De-Listing of Warrants:
- -----------------------
The Company consented to the de-listing of its warrants from the Nasdaq Stock
Market effective as of August 20, 1996. Tapistron consented to Nasdaq's
de-listing of its warrants due to the lack of any significant trading activity
in the warrants and because there are no market makers for the warrants as
required by Nasdaq Rules.
De-Listing of Stock
- -------------------
Nasdaq deleted the Company from the Nasdaq Stock Market effective August 29,
1996, as a result of the Company's non-compliance with the quantitative
maintenance criteria for continued listing on the Nasdaq Stock Market. The
Company does not intend to contest Nasdaq's decision to delete its stock from
the Nasdaq Stock Market at this time, but may re-apply for listing on Nasdaq in
the future. The Company's stock will continue to be traded as a bulletin board
stock.
