PART I
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.
Innova Holdings, Inc. (Innova or the "Company") is a software technology company
providing software solutions in the industrial industry, service industry and
consumer markets. The Company's plan of operations is to identify, develop and
acquire technology that is or will become a market leader and to create
opportunities to leverage its software into value-added applications when
combined with other software solutions offered by the Innova group of companies.
Innova offers a suite of software solutions to the service, personal, and
industrial robotic markets. Its software and hardware solutions benefit
industrial robot users and developers of new technology and are adaptable to the
commercial end-user market as well. Innova offers its solutions through
licensing of its proprietary software and the sale of its control systems as
well as through complete system development and integration services.
In addition to its current product offering in the industrial market, Innova's
management believes the Company is positioned to become a market leader for the
emerging service and personal robot industry. This belief is based upon the
expertise, experience, and patented technologies developed by Robotic Workspace
Technologies, Inc. (RWT), a wholly-owned subsidiary, which has served the
industrial market for ten years.
Principal Technology Products and Business Solutions
Innova, through RWT, delivers its software through the sale of Control Systems
and the licensing of its Software to end-user companies, system integrators,
manufacturing support providers, software development companies, and other
partners. The proprietary patents, including two pioneer utility patents issued
by the USPTO and one patent pending, are owned by RWT and cover all applications
pertaining to the interface of a general use computer and the mobility of
robots, regardless of specific applications.
Control Systems
The Company has two control systems, the Universal Robot Controller and the
Universal Automation Controller.
Universal Robot Controller
The Universal Robot Controller(TM) (URC(TM)) is the physical control or robot
control which operates the robot. It includes the general purpose PC running
Windows, RobotScript and other programs as well as dedicated separate processors
for real-time motion control of the robot. The URC cabinet houses the PC that
runs the Windows(R) operating system. RobotScript and other software directly
control the connected systems of the robot and related input and output. It also
incorporates the electronic components needed to control the robot motion and
communicate with other PC devices and platforms including internet connectivity
worldwide. In addition, all inputs and outputs required for auxiliary equipment
are controlled by RobotScript and are included in the URC cabinet.
Universal Automation Controller
The Universal Automation Controller(TM) (UAC(TM)), which is in the later stages
of development and is expected to be released soon, is a general-purpose motion
control system for automated machines with fewer than 5-6 axis of movement. The
UAC provides the power of a full-featured open PC motion controller and
Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) in one easy to use PC control system. It
provides direct motion control for complex machines and adds "soft PLC"
(software control of Input/Output). The enhanced motion control capabilities
provide greater functionality and full motion control of less sophisticated
machinery as well. The UAC is powered by RWT's RobotScript(R) software.
The UAC provides standard communications and interface ports, providing maximum
flexibility in choosing off-the-shelf user interface and communications
components. The Company believes that the UAC shortens development time, reduces
manufacturing time, and dramatically decreases the time to market of
motion-based machines, and therefore will greatly improve productivity and
reduce costs in all manufacturing environments.
5
Licensing of Proprietary Software Solutions - Middleware
RobotScript is a universal programming language based on Microsoft's Visual
Basic(R) Scripting Edition (VBScript(R)) software. It provides a robot language
that is simple to use and easy to learn. From a plain text file, robot
programmers can easily control robot motion, coordinate input and output for
auxiliary equipment and communicate with other PC devices for reporting and data
sharing. Because RobotScript operates in the Windows environment, challenges
common to proprietary control schemes, such as networking and file sharing, are
eliminated. RobotScript can access anything on the operating system or network
as well as utilize the Internet for remote monitoring and control of equipment.
The software can also be easily used to create custom applications specific to
customer needs. A software development kit is provided to allow even novice
developers to quickly create a specialized interface for a particular use in
meeting a customer's need.
The proven success of RobotScript has supported the development of a number of
evolutionary, application-specific modules such as arc-welding, vision systems
and automation control. Additional modules are also in development for other
robotic applications such as:
o Guidance Systems
o Sensor Systems
o Voice Control Systems
o Tactile Control Systems
o Laser Welding
o Material Handling
o Medical Applications
o Elder Care Control Systems
o Entertainment Control Systems
o Plasma Cutting
o Autonomous Underwater Vehicles
o Home Land Security Systems
o Security Systems
o Pharmaceutical Production
o TIG/MIG Welding
Gatekeeper is a communication module that serves as the bridge between the
RobotScript programming software and the motion control mechanisms. Gatekeeper
implements a standard protocol that directs the device driver to activate the
appropriate motion control of the robot, input/output of auxiliary equipment and
other devices operating in real time. It is the core software used as a
foundation for all current and future software modules and languages.
The Innova suite of software will be marketed and sold to the service and
personal robot markets through Service Robots, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary
of Innova. Generally, the Innova suite of software solutions is referred to as
Middleware, which is connectivity software that consists of a set of enabling
services that allow multiple processes running on one or more machines to
interact across a network. Middleware is essential to migrating mainframe
applications to client/server applications and to providing for communication
across heterogeneous platforms. This technology has evolved during the 1990s to
provide for interoperability in support of the move to client/server
architectures.

Markets Served
The markets served are the Industrial Robot market and the Service and Personal
Robot market, which are discussed below.
Industrial Robots - Market Overview
Installations
According to a report released by the UNITED NATIONS ECONOMIC COMMISSION FOR
EUROPE (UNECE) in cooperation with the INTERNATIONAL FEDERATION OF ROBOTICS
(IFR), of which RWT is a supporting member:
o worldwide investment in industrial robots was up 19 percent in 2003 and in
the first half of 2004, orders were up another 18 percent
Worldwide growth between 2004 and 2007 is forecast at an average annual rate of
about 7 percent.
According to the US-based ROBOTIC INDUSTRIES ASSOCIATION (RIA):
o North American robotic companies posted a 13 percent gain in the first
nine months of 2004.
Estimates are that 800,000 to 1 million robots are currently being used
worldwide. Japan leads with some 352,000 units, followed by the European Union
with 266,000 units and about 121,000 units in the United States. (RIA estimates
142,000 robots are being used in the United States).
In Europe, Germany leads with 113,000 units; Italy has 50,000; Spain 20,000, and
the United Kingdom some 14,000 units, according to UNECE.

Users
The primary users of industrial robots in the United States include automotive
manufacturers and automotive suppliers, food and consumer goods companies,
semiconductor and electronics firms, metalworking companies, plastics and rubber
manufacturers, and increasingly sciences, pharmaceutical, and biomedical
businesses, according to RIA.
7
Applications
With regard to applications, material handling - historically the largest
application area for robots - increased 36 percent the first nine months of
2004. Double-digit gains were also posted in assembly, arc welding, and material
handling applications, according to RIA.
Sales
The market for the Company's Universal Robot Controller is the Retrofit market.
Virtually all of the 800,000 + older robots have antiquated control systems
which require replacement in order to improve functionality to current standards
of the robotic industry, and to drastically reduce the costs of spare parts.
Currently, owners of these older robots must buy their spare parts from the
Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and management belives that since these
spare parts for the controller are proprietary to the OEM, the costs of these
spare parts is very high, thus providing a substantial profit margin to the
OEMs. RWT's Universal Robotic Controller is a state of the art solution which in
management's opinion provides more features and functionality then the
controllers of the robot OEMs.
Service Robots - Market Overview
The service robot industry is rapidly emerging and according to many it is
expected to be large. Although a few products/applications have emerged, they
have not, as of 2004, had widespread impact on ancillary goods and services. So,
whether it is a vacuum cleaning robot or a deep-sea remotely operated vehicle,
system controls are OEM specific. However, increasingly the scope of
applications is beginning to expand and we are experiencing an increasing demand
for software to function as the middleware for connectivity, interoperability,
and ease of integration between high-powered software and devices. We are
beginning to see the smart refrigerator and whole house control systems that may
evolve to have a need to communicate with the vacuum cleaning robot and robotic
lawn mower. In the professional service robot sector, robots used for handling
bombs and hazardous materials may evolve such that there is a need to interface
with, for example, Homeland Security systems using vision, audio and data. As
the market better realizes the potential of such applications, there will be a
substantial push for open software standards. RWT's RobotScript is now poised to
enter this market as the only proven middleware offering with substantial scope
of applications and functionality throughout all sectors of the Service Robots
market - Professional, Entertainment and Personal.
Professional Use
According to UNECE, at the end of 2003, it is estimated that some 21,000 units
were in operation. The value of professional service robots in use is estimated
at $2.4 billion. This market is expected to grow by 54,000 units between 2004
and 2007. Specific areas of use are:
o Underwater systems
o Cleaning robots
o Laboratory robots
o Demolition and construction
o Medical robots
o Mobile robot platforms/general
o Defense, rescue, security
o Field robots (milking, forestry)
The unit prices for professional service robots range from less than $10,000 to
more than $300,000. The most expensive service robots are the underwater systems
($300,000), followed by milking robots ($200,000). The average price of a
medical robot is about $150,000.
UNECE suggests that in the coming years, service robots will not only clean
floors, mow lawns and guard homes, they will assist the elderly and handicapped
with sophisticated interactive equipment, carry out surgery, inspect pipes and
hazardous sites, fight fires, and dispose of bombs. UNECE believes there is a
huge worldwide military investment in service robot R&D that will spur spin-off
products for both the consumer and professional markets.
8
Entertainment Use
Robots for entertainment and leisure use, which include toy robots, are forecast
to reach 2.5 million units with a value of $4 billion in the 2004-2007
timeframe, according to UNECE.
Personal Use
At the end of 2003, about 610,000 service robots - autonomous vacuum cleaners
and lawn-mowing robots - were in operation. In 2004-2007 more than 4 million new
units are forecasted with an estimated value of $2.7 billion according to UNECE.
SALES AND MAKETING
The sales and marketing channels employed by Innova include direct sales,
re-sellers, websites, distributors, system integrators and other partners. The
Company is currently in the process of establishing these relationships.
Industrial Controls
The sales for the Universal Robot Controller (URC(TM)) and the Universal
Automation Controller (UAC(TM)) will be directed from the company's offices in
Pontiac, Michigan and Ft. Myers, Florida. Offices are located in the building of
the Classic Companies located in Michigan. Classic has been a long-term systems
integrator for our company. RWT will have a sales representative organization in
place in Chicago, Cincinnati & Atlanta with systems integrators being supported
in each of those areas either from Ft. Myers or directly from Detroit. This is a
model that the company used several years ago, and it functioned successfully
based on territorial splits, commission splits and properly placed applications
engineering support.
As the territories in the southwest and in the lower central U.S. develop, it is
anticipated that sales representative organizations will be used with a direct
support person knowledgeable in applications engineering and our software
capabilities.
Service Robots
The sales, licensing and software applications support for the service robot
activity will initially be headquartered out of Ft. Myers, Florida, until such
time that other areas require support. Another event for the company will be the
service robot conferences and expositions sponsored by Robotics Trends and
supported by other device manufacturers that the Company will be targeting to
license RobotScript(R) as their software development kit.
With respect to the entertainment portion of the future business, a regional
office will be located in Orlando, Florida. This office will be supported
through Ft. Myers and will concentrate primarily on the entertainment and
hospitality industry for service applications and animatronics, while licensing
our software for specific applications.
Innova's Business Development Group is comprised of several high powered
business developers with a focus on the following markets:
o Entertainment

Marketing
Our marketing and sales materials will be generated from the home office in Ft.
Myers, Florida using our existing marketing and PR firm, Incomm International.
Additional high level support for closing deals at corporate levels will also be
supported out of Ft. Myers, Florida.
Protection of Trade Secrets and Patents - Significant Litigation
On December 9, 2004, RWT filed a case in the United States District Court for
the Middle District of Florida against ABB, Inc. and ABB Robotics AB. The
action alleges misappropriation of trade secrets, breach of contract and
breach of the covenant of good faith. The action stems from dealings between
the parties in 2002. RWT seeks a trial by jury, an injunction prohibiting
continued use of RWT's trade secrets, and money damages. It is possible that
ABB, Inc. or ABB Robotics AB will counterclaim, although no counterclaims
have yet been filed. The action is entitled Robotic Workspace Technologies,
Inc. v. ABB, Inc. and ABB Robotics AB, Case No. 2:04-cv-611-FtM-29-SPC
RWT Business From1994 Through 2004
RWT started operations in 1994 with the intent to develop a PC based coordinated
motion controller for industrial robots. Up to that point in time, virtually
everyone in the industry doubted if a PC based controller, using an open
architecture system and based on Microsoft's platform, could ever be developed
and accepted as a standard in the industry. RWT dedicated significant resources
and time, over $6 million and six years, to successfully develop such a
controller and was awarded two pioneer utility patents by the USPTO. RWT
successfully established itself as a provider of a Universal Robot Controller to
the industrial market, and in particular to the automobile industry, the key
market for RWT products. In November 2000, after 10 months of due diligence
verifying source code and the operations of the Universal Robot Controller at
Ford and other production facilities, the Ford Motor Company investment group
invested $3.0 million in RWT and Ford planned a substantial order for RWT's
Universal Robot Controllers. Also, Ford received the first rights to RWT's
development and up to 80% of RWT's production capacity. The Ford Vice President
for Body Assembly, Stamping and Structures joined the RWT Board of Directors.
In June 2001, a joint international press conference announcing the Ford
investment in RWT was held at the 32nd International Robotics Conference and
Exposition. Additionally, 10 Universal Robot Controllers were successfully sold
and installed in non-automotive manufacturing environments. However, the
10
business of RWT was drastically and adversely affected by the economic recession
and the impact on the automobile industry after the September 11, 2001 attacks
in the US. After the September 11, 2001 attacks, Ford cancelled their orders due
to large losses they were incurring. The resulting continued downturn in the
economy and RWT's inability to raise additional capital resulted in the
termination of all its employees, except the Chief Executive Officer and several
contract employees. RWT substantially shut down its operations during December
2002.
RWT today is building back its business and plans to re-emerge as a provider of
the Universal Robot Controller for the automotive market and other companies in
the industrial market. Additionally, it is in the final stages of developing its
Universal Automation Controller that is targeted to the very broad manufacturing
markets globally. And RWT is offering its RobotScript software and related
application modules including Gatekeeper software under licensing agreements,
which are targeted to the service and personal robot market.
Activities of Hy-Tech Prior to the Merger With RWT
Innova was previously named Hy Tech Technology Group, Inc. (Hy Tech) and had as
its sole operating activities its wholly-owned operating subsidiary Hy Tech
Computer Systems, Inc. (HTCS). On August 25, 2004, Hy Tech completed the reverse
acquisition into RWT in which RWT was deemed to be the "accounting acquirer."
Simultaneously, Hy Tech sold its Hy-Tech Computer Systems, Inc. subsidiary and
discontinued its computer systems sales and services business. Prior to these
transactions, Hy-Tech changed its name to Innova Holdings, Inc.
In January 31, 2003, HTCS completed a reverse acquisition into SRM Networks, an
Internet service provider and web hosting business, in which HTCS was deemed the
"accounting acquirer". SRM Networks, Inc., a Nevada corporation, was
incorporated on June 8, 2001and as part of the reverse merger agreement changed
its state of incorporation to Delaware. In connection with the transaction, SRM
Networks, Inc. changed its name to Hy-Tech Technology Group, Inc. and HTCS
discontinued SRM Network's Internet business.
HTCS was formed in 1992 in Fort Myers, Florida as a supplier to the information
technology business. From 1992 through 2002, HTCS was a leading custom systems
builder and authorized distributor of the world's leading computer system and
components. The products sold by HTCS were "Hy-Tech" branded computer systems -
desktops, notebooks and servers, computer components and peripherals, computer
storage products; computer operating systems and office software; Compaq
computer systems - desktop and servers; computer service; and computer warranty
work. At the end of 2003, as a result of substantial losses, the management of
HTCS concluded that the then existing business was not viable, and initiated the
changes necessary to closing its stores, laying off employees and transferring
all business to e-commerce. Negotiations were initiated to acquire RWT and to
divest the old HTCS business, which was accomplished in August 2004. As a
result, Innova is no longer actively selling any of the HTCS products.
On April 29, 2003, Hy Tech entered into an agreement called an "Option to
Purchase" ("Settlement Agreement") with SunTrust Bank under which Hy Tech agreed
to settle all pending litigation and satisfy all judgments obtained against the
HTCS subsidiary by SunTrust Bank. Hy Tech agreed to pay a total of $1.5 million
by August 28, 2003 in full settlement of all of SunTrust's claims of
approximately $3.7 million. Under the terms of the Settlement Agreement, Hy Tech
delivered $1.0 million dollars to SunTrust on April 29, 2003. This $1.0 million
represents all of the proceeds of the sale of the Convertible Debenture
described below. Hy Tech also agreed to pay SunTrust three installments of
$65,000 each in June 2003, July 2003 and August 2003, and the balance of
$305,000 on or before August 28, 2003. Hy Tech used part of the proceeds from
the Factoring Line of Credit to pay the August 28, 2003 installment of $305,000
due to SunTrust Bank, and all other amounts were paid. As a result of this
settlement, Hy Tech obtained the ownership of the Sun Trust judgment, per the
Settlement Agreement.
On April 22, 2003, Hy Tech entered into an Advisory Agreement (the "Advisory
Agreement") with Altos Bancorp Inc. ("Altos") pursuant to which Altos agreed to
act as the Company's exclusive business advisor for a one year period. Martin
Nielson was President of Altos and subsequently became Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer of Hy Tech. Altos advised Hy Tech regarding equity and debt
financings, strategic planning, mergers and acquisitions, and business
developments.
11
In conjunction with the decision to proceed with the RWT acquisition, the
agreement with Altos was concluded. Altos did not receive any cash compensation
for its services rendered, but will receive 16,133,333 shares of the Company's
common stock.
On April 28, 2003, a merger between Hy Tech and Sanjay Haryama ("SH"), a Wyoming
corporation, was effected. The merger was based upon an Agreement and Plan of
Merger dated April 28, 2003 among the parties. Pursuant to the merger (i) SH was
merged with and into Hy Tech; (ii) the SH shareholder exchanged 1,000 shares of
common stock of SH, constituting all of the issued and outstanding capital stock
of SH, for an aggregate of 1,000 shares of Hy Tech's restricted common stock;
and (iii) SH's separate corporate existence terminated. The SH shareholder was
Coachworks Auto Leasing, which is wholly owned by Jehu Hand. The determination
of the number of shares of Hy Tech's stock to be exchanged for the SH shares was
based upon arms' length negotiations between the parties.
Prior to the merger, SH completed a $1,000,000 financing transaction pursuant to
Rule 504 of Regulation D of the General Rules and Regulations under the
Securities Act of 1933 as amended pursuant to a Convertible Debenture Purchase
Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") dated April 21, 2003 between SH and an
accredited Colorado investor (the "Investor"). In connection therewith, SH sold
a 1% 1,000,000 Convertible Debenture due April 20, 2008 (the "SH Debenture") to
the Investor. The unpaid principal amount of the SH Debenture was convertible
into unrestricted shares of SH common stock to be held in escrow pending the
repayment or conversion of the SH Debenture. Pursuant to the merger, Hy Tech
assumed all obligations of SH under the SH Debenture and issued the holder
thereof its 1% $1,000,000 Convertible Debenture due April 28, 2008 (the
"Convertible Debenture") in exchange for the SH Convertible Debenture. The
material terms of the Convertible Debenture were identical to the terms of the
SH Convertible Debenture except that the unpaid principal amount of the
Convertible Debenture was convertible into unrestricted shares of Hy Tech's
Common Stock (the "Common Stock"). The per share conversion price for the
Convertible Debenture in effect on any conversion date was the lesser of (a)
$0.35 or one-hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the average of the closing
bid prices per share of Hy Tech's Common Stock during the five (5) trading days
immediately preceding April 29, 2003 or (b) one hundred percent (100%) of the
average of the three (3) lowest closing bid prices per share of Hy Tech's Common
Stock during the forty (40) trading days immediately preceding the date on which
the holder of the Convertible Debenture provides the escrow agent with a notice
of conversion. The number of shares of Hy Tech's Common Stock issuable upon
conversion was also subject to anti-dilution provisions. The Investor's right to
convert the Convertible Debenture was subject to the limitation that the
Investor may not at any time own more than 4.99% of the outstanding Common Stock
of Hy Tech, unless Hy Tech was in default of any provision of the Convertible
Debenture or the Investor gives seventy five (75) days advance notice of its
intent to exceed the limitation.
Between the date of the merger and the end of November, 2003, the Convertible
Debenture was fully converted to Common Stock of Hy Tech.
On April 28, 2003, Hy Tech announced it had entered into a financing transaction
in which it had received a firm commitment from a private equity fund for the
purchase of a $750,000 convertible debenture from Hy Tech (the "Second
Debenture"). The Second Debenture was not closed and Hy Tech arranged for
alternative financing under a Factoring Line of Credit with Platinum Funding
Corporation.
In May 2003, Martin Nielson assumed full time responsibilities as Chief
Executive Office, brought new investors to the company, and was chartered to
transform Hy Tech away from being a custom systems builder. During the fiscal
year, Hy Tech took steps necessary to design the new business strategy and
commenced the implementation of this strategy, which also included growth by
acquisition. Among these steps taken were:
o construction of the details of the new plan which led to the decision
to transform and then divest HTCS
12
o restructuring of the personnel and reduction of costs and writing off
of unproductive assets
o engagement of key professionals
o negotiating with sources of new investment
o identifying and negotiating with acquisition targets
Concurrent with the steps taken, Hy Tech aggressively pursued new financing from
debt and equity sources to increase working capital, further reduce liabilities,
and to help negotiate acquisitions to provide a platform for growth.
At the same time and due to the substantial requirement for capital to keep
inventory in multiple outlets and to finance receivables, Hy Tech faced
significant challenges to produce an adequate return on investment from HTCS. Hy
Tech restructured operations by shifting its sales operations to an online store
operated by a third party. This change was important. It was much more cost
effective and far less capital intensive. HTCS eliminated the overhead of the
local wholesale outlets, and all local costs became variable. Key employees in
the local operations were offered positions with the contracting company, yet
HTCS retained benefit of the sales as part of the deal.
In February 2004, Hy Tech announced its planned changes which included its
planned acquisition of Robotic Workspace Technologies (RWT) and the intended
divestiture of HTCS. Such changes were in keeping with Hy Tech's new plan to
grow by acquisitions, to differentiate itself by adding unique technologies, by
converting to e-commerce selling and distribution techniques and by adding
complementary, higher margin services.
Effective July 29, 2004, Hy Tech changed its name to Innova Holdings, Inc. from
Hy-Tech Technology Group, Inc. Hy Tech's trading symbol changed to "IVHG.
Simultaneously with the name change, Hy Tech increased its authorized
capitalization from 101,000,000 shares, consisting of 100,000,000 shares of
common stock, $.001 par value and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $.001 par
value to 910,000,000 shares, consisting of 900,000,000 shares of common stock,
$.001 par value and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $.001 par value.
On July 21, 2004, Hy Tech entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the
"Agreement") with Robotic Workspace Technologies, Inc. ("RWT"). This transaction
closed on August 25, 2004. The Agreement provided that RWT Acquisition, Inc., a
wholly owned subsidiary of Hy Tech, will merge into RWT, with RWT continuing as
the surviving corporation. RWT became a wholly owned subsidiary of Hy Tech. The
shareholders of RWT were issued an aggregate of 280,000,000 shares of Hy Tech's
common stock as consideration for the merger. RWT's outstanding options were
converted into options to acquire Hy Tech common stock at the same exchange
ratio at which the RWT shareholders received Hy Tech common stock. For financial
reporting purposes this transaction was treated as an acquisition of Innova and
a recapitalization of RWT using the purchase method of accounting. RWT's
historical financial statements replaced Innova's for SEC reporting purposes. As
part of the agreement, the Company agreed to indemnify the directors of the
Company from certain liabilities that were in existence on the date of closing
of the sale, which management believes may apply to a maximum of approximately
$500,000 of debt. If the Company issues shares of its common stock to settle any
of this debt, it shall issue an equal number of common shares to the former RWT
shareholders, in proportion to their RWT share holdings.
The determination of the number of shares of Hy Tech common stock exchanged for
the RWT common stock was determined in arms length negotiations between the
Boards of Directors of Hy Tech and RWT. The negotiations took into account the
value of RWT's financial position, results of operations, products, prospects
and other factors relating to RWT's business. At the time of the execution of
the Agreement, there were no material relationships between RWT and Hy Tech or
any of its affiliates, any director or officer of Hy Tech, or any associate of
any such officer or director.
13
On June 23, 2004, Hy Tech entered into and simultaneously closed an Agreement
with Encompass Group Affiliates, Inc. (Encompass"), pursuant to which Hy Tech
granted to Encompass exclusive, worldwide, royalty free, fully paid up,
perpetual and irrevocable licenses to use Hy Tech's customer list for its
computer and systems related products and its related websites. Hy Tech also
assigned to Encompass Hy Tech's rights to enter into acquisitions with
Cyber-Test, Inc., BCD 2000, Inc. and Pacific Magtron International, Inc. Hy Tech
agreed for a five year period commencing on the closing not to compete with
Encompass (i) in the business of the marketing, sale, integration, distribution
or repair of computer systems, components, equipment or peripherals, and any
related consulting work, and (ii) conducting any business of a nature (A)
engaged in by Encompass or its subsidiaries or (B) engaged in by Hy Tech at the
time of closing, or (C) engaged in by any of BCD 2000, Inc., Cyber Test, Inc. or
Pacific Magtron International Corp. at the time the stock or assets of which are
acquired by Encompass. For (i) a period of three (3) months following the
closing, Hy Tech is permitted to sell, in the ordinary course of its business,
any inventory not sold on or prior to the closing and (ii) so long as RWT is
engaged solely in the business of developing or acquiring proprietary computer
technology within the robotics field, Hy Tech will be permitted to engage in
this business.
Encompass hired Martin Nielson, who had been Hy Tech's Chief Executive Officer,
as an Executive Officer. Mr. Nielson will continue to serve on Hy Tech's board
of directors and resigned as Hy Tech's Chief Executive Officer.
In consideration for the transaction, Encompass assumed all of Hy Tech's
obligations under certain Convertible Debentures (the "Convertible Debentures")
in the aggregate principal amount of $503,300. The holders of the Convertible
Debentures released Hy Tech from all claims arising under the Convertible
Debentures.
The determination of the consideration in the Encompass transaction was
determined in arms length negotiations between the Boards of Directors of Hy
Tech and Encompass. The negotiations took into account the value of the assets
sold to Encompass and the consideration received. At the time of the
transaction, there were no material relationships between Encompass and Hy Tech
or any of its affiliates, any director or officer of Hy Tech, or any associate
of any such officer or director.
On June 23, 2004, immediately after the closing of the transaction with
Encompass, Hy tech entered into a private placement of 125,000 shares of its
Series A Preferred Stock for an aggregate issue price of $125,000 with the
holders of the Convertible Debentures. Each share of the Series A Preferred
Stock (i) pays a dividend of 5%, payable at the discretion of Hy tech in cash or
common stock, (ii) is convertible into the number of shares of common stock
equal to $1.00 divided by a conversion price equal to the lesser of 75% of the
average closing bid price of Hy Tech's common stock over the twenty trading days
preceding conversion or $0.005, (iii) has a liquidation preference of $1.00 per
share, (iv) must be redeemed by Hy Tech five years after issuance at $1.00 per
share plus accrued and unpaid dividends, (v) may be redeemed by Hy Tech at any
time for $1.30 per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends and (vi) has no
voting rights except when mandated by Delaware law.
In the event that Hy Tech has not (a) completed the merger with RWT and (2) RWT
has not raised $500,000 in new capital by August 27, 2004, then each of the
holders of the Series A Preferred Stock may elect to convert their shares into
(a) a demand note payable by Hy Tech in the principal amount equal to the
purchase price of the Series A Preferred Stock plus accrued and unpaid
dividends, with interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) until paid in full and
(b) warrants to purchase 2,500,000 shares of Hy Tech's common stock at an
exercise price of $.005 per share, with a term of two (2) years' from the date
of issuance, and standard anti-dilution provisions regarding stock splits,
recapitalizations and mergers, for each $25,000 of Series A Preferred Stock
purchased. This issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock was exempt from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") pursuant to
section 4(2) of the Act.
On August 18, 2004 the Company entered into an agreement with Aegis Funds, Inc
(AFI) to sell all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of HTCS to AFI.
The sale of HTCS to AFI closed on August 25, 2004. At the closing date, for and
in consideration for the transfer to AFI of the HTCS Capital Stock, AFI became
the record and beneficial owner of the HTCS Capital Stock, the Company
transferred as directed by AFI and for the benefit of HTCS the sum of fifteen
thousand dollars ($15,000) in good funds, and the judgment of Sun Trust Bank
against HTCS was transferred to AFI free of all claims and liens. AFI is
controlled by Gary McNear and Craig Conklin, who are directors of the Company.
The transaction was approved by the member of the board of directors who had no
interest in the transaction.

Convertible Securities
On June 23, 2004, the Company entered into a private placement of 125,000 shares
of its Series A Preferred Stock for an aggregate issue price of $125,000 with
the holders of the Company's Convertible Debentures. Each share of the Series A
Preferred Stock (i) pays a dividend of 5%, payable at the discretion of the
Company in cash or common stock, (ii) is convertible into the number of shares
of common stock equal to $1.00 divided by a price equal to the lesser of 75% of
the average closing bid price of the Company's common stock over the twenty
trading days preceding conversion or $0.005, (iii) has a liquidation preference
of $1.00 per share, (iv) must be redeemed by the Company five years after
issuance at $1.00 per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends, (v) may be
redeemed by the Company at any time for $1.30 per share plus accrued and unpaid
dividends and (vi) has no voting rights except when mandated by Delaware law.
18
In the event that the Company had not completed the merger with RWT and RWT had
not raised $500,000 in new capital by August 27, 2004, then each of the holders
of the Series A Preferred Stock could elect to convert their shares into (a) a
demand note payable by the Company, in the principal amount equal to the
purchase price of the Series A Preferred Stock plus accrued and unpaid
dividends, with interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) until paid in full and
(b) warrants to purchase 2,500,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an
exercise price of $.005 per share, with a term of two (2) years from the date of
issuance, and standard anti-dilution provisions regarding stock splits,
recapitalizations and mergers, for each $25,000 of Series A Preferred Stock
purchased. Since RWT had not raised $500,000 by August 27, 2004 the holders of
the Series A Preferred Stock could have elected to convert their shares into the
demand note but none of the holders elected to do so. This issuance of the
Series A Preferred Stock was exempt from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") pursuant to section 4(2) of the Act.
In September 2004, the Company authorized $525,000 of Series B Preferred Stock,
convertible into the Company's common stock at the lesser of $.005 per share or
75% of the average closing bid prices over the 20 trading days immediately
preceding the date of conversion. At December 31, 2004 $377,000 of the Series B
Preferred Stock had been sold; as of March 15, 2005 all of the Series B
Preferred Stock was sold. None of the Series B Preferred Stock has been
converted into common stock. This issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock was
exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 (the
"Act") pursuant to section 4(2) of the Act.
Penny Stock Regulation
Shares of our common stock are subject to rules adopted by the Securities and
Exchange Commission that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with
transactions in "penny stocks". Penny stocks are generally equity securities
with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain
national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that
current price and volume information with respect to transactions in those
securities is provided by the exchange or system). The penny stock rules require
a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt
from those rules, deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by
the Securities and Exchange Commission, which contains the following:
o a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny
stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading;
o a description of the broker's or dealer's duties to the customer and of
the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to
violation to such duties or other requirements of securities' laws;
o a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including "bid"
and "ask" prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread
between the "bid" and "ask" price;
o a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions;
o definitions of significant terms in the disclosure document or in the
conduct of trading in penny stocks; and
o such other information and is in such form (including language, type, size
and format), as the Securities and Exchange Commission shall require by
rule or regulation.
19
Prior to effecting any transaction in penny stock, the broker-dealer also must
provide the customer the following:
o the bid and offer quotations for the penny stock;
o the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the
transaction;
o the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other
comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the
market for such stock; and
o monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock
held in the customer's account.
In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a
penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, the broker-dealer must make a
special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for
the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written acknowledgment of the receipt
of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving
penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitably statement. These
disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in
the secondary market for a stock that becomes subject to the penny stock rules.
Holders of shares of our common stock may have difficulty selling those shares
because our common stock will probably be subject to the penny stock rules.
ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION.
Plan Of Operation
During the next twelve months, the Company expects to aggressively market and
sell its Universal Robot Controller, complete the development of its Universal
Automation Controller and license its software in the service, personal and
industrial markets. The Company, during the past ten years, successfully
developed its open architecture PC based Universal Robot Controller and
developed its RobotScript, Gatekeeper and related software. Additionally, the
development of the Universal Automation Controller was commenced and is now in
its final stages. As discussed in Item 1 of this document, management believes
there is a large market opportunity for its controllers and software, and
management intends to aggressively pursue those opportunities. Specifically, the
Company has established a Business Development group consisting of ten
individuals who will focus largely on the software licensing opportunities,
retained an industry experienced individual to sell its Universal Robot
Controller as well as license its software, and will establish contractual
relationships with independent sales firms to sell its controllers into the
industrial markets.
Regarding research and development, management expects to continue to constantly
upgrade and improve its software and will work towards developing the next
generation of software. In March 2005, the Company hired Chris Wright as Vice
President of Engineering who is responsible for the continued development and
acquisition of the Company's software, and the identification and development of
new technologies to incorporate into the Company's technology solutions.
The Company does not expect to sell any of its property or equipment in the next
twelve months, nor does it expect to purchase any real property in the next
twelve months. The Company expects to enter into a lease for office space and
laboratory facilities and expects to have as part of that lease the build-out of
the space to meet the needs of the Company's employees. During the next twelve
months the Company expects to purchase certain equipment to support software
development, testing and continued deployment of its technologies. Additionally,
the Company expects to purchase office equipment, computer equipment and
laboratory development and testing equipment to support the planned increase of
the number of employees of the Company.
In order to accomplish all of the goals established by the Company during the
next twelve months, the Company intends to hire approximately 30 employees in
software engineering and applications development, production, sales, and
administration. The funds to finance this expansion are planned to be obtained
from a private equity investment later this year, as well as the issuance of
convertible preferred stock.
20
The Company has been successful in raising working capital through the private
sale of convertible preferred stock and intends to continue to raise funds in
this manner. Additionally, the Company intends to raise the majority of its
funding needs through a private equity sale during 2005. Management believes the
Company will be able to raise sufficient funds through these sources to meet its
cash requirements for the next twelve months and beyond.
The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

the Company to continue as a going concern.
During the two most recent fiscal years ended February 29, 2004 and February 28,
2003 and in the subsequent interim periods through the date of dismissal, there
were no disagreements between the Company and Malone & Bailey, PLLC on any
matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or
auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to its
satisfaction, would have caused Malone & Bailey, PLLC to make reference to the
subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its reports.
During the two most recent fiscal years ended February 29, 2004 and February 28,
2003 and in the subsequent interim periods through the date of dismissal, Malone
& Bailey, PLLC did not advise the Company that:
(A) Internal controls necessary for the Company to develop reliable
financial statements did not exist;
(B) Information had come to its attention that led it to no longer to be
able to rely on the Company's management's representations or made it
unwilling to be associated with the financial statements prepared by
management;
(C) There was a need to expand significantly the scope of its audit, or
that information had come to its attention during such time periods that
if further investigated might: (i) materially impact the fairness or
reliability of either a previously issued audit report or the underlying
financial statements, or the financial statements issued or to be issued
covering the fiscal periods subsequent to the date of the most recent
financial statements covered by an audit report, or (ii) cause it to be
unwilling to rely on management's representations or be associated with
the Company's financial statements.

Effective March 5, 2003, the client-auditor relationship between the Company
(previously named Hy Tech Technology Group, Inc. and SRM Networks, Inc.) and
Quintanilla, a Professional Accountancy Corporation ("Quintanilla") ceased. On
that date, the Company engaged Malone & Bailey, PLLC as its principal
independent public accountant. The decision to engage Malone & Bailey, PLLC was
made by the Company's Finance and Audit Committee in accordance with Section 301
of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The change was based on the relocation of the
Company's principal place of business from California to Florida.
Malone & Bailey, PLLC succeeded Quintanilla. Quintanilla's report on the
financial statements of SRM Networks since its inception on June 8, 2001 through
December 31, 2001 and any later interim period up to and including the date the
relationship with Quintanilla ceased, did not contain any adverse opinion or
disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit
scope or accounting principles.
In connection with the audit of SRM Network's first and most recent fiscal year
ending December 31, 2001 and any later interim period, including the interim
period up to and including the date the relationship with Quintanilla ceased,
there have been no disagreements with Quintanilla on any matters of accounting
principles or practices, financial statement disclosure of auditing scope or
procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of
Quintanilla would have caused Quintanilla to make reference to the subject
matter of the disagreements in connection with its report on the Company's
financial statements. Since the Company's inception on June 8, 2001, there have
been no reportable events as defined in Item 301(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
The Company authorized Quintanilla to respond fully to any inquiries of any new
auditors hired by the Company relating to their engagement as the Company's
independent accountant. The Company requested that Quintanilla review the
disclosure and Quintanilla was given an opportunity to furnish the Company with
a letter addressed to the Commission containing any new information,
clarification of the Company's expression of its views, or the respect in which
it does not agree with the statements made by the Company herein.
The Company did not previously consult with Malone & Bailey, PLLC regarding
either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction,
either completed or proposed; or (ii) the type of audit opinion that might be
rendered on the Company's financial statements; or (iii) any matter that was
either the subject matter of a disagreement (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of
Regulation S-K and the related instructions) between the Company and
Quintanilla, the Company's previous independent accountant, as there were no
such disagreements or another reportable event (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v)
of Regulation S-K) from the Company's inception through December 31, 2001 and
any later interim period, including the interim period up to and including the
date the relationship with Quintanilla ceased. The Company has not received any
written or oral advice concluding there was an important factor to be considered
by the Company in reaching a decision as to an accounting, auditing, or
financial reporting issue. Malone & Bailey, PLLC reviewed the disclosure
required by Item 304(a) before it was filed with the Commission and was provided
an opportunity to furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Commission
containing any new information, clarification of the Company's expression of its
views, or the respects in which it does not agree with the statements made by
the Company in response to Item 304(a). Malone & Bailey, PLLC did not furnish a
letter to the Commission.

2004 Stock Option Plan
The Company adopted the 2004 stock option plan on April 15, 2004. The Plan
provides for the grant of options intended to qualify as "incentive stock
options", options that are not intended to so qualify or "nonstatutory stock
options" and stock appreciation rights. The total number of shares of common
stock reserved for issuance under the plan is 3,150,000 subject to adjustment in
the event of a stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or similar capital
change. Additionally, the Company authorized 10,900,000 options to be awarded to
management on October 29, 2003 and on December 15, 2005 authorized options for
32,121,276 shares of common stock for directors and an independent contractor.
26
The plan is presently administered by the Company's board of directors, which
selects the eligible persons to whom options shall be granted, determines the
number of common shares subject to each option, the exercise price therefore and
the periods during which options are exercisable, interprets the provisions of
the plan and, subject to certain limitations, may amend the plan. Each option
granted under the plan shall be evidenced by a written agreement between the
Company and the optionee.
Options may be granted to employees (including officers) and directors and
certain consultants and advisors.
The exercise price for incentive stock options granted under the plan may not be
less than the fair market value of the common stock on the date the option is
granted, except for options granted to 10% stockholders which must have an
exercise price of not less than 110% of the fair market value of the common
stock on the date the option is granted. The exercise price for nonstatutory
stock options is determined by the board of directors. Incentive stock options
granted under the plan have a maximum term of ten years, except for 10%
stockholders who are subject to a maximum term of five years. The term of
nonstatutory stock options is determined by the board of directors. Options
granted under the plan are not transferable, except by will and the laws of
descent and distribution.
Also, the plan allows the board of directors to award to an optionee for each
share of common stock covered by an option, a related alternate stock
appreciation right, permitting the optionee to be paid the appreciation on the
option in lieu of exercising the option. The amount of payment to which an
optionee shall be entitled upon the exercise of each stock appreciation right
shall be the amount, if any, by which the fair market value of a share of common
stock on the exercise date exceeds the exercise price per share of the option.
Director's Compensation
The Company has not paid and does not presently propose to pay cash compensation
to any director for acting in such capacity. However, the Company will give the
directors a grant of shares of common stock or options and reimbursement for
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for attending meetings.

ITEM 11. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND
RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
The following table sets forth certain information regarding the beneficial
ownership of our common stock as of March 15, 2005, by each person or entity
known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the outstanding shares
of common stock, each of our directors and named executive officers, and all of
our directors and executive officers as a group. Beneficial ownership has been
determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended. Generally, a person is deemed to be the beneficial owner of a
security if he has the right to acquire voting or investment power within 60
days.
Percentage ownership in the following table is based on 371,296,897 shares of
common stock outstanding as of March 15, 2005. A person is deemed to be the
beneficial owner of securities that can be acquired by that person within 60
days from March 15, 2005 upon the exercise of options, warrants or convertible
securities, or other rights. Each beneficial owner's percentage ownership is
determined by dividing the number of shares beneficially owned by that person by
the base number of outstanding shares, increased to reflect the shares
underlying options, warrants, convertible securities, or other rights included
in that person's holdings, but not those underlying shares held by any other
person.

claims and liens. AFI is controlled by Gary McNear and Craig Conklin, who are
directors of the Company. The transaction was approved by the member of the
board of directors who had no interest in the transaction.
29
On July 22, 2002, the Company entered into a revolving line of credit of
$225,000 with Fifth Third Bank, Florida, secured by the assets of the Company.
The annual interest rate on unpaid principal is the prime rate plus 2%, due in
monthly installments. Principal and interest were due on July 22, 2003. In
November 2004, a principal shareholder, Jerry E. Horne, loaned the Company
$165,000 to pay down the line of credit with Fifth Third Bank. The loan has the
same terms as the Fifth Third Bank line of credit, except that it remains
unsecured until such time as the Fifth Third Bank line of credit is fully paid,
including principal and accrued interest, and is due upon demand. In January
2005, the Fifth Third Bank line of credit was paid off.
On August 25, 2004 the Company issued 280,000,000 shares of common stock for
100% of the outstanding stock of Robotic Workspace Technology, Inc ("RWT"). For
financial reporting purposes this transaction was treated as an acquisition of
Innova and a recapitalization of RWT using the purchase method of accounting. As
part of this transaction, Walter K. Weisel received 53,172,765 shares of the
Company and Jerry E. Horne received 74,329,227 shares of the Company.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Board of Directors
Innova Holdings, Inc.
Ft Myers Beach, Florida
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Innova Holdings, Inc. as of
December 31, 2004 and the related statements of operations, stockholders'
deficit, and cash flows for each of the two years then ended. These financial
statements are the responsibility of Innova's management. Our responsibility is
to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Innova Holdings, Inc. as of
December 31, 2004 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each
of the two years then ended, 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 2 to the
financial statements, Innova Holdings, Inc. incurred losses of $1,426,931 and
$203,829 for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Innova
Holdings, Inc. will require additional working capital to develop its business
until it either (1) achieves a level of revenues adequate to generate sufficient
cash flows from operations; or (2) obtains additional financing necessary to
support its working capital requirements. These conditions raise substantial
doubt about Innova Holdings, Inc.'s ability to continue as a going concern.
Management's plans in regard to this matter are also described in Note 2. The
accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

INNOVA HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Nature of the Company
Innova Holdings, Inc. is a software technology company providing software
solutions to the industrial robotics industry, service robotics industry and the
personal robotics industry. The Company's plan of operations is to identify,
develop and acquire technology that is or will become a market leader and to
create opportunities to leverage its software into value-added applications when
combined with other software solutions offered by the Innova group of companies.
Innova has two wholly-owned subsidiaries, Robotic Workspace Technologies, Inc.
(RWT) and Service Robots, Inc. RWT delivers its software through the sale of
Control Systems and the licensing of its software to end-user companies, system
integrators, manufacturing support providers, software development companies,
and other partners, primarily in the industrial markets. RWT also offers
complete system development and system integration services. The control systems
include the Universal Robot Controller and the Universal Automation Controller.
The Universal Automation Controller is in the final stages of development The
proprietary patents, including two pioneer utility patents issued by the USPTO
and one patent pending, are owned by RWT and cover all applications pertaining
to the interface of a general use computer and the mobility of robots,
regardless of specific applications.
Innova's software solutions benefit developers of new technology in the service
and personal robotic markets. Software available for licensing includes
RobotScript, a universal programming language based on Microsoft's Visual
Basic(R) software (VBScript(R)). The Innova suite of software will be marketed
and sold to the service and personal robot markets through Service Robots, Inc.
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 reported amounts of assets and
liabilities at the date of the balance sheet. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash and all highly liquid financial
instruments with purchased maturities of three months or less.
38
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company's financial instruments consist of cash and debt. The carrying
amount of these financial instruments approximates fair value due either to
length of maturity or interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates
unless otherwise disclosed in these consolidated financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement
exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable and
collectibility is probable.
Product sales are recognized by the Company generally at the time product is
shipped. Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of goods sold.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts - Earnings are charged with a provision for
doubtful accounts based on past experience, current factors, and management's
judgment about collectibility. Accounts deemed uncollectible are applied against
the allowance for doubtful accounts.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Major
renewals and improvements are capitalized; minor replacements, maintenance and
repairs are charged to current operations. Depreciation is computed by applying
the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives which are generally
three to seven years.
Impairment losses are recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when
indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated
to be generated by those assets are less than the assets' carrying amount.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method. Under the asset
and liability method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined
based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets
and liabilities and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws.
A valuation allowance is provided for the amount of deferred tax assets that,
based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized. Additionally,
taxes are calculated and expensed in accordance with applicable tax code.
Basic Loss Per Share
The Company is required to provide basic and dilutive earnings (loss) per common
share information. The basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing
the net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding.
39
Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss
applicable to common stockholders, adjusted on an "as if converted" basis, by
the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus potential dilutive
securities. For the periods ended December 2003 and 2004, potential dilutive
securities had an anti-dilutive effect and were not included in the calculation
of diluted net loss per common share.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
interpretation No. 46 ("FIN 46") "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities."
Until this interpretation, a company generally included another entity in its
consolidated financial statements only if it controlled the entity through
voting interests. FIN 46 requires a variable interest entity, as defined, to be
consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk
of loss from the variable interest entity's activities or entitled to receive a
majority of the entity's residual returns. Certain provisions of FIN 46 became
effective during the quarter ended March 31, 2004, the adoption of which did not
have a material impact on the financial position, cash flows or results of
operations of the Company.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004) "Share-Based
Payment" ("SFAS No. 123R"). SFAS No. 123R addresses all forms of share-based
payment ("SBP") awards, including shares issued under certain employee stock
purchase plans, stock options, restricted stock and stock appreciation rights.
SFAS No. 123R will require the Company to expense SBP awards with compensation
cost for SBP transactions measured at fair value. The FASB originally stated a
preference for a lattice model because it believed that a lattice model more
fully captures the unique characteristics of employee stock options in the
estimate of fair value, as compared to the Black-Scholes model which the Company
currently uses for its footnote disclosure. The FASB decided to remove its
explicit preference for a lattice model and not require a particular valuation
methodology. SFAS No. 123R requires us to adopt the new accounting provisions
beginning in our third quarter of 2005. Although the Company is in the process
of evaluating the impact of applying the various provisions of SFAS No. 123R, we
expect that this statement will have a material impact on our consolidated
results of operations.
In April 2004, the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") issued Statement No.
03-06 "Participating Securities and the Two-Class Method Under FASB Statement
No. 128, Earnings Per Share" ("EITF 03-06"). EITF 03-06 addresses a number of
questions regarding the computation of earnings per share by companies that have
issued securities other than common stock that contractually entitle the holder
to participate in dividends and earnings of the company when, and if, it
declares dividends on its common stock. The issue also provides further guidance
in applying the two-class method of calculating earnings per share, clarifying
what constitutes a participating security and how to apply the two-class method
of computing earnings per share once it is determined that a security is
participating, including how to allocate undistributed earnings to such a
security. EITF 03-06 became effective during the quarter ended June 30, 2004,
the adoption of which did not have an impact on the calculation of earnings per
share of the Company.
40
In July 2004, the EITF issued a draft abstract for EITF Issue No. 04-08, "The
Effect of Contingently Convertible Debt on Diluted Earnings per Share" ("EITF
04-08"). EITF 04-08 reflects the Task Force's tentative conclusion that
contingently convertible debt should be included in diluted earnings per share
computations regardless of whether the market price trigger has been met. If
adopted, the consensus reached by the Task Force in this Issue will be effective
for reporting periods ending after December 15, 2004. Prior period earnings per
share amounts presented for comparative purposes would be required to be
restated to conform to this consensus and the Company would be required to
include the shares issuable upon the conversion of the Notes in the diluted
earnings per share computation for all periods during which the Notes are
outstanding.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation plans under Accounting
Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees. The pro forma information below is based on provisions of Statement
of Financial Accounting Standard ("FAS") No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation, as amended by FAS 148, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation-Transition and Disclosure, issued in December 2002.

The fair value of each option granted is estimated on the date of grant using

assumptions used for grants in 2002: no dividend yield and expected volatility
of .001%, risk-free interest rate of 2.50%, and expected lives of 10 years.
There were 1,000,000 options granted in 2003 and 33,962,655 options granted in
2004.

NOTE 2 - FINANCIAL CONDITION AND GOING CONCERN
Innova Holdings, Inc. has incurred losses for the years ended December 31,
2004 and 2003 of $1,426,931 and $203,829, respectively. Because of these
losses, the Company will require additional working capital to develop its
business operations.
Innova Holdings, Inc. intends to raise additional working capital through
private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing. During 2004, Innova
Holdings, Inc. raised approximately $377,000 from the sale of preferred stock,
$15,000 from the sale of convertible notes which were subsequently converted
into common stock, and $165,000 from debt which was used to pay down a bank line
of credit.
There are no assurances that Innova Holdings, Inc. will be able to either (1)
achieve a level of revenues adequate to generate sufficient cash flow from
operations; or (2) obtain additional financing through either private
placements, public offerings and/or bank financing necessary to support Innova
Holdings, Inc.'s working capital requirements. To the extent that funds
generated from operations and any private placements, public offerings and/or
bank financing are insufficient, Innova Holdings, Inc. will have to raise
additional working capital. No assurance can be given that additional financing
will be available, or if available, will be on terms acceptable to Innova
Holdings, Inc.
These conditions raise substantial doubt about Innova Holdings, Inc.'s ability
to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any
adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying
amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary
should Innova Holdings, Inc. be unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 3 - REVERSE MERGER
On August 25, 2004, Innova Holdings, Inc., (previously Hy-Tech Technology, Inc.)
issued 280,000,000 shares of common stock for 100% of the outstanding stock of
Robotic Workspace Technology, Inc ("RWT"). For financial reporting purposes this
transaction was treated as an acquisition of Innova and a recapitalization of
RWT using the purchase method of accounting. RWT's historical financial
statements replace Innova's in the accompanying financial statements. As part of
this merger, Innova assumed $230,000 of notes payable and $125,000 of redeemable
Series A Preferred Stock which has a mandatory redemption provision. In
addition, the merger agreement requires Innova to issue 37,885,033 shares of
Innova's common stock to its previous management and business advisor for
services rendered up through the merger date; Innova has recorded an accrued
liability for these shares in the amount of $378,850.
The 280,000,000 shares of Innova's common stock issued to RWT shareholders were
comprised of the following:
Shares issued to shareholders as of December 31, 2003 192,645,050
Shares issued to shareholders for conversion of notes payable 61,820,488
Shares issued to shareholders for services rendered 25,534,462
-----------
Total shares issued in reverse merger 280,000,000
===========
Innova sold its wholly owned subsidiary and all of its operations in connection
with the acquisition of RWT. As part of the agreement, the Company agreed to
indemnify the directors of the Company from certain liabilities that were in
existence on the date of closing of the sale, which management believes may
apply to a maximum of approximately $500,000 of debt. If the Company issues
shares of its common stock to settle any of this debt, it shall issue an equal
number of common shares to the former RWT shareholders, in proportion to their

NOTE 4 - CAPITAL STOCK
Effective July 29, 2004, the Company changed its name to Innova Holdings, Inc.
from Hy-Tech Technology Group, Inc. The Company's trading symbol changed to
"IVHG." Simultaneously with the name change, the Company increased its
authorized capitalization from 101,000,000 shares, consisting of 100,000,000
shares of common stock, $.001 par value and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock,
$.001 par value to 910,000,000 shares authorized, consisting of 900,000,000
shares of common stock, $.001 par value and 10,000,000 shares of preferred
stock, $.001 par value.
On June 23, 2004, the Company entered into a private placement and sold 125,000
shares of Series A Preferred Stock for $125,000 with the holders of the
Company's Convertible Debentures. Each share of the Series A Preferred Stock (i)
pays a dividend of 5%, payable at the discretion of the Company in cash or
common stock, (ii) is convertible into the number of shares of common stock
equal to $1.00 divided by a conversion price equal to the lesser of 75% of the
average closing bid price of the Company's common stock over the twenty trading
days preceding conversion or $0.005, (iii) has a liquidation preference of $1.00
per share, (iv) must be redeemed by the Company five years after issuance at
$1.00 per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends, (v) may be redeemed by the
Company at any time for $1.30 per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends and
(vi) has no voting rights except when mandated by Delaware law.
In the event that the Company had not completed the merger with RWT and RWT had
not raised $500,000 in new capital by August 27, 2004, then each of the holders
of the Series A Preferred Stock could elect to convert their shares into (a) a
demand note payable by the Company, in the principal amount equal to the
purchase price of the Series A Preferred Stock plus accrued and unpaid
dividends, with interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) until paid in full and
(b) warrants to purchase 2,500,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an
exercise price of $.005 per share, with a term of two (2) years from the date of
issuance, and standard anti-dilution provisions regarding stock splits,
recapitalizations and mergers, for each $25,000 of Series A Preferred Stock
purchased. Since RWT had not raised $500,000 by August 27, 2004 the holders of
the Series A Preferred Stock could have elected to convert their shares into the
demand note but none of the holders elected to do so.
In September 2004, the Company authorized $525,000 of Series B Preferred Stock,
convertible into the Company's common stock at the lesser of $.005 per share or
75% of the average closing bid prices over the 20 trading days immediately
preceding the date of conversion. At December 31, 2004, approximately $377,000
of the Series B Preferred Stock had been sold; none of the Series B Preferred
Stock has been converted into common stock.

No compensation cost has been recognized for grants under the stock option plans
since all grants pursuant to these plans have been made at the current estimated
fair values of the Company's common stock at the grant date. There were
33,962,655 options issued for the year ended December 31, 2004. There were
1,000,000 options issued for the year ended December 31, 2003.

assumptions used for grants in fiscal 2004: zero dividend yield, expected
volatility of 80%, risk-free interest rate of 2.75% and expected lives of 10
years.
The options granted have a weighted average exercise price of $.008 per share
and vest over three years. The maximum term of the options is ten years.

time as the Fifth Third Bank line of credit is fully paid, including principal
and accrued interest, and is due upon demand. In January 2005, the Fifth Third
Bank line of credit was paid off.
In February 2003 the Company issued $230,000 of notes payable, the terms of
which were subsequently modified in July 2003. The notes earn interest at 8%
unless they are in default, in which case they earn interest at 15%; the notes

NOTE 8 - INCOME TAXES
The Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Number 109 (SFAS
109), "Accounting for Income Taxes." Deferred income taxes reflect the net
effect of (a) temporary difference between carrying amounts of assets and
liabilities for financial purposes and the amounts used for income tax reporting
purposes, and (b) net operating loss carryforwards. No net provision for
refundable Federal income tax has been made in the accompanying statement of
loss because no recoverable taxes were paid previously. Similarly, no deferred
tax asset attributable to the net operating loss carryforward has been
recognized, as it is not deemed likely to be realized.
The provision for refundable Federal income tax consists of the following:
December 31, 2004
-----------------
Refundable Federal income tax attributable to:
Current Operations $ 480,000
Less, Change in valuation allowance (480,000)
----------
Net refundable amount $ -
==========
The cumulative tax effect at the expected rate of 34% of significant items
comprising our net deferred tax amount is as follows:
December 31, 2004
-----------------
Deferred tax asset attributable to:
Net operating loss carryover $2,000,000
Less, Change in valuation allowance (2,000,000)
----------
Net deferred tax asset $ -
==========
At December 31, 2004, we had an unused net operating loss carryover
approximating $9,500,000 that is available to offset future taxable income; it
expires beginning in 2020.
