                                     PART I



ITEM I - BUSINESS
-----------------

Through our wholly owned subsidiary, Quipp Systems, Inc., we design,
manufacture, install, service and market post-press material handling equipment
to newspaper publishers. In the post-press stage of newspaper operations,
newspapers move from the pressroom in a continuous stream and are stacked,
bundled, transferred to the shipping docks and loaded into carts or stored on
pallets for further distribution. Our equipment and computerized control systems
facilitate the automated movement of newspapers from the printing press to the
delivery trucks.

Our product line includes the following:

Newspaper Stacker - The Series 400 Stacker counts and batches stacks of
newspapers at maximum speeds of 85,000 copies per hour. The Quipp Sport Stacker,
marketed to smaller volume newspapers, counts and batches stacks of newspapers
at maximum speeds of 60,000 copies per hour.

Bottomwrapper - The Quipp Viper, our bottomwrapper, applies wrapping paper to
the bottom or three sides of a newspaper bundle to protect against product
damage. The Viper can be equipped with an inkjet printing device that provides
delivery location and copy count information on the wrapping paper.

Automatic Cart Loading System - This system loads strapped bundles of newspapers
into carts for transportation to remote distribution centers. Quipp's Automatic
Cart Loading System handles bundles of various shapes and sizes. Upon completion
of loading, the cart is discharged from the cart loader, loaded in a truck and
is ready for delivery to the distribution site.

Newspaper Gripper and Conveyor Systems - Our gripper and conveyor systems, which
include the newly developed Quipp-Gripp II (TM), as well as the Quipp Twin-Trak
and the Quipp Rollerslat, transport newspapers from pressrooms to various
locations throughout the post-press operation. The conveyor systems include both
horizontal and vertical conveyor modules, which can be integrated with
directional switches and special purpose components to accommodate the layout of
the newspaper plant. The Quipp-Gripp II uses a series of grippers mounted on an
articulating chain to pick up and transport newspapers and other printed
products. Each Quipp-Gripp II gripper carries a single copy of the product. The
Quipp Twin-Trak is a twin-belt newspaper conveyor that transports newspapers in
an overlapping stream with maximum surface speeds of approximately 80,000
newspapers per hour. The Quipp rollerslat conveyor employs an array of
independently rotating rollers and is used in the processing of newspaper stacks
prior to bundling.

Automatic Palletizer System -The palletizer system receives newspaper bundles
from conveyors, stacks the bundles onto a pallet and places stretch wrap film
around the pallet and newspapers to prevent movement during transportation to a
distribution site.

Other Products - We manufacture other products for post-press operations,
including stream aligners, centering pacers, fold compressors, newspaper
sensors, press production monitors and other equipment.

Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) Equipment - We sell OEM products to
compliment our product line and provide our customers a single source for
integrated post-press material handling systems.

Our manufacturing activities consist primarily of the assembly of purchased
components, the fabrication of mechanical parts and the testing of completed
products. We use approximately 350 vendors to supply parts, materials and
components for our various products. We believe that alternative sources of
supply are available for all required components. If necessary, certain parts
could be manufactured in our in-house machine shop, which is used primarily for
custom engineering and development of prototype equipment.

We market, install and service our products both domestically and
internationally. All of the products have a minimum one-year warranty, and we
have a staff of technicians that provide installation and repair services. In
addition to the manufacture and sale of products, we sell spare parts for our
equipment. In 2000 and 1999, spare parts sales accounted for approximately 7% of
our net sales revenue.

                                       2

We sell most of our products to newspaper publishers in the United States. Our
foreign sales accounted for 13%, 6% and 12% of total sales in 2000, 1999, and
1998, respectively. The following table indicates the amount of sales by
geographic area during the past three years:

        ======================================================================================================
</TABLE>


As of December 31, 2000, our backlog of orders was approximately $11,457,000, as
compared to $10,150,000 on December 31, 1999. While our 2000 year-end backlog
exceeded the level of the previous year-end, we are currently experiencing a
decrease in incoming orders. This decrease could adversely affect our financial
results for 2001. We expect to ship all orders included in our backlog within
the next 15 months. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations - General" in Item 7.

For the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, no single newspaper
accounted for ten percent or more of our net sales. A number of our newspaper
customers are part of large newspaper chains, but management believes that
purchase decisions are made by the individual newspapers. Newspapers owned by
Gannett Co, Inc. and Knight-Ridder, Inc. accounted for 18% and 12% of our net
sales in 2000. Newspapers owned by Gannett Co, Inc. accounted for 32% of our
sales in 1998. Since our equipment is designed to have an extended life, our
largest individual newspaper customers in a given year are usually different
from the largest customers in any other year.

OEM sales accounted for approximately 12.6%, 9.6% and 3.0% of our total sales in
2000, 1999, and 1998, respectively.

COMPETITION
The newspaper industry has experienced a decrease in size in recent years, as
the number of newspapers in the country has declined. Moreover, in recent years,
there has been consolidation among manufacturers of newspaper material handling
equipment. These developments have increased competition in the industry, and
some of our competitors have much greater financial resources than ours.
Nevertheless, we believe we have been able to compete successfully in this
environment by emphasizing our customer service, engineering expertise and the
quality and reliability of our products.

We believe we have two principal competitors for the newspaper post-press
equipment business in the United States, Heidelberg Finishing Systems, a
domestic subsidiary of Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG, a German company and,
GMA, a domestic subsidiary of Muller-Martini Versand-Systeme AG, a Swiss
company. In addition, there are several companies that compete with respect to
certain of our products. We have experienced competition on the basis of price
with respect to most of our products and anticipate that price competition will
continue.

MARKETING
We have 18 employees on our sales support and direct sales staff. In North
America, we sell our products through five direct sales representatives. In
Latin America, we have one sales representative that works closely with
international dealers to sell our products. We use international dealers to
market and sell our products in the rest of the world. Domestically, we market
products by direct solicitation, trade shows and national and regional trade
journal advertising. International marketing efforts are coordinated through the
foreign dealers. Some of the international dealers are commissioned, while
others purchase our products for resale.

PATENTS AND TRADEMARKS
We hold 30 U.S. patents, which expire during the period from 2001 to 2017. We
have three patents pending and continue to apply for patent protection when
deemed advisable; however, we believe that the success of our products
ultimately is dependent upon performance, reliability and engineering, and that
our patents are not material to our business. "Quipp" and "Quipp Gripp" are
registered trademarks of Quipp, Inc.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Research and development costs totaled $669,855, $742,865 and $760,256 in 2000,
1999 and 1998 respectively. The majority of Quipp's 2000 research and
development costs represented expenditures for development of the automatic
palletizer system and Quipp-Gripp II.

EMPLOYEES
As of December 31, 2000, we had 146 full-time employees. None of our employees
are represented by a union and we consider our employee relations to be good.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
In August 2000, the Company's Board of Directors formed a Special Committee to
evaluate strategic alternatives for Quipp, including a possible sale of the
company. The Committee retained Lazard Freres & Co. LLC to act as its exclusive
investment banker. The Committee's evaluation is continuing.

2000 vs. 1999
                                                 2000               1999
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Net Sales                                    $   35,352            $ 31,632

                           %                         12

Our sales growth was primarily due to improved international sales. The increase
in international sales reflects our increased sales efforts, including the
hiring of a sales representative and additional sales support staff in 1999.
Sales for our core product lines, stackers and bottomwrappers, remain strong.
The 2000 sales growth also included increased sales of original equipment
manufacturers (OEM) equipment as well as increased installation and service
fees. We sell OEM products to offer our customers a single source solution for
integrated post-press material handling systems.


                                                 2000               1999

Percentage of Net Sales                             37%                 36%

The increase in gross profit as a percentage of net sales is due in part to
improved gross profit on OEM equipment sales. Additionally, our gross profit
percentage improved due to lower fixed overhead costs as a percentage of net
sales. Our fixed overhead costs remained stable in 2000 compared to 1999 while
sales increased by 12%.


                                                 2000               1999

Percentage of Net Sales                              16%                18%

The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses is
primarily attributable to lower marketing expenses offset in part by
higher direct sales costs and professional fees. The decreased marketing
expenses reflect reduced spending on trade show and advertising. In
1999, we incurred higher trade show and advertising costs related to the
introduction and promotion of two new product lines. Direct selling
costs, such as travel and commission expense, increased in 2000
principally due to our increased international sales efforts.
Professional fees increased in 2000 primarily due to costs associated
with evaluating strategic alternatives to maximize shareholder value
with Lazard Freres & Co.


                                                 2000               1999

Percentage of Net Sales                               2%                    2%

Research and development decreased primarily due to the substantial completion
of our automatic palletizer product line offset in part by additional costs
incurred in the development of our Quipp-Gripp II gripper conveyor system.

The increase in other income and expense (net) is primarily due to the increase
in interest income. This increase resulted from higher interest rates on our
securities available for sale and higher average balances of cash and cash
equivalents and securities available for sale.

Our sales growth was primarily in the domestic market. Sales for our core
product lines, stackers and bottomwrappers, continue to be strong. The 1999
sales growth included increased sales of original OEM equipment.

Percentage of Net Sales                              36%               37%

The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of net sales is primarily due to
the sale of a higher percentage of OEM equipment, which generally has lower
margins than products we manufacture.

The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was principally due
to higher sales and marketing costs, offset in part by a decrease in
professional fees. The higher sales and marketing costs were due in part to
increased sales. Additionally, we increased spending on trade shows and
advertising in trade journals in order to introduce our two new products, the
automatic palletizer system and the Quipp-Gripp II gripper conveyer. We also
hired a salesperson and sales support staff to improve our sales efforts in
international markets.

The decrease in professional fees reflects reduced spending for legal and
accounting fees. In 1998, the Company incurred professional fees in connection
with an aborted business combination transaction and patent infringement
litigation that we brought against another company. The litigation was settled
in 1998.

The decrease in other income and expense (net) was due to the decrease in
interest income. This decrease reflected lower cash and cash equivalents and
securities available for sale due to the payment of a $13,196,008 special
dividend in May 1999.

General
The majority of our sales are made on a contract basis. Typically, we receive a
deposit upon the execution of the sales contract. Prior to shipment, we receive
additional installment payments. We normally receive larger orders several
months in advance of delivery. Therefore, backlog can be an important, though by
no means conclusive, indication of our short-term revenue stream. The timing of
revenues can be affected by pending orders, the amount of custom engineering
required, the timetable for delivery, and the receipt and nature of new orders.
Our backlog, as of December 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999, was $11,457,000 and
$10,150,000 respectively. While our 2000 year-end backlog exceeded the level of
the previous year-end, we are currently experiencing a decrease in incoming
orders. This decrease could adversely affect our financial results for year-end
2001. We expect to ship all orders included in our December 31, 2000 backlog
within the next 15 months.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
On December 31, 2000, cash, cash equivalents and securities available for sale
totaled $16,988,495, as compared to $13,339,318 at December 31, 1999, an
increase of $3,649,177. The increase was due primarily to cash provided by
operations, offset in part by $374,560 in capital expenditures. Working capital
at December 31, 2000 was $19,588,283, an increase of $5,069,800 from $14,518,483
at December 31, 1999. The increase in working capital was due primarily to
increases in cash, cash equivalents and securities available for sale, accounts
receivable and inventories offset in part by an increase in accounts payable. We
believe that our cash, cash equivalents and securities available for sale
together with cash generated from operations will be sufficient to fund
operations at the current level.

Market Risk
We are exposed to various types of market risk, including changes in interest
rates. Market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market
rates and prices such as interest rates. We do not enter into derivatives or
other financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. Because our
cash and investments exceed short and long-term debt, the exposure to interest
rates relates primarily to our investment portfolio. Due to the short-term
maturities of our investments, we believe there is no significant risk arising
from interest rate fluctuations. We are actively managing our investment
portfolios to increase return on investments, but, in order to ensure safety and
liquidity, will only invest in instruments with credit quality and which are
traded in a secondary market. The counterparties are major financial
institutions and government agencies.

Inflation
The rate of inflation has not had a material impact on operations.


Forward Looking Statements
The statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including
statements concerning the effect of the decrease in incoming orders, shipment of
backlog orders and adequacy of available resources, are forward looking
statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995. A number of important factors could cause actual results to differ
materially from those in the forward looking statements including, but not
limited to, economic conditions generally and specifically in the newspaper
industry, reductions in sales or increases in sales, demand and market
acceptance for new and existing products, the impact of competitive products and
pricing, manufacturing capacity, delays in shipment, cancellation of customer
orders, and engineering and production difficulties.

Independent Auditors' Report

The Board of Directors
Quipp, Inc.:
         We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Quipp,
Inc. and subsidiary (the "Company") as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the
related consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity and cash flows
for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2000. These
consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated
financial statements based on our audits.
         We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
         In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company
as of December 31, 2000 and 1999 and the results of their operations and their
cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31,
2000, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America.

                           QUIPP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Note 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of consolidation - The accompanying consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of Quipp, Inc. and Quipp Systems, Inc., a wholly owned
subsidiary (collectively, the Company). All material intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Nature of business - The Company designs, manufactures, installs, services and
markets post-press material handling equipment to newspaper publishers. In the
post-press stage of newspaper operations, newspapers move from the pressroom in
a continuous stream and are stacked, bundled, conveyed to the shipping docks and
loaded into carts or stored on pallets for further distribution.

Inventories - Inventories include material, labor and factory overhead, and are
stated at the lower of cost or market. Costs are determined using the first-in,
first-out (FIFO) method.

Accounts Receivable/Deferred Revenue - Most of the Company's sales are made on a
contract basis and require customers to make progress payments. Progress
payments are recorded as deferred revenue when received. Revenue is recognized
upon shipment of the equipment. Installation revenue is recognized upon
completion of installation at the customer's site. Accounts receivable is
presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $370,000 for 2000 and
$306,424 for 1999.

Goodwill - The excess of cost over the fair value of net assets of a purchased
business is recorded as goodwill and amortized using the straight-line method
over 17 years. The Company reviews the carrying value of goodwill for possible
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Goodwill impairment, if
any, is measured based on projected discounted future operating cash flows using
a discount rate reflecting the Company's average cost of funds. The assessment
of the recoverability of goodwill will be reevaluated if estimated future
operating cash flows are not achieved.

Research and development costs - Research and development costs include
expenditures for the development of new products, significant enhancements of
existing products or production processes, and the design, testing and
construction of prototypes. The Company expenses research and development costs
as they are incurred.

Property, plant and equipment, net - Property, plant and equipment is recorded
at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of the assets. Repairs and maintenance are expensed as
incurred; alterations and major overhauls that improve an asset or extend the
useful lives are capitalized.

Income taxes - Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability
method under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 109, "Accounting For Income Taxes." Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are identified based on temporary differences between the financial
statements and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are measured using tax rates that are expected to apply to taxable
income in the year the temporary difference is expected to recover or settle.
Tax rate changes are recognized in the period in which the change occurs.

Cash and cash equivalents - Cash and cash equivalents include all the Company's
operating cash balances, demand deposits and short-term investments with
original maturities of three months or less. The Company classifies investments
with an original maturity of more than three months as securities available for
sale.

Income per share - Basic income per share is based on the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding during the periods presented. Diluted income
per share is computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive
common equivalent shares outstanding in the periods presented. Dilutive common
equivalent shares assume the exercise of options, calculated under the treasury
stock method, using the average stock market prices during the periods.

Warranty reserve - Warranty reserves are calculated based on the Company's
previous experience with customers' claims arising from the sale of merchandise.
The reserve is computed at 1 1/2% of contract revenue. Additions to this reserve
are charged to selling expense. Warranty reserve is included in other accrued
liabilities.

                                       19

<PAGE>

Securities available for sale - Securities available for sale include
investments that are not held for trading or not intended to be held to
maturity. These instruments are recorded at their fair value. Unrealized holding
gains or losses, net of the related tax effect, are included as a separate
component of shareholders' equity. Realized gains and losses, arising from the
sale of securities, are computed using the specific identification method and
included in net income. Fair value of the securities is determined based upon
market prices or discounted cash flow. A decrease in the market value below
cost, determined to be other than temporary, would result in a reduction in
carrying amount to fair value. This reduction would be charged to income.
Premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted using a method that
approximates the effective yield over the life of the security. Dividend and
interest income is recognized when earned. The Company invests in short term and
variable rate long-term securities and believes there is no significant risk
arising from interest rate fluctuations. The Company actively manages its
investment portfolios to increase return on investments, but, in order to ensure
liquidity, will only invest in instruments with credit quality and which are
traded in a secondary market.

Deferred bond-financing cost - Deferred bond financing costs were incurred upon
the issuance of industrial revenue bonds (see note 6) and are included in other
assets. These costs are amortized using a method that approximates the effective
yield over the term of the bonds.

Use of estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
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. These estimates could
affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Significant items subject
to estimates include the allowance for doubtful accounts, warranty reserves,
provision for contract contingencies on completed contracts and inventory
reserves. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Contract contingencies - Contract contingencies are estimates of additional
expenses that may be incurred by the Company after a system is installed and
revenue has been recognized. These costs occur when additional efforts are
required to assure compliance with the customers' specifications. The estimated
cost to comply with the customers' specifications is based on the Company's past
experience.

Impairment of long-lived assets - The Company accounts for long-lived assets in
accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of." This
statement requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles
be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of
assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of
an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such
assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is
measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the
fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of
the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. There was no impairment of
long-lived assets in 2000 and 1999.

Stock-Based compensation -The Company uses the intrinsic value-based method of
accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and related interpretations, in
accounting for its stock option grants. Under APB 25, compensation expense is
recorded on the date of grant only if the current market price of the underlying
stock exceeds the exercise price. SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation, " established accounting and disclosure requirements using a fair
value-based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation plans. As
allowed by SFAS No. 123, the Company has elected to continue to apply the
intrinsic value-based method of accounting described above, and has provided the
disclosures required by SFAS No. 123. (see note 7)

Comprehensive income - In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income". SFAS 130 is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997 and establishes
standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components
in a full set of general-purpose financial statements. The adoption of SFAS 130
has had no significant impact on the Company's financial statements. There were
no items of other comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2000,
1999, and 1998.

Segment Reporting - In 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures
about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" ("SFAS No. 131"). SFAS
No. 131 supersedes SFAS No. 14, "Financial Reporting for Segments of a Business
Enterprise." SFAS No. 131 applies a "management approach" in which the internal
reporting that is used by management for making operational decisions and
evaluating performance is the source for the Company's segment reporting. The
adoption of SFAS No. 131 did not affect the results of operations or financial
position. The Company currently operates in one segment for management reporting
purposes.

</TABLE>

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers
whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax
asset will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is
dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in
which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the
scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income,
and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based upon the level of
historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the
periods that the deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes it is
more likely than not the Company will realize the benefits of these deductible
differences. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable,
however, could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income
during the carryforward period are reduced.

The following table summarizes the differences between the Company's effective
income tax rate and the statutory federal tax rate for the years ended December
31, 2000, 1999, and 1998:

Using the Black Scholes option-pricing model, the per share average fair value
of stock options granted during 1999 and 1998 ranged from approximately $7.40 to
$10.25 and $5.50 to $8.60, respectively. The following weighted-average
assumptions were used in calculating fair value: an expected dividend yield of
zero and expected lives ranging from five to ten years for 1999 and 1998, and a
risk-free interest rate of 5.80% and 4.65% for 1999 and 1998, respectively.

The Company applies APB 25 in accounting for its stock options and, accordingly,
no compensation expense has been recognized for its stock options in the
financial statements. Had the Company determined compensation cost based on the
fair value at the grant date for its stock options under SFAS 123, the Company's
net income and net income per common and common equivalent shares would have
been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated as follows:

The full impact of calculating compensation expense for stock options under SFAS
123 is not reflected in the pro forma net income amounts presented above because
compensation expense is reflected over the options' vesting period, which could
be up to four years. At December 31, 2000 the range of exercise prices and
remaining contractual life of outstanding options was $9.00 to $17.50, and .5 to
8.5 years, respectively. At December 31, 2000, the number of options exercisable
was 116,250, and the weighted-average exercise price of those options was $15.14

Note 9 - MAJOR CUSTOMERS

For the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, no single newspaper
accounted for ten percent or more of our net sales. A number of our newspaper
customers are part of large newspaper chains, but management believes that
purchase decisions are made by the individual newspapers. Newspapers owned by
Gannett Co, Inc. and Knight-Ridder, Inc. accounted for 18% and 12% of our net
sales in 2000. Newspapers owned by Gannett Co, Inc. accounted for 32% of our
sales in 1998. The Company sells a substantial portion of its products to the
domestic newspaper industry; foreign sales accounted for 13%, 6%, and 12% of
total net sales in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.


Note 10 - EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN

The Quipp Systems, Inc. Employee Savings and Investment Plan (the Savings Plan),
is a defined contribution plan that covers substantially all full-time
employees. The Savings Plan permits eligible employees to contribute up to 20%
of annual compensation, subject to the maximum allowable contribution limits of
Sections 415, 401(k) and 404 of the Internal Revenue Code. In 2000, the Board of
Directors approved an increase in the matching contribution to the Savings Plan
to 60% of the first 8% of compensation deferred by each participant. In 1999,
the Board of Directors approved an increase in the matching contribution to the
Savings Plan to 50% of the first 8% of compensation deferred by each
participant. In 1998, the Board of Directors approved an increase in the
matching contribution to the Savings Plan to 50% of the first 6% of compensation
deferred by each participant. In prior years, the matching contribution applied
to a maximum of the first 4% of compensation deferred by each participant. The
amount contributed by the Company in 2000, 1999, and 1998, was $137,117,
$118,755 and $66,588, respectively. The Company, as sponsor, pays the
administrative expenses of the Savings Plan.

Note 11 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The carrying amounts of the Company's financial instruments, including cash and
cash equivalents, securities available for sale, accounts receivable, other
assets, prepaid expenses and other receivables, long-term debt, accounts
payable, accrued salaries and wages and other accrued liabilities approximate
fair value.


Note 12 - CONTINGENCIES

In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to litigation, and
other asserted and unasserted claims. In the opinion of management, the
resolution of these matters would not have a material adverse effect on the
Company's financial position, results of operations or liquidity.


Note 13 - RECENT PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 1999, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)
Nos. 137 and 138, which amends the effective date of SFAS No. 133, "Accounting
for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 133 establishes
accounting and reporting standards for derivative financial instruments and
hedging activities and requires the Company to recognize all derivatives as
either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet and measure them at fair
value. Gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value would be accounted
for based on the use of the derivative and whether it is designated and
qualifies for hedge accounting. SFAS Nos. 133 and 138 are effective for all
fiscal quarters of the fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company's
adoption of SFAS Nos. 133 and 138 on January 1, 2001 is not expected to have an
impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 1999, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 ("SAB101"),
"Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements." SAB 101 summarizes certain of the
SEC's views in applying accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America to revenue recognition in financial statements. The Company
adopted SAB 101 beginning October 1, 2000. The adoption of SAB 101 did not have
a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
