                       ZMAX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.    BASIS OF PRESENTATION, ORGANIZATION, AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS:

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

      The accompanying  unaudited  financial  statements have been prepared in
accordance with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include
all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete  financial  statements.  In the opinion of management,
all  adjustments,  consisting  of  normal  recurring  adjustments,  considered
necessary  for  a  fair  presentation  have  been  included.  These  financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of ZMAX
Corporation ("ZMAX" or the "Company"),  as of December 31, 1999, and the notes
thereto  included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed by the Company.  The
results of  operations  for the three  months  ended March 31,  2000,  are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending
December 31, 2000.

      On November 6, 1996,  ZMAX  Corporation,  a shell company ("ZMAX" or the
"Company"),  acquired 100 percent of the  outstanding  common stock of Century
Services,  Inc. ("CSI"),  a Maryland  corporation.  On December 14, 1998, ZMAX
acquired  Eclipse  Information   Systems,   Inc.   ("Eclipse"),   an  Illinois
corporation.  On October 1, 1999, ZMAX acquired Parker Management Consultants,
Inc. ("PMC"),  a Delaware  corporation.  As of March 31, 2000, the Company had
operations in Maryland, Illinois,  Minnesota, Texas and Ohio. The accompanying
consolidated  financial  statements  include  the  accounts  of  the  acquired
entities  since  their  respective  dates  of  acquisition.   All  significant
intercompany amounts have been eliminated.

NATURE OF OPERATIONS

      During 1998 and 1997, the Company's  revenue was derived  primarily from
millennium  services,  the  primary  business  of  CSI  at  the  time  of  its
acquisition. In December 1998, the Company expanded its operations through the
acquisition of Eclipse.  Eclipse performs  management and information  systems
consulting  services.   In  October  1999,  the  Company  again  expanded  its
operations  through the  acquisition of PMC. PMC also performs  management and
information systems consulting services.

      During 1999,  the Company began to shift away from  millennium  services
and into management and information systems consulting,  with a specific focus
on the  Internet.  ZMAX  currently  specializes  in  providing  strategic  and
technical  expertise  in the realm of  e-business  and during the period ended
March 31, 2000 had no revenues related to millennium services.

      In conjunction  with the Company's shift to e-business,  the Company has
established  a  new  subsidiary,   WidePoint,  Corporation  ("WidePoint"),  an
operating  company.  The Company intends to consolidate the operations of CSI,
Eclipse and PMC into the WidePoint  subsidiary  and expects to change the name
of the Company from ZMAX to WidePoint.


                                      4

<PAGE>

      The Company's operations are subject to certain risks and uncertainties,
including among others,  rapidly  changing  technology;  current and potential
competitors with greater  financial,  technological,  production and marketing
resources;  reliance  on certain  significant  customers;  the need to develop
additional  products and services;  the  integration  of acquired  businesses;
dependence  upon  strategic  alliances;  the  need  for  additional  technical
personnel;  dependence  on key  management  personnel;  management  of growth;
uncertainty of future  profitability;  and possible  fluctuations in financial
results.  The  Company may also  require  additional  capital  that may not be
available to it.

2.    SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

      Investments  with  original  maturities  of  three  months  or less  are
considered  cash  equivalents  for  purposes of these  consolidated  financial
statements. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents with various major
financial institutions. At March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999, cash and cash
equivalents included $2,522,781 and $2,867,950, respectively of investments in
overnight  sweep  accounts.   At  times,   cash  balances  held  at  financial
institutions  were in excess of federally  insured limits.  The Company places
its  temporary  cash   investments   with   high-credit,   quality   financial
institutions,  and as a  result,  the  Company  believes  that no  significant
concentration of credit risk exists with respect to these cash investments.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

      Revenue on  time-and-materials  contracts is recognized based upon hours
incurred at contract rates plus direct costs. Revenue on fixed-price contracts
is recognized on the  percentage-of-completion  method based on costs incurred
in relation to total  estimated  costs.  Anticipated  losses are recognized as
soon as they become  known.  Provisions  for estimated  losses on  uncompleted
contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. Unbilled
accounts receivable on  time-and-materials  contracts represent costs incurred
and gross  profit  recognized  near the  period-end  but not billed  until the
following  period.  Unbilled  accounts  receivable  on  fixed-price  contracts
consist of amounts incurred that are not yet billable under contract terms. At
March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999,  unbilled  accounts  receivable  totaled
$39,959 and $198,773, respectively.

SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMERS

      During the three months ended March 31, 2000, two customers individually
represented  11% and 10%,  respectively,  of revenue.  During the three months
ended March 31, 1999,  two  customers  individually  represented  16% and 10%,
respectively,  of revenue. Due to the nature of the Company's business and the
relative  size  of  certain  contracts,  the  loss of any  single  significant
customer  could have a material  adverse  effect on the  Company's  results of
operations.


                                      5

<PAGE>

CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK

      Financial  instruments  that  potentially  subject the Company to credit
risk consist of cash and cash  equivalents and accounts  receivable.  Accounts
receivable  includes  amounts due from relatively large companies in a variety
of industries.  As of March 31, 2000, two customers  represented  24% and 10%,
respectively,  of accounts  receivable.  As of March 31,  1999,  no  customers
individually represented more than 10 percent of accounts receivable.

INCOME TAXES

      The Company  accounts for income taxes in accordance  with  Statement of
Financial  Accounting  Standards  ("SFAS")  No.  109,  "Accounting  for Income
Taxes." Under SFAS No.109,  deferred tax assets and  liabilities  are computed
based on the difference  between the financial  statement and income tax bases
of assets and  liabilities  using the enacted  marginal tax rate. SFAS No. 109
requires  that the net deferred tax asset be reduced by a valuation  allowance
if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that
some portion or all of the net deferred tax asset will not be realized.

BASIC AND DILUTED NET LOSS PER SHARE

      In March 1997, the Financial  Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share." SFAS No. 128 requires dual presentation of
basic and diluted earnings per share.  Basic income or loss per share includes
no  dilution   and  is  computed  by  dividing  net  income  or  loss  by  the
weighted-average  number of common shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted
income or loss per share  includes the potential  dilution that could occur if
securities  or other  contracts  to  issue  common  stock  were  exercised  or
converted into common stock. The treasury stock effect of options and warrants
to purchase  2,983,500 and  1,678,300  shares of common stock  outstanding  at
March  31,  2000  and  1999,  respectively,  has  not  been  included  in  the
calculation  of the  net  loss  per  share  as such  effect  would  have  been
antidilutive.  Outstanding shares subject to cancellation  agreements have not
been included in either the basic or diluted  calculation  for the three month
period  ended March 31,  1999.  During the three month  period ended March 31,
2000, there were no outstanding shares subject to cancellation agreements.  As
a result of these items,  the basic and diluted loss per share for all periods
presented are identical.

3.    DEBT:

PROMISSORY NOTE PAYABLE

      In  conjunction  with the PMC  acquisition,  the  Company  issued a $3.0
million note payable to the sole  shareholder  of PMC.  This $3.0 million note
payable  accrues  interest  at a rate of 6 percent  per annum.  The  principal
payments are due in $1.0  million  installments  on October 1, 2000,  2001 and
2002.  Interest  payments  related to this note are due on a  quarterly  basis
commencing on December 31, 1999. The Company has imputed interest on this note
at 8.5 percent and as a result, has recorded a discount on the promissory note
payable of  approximately  $167,000.  This discount is being  amortized on the
effective  interest  method over the term of the note.  As of March 31,  2000,
approximately $43,000 of this discount had been amortized.


                                      6

<PAGE>

4.    STOCK SUBJECT TO CANCELLATION:

      In September 1995, ZMAX entered into stock cancellation  agreements with
certain  stockholders  that provided for the cancellation of 775,808 shares of
ZMAX common stock. In March 1997, 296,007 of these shares were returned to the
Company and  canceled.  An  additional  312,500  shares  were  returned to the
Company and canceled in December 1998. The remaining  167,301 were returned to
the Company and canceled in April 1999.

5.    STOCK WARRANTS

      On September 20, 1999,  the Company  entered in a two-year  agreement to
engage an international investment banking firm to provide investment banking,
mergers and acquisitions and strategic planning services.  In conjunction with
the hiring of this firm,  the Company  issued them a stock warrant to purchase
200,000  shares of ZMAX  common  stock at $2.75  per  share,  an  amount  that
exceeded  the stock's  closing  sale price on that date.  The Company used the
Black-Scholes  option  pricing  model to value this stock  warrant  and it was
determined  to have a fair  value of  approximately  $140,000,  which is being
recognized ratably over the term of the agreement.  This deferred compensation
has been reflected as a separate  component of stockholders'  equity and as of
March 31, 2000,  approximately  $37,000 of expense had been recognized related
to the issuance of this stock warrant.

      On October 1,  1999,  the  Company  issued a stock  warrant to  purchase
200,000  shares of ZMAX  common  stock at $5.00  per  share,  an  amount  that
exceeded  the  stock's  closing  sale price on that  date,  as part of the PMC
acquisition.  The Company used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value
this stock warrant at approximately $140,000. This value has been reflected as
part of stock warrants in the stockholders' equity section of the consolidated
balance  sheet  and  has  been  included  as part  of the  Company's  purchase
accounting for the PMC acquisition.

6.    COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

LITIGATION

      In December  1999, a  third-party  complaint  was filed against PMC by a
former client. The complaint alleged,  among other things,  breach of contract
pertaining  to  an  Enterprise  Resource  Planning   implementation.   In  the
complaint,  the former client is seeking  approximately $10.0 million in total
damages.  The  complaint  relates  to work  completed  prior to the  Company's
acquisition  of PMC and, under the terms of the purchase  agreement,  the sole
shareholder of PMC, has indemnified the Company against damages related to the
complaint.  The sole  shareholder  of PMC has  engaged  counsel and intends to
vigorously  defend against this complaint.  In the opinion of management,  the
Company will not incur a material loss related to this legal matter.

      The  Company is  periodically  a party to disputes  arising  from normal
business activities. In the opinion of management, resolution of these matters
will not have a material adverse effect upon the financial  position or future
operating  results of the Company,  and adequate  provision  for any potential
losses has been made in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 2.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
               OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

      The following  discussion  and analysis of the  financial  condition and
results of operations of the Company  should be read in  conjunction  with the
financial  statements  and the notes  thereto  which appear  elsewhere in this
quarterly  report and the  Company's  Annual  Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 1999.

      The  information  set forth below includes  forward-looking  statements.
Certain  factors  that could  cause  results to differ  materially  from those
projected in the forward-looking  statements are set forth below.  Readers are
cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements. The Company
disclaims any intent or obligation to update  publicly  these  forward-looking
statements,  whether  as  a  result  of  new  information,  future  events  or
otherwise.

OVERVIEW

      ZMAX  Corporation  ("ZMAX"  or  the  "Company")  focuses  on  acquiring,
building  and  operating  companies  in  the  information   technology  ("IT")
industry.  In 1996,  the Company  acquired  all of the  outstanding  shares of
Century Services, Inc. ("CSI"), a corporation that provided re-engineering and
information  processing services to users of large-scale  computer systems. In
December 1998, the Company  acquired all of the outstanding  shares of Eclipse
Information  Systems,  Inc. ("EIS"), a corporation that provides IT consulting
services through several  practice areas focused in distributed  client server
technologies.  In October 1999,  the Company  acquired all of the  outstanding
shares of Parker  Management  Consulting,  Ltd.  ("PMC"),  a corporation  that
provides  IT  consulting  services  focused in  Enterprise  Resource  Planning
("ERP"). During 1999, the Company established a new subsidiary named WidePoint
Corporation  ("WidePoint")  with  the  intent  of  consolidating  all  of  the
Company's IT services into this subsidiary in 2000.  Further, it is the intent
of the Company at its Annual Meeting of  Shareholders in May 2000 to vote upon
a motion to change the name of the Company from ZMAX to WidePoint.

      On October 1, 1999, ZMAX acquired all of the  outstanding  capital stock
of PMC.  The  results  of  operations  of PMC are  included  in the  financial
statements of ZMAX from the date of acquisition. Prior to the acquisition, PMC
was a  privately  held  company  with  its  headquarters  located  in  Laurel,
Maryland.  A  further  description  of this  transaction  is set  forth in the
Company's  Form 8-K/A filed on December  15,  1999,  with the  Securities  and
Exchange Commission ("SEC").

      On December 14, 1998, ZMAX acquired all of the outstanding capital stock
of Eclipse.  The results of  operations  of EIS are included in the  financial
statements  of ZMAX from the date of  acquisition.  Prior to the  acquisition,
Eclipse  was a  privately  held  company  with  its  headquarters  located  in


                                      8

<PAGE>

Oakbrook,  Illinois. A further description of this transaction is set forth in
the Form  8-K/A  filed on March 1,  1999,  with the SEC.  Eclipse  markets  IT
consulting  services to a variety of commercial  companies through a series of
technology  practices  that  specialize  in  delivering  solutions  focused in
distributed  client  server  environments.  Eclipse  provides  services in ERP
solutions,  internet and intranet solutions,  network solutions, client server
solutions, and AS/400 solutions.

      On November 6, 1996, ZMAX acquired all of the outstanding  stock of CSI.
Through 1999, CSI marketed  millennium services to a variety of commercial and
governmental  organizations.  In  2000,  CSI  plans  to  further  develop  its
expertise  with large  scale  systems in  Enterprise  Application  Integration
("EAI") and market those services  through the Company's  WidePoint  operating
subsidiary.

      In the next 12 months,  the Company intends to integrate the services of
PMC, Eclipse, and CSI into WidePoint and pursue other potentially  synergistic
acquisitions.  Further,  the Company  intends to expand the services of all of
its  subsidiaries  through  the  opening of other  offices  in key  geographic
markets.  Additionally,  the  Company  intends  to  make  investments  in  the
expansion and further  development  of additional IT services and markets.  In
view  of  these  investments,   the  Company  believes  the   period-to-period
comparisons of its financial results are not necessarily meaningful and should
not be relied upon as an indication of future  performance.  Specifically,  as
the Company  increases  its  investments  in other IT services,  it will incur
training, salary and other costs prior to the recognition of related revenues.
In addition,  most of the Company's revenues are expected to be derived from a
relatively small number of large-scale,  comprehensive projects. Consequently,
the  Company's  revenues and operating  results may be subject to  substantial
fluctuations in any given year and from quarter to quarter.

      For the quarter ended March 31, 2000, the Company's  revenues  decreased
$1.1 million to $4.0 million as compared to $5.1 million for the quarter ended
March 31,  1999.  For the  quarter  ended  March  31,  2000 no  revenues  were
generated by CSI's  millennium  services as compared to $2.1 million or 42% of
revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 1999. The decrease in revenues during
the  quarter  ended  March  31,  2000  was   partially   offset  by  increased
non-millennium  services. As a result of this significant and planned shift in
the  Company's  revenues  away  from  millennium  services  and into  other IT
services,  the  Company  believes  the  period-to-period  comparisons  of  its
financial results are not necessarily meaningful and should not be relied upon
as an indication of future performance.

      Most of the Company's current cost structure  consists  primarily of the
salaries  and  benefits  paid  to  the  Company's  technical,   marketing  and
administrative  personnel.  Amortization and  depreciation  expenses relate to
property,  equipment and intangible  assets. As a result of its plan to expand
its operations  through internal growth and acquisitions,  the Company expects
these costs to increase.

      The Company's  profitability depends upon both the volume of service and
the Company's  ability to manage costs.  Because a significant  portion of the
Company's cost structure is related to salaries and benefits, the Company must
effectively manage these costs to achieve profitability.  In addition, certain


                                      9

<PAGE>

of the Company's  projects are priced on a fixed fee basis. The  profitability
on an individual  fixed fee project depends upon completing the project within
the estimated  number of staff hours and within the agreed upon time frame. To
date,  the Company has typically  been able to maintain its operating  margins
through efficiencies  achieved completing fixed fee projects within budget, by
offsetting increases in consultant salaries with increases in consultant fees,
and by effectively managing general overhead costs.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FOR THE THREE MONTHS  ENDED MARCH 31, 2000  COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED
MARCH 31, 1999

      REVENUES.  Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2000, were $4.0
million,  a decrease of  approximately  $1.1  million,  or 22%, as compared to
revenues  of $5.1  million for the three month  period  ended March 31,  1999.
However, non-millennium services increased 33% from $3.0 million for the three
months  ended March 31, 1999 to $4.0  million for the three months ended March
31,  2000.  The 33% increase in  non-millennium  services for the three months
ended March 31, 2000 was  primarily  attributable  to  increased  sales of web
enabled services and revenues generated by the Company's PMC subsidiary.

      GROSS  PROFIT.  Gross  profit for the three months ended March 31, 2000,
was $1.8  million,  or 45% of revenues,  a decrease of $0.9 million over gross
profit of $2.7 million,  or 52% of revenues,  for the three months ended March
31,  1999.  The  decline of gross  profit was  attributable  to lower  margins
associated with the  introduction of new web enabled  services,  lower margins
traditionally  on IT  consulting  services as  compared to the higher  margins
associated  with  millennium  services,  and a cost overrun  associated with a
fixed price project that was accounted for in accordance with Company policy.

      SALES AND MARKETING.  Sales and marketing  expenses for the three months
ended March 31, 2000,  were $0.7 million,  or 17% of revenues,  an increase of
$0.2 million, as compared to $0.5 million,  or 11% of revenues,  for the three
months ended March 31, 1999. The increase in sales and marketing  expenses for
the  first  three  months  of  2000  was  primarily  attributable  to  further
investments in marketing efforts related to the Company's new services and the
cost associated with the development of sales and marketing  materials for the
Company's WidePoint subsidiary.

      GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE.  General and administrative expenses for the
three months ended March 31, 2000, were $2.7 million,  or 69% of revenues,  an
increase of $0.9  million,  as compared to $1.8  million,  or 36% of revenues,
incurred  by the  Company  for the three  months  ended  March 31,  1999.  The
increase in general and  administrative  expenses  for the three  months ended
March  31,  2000  was  primarily  attributable  to  increases  in  management,
infrastructure,  and training costs  associated with the  consolidation of the
Company's  separate  business units into a new operating  company and the cost
associated  with the shift away from  millennium  services and into management
and information systems consulting.

      DEPRECIATION AND  AMORTIZATION.  Depreciation and amortization  expenses
for the three  months  ended  March 31,  2000,  were  $0.3  million,  or 6% of
revenues,  a decrease of $0.1  million,  as  compared to $0.4  million of such
expenses,  or 8% of  revenues,  incurred by the  Company for the three  months
ended March 31, 1999. The decrease in depreciation and  amortization  expenses
for the three months ended March 31, 2000 was  primarily  attributable  to the
write-off  of  certain   intangible   assets  associated  with  the  Company's
millennium services during the first quarter of 1999.

      OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE). Interest income for the three months ended March
31, 2000, was $34,000,  or 0.9% of revenues,  a decrease of $3,000 as compared
to $37,000, or 0.7% of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1999. The
decrease  in  interest  income for the three  months  ended March 31, 2000 was
primarily  attributable  to lesser amounts of cash available for investment in
overnight  sweep accounts.  Interest  expense for the three months ended March
31, 2000 was  $69,000.  Interest  expense for the three months ended March 31,
1999 was $2,000.  The increase in interest  expense for the three months ended
March 31, 2000 was  primarily  attributable  to the issuance of a $3.0 million
promissory note with an imputed interest rate of 8.5% per annum which has been
included as part of the purchase price paid by the Company in conjunction with
its acquisition of PMC in October 1999.

      EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization)
As a result of the above, the EBITDA loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2000
was $1.6 million.  This represents an increased loss in EBITDA of $1.7 million
as compared to the EBITDA of $0.1  million  for the quarter  ending  March 31,
1999.

      NET INCOME (LOSS).  As a result of the above, the net loss for the three
months ended March 31, 2000,  was $1.9 million,  an increase of  approximately
$1.7 million,  as compared to the net loss of  approximately  $0.2 million for
the three months ended March 31, 1999.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

      The Company has,  since  inception,  financed its operations and capital
expenditures  through  the sale of stock,  seller  notes,  convertible  notes,
convertible  exchangeable  debentures and the proceeds from the exchange offer
and  exercise  of  the  warrants  related  to  the  convertible   exchangeable
debentures.  Cash used in operating activities for the quarter ended March 31,
2000, was approximately $1.3 million as compared to approximately $0.7 million
for the quarter ended March 31, 1999.  The increase in cash used in operations
during the first  quarter of 2000 was  primarily a result of the net loss from
the  Company's  operations  and a decrease  in  accounts  payable  and accrued
expenses  related to the payment of year-end  bonuses and various  other costs
related  to the  establishment  of the  Company's  new  operating  subsidiary,
WidePoint.  Capital  expenditures  on property and equipment were $0.1 million
for the quarters ended March 31, 2000, and 1999.

      As of March 31, 2000, the Company had working  capital of  approximately
$4.3  million.   The  Company's  primary  source  of  liquidity   consists  of
approximately $3.0 million in cash and cash equivalents and approximately $3.8
million of accounts receivable. The Company's current liabilities include $1.9

million in accounts  payable and accrued expenses and the current portion of a
note  payable  of  $1.0  million  due  October  1,  2000  related  to the  PMC
acquisition.

      The market for the  Company's  products is expanding  and the  Company's
business environment is characterized by rapid technological changes. In 1999,
the Company began to shift away from millennium services and is in the process
of  consolidating  its current  subsidiaries  and establishing a new operating
subsidiary named WidePoint.  The Company requires  substantial working capital
to fund  these  events as well as to fund the future  growth of its  business,
particularly to finance accounts receivable,  sales and marketing efforts, and
capital  expenditures.  The Company  currently has no commitments  for capital
expenditures.  The Company's future capital  requirements  will depend on many
factors including the rate of revenue growth, if any, the timing and extent of
spending for new product and service development,  technological  changes, and
market  acceptance of the Company's  services.  The Company  believes that its
current  cash  position  is  sufficient  to meet its capital  expenditure  and
working  capital  requirements  for the near  term;  however,  the  growth and
technological  change  make it  difficult  for the  Company to predict  future
liquidity requirements with certainty.  Over the longer term, the Company must
successfully  execute its plans to generate significant positive cash flows if
it is to sustain adequate  liquidity without impairing growth or requiring the
infusion of additional  funds from  external  sources.  Additionally,  a major
expansion, such as would occur with the acquisition of a major new subsidiary,
might also require  external  financing that could include  additional debt or
equity  capital.  There can be no  assurance  that  additional  financing,  if
required, will be available on acceptable terms, if at all.

OTHER

      Inflation has not had a significant effect on the Company's  operations,
as  increased  costs to the Company  have  generally  been offset by increased
prices of services sold.

      The  preparation  of financial  statements in conformity  with generally
accepted  accounting  principles  requires  management  to make  estimates and
assumptions  that affect the reported  amounts of assets and  liabilities  and
disclosure of contingent  assets and  liabilities at the date of the financial
statements  and the  reported  amounts of  revenues  and  expenses  during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

      This  report  contains  forward-looking  statements  setting  forth  the
Company's   beliefs  or   expectations   relating  to  future   revenues   and
profitability. Actual results may differ materially from projected or expected
results due to changes in the demand for the Company's  products and services,
uncertainties  relating to the results of operations,  dependence on its major
customers,  risks associated with rapid technological  change and the emerging
services market,  potential  fluctuations in quarterly results, its dependence
on key employees and other risks and  uncertainties  affecting the  technology
industry generally.  The Company disclaims any intent or obligation to up-date
publicly  these  forward-looking  statements,  whether  as  a  result  of  new
information, future events or otherwise.
