PART I

Forward-Looking and Cautionary Statements.

    With the exception of historical information, the matters discussed in this Annual Report on Form 10-K include certain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. In connection with the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, the Company is hereby identifying information that is forward-looking and, accordingly, involves risks and uncertainties, including, without limitation, statements regarding the Company's future financial performance, that governmental regulations will not negatively and materially impact the Company's current operations, the Company's ability to compete in the competitive environment in which the Company operates, and the results or success of discussions with other entities on mergers, acquisitions, or alliance possibilities and expansion of the Company's current product offerings. As a result, actual results may differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statement. The Company cautions that the foregoing list of important factors is not exclusive. The Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking statement in this Report.


Item 1.  Business.

General

    PerfectData Corporation (the "Company") was incorporated in the State of California on June 8, 1976. The Company was originally founded by an experienced group of engineers and data processing professionals to design and manufacture a proprietary line of magnetic media maintenance equipment—disk pack cleaners and inspectors. This line of equipment, which has since been discontinued, was originally sold to Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) such as Burroughs Corporation (now Unisys Corporation), DEC (Digital Equipment Corporation), NCR Corporation and 3M Corporation. Sales of these products by such well-known companies contributed to increased user awareness as to the need for routine computer care and maintenance. It also brought credibility to the Company as a key manufacturer in the industry.

    With the evolution of the computer work environment from the sterile, climate-controlled surroundings of a clean room to the mainstream office and home environments, simple preventative maintenance has become a key element in maintaining equipment efficiency and personal productivity. The Company's line of CareWare Cleaning and Maintenance supplies are designed to address the needs of the end users of computers and office automation equipment and by maintenance organizations as part of preventative maintenance programs to reduce equipment "down time" and service costs and to increase product life.

Change in Control

    On March 31, 2000 (the "Closing Date"), Millennium Capital Corporation ("Millennium"), JDK & Associates Inc. ("JDK") and other buyers (Millennium, JDK and these other buyers are collectively referred to herein as the "Buyers") purchased from the Company, pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of January 20, 2000 (the "Stock Purchase Agreement") by and among the Company, Millennium, JDK and persons or entities which became Buyers pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement subsequent to its execution, an aggregate of 1,333,333 shares of the Company's Common Stock, no par value (the "Common Stock"), at $2.25 per share or an aggregate purchase price of $2,999,999.25. A copy of the Stock Purchase Agreement is filed (by incorporation by reference) as an exhibit to this Report and is incorporated herein by this reference.

    On the Closing Date, as a result of the foregoing closing, Millennium and JDK became financial advisors to the Company to seek acquisitions and financings on its behalf pursuant to a Consulting Agreement dated as of January 20, 2000 (the "Consulting Agreement") by and among Millennium, JDK and the Company. For their services, Millennium and JDK are to receive a cash fee equal to five

2


percent of the Consideration (as defined) received or paid by the Company with respect to the acquisition or the financing offering. A copy of the Consulting Agreement is filed (by incorporation by reference) as an exhibit to this Report and is incorporated herein by this reference. See also Note (7) to Financial Statements in this Report.

    At a directors' meeting on the Closing Date, as contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement, Joseph Mazin, the Chairman, the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and Ronald M. Chodorow resigned as directors of the Company, the number of directors was increased from three to five and Brian Maizlish, Timothy D. Morgan, Corey P. Schlossmann and Harris A. Shapiro were elected as directors to fill the vacancies. Tracie Savage continued as a director.

    The Company, as previously reported, has been seeking, since the change in control, acquisitions which may or may not be related to its current business. There can, of course, be no assurance that any such acquisition will be effected.

    The shareholders approved the Stock Purchase Agreement and the related transactions at a Special Meeting of Shareholders held on March 31, 2000.

The Industry

    The computer accessories and supplies market has grown with the addition of accessory products in channels other than those serviced by traditional office product catalogs, which have catered mostly to medium and large sized businesses.

    Currently the largest growth area in these other channels is the retail SOHO (Small Office Home Office) segment of the market. This market is serviced mainly by office superstores, mass merchants, consumer electronics retailers, warehouse clubs and computer superstores. The Company is organized to service all of these distribution channels. The Company believes that the market potential for its products will continue to grow and increase in size. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will realize any of this potential.

Products

    The Company designs and assembles all of its cleaning and maintenance products which it markets and distributes. The Company sub-contracts for its components from a variety of established suppliers and manufacturers. The Company believes that these are alternative sources for these components should an existing supplier or manufacturer no longer be available on acceptable terms.

    The consumable cleaning and preventative maintenance products are for home, office and computer environments. These products are designed to eliminate or minimize contamination in and around computer and office automation equipment. Use of the Company's products on a regular basis reduces equipment downtime and the need for unnecessary service and repairs.

    The Company's principal selling product is the PerfectDuster EcoDuster line of compressed gas dusters. This product is offered in a variety of formulations to meet competitive pressures and buyer demand. All of these dusters are 100% CFC free and contain no ozone depleting chemicals that could damage the ozone layer in the earth's upper atmosphere.

    Other products that the Company presently sells are computer disk drive cleaners, CD and tape drive cleaners, CD player cleaners, static control products, laser and inkjet printer cleaners, fax and copy machine cleaners, and a variety of premoistened cleaning wipes for specific equipment.

    In October 2000, the Company entered into an interim license agreement to market 50,000 units of the Silkyboard keyboard and screen protector accessory for use with the Palm computing platform and other PDAs. The Silkyboard product is a faster, easier way to write lengthy notes, e-mail messages and enter data on a PDA because the user only has to tap on the Silkyboard keyboard to perform

3


these functions. The Company had an option either to acquire a permanent worldwide license with respect to the Silkyboard product or to acquire all rights thereto, which option expired unexercised on December 22, 2000. The Company's interim license expired on February 1, 2001, and the Company has until October 27, 2001 to sell its remaining inventory of Silkyboard products. Having already written down this inventory, the Company does not anticipate any material contribution to the Company's results of operation as a result of any future sales of the Silkyboard keyboard and screen protector accessory. During the quarter ended March 31, 2001, the Company introduced a CD Label Design Kit to allow a user to design, print and apply labels to his or her CDs. However, this new product has not had to date significant sales and, accordingly, the Company may discontinue marketing if sales do not grow.

    As previously reported, on August 29, 2000, the Company engaged the services of Terry J. Baker as its Vice President, Sales and Marketing, with the assigned task of expanding the market penetration of its line of computer, office care and maintenance products and accessories. Mr. Baker's consulting arrangement will terminate on June 30, 2001.

Marketing

    Customers. Since May of 1982, the Company has been selling its products primarily through retail distribution under the Company's "PerfectData" trademark. The retail distribution channel is comprised of office product catalogs, office product distributors and dealers, stationery and computer retail stores and large warehouse/superstore type accounts.

    Prior to May 1982, the Company sold substantially all of its products to companies commonly referred to as "Original Equipment Manufacturers" (OEMs) for resale under their own product packaging and through their own channels of distribution. Only 1% of the Company's sales in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2001 ("fiscal 2001") were to OEM customers.

    Foreign distribution of the Company's products are through international distributors and customers. Sales are almost exclusively of PerfectData® branded products. To support this channel of distribution, "PerfectData" product packaging and instructions are multi-lingual with most products available with a minimum of two languages. For fiscal 2001 and the fiscal years ended March 31, 2000 ("fiscal 2000") and 1999 ("fiscal 1999"), approximately 3%, 3% and 9%, respectively, of the Company's net sales were to international accounts.

    While the Company sold products to more than 200 customers in the United States, Canada and other countries during fiscal 2001, approximately 77% of the Company's net sales were accounted for by its 10 largest customers. Fry's Electronics, Inc. and MMG Technology Group, Inc. accounted for 27% and 24%, respectively, of total sales. Sales to these customers were made pursuant to specific purchase orders and neither customer is obligated under any other agreement. The loss of either or both of these customers could have an adverse effect on the Company's business. No other customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company's net sales in fiscal 2001.

Sales Organization.

    Domestic Sales.  Sales of products under the Company's registered trademark "PerfectData" are made by independent manufacturers' representative groups, dealers and large distributors. Sales of the Company's products to Original Equipment Manufacturers under private label arrangements are handled by Company sales personnel located in California and, on a selected basis, by certain assigned independent manufacturers' representatives. Agreements between the Company and manufacturers' representatives or distributors may be terminated on short notice by either party.

4


    International Sales.  Sales of the Company's products worldwide are handled by Company sales personnel located in California through international distributors and customers. The Company has no agreements with foreign distributors.

    Customer Service and Support.  In order to enhance customer service, training, field support and technical support, the Company has a toll free 800 phone number.

    All products are sold with a "return to manufacturer" warranty for replacement of damaged or defective goods only. Products are warranted for 90 days from the date of purchase. Dealers and distributors are required to perform this replacement service on behalf of the Company. All products returned for warranty replacement must receive a written return authorization receipt from the Company prior to the return of any goods. Costs incurred annually by the Company for product warranties have been insignificant.

Backlog

    At March 31, 2001, the Company had orders, scheduled for delivery within a 90-day period or less, aggregating approximately $5,000 as compared with a backlog of approximately $40,000 at March 31, 2000. Purchase order release lead-times depend upon the scheduling practice of the individual customer, and the rate of booking new orders fluctuates from month-to-month; however, most orders are placed for immediate shipment. Under certain conditions, customers may cancel or delay orders without significant monetary penalties. Therefore, the level of backlog at any one time is not necessarily indicative of the trends in the Company's business.

Competition

    The Company believes that, during fiscal year 2001, neither the Company nor any of its competitors had a dominant position in the cleaning and maintenance market. There are many competitors in this market and some of these competitors are substantially larger in size and have greater financial resources than the Company.

    The Company believes that the effectiveness, quality, service and the price competitiveness of its products, along with its marketing efforts and programs, product selection and responsiveness to accounts' needs, have been the principal basis on which it competes in this market.

    The Company's ability to maintain or increase its market share and expand its business will depend, in large measure, on its ability to conceive, design, develop and introduce new products to its existing product lines; to continue to offer more products and marketing programs within the Company's established channels of distribution; and to enter new markets and/or open new channels of distribution with related product offerings. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will achieve any or all of these objectives.

Materials and Supplies

    The nature of the raw materials used in the Company's products are various chemicals, metals, plastics and paper goods. The Company assembles and/or packages its products in the United States from materials and supplies purchased primarily from domestic vendors and sub-contractors. Some of the assembled component parts are manufactured by vendors located in the Far East because it is more cost effective to obtain goods and fabrication expertise at significantly reduced costs when compared with purchasing the same goods domestically.

    The Company believes that its established relationships with its vendors and suppliers are in good order and that it has not experienced any significant production delays or loss of revenue due to the lack of parts or material shortages.

5


    The Company, as a matter of standard business procedures, regularly reviews its vendor relationships and continually searches for new sources and ways to produce its products both domestically and internationally with the improvement of quality, delivery or lowered cost of goods as its goals.

Employees

    At March 31, 2001, the Company employed 13 persons, of whom 5 were engaged in assembly and testing, 3 in marketing and sales, and 5 in general management and administration.

    The Company believes that its relations with its employees are good. The Company has never had a work stoppage and none of its employees are represented by a labor union. The expansion of the Company's current operations will be dependent, in part, on its ability to attract and retain highly qualified employees. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in these efforts.


Item 2.  Properties.

    The Company is subject to a long-term lease for a building constructed in Simi Valley for the specific needs of the Company. The modern industrial building, comprising approximately 24,500 square feet, was completed during June 1993. The lease is for a term of ten years and includes an option to purchase. During May 1999, the Company sublet approximately 6,700 square feet of its facility to another company for use as warehousing, pursuant to a 24-month sublease.


Item 3.  Legal Proceedings.

    As of March 31, 2001, there was no material pending legal proceedings to which the Company is a party or of which any of its property is the subject.


Item 4.  Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

    None.

Dividends

    On January 27, 2000, the Company distributed to its shareholders a dividend, with an aggregate value of $97,000, in the form of one share of stock in Flamemaster Corporation, traded under the symbol FAME, for each 200 shares of the Company's Common Stock. Because of its losses from operations, the Company has not paid any cash dividends on the Common Stock and, until profitability is restored, as to which and when there can be no assurance, the Company does not intend to pay any cash dividends.

Item 7.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Results of Operations

    Net sales in fiscal 2001 increased $275,000, or 15%, to $2,163,000 from net sales of $1,888,000 in fiscal 2000. Net sales in fiscal 2000 increased $199,000, or 12%, to $1,888,000 from net sales of $1,689,000 in fiscal 1999.

    The increased sales in fiscal 2001 and fiscal 2000, as discussed above, were the result of the Company's efforts to increase business with its existing customers as well as to pursue new business. This has been the focus of the Company since it lost its major customer during fiscal year ended March 31, 1998. Despite this improvement, as indicated below, the Board does not believe that net sales from the Company's existing product line will increase sufficiently for the Company to operate at a profit.

    During fiscal 2001, the Company undertook its first major marketing campaign in years aimed at its existing products. Approximately 44% of the increase in fiscal 2001 sales related to sales of existing products and 55% of the increase in sales related to sales of a new product, the Silkyboard™ keyboard and screen protector accessory product. These sales were made pursuant to the interim license agreement the Company entered into in October 2000. See the fifth succeeding paragraph.

    Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales was 82% for fiscal 2001, as compared to 75% and 61% for fiscal 2000 and fiscal 1999, respectively. The increase in fiscal 2001 directly related to write-downs of certain inventories, aggregating $196,000, which were made for products the Company was either deeply discounting or discontinuing. This increase in inventory reserves primarily related to the Company's inventory of Silkyboard products which the Company has a license to sell until October 2001. Also included in the fiscal 2001 cost of goods sold were Silkyboard royalty costs aggregating $46,000. The increase in fiscal 2000 primarily related to an increase in the material cost of the gases used in the Company's principal product line of compressed gas dusters.

    Selling, General and Administrative Expenses ("Expenses") for fiscal 2001, 2000 and 1999 were $1,815,000, $1,084,000 and $1,180,000, respectively.

    The increase in expenses of $731,000 in fiscal 2001 directly related to costs associated with the Company's acquisition and merger office (an increase of $282,000), legal fees (an increase of $167,000), accounting fees (an increase of $27,000) and expenses associated with the Company's sales and marketing efforts (an increase of $253,000). In 2000, the Company opened the acquisition and merger office and engaged new corporate counsel and new independent auditors. Management currently anticipates that only certain of these Expenses may continue on an on-going basis. During April and May 2001, the Company, in an effort to reduce expenses, had a reduction in personnel and closed the acquisition and merger office. In addition, the Chief Executive Officer reduced his salary. Without giving effect to the legal costs to effect a potential acquisition, the Company also anticipates that its legal fees will be substantially less in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2002 ("fiscal 2002") consistent with the recent billing history.

    The decrease in Expenses in fiscal 2000 was a result of the Company's continuing efforts to tightly control expenditures and to implement additional cost-cutting measures. These included, among others, finding a sub-tenant to occupy a portion of the Company's facility, thereby reducing overhead costs, as well as a reduction in officers' salaries, thereby reducing payroll expense and related taxes.

    In October 2000, the Company entered into an interim license agreement to market 50,000 units of the Silkyboard keyboard and screen protector accessory for use with the Palm computing platform and other PDAs. The Silkyboard product is a faster, easier way to write lengthy notes, e-mail messages and enter data on a PDA because the user only has to tap on the Silkyboard keyboard to perform these functions. The Company had an option either to acquire a permanent worldwide license with respect to the Silkyboard product or to acquire all rights thereto, which option expired unexercised on December 22, 2000. The Company's interim license expired on February 1, 2001, and the Company has

8


until October 27, 2001 to sell its remaining inventory of Silkyboard products. Net sales of Silkyboards were $154,000 in fiscal 2001. The Company had $9,000 in Silkyboard inventory, net of reserves, at March 31, 2001.

    The Board continues to seek potential acquisitions, including those in businesses not related to the Company's current operations, as the Company's long-term "turn around" strategy. Although the Company has performed significant due diligence with respect to certain potential acquisitions proposed to management, as of this date, there has been no potential acquisition which, after such investigation has been deemed attractive enough for the Board to approve. The directors believe that the volatility of the stock market in 2000 and 2001, particularly the decline in the earlier year with respect to internet companies, in which area the Company had devoted its initial exploratory efforts, has adversely affected the Company's search. The Board has, accordingly, concluded that it may take longer to close a suitable acquisition than initially contemplated, but remains confident that this objective can be achieved over time. There can, of course, be no assurance as to when and if a suitable acquisition will be consummated.

    Other Income for fiscal 2001 was primarily dividend income of $216,000 on investments net of loss on impairment of assets from securities of $37,000. Other Income for fiscal 2000 and 1999 was primarily realized gains and losses from the sale of securities of $207,000 and $38,000 and $2,000 and $8,000 respectively, and dividend and option income of $50,000 and $79,000 respectively.

    The increased net loss in fiscal 2001 over that in fiscal 2000 was primarily due to the increases in Cost of Goods Sold and Expenses as described above.

    The decreased net loss in fiscal 2000 from that in fiscal 1999 was primarily due to the increase in net sales described above. However, as indicated above, the Board believes that profitability will not be obtained absent the acquisition of a new business or businesses and/or new products. The Company is currently pursuing both alternatives. However, there can be no assurance as to when such pursuits will be successful or as to when profitability will be achieved, if at all.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

    The decrease in cash during fiscal 2001 resulted primarily from $962,000 used in operating activities. The cash used in operating activities was primarily the result of the net loss of $1,259,000, as well as increases in accounts receivables and inventories partially offset by the increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses.

    The Company had a current ratio of better than 7 to 1 at fiscal year end and no long-term debt.

    As a result of the continuing negative cash flows from operations, the Company is dependent on the invested proceeds from its March 2000 private placement in order to meet its payable requirements. Long term, as indicated above, the Company must seek a new line of business, whether through acquisition or otherwise.

    The Company believes that liquidity and working capital are adequate to fund the Company's operations and its requirements for fiscal 2002.

    At March 31, 2001, the Company had net operating loss and general business tax credit carry forwards for income tax purposes of approximately $5,150,000 and $30,000 respectively, available to reduce future potential Federal income taxes.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

    SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. SFAS No. 133 addresses the accounting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and hedging activities. The Statement standardizes the accounting for derivative instruments by requiring that an

9


entity recognize those items as assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure them at fair value. The application of SFAS No. 133 will not have an affect on the Company's financial reporting.

    In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements. SAB 101 provides guidance on recognition, presentation, and disclosure of revenues in financial statements of all public registrants. Any change in the Company's revenue recognition policy resulting from implementation of SAB 101 would be reported as a change in accounting principle. In June 2000, the SEC issued SAB 101B, which delays the implementation date of SAB 101 until the fourth quarter of fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1999. Application of SAB No. 101 will not have an affect on the Company's financial reporting.

    In March 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Interpretation No. 44, "Accounting for Certain Transactions involving Stock Compensation" (FIN 44). FIN 44 provides guidance for issues arising in applying APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees". FIN 44 applies specifically to new awards, exchanges of awards in a business combination, modification to outstanding awards, and changes in grantee status that occur on or after July 1, 2000, except for the provisions related to repricings and the definition of an employee which apply to awards issued after December 15, 1998. Application of FIN 44 did not have an affect on the Company's financial reporting.

(4)

April 1999 Warrants and Options

    In April 1999, the Board of Directors authorized that 100,000 shares of the Common Stock be reserved for the granting of Warrants and Options. Said Warrants and Options are to be sold for a price of five cents per share and have an exercise price of $1.56 per share. The term of the Warrants and Options will be three years from date of issuance. At March 31, 2001, a total of 24,000 shares of the Common Stock have been issued upon the exercises of options and options to purchase a total of 13,000 shares were outstanding.

1985 Employee Stock Option Plan

    In January 1985, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted the Company's 1985 Employee Stock Option Plan (the "1985 Plan"). In November 1985, the shareholders of the Company approved the 1985 Plan. The Board of Directors voted to extend the term of the 1985 Plan by 12 months, thereby making the new expiration date December 31, 1996. The 1985 Plan provided for the grant of both non-qualified stock options and incentive stock options to officers and other key employees of the Company and for the grant of non-qualified stock options to non-employee directors of the Company.

12


The 1985 Plan covered an aggregate of 500,000 shares of the Common Stock. At March 31, 2001, options covering a total of 11,500 shares of the Common Stock were outstanding at an average exercise price of $1.3017 per share. A total of 377,750 shares of the Common Stock have been issued upon the exercise of options granted under the 1985 Plan. The 1985 Plan is administered by the Board of Directors of the Company. The exercise price of options granted could not be less than 100% of the fair market price of the Common Stock on the date of grant. The rate at which options granted under the 1985 Plan become exercisable was determined by the Board of Directors at the time of the grant of the option, provided that the option could not become exercisable in full any faster than annually over a two-year period and no slower than annually over a five-year period. Options which have been granted under the 1985 Plan are exercisable annually with respect to 25% of the total number of shares covered by the option. Options may not be exercised after the expiration of ten years from the date of grant, are non-transferable, other than by will or inheritance, and may be exercised only while an optionee is employed by the Company, except that an option may provide that it will be wholly or partially exercisable (a) within three months after an optionee's termination of employment for any reason other than cause, (b) within one year after an optionee's termination of employment, if such employment is terminated by reason of the optionee's death or permanent disability or if the optionee dies or becomes permanently disabled within three months after the termination of the optionee's employment, and (c) within thirty days after the termination of an optionee's employment for cause. The termination of a non-employee director's employment is deemed to occur on the termination of his or her status as a director of the Company.

    During fiscal 2001, an option to purchase 65,000 shares of the Common Stock was exercised, at an exercise price of $.9375 per share, by Joseph Mazin, the prior Chief Executive Officer of the Company,.

Stock Option Plan Of 2000

    In May 2000, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted the Stock Option Plan of 2000 (the "2000 Plan"). In October 2000, the shareholders of the Company approved the 2000 Plan and ratified options previously granted. The Company registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), the shares issuable upon the exercise of options granted pursuant to the 2000 Plan in a Registration Statement on Form S-8 filed on December 13, 2000. As a result of such filing, optionees who are not affiliates of the Company may resell the shares of the Common Stock received upon exercise immediately, while affiliates will require a "reoffer prospectus" to resell or wait one year after exercise to resell pursuant to the exemption of Rule 144 under the Securities Act. The Company has not as yet filed such reoffer prospectus. The 2000 Option Plan provides for the grant of options to purchase shares of the Common Stock to directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company. Non-qualified stock options may be granted to directors, officers, employees and consultants. Incentive stock options, as such form is defined in Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), may be granted only to employees. The term of the 2000 Option Plan is for ten years and it provides for the grants of an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of the Common Stock. The 2000 Option Plan may be administered by the Board, its Compensation Committee, or any other Committee designated by the Board.

    The 2000 Option Plan, consistent with the provisions of the Code, provides that the exercise price of an incentive stock option shall not be less than the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant, except that, if the employee owns stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock, the exercise price of the option must be at least 110% of the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant and the incentive stock option cannot be exercised after five years from the date of grant. No stock option granted has, and no Stock Option to be granted under the 2000 Option Plan may have, a term in excess of ten years. The exercise price of a nonstatutory or nonqualified option may be less than the fair market value on the date of grant.

13


    The number of shares subject to an outstanding stock option and the exercise price thereof are subject to adjustment in the event of a stock dividend, stock split, reorganization, recapitalization, combination of shares, change in corporate structure or similar events. No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise and the Company has no obligation to pay for such fractional share.

    Options granted to date are not exercisable during the first year after the date of grant and thereafter become exercisable in annual installments. It is expected that future options will be granted on a similar basis. Some options to be granted to employees may have performance goals as the condition precedent to becoming exercisable.

    Stock options to be granted under the 2000 Option Plan will generally be non-transferable and not immediately exercisable.

    If the optionee's employment will terminate for any reason other than his or her death or disability, he or she may, for a period of up to three months, exercise the stock option to the extent exercisable upon the date of termination. If the optionee's employment will terminate because of his or her total and permanent disability (as defined in the Code), the optionee will have 12 months to exercise the stock option to the extent exercisable upon the date of termination. In the event of other disability causing termination, the optionee may have six months (three months in the event the optionee wants continuous treatment of the stock option as an incentive stock option) to exercise the stock option to the extent exercisable upon the date of termination. If the optionee dies, his estate may exercise the stock option to the extent exercisable upon the date of death of the optionee, whether it occurred during the initial term or during the three, six or 12-month periods described in the three preceding sentences. In no event may a stock option be exercised beyond its original expiration date. Similar provisions will be applicable to optionees who are not employees.

    For a consultant to be eligible to receive a grant of a stock option under the 2000 Option Plan, the optionee must be a natural person and the services rendered for the Company must be of a bona fide nature and not in connection with the offer or sale of securities of the Company in a capital raising transaction and do not directly or indirectly promote or maintain a market for the Company's securities.

    At March 31, 2001, options covering a total of 350,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock were outstanding at a weighted average exercise price of $10.50 per share.

    During fiscal 2001, each of the five directors, including Harris A. Shapiro, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, was granted a stock option for 25,000 shares of the Common Stock.

    Subsequent to year-end, the Board terminated its Advisory Board, which action resulted in termination of all of the options granted to consultants, all of whom were members of the Advisory Board, to purchase an aggregate of 100,000 shares. Although the optionees have the right to exercise as to an aggregate of 18,750 shares within a 60-day period, because the exercise prices are well above the current market price of the Common Stock, the Company does not expect these consultants to exercise their options.

Such value is based upon the market value of the Common Stock on the date exercised less the exercise price paid at the time of exercise.

Director Compensation

    Each director is paid $250.00 for telephonic participation and $500.00 for attendance in person at a meeting of the Board.

    Directors may be granted stock options as compensation for their services. During fiscal 2001, each of the five directors was granted a stock option under the 2000 Option Plan for 25,000 shares of the Common Stock.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

    During fiscal 2001, Corey P. Schlossmann and Harris A. Shapiro served as members of the Compensation Committee, with the latter serving as its Chairman. Mr. Schlossmann has never been an officer or employee of the Company. On September 7, 2001, following the resignation of Joseph Mazin as the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer on July 27, 2001, Mr. Shapiro, the Chairman of the Board of the Company, was designated as Chief Executive Officer on an interim basis and the Board authorized his employment for a one-year term because otherwise there would be no operational officer available on a daily basis in the Company. The only other executive officer in the Company was and is Vice President, Finance Irene J. Marino, who also serves as Chief Financial Officer and Chief Accounting Officer of the Company. As indicated elsewhere in this Report (see Items 1 and 7), the Company has been seeking acquisitions and the Board was of the opinion that, if a material acquisition was made, the chief executive officer of the acquired company would be named as Chief Executive Officer of the Company. In such event, Mr. Shapiro would relinquish such designation and remain with the Company as a director and Chairman of the Board (also Chairman of the Compensation Committee). The delay in consummating a material acquisition has resulted in this interlock continuing far beyond the period which was originally contemplated.

    The Compensation Committee did not hold any meetings during fiscal 2001, with any action on compensation (including the granting of options) being taken by the entire Board in view of Mr. Shapiro having to serve as an employee on this interim basis. None of the other directors was or is an officer or employee of the Company.

    There are no other relationships with respect to other entities that would require disclosure here under Item 404 of Regulation S-K.

Board Compensation Committee Report Executive Compensation

    As indicated in the preceding section, there were no meetings of the Compensation Committee held during fiscal 2001. In the absence of a permanent Chief Executive Officer since July 27, 2001, the Board of Directors did not have to make any decision on compensation for such officership, with Mr. Shapiro only serving on an interim basis. In addition, with Ms. Marino as the only other executive officer, the Compensation Committee did not have to meet on a regular basis to review and adopt compensation policies for executive officers generally. Accordingly, no report on such subject was prepared or is necessary currently.

Performance Graph

    Had the Company made the election based on its revenues for fiscal 2000 (which were substantially less than $25,000,000, being only $1,888,000) and its public float as of March 31, 2000 (which was substantially less than $25,000,000, being only $16,711,101), the Company could have filed during fiscal 2001 as a small business issuer. On such basis, it would not have been required to provide the performance graph required by Item 402(l) of Regulation S-K. On such basis and in view of its current losses, the Company requests that it not be obligated to incur the expenses of having a performance graph prepared and filed.


Item 12.  Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management.

    The following table sets forth, as of May 31, 2001, certain information with respect to all shareholders known by the Company to be beneficial owners of more than 5% of its outstanding shares of the Common Stock, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company (being the sole executive officer

    As of March 31, 2001, the Company had approximately $3,180,000 of cash and cash equivalents in three banks which exposes the Company to concentration of credit risk. The cash deposited at each bank is federally insured up to $100,000.

    The Company sells its principal products to a number of customers in the retail industry. As of March 31, 2001, approximately 36%, 19% and 13% of recorded accounts receivable were from three wholesale/discount merchants. To reduce credit risk, the Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers' financial conditions but does not generally require collateral. New customers requiring large credit accounts are required to provide letters of credit.

(3) Marketable Securities

    Marketable securities were all classified as available-for-sale at March 31, 2001 and 2000 and are summarized as follows (dollars in thousands):

    The contractual maturities of debt securities available-for-sale at March 31, 2001 are greater than 40 years.

    Net unrealized holding losses at March 31, 2001 and 2000 were approximately $33,000 and $24,000, respectively. During the years ended March 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, net realized gains (losses) from the sale or impairment of securities were $(46,000), $165,000 and $27,000, respectively.

  1999
(as restated)

  Other   (3 ) (5 )  
  Dividends-received deduction   (4 ) (4 )  
   
 
 
 
    % % %
   
 
 
 

    The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to a significant portion of the deferred tax assets at March 31, 2001 and 2000 are summarized as follows (in thousands):

 
  2001
  2000
Deferred tax assets:          
  Net operating losses   $ 1,864   1,309
  Inventories     60   105
  Marketable securities     18   10
  Accrued expenses     41   38
  Business tax credit carryforwards     30   174
  Other     6   16
   
 
      2,019   1,652
  Less valuation allowance     2,019   1,652
   
 
    $  
   
 

    At March 31, 2001, the Company had net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards of approximately $5,150,000 for federal income tax purposes expiring in varying amounts through 2021. The NOL carryforwards, which are available to offset future profits of the Company and are subject to limitations should a "change in ownership" as defined in the Internal Revenue Code occur, will begin to expire in 2002 if not utilized. Additionally, the Company has general business tax credit carryforwards of approximately $30,000 which will begin to expire in 2002.

    Realization of the future tax benefits of the NOL carryforwards and other deferred tax assets is dependent on the Company's ability to generate future taxable income within the periods in which they benefit. In assessing the likelihood of utilization of existing deferred tax assets, management considered the historical results of continuing operations over the last three years and the current economic environment in which the Company operates. Management has determined that future taxable income of the Company will more likely than not be insufficient to realize the recorded deferred tax assets of $2,019,000, and has recorded a valuation allowance of $2,019,000. During the years ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, the Company increased the valuation allowance in deferred tax assets by $367,000 and $57,000, respectively.

(7) Shareholders' Equity

    On January 20, 2000, the Company entered into certain agreements with Millennium Capital Corporation (MCC) and JDK Associates (JDK). Pursuant to the agreements, the Company sold 1,333,333 shares of its common stock to MCC, JDK and certain of their associates and issued a warrant to purchase 1,800,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $2.75 per share, for aggregate consideration of $3,000,000. In addition, under the agreements, MCC and JDK will provide financial advisory assistance to the Company in searching for and closing future acquisitions and financings for which they will receive an advisory fee of 5% of the estimated purchase price for a future acquisition or for additional capital raised in support of future acquisitions. The term of this agreement is five years.

    Because of the significance of these agreements, the Company was required to obtain, and they did obtain on March 31, 2000, shareholder approval. Immediately thereafter, the warrant holders exercised warrants to purchase 1,780,000 shares of common stock using a cashless exercise provision, resulting in the issuance on March 31, 2000 of 1,515,406 shares of common stock. Accordingly, on March 31, 2000, 2,848,739 shares were issued for aggregate consideration of $3,000,000.

    For financial reporting purposes, the Company has accounted for these transactions as an increase in common stock for $3,000,000, recorded net of the applicable costs. The future 5% consulting fees will be accounted for if and when occurred.

    The remaining warrants to purchase 20,000 shares of common stock at $2.75 per share are outstanding at March 31, 2001.

    During the year ended March 31, 2000, the Company issued 75,000 shares of common stock for consulting services with an aggregate value of $53,000. Also during the fiscal 2000 year, the Company repurchased and retired 35,000 shares of common stock for aggregate consideration of $34,000.

    Dividends of $97,000, representing certain marketable securities, were distributed to common shareholders during the year ended March 31, 2000.

    The articles of incorporation authorize a class of preferred stock issuable in classes and series with such designations, voting rights, redemption provisions, dividend rates, liquidation and conversion rights and other preferences and limitations as may be determined by the Board of Directors. No preferred stock was outstanding at March 31, 2001 or 2000.

(8) Stock Option and Bonus Plans

    During November 1985, the Company adopted the 1985 stock option plan to grant incentive and nonqualified stock options to officers and key employees of the Company for the purchase of up to 500,000 shares of the Company's common stock. Under the plan, options were granted at prices equal to or greater than fair market value at date of grant. The shares, subject to various limitations, are exercisable over terms not to exceed ten years. No options were granted during the three years ended March 31, 2001. A total of 377,750 options was exercised through March 31, 2001, with 11,500 options left outstanding. The 1985 plan has expired; therefore, no additional options can be issued under its terms.

    The Company issued 5,000 common stock options to a former employee during the year ended March 31, 2001. Stock compensation expense of $12,000 was determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model, assuming risk free interest rate of 5.90%, a three-year term, 100% volatility and $0 expected dividend rate.

    In addition, the Board of Directors authorized and the Company issued 20,000 options to a consultant during the year ended March 31, 2001. Stock compensation expense of $25,000 was determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model, assuming risk free interest rate of 6.13%, a three-year term, 100% volatility and $0 expected dividend rate.

2000 Stock Option Plan

    On May 22, 2000, the Company's Board of Directors adopted the Stock Option Plan of 2000 of PerfectData Corporation (the Plan) which provides for the granting of options to directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company. The Company's Board of Directors reserved 1,000,000 shares of common stock under the Plan. On September 7, 2000, the Company's Board of Directors amended the Plan to reserve an additional 1,000,000 shares of common stock. On October 19, 2000, the shareholders of the Company approved the Plan and ratified options previously granted.

    Options granted under the Plan shall be at a price no less than the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant or in the case of nonqualified stock options at a price equal to or greater than 85% of the fair market value on the date of grant. Options issued under the Plan are exercisable at various times as determined by the Board of Directors or its designee.

F–12


    Options to purchase 125,000 shares of common stock were granted to directors on March 31, 2000 at a price of $18.50 per share. In addition, options to purchase 25,000 shares of common stock were issued to a consultant at $18.50 per share. On May 22, 2000, options to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock were issued to consultants at $4.13 per share. Options to purchase 125,000 shares of common stock were granted to directors on September 7, 2000, at a price of $4.63 per share. In addition, options to purchase 25,000 shares of common stock were granted to a consultant at $4.63 per share. All option grants were subject to the approval of the Plan. All option prices were equal to the fair market value at the time of grant. The fair value of the stock on the date shareholder approval was obtained was below the option price in all cases.

    Stock compensation expense of $20,000 related to common stock options issued to consultants has been recognized in the Company's financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2001. Stock compensation expense was determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model, assuming a risk free interest rate of 4.93%, a ten-year term, 100% volatility and $0 expected dividend rate.

    As of March 31, 2001, common stock options that were exercisable total 50,000 at a weighted-average option price of $18.50. As of March 31, 2001, 1,650,000 shares were available for future grant.

    The weighted-average remaining contractual life of all outstanding options was approximately 9.5 years as of March 31, 2001. The weighted-average grant date fair value of all outstanding options was $0.76 at March 31, 2001.

    Options to purchase 395,000, 84,500 and 103,000 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $1.56 to $18.50, $0.9375 to $1.56 and $0.9375 to $1.56 per share were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively, because their inclusion would be antidilutive.

    The Company applies APB Option No. 25 in accounting for its employees and director stock option plans. Had the Company determined compensation cost based on the fair value at the grant date for its stock options under SFAS No. 123, the Company's net loss would have been increased to the pro forma amounts indicated below. The fair value of these options was estimated at the date of
