         ITEM 5: OTHER EVENTS.

         Sabratek Corporation ("Sabratek") announced that its second-quarter
earnings are expected to be significantly lower than the consensus Wall Street
estimate of $.07 per share. Sabratek expects to release its second quarter
results on or about August 12, 1999.

         In addition, Sabratek announced that its Board of Directors is
reviewing, and is prepared to implement, strategic options, which may include a
rights offering and an initial public offering, in order to realize the full
value of Sabratek's newly-acquired subsidiary, Unitron Medical Communications,
Inc., also known as OneMedPlace.com. Sabratek is engaging investment bankers to
advise it on such options.

         Finally, Sabratek announced that its Board of Directors had approved a
broad reorganization of its operations to reflect its increasing focus on
products and services related to clinical connectivity. As part of the
reorganization, Sabratek will be divided into three operating divisions, each
headed by a group president reporting to a new corporate office of the
president. The three divisions will be medical devices and related supplies,
services and the Company's Internet portal site, OneMedPlace.com. In connection
with the reorganization, Sabratek stated that it had reviewed Corporate wide
policies and procedures to ensure uniformity among the operating divisions.
