                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
for interim financial information in response to the requirements of Article 10
of Regulation S-X. Accordingly they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the
accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments
(consisting only of normal recurring items) necessary to present fairly the
financial position as of November 30, 2000; results of operations for the nine
months and three months ended November 30, 2000 and 1999; cash flows for the
nine months ended November 30, 2000 and 1999; and changes in stockholders'
equity for the nine months ended November 30, 2000. For further information,
refer to the Company's financial statements and notes thereto included in the
Company's Form 10, Amendment No. 2 for the six months ended August 31, 2000 and
for the year ended February 29, 2000. The consolidated balance sheet at February
29, 2000 was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date.
Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of
annual results of operations.

Certain prior year amounts were reclassified to conform with the current year
presentation.

2. ORGANIZATION OF THE COMPANY

The consolidated financial statements consist of MFC Development Corp. (the
"Company" or "MFC") and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. MFC is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of FRMO Corp. ("FRM"), whose name was changed on November 29, 2000
from FRM Nexus, Inc. All of FRM's assets and liabilities were transferred to MFC
on August 31, 2000, except for $10,000. Because such entities are under common
control, this transaction has been accounted for in a manner similar to a
pooling of interests on MFC's books.

The consolidated financial statements of MFC include Medical Financial Corp.,
PSI Capital Corp. and its 80% owned subsidiary FRM NY Capital, LLC (formed on
September 14, 2000), Yolo Capital Corp. and its subsidiary Highlands Pollution
Control Corp., Yolo Equities Corp., Nexus Garden City LLC, FRM Court Street LLC,
Nexus Borough Park LLC, Wendcello Corp. ("Wendcello"), and Wendclark Corp.
("Wendclark"). Wendclark was sold May 14, 1999 and Wendcello was sold on June
20, 2000.

The Company was incorporated on May 18, 1990 under the laws of the State of
Delaware as PSI Food Services, Inc. On August 9, 2000, the Company amended its
certificate of incorporation as follows:

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


2. ORGANIZATION OF THE COMPANY (CONTINUED)

1.   The Company changed its name from PSI Food Services, Inc. to MFC
     Development Corp.

2.   The Company increased authorized capital stock from 2,000,000 shares common
     stock, par value $.10 per share to 2,000,000 shares preferred stock, par
     value $.001 per share and 40,000,000 shares common stock, par value $.001
     per share. Stockholders' equity for prior periods was restated to reflect
     this change.

In August 2000, the Company purchased and retired 16,462 shares of treasury
stock for $26,689.

On August 31, 2000, FRM filed Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, which disclosed that FRM contemplates on or about November 30, 2000,
or such later date as the registration of the common stock of MFC Development
Corp. shall have become effective, distributing to its shareholders on the
record date one share of MFC common stock for each one share of FRM's
outstanding common stock at the close of business on November 1, 2000 (the
record date). There are presently 1,800,000 shares of common stock of FRM
outstanding. On October 19, 2000 FRM filed Form 8-K with the Securities and
Exchange Commission, which disclosed the board of directors' approval of the
distribution. MFC filed Form 10 on October 2, 2000 to register its common stock.
Amendment Nos. 1 and 2 to Form 10 were filed on November 20, 2000, and December
6, 2000. The Company is currently waiting for any further comment from the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

3. BUSINESS ACTIVITIES OF THE COMPANY

In addition to the two operating divisions of the Company, real estate and
medical, a new division, Capco was formed during the quarter ended November 30,
2000. Operation of the Capco division commenced on September 14, 2000, when the
Articles of Organization in New York State for FRM N.Y. Capital LLC, an 80%
majority owned subsidiary of PSI Capital Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of the
Company, were filed. This LLC was formed for the purpose of being approved as a
"certified capital company" pursuant to Sections 11 and 1511 of the New York
State Tax Law (herein a "Capco") under the Capco Program Three. A "certified
capital company" as used in this context is a "for profit" entity, such as a
limited liability company, located and qualified to conduct business in New York
State which is certified by the New York State Insurance Department
("Department") based on standards set forth in the New York Tax Law (the
"Statute"). The Capco was approved on November 28, 2000 and certified to
participate in New York's Capco Program Three. The Statute creates a tax credit
incentive mechanism to increase investment of financial resources of insurance
companies into providing venture capital to businesses approved by the
Department as qualified to provide jobs and promote the growth of the economy in
New York State ("Qualified Businesses").

4. FINANCE RECEIVABLES, NET

Net finance receivables consist of the following:

<TABLE>

                                       NOVEMBER 30,        FEBRUARY 29,

   Gross finance receivables           $5,213,989          $2,958,825
   Allowance for credit losses           (420,078)           (212,488)
   Deferred finance income               (448,051)           (266,338)
                                       ----------          ----------
                                       $4,345,860          $2,479,999
                                       ==========          ==========
</TABLE>

These receivables are collateral for a line of credit (see note 6).

The Company purchases the receivables and has the right to return the "invalid
receivables". By contractual definition, these are receivables that have not
been recovered from insurance companies because of denials, requests for
additional information not readily available, or a matter under investigation
within 180 days of the purchase date. For receivables purchased in the years
ended February 29, 2000 and February 28, 1999 and the three months ended May
31, 2000 (unaudited), the Company returned approximately 21%, 17% and 19%,
respectively. The Company does not expect the trend of returned receivables to
change in the future.

In addition to the right to return the invalid receivables to the Seller, the
Company has the right to offset any of its obligations to the Seller by any
invalid receivables. As a result of the right of return and right of offset
features, the Company believes that a valuation allowance generally is not
required for these receivables.

5. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment consists of the following:

As of November 30, 2000 and February 29, 2000, accumulated amortization of
equipment under capital leases was $40,617 and $21,699.

Depreciation expense for the nine months ended November 30, 2000 and 1999, which
includes amortization under capital leases was $65,076 and $44,029.

Related Party Credit Lines: In December 1997, a $700,000 line of credit was
obtained from a related party, Northwest Management Corp. ("NMC"), a shareholder
of the Company. In January 1999, the line of credit was increased to $785,000.
The president of NMC, who is also a shareholder of the Company, has the power to
vote NMC shares, which are owned by his two children. The line was terminated by
mutual consent of both parties upon full repayment on June 21, 2000 of the
outstanding balance of $200,000. Interest was calculated at a rate of 12% per
annum.

In October 2000, a $500,000 line of credit was obtained from a related party,
NWM Capital, LLC. ("NWM"), which is owned by a shareholder of the Company. In
December 2000, the line of credit was increased to $658,000. The line, under
which there was an outstanding balance of $306,500 at November 30, 2000, expires
on October 31, 2002. Interest is calculated at a rate of 15% per annum. Monthly
interest only payments are due through October 31, 2002. Commencing on December
1, 2002, monthly payments will be $34,000 per month plus interest, with a final
payment of any outstanding balance at October 31, 2003, the maturity date. The
credit line may only be prepaid on six months prior written notice. The Company,
at the option of the lender, may be required to prepay up to an aggregate of 20%
of the stated principal amount of the credit line on 30 days prior written
notice. There were no commitment fees paid in connection with this line of
credit.

The line has a joint and several obligation of the Company and its subsidiary,
Medical Financial Corp. The line is collateralized by the second mortgage
receivable in Granby, Connecticut and certain purchased insurance claims
receivable of Medical Financial Corp., which are not older than six months (see
Note 4) equal to at least 222% of the principal sum outstanding under the line.

Related party escrow loan: In February 1999, a related partnership, whose
partners are directors, officers and shareholders of the Company, committed to
place in an escrow account until March 15, 2001 an investment portfolio, which
at the time was valued at

6. NOTES PAYABLE (CONTINUED)

$240,000, for the benefit of the Medical Financial Corp. subsidiary. This
investment portfolio was held in escrow and used as collateral for the purpose
of obtaining margin loans. All risks and rewards of the investment portfolio
pass to the related party. The Company, being the primary obligor on the margin
loans, is responsible for the repayment of the loans. The margin loans bear
interest at a variable rate based on market condition set at the discretion of
the investment brokerage firm. A fee is payable monthly to the related party at
the rate of 5% per annum on the value of the investment escrow account. This fee
is included in interest expense. Proceeds from the loan may only be used to fund
the purchase of certain medical receivables. The loan is repaid as payment is
received from such receivables. On June 26, 2000, the then outstanding balance
of $170,000 was paid in full. On June 30, 2000, the line was terminated by
mutual consent of both parties.

Interest expense on these related party borrowings was $10,358 and $33,738 for
the nine months ended November 30, 2000 and 1999.

Capital Lease Obligations: The Company has acquired certain equipment under
various capital leases expiring in 2004. The leases provide for monthly payments
of principal and interest of $5,782 and have been capitalized at imputed
interest rates of 10.00% to 16.72%.

Aggregate maturities of the amount of notes payable and capital leases for the
years ending February 28 are as follows:

9. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On May 14, 1999 the Company sold Wendclark, Inc., one of the two subsidiaries
that operated in the food service division. The Company received $975,000 in
cash, resulting in a gain of $96,303, which was recorded during the three months
ended May 31, 1999. As a result of this sale, $2,342,555 of debt that was
carried by Wendclark was assumed by the buyer. On May 23, 2000 the Company
committed to sell Wendcello Corp., the remaining subsidiary that operated in the
food service division. On June 20, 2000 the Company completed the sale of
Wendcello Corp., including all of its assets and liabilities, and received
$1,575,000 in cash, resulting in a gain of approximately $381,000 that was
recorded during the six months ended August 31, 2000. As a result of this sale,
$125,000 of current debt that was carried on Wendcello was eliminated. During
the period from May 23, 2000 (the measurement date for discontinuing operations
of the food service division) to June 20, 2000 (disposal date), net income from
operations of the discontinued food service division was $11,700. The results of
operations of both subsidiaries have been classified as discontinued operations
and prior periods have been restated.

11. BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION

Operating segments are managed separately and represent separate business units
that offer different products and serve different markets. The Company's
reportable segments include: (1) real estate, (2) medical (3) capco and (4)
other, which is comprised of corporate overhead and net assets of discontinued
operations. The real estate segment operates in New York and Connecticut. The
medical segment operates in New York and New Jersey. The capco segment was
formed on September 14, 2000 and operates only in New York.

Upon the certification of Capco by New York State on November 28, 2000, an
insurance company can purchase up to $10 million of debt of Capco and receive a
dollar-for-dollar tax credit spread out over a 10 year period beginning in 2002.
Such an investing insurance company is called a "Certified Investor" and Capco
will seek one or more such investors for $10 million. Capco Program Three
authorizes state tax credits of up to $150 million for all insurance company
participants. Capco will use (i) its own capital of $500,000, $395,000 of which
was supplied by the Company, $100,000 by Daniel Elstein who was a director of
FRMO Corp. in 1997-1998 and $5,000 from FRMO Corp., plus (ii) the investment of
the Certified Investor to take substantial equity interests in New York
companies in order to encourage and assist them in creating, developing and
expanding their business. Capco's emphasis will be on viable small business
enterprises which have had difficulty in attracting institutional venture
capital and which will expand employment opportunities in New York, thereby
promoting the growth of the State's economy. By virtue of the equity interests,
Capco obtains in the Qualified Businesses, or through contemporaneous
agreements, it is expected that it will be a significant factor in the direction
and control of the Qualified Businesses in which it invests its funds. Capco's
mission is to be an active participant with the management of its selected
companies, in order to grow the values of the qualified company, its own
investment therein and the interest of the Certified Investor at the same time
that the enterprise contributes to more jobs and growth in New York State. As of
November 30, 2000, Capco had not yet commenced operations.

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the
summary of significant accounting policies included in the Company's Form 10,
Amendment No. 2 for the six months ended August 31, 2000 and for the year ended
February 29, 2000. All inter-segment balances have been eliminated.
Inter-segment balances that have not been capitalized, bear interest at the rate
of 10% per annum and are included in net interest expense. Business segment
information for the nine months and three months ended November 30, 2000 and
1999 follows. Certain prior year information has been reclassified to conform
with the current year presentation.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND
FINANCIAL CONDITION

All statements contained herein that are not historical facts, including but not
limited to, statements regarding future operations, financial condition and
liquidity, expenditures to develop real estate owned by the Company, future
borrowing, capital requirements and the Company's future development plans are
based on current expectations. These statements are forward looking in nature
and involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ
materially. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially are the following: changes in the business of the Company's medical
provider clients, changes in the real estate and financial markets and other
risk factors described herein and in the Company's reports filed and to be filed
from time to time with the Commission. The discussion and analysis below is
based on the Company's unaudited consolidated financial statements for the nine
months and three months ended November 30, 2000 and 1999. The following should
be read in conjunction with the Management's Discussion and Analysis of results
of operations and financial condition included in Form 10, Amendment No. 2 for
the six months ended August 31, 2000 and for the year ended February 29, 2000.


OVERVIEW

MFC generates revenues from two business segments: real estate and medical. A
third segment, Capco, was formed during the three months ended November 30, 2000
and was not yet operational. The real estate segment consists of various parcels
of real estate, held for future development and sale, in which co-investors also
have interests, and mortgage notes receivable on two properties that were
previously sold. The medical segment consists of three Limited Liability
Companies which act as service organizations for providers of medical services
and a wholly-owned subsidiary, Medical Financial Corp., which purchases medical
insurance claims receivable, paying cash to the medical provider in return for a
negotiated fee. The Capco segment consists of an 80% ownership in FRM NY
Capital, LLC, a certified capital company as described in Note 3 and Note 11 of
the consolidated financial statements.

Revenues in the real estate division vary substantially from period to period
depending on when a particular transaction closes and depending on whether the
closed transaction is recognized for accounting purposes as a sale or reflected
as a financing or is deferred to a future period. On May 23, 2000 the Company
committed to sell Wendcello Corp., the remaining subsidiary that operated in the
food service division. On June 20, 2000 the Company completed the sale and
received $1,575,000 in cash, resulting in a gain of approximately $381,000 that
was recorded during the six months ended August 31, 2000. As a result of that
sale and the sale of the Wendclark subsidiary in May 1999, the food service
segment has been classified as discontinued operations and prior periods have
been restated. The consolidated financial statements and the discussion below
include the operations of the Company's parent, FRMO Corp., as if the transfer
of assets had occurred at the beginning of the periods presented.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

2000 PERIOD COMPARED TO THE 1999 PERIOD

The Company's revenues from continuing operations increased by $214,000 or 57%,
for the three months ended November 30, 2000 ("2000") to $588,000 from $374,000
for the three months ended November 30, 1999 ("1999"). The Company's revenues
from continuing operations increased by $250,000 or 18%, for the nine months
ended November 30, 2000 ("2000") to $1,613,000 from $1,363,000 for the nine
months ended November 30, 1999 ("1999"). The increase in both the nine month and
three month periods was a result of an increase in the medical division, offset
by decreased revenues in the real estate division.

Revenue in the real estate division decreased in 2000 by $130,000, to $46,000
for the three month period and decreased by $348,000 to $208,000 for the nine
month period. The decrease in revenue in both the three month and nine month
periods were due to decreases of $85,000 and $227,000 in the sales of real
estate in the three month and nine month periods ended in 2000 as compared to
1999. Rental income decreased by $10,000 and $15,000 in the three months and
nine months ended in 2000 because rent is no longer being received on the
properties that were sold during the remainder of fiscal 2000. The $35,000 and
$106,000 decrease in the three months and nine months ended in 2000 in interest
from mortgages was attributable to a decrease in accrued interest income on the
mortgage receivable from the property located in Goshen, NY. Interest is no
longer being accrued on this mortgage because the annual interest payment that
was due in February 2000 has not been paid.

The $344,000 increase in revenues in the medical division for the three month
period ended in 2000 was due to an increase in both earned fees from the
purchase and collection of medical claims and management fees. The $597,000 net
increase in revenue in the medical division for the nine month period ended in
2000 was due to an increase in management fees, offset by a decrease of fees
from the purchase and collection of medical claims.

The increase in management fees of $240,000 and $660,000 for the three months
and nine months ended in 2000, was a result of the ownership, beginning in
February 2000, of an MRI facility that provides management services to a finance
client's radiology practice. Management fees were also generated, beginning in
April 2000, from the management of a finance client's physical therapy practice.
Two other finance client's practices were managed for a temporary period in
2000. These fees are net of reserves of $70,000 and $190,000 for the three
months and nine months ended November 30, 2000.


The increase in earned fees from the purchase and collection of medical claims
of $104,000 for the three month period was due to an increase in medical claims
purchased in current and earlier periods, which resulted in an increase in
revenue recognition over the period of collections, which is usually six months.
The increase in claims purchased was due to the Company obtaining new clients
and additional purchases from existing clients. The increase in purchases during
the three months ended in 2000 resulted in an overall increase in purchases of
$1,653,000 during the nine month period ended in 2000 as compared to the

                                       18
<PAGE>   20
same nine month period ended in 1999. The income that is derived from these
purchases is deferred and recognized as the claims are collected during an
average six month period. The decrease in earned fees of $63,000 for the nine
month period was due to a decrease in medical claims purchased in earlier
periods, which resulted in a decrease in revenue recognition over the period of
collections, which is usually six months. The decrease in claims purchased in
earlier periods was due to the Company's decision to be more selective in the
bill purchasing process. Since the Company has become more selective in
determining which bills to purchase, the collection process is more efficient,
since the insurance companies are less likely to delay or question certain
procedures. This reduces the cost and time of the Company's collection effort
for each bill and results in a more rapid collection of the receivable.

Costs and expenses from continuing operations increased by $105,000, or 16%, for
the three months ended in 2000, to $779,000 as compared to $674,000 for the same
period ended in 1999. Costs and expenses from continuing operations increased by
$618,000, or 33%, for the nine months ended in 2000, to $2,504,000 as compared
to $1,886,000 for the same period ended in 1999. The net increase for the three
months ended in 2000 was due to increases of $194,000 in the medical division
and $6,000 in depreciation and amortization, which were offset by decreases of
$76,000 in the real estate division and $19,000 in corporate expenses. The net
increase for the nine months ended in 2000 was due to increases of $814,000 in
the medical division and $21,000 in depreciation and amortization, which were
offset by decreases of $213,000 in the real estate division and $4,000 in
corporate expenses.

The decrease in costs and expenses in the real estate division in both the three
month and nine month periods ended in 2000 were due to a decrease in the amount
of properties sold in 2000, which results in a decrease in the cost of sales.
Operating expenses also decreased in 2000, after a portion of the Hunter
property and all of the Brookfield property were sold during the last three
quarters of fiscal 2000.

The costs and expenses in the medical division for the three month and nine
month periods ended in 2000 was $552,000 and $1,802,000. The net increase of
$194,000 for the three month period was due to expenses of $228,000 that are
related to the three new subsidiaries that were formed in 2000 to manage the
operations of certain medical practices, offset by a decrease of $34,000 in
medical receivable expenses. The decrease in medical receivable expenses is
primarily due to a reduction of the amount of bad debt reserves for the three
month period ended in 2000.

The increase of $814,000 for the nine month period was due to expenses of
$739,000 that are related to the three new subsidiaries and a $75,000 increase
in medical receivable expenses. The $75,000 increase in medical receivable
expenses in the nine month period is attributable to additional expenses
incurred that were needed to properly service the current additions and
projected increases to the client base. These expenses included additional (i)
staff and related employment costs, in part due to reclassifying a portion of
executive salaries from corporate, part due to the hiring of additional
employees and part due to annual salary increases, (ii) occupancy and office
costs, (iii) arbitration costs in connection with the collection of claims
receivable and (iv) closing costs that are related to new clients. The
infrastructure of the company as established, can now service a greater number
of clients than currently exists. This is necessary to efficiently service
expected new clients with properly trained employees.

                                       19
<PAGE>   21
The decrease in corporate expenses of $19,000 and $4,000 in the three month and
nine month periods ended in 2000 is primarily due to reductions and
reallocations of professional fees to the medical division. The increase in
depreciation and amortization of $6,000 and $21,000 in the three month and nine
month periods ended in 2000 is attributable to additional depreciation as a
result of increased capital expenditures in the medical financing division.
Interest expense for the three months ended 2000 was $6,000, unchanged from
1999. Interest expense for the nine months ended 2000 was $19,000, a decrease of
$19,000 from $38,000 in 1999. The decrease was attributable to the debt that was
eliminated in 1999 when a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Wendclark
subsidiary was used to repay amounts that had been borrowed to finance the
purchase of medical claims receivable, offset by acquisition, by capital lease,
of an MRI machine in the medical division.

Income from discontinued operations for the three month period, which included
the operations of the Wendcello subsidiary in 1999, decreased by $61,000 to
nothing in 2000, due to the sale of that subsidiary in the quarter ended August
31, 2000. The increase for the nine month period was $46,000, to $399,000 in
2000. The increases in 2000 were primarily due to the gain of $381,000 from the
sale of the Wendcello subsidiary in the nine month period. The increase in nine
month period, which included the gain on sale of Wendcello were offset by the
profits from that subsidiary that were included in the entire 1999 period.

For the reasons noted above, the Company's net loss was reduced by $51,000 for
the three months ended in 2000 to $194,000 as compared to a net loss of $245,000
in 1999. The loss for the nine month period in 2000 was $508,000, $293,000
greater than the loss of $215,000 in 1999.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's two continuing business activities and discontinued operations
during the nine months ended November 30, 2000 resulted in a decrease of cash in
the amount of $1,000. The Company expects the continued growth of its medical
division to increase based on its on-going negotiations with prospective new
clients, which are expected to be obtained in the next few months. These
prospective clients will result in an increase in the amount of cash needed to
purchase their medical insurance claims receivable. The funds for those needs
are expected to be provided from the balance of the $658,000 credit line.
Additional funds may be provided for from financing activities such as
additional asset-based borrowing facilities on the Company's mortgages and
accounts receivable and the sale of real estate assets.

The real estate division is not expected to be a significant user of cash flow
from operations, due to the elimination of carrying costs on the real estate
that was sold during the year ended February 29, 2000 and the nine months ended
November 30, 2000. The Company's real estate assets in Hunter, NY are owned free
and clear of mortgages. Further development of this property, at any significant
cost, is expected to be funded by the sale of property in Hunter or asset-based
financing. The mortgage receivable on the Goshen, NY property does not call for
principal payments until February 28, 2002, however, interest payments in the
amount of $30,000 are due annually. The annual payment that was due on February
29, 2000 has not been paid, which resulted in the suspension of interest being
accrued.

                                       20
<PAGE>   22
The Company believes that its present cash resources and the cash available from
financing activities will be sufficient on a short-term basis and over the next
12 months to fund continued expansion of its medical financing business, its
company-wide working capital needs and expected investments in property and
equipment. The Company intends to pace its growth in the medical financing
division to its capacity to provide the funds internally and from its financing
activities.

Cash used by operations during the nine months ended November 30, 2000 was
$466,000, as compared to $269,000 being used in the same period in 1999. The
$197,000 increase in the use of cash in 2000 was due to a net loss for the nine
months ended in 2000 of $508,000 (net of $381,000 gain on sale of subsidiary and
$208,000 provision for bad debts) as compared to a net loss of $215,000 (net of
$96,000 gain on sale of subsidiary and $22,000 provision for bad debts) in 1999,
a decrease in the sale of real estate, which resulted in a decrease in
collections of $212,000, offset by fluctuations in operating assets and
liabilities (including net assets of discontinued operations) primarily caused
by timing differences.

Cash provided by investing activities was $114,000 for the nine months ended in
2000 as compared with $1,372,000 being provided in 1999. The net decrease of
$1,258,000 was primarily due to the increase in medical insurance claims
receivable (net of amounts due to finance customers for payments of residual
collections) by $1,372,000 in 2000, compared to a $464,000 decrease in 1999. The
increase in 2000 was attributable to a greater amount of bills purchased,
beginning during the month of May from new clients. The use of cash by the
medical division was offset by an increase of $600,000 from discontinued
operations, resulting from the sale of the Wendcello subsidiary in June 2000.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $352,000 in 2000 as compared with
$854,000 being used in 1999. The $1,206,000 increase in 2000 was primarily due
to $275,000 of net borrowing in 2000 as compared to $854,000 of net debt
repayments in 1999. In addition, the company received $105,000 from a minority
interest in 2000. These proceeds were offset by the use of $28,000 to purchase
and acquire treasury stock in 2000.


EFFECTS OF NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

In June 1999, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 137,
amending Statement No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities", which extended the required date of adoption to the years beginning
after June 15, 2000. The Statement permits early adoption as of the beginning of
any fiscal quarter after its issuance. The Company expects to adopt the new
Statement effective March 1, 2001. The Company does not anticipate that the
adoption of this Statement will have any effect on its results of operations or
financial position.

REVENUE RECOGNITION IN FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Company expects to adopt Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting
Bulletin 101 ("SAB 101"), Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements in the
quarter

                                       21
<PAGE>   23
starting December 1, 2000. SAB 101 requires revenue to either be realized or
realizable and earned prior to recognition. This generally does not occur until
there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, delivery has occurred or
services have been rendered, the price is fixed or determinable, and
collectibility is reasonably assured.The Company does not anticipate that the
adoption of SAB 101 will have any impact on the Company's current and prior
revenue recognition policies and its results of operations or financial
position.



ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company's market risk arises principally from the interest rate risk related
to its receivables. Interest rate risk is a consequence of having fixed interest
rate receivables in the Company's Real Estate and Medical Divisions. The Company
is exposed to interest rate risk arising from changes in the level of interest
rates.
