                                EXPLANATORY NOTE

      On  September  29,  2000,   the  board  of  directors  of  Epitope,   Inc.
("Epitope"),  approved a change in the company's  fiscal year end from September
30 to December 31. Also,  on September 29, 2000,  Epitope and STC  Technologies,
Inc. ("STC"),  were each merged into OraSure Technologies,  Inc. ("OraSure"),  a
new corporation that was formed under Delaware law for the purposes of combining
STC and Epitope by merger and  changing  the state of  incorporation  of Epitope
from Oregon to  Delaware.  OraSure is deemed to be the  successor  to  Epitope's
prior  registration  under the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934 pursuant to Rule
12g-3(a) under the Exchange Act.

      The first annual  financial  results to be reported based on Epitope's new
fiscal year end will be the combined financial results of OraSure for the twelve
months ending December 31, 2000.  This transition  report presents the financial
results of Epitope  for the  transition  period  from  October 1, 1999,  through
December 31, 1999.

      The interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of December 31,
1999,  and December 31, 1998,  incorporated  by reference  herein are unaudited;
however,  in the opinion of the company's  management,  the interim data include
all adjustments,  consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for
a fair  statement of the results of operations  for the interim  periods.  These
condensed  consolidated  financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the financial  statements  and notes thereto  included in Epitope's  1999 Annual
Report on Form 10-K.  Results of  operations  for the  three-month  period ended
December 31, 1999, are not  necessarily  indicative of the results of operations
expected for the full fiscal year.
