            NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  GENERAL

GENERAL BUSINESS

Printrak International Inc. ("the Company") is a worldwide supplier of
integrated identification and information systems used primarily in criminal
justice and public safety applications, as well as in emerging applications in
civil markets such as welfare and immigration control. The Company provides
networked fingerprint, photo imaging, computer-aided dispatch and automated
records management systems, as well as digital scanning devices. The Company's
integrated systems serve approximately 700 national, state, county and municipal
agencies in 36 countries.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant
to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").
The unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which
are normal and recurring in nature, and which in the opinion of management are
necessary to a fair statement of the financial position and results of
operations as of September 30, 1998 and for the three month and six month
periods ended September 30, 1998 and 1997. The results of operations for the
three month and six month periods ended September 30, 1998 are not necessarily
indicative of the results of operations for the entire fiscal year ending March
31, 1999. These consolidated financial statements and related footnotes should
be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related
footnotes presented in the Company's 10-K.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

REVENUE RECOGNITION - In October 1997, the AICPA issued SOP 97-2, "Software
Revenue Recognition" which later in part was amended by SOP 98-4, "Deferral of
the Effective Date of a Provision of SOP 97-2". These statements supersede SOP
91-1 under which the Company has previously been recognizing revenue. The
Company adopted SOP 97-2 for transactions entered into beginning April 1, 1998.

Pursuant to SOP 97-2, the Company recognizes revenue on contracts which do not
require significant modification or customization of software when all of the
following conditions are met: a signed contract is obtained, delivery has
occurred, the fee is fixed and determinable, collectibility is probable, and any
uncertainties with regard to customer acceptance are insignificant. A majority
of the Company's contracts include a combination of the following elements:
hardware, software, license fees, installation, program modifications, file
conversion, training, and customer support. For such contracts, revenue must be
allocated to each component based on vendor specific objective evidence of the
components fair value. Revenue allocated to undelivered products is recognized
as the above criteria are met; revenue for services is recognized as services
are performed or, for maintenance agreements, ratably over the life of the
related contract. Cash payments for systems sales or maintenance received in
advance of revenue recognition are accounted for as deferred revenue. For those
contracts which have been considered long-term contracts due to a significant
amount of customization, the Company recognizes revenue on a percentage of
completion basis.

<PAGE>

COMPREHENSIVE INCOME - Effective April 1, 1998, the Company has adopted SFAS No.
130, REPORTING COMPREHENSIVE INCOME. This statement establishes standards for
the reporting of comprehensive income and its components. Comprehensive income,
as defined, includes all changes in equity (net assets) during a period from
nonowner sources. For the three month and six month periods ending September 30,
1998, the difference between net income, as reported, and comprehensive income
was not significant.

In July 1998, the Company negotiated an arrangement with its bank to refinance
its debt into a $15.0 million revolving credit facility to be used principally
for working capital and a $4.0 million term loan which has been utilized in the
past for acquisitions. During the third quarter of fiscal 1999 the Company
repaid the outstanding principal balance on the term loan and extended the
revolving credit facility to January 4, 2000. The revolving line of credit
agreement contains certain restrictive covenants, which restrict the Company's
ability to pay dividends and requires the Company to maintain minimum tangible
net worth and certain other financial ratios. The Company was in compliance with
these covenants as amended.

5.  NET INCOME AND NET INCOME PER SHARE

SFAS No. 128 requires dual presentation of "basic" and "diluted" earnings per
share, thus replacing "primary" and "fully diluted" earnings per share required
under APB No. 15. Basic EPS excludes common stock equivalents and is computed by
dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the inclusion of common stock equivalents
and their potential dilution. Diluted EPS is similar to fully diluted EPS;
however, it uses the average stock price during the period as part of the
computation. Common stock equivalents are excluded from the prior year EPS
calculations because their effect would be anti-dilutive.

The number of shares used in computing EPS is as follows for the six months
ended September 30:

6. RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

In fiscal 1998, the Company announced a formal plan for restructuring both its
SunRise and TFP subsidiaries to realize cost savings and capitalize on synergies
by consolidating the subsidiaries into the Company's Anaheim operations. The
restructuring charges include lease termination and facility closure costs,
losses on the disposition of fixed assets and severance costs for terminated
employees. As of September 30, 1998, the Company has principally completed the
restructuring activities, with the 

                                       8

exception of subleasing its Fremont, CA facility, and actual costs have not 
differed significantly from amounts previously accrued. Approximately $220,000 
of accrued restructuring costs, accrued for in fiscal 1998, are included in 
accrued liabilities as of September 30, 1998, which principally relate to 
future lease commitments and unpaid severance.

          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

                            AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

INTRODUCTORY NOTE

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements
within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Company intends that such
forward-looking statements be subject to the safe harbors created thereby. Words
such as "anticipates", "expects", "intends", "plans", "believes", "seeks",
"estimates", variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to
identify such forward-looking statements, which include (i) the existence and
development of the Company's technical and manufacturing capabilities, (ii)
anticipated competition, (iii) potential future growth in revenues and income,
(iv) potential future decreases in costs, and (v) the need for, and availability
of, additional financing.

The forward-looking statements included herein are based on current expectations
that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking
statements are based on assumptions that the Company's markets will continue to
grow, that the Company's products will remain accepted within their respective
markets and will not be replaced by new technology, that competitive conditions
within the Company's markets will not change materially or adversely, that the
Company will retain key technical and management personnel, that the Company's
forecasts will accurately anticipate market demand, and that there will be no
material adverse change in the Company's operations or business. Assumptions
relating to the foregoing involve judgments with respect to, among other things,
future economic, competitive and market conditions, and future business
decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and
many of which are beyond the control of the Company. In light of the significant
uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking information included herein, the
inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by the
Company or any other person that the objectives or plans of the Company will be
achieved.

The following is management's discussion and analysis of certain significant
factors which have affected the earnings and financial position of the Company
during the period included in the accompanying financial statements. This
discussion compares the three month period ended September 30, 1998 with the
three month period ended September 30, 1997, as well as the six month period
ended September 30, 1998 with the six month period ended September 30, 1997.
This discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and
associated notes.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTH PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTH PERIOD 
ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997

TOTAL REVENUES

The Company's total revenues are comprised of system revenues, which include
products, file conversion, data mapping services and system installations, and
maintenance revenues related to hardware and software support.

Total revenues increased 4.8% to $20.2 million for the quarter ended September
30, 1998, up from $19.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1997. This
$1.0 million revenue increase reflects a full quarter of operations in the
current year for the Company's Boulder and SunRise divisions. For the second
quarter of fiscal year 1999, the Company's Boulder division contributed $4.1
million in total revenues versus $2.0 million during the second quarter of
fiscal year 1998. SunRise Imaging added $1.9 million during the current fiscal
period versus $.7 million during the same quarter of fiscal 1998. TFP's revenues
of $1.8 million were down 46.5% from $3.4 million during the same quarter of
fiscal 1998. Management believes this reduction is principally related to sales
force and product delivery integration into the Company's Anaheim operations
which was substantially complete during the first quarter of fiscal 1999. The
Company's AFIS product line contributed $12.0 million in total quarterly
revenues, versus $13.2 million for the same period of the previous year. This
revenue decline is primarily attributable to the implementation of Statement of
Position No. 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition. The implementation of this
accounting pronouncement resulted in the delay of revenue recognition on certain
contracts. This revenue is expected to be recognized in subsequent quarters.

System revenues increased $.7 million or 4.5% to $16.6 million for the second
quarter from $15.9 million for the first quarter of the previous year as a
result of the Boulder and SunRise Imaging acquisitions. Maintenance revenues
equaled $3.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1998, increasing 7.7%
from revenues of $3.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1997. The
increase in maintenance revenues is reflective of an overall expansion of the
customer base over the prior year.

The Company's quarterly revenues have in the past, and in the future, may be
expected to fluctuate significantly. These fluctuations are the result of a
variety of factors, including: the Company's delivery cycle, variations in order
size, variations in product mix, and the timing of orders.

GROSS PROFIT

Cost of revenues primarily consist of purchased materials procured for use in
the assembly of the Company's products, manufacturing or assembly labor and
overhead, file conversion costs and data mapping costs, as well as maintenance
expenses and estimated costs to complete system installations.

                                       11

<PAGE>

Overall gross profit increased 6.4% to $8.5 million for the quarterly period
ended September 30, 1998, versus $8.0 million for the same period of the
previous fiscal year. Gross margin was 42.0% for the three months ended
September 30, 1998, up slightly from 41.5% for the three months ended September
30, 1997. The gross profit for system revenues increased to $7.6 million for the
quarter ended September 30, 1998 from $6.8 million for the same quarter from the
previous fiscal year. The system gross margin also increased to 45.9% for the
current quarter from 43.0% for the second quarter of the previous fiscal year.
Maintenance gross profit decreased to $.9 million for the quarter ended
September 30, 1998 from $1.1 million during the same prior year fiscal period.
Gross margin related to maintenance revenue decreased to 24.3% for the three
months ended September 30, 1998 in comparison to 34.3% for the second quarter of
the previous year.

The increase in system gross margin primarily reflects higher margins 
realized on certain contracts in the Company's AFIS product line, a full 
quarter of activity for the SunRise division with margins of approximately 
60% and also higher margins realized on the Company's file conversion 
process. The reduction in the Company's maintenance gross margin is due in 
part to the duplicative resource costs incurred between AFIS and TFP during 
the transition of TFP into Anaheim's operations. The decrease in maintenance 
gross margin is also a result of several low margin maintenance contracts the 
Company's Boulder division inherited through acquisition.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses consist principally of
compensation paid to sales, marketing, and administrative personnel, payments to
consultants, professional service fees, travel and related expenses, and other
marketing expenses.

For the three month period ended September 30, 1998, SG&A expenses decreased to
$5.3 million from $5.5 million for the period ended September 30, 1997. This
$.2 million decrease primarily reflects cost savings resulting from cost 
synergies associated with the TFP integration into Anaheim. SG&A expenses, 
as a percentage of revenues, decreased to 26.2% for the three months ended 
September 30, 1998 from 28.4% for the three months ended September 30, 1997.

RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT AND ENGINEERING

Research, development and engineering expenses (RD&E) are comprised primarily of
compensation paid to personnel engaged in research, development and engineering
activities, amounts paid for outside services and the cost of materials used in
the development of hardware and software products.

RD&E expenses decreased 28.5% to $1.8 million for the quarter ended September
30, 1998, down from $2.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1997. The
decrease in RD&E expense is primarily the result of increased allocation of
resources to contract specific tasks, which are classified as cost of sales as
well as a reduction in contract labor. RD&E expenses, as a percentage of
revenues, decreased to 8.8% for the three months ended September 30, 1998, down
from 12.9% for the same period of the previous year.

                                       12

<PAGE>

IN-PROCESS R&D EXPENSE

The in-process R & D expense of $5.9 million in the prior fiscal period is the
value assigned to SunRise Imaging's developmental products. Goodwill was reduced
by a corresponding amount and the remaining goodwill value will be amortized
over varying periods, ranging from three to ten years.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

Income tax expense for the quarter ended September 30, 1998 equaled $.5 million
in comparison to $.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1997. The
Company's tax provision is based on the federal statutory rate of 35% and
reflects the impact of state and foreign taxes.

SIX MONTH PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 COMPARED TO THE SIX MONTH PERIOD 
ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997

TOTAL REVENUES

Total revenues increased 6% to $36.6 million for the six months ended September
30, 1998, up from $34.5 million for the prior year. This $2.1 million revenue
increase is primarily attributable to the Company's acquisitions during fiscal
year 1998. For the first six months of fiscal year 1999, the Company's Boulder
and SunRise divisions together contributed $7.9 million to the increase in total
revenues. Offsetting this increase in revenue is a decline in the Company's AFIS
product line system revenue of $3.9 million due mainly to the implementation of
Statement of Position No. 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition. Resulting in the
delay of revenue recognition on certain contracts expected to be recognized in
the third and fourth quarters of fiscal year 1999. System revenues for TFP
decreased $2.8 million reflecting sales force and product delivery integration
into the Company's Anaheim operations.

Maintenance revenue contributed $1.2 million to the increase in total revenue
for the six months ended September 30, 1998, increasing 19.9% to $7.4 million.
The increase is reflective of an overall expansion of the customer base over 
the prior year.

GROSS PROFIT

Overall gross profit increased 3.4% to $15.8 million for the six months ended
September 30, 1998 in comparison to $15.3 million for the prior year. Gross
margin was 43.1% for the six months ended September 30, 1998, down from 44.3%
for the same prior year period. Gross profit for system revenues increased to
$14.0 million for the six month period ended September 30, 1998 from $12.9
million for the same period of the previous fiscal year. System gross margin
increased to 47.9% for the current period from 45.6% from the same prior year
period. Overall maintenance gross profit decreased $.6 million for the six month
period ended September 30, 1998 from $2.4 million in the prior year to $1.8
million for the current fiscal period. Gross margin related to maintenance
revenues decreased to 24.4% for the first six months of the current year in
comparison to 38.3% for the same previous year period.

The increase in system margin is due mainly to the inclusion of six months of
activity for the Company's SunRise division in the current fiscal year versus
one month of activity in the prior fiscal year, subsequent to acquisition.
SunRise is realizing margins of approximately 60%. Higher margins are also being
realized on the Company's file conversion process. The decrease in the Company's
maintenance margin is due in part to the duplicative resource costs incurred
between AFIS and TFP during the transition of TFP into 

                                       13

Anaheim operations. The decrease in maintenance gross margin is also a result 
of several low margin maintenance contracts the Company's Boulder division 
inherited through acquisition.

RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT AND ENGINEERING

RD&E decreased 24.0% to $3.9 million for the six month period ended September
30, 1998 compared with $5.1 million for the same prior year period. This $1.2
million decrease is primarily the result of an increased allocation of resources
to contract specific tasks, which are classified as cost of revenues, as well as
a reduction in contract labor. RD&E expenses, as a percentage of revenues,
decreased to 10.5% for the six months ended September 30, 1998, down from 14.7%
for the same period of the previous year.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE

SG&A expenses increased 7.2% to $9.9 million for the six month period ended
September 30, 1998, compared with $9.3 million for the same period in fiscal
1998. The increase reflects additional current period costs related to the
Company's Boulder and SunRise divisions acquired in fiscal 1998. SG&A expenses,
as a percentage of revenues, increased slightly to 27.1% for the six months 
ended September 30, 1998 from 26.9% for the six months ended September 30, 
1997.

OTHER (EXPENSE) INCOME

Other expense for the six month period ended September 30, 1998 equaled $161,000
in comparison to other income of $246,000 for the six month period ended
September 30, 1997. Other expense for the six month period ended September 30,
1998 reflects an additional $300,000 of interest expense associated with
additional borrowings under the Company's revolving line of credit, as well as a
decrease of approximately $100,000 in interest income on liquidation of certain
Company investments.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

Income tax expense for the six month period ended September 30, 1998 equaled $.6
million in comparison to expense of $.1 million for the six month period ended
September 30, 1997. The Company's current year tax provision is based on a
statutory rate of 35% and reflects the impact of state and foreign taxes.

BACKLOG

The Company measures its backlog of system revenues as orders for which
contracts or purchase orders have been signed, but for which revenues have not
been recognized. In those instances where revenue is recognized on a percentage
of completion basis, the Company includes in backlog contract revenue not
recognized at the period end. As of September 30, 1998, the Company's system
revenue backlog approximated $35.7 million, compared to $35.6 million as of June
30, 1998 and $36.3 million on September 30, 1997. In addition, the Company's
maintenance revenue backlog approximated $15 million as of September 30, 1998.

In October 1998 the Company entered into the largest contract in its history 
with Siemens Argentina, a $45 million contract to provide automated 
fingerprint technology to the Argentina government as part of their national 
ID program. The production cycle of the six year contract includes delivery 
of the substantial majority of hardware and software during the first two 
years with maintenance commencing during years two through six. Including the 
Argentina order and several other significant orders received in October 
1998, the Company's backlog is currently in excess of $100 million.

                                       14

<PAGE>

Orders comprising the Company's system backlog may include requirements for
custom software development or file conversion that may require extensive
resources to be completed prior to shipment. Any failure of the Company to meet
an agreed upon schedule could lead to the cancellation of the related order. The
Company believes that it is important for competitive reasons and to better
satisfy customer requirements to reduce order lead times. Additionally,
variations in the size, complexity and delivery requirements of customer orders
may result in substantial fluctuations in backlog on a regular basis.
Accordingly, the Company believes that backlog may not be a meaningful indicator
of future financial performance.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments declined from $4.9 million at
March 31, 1998 to $.5 million at September 30, 1998 as a result of a paydown on
the Company's line of credit of $9.0 million. Total inventory levels increased
slightly from $8.2 million at March 31, 1998 to $8.9 million at September 30,
1998 primarily due to the Company's increased backlog of system orders. Prepaid
expenses and other current assets declined $.5 million during the period as a
result of the reduction of a current non-trade receivable.

During the first quarter, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and President,
Richard M. Giles, repaid a $500,000 note associated with the sale of the
building from the Company to a limited liability partnership controlled by Mr.
Giles. As a result, the note receivable from related parties declined from
$558,000 to $66,000.

The decrease in the net balance of property, plant and equipment of $1.1 million
from $5.1 million at March 31, 1998 to $4.0 million at September 30, 1998
reflects capital expenditures of approximately $.7 million, capital deletions of
approximately $.4 million and depreciation expense of $1.4 million.

The decrease in accrued wages and employee benefits is primarily the result of
the number of days of accrued payroll at March 31, 1998 versus September 30,
1998. The reduction in other accrued liabilities is primarily the result of
decreases in warranty and estimated costs to complete reserves due to completion
of vendor obligations on certain contracts as well as the adoption of SOP 97-2.
Additionally, accrued liabilities declined due to the usage of the restructuring
accruals recorded for the integration of TFP and SunRise operations in the
Company's headquarter's in Anaheim, CA. The Company's integration of TFP and
SunRise was substantially completed as of the first quarter of fiscal 1999.

The decline in long-term debt is a result of reduced borrowing levels on the
Company's revolving line of credit as the Company is better able to meet
liquidity needs through funds generated by operations, and also due to the
absence of acquisitions in the current fiscal year.

The $1.6 million increase in deferred revenue is due mainly to payment terms in
advance of revenue recognition on certain new contract signings. This reflects
the Company's strategy of structuring new contracts with more favorable payment
terms.

The increase in income taxes payable from $.5 million at March 31, 1998, to $1.6
million at September 30, 1998, reflects additional provision for income taxes on
net earnings during the current fiscal period.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

                                       15

<PAGE>

The Company finances its operations through the cash provided by its operations
and the utilization of its revolving credit line. The Company's operating
activities provided cash of approximately $4.5 million for the six months ended
September 30, 1998 primarily through net earnings before non-cash depreciation
and amortization, as well as through increases in deferred revenue. The
Company's operating activities used cash of $.7 million for the six months ended
September 30, 1997.

The Company's investing activities provided net cash of $.9 million for the
period ended September 30, 1998 due primarily to the repayment of the $.5
million note receivable from RICOL, LLC, the liquidation of the Company's
short-term investments and offset by capital expenditures. For the period ended
September 30, 1997, the Company's investing activities used cash of
approximately $7.8 million due primarily to cash used to acquire the Boulder
division and SunRise Imaging for $9.6 million and capital expenditures of $.7
million, offset, in part, by the sale of short-term investments which yielded
approximately $2.5 million.

Financing activities used cash of $8.7 million during the six month period ended
September 30, 1998 as a result of the paydown on the Company's revolving credit
line. During the six month period ended September 30, 1997, financing activities
provided approximately $7.3 million, $6.5 million of which reflects proceeds
from long-term debt.

In July 1998, the Company negotiated an arrangement with its bank to refinance
its debt into a $15.0 million revolving credit facility to be used principally
for working capital and a $4.0 million term loan which has been utilized in the
past for acquisitions. During the third quarter of fiscal 1999 the Company
repaid the outstanding principal balance on the term loan and extended the
revolving credit facility to January 4, 2000. The revolving line of credit
agreement contains certain restrictive covenants, which restrict the Company's
ability to pay dividends and requires the Company to maintain minimum tangible
net worth and certain other financial ratios. The Company was in compliance with
these covenants as amended.

The Company believes that the cash generated from operations, as well as the use
of the revolving credit line will provide sufficient resources to fund the
Company through at least the end of fiscal year 1999.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

         Many currently installed information technology ("IT") systems, such as
computer systems and software products, as well as non-IT systems that include
embedded technology, are coded to accept only two digit entries in the date code
field, and thus, were not designed to correctly process dates after December 31,
1999. These date code fields will need to accept four digit entries, or be
modified in some fashion, to distinguish 21st century dates from 20th century
dates. As a result, in less than two years, computer systems and software used
by many companies may need to be upgraded or are being upgraded to comply with
such "Year 2000" requirements.

         The Company has assessed the impact of such "Year 2000" issues on its
products, its internal IT and non-IT systems, as well as on its customers,
suppliers and service providers. The Company has determined that certain of its
internal IT and non-IT systems are not Year 2000 compliant and is currently in
the process of purchasing upgrades or transitioning to systems which the
Company's vendors have represented as being Year 2000 compliant. The Company
believes that with modifications and conversions, the Year 2000 issue can be
managed and the associated risks mitigated. The Company anticipates that its
internal systems will be Year 2000 compliant by June 30, 1999. 

                                       16

<PAGE>

With regard to the Company's products, the Company believes that the current 
versions of all products are Year 2000 compliant. However, certain older 
product versions are not Year 2000 compliant. The Company is in the process 
of notifying its customers of potential Year 2000 compliance problems and 
offering customers the opportunity to purchase upgrades. 

         The Company is unable to control whether its suppliers and service
providers will be Year 2000 compliant. However, the Company has initiated
communications with its significant vendors to determine the extent to which the
Company's operations may be vulnerable to such parties failure to resolve their
own Year 2000 issues. The Company's operations may be affected to the extent
that its vendors are unable to provide services or ship products. Where
practicable, the Company will assess and attempt to mitigate its risks with
respect to failure of those entities to be Year 2000 ready. The Company has not
received responses from all of its significant vendors, and thus, the effect, if
any, on the Company's results of operations from the failure of such parties to
be Year 2000 ready cannot be estimated.

         Although the Company expects its internal systems to be Year 2000
compliant as described above, the Company intends to prepare a contingency plan
that will specify what it plans to do if it or its significant vendors are not
Year 2000 compliant in a timely manner. The Company expects to prepare its
contingency plan in calendar year 1999 following the anticipated completion of
its internal remediation and the assessment of the compliance of the Company's
significant vendors. Even if these plans are completed on time and put in place,
there can be no assurance that such plans will be sufficient to address any
third party failures or that unresolved or undetected internal and external Year
2000 issues will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's business,
financial condition and results of operations.

         While it is difficult to quantify the total cost to the Company of 
the Year 2000 compliance activities, the Company's best estimate of 
expenditures is between $200,000 - $300,000 of which, $100,000 has been spent 
to date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there can be no assurances (a) that 
the representations provided by its third party vendors with respect to Year 
2000 compliance will be accurate, or (b) that the Company will have any 
recourse against such vendors if the representations prove to be inaccurate. 
Furthermore, there can be no assurances that Year 2000-related failure caused 
by third parties, such as utility providers, transportation companies or 
others, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company. There can be 
no guarantee that Year 2000 issues will not have a material impact on the 
Company's business, operating results and financial condition.
