DEXTERITY SURGICAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
June 30, 1999
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Dexterity
Surgical, Inc. (the "Company") and the Company's 82% ownership interest in
ValQuest Medical, Inc. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions
have been eliminated in consolidation. The consolidated financial statements
included herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to
the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. However,
all adjustments have been made which are, in the opinion of the Company,
necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the periods
covered. In addition, all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although
the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information
presented not misleading. It is recommended that these consolidated financial
statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes
thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998, included in the Company's
Form 10-KSB. Certain reclassifications have been made in the prior period
financial statements to conform with the current period presentation.
The accounts and operations of Dexterity Incorporated have been included in the
consolidated financial statements from March 18, 1999. Prior to the March 18,
1999 merger with Dexterity Incorporated, the Company's 19.2% investment in
Dexterity Incorporated had been accounted for using the cost method. The
resulting change in ownership qualifies as a change in reporting entity. See
"Note 5 - Merger" for a discussion of the effect on the consolidated financial
statements.
The Company has obtained a waiver for certain affirmative financial covenant
requirements associated with its convertible debentures through September 30,
1999 at which time the Company believes it will be in compliance with such
covenants. If the Company is unable to comply with such requirements in the
future, the Company could be found to be in technical default under the
Debentures and the holder would have the right to demand immediate repayment of
the entire amount outstanding. The Company believes that sufficient resources
would be available to fund such amounts in the event of such acceleration. The
Company has also taken steps to plan for long term profitability by the
acquisition of Dexterity Incorporated (see "Note 5 - Merger") and the closing of
two unprofitable divisions.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Revenue Recognition
Product sales are recognized upon the shipment of products to customers.
Commissions earned are recognized when customer orders are placed with product
suppliers. Customers may return products in the event of product defect or
inaccurate order fulfillment. The Company maintains an allowance for sales
returns based upon an historical analysis of returns.
Licensed Technology Rights
Licensed technology rights are amortized upon the commencement of commercial
sales of the underlying products. The carrying value of the licensed technology
is periodically reviewed by the Company with impairments being recognized when
the expected future operating cash flows derived from such licensed technology
rights is less than their carrying value. Except for the royalty obligation
component, licensed technology rights acquired in conjunction with the merger
with Dexterity Incorporated (see "Note 5 - Merger) are amortized over a 17 year
period. The royalty obligation component of licensed technology rights is
amortized over the royalty agreement period of 7 years.

NOTE 3 - BASIC AND DILUTED EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
Basic earnings (loss) per share ("EPS") is computed by dividing net income
(loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding
during the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur
if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or
converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that
then shared in the earnings of the Company. As the Company had a net loss for
the three months and the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1999, Diluted EPS
equals Basic EPS as potentially dilutive common stock equivalents are
antidilutive in loss periods.
NOTE 4 - INVENTORIES
Inventories are summarized as follows:

Raw materials $ 29,250 $ 34,322

============ ============
NOTE 5 - MERGER
On March 18, 1999, the Company's stockholders approved the Merger between the
Company and Dexterity Incorporated ("DI"). Contemporaneously with the Merger,
the Company changed its name to Dexterity Surgical, Inc. The Company accounted
for this business combination as a purchase. The consideration given to the
selling stockholders by the Company for the DI stock it did not previously own
consisted of an aggregate of:
(a) $1.5 million cash.
(b) Three million shares of the Company's common stock valued at
approximately $5.6 million.
(c) Warrants to purchase 1.5 million shares of the Company's common
stock valued at approximately $2.3 million.
(d) A one year, $1 million promissory note bearing interest at 12
percent.
(e) A royalty to be paid to the selling stockholders in an amount equal
to 15 percent of all sales of DI products for a period of seven
years. The royalty is subject to minimum payments which aggregate
approximately $9.7 million over the seven-year royalty period,
with a net present value, discounted at 12 percent, of
approximately $5.95 million.
The financial statements have been retroactively restated to account for the
Company's original investment in Dexterity Incorporated under the equity method
as appropriate for a step-acquisition. This investment was previously accounted
for using the cost method. The result of this restatement was a decrease in the
"Investments, at cost" and an increase in "Accumulated deficit" at December 31,
1998 of approximately $140,000, as well as an increase in net loss for the six
months ended June 30, 1998 and 1999 of $70,000 and $30,000 respectively. The
effect of the restatement on earnings per share for the three months ended June
30, 1998 was a decrease in basic and diluted earnings per share of less than
$.01 there was no effect on earnings per share for the three months ended June
30, 1999.
The results of operation for the six months ended June 30, 1999, include the
operations of Dexterity Incorporated from March 18, 1999. Unaudited pro forma
consolidated results of operations, assuming the Dexterity Incorporated merger
had occurred at January 1, 1998, would have been as follows:
Pro Forma (Unaudited) Pro Forma (Unaudited)
Three months ended June 30, Six months ended June 30
1998 1999 1998 1999
------------ ------------ ------------ ------------
Net sales $ 4,664,946 $ 5,362,148 $ 9,056,031 $ 11,308,424

Basic and diluted loss per share of
common stock $ (.09) $ (.13) $ (.23) $ (.23)

The foregoing pro forma information is presented in response to applicable
accounting rules relating to business acquisitions and is not necessarily
indicative of the actual results that would have been achieved had the Dexterity
Incorporated merger occurred at the beginning of 1998, nor is it indicative of
future results of operations.
NOTE 6 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company is a party to claims and legal proceedings arising in the ordinary
course of business. The Company believes it is unlikely that the final outcome
of any of the claims or proceedings to which the Company is a party would have a
material adverse effect on the Company's financial statements; however, due to
the inherent uncertainty of litigation, the range of possible loss, if any,
cannot be estimated with a reasonable degree of precision and there can be no
assurance that the resolution of any particular claim or proceeding would not
have an adverse effect on the Company's results of operations for the interim
period in which such resolution occurred.
NOTE 7 - OBLIGATIONS
The Company had the following current and long-term obligations:
December 31, June 30,
1998 1999
-------------- --------------
Unsecured note payable for a distributorship agreement, bearing interest
at 6 percent, principal and interest due monthly, maturing in 1999 $ 100,000 $ -0-
Secured note payable for a vehicle loan, bearing interest at 9 percent,
principal and interest due monthly, maturing in 1999 16,310 -0-
Unsecured note payable related to Dexterity acquisition, bearing interest
at 12 percent, interest due quarterly, maturing in 2000 -- 1,000,000
Revolving line of credit secured by accounts receivable, inventories and
intangible assets bearing interest at prime rate plus 1.5 percent. The
line of credit has a maximum of $5 million and expires in 2003. -- 775,022
Royalty obligation related to Dexterity acquisition, subject to annual minimum
payments over a period of seven years discounted at 12%. The minimum payments
aggregate approximately $9.7 million over the seven year
royalty period. -- 6,034,419
Convertible Debentures, see Note 8 3,000,000 3,000,000

Total obligations 3,116,310 10,809,441

Less - Current portion 116,310 2,330,180

Long-term obligations $ 3,000,000 $ 8,479,261
============== ==============
The carrying amount of the Company's debt approximates the fair value of the
debt. This determination is based on management's estimate of the fair value at
which such instruments could be sold or obtained in a third-party transaction.
NOTE 8 - CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES
In December 1997, the Company sold 250,000 shares of Common Stock to two
affiliates of Renaissance Capital Group, Inc. (collectively, such affiliates
referred to herein as "Renaissance") in a private placement for aggregate
proceeds of $1,000,000 and placed $3,000,000 in 9 % Convertible Debentures (the
"Debentures") with Renaissance. The proceeds from the private
- 8 -
9
placement were used to repay the Company's line of credit with another financial
institution, to make an equity investment in Dexterity, and for working capital
purposes. The Debentures are secured by substantially all of the assets of the
Company and require monthly payments of interest beginning in February 1998 and,
unless sooner paid, redeemed or converted, require monthly principal payments
commencing in December 2000 of $10 per $1000 of the then remaining principal
amount. The remaining principal balance will mature in December 2004. The
Debentures require the Company to comply with the following financial covenants
(all as defined in the Debentures): (i) a Debt to Net Worth Ratio of no greater
than .85:1; (ii) an Interest Coverage Ratio of at least 5:1; (iii) a Debt
Coverage Ratio of at least .10:1; and (iv) a Current Ratio of at least 1.8:1.
The Company is currently not in compliance with and has obtained a waiver from
Renaissance to suspend the Debt to Net Worth Ratio, Interest Coverage Ratio,
Debt Coverage Ratio, and Current Ratio covenants through September 30, 1999 at
which time the Company believes it will be in compliance with such covenants.
However, if the Company is unable to comply with such covenants in the future,
the Company could be found to be in technical default under the Debentures and
holders thereof would have the right to demand the immediate repayment of the
entire amount outstanding. The Company believes that sufficient resources would
be available to fund such amounts in the event of such acceleration. The holders
of the Debentures have the option to convert at any time all or a portion of the
Debentures into shares of Common Stock at a price of $1.60 per share of Common
Stock for a maximum of 1,875,000 shares of Common Stock.
NOTE 9 - PREFERRED STOCK PLACEMENTS
In January 1999, pursuant to the terms of a private placement, the Company
issued to an officer and director of the Company 25 shares of 8% Series B
Cumulative Preferred Stock, $.001 par value ("Series B Preferred"), for proceeds
of $25,000.
In November 1998, pursuant to the terms of a private placement, the Company
issued to Renaissance 1,000 shares of Series B Preferred for aggregate proceeds
of $1,000,000. The Company used such proceeds for working capital. Annual
dividends on the Series B Preferred are cumulative at a rate of $80 per share.
The Series B Preferred is convertible into shares of Common Stock at a
conversion price of $1.60 per share, for an aggregate of 640,625 shares of
Common Stock.
In August 1998, pursuant to the terms of a private placement, the Company issued
to Renaissance and two individuals, including one who is an officer and director
of the Company, an aggregate of 1,170 shares of 8% Series A Cumulative Preferred
Stock, $.001 par value ("Series A Preferred"), for aggregate proceeds of
$1,170,000. The Company used such proceeds for working capital. Annual dividends
on the Series A Preferred are cumulative at a rate of $80 per share. The Series
A Preferred is convertible into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of
$1.60 per share, for an aggregate of 731,250 shares of Common Stock.

management. When used in this report, the words "anticipate," "believe,"
"estimate," "expect" and "intend" and words or phrases of similar import, as
they relate to the Company or Company's management are intended to identify
forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect the current view of the
Company with respect to future events and are subject to certain risks,
uncertainties and assumptions related to certain factors including, without
limitation, the Company's ability to manufacture, market and distribute safe and
effective products on a cost-effective basis, demand for and acceptance of the

Company's annual, quarterly and other reports filed with the SEC (collectively,
"cautionary statements"). Although the Company believes that its expectations
are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be
correct. Based upon changing conditions, should any one or more of these risks
or uncertainties materialize, or should any underlying assumptions prove
incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described herein as
anticipated, believed, estimated, expected or intended. All subsequent written
and oral forward-looking statements attributable to the Company or persons
acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the applicable
cautionary statements. The Company does not intend to update these
forward-looking statements.
OVERVIEW
From inception through December 31, 1995, the Company was a development
stage enterprise whose efforts and resources were devoted primarily to research
and development activities related to its initial products. During this
development stage, the Company generated minimal operating revenues and, thus,
was unprofitable. In 1996, the Company decided to reduce continuing investment
in research and development related to such technologies and to focus its
efforts on acquiring and distributing minimally invasive surgical devices.
Accordingly, during the last three fiscal years, the Company has continued to
decrease its engagement in Company sponsored research and development, and in
fiscal 1998, eliminated virtually all expenditures in this area. However, due to
the Dexterity Merger (defined below) the Company intends to invest moderate
amounts in research and development in 1999. As of June 30, 1999, the Company
had an accumulated deficit of approximately $21,090,000. There can be no
assurance that the Company will not continue to incur losses, that the Company
will be able to raise cash as necessary to fund operations or that the Company
will ever achieve profitability.
The Company's future operating results will depend on many factors,
including the Company's ability to manufacture, market and distribute safe and
effective products on a cost-effective basis, demand for and acceptance of the
Company's products, the level of competition in the marketplace, the ability of
the Company to create, obtain and maintain scientifically advanced technology,
the ability of the Company's customers to be reimbursed by third-party payors
and other factors described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998.
In January 1998, the Company acquired approximately 20% of the common
stock of Dexterity Incorporated ("Dexterity"), a business development subsidiary
of Teleflex, Inc. In March 1999, the Company acquired the remaining common stock
of Dexterity by merging Dexterity into the Company (the "Merger") pursuant to a
Plan of Merger and Acquisition agreement between the Company and Dexterity (the
"Dexterity Agreement"). Simultaneous with the effectiveness of the Merger, the
Company changed its name to Dexterity Surgical, Inc. Under the terms of the
Dexterity Agreement, which was approved by the stockholders of the Company at a
special meeting held March 18, 1999, the Dexterity stockholders, other than the
Company, received an aggregate of:
o $1,500,000;
o 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock;
- 10 -
11
o warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,500,000 shares of Common
Stock, at an exercise price per share of $2.00;
o promissory notes in the aggregate amount of $1,000,000; and
o a royalty for seven years in an amount equal to 15% of all sales of
Dexterity products (the "Royalty") pursuant to a royalty agreement
(the "Royalty Agreement") among the Company and the Dexterity
stockholders, other than the Company. The Royalty is subject to
minimum annual payments which aggregate, over the seven years of the
Royalty Agreement, approximately $9,695,095.
The Company determined the fair market value of the above consideration to be
approximately $16,000,000. The Company launched distribution of Dexterity's
primary products, the Dexterity(R) Pneumo Sleeve and Dexterity(R) Protractor, in
March 1998. The transaction was accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At June 30, 1999, the Company had current assets of $7,888,000 and
current liabilities of $8,368,000 resulting in a working capital deficit of
$480,000. This compares to a working capital position of $3,609,000 at December
31, 1998. The decline in working capital is primarily due to the current portion
of the royalty obligation incurred relative to the Company's merger with
Dexterity.
In April 1999, the Company acquired a new maximum $5,000,000 revolving
line of credit from a financial institution whereby all inventories, accounts
receivable and intangibles of the Company are pledged as collateral. At June 30,
1999, the outstanding balance due on such line of credit was $775,000 and an
additional $2,385,000 was available under the current borrowing base.
In January 1999, pursuant to the terms of a private placement, the
Company issued to an officer and director of the Company 25 shares of 8% Series
B Cumulative Preferred Stock $.001 par value ("Series B Preferred"), for
proceeds of $25,000. Such shares of Series B Preferred are convertible into
15,625 shares of Common Stock.
In November 1998, pursuant to the terms of a private placement, the
Company issued to two affiliates of Renaissance Capital Group, Inc.
(collectively, such affiliates referred to herein as "Renaissance") 1,000 shares
of Series B Preferred for aggregate proceeds of $1,000,000. The Company used
such proceeds for working capital. Annual dividends on the Series B Preferred
are cumulative at a rate of $80 per share. Such shares of Series B Preferred are
convertible into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of $1.60 per
share, for an aggregate of 625,000 shares of Common Stock.
In August 1998, pursuant to the terms of a private placement, the
Company issued to Renaissance and two individuals, including one who is an
officer and director of the Company, an aggregate of 1,170 shares of 8% Series A
Cumulative Preferred Stock, $.001 par value ("Series A Preferred"), for
aggregate proceeds of $1,170,000. The Company used such proceeds for working
capital. Annual dividends on the Series A Preferred are cumulative at a rate of
$80 per share. The Series A Preferred is convertible into shares of Common Stock
at a conversion price of $1.60 per share, for an aggregate of 731,250 shares of
Common Stock.
In December 1997, the Company sold 250,000 shares of Common Stock to
Renaissance in a private placement for aggregate proceeds of $1,000,000 and
placed $3,000,000 in 9% Convertible Debentures (the "Debentures") with
Renaissance. The proceeds from the private placement were used to repay the
Company's line of credit with another financial institution, to make an equity
investment in Dexterity, and for working capital purposes. The Debentures are
secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and require monthly
payments of interest beginning in February 1998 and, unless sooner paid,
redeemed or converted, require monthly principal payments commencing in December
2000 of $10 per $1000 of the then remaining principal amount. The remaining
principal balance will mature in December 2004. The Debentures require the
Company to comply with the following financial covenants (all as defined in the
Debentures): (i) a Debt to Net Worth Ratio of no greater than .85:1; (ii) an
Interest Coverage Ratio of at least 5:1; (iii) a Debt Coverage Ratio of at least
.10:1; and (iv) a Current Ratio of at least 1.8:1. At June 30, 1999, the Company
was not in compliance with the Debt to Net Worth Ratio, Interest Coverage Ratio,
Debt Coverage Ratio, and Current Ratio covenants, and has obtained a waiver from
Renaissance to suspend the Debt to Net Worth Ratio, Interest Coverage Ratio,
Debt Coverage Ratio and Current Ratio covenants through September 30, 1999 at
which time the Company believes it will be in compliance with such covenants. If
the Company is unable to comply with such covenants in the future, the Company
could be found to be in technical default under the Debentures and the holders
thereof would have the right to demand the immediate repayment of the entire
amount outstanding. The Company believes that sufficient resources would be
available to fund such amounts in
- 11 -
12
the event of such acceleration. The holders of the Debentures have the option to
convert at any time all or a portion of the Debentures into shares of Common
Stock at a price of $1.60 per share of Common Stock for a maximum of 1,875,000
shares of Common Stock.
Pursuant to a Subscription Agreement dated June 9, 1998, the Company
issued 370,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock, at a per share price of
$3.25, with an aggregate value of $1,202,500 in exchange for approximately four
percent (4%) of the ownership interests of Ana-Tech, L.L.C. At the same time,
Ana-Tech, L.L.C. sold ownership interests for cash to third parties at the same
unit price. The Company also has entered into an Assignment Agreement dated June
30, 1998 with Ana-Tech, L.L.C., pursuant to which the Company assigned all of
its rights, duties and obligations under its Osteoport(R) device patent license
agreement. As consideration for such assignment, the Company received $600,000
cash and will receive a five percent (5%) royalty on future gross sales of the
Osteoport(R) device. The assignment resulted in a gain of $411,000.
For the six month period ended June 30, 1999, operating activities used
cash of $489,000. Investment activities during the period utilized cash of
$830,000 primarily due to the acquisition of Dexterity. During the period, the
Company's financing activities provided $317,000 primarily from the net increase
in the outstanding balance of the line of credit.
For the six month period ended June 30, 1998, operating activities used
cash of $1,155,000. Investment activities during the period utilized cash of
$1,076,000 primarily due to the purchase of 19.2% of Dexterity's outstanding
stock. During the period, the Company's financing activities provided $251,000
primarily from the exercise of stock options.
Based upon the current level of operations, the Company believes that
projected cash flow from operations plus the Company's cash from its line of
credit and from the realization of its current assets will be adequate to meet
its anticipated requirements for working capital and capital expenditures
through at least 1999. However, additional capital may be required in order for
the Company to take advantage of any potential acquisition opportunities or to
participate in future alliances or joint ventures. There can be no assurance
that the Company will not require additional funding or that such additional
funding, if needed, will be available on terms beneficial to the Company or at
all.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
For the three months ended June 30, 1999, the Company reported a net
loss applicable to common stock of $1,326,000 or $.13 per basic and diluted
share. This compares with a net loss of $147,000 for the three months ended June
30, 1998 or $.02 per basic and diluted share. For the six months ended June 30,
1999, the Company reported a net loss of $1,622,000 versus a net loss of
$807,000 for the comparable period of 1998. Reported results for 1999 were
adversely impacted by increased noncash amortization expense (see below) and the
transition of the Company from distributing products of Origin Medsystems
("Origin") to distributing products of General Surgical Innovations ("GSI").
Origin products accounted for 52% of the Company's revenues during the first
quarter of 1999. However, as a result of the patent infringement lawsuit between
Origin and GSI in April 1999, the Company made the decision to discontinue
distributing Origin products and begin distributing GSI products. The Company
believes it has substantially completed the costly and time consuming transition
of its customer base from the Origin products to the GSI products. The net
losses for the three months and six months ended June 30, 1998 included an
approximate $400,000 gain on the sale of the Osteoport(R) device.
Product sales increased 20% in the second quarter 1999 and 29% in the
first six months of 1999 as compared with the same periods in 1998. Product
sales were $5,204,000 for the second quarter of 1999 and $4,335,000 for the
second quarter of 1998. Product sales for the first six months of 1999 and 1998
were $10,899,000 and $8,418,000 respectively. These increases were due to
continued sales growth throughout the Company.
The Company continues to focus on laparoscopic and lesser invasive
surgical products which generate higher gross profit margins. Accordingly,
during the quarter ended June 30, 1999, the Company closed the Surgical Systems
Division which concentrated on orthopedic products and primarily earned
commission income. Therefore, as a result, earned commissions decreased for the
three months and six months ended June 30, 1999 as compared with the previous
year.
Gross profit from product sales in the second quarter was $1,975,000 in
1999 versus $1,695,000 in 1998. The corresponding gross profit margins were
virtually flat: 38% in 1999 and 39% in 1998. For the six months ended June 30,
gross profit was $4,207,000 or 39% in 1999 and $3,289,000 or 39% in 1998.
- 12 -

For the second quarter, selling, general and administrative expenses,
which consist primarily of sales commissions, salaries and other costs necessary
to support the Company's infrastructure, increased 11% to $2,619,000 in 1999
from $2,359,000 in 1998. For the first six months of 1999, these expenses
increased 10% from $4,709,000 to $5,181,000. These increased costs reflect
higher sales commissions due to the increased level of sales. However, as a
percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses have
decreased: 49% for 1999 versus 51% for 1998 for the quarter periods and 46% for
1999 versus 52% for 1998 for the six months periods.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased 370% to $469,000 for
the second quarter of 1999 from $100,000 for the second quarter of 1998. There
was a 189% increase in the comparable six month periods. This increase is due to
the amortization of the licensed technology rights acquired in conjunction with
Dexterity.
Interest expense was $336,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1999 and
$75,000 for the comparable 1998 quarter, an increase of 348%. For the six months
period, interest expense was $399,000 in 1999 and $148,000 in 1998. The increase
is due to the accretion of the minimum royalty obligation, interest on the line
of credit acquired in 1999 and interest on the note payable due to the former
stockholders of Dexterity.
YEAR 2000 ISSUE
The efficient operation of the Company's business is dependent on its computer
software programs and operating systems (collectively, "Programs and Systems").
These Programs and Systems are used in several key areas of the Company's
business, including information management services and financial reporting, as
well as in various administrative functions. The Company has evaluated its
Programs and Systems to identify potential year 2000 compliance problems, as
well as manual processes, external interfaces with customers, and services
supplied by vendors to coordinate year 2000 compliance and conversion. The year
2000 problem refers to the limitations of the programming code in certain
existing software programs to recognize date sensitive information for the year
2000 and beyond. Unless modified prior to December 31, 1999, such systems may
not properly recognize date-sensitive information and could generate erroneous
data or cause a system to fail to operate properly. Based on current
information, the Company believes its Programs and Systems are year 2000
compliant. However, because most computer systems are, by their very nature,
interdependent, it is possible that non-compliant third party computers may not
interface properly with the Company's computer systems. The Company could be
adversely affected by the year 2000 problem if it or unrelated parties fail to
successfully address this issue. Problems encountered by the Company's vendors,
customers and other third parties also may have a material adverse effect on the
Company's financial condition and results of operations.
In the event the Company determines, following the year 2000 date change, that
its Programs and Systems are not year 2000 compliant, the Company will likely
experience considerable delays in processing customer orders and invoices,
compiling information required for financial reporting and performing various
administrative functions. In the event of such occurrence, the Company's
contingency plans call for it to switch vendors to obtain hardware and/or
software that is year 2000 compliant, and until such hardware and/or software
can be obtained, the Company will plan to use non-computer systems for its
business, including information management services and financial reporting, as
well as its various administrative functions.
The above Year 2000 disclosure constitutes a "Year 2000 Readiness Disclosure" as
defined in The Year 2000 Information and Readiness Disclosure Act (the "Act"),
which was signed into law on October 19, 1998. The Act provides added protection
from liability for certain public and private statements concerning a company's
Year 2000 readiness.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
The Company is a party to claims and legal proceedings arising in the
ordinary course of business. The Company believes it is unlikely that
the final outcome of any of the claims or proceedings to which the
Company is a party would have a material adverse effect on the
Company's financial statements; however, due to the inherent
uncertainty of litigation, the range of possible loss, if any, cannot
be estimated with a reasonable degree of precision and there can be
no assurance that the resolution of any particular claim or
proceeding would not have an adverse effect on the Company's results
of operations for the interim period in which such resolution
occurred.
