ITEM 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANT'S REPORT
Klever Marketing, Inc.
We have reviewed the accompanying balance sheets of Klever Marketing,
Inc. as of June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, and the related statements of
operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, and cash
flows for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.
We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim
financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to
financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and
accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is
the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statement taken as a whole.
Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that
should be made to the accompanying financial statements for them to be in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002 AND 2001
NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN
This summary of accounting policies for Klever Marketing, Inc. is
presented to assist in understanding the Company's financial statements. The
accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles and have
been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.
The unaudited financial statements as of June 30, 2002 and for the six
months then ended reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (which
include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to fairly state the
financial position and results of operations for the six months. Operating
results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results which
can be expected for full years.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the basis of
accounting principles applicable to a "going concern", which assume that the
Company will continue in operation for at least one year and will be able to
realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of
operations.
Several conditions and events cast doubt about the Company's ability to
continue as a "going concern". The Company has incurred net losses of
approximately $414,470 for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and net losses of
approximately $1,342,997 for the six months ended June 30, 2001, has a liquidity
problem, and requires additional financing in order to finance its business
activities on an ongoing basis. The Company is actively pursuing alternative
financing and has had discussions with various third parties, although no firm
commitments have been obtained.
The Company's future capital requirements will depend on numerous
factors including, but not limited to, continued progress in developing its
products, and market penetration.
These financial statements do not reflect adjustments that would be
necessary if the Company were unable to continue as a "going concern". While
management believes that the actions already taken or planned, will mitigate the
adverse conditions and events which raise doubt about the validity of the "going
concern" assumption used in preparing these financial statements, there can be
no assurance that these actions will be successful.
If the Company were unable to continue as a "going concern", then
substantial adjustments would be necessary to the carrying values of assets, the
reported amounts of its liabilities, the reported revenues and expenses, and the
balance sheet classifications used.

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN (continued)
-----------------------------------------------------------
Organization and Basis of Presentation
The Company was organized under the laws of the State of Delaware in
December 1989. The Company was in the Development stage from 1989 to 1991. The
Company was an operating company from 1992 to December 8, 1993 when it filed
petitions for relief under Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The Company was inactive until
July 5, 1996 when the Company merged with Klever Kart, Inc. in a reverse merger
and changed its name to Klever Marketing, Inc. The company was in the
development stage until June 30, 1998.
Nature of Business
The Company was formed for the purpose of creating a vehicle to obtain
capital, to file and acquire patents, to seek out, investigate, develop,
manufacture and market electronic in-store advertising, directory and coupon
services which have potential for profit. The Company is currently in the
process of the commercialization of the patented process it has acquired.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This summary of accounting policies for Klever Marketing, Inc. is
presented to assist in understanding the Company's financial statements. The
accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles and have
been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.
Cash Equivalents
For the purpose of reporting cash flows, the Company considers all
highly liquid debt instruments purchased with maturity of three months or less
to be cash equivalents to the extent the funds are not being held for investment
purposes.
Pervasiveness of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company has no significant off-balance-sheet concentrations of
credit risk such as foreign exchange contracts, options contracts or other
foreign hedging arrangements.
Fixed Assets
Fixed assets are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are
computed using the straight- line method over the estimated economic useful
lives of the related assets as follows:
Computer equipment 3 years
Office furniture and fixtures 5-10 years
Upon sale or other disposition of property and equipment, the cost and
related accumulated depreciation or amortization are removed from the accounts
and any gain or loss is included in the determination of income or loss.
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as
incurred. Major overhauls and betterments are capitalized and depreciated over
their estimated economic useful lives.
Intangibles
Intangibles associated with certain technology agreements are amortized
over 10 -14 years.
Other Current Assets
During 2000, the Company purchased supplies of batteries and parts
related to research and development of the Klever-Kart System. These supplies
are carried at fair market value on the balance sheet. Due to technological
changes, these supplies have become obsolete. The parts supplies were sold in
January 2001. The batteries were written-off and expensed during 2001.
NOTE 3 - INCOME TAXES
The Company has accumulated tax losses estimated at $15,000,000 expiring
in years 2007 through 2022. Current tax laws limit the amount of loss available
to be offset against future taxable income when a substantial change in
ownership occurs. The amount of net operating loss carryforward available to
offset future taxable income may be limited if there is a substantial change in
ownership.

NOTE 5 - RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Research and development of the Klever-Kart System began with the sole
purpose of reducing thefts of shopping carts. A voice-activated alarm system was
envisioned. As time and technology progressed, the present embodiment of the
Klever-Kart System evolved into a "product specific" point-of-purchase
advertising system consisting of an easily readable electronic display that
attaches to any shopping cart, a shelf mounted message sending unit that
automatically sends featured products' ad-message to the display and a host
computer using proprietary software.
During the three months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, the Company
expended $0 and $155,053, respectively for research and development of the
technology involved with its patents.
NOTE 6- RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

NOTE 9 - CONTINGENCIES
On September 18, 2001, a Complaint was filed in Superior Court of the
State of California, County of San Francisco, by eiKart, L.L.C. ("eiKart")
against the Company. The Complaint arises out of a written agreement between the
Company and eiKart dated May 11, 2001. Pursuant to the agreement, eiKart was to
pursue certain financing sources for the Company. The Complaint also alleges
that eiKart was requested by and performed for the Company certain additional
financing consulting services. The Complaint also claims that the Company
defrauded eiKart by stating that it was seeking interim financing when in
reality, the Company was not seeking financing, but trying to "go private" and
that the Company defrauded eiKart by not executing an amendment to the written
agreement. eiKart seeks payment in the form of stock options and cash as
required pursuant to said written agreement as if all benchmarks were satisfied,
payment for the fair value of financing services rendered (alleged to be in
excess of $300,000) and recovery of damages suffered as a result of the
fraudulent misrepresentations in the amount to be proven at trial. The Company
disputes all claims as invalid and intends to vigorously defend this action.
Management believes that the Company will prevail in this matter, therefore no
provision has been made in the financial statements related to this claim.
NOTE 10 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
During August 2001, the Company issued 507,048 shares of common stock as
a prepayment for services to be rendered over the next twelve months. This
resulted in a prepaid asset of $195,213 and expenses of $139,438. Approximately
40% of the agreement was completed. On August 15, 2002, the Company received a
refund of 304,229 shares of stock for services that were never rendered.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION.
GENERAL - This discussion should be read in conjunction with Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the
Company's annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2001.
PLAN OF OPERATIONS - The Company's goal is to become the leading supplier of
in-store promotions and advertising technology for grocery and other
mass-merchandise retailers. To accomplish this goal, the Company intends to
expand its product offerings to include: (i) electronic couponing (2003) to
eliminate the need for and reduce the costs related to paper coupons (including
fraud, mis- redemption and mal-redemption); (ii) the establishment of targeted
Internet-type content to enhance customer loyalty; (iii) capturing
Point-of-Selection data in the aggregate for providing data warehousing and
mining services to various interested parties; (iv) certain other in-store
services.
20
Additionally, the Company intends to expand the Klever-Kart System's application
to other retailers including superstores, discount stores, toy stores and
warehouse stores. Following is a description of the Company's growth strategy,
which is dependent upon the Company securing additional financing:
SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT AND PRODUCT MOVEMENT TEST.
The product movement test was completed during third quarter 1997. The test took
place in a Smith's Food and Drug store located in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Information Resources, Inc., an independent company, audited the results of the
test which concluded an average 46.8% incremental product movement.
COST REDUCTION & ENHANCEMENT.
In January 1998, the Company commenced development of the Phase II functional
specification that encompassed cost reductions and system enhancements.
Improvements on the Klever-Kart(R) system included: a significantly smaller and
more sleek design in the appearance and size of the display unit; smaller
trigger units with improved sensitivity, more durable plastics, and improved
sound fidelity. Upon completion of the Phase II functional specification, the
Company began phase II engineering design and development. In September 1999,
the Company began parts procurement and other manufacturing processes.
In early third quarter 2000, the Company installed stores for testing of the
Phase II system. In November 2000, the Company commenced engineering design and
development of Phase III. Phase III focused on improved consumer ergonomics,
enhanced user interface, modular design, improved graphics, and longer battery
life. The Company intends to complete this phase and proceed with a roll out
into stores.
FUTURE BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT
1. TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATION AND EXPANDED PRODUCT OFFERINGS
The Company is in the process of developing various product enhancements for its
retail grocer and consumer goods manufacturer clients and expects to offer these
enhancements commencing in 2003. These product enhancements include electronic
coupons and the Klever-Kard* enhancement to existing frequent shopping programs
("Klever-Kard Program").
ELECTRONIC COUPONING
The Company expects to complete the development and testing of the electronic
coupon feature of the Klever-Kart System in 2003. The Company expects the
electronic coupon feature to be well received by the consumer goods companies,
retailers and consumers because it (i) reduces handling costs for both the
retailer and consumer goods manufacturer; (ii) virtually eliminates mis-
redemption, mal-redemption and fraud associated with paper coupons; and (iii)
makes coupon use convenient for the consumer. In addition, this feature is
expected to permit the consumer goods
21
manufacturer or retailer to electronically alter the face value of coupon to
rapidly customize it for competitive situations, seasonal trends or to alter its
value or expiration based upon predetermined redemption rates.
Industry sources indicate the number of coupons redeemed annually in the U.S. is
approximately 5.3 billion with coupon fraud accounting for more than $300
million in losses to the consumer goods companies. The Company believes the
electronic coupon feature of the Klever-Kart System will be superior to
competitor product offerings due to the virtual elimination of mis-redemption,
mal- redemption and fraud associated with paper coupons.
KLEVER-KARD PROGRAM
The Company expects to introduce the Klever-Kard Program in 2003. The
Klever-Kard Program is a frequent shopper program enhancement that is expected
to permit consumer goods companies and retailers to target specific promotional
campaigns to individual consumers based upon demographics and personal buying
history. Further development of the Klever-Kard Program is expected to include
targeted Internet tie-ins, direct mail, rebates, download of shopping
lists/recipes, product sampling and electronic contest entry. Information from
individual consumer card usage is expected to produce individual customer
profiles and track specific marketing and purchasing trends. Using this
precedent in conjunction with the Klever-Kart System, the Company expects to
sell customer shopping behavior information to consumer research companies,
consumer goods companies and retailers.
2. EXPAND RETAILER BASE
The Company expects to expand the Klever-Kart System's orientation to other
store formats including superstores, discount stores, toy stores, do-it-yourself
(DIY) stores and warehouse stores. The Company plans to install the Klever-Kart
System in a pilot store at two or more key retailers across the U.S. The Company
believes that the existing Klever-Kart System can be easily adapted to meet the
requirements of retailers operating in a variety of environments.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES - The Company requires working capital
principally to fund its current research and development and operating expenses
for which the Company has relied on short-term borrowings and the issuance of
restricted common stock. There are no formal commitments from banks or other
lending sources for lines of credit or similar short-term borrowings, but the
Company has been able to borrow limited additional working capital that has been
required. From time to time in the past, required short-term borrowings have
been obtained from a principal shareholder or other related entities.
Cash flows. Operating activities used cash of $53,000 and $443,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
Investing activities used cash of $12,000 and $21,000 for the three months ended
June 30, 2002 and 2001. Investing activities primarily represent purchases of
patents relating to the electronic in-store advertising, directory and coupon
devices, and purchases of office equipment.
22
Financing activities provided cash of $67,000 and $201,000 for the three months
ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Financing activities primarily
represent sales of the Company's common and preferred stock, and loans from
shareholders.
The Company will be required to supplement its available cash and other liquid
assets with proceeds from borrowing, the sale of additional securities, or other
sources. There can be no assurance that any such required additional funding
will be available or, if available, that it can be obtained on terms favorable
to the Company.
