DAC TECHNOLOGIES GROUP INTERNATIONAL, INC.
SELECTED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
o NATURE OF BUSINESS
DAC Technologies Group International, Inc. (the "Company"), a Florida
corporation, is in the business of developing, manufacturing and marketing
various consumer products, patented and unpatented, which are designed to
provide security for the consumer and their property. In addition, the Company
has developed a wide range of security and non-security products for the home,
automobile and individual. The majority of the Company's products are
manufactured and imported from mainland China and are shipped to the Company's
central warehouse facility in Little Rock, Arkansas. These products, along with
other items manufactured in the United States, are sold primarily to mass
merchants and sporting goods retailers throughout the United States and
international locations.
o ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization and basis of presentation - The Company was incorporated
as a Florida corporation in July 1998 under the name DAC Technologies of
America, Inc. In July 1999, the Company changed its name to DAC Technologies
Group International, Inc.
Unaudited interim financial statements - The accompanying financial
statements of the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 are
unaudited, but, in the opinion of management, reflect the adjustments, all of
which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of
such financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. The significant accounting policies applied to these interim
financial statements are consistent with those applied to the Company's December
31, 2002 audited financial statements included in the Company's Form 10KSB. The
results of operations for an interim period are not necessarily indicative of
the results for a full year.
o EQUITY TRANSACTIONS
During the first quarter of 2003, the Company issued 100 shares of
restricted common stock in connection with a prize drawing conducted at the SHOT
Show, a trade show for the hunting industry. In addition, subsequent to this
reporting period, the Company issued 25,000 shares of restricted stock pursuant
to section 4.2 of the Securities Act of 1933 to CEOcast in exchange for
financial public relations services. This information will be more fully
reported in our next reporting period.
o NOTES PAYABLE
The Company has a loan with a local bank in the principal amount of
$53,138, bearing interest at 8.50%, which matured April 30, 2003. This Note is
now past due, however, the Bank has indicated to the Company that it does not
intend to call the loan. The Company is currently in negotiations for renewal of
this loan.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF PLAN OF OPERATION
The following Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition is
qualified by reference to and should be read in conjunction with our Financial
Statements and the Notes thereto as set forth at the end of this document. We
include the following cautionary statement in this Form 10QSB for any
forward-looking statements made by, or on behalf of, the Company.
Forward-looking statements include statements concerning plans, objectives,
goals, strategies, expectations, future events or performances and underlying
assumptions and other statements which are other than statements of historical
facts. Certain statements contained herein are forward-looking statements and,
accordingly, involve risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results or
outcomes to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking
statements. The Company's expectations, beliefs and projections are expressed in
good faith and are believed by the Company to have a reasonable basis, including
without limitation, Management's examination of historical operating trends,
data contained in the Company's records and other data available from third
parties, but there can be no assurance that management's expectations, beliefs
or projections will result or be achieved or accomplished.
(a) SUMMARY
After posting its first $1,000,000 in quarterly gross sales during the
fourth quarter of 2002, the Company has followed up by reporting a 59% increase
in net sales for the first quarter of 2003 as compared to the first quarter of
2002. In addition, the Company has recorded its fourth consecutive profitable
quarter in the first quarter of 2003.
Significant to this continued sales growth during the first quarter has
been the Company's ability to penetrate the firearm manufacturers market. The
Company has been able to secure gun lock business from several major firearm
manufacturers and believes this portion of its business will continue to grow.
The Company has continued to be active in the research and development
of new security products for sale to our mass merchant, sporting goods and other
customers. Sales of the Company's new "Sportsman Lighter", which began selling
during the fourth quarter of 2002, continues to grow, and accounts for 23% of
the increase in sales over the first quarter of last year. This item will be
added as a permanent item in the sporting goods department of Wal-Mart in the
second quarter of 2003, which should provide continued increases in sales of
this product.
The Company, in the first quarter of this year, has development a new
line of "Gunmaster" gun cleaning kits. These kits will work with virtually every
make and model of firearms. Three of these kits will be added as permanent items
in Wal-Mart during the second quarter of this year as well.

DETAILS
We are in the business of developing, marketing and outsourcing the
manufacture of various consumer products, patented and non-patented, designed to
enhance and provide security for the consumer and for his property. We have
placed particular emphasis on gun safety because it continues to be a prominent
national issue due to the rash of school and workplace violence. In particular,
our products consist of gun locks, trigger locks, security safes, specialty
safes, personal protection devices and items for the health care industry.
A significant portion of our business is with mass market retailers
such as Wal Mart, Walgreens and Kmart. However, initiatives to develop a
nationwide cadre of manufacturer's representatives will allow us to penetrate
the sporting goods market, which consists of thousands of smaller gun shops and
sporting goods stores and distributors. We have also begun selling our products
in many other markets consisting of safe retailers, jewelry stores, truck stops,
alarm companies, RV retailers and computer retailers. We have significantly
increased our sales to firearm manufacturers. Developing these markets and
continuing to focus attention on potential new ones will allow us to reduce our
dependence on our mass merchant customers.
THE COMPANY'S BUSINESS PLAN AND STRATEGY FOR GROWTH FOCUSES ON:
o increased penetration of our existing market
o aggressive targeting and penetration of other markets, i.e. sporting
goods retailers
o diversification of products and services to provide a base for
continued growth
o adoption of new technologies for safety and security products
o adoption of new product lines
o identification and recruitment of effective manufacturer's
representatives to actively market these products on a national and
international basis
o aggressive cost containment
The principal key to increasing the rate of the Company's growth is the
availability of capital to maintain additional inventory, develop or acquire new
products and secure motivated professional employees.
Management believes that continued growth will require the Company to
continually innovate and improve its existing line of products and services to
meet consumer, industry and governmental demands. In addition, we must continue
to develop or acquire new and unique products that will appeal to gun owners.
We have redesigned our website (www.dactec.com). All of our products
are available via e-commerce on this new site.

(b) FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company had net income of $21,435 on net sales revenues of $769,342
for the quarter ended March 31, 2003, as compared to a net loss of $65,513 on
net sales revenues of $483,631 for the same quarter in 2002. The increase in net
sales revenues of $285,711 represents a 59% increase over the first quarter of
2002. This increase was primarily due to the sales of gun locks to firearms
manufacturers and the Company's new Sportsman Lighter, which began selling in
the fourth quarter of 2002.
Operating expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 were $253,053
as compared to $297,215 for the prior year. This decrease of $44,162, or 15%,
was due primarily to the Company's continued efforts to reduce overall expenses.
Payroll related expenses accounted for 41% of this decrease.
Gross profit for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 was $315,596 as
compared to $252,870 for the prior year, an increase of $62,726. Gross margin
percentages decreased form 52% in 2002 to 41% in 2003. The decrease in gross
margin percentages is directly related to the increase in sales of gun locks to
gun manufacturers. This is a highly competitive market, and gross margins are
significantly lower than for sales to the Company's mass merchant and
distributor customers.
Interest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 was $32,451 as
compared to $21,168 for the prior year. This is an increase of $11,283, or 53%.
The Company finances its cash flow needs through a factoring agreement, wherein
it borrows against its accounts receivable. Because of the record sales in the
fourth quarter of 2002, and higher sales during the first quarter of 2003 as
compared to 2002, the Company's borrowings under this factoring agreement during
the first quarter of 2003 averaged $556,341 as compared to $247,695 for the
first quarter of 2002.
The fourth quarter 2002 sales in excess of $1,000,000 as compared to
the first quarter of 2003 sales of $769,342 had a significant impact upon the
Company's balance sheet as well. As of March 31, 2003, the Company's accounts
receivable were $678,591 as compared to $992,105 at December 31, 2002, a
decrease of $313,514. The amount owed to our factor for borrowings against our
accounts receivable was $402,515 at March 31, 2003 as compared to $735,035 at
December 31, 2002 a decrease of $332,520. These decreases are normal and
expected when sales decrease from quarter to quarter.
9
(c) LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our primary source of cash is funds from our operations. We believe
that external sources of liquidity could be obtained in the form of bank loans,
letters of credit, etc. We maintain an account receivable factoring arrangement
in order to insure an immediate cash flow. The factor may also, at its
discretion, advance funds prior to the collection of our accounts. Advances are
payable to the factor on demand. Should our sales revenues significantly
decline, it could affect our short-term liquidity. For the period ending March
31, 2003, we owed our factor approximately $405,515.
(d) TRENDS
Even with the election of a new President and the change in the
Administration, handgun safety remains a major concern, and interest may
continue to increase in the next few years, particularly in light of the
accidental and intentional shootings involving children. The focus is expected
to become more one of gun safety rather than one of attempts to ban guns. Gun
safety issues are expected to be moved from the Federal level to the state
level, while those at the federal level are seemingly becoming more rational
with the approach being taken by the Consumer Products Safety Commission to set
measurable standards of performance for gun locking devices. The Company, with
developed products that address preventive handgun safety, anticipates that it
will be in a position to benefit from this trend-although this, of course,
cannot be guaranteed. We believe that the continued focus on handgun safety, the
use of gun locks by law enforcement agencies, the litigation aimed at gun
manufacturers and corresponding about- face regarding gun safety locks begun by
Smith & Wesson, as well as the gun legislation will hopefully will enhance our
product line revenues.
Moreover, the tragic terrorist attack against the United States on September 11,
2001 caused many Americans to become concerned about their personal security. As
a result, many people are purchasing firearms to maintain for home defense
purposes. While they are purchasing handguns, many are also concerned with the
safe storage of the firearm in the home and want to purchase affordable gun
safes to increase security. As a result, we have seen an increase in sales of
safes.
The State of Maryland has passed legislation to require gun manufacturers to
incorporate safety devices similar to the Company's products into all handguns
sold. The State of California enacted legislation to establish performance
standards for "firearm Safety devices," "lock-boxes," and "safes". These
standards permit an attack on the gun lock or safe with hand tools, such as
hammers, screwdrivers, electric drills, screw and hack saws. This legislation
requires manufacturers to have their products tested by an independent testing
laboratory in order to be listed as an approved device. This testing has
resulted in significant expenditures to the Company. We anticipate that similar
standards will be adopted throughout the United States in the next few years.

PART II
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are the subject of a suit instituted by us against our former
manufacturer Skit International, Ltd. and Uni-Skit Technologies, Inc. The suit,
commenced in August 2000, alleges breach of a manufacturing contract which
required Defendants to manufacture certain of our products within the range of
"competitive pricing," a defined term. We are seeking damages and recission of
165,000 shares of our common stock as part of the compensation paid to the
Defendants. The Defendants have denied the allegations and have counterclaimed
for an outstanding balance of $182,625, for recission of the manufacturing
agreement and for damage to its business reputation. We have denied, and believe
there is no merit to the counterclaim's material allegations. We have replaced
the Defendants as manufacturers of our products. This suit is scheduled to go to
trial in July of 2003.
We instituted suit along with The Collins Family Trust, our affiliate
in which David Collins, our Chairman claims a beneficial interest, and DAC
Technologies of America, Inc., our predecessor, against Larry Legel, a former
Director and former Trustee of The Collins Family Trust. The suit commenced in
March of 2001 and alleged a transfer of 180,000 shares of our common stock for
services which the Defendant did not provide. The suit also alleges that the
Defendant breached an agreement not to sell his shares before certain private
investors had recouped their investment. In October 2002, the Arkansas Court
ordered the transfer rescinded and the stock returned to David Collins. Mr.
Legel filed a notice of appeal of the Court's October Order.
Subsequent to the Arkansas action, Mr. Legel filed a lawsuit against the Company
in August, 2001, alleging failure by the Company and its officers to permit the
sale of his shares of the Company, which were the same shares that were the
subject of the Arkansas action. A Motion to Dismiss was filed and granted. In
February 2003, Mr. Legel filed an amended complaint, alleging that the Company
failed to honor his request to sell the shares. The Company has filed a motion
to dismiss or abate the Amended Complaint due to the decision and pendency of
the Arkansas appeal.
