cardiac output monitor development and its limited financial capabilities. The
Company engaged Manchester Companies, Inc. ("Manchester"), a Minneapolis-based
advisory and investment-banking firm, to sell the Company's remaining corporate
assets and to perform the final termination of its operations. In concert with
the decision to engage Manchester, two of the Company's four directors resigned
their Board positions and a representative of Manchester was elected as interim
Chief Executive Officer. The Company's former Chief Executive Officer continues
as a Director. The Company will attempt to sell its intellectual property and
corporate shell and conduct a final liquidation of its assets.

liquidation date are provided to the extent reasonably determinable.

compensation charge of $153,000 related to stock granted to the Company's three
non-employee directors for prior and current board service. Non-employee
directors of the Company served without cash compensation.

Research and development expenses were $1,500,000 for the 2000 eight-month
period as compared to $972,000 in the 1999 nine-month period. In conjunction
