To Our Stockholders:
HelpMate Robotics Inc. ("Company") previously distributed to its stockholders
the Company's Proxy Statement dated April 18, 1997 (the "Proxy Statement")
with respect to the 1997 Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on May 20,
1997. Proposal 3 described in the Proxy Statement is a proposal seeking
stockholder approval to amend and restate the Company's existing 1995 Amended
and Restated stock Option Plan. A copy of the plan in the form in which it is
proposed to be so amended and restated (the "Plan") was to be attached as
Annex 1 to the Proxy Statement. Unfortunately, Annex 1 was not so attached to
the Proxy Statement. We are attaching to this letter a copy of the Annex 1
which was inadvertently omitted from the proxy Statement. All references to
Annex 1 in the Proxy Statement should be read to mean the Annex 1 attached to
this letter. We regret any inconvenience this may have caused our
stockholders.
