               Notes to Condensed Financial Statements (unaudited)

                               September 30, 2000

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Rule 310 of
Regulation S-B. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal
recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been
included in the accompanying unaudited financial statements. Operating results
for the nine month period ended September 30, 2000 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December
31, 2000. For further information, refer to the financial statements and
footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-KSB for the
year ended December 31, 1999.

Basis of Presentation

On December 30, 1999, HelpMate Robotics Inc. (the "Company" or "HRI") completed
the sale for $12,500,000 in cash (the "Sale") to Pyxis Corporation ("Pyxis") of
substantially all of the Company's assets and the assumption by Pyxis of
specified liabilities of the Company pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement
between the Company and Pyxis dated as of October 14, 1999.

The consideration received by the Company was $12,500,000 less certain closing
adjustments and less $1,250,000 which will be held in escrow for a period of two
years and is available to settle potential indemnification claims.

On February 15, 2000, the Company made a cash distribution to the Company's
stockholders of record as of the Distribution Record Date, January 29, 2000, in
the amount of $9,806,815, which was net of $1,776,546 which represented the
proceeds that the Company would have received from the simultaneous cashless
exercise of stock options and warrants.

Business Plan

Following the Sale, the Company's business plan is to effect a business
combination with an operating business which HRI believes has potential to
increase stockholder value. Any such business combination would depend on the
availability of attractive candidates and the Company's ability to consummate
any such business combination. HRI intends to use its available cash together
with additional equity or debt, if any, or a combination thereof, in effecting a
business combination. HRI will endeavor to structure any business combination in
a manner which would not require a substantial capital investment by HRI of the
net proceeds of the Sale. The Company may at any time cease to pursue this
business objective and may consider other alternatives. Reference is made to the
information under the following headings of the Company's Proxy Statement dated
December 17, 1999 (the "Special Meeting Proxy"), which information is
incorporated herein by reference: "Business of the Company Following Proposed
Sale," and "Risk Factors: --No Operating History, --Acquisition Risks,
--Unspecified Business Risks, --Need for Additional Financing, --Regulation,
--Limited Management Resources and Experience, --Ability to Attract and Retain

the future issuance of Post-Sale HRI Securities, --Certain Anti-Takeover
Provisions, and --No Dividends Anticipated."

Background of HRI

Prior to the Sale on December 30, 1999, the Company was primarily engaged in the
design, manufacture and sale of the Company's flagship product, the HelpMate
robotics courier system, a trackless robotic courier used primarily in the
healthcare industry to transport materials. The Company derived revenue from
three principal sources: rentals and sales of HelpMates; sales of robotic
components such as LabMate, LightRanger and BiSight and from research and
development contracts.

New Accounting Standard

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" which establishes
the accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and for
hedging activities. The effective date of SFAS No. 133 (which was deferred
through the issuance of SFAS No.138) is the Company's calendar year commencing
January 1, 2001. This statement is not expected to have a material effect on the
operating results or financial position upon adoption.

Income Taxes

The Company has recorded an income tax benefit resulting from an income tax
refund.

Management's Discussion and Analysis

On December 30, 1999, HRI consummated the Sale of substantially all of its
assets and certain liabilities to Pyxis. Accordingly, the Company is no longer
in the business of manufacturing and selling trackless robotic courier systems.

Results of Operations

Net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000 increased by
$292,727 and $370,484 respectively, over the comparable periods ended September
30, 1999 due to the elimination of the loss from discontinued operations, higher
interest income and income tax refunds. Income tax refunds resulted from actual
income taxes being lower than those estimated at December 31, 1999.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company began 2000 with $10,900,000 in cash as a result of the sale of
substantially all its assets to Pyxis. On February 15, 2000, the Company made
net cash distribution of $9,806,815 to its shareholders. Cash on hand at
September 30, 2000 was approximately $545,000, which should be adequate to meet
the Company's future working capital requirements.
