               Notes to Condensed Financial Statements (unaudited)

                                 March 31, 2000

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 after
payment of the Initial Distribution, 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 Key Personnel, --Conflicts of
Interest, --Scarcity of and Competition for Business Combinations, -- No
Agreement for Business Combination or Other Transaction, --Possible Lack of
Diversification, -- Tax Considerations, -- Limited Public Market for Common
Shares, -- Issuance of Additional Shares, -- Possible Adverse Effect of "Penny
Stock" Rules in Liquidity for Post-Sale HRI's Securities, --Risks of Low Priced
Stocks, --Possible Adverse Effect on Rules Affecting "Blank Check Companies" on
the future issuance of Post-Sale HRI Securities, --Certain Anti-Takeover
Provisions, and --No Dividends Anticipated."

Background of HRI

HRI, a Connecticut corporation, was co-founded in 1984 as a robotics
"think-tank" by its chairman, Joseph F. Engelberger. During its early years, the
Company's primary focus was contract engineering and research and development
for third parties. Through the years, however, the focus of the Company has
evolved into the development of commercial applications for autonomous robotic
products with the HelpMate(R) robotic courier, the flagship product of the
Company, becoming its namesake.

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.

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 three month period ended March 31, 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.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Financial Accounting
Standards Board Statement No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS 109").
The Company's net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $7.7 million at
December 31, 1999 expire during the years 2000 through 2013. The related
deferred tax asset has been fully reserved because the ability of the Company to
realize a future tax benefit from its net operating loss carry forwards may be
limited.

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 quarter ended March 31, 2000 decreased by $96,279 from the
quarter ended March 31, 1999. Income from discontinued operations in the quarter
ended March 31, 1999 included the sale of three robots as well as increased
sales of component products.

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 a
net cash distribution of $9,806,815 to its shareholders. Cash on hand at the end
of March was $663,000, which should be adequate to meet the Company's future
working capital requirements.
