BEIA's goal is to promote policy awareness, quality education and inquiry and discussion of the ethical implications of research and development projects in the biological sciences.
BEIA invites individuals from all walks of life and viewpoints to become involved and begin by raising serious questions - what the Greeks termed "sober second thoughts" - about the use of science and technology and its unintended consequences.
BEIA supports a skeptical enthusiasm about biotechnological advances - recognizing significant progress but balancing that progress with thoughtful discussion by an informed public.

We may be unsuccessful at marketing BeIA as the software solution of choice for Internet appliances, and developers and manufacturers of Internet appliances and Internet service and content providers may not elect to incorporate BeIA in their products and services.
The revenues from BeIA have not offset the loss of revenues from sales of BeOS and we expect that our revenues and cash flow for the future periods to continue to be negatively impacted.
Since adopting and incorporating BeIA as a software solution generally represents a significant product decision for developers and manufactures of Internet appliances and related systems and hardware, we have experienced a longer sales cycle as we have collaborated with and educated customers and partners on the use and benefits of BeIA.

We all know about the ideas behind this, and we have seen the Web TV, the game consoles, etc. Now all these little companies are trying to get in on the action, which will prove to be fruitless in competition with the big name companies.
The only opening for BeIA is for it to be run on a big name console system.
If Be cannot get a major contract in this sector within six months, they should just give up because by that time the MS X-Box systems will be about ready to come out, and all the other big console companies will have their designs set.

The BeOS operating system has been used primarily by software developers and never made significant inroads in the commercial market; the company has higher hopes for BeIA's ability to penetrate the growing market for Internet appliances.
BeIA will have a small "footprint" (meaning it won't take up a lot of system space), and will be able to access media-rich content on the Web, through software such as RealNetworks Inc.'s RealSystem G2, Macromedia's Flash, and other multimedia and Internet technologies.

Additionally, the Company expects to recognize the amounts of deferred revenue at March 31, 2001, and for which payment was subsequently received, as revenues for BeIA Integration Services in the second quarter of 2001.
Revenues are not directly comparable as they were attributable to shipments of BeOS in 2000 and to royalties received for BeIA in 2001.
Although we started to recognize revenues for BeIA in the first quarter of 2001, our shift to focus primarily on the market for Internet appliances may not result in any increase in our revenues or any improvement in our operations or financial condition and may not offset the loss of revenues from sales of BeOS.
