AUDITORS' REPORT


To the Shareholders of
IQ Power Technology Inc.
(a development stage company)


We have audited the balance  sheets of IQ Power  Technology  Inc. (a development
stage  company) as at December 31, 1998 and 1997 and the  statements of loss and
deficit  and cash  flow for each of the  years in the three  year  period  ended
December  31, 1998 and the  cumulative  from date of  inception  to December 31,
1998.  These  financial  statements  are  the  responsibility  of the  Company's
management.  Our  responsibility  is to express  an  opinion on these  financial
statements based on our audits.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards  require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain
reasonable  assurance  whether  the  financial  statements  are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.

In our opinion,  these  financial  statements  present  fairly,  in all material
respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 1998 and 1997
and the  results of its  operations  and cash flows for each of the years in the
three year  period  ended  December  31,  1998 and the  cumulative  from date of
inception  to  December  31,  1998  in  accordance  with  accounting  principles
generally accepted in Canada applied on a consistent basis.

Comments by Auditors for U.S. Readers on Canada
- - U.S. Reporting Conflict

To the Directors of
IQ Power Technology Inc.

In the United States,  reporting  standards for auditors require the addition of
an  explanatory  paragraph  (following the opinion  paragraph)  when the auditor
concludes  that  there is  substantial  doubt  about the  entities'  ability  to
continue  as a going  concern  such  as  described  in  Note 2 of the  financial
statements.  Our report to the shareholders dated April 30, 1999 is expressed in
accordance with Canadian reporting standards, which do not permit a reference to
such an uncertainty in the auditors'  report when the  uncertainty is adequately
disclosed in the financial statements.

IQ POWER TECHNOLOGY INC.
(a development stage company)
Notes to the Financial Statements
(Expressed in U.S. Dollars)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


1.   NATURE OF BUSINESS

     IQ Power Technology Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated  under the Canada
     Business  Corporations  Act on December  20,  1994.  The Company  commenced
     operations on June 21, 1996. The Company's  current business strategy is to
     acquire  100%  interest  in iQ  Battery  Research  &  Development  GmbH (iQ
     Germany)  which is  legally  domiciled  in Floha,  Germany.  The  Company's
     strategic   objectives  include  the  commercial   exploitation  of  a  new
     generation of computer optimized vehicle batteries researched and developed
     by IQ Germany.


2.   CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS

     These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The
     company's  ability to continue  as a going  concern is  dependent  upon the
     ability of the Company to attain  future  profitable  operations  and/or to
     obtain  the  necessary  financing  to meet its  obligations  and  repay its
     liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. The
     Company plans to raise a maximum of $4,690,000 to a minimum of  $2,440,000,
     net of commissions and costs of issue, through the issuance of 5,500,000 or
     3,000,000  shares of common stock pursuant to a Registration  Statement and
     prospectus  on Form SB-1.  The Company  intends to use the proceeds to fund
     research  and  development  of  iQ  Germany,  expansion  of  the  Company's
     marketing and sales activities and general working capital.


3.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     These financial  statements have been prepared in accordance with generally
     accepted  accounting  principles  in  Canada,  which  for  these  financial
     statements  conform with those in the United  States  except as outlined in
     Note 9.

     (a)  Foreign currency translation

          The Company is a Canadian  corporation but considers the United States
          dollar to be the  appropriate  functional  currency for the  Company's
          operations  and  these  financial  statements.  Accordingly,  for  the
          purposes of preparing  these  financial  statements,  transactions  in
          Canadian  dollars and German  deutsche  marks have been  measured into
          United States  dollars so that  monetary  assets and  liabilities  are
          translated  at the rate in effect at the  balance  sheet  date.  Other
          balance  sheet items and revenues and expenses are  translated  at the
          rates prevailing on the respective  transaction dates.  Exchange gains
          and losses  related to current  monetary items are included in income.
          Exchange gains and losses  related to  non-current  monetary items are
          deferred and amortized over the remaining lives of the monetary items.

     (b)  Estimates and assumptions

          The  preparation of financial  statements in conformity with generally
          accepted  accounting  principles  require 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  amount of revenues
          and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ
          from those estimates.

3.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

     (c)  Investments

          Investments in iQ Battery  Research & Development  GmbH are carried at
          cost,  less any  impairment  which  is  determined  to be  other  than
          temporary.  On a quarterly  basis,  the Company reviews its investment
          for any  impairment.  In the period since the  investment was acquired
          there has been no indication of a permanent impairment.

     (d)  Cash and cash equivalents

          Cash and cash equivalents  consist of cash on hand, deposits in banks,
          deposits  in trust,  and highly  liquid  investments  with an original
          maturity of three months or less.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
</TABLE>


     During the year ended  December  31,  1998,  the Company  issued  3,709,683
     shares  for cash  (December  31,  1997 -  1,969,740)  pursuant  to  private
     placements of $0.25 per share.

     During the year ended December 31, 1998, the Company issued shares pursuant
     to a share exchange agreement dated August 25, 1998 with iQ Germany whereby
     the shareholders of iQ Germany sold and transferred their iQ Germany shares
     to the  Company  for, in the  aggregate,  10,000,000  common  shares of the
     Company for deemed proceeds of $2,500,000.  The  shareholders of iQ Germany
     have the option to cancel the share  exchange  agreement  if after the four
     month  anniversary  of the  initial  filing by IQ Canada of a  registration
     statement  on Form SB-1 with the  United  States  Securities  and  Exchange
     Commission  (a) IQ Canada has failed to  complete an equity  offering  with
     gross  proceeds  of at  least  $3,000,000  and (b) the  shareholders  of iQ
     Germany  have repaid to IQ Canada the full amount of all funds  advanced to
     iQ Germany.  The option shall  terminate and shall not be exercisable as of
     such date that IQ Canada  shall  complete  an equity  financing  with gross
     proceeds of not less than $3,000,000;

     The Company also entered into share  exchange  agreements in September 1998
     under  which  2,800,000  common  shares of the  Company  were issued to the
     holders of Atypical  Shares of iQ Germany.  Atypical  Shares means  certain
     shares of iQ  Germany  which  are not part of the  ordinary  capital  of IQ
     Germany and were issued  pursuant to agreements  between iQ Germany and the
     holders of those shares under German tax incentives.  The Company's  common
     shares and the Atypical  shares will be held in escrow until  completion of
     the  offering.  The share  exchange  will not be  completed  if the  option
     referred to above is exercised.

4.   SHARE CAPITAL (Continued)

     The  business  combination  at the  expiration  of the put  option  will be
     accounted  for as a reverse  takeover as iQ Germany is determined to be the
     acquirer.  Due to the put rights and the reverse  takeover  accounting  the
     investment has been recorded at the deemed proceeds of $3,200,000.

     Also  during  December  1998,  2,875,000  stock  options  were  granted  to
     employees at an exercise  price of $1.00 with an expiry date of December 1,
     2008. All shares vested on the date of grant.


5.   FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

     The Company's  financial  instruments  include cash,  accounts  receivable,
     prepaids  and  deposits,  travel  advances,  accounts  payable  and accrued
     liabilities, due to shareholder and share subscriptions,  the fair value of
     such  financial  instruments   approximates  carrying  values  due  to  the
     short-term  to maturity of the  financial  instruments  and  similarity  to
     market  rates.  The  Company  is  exposed  to  currency  risk in respect of
     financial  instruments.  Currency  risk  is the  risk  that  the  value  of
     financial  instruments  will  fluctuate due to changes in foreign  exchange
     rates. The Company does not attempt to hedge currency risk.

     The fair  value of the  advances  to iQ  Germany  is  $799,041,  based on a
     discount factor of 8% and an anticipated term of 1 year.


6.   RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     Related  party  transactions  and balances not  disclosed  elsewhere in the
     financial statements include:

     (a)  management  fees of $51,290  (1997 - $43,198) paid to a company with a
          common director;

     (b)  a lawyer was appointed  secretary of the Company effective December 1,
          1998.  The law firm of which this officer is a partner  provided legal
          services  to the  Company  for fees of  $34,411  during  1998  (1997 -
          $16,445);

     (c)  at December 31, 1998, accounts payable and accrued liabilities include
          $35,363 due to a company with a common director; and

     (d)  issuance  of 236,213  common  shares at a price of $0.25 per share for
          proceeds of $59,053 to a company with a common director.


7.   UNCERTAINTY DUE TO THE YEAR 2000 ISSUE

     The Company may experience  the effects of the Year 2000 issue before,  on,
     or after  January  1,  2000,  and the impact on  operations  and  financial
     reporting,  if not  addressed,  may range from minor errors to  significant
     systems failure which could affect the Company's  ability to conduct normal
     business  operations.  It is not possible to be certain that all aspects of
     the Year 2000 issue  affecting the Company,  including those related to the
     efforts of  customers,  suppliers,  or other third  parties,  will be fully
     resolved.

8.   COMMITMENTS

     The Company has entered into the following contractual arrangements:

     (a)  a consulting  agreement  dated August 25, 1998 with a company having a
          common  director.  Under the terms of the  agreement  the  Company  is
          obligated to pay the  consultant  $6,000 per month for a term of three
          years commencing August 25, 1998;

     (b)  employment  agreements with two directors of the Company to occupy the
          positions of President and Chief Executive Officer and Vice President,
          Research and  Development  and Technical  Advisor.  Under the terms of
          these  agreements  the  Company is  obligated  to pay these  employees
          $8,500 and $8,000  per month,  respectively,  for a term of five years
          commencing August 31, 1998;

     (c)  an employment  agreement  with the  Vice-President,  Finance and Chief
          Financial  Officer.  Under the terms of the agreement,  the Company is
          obligated to pay this employee  $7,000 per month for a term of 3 years
          commencing September 1, 1998.


9.   DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CANADIAN AND UNITED STATES
     GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

     (a)  Accounting for income taxes

          U.S.  GAAP  requires,  pursuant to Statement  of Financial  Accounting
          Standards  ("SFAS")  No.  109,  that a  deferred  tax asset  amount be
          recognized for loss carry-forwards.  Although the Company has Canadian
          non-capital  tax  loss  carry-forwards,   due  to  uncertainty  as  to
          utilization  prior to their  expiry,  the deferred  tax asset  amounts
          would  have been  completely  offset in these  consolidated  financial
          statements by a valuation provision.

     (b)  Recent accounting pronouncements

          (i)  In June 1997,  the Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board issued
               SFAS No. 130, "Reporting  Comprehensive  Income",  which requires
               that an enterprise  report,  by major  components and as a single
               total,  the  change in its net  assets  during  the  period  from
               non-owner sources; and SFAS No. 131,  "Disclosures About Segments
               of an  Enterprise  and  Related  Information"  which  establishes
               annual  and  interim  reporting  standards  for  an  enterprise's
               business  segments and related  disclosures  about its  products,
               services,  geographic  areas,  and major  customers.  Adoption of
               these  statements  did  not  impact  the  Company's  consolidated
               financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

          (ii) In June 1998,  the Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board issued
               SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative  Instruments and Hedging
               Activities",  which  standardizes  the  accounting for derivative
               instruments. SFAS No. 133 is effective for all fiscal quarters of
               all fiscal years  beginning  after June 15, 1999.  The Company is
               currently  assessing  the impact of SFAS No. 133 on the Company's
               financial  statements  and  has not  yet  determined  what if any
               changes will be necessary.

10.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

     Subsequent  to December  31,  1998,  the  Company has filed a  registration
     statement in accordance with Form SB-1, Amendment No. 3, for the purpose of
     registering  the  issuance  of a  maximum  of  5,500,000  shares  under the
     Securities Act of 1933 at an anticipated price of $1 per share.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


To the Board of Directors

We have  audited  the  accompanying  balance  sheets of iQ  BATTERY  Research  &
Development GmbH as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the related statements of
operations  and of cash  flows for each of the years in the  three  year  period
ended December 31, 1998. These financial  statements are the  responsibility  of
the Company's  management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in Germany and the United  States of America.  Those  standards  require that we
plan and  perform the audit to obtain  reasonable  assurance  about  whether the
financial  statements  are free of  material  misstatement.  An  audit  includes
examining,  on a test basis,  evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the  financial  statements.  An audit also  includes  assessing  the  accounting
principles  used  and  significant  estimates  made  by  management,  as well as
evaluating the overall  financial  statement  presentation.  We believe that our
audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion,  the financial  statements  referred to above present fairly, in
all  material  respects,  the  financial  position  of  iQ  BATTERY  Research  &
Development  GmbH as of  December  31,  1998 and 1997,  and the  results  of its
operations  and its cash  flows for each of the years in the three  year  period
ended  December 31, 1998 in  conformity  with  accounting  principles  generally
accepted in the United States of America.

The  accompanying  financial  statements  have been  prepared  assuming that the
Company  will  continue  as a  going  concern.  As  discussed  in  Note 2 to the
financial  statements,  the Company's recurring losses,  negative operating cash
flows and  shareholders'  capital  deficiency raise  substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern.  Management's  plans in regard
to these matters are also  described in Note 2. The financial  statements do not
include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

IQ BATTERY Research & Development GmbH
Notes to the Financial Statements
(Balance  Sheets as of December 31, 1998 and 1997 and the Related  Statements of
Operations  and Cash Flows for Each of the Years in the Three Year Period  ended

1    Description of Business

     iQ BATTERY Research & Development GmbH ("iQ BATTERY"), established in 1991,
     is developing a chargeable  battery which allows an improved current output
     at low outside  temperatures.  The process  engineering for this chargeable
     battery and the  know-how is based on a patent  acquired  from the founding
     shareholders of iQ BATTERY Research and Development GmbH.

     Patents have been granted for Germany,  thirteen other  European  countries
     and for the United States of America.  International  patents  applications
     have been filed in nine additional countries.

     The Company's legal domicile is Floha,  Germany,  and it maintains a branch
     near Munich, where management has its offices.

     The Company  intends to grant  licenses for this process to the  automotive
     and related industries in the future.

2    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

     a)   Basis of accounting

     The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern
     basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of
     liabilities  in the normal  course of business.  As shown in the  financial
     statements  during the years ended  December 31, 1998,  1997 and 1996,  the
     Company  incurred  net  losses  of DM 1.803 and DM 1.034 and DM 791 and had
     negative operating cash flows of DM 1,.271, DM 912 and DM 559 respectively.
     The  shareholders  capital  deficit as of December 31, 1998 and 1997 was DM
     2.680 and DM 1.277  respectively.  These  factors among others may indicate
     that the  Company  will be  unable to  continue  as a going  concern  for a
     reasonable period of time.

     The  financial  statements do not include any  adjustments  relating to the
     recoverability  and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts
     and  classifications  of  liabilities  that might be  necessary  should the
     Company  be  unable  to  continue  as  a  going   concern.   The  Company's
     continuation  as a going  concern is  dependent  upon its ability to obtain
     additional financing.

     Management  is  continuing  its efforts to obtain  additional  financing as
     follows:

     -    Offering activities

          On April 29, 1998,  iQ BATTERY and its then  prospective  shareholding
          company iQ Power Technology Inc. entered into an agreement with a lead
          agent in  Vancouver/Canada  to attempt to raise seed  financing  of at
          least US-$ 500,000 and, in subsequence, an offering of US-$ 3,000,000.
          Of these  proceeds,  US-$ 500,000 will be placed in trust and advanced
          to iQ BATTERY  periodically  pursuant to a mutually agreed upon budget
          and achievement of certain milestones,  among them a share exchange of
          iQ  Power   Technology   Inc.  common  shares  to  the  then  existing
          shareholders of iQ BATTERY.

(Balance  Sheets as of December 31, 1998 and 1997 and the Related  Statements of
Operations  and Cash Flows for Each of the Years in the Three Year Period  ended
December 31, 1998)
(DM in Thousands)



2    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

          The  Share  Exchange  Agreement  among IQ Power  Technology  Inc.,  iQ
          BATTERY  Research  and  Development  GmbH and the  shareholders  of iQ
          BATTERY  Research and Development GmbH has been entered into effective
          August 25,1998. Of the seed financing of US$ 500.000, a portion of US$
          350.000  has been  advanced  to iQ  BATTERY  during  1998 and has been
          included in current liabilities.

     -    Additional financing activities

          In  July  1997,  iQ  Battery  filed  an  application  with  Sachsische
          Aufbaubank  GmbH in Dresden  aiming at an  investment  grant of DM 1.7
          million.

          Management  believes that iQ BATTERY will obtain sufficient funds from
          the offering and special  financing  activities during the next twelve
          months to continue its operations.

     b)   Use of Estimates

     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 at
     the dates of the financial  statements and the reported amounts of revenues
     and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from
     these estimates.

     c)   Equipment

     Equipment  is  stated  at  cost.   Depreciation   is  recorded   using  the
     straight-line  method based upon the useful lives of the assets,  generally
     estimated  at 3-5  years.  When  assets are sold or  retired,  the cost and
     accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss
     is included in income.

     d)   Long-term liabilities to shareholders

     Liabilities due to shareholders including interest only in case the Company
     has generated sufficient net assets or liquidation proceeds are shown under
     non-current liabilities.

     e)   Research and Development

     Research and  development  costs are  expensed as incurred.  DM 400 for the
     transfer of intangible  assets (patent and  registered  design) by founding
     shareholders of the Company and the related  liability are not reflected in
     the accompanying financial statements (see also note 12).

     f)   Earnings per share

     Earnings per share are not presented because the Company is privately held.

     g)   Income taxes

     Income taxes are provided for in  accordance  with the asset and  liability
     method.  Deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowances,  and liabilities
     are recognized for the future tax consequences  attributable to differences
     between the financial  statement  carrying  amounts of existing  assets and
     liabilities   and  their   respective   tax  bases   and   operating   loss
     carryforwards.

     Interest,  which  has to be paid  only in case the  company  has  generated
     sufficient  net assets or liquidation  proceeds,  has been accrued for 1998
     (DM 57) and 1997 (31) on debt to founding shareholders.  For 1996 and prior
     years the founding  shareholders  have  ultimately  waived  their  interest
     claims on long-term debt.

     Payments are expected for the years ending December 31 (amounts in DM):

9    Leases

     The Company has  operating  leases for certain  equipment  and  facilities.
     Rental expense was DM 99 for the year ended December 31, 1998 (1997: DM 29;
     1996: DM 12). As of December 31, 1998  obligations  to make future  minimum
     lease payments were as follows:

10   Income Taxes

     The  provision  for  income  taxes  differed  from  the  standard   federal
     corporation income tax rate of 45 % because no benefit was realized for the
     operating losses incurred up to 1998.

     As of December 31, 1998 and 1997, the Company had total deferred tax assets
     relating to loss carryforwards of DM 1.731 and DM 736, respectively,  which
     were  reduced to zero by  valuation  allowances.  The  valuation  allowance
     represents the amount of deferred tax assets that may not be realized based
     upon  expectations of taxable income that are consistent with the Company's
     operating history.

     As of December 31, 1998, the Company had net operating  loss  carryforwards
     of  approximately  DM 2.717 for  corporation  income taxes and DM 4.579 for
     municipal trade taxes. Such loss carryforwards have no set expiry dates.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Operations  and Cash Flows for Each of the Years in the Three Year Period  ended

(DM in Thousands)


11   Fair Value of Financial Instruments

     Management  has  determined  that the  carrying  values  of cash,  accounts
     receivable,  accounts  payable and short-term  bank debt  approximate  fair
     value at December  31, 1998 and 1997  because of  immediate  or  short-term
     maturities. The carrying amount reported for non-current liabilities due to
     shareholders  approximates  fair value  because the  interest  rate of 5,5%
     provided for the accrued interest in 1998 and 1997  approximates the market
     rate.

12   Related Party Transactions

     The Company paid  management  fees of DM 98 for the year ended December 31,
     1998  (1997:   DM  132;  1996:  DM  132)  to  the  company's  two  founding
     shareholders  based on contracts dated October 11, 1991, March 28, 1992 and
     August 28, 1994.

     iQ BATTERY acquired patents and know-how  improving the current output of a
     chargeable  battery at low outside  temperatures and the registered  design
     "iQ" based on a contract  dated  March 15, 1995 from two  shareholders  and
     managing  directors of iQ BATTERY.  The intangibles  purchased  relate to a
     German  patent,  an  international   patent  application  as  well  as  the
     registered design "iQ".

     The  purchase  price  consists  of a one time  payment of DM 400 and is not
     payable as long as the Company is in a deficit  position.  The  transaction
     has not been reflected in the accompanying financial statements.

13   Share Exchange Agreement

     On August 25,1998 IQ Power  Technology Inc. ("iQ Canada ") acquired all the
     issued and outstanding stock of iQ BATTERY Research & Development GmbH ("iQ
     Battery") in exchange for 10,000,000  common shares of iQ Canada.  Pursuant
     to the terms of the Share Exchange Agreement, the former shareholders of iQ
     Battery,  as a group,  have a  limited  right to  repurchase  all of the iQ
     Canada common shares received by such shareholders (the "Put Option").  The
     Put Option is  exercisable  at and after the four month  anniversary of the
     initial filing of a prospectus with the Securities and Exchange  Commission
     if (i) iQ Canada  has  failed to  complete  an equity  offering  with gross
     proceeds of at least US$3 Million and (ii) such shareholders have repaid to
     iQ Canada the full  amount of all funds iQ Canada has  advanced or invested
     in iQ Battery. As a result of the business combination, the shareholders of
     iQ  Battery  will  acquire  control  of the  combined  entity.  Due to this
     acquisition of control,  iQ Battery is identified as the acquiror  (reverse
     acquisition)  and the business  combination will be accounted for under the
     purchase method.

     Pursuant to the terms of the Atypical Share Exchange Agreements,  iQ Canada
     has also issued into escrow an additional  2,800,000  Common Shares against
     the  deposit  into  escrow of the  atypical  shares of iQ  Battery  held by
     twenty-one atypical shareholders. The common shares and the atypical shares
     will be released  from escrow to the atypical  shareholders  and iQ Canada,
     respectively,  on the  completion  of a minimum  equity  financing  of US$3
     Million.  In the event the Put Option is  exercised,  the common shares and
     the atypical  shares will be released from escrow and returned to iQ Canada
     and the atypical shareholders, respectively.

14   Commitments and Contingencies

     The  Company is not  currently  involved  in any legal  proceedings  in the
     ordinary course of business.

15   Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

     In June 1998, the Financial  Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
     Financial  Accounting  Standards  No. 133  ("SFAS  133"),  "Accounting  for
     Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." The

(DM in Thousands)


15   Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (Continued)

     Statement  establishes  accounting and reporting  standards  requiring that
     every  derivative  instrument  (including  certain  derivative  instruments
     embedded in other  contracts) be recorded in the balance sheet as either an
     asset or liability  measured at its fair value. The Statement requires that
     changes in the derivative's fair value be recognized  currently in earnings
     unless specific hedge accounting  criteria are met. Special  accounting for
     qualifying hedges allows a derivative's  gains and losses to offset related
     results on the hedged item in the income  statement,  and  requires  that a
     company must formally document,  designate, and assess the effectiveness of
     transactions  that receive  hedge  accounting.  SFAS 133 is  effective  for
     fiscal  years  beginning  after  June  15,  1999  and  must be  applied  to
     instruments issued,  acquired or substantively  modified after December 31,
     1997.   The  Company  does  not  expect  the  adoption  of  the  accounting
     pronouncement  to have a  material  effect  on its  financial  position  or
     results of operations.
