     The Company anticipates that it will report net income for the year

     as compared to net income of approximately $1,040,576 or $.17 per
     share for the year ended December 31, 2000.  The reduced net income
     is primarily a result of the fact that the Company recorded a $1.3
     million gain on the sale of the Company's Tustin operations in
     April 2000.
