               Notes to Condensed Financial Statements (unaudited)

                                  June 30, 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 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

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.

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 six month period ended June 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.

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

The loss for the six months ended June 30, 2000 decreased by $77,758 from the
six months ended June 30, 1999 due primarily to higher interest income in 2000.
The loss for the three months ended June 30, 2000 compared to the three months
ended June 30, 1999 decreased $187,703. The loss included the loss from
discontinued operations of $162,404 in the three month period ended June 30,
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 a
net cash distribution of $9,806,815 to its shareholders. Cash on hand at the end
of June was approximately $596,000, which should be adequate to meet the
Company's future working capital requirements.
