license to third parties with established marketing and
distribution channels. The Gemini relationship should reduce substantially our
sales and marketing costs and the need for an inventory build-up. We plan to
introduce several additional set top box video enhancement products to the
retail market during 2002.

Digital Software Technology

height of the recent Internet frenzy for direct sale to consumers. With the
downturn in the Internet boom we refocused our digital technology direction to
licensing it to OEMs. In March 2001, this software was upgraded to
PicturePrep(TM) Deluxe 2001 with new file management and uploading capabilities.
In October 2001, the digital filters used in PicturePrep Deluxe were granted
patent protection by the U.S. Patent Office. These filters remove graininess and
digital artifacts while preserving proper focus better than any other "real
time" filters that are on the market today. In April 2002, we signed an
agreement with Sony Corporation, giving it the non-exclusive right to use one of
our filters in its digital color printers in return for a nominal one-time
licensing fee.

We are concentrating our activities primarily on the sales of our ASIC line
of chips, the introduction and sales of our digital software technology and our
Internet presence to the OEM and professional video markets, the introduction of
additional video and image enhancement set-top boxes for retail distribution and
on the continuing development of our European sales presence.

We believe this focused digital and analog image enhancement product
strategy will provide our company with a technology base, product line and
services we can offer to potential customers. This positions us to take full
advantage of the significant video and photo growth opportunity presented by the
converging PC, Internet, television, HDTV and telecommunication markets. We
believe that the capacity of our administrative and support systems is
sufficient to allow us to expand our business without significant additional
capital expenditures.

Although we anticipate deriving increased revenues from the sale of our
ASIC chips and retail products and the licensing of our proprietary digital
software during 2002, no assurance can be given that these products will be
successfully marketed or that losses will not continue to occur during such
period. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources."

PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE OFFICES

Our principal executive offices are located at One Passaic Avenue,
Fairfield, New Jersey 07004. You can reach our principal executive offices by
telephone at (973) 882-8810 or by Internet at www.nuwaveinc.com.

THE OFFERING

This offering relates to the sale of common stock by certain persons who
are stockholders of NUWAVE. The selling stockholders consist of:

o Cornell Capital Partners, L.P., which intends to sell up to 5,218,095
shares of common stock.

o Another selling stockholder, which intends to sell up to 20,000 shares
of common stock issued upon our entry into the Equity Line of Credit
Agreement.

Pursuant to the Equity Line of Credit, over a period of 24 months we may,
at our discretion, periodically issue and sell to Cornell Capital Partners, L.P.
shares of common stock for a total purchase price of $3.0 million. The amount of
each advance is subject to an aggregate maximum advance amount of $100,000 in
any seven business day period. Cornell Capital Partners, L.P. will purchase the
shares of common stock for a 3% discount to the lowest closing bid price for the
five days immediately following the advance notice date. In addition, NUWAVE
will pay Cornell Capital Partners a fee of 4% of each advance. Upon entry into
the Equity Line of Credit Agreement, we paid a one-time commitment fee of
$150,000, payable in 218,095 shares of common stock. Cornell Capital Partners
intends to sell any shares purchased under the Equity Line of Credit and the
shares received as a fee at the then-prevailing market price. Among other
things, this prospectus relates to the shares of common stock to be issued under
the Equity Line of Credit.

RISK FACTORS

You should consider the following factors and other information in this
prospectus relating to our business and prospects before deciding to invest in
the securities. This investment involves a high degree of risk, and you should
purchase the securities only if you can afford to lose the entire sum invested
in these securities. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our
business, financial condition or operating results could be materially adversely
affected. In such case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and
you may lose all or part of your investment.

The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ
materially from those contained in forward-looking statements made in this
prospectus and presented elsewhere by management from time to time.

COMPANY RISKS

WE HAVE PRIMARILY BEEN A DEVELOPMENT STAGE ENTERPRISE WITH ONLY A LIMITED
OPERATING HISTORY.

Until June of 2001, we were a development stage enterprise. At that time we
shifted to commercialization and thus have had only a limited operating history.
Since our inception in July 1995, we have been engaged primarily in raising
funds and directing, supervising, and coordinating the activities of our
Advanced Engineering Group, made up of our own employees and third-party
consultants who work with us on a project-by-project basis, in the continuing
development of the NUWAVE Video Processor ("NVP") Technology, retail products
utilizing the NVP technology and our digital image enhancement software filters.
During the second half of 2001 we began producing and selling the NVP Video
Processor in an ASIC ("Application Specific Integrated Chip") format for the OEM
market and our first set-top box product utilizing the NVP technology the VGE
for the retail market (see "Business - Marketing and Sales"). Although we have
experienced some early success with these products, our prospects must be
considered in light of the risks associated with the establishment of a new and
small capitalized business in the evolving electronic video industry. In our
case this is particularly so, as further risks will be encountered in our shift
from the development to the commercialization of new products based on
innovative technology. There can be no assurance that we will be able to
generate significant revenues or achieve profitable operations.

WE HAVE A HISTORY OF INCURRING LOSSES AND WE ANTICIPATE THAT WE WILL CONTINUE TO
INCUR LOSSES.

To date, we have received only limited revenue from the sale of our
products. There can be no assurance that our technology and products will be
able to compete successfully in the marketplace and/or generate significant
revenue. We have incurred significant costs in connection with the development
of our technologies and proposed products and there is no assurance that it will
achieve sufficient revenues to offset anticipated operating costs. As of
December 31, 2001, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $24.4 million.
Although we anticipate deriving revenues from the sale of our VGE and NVP (Video
Processor) and related products and digital software products, no assurance can
be given that these products will be successfully marketed. Management
anticipates that we may continue to incur losses for at least the next twelve
months. Included in such former and future losses are research and development
expenses, marketing costs, and general and administrative expenses. We
anticipate that our losses will continue until we are able to generate
sufficient revenues to support our operations.

OUR CONTINUED DEVELOPMENT EFFORTS AND FUTURE GROWTH DEPEND UPON OUR ABILITY TO
RAISE ADDITIONAL CAPITAL WHICH MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE TO US WHEN NEEDED OR ON
ACCEPTABLE TERMS.

Our capital requirements in connection with our development activities have
been significant. We have been dependent upon the proceeds of sales of our
securities to private investors to fund our initial development activities.
Since our initial public offering in July 1996, we have obtained needed capital
through private placements of our securities. We anticipate, based on our
current proposed plans and assumptions relating to our operations, that we will
require additional capital in order to implement our business plan (see
"Liquidity and Capital Resources and Plan of Operation"). On April 15, 2002, we
entered into a $3 million Equity Line of Credit with Cornell Capital Partners,
L.P., pursuant to which we may, at our option, require Cornell Capital to
purchase shares of our common stock with a sales price of up to a maximum of $3
million over the next two years from the effective date of the registration
statement of which this prospectus is a part. See "Equity Line of Credit." In
their report of the audit of NUWAVE's financial statements for the year ended
December 31, 2001, our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph in

their report because of the uncertainty that we could continue in business
as a going concern. In the event we are unable to complete the sale of our
common stock pursuant to this equity line of credit, there would be substantial
doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. To the extent that any
future financing involves the sale of our equity securities, our existing
stockholders could be substantially diluted.

WE DEVELOP TECHNOLOGY AND PRODUCTS USING NEW CONCEPTS, SO THERE IS UNCERTAINTY
ABOUT MARKET ACCEPTANCE OF OUR PRODUCTS, AND WE HAVE LIMITED MARKETING
EXPERIENCE.

We develop technology and products using new concepts and designs in video
imagery and processing. Our prospects for success will depend on our ability to
successfully sell our products to key manufacturers and distributors who may be
inhibited from doing business with us because of their commitment to their own
technologies and products or because of our relatively small size and lack of
sales and production history. As a result, demand and market acceptance for our
technology and products are subject to a high level of uncertainty. We currently
have limited financial, personnel and other resources to undertake the extensive
marketing activities that will be necessary to market our technology and
products once their development is completed. No assurance can be given that any
of our potential customers will enter into any arrangements with us. Further,
there is no assurance that our marketing efforts will be successful.

WE DEPEND ON THE MANUFACTURERS OF PRODUCTS WHO WISH TO INCLUDE OUR NVP VIDEO
PROCESSOR TO MAKE DESIGN MODIFICATIONS NECESSARY TO INCORPORATE OUR TECHNOLOGY
INTO THEIR PRODUCTS.

Commercialization of the NVP Video Processor and sale to manufacturers of
the relevant video equipment will require such manufacturers to adopt new
circuit configurations to accommodate the relevant chip in their products.
Although the NVP Video Processor meets the various video broadcast standards, we
anticipate that manufacturers wishing to use the NVP Video Processor will make
such modifications because of the benefits derived from the improved performance
of their products and the relative simplicity of such modifications. However,
there is no assurance that such modifications will be made. Also, the cost of
such modifications may inhibit or prevent their adoption. Our ability to sell
and/or license our products would be adversely affected if designers and
manufacturers fail to make such modifications.

WE WILL RELY ON OTHERS TO MANUFACTURE OUR DEVICES, AND WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO
MEET CUSTOMER DEMAND IF OUR SUPPLIERS CANNOT MEET OUR QUANTITY AND QUALITY
REQUIREMENTS.

We do not plan to directly manufacture any of our products. We contract
with third parties to manufacture our NVP Video Processor and related retail
products. We may also license to third parties the rights to manufacture our
products, either through direct licensing, original equipment manufacturer
arrangements or otherwise.

We are dependent on third parties to manufacture our NVP ASIC (the
application specific integrated circuit-based NVP Video Processor) and related
products as well as future products we may choose to commercialize. There can be
no assurance that our current suppliers will dedicate sufficient production
capacity to satisfy our requirements within scheduled delivery times, or at all.
Failure or delay by our suppliers in fulfilling our anticipated needs would have
an adverse effect on our ability to develop and market our products. In
addition, we will be dependent on third-party vendors for many of the components
necessary for the final assembly of our products. We may have difficulty in
obtaining contractual agreements with suppliers of these materials due to, among
other things, possible material shortages or possible lack of adequate
purchasing power. While our management believes that these components are
available from multiple sources, it is anticipated that we will obtain certain
of them from a single source, or limited number of sources, of supply. In the
event that certain of these suppliers are unable or unwilling to provide us with
these components on commercially reasonable terms, or at all, delays in securing
alternative sources of supply would result and could have a material adverse
effect on our operations.

COMPETITION

Intense competition exists in the markets that we are in. Further, with
respect to the market for video editing, video production and video processing
products, significant price erosion over the life of a product exists. Our
products will directly compete with those of numerous well-established
companies, including the following companies, which design, manufacture and/or
market video technology and other products: Sony Electronics, Inc., Panasonic

Division of Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Motorola, Inc., Mitsubishi
International Corp., and Royal Philips Electronics, NV.

All of the above companies have substantially greater financial, technical,
personnel and other resources than we do for production and innovation of
products, and for marketing and sales. Further, each has established a
reputation for success in the development, licensing, sale and service of its
products and technology. In addition, certain of these competitors dominate
their industries and have the necessary financial resources to enable them to
withstand substantial price competition or downturns in the market for video
products.

OUR INDUSTRY IS CHARACTERIZED BY RAPID TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGES AND AGGRESSIVE
COMPETITION.

Rapid changes characterize the markets for our technology and products.
Further, evolving industry standards often result in product obsolescence or
short product life cycles. Certain companies may be developing technologies or
products which may be functionally similar, or superior, to some or all of our
proposed products. As a result, our ability to compete will depend on our
ability to, among other things: complete development and introduce to the
marketplace in a timely and cost-competitive manner our products and technology;
continually enhance and improve our products and technology; adapt our products
to be compatible with specific products manufactured by others; and successfully
develop and market new products and technology.

There is no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully or that
our competitors will not develop similar or competitive technologies or products
that render our products and technology obsolete or less marketable. Further,
there is no assurance that we will be able to successfully enhance our proposed
products or technology or adapt them satisfactorily.

TO THE EXTENT PRACTICABLE, WE HAVE FILED U.S. PATENTS AND/OR COPYRIGHT
APPLICATIONS, BUT THERE IS NO ASSURANCE THAT ANY PATENT OR COPYRIGHT WILL AFFORD
US COMMERCIALLY SIGNIFICANT PROTECTION.

To the extent practicable, we have filed and intend to file U.S. patents
and/or copyright applications for certain of our proposed products and
technology. We have also filed and intend to file corresponding applications in
key industrial countries worldwide.

In April 1996, we filed two patent applications on behalf of Rave for its
Randall connector system. One patent was received in November 1997 and the
second one in January 1998. Under the terms of the settlement agreement with
Rave, we retain the exclusive license rights to these patents. In April 1998, we
filed three patent applications for certain of our independently developed
products: one for the NUWAVE Video Processor and two for the Softsets. These
patents were granted in November 2000, February 2001 and May 2001, respectively.
In August 1999, we filed a patent application for our digital software
technology as used in PicturePrep product line. This patent was granted in
October 2001. There is no assurance that any patent will afford us with
commercially significant protection of our technology or that we will have
adequate resources to enforce our patents.

Management believes that the products we intend to market and sell do not
infringe the patents or other proprietary rights of third parties. Further, we
are not aware of any patents held by competitors that will prevent, limit or
otherwise interfere with our ability to make and sell our products. However, it
is possible that competitors may have applied for, or may in the future apply
for and obtain, patents which have an adverse impact on our ability to make and
sell our products. There is no assurance that competitors will not infringe our
patents. Defense and prosecution of patent suits, even if successful, are both
costly and time consuming. An adverse outcome in the defense of a patent suit
could subject us to significant liabilities to third parties, require disputed
rights to be licensed from third parties or require us to cease selling our
products.

NO DIVIDENDS

We have not paid any cash dividends to date. Payment of dividends on our
common stock is within the discretion of our board of directors and will depend
upon having earnings and our capital requirements and financial condition, and
other relevant factors. We do not intend to declare any dividends on our common
stock in the foreseeable future. Instead, we plan to retain any earnings we
receive for development of our business operations.

LIMITATION ON TAX LOSS CARRYFORWARDS

As of December 31, 2001, we had available unused net operating loss
carryforwards aggregating approximately $23.1 million to offset future federal
taxable income. The unused net operating loss carryforwards expire in various
years from 2010 to 2021. Under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
utilization of prior net operating loss carryforwards is limited after an
ownership change. We may be subject to limitations on the use of our net
operating loss carryforwards as provided under Section 382 by reason of prior
placements of our securities and future transactions. Accordingly, there can be
no assurance that a significant amount of the existing net operating loss
carryforwards will be available to use. In the event that we achieve
profitability, as to which there can be no assurance, such limitation would have
the effect of increasing our tax liability and reducing our net income and
available cash resources in the future.

INDEMNIFICATION AND LIMITATION ON LIABILITY OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

Our company's certificate of incorporation provides that we will indemnify
any of our directors, officers, employees or agents against actions, suits or
proceedings relating to our company and, subject to certain limitations, a
director shall not be personally liable for monetary damages for breach of his
duty of care. In addition, we have entered into an indemnification agreement
with each of our directors. Such indemnification agreement provides that a
director is entitled to indemnification to the fullest extent permitted by law.

WE MUST ATTRACT AND RETAIN KEY PERSONNEL IN ORDER TO REMAIN COMPETITIVE WHICH
MAY BE DIFFICULT GIVEN OUR SMALL SIZE AND LIMITED RESOURCES COMPARED TO MANY OF
OUR COMPETITORS.

Our operations depend largely on the continued employment of Mr. Gerald
Zarin, Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer. If Mr.
Zarin or other members of management or key personnel resign or otherwise leave
our company, our business and financial condition could be materially adversely
affected.

PROVISIONS IN THE EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT OF OUR PRESIDENT AND IN THE SEVERANCE
AGREEMENTS OF OUR EXECUTIVE OFFICERS ARE TRIGGERED BY A CHANGE IN CONTROL, WHICH
ALSO COULD DISCOURAGE UNSOLICITED TAKEOVER ATTEMPTS.

Provisions in the employment contract of our President and in the severance
agreement of one executive officer providing for various termination benefits
are triggered by certain changes in control of our company. Such provisions
could have the effect of discouraging, delaying or preventing unsolicited
takeover attempts.

PROVISIONS IN OUR COMPANY'S CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION COULD DISCOURAGE
UNSOLICITED TAKEOVER ATTEMPTS WHICH COULD DEPRESS THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR COMMON
STOCK.

Provisions of our company's certificate of incorporation and by-laws and of
Delaware law could discourage potential acquisition proposals and could delay or
prevent a change in control. Such provisions could diminish the opportunities
for a stockholder to participate in tender offers, including tender offers at a
price above the then-current market value of our common stock. Such provisions
may also inhibit fluctuations in the market price of our common stock that could
result from takeover attempts. In addition, our board of directors, without
further stockholder approval, may issue preferred stock that could have the
effect of delaying or preventing a change in control. The issuance of preferred
stock could also adversely affect the voting power of the holders of common
stock, including the loss of voting control to others.

MARKET PRICE FLUCTUATIONS

The trading price of our common stock may be subject to wide fluctuations
in response to quarter-to-quarter variations in operating results, general
conditions in the computer, video and telecommunications industries, changes in
earnings estimates, recommendations by analysts and other events.

OUR COMMON STOCK COULD BE DELISTED FROM THE NASDAQ SMALLCAP MARKET IF WE DO NOT
MEET THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR CONTINUED LISTING.

companies with listed shares have net tangible assets of $2 million (effective
November 1, 2002 this will change to $2.5 million in net equity) or market
capitalization of $35 million or net income (in the latest fiscal year or in two
of the last three fiscal years) of $500,000; and that the market value of the
public float of its common stock be at least $4 million. Since January 4, 2002,
the minimum bid price of our stock has been less than $1.00. We have been
notified by Nasdaq that we have until August 19, 2002 to regain compliance under
the minimum bid rule to avoid a delisting notification. At December 31, 2001, we
had net tangible assets of $1,287,000. We have also been notified by Nasdaq that
as of December 31, 2001, we did not meet the various financial tests. We intend
to raise additional cash through the Equity Line of Credit and other possible
equity financings in an attempt to regain compliance under the financial tests.
These equity financings should involve substantial dilution to the interests of
our then existing shareholders. There can be no assurance that such additional
capital will be available to us on commercially reasonable terms or at all.

OUR COMMON STOCK COULD BECOME SUBJECT TO "PENNY STOCK" RESTRICTIONS UNDER
FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS, WHICH COULD REDUCE THE LIQUIDITY OF OUR COMMON STOCK.

The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted regulations, which
generally define penny stocks to be an equity security that has a market price
less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share,
subject to certain exemptions. On April 23, 2002, the closing bid price for our
common stock, as quoted on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, was $.65 per share and
therefore, our common stock is designated a "Penny Stock." As a penny stock, our
common stock may become subject to Rule 15g-9 under the Exchange Act or the
Penny Stock Rule. This rule imposes additional sales practice requirements on
broker-dealers that sell such securities to persons other than established
customers and "accredited investors" (generally, individuals with a net worth in
excess of $1,000,000 or annual incomes exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 together
with their spouses). For transactions covered by Rule 15g-9, a broker-dealer
must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and have
received the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to sale. As a
result, this rule may affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell our
securities and may affect the ability of purchasers to sell any of our
securities in the secondary market.

For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules
require delivery, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, of a disclosure
schedule prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the
penny stock market. Disclosure is also required to be made about sales
commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative
and current quotations for the securities. Finally, monthly statements are
required to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held
in the account and information on the limited market in penny stock.

The penny stock restrictions will not apply to our common stock if we
continue to meet a $2,000,000 minimum net tangible assets and a $1.00 market
price. There can be no assurance that our common stock will continue to qualify
for exemption from the penny stock restrictions. In any event, even if our
common stock were exempt from the penny stock restrictions, we would remain
subject to Section 15(b)(6) of the Exchange Act, which gives the Securities and
Exchange Commission the authority to restrict any person from participating in a
distribution of penny stock, if the Securities and Exchange Commission finds
that such a restriction would be in the public interest.

OFFERING RISKS

FUTURE SALES BY OUR STOCKHOLDERS MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR STOCK PRICE AND OUR
ABILITY TO RAISE FUNDS IN NEW STOCK OFFERINGS

Sales of our common stock in the public market following this offering
could lower the market price of our common stock. Sales may also make it more
difficult for us to sell equity securities or equity-related securities in the
future at a time and price that our management deems acceptable or at all. Of
the 12,455,032 shares of common stock outstanding as of April 23, 2002,
9,049,353 shares are, or will be, freely tradable without restriction. The
remaining 3,405,679 shares of common stock held by our "affiliates" or persons
who recently purchased their shares from the company without Securities and
Exchange Commission registration are "restricted securities" and may be resold
in the public market only if registered or pursuant to an exemption from
registration. Some of these shares may be resold under Rule 144.

In addition, we have issued options to purchase up to 1,628,000 shares of
our common stock and warrants to purchase up to 9,349,980 shares of common
stock.

Upon issuance of the estimated maximum number of shares available under the
Equity Line of Credit, there will be an additional 5,000,000 shares of common
stock outstanding. The common stock to be issued under the Equity Line of Credit
will be issued at a 3% discount to the lowest closing bid price for the five
days immediately following the notice date of an advance. These discounted sales
could cause the price of our common stock to decline. It is anticipated that
Cornell Capital Partners, L.P., the purchaser under the Equity Line of Credit
and a selling stockholder herein, will seek to sell shares purchased under each
purchase installment prior to purchasing the next installment, thereby creating
continuous selling pressure on the market price of the common stock.

EXISTING STOCKHOLDERS WILL EXPERIENCE SIGNIFICANT DILUTION FROM OUR SALE OF
SHARES UNDER THE EQUITY LINE OF CREDIT

The sale of shares pursuant to the Equity Line of Credit will have a
dilutive impact on our stockholders. For a given advance, we will need to issue
a greater number of shares of common stock under the Equity Line of Credit as
our stock price declines. If our stock price is lower, then our existing
stockholders would experience greater dilution.

THE SALE OF OUR STOCK UNDER OUR EQUITY LINE OF CREDIT COULD ENCOURAGE SHORT
SALES BY THIRD PARTIES, WHICH COULD CONTRIBUTE TO THE FURTHER DECLINE OF OUR
STOCK PRICE

The significant downward pressure on the price of our common stock caused
by the sale of material amounts of common stock under the Equity Line of Credit
could encourage short sales by third parties. Such an event could place further
downward pressure on the price of our common stock.

OUR COMMON STOCK HAS BEEN RELATIVELY THINLY TRADED AND WE CANNOT PREDICT THE
EXTENT TO WHICH A TRADING MARKET WILL DEVELOP

Before this offering, our common stock has traded on the Nasdaq SmallCap
Market. Our common stock is thinly traded compared to larger more widely known
companies in our industry. Thinly traded common stock can be more volatile than
common stock trading in an active public market. We cannot predict the extent to
which an active public market for the common stock will develop or be sustained
after this offering.

THE PRICE YOU PAY IN THIS OFFERING WILL FLUCTUATE AND MAY BE HIGHER OR LOWER
THAN THE PRICES PAID BY OTHER PEOPLE PARTICIPATING IN THIS OFFERING

The price in this offering will fluctuate based on the prevailing market
price of the common stock on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market. Accordingly, the price
you pay in this offering may be higher or lower than the prices paid by other
people participating in this offering.

WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO ACCESS SUFFICIENT FUNDS UNDER THE EQUITY LINE OF CREDIT
WHEN NEEDED

We are dependent on external financing to fund our operations. Our
financing needs are expected to be provided from the Equity Line of Credit, in
large part. No assurances can be given that such financing will be available in
sufficient amounts or at all when needed.

THE ISSUANCE OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK UNDER THIS OFFERING COULD RESULT IN A
CHANGE OF CONTROL

We are registering 5,238,095 shares of common stock in this offering. These
shares represent 30% of the common stock to be outstanding assuming successful
completion of the sales under the Equity Line of Credit, and we anticipate all
such shares will be sold in this offering. If all or a significant block of
these shares are held by one or more stockholders working together, then such
stockholder or stockholders would have enough shares to assume control of NUWAVE
by electing its or their own directors.

USE OF PROCEEDS

This prospectus relates to shares of our common stock that may be offered
and sold from time to time by certain selling stockholders. There will be no
proceeds to us from the sale of shares of common stock in this offering.
However, we will receive the proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock to
Cornell Capital Partners, L.P. under the Equity Line of Credit. The Equity Line
of Credit calls for a maximum of $3 million of shares to be sold over a two-year
period.

For illustrative purposes, we have set forth below our intended use of
proceeds for the range of net proceeds indicated below to be received under the
Equity Line of Credit. The table assumes estimated offering expenses of $85,000
and commitment fees of 4% of the gross proceeds raised under the Equity Line of
Credit.

AMOUNT AMOUNT AMOUNT
------ ------ ------

GROSS PROCEEDS $1,000,000 $2,000,000 $3,000,000

DILUTION

The net tangible book value of NUWAVE as of December 31, 2001 was
($1,287,000) or ($0.11) per share of common stock. Net tangible book value per
share is determined by dividing the tangible book value of NUWAVE (total
tangible assets less total liabilities) by the number of outstanding shares of
our common stock. Since this offering is being made solely by the selling
stockholders and none of the proceeds will be paid to NUWAVE, our net tangible
book value will be unaffected by this offering. Our net tangible book value,
however, will be impacted by the common stock to be issued under the Equity Line
of Credit. The amount of dilution will depend on the offering price and number
of shares to be issued under the Equity Line of Credit. The following example
shows the dilution to new investors at an offering price of $.60 per share.

If we assume that NUWAVE had issued 5,000,000 shares of common stock under
the Equity Line of Credit at an assumed offering price of $.60 per share (i.e.,
the maximum number of shares registered in this offering under the Equity Line
of Credit excluding the 238,095 shares issued as a commitment fee and the
placement agent's fee), less offering expenses of $85,000, our net tangible book
value as of December 31, 2001, would have been $4,082,000 or $0.25 per share.
Note that at an offering price of $.60 per share, NUWAVE would receive gross
proceeds of $3.0 million, or all available funds under the Equity Line of
Credit. Such an offering would represent an immediate increase in net tangible
book value to existing stockholders of $2,795,000 per share and an immediate
dilution to new stockholders of $0.35 per share, or 59%. The following table
illustrates the per share dilution:

Assumed public offering price per share $0.60

Net tangible book value per share before this offering $0.11

Increase attributable to new investors $0.14
-----

Net tangible book value per share after this offering $0.25
-----

Dilution per share to new stockholders $0.35
=====

The offering price of our common stock is based on the then-existing market
price. In order to give prospective investors an idea of the dilution per share
they may experience, we have prepared the following table showing the dilution
per share at various assumed offering prices:

ASSUMED OFFERING NUMBER OF SHARES TO BE DILUTION PER SHARE TO NEW
PRICE ISSUED(1) INVESTORS
----- --------- ---------

$0.80 3,750,000 $0.53

$0.60 5,000,000 $0.35

$0.50 5,000,000 $0.28

(1) This represents the maximum number of shares of common stock that will be
registered under the Equity Line of Credit.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The selling stockholders have advised us that the sale or distribution of
NUWAVE's common stock owned by the selling stockholders may be effected directly
to purchasers by the selling stockholders or by pledgees, donees, transferees or
other successors in interest, as principals or through one or more underwriters,
brokers, dealers or agents from time to time in one or more transactions (which
may involve crosses or block transactions) (i) on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market or
in any other market on which the price of NUWAVE's shares of common stock are
quoted or (ii) in transactions otherwise than on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market or
in any other market on which the price of NUWAVE's shares of common stock are
quoted. Any of such transactions may be effected at market prices prevailing at
the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices, at varying
prices determined at the time of sale or at negotiated or fixed prices, in each
case as determined by the selling stockholders or by agreement between the
selling stockholders and underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents, or
purchasers. If the selling stockholders effect such transactions by selling
their shares of NUWAVE's common stock to or through underwriters, brokers,
dealers or agents, such underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents may receive
compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the
selling stockholders or commissions from purchasers of common stock for whom
they may act as agent (which discounts, concessions or commissions as to
particular underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents may be in excess of those
customary in the types of transactions involved). The selling stockholders and
any brokers, dealers or agents that participate in the distribution of the
common stock may be deemed to be underwriters, and any profit on the sale of
common stock by them and any discounts, concessions or commissions received by
any such underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents may be deemed to be
underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act.

Cornell Capital Partners, L.P. is an "underwriter" within the meaning of
the Securities Act of 1933 in connection with the sale of common stock under the
Equity Line of Credit. Cornell Capital Partners, L.P. will pay NUWAVE 97% of the
lowest closing bid price of NUWAVE's common stock on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market
or other principal trading market on which our common stock is traded for the
five days immediately following the advance notice date. In addition, Cornell
Capital Partners will receive a fee of 4% of the proceeds received by NUWAVE
under the Equity Line of Credit, plus a one-time commitment fee of $150,000
payable in 218,085 shares of common stock. The 3% discount, the 4% fee and the
one-time commitment fee are underwriting discounts.

In addition, NUWAVE engaged Westrock Advisors, Inc., a registered
broker-dealer, to advise it in connection with the Equity Line of Credit. For
its services, Westrock Advisors, Inc. received 20,000 shares of NUWAVE's common
stock.

Cornell Capital Partners, L.P. was formed in February 2000 as a Delaware
limited partnership. Cornell Capital Partners is a domestic hedge fund in the
business of investing in and financing public companies. Cornell Capital
Partners does not intend to make a market in NUWAVE's stock or to otherwise
engage in stabilizing or other transactions intended to help support the stock
price. Prospective investors should take these factors into consideration before
purchasing NUWAVE's common stock.

Under the securities laws of certain states, the shares of common stock may
be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers.
The selling stockholders are advised to ensure that any underwriters, brokers,
dealers or agents effecting transactions on behalf of the selling stockholders
are registered to sell securities in all fifty states. In addition, in certain
states the shares of common stock may not be sold unless the shares have been
registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from registration
or qualification is available and is complied with.

We will pay all the expenses incident to the registration, offering and
sale of the shares of common stock to the public hereunder other than
commissions, fees and discounts of underwriters, brokers, dealers and agents. We
have agreed to indemnify Cornell Capital Partners and its controlling persons
against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. We
estimate that the expenses of the offering to be borne by us will be
approximately $85,000, as well as retention of 4% of the gross proceeds received
under the Equity Line of Credit. In addition, the offering expenses consist of:
a Securities and Exchange Commission registration fee of $751, printing expenses
of $5,000, accounting fees of $10,000, legal fees of $40,000 and miscellaneous
expenses of $29,249. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of any of
the shares of common stock by the selling stockholders. We will, however,
receive proceeds from the sale of common stock under the Equity Line of Credit.

The selling stockholders should be aware that the anti-manipulation
provisions of Regulation M under the Exchange Act will apply to purchases and
sales of shares of common stock by the selling stockholders, and that there are
restrictions on market-making activities by persons engaged in the distribution
of the shares. Under Registration M, the selling stockholders or their agents
may not bid for, purchase, or attempt to induce any person to bid for or
purchase, shares of common stock of NUWAVE while such selling stockholders are
distributing shares covered by this prospectus. Accordingly, except as noted
below, the selling stockholders are not permitted to cover short sales by
purchasing shares while the distribution is taking place. Cornell Capital
Partners can cover any short positions only with shares received from NUWAVE
under the Equity Line of Credit. The selling stockholders are advised that if a
particular offer of common stock is to be made on terms constituting a material
change from the information set forth above with respect to the Plan of
Distribution, then, to the extent required, a post-effective amendment to the
accompanying registration statement must be filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.

EQUITY LINE OF CREDIT

Summary

On April 15, 2002, we entered into an Equity Line of Credit with Cornell
Capital Partners, L.P. Pursuant to the Equity Line of Credit, we may, at our
discretion, periodically sell to Cornell Capital Partners shares of common stock
for a total purchase price of up to $3.0 million. For each share of common stock
purchased under the Equity Line of Credit, Cornell Capital Partners will pay 97%
of the lowest closing bid price on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market or other principal
market on which our common stock is traded for the five days immediately
following the advance notice date. Cornell Capital Partners is a private limited
partnership whose business operations are conducted through its general partner,
Yorkville Advisors, LLC. Further, Cornell Capital Partners will be paid a fee of
4% of each advance under the Equity Line of Credit. The effectiveness of the
sale of the shares under the Equity Line of Credit is conditioned upon us
registering the shares of common stock with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. The costs associated with this registration will be borne by us.

The Equity Line of Credit is non-exclusive, thereby permitting us to offer
and sell our securities to third parties while the Equity Line of Credit is in
effect. We can terminate the Equity Line of Credit Agreement at any time,
provided there is no pending advance thereunder.

Equity Line of Credit Explained

Pursuant to the Equity Line of Credit, we may periodically sell shares of
common stock to Cornell Capital Partners, L.P. to raise capital to fund our
working capital needs. The periodic sale of shares is known as an advance. We
may request an advance every seven trading days. A closing will be held six
trading days after such written notice at which time we will deliver shares of
common stock and Cornell Capital Partners, L.P. will pay the advance amount.

We may request the initial advance under the Equity Line of Credit upon the
effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.
Thereafter, we may continue to request advances until Cornell Capital Partners
has advanced $3.0 million or two years after the effective date of the
registration statement, whichever occurs first.

The amount of each advance is subject to an aggregate maximum advance
amount of $100,000 in any seven business day period. The amount available under
the Equity Line of Credit is not dependent on the price or volume of our common
stock.

We cannot predict the actual number of shares of common stock that will be
issued pursuant to the Equity Line of Credit, in part, because the purchase
price of the shares will fluctuate based on prevailing market conditions and we
have not determined the total amount of advances we intend to draw. Nonetheless,
we can estimate the number of shares of our common stock that will be issued
using certain assumptions. Assuming NUWAVE issued the maximum number of shares
of common stock being registered in the accompanying registration statement at a
recent price of $0.60 per share, NUWAVE would issue 5,000,000 shares of common
stock to Cornell Capital Partners, L.P. for gross proceeds of $3.0 million, or
all available funds under the Equity Line of Credit. These shares would
represent 29% of our outstanding common stock upon issuance. However, under the
Equity Line of Credit Agreement, we cannot request an advance that would cause
Cornell Capital Partners, L.P. to beneficially own more than 9.9% of our
outstanding common stock. NUWAVE is registering 5,000,000 shares of common stock
for the sale under the Equity Line of Credit.

The issuance of shares under the Equity Line of Credit may result in a
change of control. That is, up to 5,000,000 shares of common stock could be
issued under the Equity Line of Credit (i.e., the maximum number of shares being
registered in the accompanying registration statement). If all or a significant
block of these shares are held by one or more stockholders working together,
then such stockholder or stockholders would have enough shares to assume control
of NUWAVE by electing its or their own directors.

Proceeds used under the Equity Line of Credit will be used in the manner
set forth in the "Use of Proceeds" section of this prospectus. We cannot predict
the total amount of proceeds to be raised in this transaction because we have
not determined the total amount of the advances we intend to draw.

You should be aware that there is an inverse relationship between our stock
price and the number of shares to be issued under the Equity Line of Credit.
That is, as our stock price declines, we would be required to issue a greater
number of shares under the Equity Line of Credit for a given advance. This
inverse relationship is demonstrated by the following table, which shows the
number of shares to be issued under the Equity Line of Credit at a recent price
of $0.65 per share and 25% and 50% discounts to the recent price. This table
does not take into account any shares of our common stock that would be issued
upon exercise of options or warrants.

Capital Partners, L.P. at the prices set forth in the table, and assumes

See the cover page of this prospectus for the last sales price of the
common stock reported on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market as of a recent date.

The National Association of Securities Dealers maintains requirements for
the continued listing on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market that include the following:
the listed shares of common stock have a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share;
companies with listed shares have net tangible assets of $2 million (effective
November 1, 2002 this will change to $2.5 million in net equity) or market
capitalization of $35 million or net income (in the latest fiscal year or in two
of the last three fiscal years) of $500,000; and that the market value of the
public float of its common stock be at least $4 million. Since January 4, 2002,
the minimum bid price of our stock has been less than $1.00. We have been
notified by Nasdaq that we have until August 19, 2002 to regain compliance under
the minimum bid rule to avoid a delisting notification. At December 31, 2001, we
had net tangible assets of $1,287,000. We have also been notified by Nasdaq that
as of December 31, 2001, we did not meet the various financial tests. We intend
to raise additional cash through the Equity Line of Credit and other possible
equity financings in an attempt to regain compliance under the financial tests.
These equity financings should involve substantial dilution to the interests of
our then existing shareholders. There can be no assurance that such additional
capital will be available to us on commercially reasonable terms or at all.

On March 15, 2002, there were approximately 220 holders of record of our
common stock. This number does not include beneficial owners of the common stock
whose shares are held in the names of various dealers, clearing agencies, banks,
brokers and other fiduciaries.

Our initial public offering warrants and Class A common stock purchase
warrants are included on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market under the symbols "WAVEW"
and "WAVEZ" respectively.

GENERAL

In 2001, we began commercializing our technologies, having been a
development stage enterprise since our organization in July 1995. Our mission is
to identify, develop and commercialize high-margin, proprietary technologies
suited for high-volume, high-growth markets and, in turn, achieve attractive
long-term growth for our company. We have been focusing on technology related to
image and video enhancement designed to enrich picture and video output with
clearer, more defined detail in texture, color, contrast and tone, at low cost.
Our initial products can be used by original equipment manufacturers ("OEM's")
for placement into products that have or utilize display screens such as
televisions or DVD players, for supplementing and increasing video quality on
existing television monitors and video displays via set-top boxes containing our
technology, and by individuals over the Internet for improving their personal
photographs. Our patented high speed filtering technology removes approximately
70% of the picture noise while retaining correct focus (the image and text in
the image does not blur). We have developed and are currently marketing three
product lines based upon our proprietary technology. These products are: (1) the
NUWAVE Video Processor ("NVP") Technology; (2) Retail Products and (3) Digital
Filtering Technology (see "Marketing and Sales").

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2001 were $505,000 as compared to
$14,000 for the prior year. This was a direct result of the introduction and
sales of our VGE retail product and our ASIC chips. Cost of sales for 2001 was
$308,000 versus $4,000 for 2000 also as a direct result of the increased sales.
Research and development costs for the year ended December 31, 2001, were
$1,165,000; a reduction of $18,000 from the prior year. This reduction included
a decrease in engineering salaries and outside consulting fees of $257,000 and
miscellaneous related costs of $10,000, primarily due the completion of the
initial development of our core technologies. These reduced development costs
were partially offset by an increase in amortization and write-off of
development costs related to the PicturePrep software and the PicturePrepCub.com
Web site over 2000 of $249,000. General and administrative expenses for the year
ended December 31, 2001 were $3,699,000; an increase of from the prior year.
Such increases were primarily a result of accounting treatment for performance
stock options granted during 2001 ($226,000), increased legal fees as a result
of additional Securities and Exchange Commission filings and contract work
during 2001 ($144,000) and other ($15,000). Interest expense (net of interest
income) for the year ended December 31, 2001 was $76,000 as compared to $264,000
for the prior year as a result of lower cash balances throughout 2001 compared
to 2000. During the year ended 2001 we showed a benefit arising from income
taxes of $318,000 as compared to a provision for income taxes in 2000 of
$66,000. This change is a direct result of estimates posted for the sale of
state tax credits based on a special New Jersey State program. As a result of
the above we had a net loss for the year ended December 31, 2001, of $4,273,000

compared to a net loss for the year ended December 31, 2000, of $4,289,000, a
decrease in losses of $16,000.

The net loss for the year ended December 31, 2000, of $4,289,000 compared
to a net loss for the year ended December 31, 1999, of $2,691,000, an increase
in losses of $1,598,000. The increased losses for the year ended 2000 were
primarily attributable to increases in advertising and trade show expenses of
$581,000 relating to the introduction of the PicturePrep 2000 product and the
opening of our photo portal PicturePrepClub.com; an increase in payroll costs of
approximately $130,000 relating to the addition of two marketing personnel; an
increase in amortization charges relating to the issuance of stock options to
third party consultants of $107,000; increases in research and development costs
of $244,000 and a reduction in our provision for income tax benefits of
$975,000. The increase in research and development costs of $244,000 was
principally related to the final stages of development of the NVP 104 chip,
development of PicturePrep technology and costs related to the development of
our on-line photo portal. These increases were partially offset by an increase
in interest income of $100,000 and one-time charges of $339,000 incurred during
1999 relating to the results of an arbitration settlement with Rave Engineering
Corp.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

From our inception until the IPO in 1996, we relied for all of our funding
($2,900,000 in cash plus the cancellation of the notes in the principal amount
of $350,000) on private sales of our debt and equity securities ("Private
Financings"). In July 1996, we completed our IPO and received net proceeds of
$9,538,428. We used $2,073,652 of the net proceeds of the IPO to repay the
principal and interest on the outstanding notes issued to investors in
connection with the Private Financings. On February 6, 1998, we issued 253,485
shares of our Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $1,000,000 to a
Private Limited Partnership. Between May 19, 1998 and June 9, 1998, pursuant to
a placement agency agreement with Janssen-Meyers Associates, L.P.
("Janssen-Meyers"), we issued 2,742,904 shares of our Common Stock and 2,057,207
Class A Redeemable Warrants for an aggregate purchase price of $7,280,546.

On March 14, 2000, we completed a private placement with Janssen-Meyers
whereby we issued 2,088,608 shares of our Common Stock and 1,044,304 Redeemable
Common Stock Purchase Warrants for an aggregate purchase price of $6,600,000.

During the period, beginning August 28, 2001 and ending November 12, 2001,
we issued a total of 844,922 of our shares at a reduced exercise price of $1 to
the holders of certain of our placement agent warrants. These warrants were
originally issued to the placement agent in connection with two private
placements of our equity in May 1998 and March 2000 at exercise prices of $3.24
and $3.95 respectively. As a special incentive offer to the holders of the
placement agent warrants, the original exercise prices was reduced during the
period August 15, 2001 to January 15, 2002.

On February 5, 2002, we entered into a private placement agreement with
investors whereby we issued 600,000 shares of our Common Stock for an aggregate
purchase price of $330,000. On February 27, 2002, we entered into an agreement
with an investor whereby we issued 214,286 shares of Common Stock and warrants
to purchase up to 50,000 shares of Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price
of $150,000. The warrants have an exercise price of $1.00 per share with
exercise period of five years expiring February 27, 2007.

On April 15, 2002, we entered into a $3 million Equity Line of Credit with
Cornell Capital Partners, L.P. Provided we are in compliance with the terms of
the Equity Line of Credit Agreement, including the effective registration of
shares to be sold, we may, at our option, require the Cornell Capital Partners
to purchase up to $100,000 in any seven business day period of our common stock,
up to a maximum of $3 million over the two years immediately following the
effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.
The purchase price of the shares will be 97% of the then current market price.
In addition, we have issued as a fee to Cornell Capital Partners of 218,095
shares of restricted stock with a fair value of $150,000. Upon the initial

advance and all subsequent advances, Cornell Capital Partners shall receive a
fee equal to 4% of the gross proceeds of each advance.

We anticipate that with our cash currently on hand and the completion of an
effective registration statement relating to the Equity Line of Credit, we will
be able to satisfy contemplated cash requirements for at least through the next
twelve months. In their report on the audit of NUWAVE's financial statements for
the year ended December 31, 2001, our independent auditors included an
explanatory paragraph in their report because of the uncertainty that we
could continue in business as a going concern. In the event, we are unable to
complete a registration and sale of our Common Stock pursuant to this agreement;
there would be substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going
concern.

BUSINESS

GENERAL

NVP Technology

The first technologies we are commercializing are in the fields of photo
and video-enhancement. We have developed proprietary video-enhancement
technology designed to significantly enhance video output devices with clearer,
sharper details and more vibrant colors when viewed on the display screen. This
is known as the NUWAVE Video Processor ("NVP") technology. We are marketing this
technology in the form of ASIC chips ("Application Specific Integrated
Circuits") directly to OEM's, who by incorporating this enabling technology
would improve picture quality in their televisions, VCR's, DVD's, camcorders,
set-top boxes and other video output devices. This technology can also be
licensed to the OEM for incorporation onto their own ASIC design. The completed
NVP 104 plastic (silicon) chip is currently being offered for sale. In June
2002, we are planning to introduce a step-up ASIC chip, the "NVP 1104," which
will be produced at not only a lower cost for both NUWAVE and the potential OEM
but will also allow for easier design implementation for the OEM.

Retail Products

In late June 2001, we began introducing the VGE 101 through select
distributors and manufacturer's representatives for placement in nationally
known retail chains. We also entered into a strategic sales and marketing
agreement with Partners in Europe ("PIE"), a Shannon, Ireland-based firm to
establish a full-scale European distribution, sales, marketing and warehousing
operation for NUWAVE. In December, we entered into a strategic alliance with
Gemini Industries ("Gemini"), a leading manufacturer and distributor of consumer
electronics accessories. Gemini was granted a five-year exclusive license to
market and distribute NUWAVE's VGE in North America. The Gemini alliance
supports our strategy to obtain access to an established domestic retail
distribution channel for the specialized image enhancement products we develop.
Additionally, it allows us to allocate our time and resources away from costly
retail marketing and distribution processes, to focus on developing innovative
technologies and products for license to third parties with established
marketing and distribution channels. The Gemini relationship should reduce
substantially our sales and marketing costs and the need for an inventory
build-up. We plan to introduce several additional set top box video enhancement
products to the retail market during 2002.

Digital Software Technology

During 2000, we completed the initial development of our first proprietary
digital photo and video software technology and launched the PicturePrep(TM)
2000 product line. The initial PicturePrep technology was developed at the
height of the recent Internet frenzy for direct sale to consumers. With the
downturn in the Internet boom we refocused our digital technology direction. In
March 2001, this software was upgraded to PicturePrep(TM) Deluxe 2001 with new
file management and uploading capabilities. In October 2001, the digital filters
used in PicturePrep Deluxe were granted patent protection by the US Patent
Office. These filters remove graininess and digital artifacts while preserving
proper focus better than any other "real time" filters that are on the market
today.

BACKGROUND--VIDEO IMAGES

The human eye perceives all images as a result of its ability to recognize
light. Light travels as continuous electromagnetic waves ("Analog Light Waves")
that are either emitted by the object being observed or reflected from it.
Analog Light Waves vary in frequency and amplitude, and can be directly captured
as images. For example, in photography, light waves strike film treated with
certain chemicals and the energy from the light wave causes chemical reactions
that change the translucency of the film. As a result, the image can be
recreated by again passing light through the film. In computers, visual images
can be stored and manipulated after Analog Light Waves have been broken down
into smaller constituent parts expressed as digital signals. These digital
signals are transmitted as bits and then reconstituted into Analog Light Waves
visible to the human eye.

Broadcast television technology is based on Analog Light Wave
transmissions. Analog Light Waves are captured by an electronic television
camera and turned into usable electrical energy in the form of lower frequency
waves in the form of electrical currents in an electric circuit ("Analog Video
Waves"). That wave is transmitted to a receiver, where it is projected at the
standard broadcast rate of 30 frames per second ("fps") against a phosphorescent
screen. The screen then emits Analog Light Waves, making the image visible to
the human eye.

Modern video telecommunications, such as satellite broadcasting and cable
television, generally combine both analog and digital processes in order to
capture and transmit images. For example, in digital satellite video
telecommunication the image is digitized by a computer processor and then
broadcast to a satellite. The digital information is received and rebroadcast by
the satellite directly to a receiver, and then reconstituted into energy in the
form of an analog wave and displayed at 30 fps to create a visible image.

Bandwidths available for satellite video transmission are limited by the
Federal Communications Commission ("FCC"). These limitations significantly
restrict the amount of information that can be transmitted in any time interval
and require most information to be transmitted in a compressed digitized format.

Given the physical limitations of satellite, cable and telephone systems,
and their increasing interactivity, ever more emphasis is being placed on
compression technology as a means to allow more data to be transmitted in any
time interval. Using a variety of techniques, portions of a digital description
of an image are omitted in the transmission of information, and, by mathematical
formula or inference, most of the omitted data is then replaced after reception.

The result of this compression technology has been to increase the number of
channels available for digital satellite broadcasting from 50 to 150, and to
significantly improve the quality of images transmitted over the Internet. We
believe that improvements in the amount of compression possible will continue.
However, as the amount of compression increases, more data will likely be lost,
and the quality of the image will deteriorate.

Image information may be lost in the process of compression or distorted
during recording, transmission or playback because of various factors, including
signal interference or deterioration of original film quality and camera focus.
Some of the problems from this loss or distortion of image information include
lack of clarity, a "washed out" look and reduced or inadequate black level.

One of the methods used to compress digitized video information for storage
and transmission, other than television transmission, is to eliminate frames. A
phenomenon causing analogous results occurs when the hard drive of a computer,
or some other component, cannot retrieve or present data at sufficiently high
fps. In either case, image movement is erratic and unrealistic. Regardless of
whether the signal is compressed, the image may be subject to random salt and
pepper noise patterns.

OUR COMPANY'S VIDEO ENHANCEMENT PRODUCTS

The NVP Technology

Our patented NVP controls, corrects and improves analog video signals using
digital control (software). The NVP first detects and replaces all important
picture synchronization and stability attributes. It then corrects the color and
black-and-white information. The NVP enhances fine details of an image and
reduces distortions incurred in the course of transmitting the image, corrects
the pure black content of images and adjusts perceived light on projected
images. Fine detail enhancement is achieved by a proprietary circuit that
analyzes the form of the analog waves at the point of origin or display, and
processes the wave to significantly increase the clarity of the image.

The NVP achieves "blackness" correction by establishing a "reference to
true black" and adjusting the rest of the color spectrum to that reference,
making a "washed out" image appear more vivid. Similar referencing currently is
available only in expensive video display units, TV monitors and projection
systems; the NVP's proprietary circuits enable the process to be performed
inexpensively on a printed circuit board, ASIC or a small portion of a
integrated circuit chip.

The NVP also contains circuits that provide for the adjustment of light in
images and brightness of the colors presented, similar to circuits traditionally
included in televisions.

The NVP can be used prior to further processing of the Analog Video Wave at
the source of the video signal and/or at the other end of the process prior to
the display of the video image. In the form of a chip, it can be included in a
television set, video projector or in a video conference display or in the
decoder or routing box that connects a typical television to a cable
broadcasting company or a multichannel satellite provider. The NVP also can be
included in any personal computer that has a video capture board, a device
enabling the computer to convert standard broadcast video signals into a
digitized form. This enables the image to be enhanced prior to digitization.

We have developed patented Softsets to control the functions of the NVP.
The Softsets give both end-users and manufacturers who use the NVP in their
products the ability to manipulate the attributes of video images to their own
taste or standards. For example, the manufacturer of a set-top box who includes
the NVP and Softsets in its product could offer viewers the ability to select
predetermined optimum video parameters for "Sports," "Movies," "Drama" or other
predesignated programming from their remote control ("Active Softsets").
Additionally, program providers or other transmitters can encode their signal so
that a receiving device containing the Softsets and enhanced NVP will
automatically adjust its video parameters to a predetermined value when the
signal is received ("Passive Softsets"). The encoded signal can also be included
in the actual programming.

Digital Video and Photo Software Video Enhancement Technology

We have developed a proprietary technology to remove noise, graininess in
pictures, to complement our clarity technology used in the NVP-104 ASIC. The
result of this development is a set of patented algorithms that remove 70% of
the picture noise while retaining correct focus (the image does not blur). In
addition, the NUWAVE algorithm process is three times faster than any other

known algorithm or filter thus allowing use in and during real time streaming
video.

We believe our company has proprietary solutions for sale in both analog
and digital form to meet the continuing evolution and convergence of the PC to
television markets and the worldwide trend away from analog devices toward
digital devices.

Other Potential Products

Our company, both internally and through the use of outside consultants,
continues to conduct investigation and research and development with respect to
other new technologies/products to address the digital, PC and Internet markets,
which are new markets for us to participate in. We intend to continue to use
outside consultants to assure exposure to new ideas and technology. These
activities may give rise to additional products that we may commercialize.
However, there can be no assurance that our efforts will result in marketable
products or products that can be produced at commercially acceptable costs or
that we will have sufficient funds available to support the development and
commercialization of such products.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

Our Advanced Engineering Group currently operates to support the continuing
development of our products and related technology, and the identification of
additional sources of new technology. We utilize our Advanced Engineering Group
to create products and technology. These products and technology include the
NVP, a significant amount of the software included in each of its products and
new circuitry to allow this technology to be produced as an ASIC chip and the
proprietary digital software photo and video enhancement technology utilized in
our first Internet and retail software product PicturePrep. During 2001, we
completed development of the VGE set-top box utilizing the NVP ASIC chip for use
with video games and DVD's. This is our first retail product utilizing the NVP
ASIC chip. The VGE 101 is a low-cost video game enhancer that provides home
video "gamers" with better video quality, to give game players an "edge" to
improve their scores. In addition to the VGE, which utilizes the NVP 104 chip as
its core technology, our engineering group is finalizing development of five
additional NVP derivative set-top boxes for the consumer retail and professional
marketplaces. These products are expected to be available within the next six
months. We are also nearing completion of the NVP 1104 ASIC chip, a step-up
product to the current NVP 104 ASIC. The NVP 1104 is expected to be completed in
June 2002.

The Advanced Engineering Group consists of four of our employees, together
with outside consultant organizations who have on their respective staffs
engineers, technicians and support personnel who devote time to our company on
an as-needed project-by-project basis. We anticipate that the make-up of our
Advanced Engineering Group will change from time to time, depending on our
current and anticipated development and commercialization plans. Our strategy
with respect to new products and technologies is to continue to utilize the
Advanced Engineering Group as well as other independent third party sources and
to increase its internal technical and engineering staff as appropriate.

During fiscal 2001 and 2000, $1,165,000 and $1,183,000, respectively, was
spent on research and development activities. During the year ending December
31, 2002, we estimate that we will spend approximately $700,000 on research and
development. Any increases or decreases to these research and development
expenditure estimates are expected to be directly related to revenues generated
from our current and forecasted product line-up.

MARKETING AND SALES

Utilizing our proprietary technologies, we have completed development of
three product lines: (1) retail products; (2) the NUWAVE Video Processor
Technology; and (3) Digital Software (PicturePreptm Technology). These three
product lines are currently being marketed to their respective distribution
channels as follows:

Retail Products

In June 2001, we began introducing the VGE through select distributors and
manufacturer's representatives for placement in nationally known retail chains.
As a result of these initiatives, the VGE was placed in over 2,500 U.S. retail
outlets during the second half of 2001. In December 2001 we entered into a
strategic alliance with Gemini Industries ("Gemini"), a leading manufacturer and

distributor of consumer electronics accessories. Gemini was granted a five-year
exclusive license to market and distribute NUWAVE's VGE in North America. As
part of the agreement, Gemini placed an initial order consisting of a
combination of finished goods inventory together with our proprietary ASIC's
totaling 25,000 units. The agreement contains a minimum annual purchase quantity
of 100,000 units taken down on a monthly basis beginning in July 2002. Gemini,
which sells products under the Philips, Zenith and Magnavox brands, also
received the "right of first offer" on future versions of the VGE, as well as
future video and image enhancement set-top boxes for retail distribution. Gemini
expects to begin marketing the VGE under the Zenith brand in July 2002. We
expect to offer several additional set-top box products to Gemini under their
right of first offer over the next six months.

This alliance combines the respective strengths of each company. We will
license our proprietary technology to Gemini, who will then manufacture, market
and distribute the VGE to its customer base, which covers approximately 17,000
retail locations in North America. The alliance supports our strategy to obtain
access to an established retail distribution channel for the specialized image
enhancement products we develop. Additionally, it allows us to allocate our time
and resources away from costly retail marketing and distribution processes, to
focus on developing innovative technologies and products for license to third
parties with established marketing and distribution channels.

Also in June 2001, we entered into a strategic sales and marketing
agreement with Partners in Europe ("PIE"), a Shannon, Ireland-based firm
offering complete business solutions to North American companies seeking to
establish or expand their European business. Under the agreement, PIE was to
establish a full-scale European distribution, sales, marketing and warehousing
operation for NUWAVE. The VGE was initially placed in over 500 retail locations
throughout the U.K. VGE sales in Europe for the year 2001 amounted to $118,000
net of returns and were less than originally anticipated. An analysis of the
returns shows they are a direct result of the soft sell of the VGE experienced
by the U.K. retailers. To some degree we experienced similar results in the U.S.
This is directly attributable to the lack of consumer awareness of the VGE's
features, benefits and actual enhancement performance. We have determined that
this condition at retail was not caused by retail price point, competition, poor
product performance or defective products but solely that six to nine months is
not normally sufficient time to successfully introduce and develop consumer
awareness for a new product in a whole new product category as is engendered by
the VGE. To help ensure our European success and ensure better follow through
support at the local level, in February 2002, we retained Menno Buys, who
resides in Amsterdam and who has a solid and successful business development
background, to take charge of our European operations. We are looking for a
strategic partner or partners in Europe similar to Gemini in North America.
There can be no assurances that we will be successful in these endeavors.

NVP ASIC Technology

We are marketing this technology in the form of ASIC chips ("Application
Specific Integrated Circuits") directly to OEM's who by incorporating this
enabling technology would improve picture quality in their televisions, VCR's,
DVD's, camcorders, set-top boxes and other video output devices. This technology
can also be licensed to the OEM for incorporation onto their own ASIC design.
The completed NVP 104 plastic (silicon) chip is currently being offered for
sale. We have been concentrating our efforts to date on demonstrating and
marketing this technology to the large Asian consumer electronics OEM's in Japan
and China. We have retained David Kwong, a consultant to the Company, for the
sale and licensing of products in China and to maintain a sales office for us in
China. In August and September 2001, we received our first OEM orders for the
NVP 104 ASIC chips from a large Chinese electronics company that is utilizing
the chips in its DVD product line, which is now available in the retail
marketplace. We believe this is a significant step towards our goal of making
our technology a new standard in video equipment and expect other OEM's to
follow during 2002. Based on customer feedback, we are planning to introduce in
June 2002, a step-up ASIC chip, the "NVP 1104" which will be produced at not
only a lower cost for both NUWAVE and the potential OEM but will also allow for
easier design implementation for the OEM. At the same time it will have
additional features.

Digital Filtering Technology

March 2001, this software was upgraded to PicturePrep(TM) Deluxe 2001 with new
file management and uploading capabilities. In October 2001, the digital filters
used in PicturePrep Deluxe were granted patent protection by the U.S. Patent
Office. These filters remove graininess and digital artifacts, while preserving
proper focus better than any other "real time" filters that are on the market
today.

We plan to license the digital filtering technology associated with
PicturePrepTM Deluxe 2001 to OEM's for embedding in products such as PC's,
printers, scanners, camcorders and DVD's, among other digital imaging devices.
These patented filters are expected to be in demand for use in processing
digital video and movies used for streaming video over the Internet. The
PicturePreptm digital technology not only complements our proprietary analog
ASIC chip technology, but can also work in conjunction with it to further
improve the resulting image quality. In April 2002, we signed an agreement with
Sony Corporation, giving it the non-exclusive right to use one of our filters in
its digital color printers, in return for a nominal one-time licensing fee.
While we anticipate that this initial step may lead to a growing relationship
between Sony and NUWAVE, there is no assurance that such a relationship will
develop.

With the initial introduction and sales of our VGE retail product and our
ASIC chips occurring during 2001, our net sales for the year ended December 31,
2001, were $505,000 as compared to $14,000 for the prior year. See the
discussion of Concentrations of Customers on page F-9 of Notes to Financial
Statements. As a result of the exclusive Gemini Agreement, we anticipate a
substantial reduction in our overall marketing and distribution costs of
$638,000 in 2001, as they will be responsible for marketing and selling to
retail outlets in North America. Although we anticipate deriving increased
revenues from the sale of our ASIC chips and retail products and the licensing
of our proprietary digital software during 2002, no assurance can be given that
these products will be successfully marketed during such period.

MANUFACTURING

We do not contemplate that we will directly manufacture any of our
products. We have contracted with third parties to manufacture our NVP 104 ASIC
and our VGE. We also may license to third parties the rights to manufacture the
products, through direct licensing, OEM arrangements or otherwise.

We intend to produce the NVP ASIC chips in accordance with a customer's
requirements, supported by firm commitments, rather than producing and storing
in inventory ASIC chips in anticipation of applications required by customers in
the future.

PATENTS; PROPRIETARY INFORMATION

To the extent practicable, we have filed and intend to file U.S. patents
and/or copyright applications for certain of its proposed products and
technology. We have also filed and intend to file corresponding applications in
key industrial countries worldwide.

In April 1996, we filed two U.S. patent applications on behalf of Rave
Engineering Corporation ("Rave") for our Randall connector system. One patent
was received in November 1997 and the second one in January 1998. Under the
terms of the settlement agreement with Rave, we retain the exclusive license
rights to these patents.

In April 1998, we filed three U.S. patent applications for certain of our
independently developed products: one for the NUWAVE Video Processor and two for
the Softsets. These patents were granted in November 2000, February 2001 and May
2001, respectively. In August 1999, we filed a patent application for our
digital software technology as used in PicturePrep product line. This patent was
granted in October 2001. There is no assurance that any patent will afford us
with commercially significant protection of our technology or that we will have
adequate resources to enforce our patents.

We also sell our technology and products in foreign markets. As such, we
have filed for foreign patent protection in the countries forming the European
Common Union, Japan and Korea. The patent laws of other countries may differ
significantly from those of the United States as to the patentability of our
products and technology. Moreover, the degree of protection afforded by foreign
patents may be different from that in the United States. Patent applications in
the United States are maintained in secrecy until the patents are issued, if a
non-publication request is timely made and the applications are not foreign
filed, and are otherwise published 18 months after filing. Publication of
discoveries in scientific or patent literature tends to lag behind actual
discoveries by several months. As a result, we cannot be certain that we will be
the first creator of inventions covered by any patent applications we make or
the first to file patent applications on such inventions.

We also rely on unpatented proprietary technology. There is no assurance
that others may not independently develop the same or similar technology or
otherwise obtain access to our unpatented technology. To protect our trade
secrets and other proprietary information, we require employees, advisors and
collaborators to enter into confidentiality agreements. We could be adversely
affected in the event that these agreements fail to provide meaningful
protection for our trade secrets, know-how or other proprietary information.

COMPETITION

The markets that we intend to enter are characterized by intense
competition, and, particularly with respect to the market for video editing,
video production and video processing products, significant price erosion over
the life of a product. Our products will directly compete with those of numerous
well-established companies, such as Sony Electronics, Inc., Panasonic Division
of Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Motorola, Inc., Mitsubishi International
Corp. and Royal Philips Electronics, NV, which design, manufacture and/or market
video technology and other products. All of these companies have substantially
greater financial, technical, personnel and other resources than we do and have
established reputations for success in the development, licensing, sale and
service of their products and technology. Certain of these competitors dominate
their industries and have the necessary financial resources to enable them to
withstand substantial price competition or downturns in the market for video
products.

EMPLOYEES

We currently have nine full-time employees, of whom five are executives or
administrative and four are in the Advanced Engineering Group, and depending on
our level of business activity, expect to hire additional employees in the next
12 months, as needed, to support marketing and sales, manufacturing and research
and development. We also retain a varying number of consultants on an as-needed
basis.

PROPERTIES

We have established our headquarters in Fairfield, New Jersey. Pursuant to
the sublease relating to such facility, we are obligated to make monthly rental
payments of $7,260. The sublease is on a month-to-month basis. Our subleased
portion of the facility is approximately 2,500 square feet and the sublease
entitles us to share certain common areas.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

There are no current material legal proceedings involving our company.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

COMMON STOCK

The holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share
held of record on all matters to be voted on by stockholders. There is no
cumulative voting with respect to the election of our directors, with the result
that the holders of more than 50% of the shares voting for the election of
directors can elect all of the directors then up for election. The holders of
common stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends when, as and if
declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available for that
purpose. In the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our company,
the holders of our common stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets
remaining which are available for distribution to them after payment of
liabilities and after provision has been made for each class of stock, if any,
having preference over the common stock. Holders our of common stock have no
conversion, preemptive or other subscription rights, and there are no redemption
provisions applicable to our common stock. All of the outstanding shares of our
common stock are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. There are
currently 40,000,000 shares authorized and 10,557,729 shares issued and
outstanding.

PREFERRED STOCK

Of the 2,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock authorized, 1,000,000 shares
have been designated as Series A Convertible Preferred Shares, none of which are
outstanding. In 1995, we sold 600,000 shares of our Series A Convertible
Preferred Shares, which shares were converted into 600,000 shares of our common
stock in 1996. The Series A Convertible Preferred Shares are convertible into
common stock on a one-to-one basis. The remaining 1,000,000 shares of Preferred
Stock not designated may have such preferences and rights as the Board of
Directors may designate.

IPO WARRANTS

The following discussion is a summary of certain terms and conditions of
the public warrants contained in the warrant agreement by and among our company,
American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent, and Rickel &
Associates, as underwriters to the initial public offering of our company's
securities. The Warrant Agreement was amended as of April 30, 2001. As such, it
is qualified in its entirety by reference to the warrant agreement as amended.

Currently, each IPO warrant entitles its registered holder to purchase
1.378 shares of our common stock at a price of $3.99 per share, subject to
further adjustment in certain circumstances. Unless exercised, the public
warrants will automatically expire on July 3, 2002. The IPO warrants are
separately transferable and are listed on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market under the
symbol "WAVEW."

The IPO warrants are redeemable by us at any time after July 3, 1997, upon
notice of not less than 30 days, at a price of $.10 per IPO warrant, provided
that the closing bid quotation of our common stock on all twenty trading days
ending on the third day prior to the day on which we give notice has been at
least 120% (currently $4.79, subject to certain adjustments) of the then
effective exercise price of the IPO warrants. The holders of the IPO warrants
have the right to exercise their warrants until the close of business on the
date fixed for redemption. The IPO warrants were issued in registered form under
a warrant agreement by and among us, American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as
warrant agent, and Rickel & Associates, as underwriters to the initial public
offering of our company's securities. The exercise price and number of shares of
our common stock or other securities issuable upon exercise of the IPO warrants
are subject to adjustment in certain circumstances, including in the event of a
stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation of our
company. The IPO warrants are subject to adjustment for issuances of our common
stock at prices below the exercise price of the IPO warrants.

The IPO warrants may be exercised upon surrender of the warrant certificate
on or prior to the expiration date at the offices of the warrant agent, with the
exercise form on the reverse side of the warrant certificate completed and
executed as indicated, accompanied by full payment of the exercise price, by
certified check or bank draft payable to our company, to the warrant agent for
the number of public warrants being exercised. The warrant holders do not have
the rights or privileges of holders of our common stock.

No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the IPO warrants.
However, if a warrant holder exercises all IPO warrants then owned of record by
him, we will pay that warrant holder, in lieu of the issuance of any fractional
share which is otherwise issuable, an amount in cash based on the market value
of our common stock on the last trading day prior to the exercise date.

CLASS A REDEEMABLE WARRANTS

The following discussion is a summary of certain terms and provisions of
the Class A Redeemable Warrants contained in the Warrant Agreement, dated May
15, 1998, between the Company and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the
"Warrant Agreement"). As such, it is qualified in its entirety by reference to
the Warrant Agreement.

Each Class A Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Common
Stock at any time until May 11, 2003 at an exercise price of $3.24 (the
"Exercise Price"), subject to adjustment in certain circumstances to prevent
dilution. The Class A Warrants may be exercised in whole or in part, at any time
and from time to time until May 11, 2003 through a cash or cashless exercise.
Unless exercised, the Class A Warrants will automatically expire on May 11,
2003.

Under the Warrant Agreement, the Company agreed to use its best effort to
file a registration statement under the Securities Act, registering the Class A
Warrants and the shares of Common Stock underlying the Class A Warrants, upon
demand, after December 9, 1998, and use its best efforts to have the
registration statement declared effective by the Commission as soon as possible
thereafter (the "Effective Date"). In the event the registration statement is
not declared effective within 60 days after a demand for registration, the then
number of Class A Warrants shall be increased by two percent (2%), effective as
of the end of such 60 day period and by an additional two percent (2%) on each
one month anniversary thereafter, until such time that the number of Class A
Warrants should equal 120% of the original number of Class A Warrants. The
Company agrees to keep the registration statement effective until expiration of
the Class A Warrants.

The Class A Warrants are subject to redemption by the Company at $.01 per
Class A Warrant at any time commencing 12 months after the Effective Date, or
earlier with the prior written consent of Janssen-Meyers, on not less than 30
days prior written notice to the holders of the Class A Warrants, provided the
average closing bid quotation of the Common Stock as reported on the Nasdaq
SmallCap Market, if traded thereon, or, if not traded thereon, the average
closing bid quotation of the Common Stock if listed on a national securities
exchange (or other reporting system that provides last sale prices), has been at
least 250% of the then current Exercise Price of the Class A Warrants, for a
period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the day prior to the date on
which the Company gives notice of redemption. The Class A Warrants will be
exercisable until the close of business on the day immediately preceding the
date fixed for redemption.

The Class A Warrants were originally issued between May 19, 1998 and June
9, 1998 in connection with a private equity placement by the Company in which
Janssen-Meyers acted as the Company's placement agent. See "Management's
Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation--Liquidity and Capital Resources."

CLASS B COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANTS

The following discussion is a summary of certain terms and provisions of
the Class B Common Stock Purchase Warrants contained in the Warrant Agreement,
dated March 10, 2000, between us and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company. As
such, it is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Warrant Agreement.

Each Class B Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of our
common stock at any time until March 14, 2003 at an exercise price of $3.95 (the
"Exercise Price"), subject to adjustment in certain circumstances to prevent
dilution. The Class B Warrants may be exercised in whole or in part, at any time
and from time to time until March 14, 2003 through a cash exercise. Unless
exercised, the Class B Warrants will automatically expire on March 14, 2003.

Under the Warrant Agreement, we agreed to use our best effort to file a
registration statement under the Securities Act, registering the Class B
Warrants and the shares of our common stock underlying the Class B Warrants,
upon demand, after 90 days following the closing of the private placement, and
use our best efforts to have the registration statement declared effective by
the Commission as soon as possible thereafter. In the event the registration
statement is not declared effective within 90 days after a demand for
registration, the then number of Class B Warrants shall be increased by two
percent (2%), effective as of the end of such 90 day period and by an additional
two percent (2%) on each one month anniversary thereafter, until such time that
the number of Common Stock Purchase Warrants should equal 120% of the original
number of Class B Warrants. We agree to keep the registration statement
effective until expiration of the Class B Warrants. This registration statement
is being filed at the demand of the warrantholders.

The Class B Warrants are subject to redemption by us at $.01 per Class B
Warrant at any time commencing 12 months after the effective date of the
registration statement, or earlier with the prior written consent of
Roan-Meyers, on not less than 30 days prior written notice to the holders of the
Common Stock Purchase Warrants, provided the average closing bid quotation of
our common stock as reported on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, if traded thereon,
or, if not traded thereon, the average closing bid quotation of our common stock
if listed on a national securities exchange (or other reporting system that
provides last sale prices), has been at least 250% of the then current exercise
price of the Common Stock Purchase Warrants, for a period of 30 consecutive
trading days ending on the day prior to the date on which we give notice of
redemption. The Common Stock Purchase Warrants will be exercisable until the
close of business on the day immediately preceding the date fixed for
redemption.

The Class B Warrants were originally issued as of March 14, 2000 in
connection with a private equity placement by the Company in which Roan-Meyers
acted as our placement agent. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan
of Operation--Liquidity and Capital Resources."

DIVIDENDS

To date, we have not declared or paid any dividends on our common stock.
The payment by us of dividends, if any, is within the discretion of the Board of
Directors and will depend on our earnings, if any, our capital requirements and
financial condition, as well as other relevant factors. The Board of Directors
does not intend to declare any dividends in the foreseeable future, but instead
intends to retain earnings for use in our business operations.

TRANSFER AGENT AND WARRANT AGENT

The transfer agent for the common stock is, and the warrant agent for the
common stock purchase warrants is, American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, 6201

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

Board of Directors and Stockholders
NUWAVE Technologies, Inc.
Fairfield, New Jersey

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of NUWAVE Technologies, Inc as of
December 31, 2001, and the related statements of operations, stockholders'
equity and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended
December 31, 2001. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. 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 NUWAVE Technologies, Inc. as of
December 31, 2001, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each
of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2001, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the
financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations
that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the
outcome of this uncertainty.

1. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

NUWAVE Technologies, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated in Delaware on
July 17,1995. Prior to 2001, the Company was a development stage enterprise. The
Company's focus to date has been and continues to be on unique technology
related to image and video enhancement designed to enrich picture and video
output with clearer, more defined detail in texture, color, contrast and tone,
at low cost. The Company's initial products can be used by original equipment
manufacturers (OEM's) for placement into products that produce images on display
screens such as televisions or DVD players, for supplementing and increasing
video quality on existing television monitors and video displays via set-top
boxes containing our technology, and by individuals over the Internet for
improving their personal photographs.

The Company has developed proprietary video-enhancement technology
designed to significantly enhance video output devices with clearer, sharper
details and more vibrant colors when viewed on the display screen. This is known
as the NUWAVE Video Processor (NVP) technology. In addition the Company has
developed patented high speed filtering technology that removes approximately
70% of the picture noise while retaining correct focus (the image and text in
the image does not blur). NUWAVE has recently completed development of three
product lines based upon its core proprietary technology. These are: 1) the
NUWAVE Video Processor (NVP) Technology, 2) Retail Products and 3) Digital
Filtering Technology. Each product line is currently being marketed to their
respective distribution channels. There is no assurance the Company will achieve
significant sales of any of its products or technology. In addition, the Company
operates in an environment of rapid change in technology and is dependent upon
the services of its employees and its consultants. If the Company is unable to
successfully market its NVP and digital filtering technology and related
products it is unlikely that the Company could continue its business.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America,
which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern and
realization of assets and settlement of liabilities and commitments in the
normal course of business. The Company has incurred substantial losses since its
inception and anticipates continued losses from operations. The Company will
continue to require infusion of capital (see below) until operations become
profitable. In the event, the Company is unable to complete a registration and
sale of its Common Stock pursuant to the agreement discussed below, there would
be substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going
concern. These financial statements include no adjustments to assets and
liabilities reflecting this potential uncertainty.

In addition to the capital transactions discussed in Note 9, on April
15, 2002 the Company entered into a $3 million Equity Line of Credit with a
qualified investor (the "Purchaser"). Provided it is in compliance with the
terms of the agreement including the effective registration of shares to be
sold, the Company may, at its option, require the investor to purchase up to
$300,000 per month of the Company's Common Stock (the "put shares") up to a
maximum of $3 million over the next two years. The purchase price of the put
shares will be 97% of the then Market Price (as defined in the Equity Line of
Credit). In addition the Company has issued as a fee to the Purchaser of
approximately 242,000 shares of restricted common stock with a fair market value
of $150,000. Upon the initial Put and all subsequent Puts, the Purchaser shall
receive directly from escrow cash compensation equal to 4% of the gross proceeds
of the Put.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amount of assets
and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date
of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses
during the reporting period. The most significant estimates relate to the
valuation allowance in connection with deferred tax assets. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.

F-8

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash and cash equivalents include all cash balances, money market
instruments, and other highly liquid investments with insignificant interest
rate risk and original maturities of three months or less. At December 31, 2001,
$1,011,000 of money market accounts and commercial checking accounts, the fair
value of which approximate cost, are included in cash and cash equivalents.

INVENTORY

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method)
or market.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated
depreciation. The cost of maintenance and repairs is charged against results of
operations as incurred.

Depreciation is charged against results of operations by an accelerated
method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets.

Sales and retirements of depreciable property are recorded by removing
the related cost and accumulated depreciation from the accounts. Gains or losses
on sales and retirements of property and equipment are reflected in the results
of operations.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Revenue is recognized when products are shipped to customers.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES

Expenditures for research and development are generally expensed as
incurred with the exception of website development costs of $179,000 and
software development costs of $152,000 which were capitalized in 2000. During
the year December 31, 2001, the Company determined that it would not recover its
investment in website and software development costs. Accordingly, the Company
wrote off the unamortized costs aggregating $156,000. Additionally, during the
years ended December 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000 amortization of the costs
aggregated $140,000 and $35,000, respectively.

ADVERTISING EXPENSES

The Company expenses advertising costs which consist primarily of
promotional items, print and digital media. Advertising and promotional expenses
charged to operations for the years ended December 31, 2001 and December 31,
2000 amounted to $583,000 and $265,000, respectively.

CONCENTRATIONS

The Company's financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations
of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents. The Company places its cash
and cash equivalents in high quality institutions with three types of accounts,
1) an operating account where the cash balance is in excess of the FDIC
insurance limit, 2) a money market fund which invests only in U.S. Government
securities and 3) certificates of deposit.

For the year ended December 31, 2001 three customers accounted for
sales of approximately $218,000 (43%), $86,000 (17%) and $61,000 (12%). The
customer representing 43% of sales was located in China and the customer
representing 17% of sales was located in the United Kingdom.

For the year ended December 31, 2001, export sales, which were
primarily from the UK and China, amounted to approximately $334,000.

PER SHARE DATA

The basic per share data has been computed on the basis of the loss for
the period divided by the historic weighted average number of shares of common
stock outstanding. All potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from
the computations since they would be antidilutive. Potentially dilutive
securities aggregate 10,648,320 and 11,157,242 shares as of December 31, 2001
and 2000, respectively.

INCOME TAXES

The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets for the
expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the
financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities
and assets are determined on the basis of the differences between the tax basis
of assets and liabilities and their respective financial reporting amounts
("temporary differences") at enacted tax rates in effect for the years in which
the differences are expected to reverse.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 141, "Business
Combinations." SFAS No. 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be
used for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. This statement
specifies that certain acquired intangible assets in a business combination be
recognized as assets separately from goodwill and that existing intangible
assets and goodwill be evaluated for these new separation requirements.
Management does not expect this statement to have a material impact on the
Company's financial position or results of operations.

In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets." SFAS No. 142 changes the accounting for goodwill from an
amortization method to an impairment-only approach. Amortization of goodwill,
including goodwill recorded in past business combinations, will cease upon
adoption of this statement. In addition, this statement requires that goodwill
be tested for impairment at least annually at the reporting unit level.
Management does not expect this statement to have a material impact on the
Company's financial position or results of operations.

In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset
Retirement Obligations." This statement addresses financial accounting and
reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived
assets and the associated asset retirement costs. The Company is required to
implement SFAS No. 143 on January 1, 2003. Management does not expect this
statement to have a material impact on the Company's financial position or
results of operations.

In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." This statement supercedes SFAS No.
121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
Assets to Be Disposed Of." The statement retains the previously existing
accounting requirements related to the recognition and measurement of the
impairment of long-lived assets to be held and used while expanding the
measurement requirements of long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale to
include discontinued operations. It also expands the previously existing
reporting requirements for discontinued operations to include a component of an
entity that either has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale. The
Company implemented SFAS No. 144 on January 1, 2002. Management does not expect
this statement to have a material impact on the Company's financial position or
results of operations.

5. CAPITAL TRANSACTIONS

COMMON STOCK AND WARRANTS

On February 14, 2000 in a private equity transaction, the Company
issued 2,088,608 shares of the Company's Common Stock and 1,044,304 Redeemable
Common Stock Purchase Warrants ("Common Stock Purchase Warrants") for an
aggregate purchase price of $6,600,000. Each Common Stock Purchase Warrant
entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercise
price per share of $3.95, commencing from March 14, 2000 and expiring on March
14, 2003. The Common Stock Purchase Warrants are subject to redemption by the
Company at $.01 per Warrant on not less than 30 days prior written notice to the
holders of the Warrants, provided the average closing bid price of the Common
Stock has been at least 250% of the then current exercise price of the Warrants
for a period of thirty consecutive trading days ending within five days prior to
the date on which the Company gives notice of redemption. The placement agent
received a commission of 10% ($660,000) of the gross proceeds from the sale of
the Units, as well as a 3% non-accountable expense allowance ($198,000) and
reimbursement of other costs, including legal expenses relating to the offering
($54,399). In addition, it received as part of its compensation, warrants
exercisable until March 14, 2003 to purchase up to 522,152 shares of the
Company's Common Stock at a price per share of $3.95.

In connection with its IPO, the Company issued 2,530,000 Redeemable
Common Stock Purchase Warrants (the "IPO Warrants") to purchase an additional
2,530,000 common shares. Initially, the IPO Warrants had an exercise price of
$5.50 per share and an expiration date of July 3, 2001. Also in connection with
the IPO the Company issued to the underwriter warrants to purchase (i) 220,000
shares of Common Stock and (ii) 220,000 Redeemable Warrants to purchase Common
Stock (the "IPO Underwriters Warrants"). The IPO Underwriters Warrants were
exercisable at $8.25 with an expiration date of July 3, 2001. In May 2001, the
Board of Directors extended the expiration date for the IPO Warrants and the IPO
Underwriters Warrants for an additional year to July 3, 2002.

As a result of subsequent dilutive transactions and in accordance with
the provisions of the Warrant Agreement adjustments have been made to the
exercise price of the IPO Warrants and to the number of shares issuable on
exercise of the Public Warrants. The exercise price has been reduced from $5.50
to $3.99. In addition, for every share of Common Stock the warrant holders were
entitled to prior to these dilutive transactions (2,530,000 shares), the warrant

F-11

holders are now entitled to 1.378 shares (3,486,340 shares). Also, pursuant to
the Warrant Agreement, the Company can redeem the IPO warrants in the event that
the average closing price of the Company's Common Stock is at least 150% of the
then current exercise price of the IPO Warrants for a period of 20 consecutive
trading days.

In 1998 in connection with a consultant agreement, the Company issued
warrants to purchase 400,000 shares of common stock to the consultant. The
warrants have an exercise price of $4 per share and expire on March 3, 2003.
Also in 1998, in conjunction with a private equity placement the Company issued
2,057,207 Class A Redeemable Warrants (Class A Warrants) to purchase 2,057,207
shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $3.24 per share. The Class A
Warrants expire on May 11, 2003.

In conjunction with the two private equity placements, the placement
agent received as part of its compensation 1,987,391 warrants to purchase common
shares (the "Placement Agent Warrants"). 1,465,239 Placement Agent Warrants were
exercisable at $3.24 with an expiration date of May 11, 2003. 522,152 Placement
Agent Warrants were exercisable at $3.95 with an expiration date of March 14,
2003.

On August 16, 2001, the Company offered to the holders of its placement
agent warrants the opportunity to exercise such warrants at a reduced exercise
price of $1 per share of common stock. During the period, beginning August 28,
2001 and ending November 12, 2001, the Company received a total of $844,922 and
issued a total of 844,922 of its common shares to the holders of its placement
agent warrants, who chose to take advantage of this offer. On January 15, 2002
this reduced price offer expired and the original exercise price per share was
reinstated.

STOCK OPTIONS

The Company accounts for stock options in accordance with Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees ("APB
No. 25"). Under APB No. 25, generally, no compensation expense is recognized in
the financial statements in connection with the awarding of stock option grants
to employees provided that, as of the grant date, all terms associated with the
award are fixed and the quoted market price of the Company's stock, as of the
grant date, is not more than the amount an employee must pay to acquire the
stock as defined; however, to the extent that stock options are granted to non
employees, for goods or services, the fair value of these options is included in
operating results as an expense.

A summary of the Company's stock option activity under its plans (which
are discussed below), and related information, is as follows:

WEIGHTED

COMMON EXERCISE PRICE EXERCISE SHARES

Exercise prices and weighted-average contractual lives for stock
options outstanding as of December 31, 2001 are as follows:

The following table summarizes the pro forma operating results of the
Company had compensation costs for the stock options granted been determined in
accordance with the fair- value-based method of accounting for stock based
compensation as prescribed by SFAS No. 123. Since certain option grants awarded
during 2001 and 2000 vest over several years and additional awards are expected
to be issued in the future, the pro forma results noted below are not likely to
be representative of the effects on future years of the application of the
fair-value-based method.

----------------- -----------------

Pro forma net loss...................................... $ (4,405,000) $ (4,646,000)
Pro forma basic and diluted loss per share.............. $ (.41) $ (.55)

For the purpose of the above pro forma information, the fair value of
these options was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option
pricing model. The weighted-average fair value of the options granted during
2001 and 2000 was $.78 and $1.18, respectively. The following weighted-average
assumptions were used in computing the fair value of option grants for 2001 and
2000: weighted-average risk-free interest rates ranged from 5.09% to 5.39% for
2001 and 5.24% to 6.66% for 2000; zero dividend yields for both years;
volatility of the Company's Common Stock of 110% for 2001 and 134% for 2000; and
an expected life of the options of ten years for both years.

In 1999 the Company contracted with an investor relations firm to
provide various Investor Relations and Public Relations services for the
Company. As part of their compensation the Company granted it 300,000 options
for the purchase of the Company's Common Stock at $2.00 per share (market price
on date of grant). The estimated fair value of the options at date of issue was
$342,286 and was amortized over twelve months. For the year ended December 31,
2000 the Company recognized expense of $307,604, relating to this agreement. As
a result of performance incentive stock options granted and earned during 2001,
the Company incurred a charge to operations of $216,000.

On May 4, 2000, the Company extended the expiration dates on certain
options granted to executive officers. At the time of the granting of the
extensions the market value of the Company's common stock exceeded the exercise
price of the options. Accordingly, the Company recognized an expense of $45,134
during 2000.

At December 31, 2001, there were 10,703,177 shares of the Company's
Common Stock reserved for the exercise of warrants and options under the plans.

1996 Stock Incentive Plan for Employees and Consultants

On January 31, 1996, the Company adopted its 1996 Stock Incentive Plan
for Employees and Consultants (the "Plan"). Under the Plan, incentive and
nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights and restricted stock may
be granted to key employees and consultants (the "Participants") by certain
disinterested directors of the Board of Directors. Any incentive option granted
under the Plan will have an exercise price of not less than 100% of the fair
market value of the shares on the date on which such option is granted. With
respect to an incentive option granted to a Participant who owns more than 10%
of the total combined voting stock of the Company or of any parent or subsidiary
of the Company, the exercise price for such option must be at least 110% of the
fair market value of the shares subject to the option on the date on which the
option is granted. A nonqualified option granted under the Plan (i.e., an option
to

F-13

purchase the common stock that does not meet the Internal Revenue Code's
requirements for incentive options) must have an exercise price of at least the
par value of the stock. Stock appreciation rights may be granted in conjunction
with the grant of an incentive or nonqualified option under the Plan or
independently of any such stock option. The directors determine the vesting of
the options under the Plan at the date of grant. A maximum of 1,205,000 options
can be awarded under the Plan (as amended May 26, 1998).

Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan

On November 25, 1996, the Company established a Non-Employee Director
Stock Option Plan (the "Director's Plan"). The Director's Plan provides that
each member of the Board of Directors (an "Eligible Director") who otherwise (1)
is not currently an employee of the Company, or (2) is not a former employee
still receiving compensation for prior services (other than benefits under a
tax-qualified pension plan) shall be eligible for the grant of stock options
under the Director's Plan. Each Eligible Director at the time of his election to
the Board of Directors, shall be granted an option to purchase 3,000 shares of
the Company's common stock at an exercise price equal to closing price of such
common stock at close of business at the date of such grant, such option to vest
immediately and to expire five years from the date of such grant.

Beginning with the annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company
held on May 29, 1997 and provided that a sufficient number of shares remain
available under the Director's Plan, each year immediately following the date of
the annual meeting of the Company there automatically will be granted to each
Eligible Director who is then serving on the Board an option to purchase 5,000
shares of the Company's Common Stock. The first 1,000 options vest immediately,
the remainder vest equally over the next four years from the date of grant and
are exercisable at the closing price of such shares of common stock at the date
of grant. Such options expire five years from the date of vesting.

The maximum number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which
options may be granted under the Director's Plan (as amended May 26, 1998) is
235,000 shares.

6. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN

The Company maintains a noncontributory Employee Savings Plan, in
accordance with the provisions of Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code.
Pursuant to the terms of the plan, participants can defer a portion of their
income through contributions to the Plan. During the year ended December 31,
2001, the Company contributed $38,000.

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

ITEM 24. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

Article Seventh of the registrant's Certificate of Incorporation
provides that "[t]he Corporation shall, to the fullest extent permitted by the
provisions of ss. 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware,
as the same may be amended and supplemented, indemnify any and all persons whom
it shall have the power to indemnify under said section from and against any and
all of the expenses, liabilities, or other matters referred to in or covered by
said section, and the indemnification provided for herein shall not be deemed
exclusive of any other rights to which those indemnified may be entitled under
any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or
otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in
another capacity while holding such office, and shall continue as to a person
who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee, or agent and shall inure to
the benefit of the heirs, executors, and administrators of such a person."

Section 145 of the DGCL permits a corporation, among other things, to
indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party
to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether
civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in
the right of the corporation), by reason of the fact that he is or was a
director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at
the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise,
against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid
in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such action,
suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and,
with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to
believe his conduct was unlawful.

A corporation also may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is
threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or
suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by
reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of
the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys' fees)
actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or
settlement of such action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation. However, in such an action by or on behalf of a corporation, no
indemnification may be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which
the person is adjudged liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent
that the court determines that, despite the adjudication of liability but in
view of all the circumstances, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnity for such expenses which the court shall deem proper.

In addition, the indemnification and advancement of expenses provided
by or granted pursuant to Section 145 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other
rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be
entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested
directors or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to
action in another capacity while holding such office.

ITEM 28. UNDERTAKINGS

(a) The undersigned Company hereby undertakes:

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration
Statement:

(i) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3)
of the Securities Act;

(ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
arising after the effective date of the Registration
Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment
thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate,
represent a fundamental change in the information set
forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of
securities offered (if the total dollar value of
securities offered would not exceed that which was
registered) and any deviation from the low or high end
of the estimated maximum offering range may be
reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the
Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the
aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no
more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate
offering price set forth in the "Calculation of
Registration Fee" table in the effective Registration
Statement; and

(iii) to include any additional or changed material
information on the plan of distribution.

(2) For determining liability under the Securities Act, treat each
such post-effective amendment as a new registration statement
of the securities offered, and the offering of the securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide
offering.

II-6

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain
unsold at the termination of the offering.

(b) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of
the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
Company has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission, such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the Company in the successful defense of any
action, suit or proceeding) is asserted against the Company by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the
securities being registered, the Company will, unless in the opinion of
its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.
