            SUPPLEMENTARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (Unaudited)


Note  1  -  Basis  of  Preparation

The  accompanying  financial  statements have been prepared in accordance with
the requirements of Form 10-QSB and include all adjustments (consisting of all
normal recurring adjustments) which in the opinion of management are necessary
in  order  to  make the financial statements not misleading.  The consolidated
financial  statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned
and  majority-owned  subsidiaries.   All significant intercompany accounts and
profits  have  been  eliminated.


Note  2  -  Going  Concern

As discussed in Note 7, the remaining balance of $1.8 million of the Company's
debt  to  the  Internal  Revenue  Service ("IRS") is due on December 31, 1999.
This  condition  raises  substantial  doubt  about  the  Company's  ability to
continue  as a going concern.  In order to pay such amount, management intends
to  generate  sufficient  cash  through the sale of the assets or stock of its
wholly-owned  subsidiaries,  NBI  Properties,  Inc.  ("NBI  Properties")  and
Willowbrook  Properties, Inc., d/b/a NBI Development Corporation ("Willowbrook
Properties")  (see Notes 4 and 7); however, there can be no assurance that the
Company  will  be able to complete a sale of these properties prior to the due
date of the IRS debt.  The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is
dependent  upon  obtaining  funds sufficient to pay off the IRS debt when due.
The  accompanying  financial  statements  do  not contain any adjustments that
might  result  from the outcome of this uncertainty.  Management believes that
after  the  Company has sold its real estate and hotel operations and pays off
its IRS debt, it will generate sufficient future cash flows from its remaining
operations  to  allow  the  Company  to  be  a  going  concern.


Note  3  -  Cash  and  Cash  Equivalents

Cash  and cash equivalents include investments that are readily convertible to
known  amounts  of  cash and have original maturities of three months or less.
The  Company  places  its  cash  and temporary cash investments with financial
institutions.    At  times,  such  investments  may  be in excess of federally
insured  limits.


Note  4  -  Discontinued  Operations

 On  December 31, 1998, the Company established a plan to dispose of its Krazy
Colors,  Inc.  ("Krazy Colors") operation due to continuing losses incurred by
the  operation,  as  well  as  the  business' inability to sustain significant
long-term customers.  On August 19, 1999, the Board of Directors voted to sell
the  assets  or  stock  of  its  wholly-owned subsidiaries, NBI Properties and
Willowbrook  Properties, in order to pay the remaining balance of the IRS debt
due  on  December  31,  1999  (see  Note  7).    Therefore,  the  Company  has
discontinued  its  children's  paint  manufacturing,  hotel  and  real  estate
development operations, and it has separately reported the income or loss from
these segments as discontinued operations for the quarters ended September 30,
1999  and  1998  as  follows:

</TABLE>



In  determining  the  loss  on  disposal of its children's paint manufacturing
operation,  which  was  recorded during the second quarter of fiscal 1999, the
Company estimated the net realizable value of the disposal of the discontinued
operation, including estimated costs and expenses directly associated with the
disposal  and  estimated  loss  from  operations through the expected disposal
date.    However,  because the Company expects a significant gain overall from
the  discontinued operations of both the hotel and land development, no amount
has been recorded related to these disposals; the gain will be recognized when
realized.

The  net  long-term  assets  of  discontinued operations at September 30, 1999
consisted  primarily  of  land,  buildings,  development  costs,  and  hotel
furniture, fixtures and equipment, net of a long-term mortgage note payable by
the  hotel.    The  net  current  liabilities  of  discontinued  operations at
September  30,  1999  consisted  primarily  of  accounts  payable  and accrued
liabilities,  net  of  cash  balances.


Note  5  -  Investments  in  Securities  and  Obligations  from  Short-Sale
Transactions

During  the  three  months  ended  September  30,  1999,  all of the Company's
securities  were  classified  as  trading  securities;  no  securities  were
classified as held-to-maturity or available-for-sale.  Realized and unrealized
investment  gains  of  $46,000 and $2,000, respectively, were recorded for the
quarter  ended September 30, 1999.  The Company held no investments and had no
realized  or  unrealized  gains  or losses for the quarter ended September 30,
1998.

As  part  of  its  investment policies, the Company's investment portfolio may
include  option  instruments and may include a concentrated position in one or
more  securities.    As  a result of this, the financial results may fluctuate
significantly  and  have  larger  fluctuations  than  with  a more diversified
portfolio.   In addition, the Company may invest in short-sale transactions of
trading  securities.    Short-sales  can  result in off-balance sheet risk, as
losses  can  be incurred in excess of the reported obligation if market prices
of  the  securities subsequently increase.  At September 30, 1999, the Company
had  no  investment  positions.


Note  6  -  Inventories

Inventories  are comprised of the following amounts which are presented net of
reserves  totaling  $207,000:

Note  7  -  Income  Taxes

IRS  Debt:

On  April  28,  1998,  the Company and the IRS entered into an amended payment
agreement,  revising  the  payment  terms  related  to  NBI Inc.'s IRS debt of
$5,278,000.  This agreement, effective April 9, 1998, revised the terms of the
agreement in principal with the IRS effective October 1, 1995 and the original
settlement  agreement  with the IRS dated June 12, 1991, with respect to NBI's
federal tax liabilities for the fiscal years ended June 30, 1980 through 1988.
Under  the  current  agreement, $3,500,000 of the IRS debt was due and paid on
December 31, 1998, and the remaining balance of $1,778,000 is due on or before
December 31,  1999.  The IRS debt continues to be collateralized by a security
interest in all of the capital stock of American Glass, Inc., d/b/a L.E. Smith
Glass Company ("L.E. Smith") and NBI Properties.  Provided no event of default
occurs  prior to payment of the IRS debt in full, NBI will not be obligated to
pay  any  interest  from  July  1,  1997  forward,  related  to  the  debt.

In  order  to pay the remaining balance on the IRS debt, management intends to
generate  sufficient  cash  through the sale of the assets or capital stock of
its  wholly-owned  subsidiaries,  NBI  Properties  and Willowbrook Properties;
however, there can be no assurance the Company will be able to complete a sale
of  these  properties  prior  to  the due date of the IRS debt.  The Company's
ability  to  continue as a going-concern is dependent upon satisfaction of the
IRS  debt (See Note 2).

Income  tax  provision:

For  the  three months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, the Company recorded
income  tax  provisions  from  continuing  operations  of $28,000 and $57,000,
respectively.    These provisions include state and other income taxes and are
based  upon  book  income.

In  accordance  with fresh start accounting, which was adopted as of April 30,
1992,  and as a result of the Company's reorganization under Chapter 11 of the
U.S.  Bankruptcy  Code,  utilization  of  any  income  tax  benefit  from
pre-reorganization  net  operating  losses  is  not credited to the income tax
provision,  but  rather,  reported  as an addition to capital in excess of par
value.  No pre-reorganization net operating losses were utilized for the three
months  ended  September  30,  1999  and  1998.


Note  8  -  Stockholders'  Equity

The  Company  has authorized 20,000,000 shares of $.01 par value common stock.
At  September 30, 1999, 10,130,520 shares were issued including 2,027,200 held
in  treasury.    Therefore,  the  Company  had  8,103,320  shares  issued  and
outstanding  at  September  30,  1999.

The  Company  has  authorized  5,000,000  shares of preferred stock with a par
value  of  $.01  per  share,  and has designated 2,000,000 preferred shares as
Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock.  At September 30, 1999, 507,421 shares of
Series  A  Cumulative  Preferred  Stock  were  issued  and  outstanding.

On  August  19,  1999,  the  Board of Directors declared the first semi-annual
dividend  on its outstanding Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock to holders of
record  as  of  August  19, 1999.  On September 3, 1999, $252,000 in dividends
were  paid,  consisting  of $182,000 in cash and 7,421 in additional shares of
preferred  stock,  valued  at  $70,000,  per  the  elections  of  the holders.

For  the three months ended September 30, 1999, stock options outstanding with
an  exercise  price  of  $.38,  $.59  and  $.77 per share were included in the
computation  of  diluted  earnings  per share because their exercise price was
less  than  the  average  market price of the common stock during such period.
Stock  options  outstanding with an exercise price of $.25 per share were also
included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three months
ended  September  30,  1998;  these  options  were  not outstanding during the
quarter  ended  September  30,  1999.

The  options  and  warrants outstanding at September 30, 1999 were as follows:

           SUPPLEMENTARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (Unaudited)


Note  10  -  Comprehensive  Income

Effective  July  1,  1998,  the Company has adopted the provisions of SFAS No.
130,  "Reporting  Comprehensive  Income."    Comprehensive income includes all
changes  in  equity  except  those  resulting  from  investments by owners and
distribution  to  owners.    For the three months ended September 30, 1999 and
1998,  the Company had no items of comprehensive income other than net income;
therefore, a separate statement of comprehensive income has not been presented
for  these  periods.


Note  11  -  Seasonal  Variations  of  Operations

Excluding the effect of its significant customer, L.E. Smith typically has its
strongest  revenue performance during the first and second fiscal quarters due
to  seasonal  variations.    Generally, the fourth fiscal quarter's revenue is
moderately lower than in the first and second quarters, while the third fiscal
quarter's  revenue  is  usually  significantly  lower than the other quarters.
However,  historically  these  trends  have  been  materially  affected  by
fluctuations in the timing of orders from its significant customer, which does
not  have  consistent  trends.


Note  12  -  Related  Party  Transactions

The  Company's  Chief  Executive  Officer ("CEO"), Jay Lustig, has proposed to
purchase  a  majority  of  the assets of Willowbrook Properties and all of the
capital stock of NBI Properties.  The Company is submitting the transaction to
its  disinterested shareholders for approval at its Fiscal 1999 Annual Meeting
of  Stockholders.

In  September  and  November  1999, Mr. Lustig advanced Willowbrook Properties
$155,000  and  $159,740,  respectively,  to fund development costs incurred on
Phase I of its land development project.  Concurrently with the closing of the
proposed  Willowbrook Properties sale transaction, such amounts will be deemed
to  be expenses of the buyer.  In the event the closing does not occur on this
transaction,  NBI  will  repay  the  CEO  such  amounts  on  a  due date to be
determined  at  that  time, with interest at the rate of ten percent per annum
since  the  dates  of  the  advances.

The  Company's  CEO  has personally guaranteed a $500,000 letter of credit for
the  benefit of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Department of Transportation
("PennDOT"),  required in order for Willowbrook Properties to commence certain
road  improvements mandated by PennDOT in conjunction with Phase I of its land
development  project.   In addition, in conjunction with the Company's efforts
to  obtain  construction  financing for Phase I of the development, Mr. Lustig
has  committed  to  personally  guarantee  the  repayment of such construction
financing  and  to  guarantee  the  completion  of Phase I of the development.

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
               OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                        FIRST QUARTER, FISCAL YEAR 2000


The  statements  in this discussion contain certain forward-looking statements
within  the  meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
and  Section  21E  of  the  Securities  Exchange  Act  of  1934,  that are not
historical facts.  The forward-looking statements are based upon the Company's
current  expectations  and  are  subject  to  known  and  unknown  risks,
uncertainties,  assumptions  and  other  factors.   Should one or more of such
risks  or  uncertainties  materialize,  or should underlying assumptions prove
incorrect,  the actual results could differ materially from those contemplated
by  the  forward-looking  statements.    Factors  that  may  affect  such
forward-looking statements include, among others, ability to obtain financing,
loss  of significant customers, reliance on key personnel, competitive factors
and  pricing  pressures,  availability  of  raw  materials,  labor  disputes,
investment  results,  limitations  on  the  utilization  of net operating loss
carryforwards,  adequacy of insurance coverage, inflation and general economic
conditions.

RESULTS  OF  OPERATIONS

Revenues  from continuing operations totaling $3,848,000 for the first quarter
of  fiscal  2000 decreased slightly from $3,898,000 for the three months ended
September  30,  1998.      As  expected,  L.E. Smith experienced a significant
decline, approximately $300,000, in revenue from its largest customer, as well
as the absence of $392,000 in revenues related to an order from a nonrecurring
customer  included  in  the  first  quarter  of  fiscal  1999.  However, these
declines  were significantly offset by sustained revenue growth from its other
customers.

Revenues  from continuing operations are expected to decline substantially for
the  three  months ended December 31, 1999, compared to the same period in the
prior  fiscal  year,  because  L.E.  Smith  expects  a  substantial decline in
revenues  from  its  largest  customer  which is only expected to be partially
offset  by  increased  business  from  its  other  customers.    Revenues from
continuing  operations  are  expected to decrease significantly for the second
quarter  of  fiscal 2000 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2000 due to a
significant  decline  in  revenues expected from L.E. Smith's largest customer
which  is  only expected to be partially offset by increased business from its
other  customers.    The Company is still in the process of hiring a new sales
representative to concentrate on increasing the volume of the glass decorating
business  in  order  to  help  offset  the effect of the continuing decline in
revenues  from  L.E.  Smith's  largest  customer.

Cost  of  sales  from continuing operations as a percentage of related revenue
was  70.1% for the quarter ended September 30, 1999, compared to 68.8% for the
same  period  in  fiscal  1999.    The  resulting  decline in gross margin was
primarily  due  to significantly higher depreciation expense, resulting from a
large  amount  of  capital  improvements  made  in  the prior fiscal year, and
general  cost increases.  However, these increased costs were partially offset
by a $42,000 credit resulting from the reversal of excess reserves for a prior
self-insured  workmen's  compensation  plan  and  lower  inventory  reserve
provisions  during  the  first  quarter  of  fiscal  2000.

Cost  of  sales  from continuing operations as a percentage of related revenue
for  the  second quarter of fiscal 2000 is expected to be significantly higher
compared  to  the  second  quarter of fiscal 1999, due to significantly higher
depreciation  expense,  general  cost  increases  and a substantial decline in
expected  sales volume which will cause unfavorable absorption of fixed costs.
Cost  of  sales  from continuing operations as a percentage of related revenue
for  the  second  quarter  of  fiscal 2000 is expected to be moderately higher
compared  to  the  first quarter of fiscal 2000, due to general cost increases
and  a  significant  decline  in  expected  sales  volume  which  will  cause
unfavorable  absorption  of  fixed  costs.

Marketing,  general  and  administrative  expenses  from continuing operations
totaled  $745,000  and  $686,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1999
and 1998, respectively.  The increase was primarily related to increased sales
commissions resulting from increased sales from outside sales representatives,
while  the  Company  experienced  a  significant  decline in revenues from its
largest customer, which is a house account and is not subject to outside sales
commissions.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
               OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                  FIRST QUARTER, FISCAL YEAR 2000 - CONTINUED


Marketing,  general  and  administrative  expenses  are  expected  to increase
moderately  for the three months ended December 31, 1999, compared to both the
same period in the prior fiscal year and the first quarter of fiscal 2000, due
to  general  cost  increases.

For the three months ended September 30, 1999, the Company recorded a realized
gain on investments of $46,000 and an unrealized gain on investments of $2,000
compared  to  no  gain or loss on investments for the same period in the prior
fiscal  year.  As  part  of  its  investment  policy, the Company's investment
portfolio  may  include  investments  in  option instruments and may include a
concentrated  position  in  one  or more securities.  As a result of this, the
financial  results  may  fluctuate  significantly and have larger fluctuations
than  with  a more diversified portfolio.  In addition, the Company may invest
in  short-sale  transactions of trading securities.  Short-sales can result in
off-balance  sheet  risk,  as losses can be incurred in excess of the reported
obligation  if  market  prices  of  the  securities subsequently increase.  At
September  30,  1999,  the  Company  had  no  investment  positions.

The Company recorded provisions for income taxes from continuing operations of
$28,000  and  $57,000 the first quarter of fiscal 2000 and 1999, respectively,
primarily  due  to  the inclusion of Pennsylvania state income tax provisions.
The  state  income  tax  provisions  are related to the Company's Pennsylvania
operations  and  are based upon book income, because the continuing operations
do  not  have  any net operating loss carryforwards available in Pennsylvania.
In  accordance with fresh-start accounting, the income tax provisions recorded
include  non-cash  charges  to  the extent that the Company expects to use its
pre-reorganization  net  operating  loss  carryforwards.    These  charges are
reported  as  an  addition to capital in excess of par value, rather than as a
credit  through  the  income tax provision.  There were no non-cash components
included in the income tax provisions for the three months ended September 30,
1999  or  1998.

DISCONTINUED  OPERATIONS

On  December  31, 1998, the Company established a plan to dispose of its Krazy
Colors'  operation due to continuing losses incurred by the operation, as well
as  the  business'  inability  to sustain significant long-term customers.  On
August  19,  1999, the Board of Directors voted to sell the assets or stock of
its  wholly-owned  subsidiaries,  NBI Properties and Willowbrook Properties in
order  to  pay  the remaining balance of the IRS debt due on December 31, 1999
(see  Notes  4  and  7  to  accompanying  consolidated  financial statements).
Therefore,  the  Company  has discontinued its children's paint manufacturing,
hotel,  and real estate development operations, and it has separately reported
the  income  or  loss  from  these segments as discontinued operations for the
quarters  ended  September  30,  1999  and  1998.

Revenues  from  discontinued operations totaled $707,000 for the first quarter
of  fiscal  2000  compared to $710,000 for the same period of the prior fiscal
year.

The  Company  recorded  net income from discontinued operations of $28,000 for
the  three  months  ended  September  30,  1999  compared  to  a net loss from
discontinued  operations  of  $1,000  for  the same period of the prior fiscal
year.   The improvement resulted primarily from the absence of a loss from the
Krazy  Colors  operation  because  the  estimated  loss  on  disposal  of this
operation  was  accrued  for  during  fiscal 1999.  In determining the loss on
disposal  of  its Krazy Colors operation, which was recorded during the second
quarter  of fiscal 1999, the Company estimated the net realizable value of the
disposal of the discontinued operation, including estimated costs and expenses
directly  associated  with  the  disposal  and  estimated loss from operations
through  the  expected  disposal date.  However, because the Company expects a
significant  gain  overall  from the discontinued operations of both the hotel
and  land development, no amount has been recorded related to these disposals;
the  gain  will  be  recognized  when  realized.

The  net  long-term  assets  of  discontinued operations at September 30, 1999
consisted  primarily  of  land,  buildings,  development  costs,  and  hotel
furniture, fixtures and equipment, net of a long-term mortgage note payable by
the  hotel.    The  net  current  liabilities  of  discontinued  operations at
September  30,  1999  consisted  primarily  of  accounts  payable  and accrued
liabilities,  net  of  cash  balances.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
               OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                  FIRST QUARTER, FISCAL YEAR 2000 - CONTINUED


FINANCIAL  CONDITION,  LIQUIDITY  AND  CAPITAL  RESOURCES

The  Company's  total  assets increased $412,000 to $13.2 million at September
30,  1999 from $12.8 million at June 30, 1999.  The increase was primarily due
to  a  significant  increase  in  trade accounts receivable resulting from the
increased  revenues  in September 1999 compared to June 1999.  The Company had
negative  working  capital  of $1.1 million at September 30, 1999, compared to
negative  working  capital  of $773,000 at June 30, 1999.  The increase in the
working capital deficit was primarily due to cash and proceeds from investment
trades  receivable,  included in other current asset at June 30, 1999, used to
fund a portion of the land development costs incurred during the first quarter
of  fiscal  2000 and included in long-term assets from discontinued operations
at  September  30,  1999.

The  Company  has a final installment of $1.8 million on the IRS debt which is
due  on  or before December 31, 1999.  In order to pay such amount, management
intends to generate sufficient cash through the sale of the assets or stock of
its  wholly-owned  subsidiaries,  NBI  Properties  and Willowbrook Properties;
however, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a
sale of these properties prior to the due date of the IRS debt.  The Company's
ability  to  continue  as  a  going  concern is dependent upon obtaining funds
sufficient  to  pay off the IRS debt when due.  Management believes that after
the Company has sold its real estate and hotel operations and pays off its IRS
debt,  it  will  generate  sufficient  future  cash  flows  from its remaining
operations  to  allow  the  Company  to  be  a  going  concern.

The  Company's  CEO  has  proposed  to  purchase  a  majority of the assets of
Willowbrook  Properties  and  all of the capital stock of NBI Properties.  The
Company  is  submitting  the transaction to its disinterested shareholders for
approval  at  its  Fiscal  1999  Annual  Meeting  of  Stockholders.

The  Company  expects  to  pay the cash dividends on its outstanding preferred
stock  through  existing  working  capital  and  internally  generated  funds,
including cash potentially available from L.E. Smith through dividend payments
to  the  parent Company.  However, L.E. Smith's bank loan agreement limits the
ability  to  pay  and  the  amount  of  dividends  payable  by  L.E.  Smith.

During  the  three  months  ended  September  30, 1999, the Company funded the
construction  activity  for phase I of its Willowbrook Properties' development
out  of  existing cash, proceeds from investment trades receivable at June 30,
1999  and  a $155,000 advance from its CEO.  Subsequent to September 30, 1999,
the Company received an additional advance of $159,740 from its CEO to pay for
construction  costs.    The  Company  has  recently  received a commitment for
commercial  financing  to  pay  for  a significant portion of the construction
costs  of  phase  I  of  its land development project.  The Company expects to
close  on  this  financing  at  the  end  of  November.   However, significant
additional  equity  contributions  will  be required by the Company during the
construction  period of phase I.   The Company intends to sell the development
in  order to generate cash for its IRS payment due on December 31, 1999 and to
minimize  its  required  additional  equity  contributions.

Construction-in-progress  from  continuing  operations  totaled  $176,000  at
September  30,  1999  and  included  $76,000  for design and engineering costs
related  to  a  new  crystal  tank  for the glass manufacturing facility.  The
Company  estimates  that it will cost approximately $1,735,000 to complete the
outstanding construction-in-progress, all of which is expected to be completed
during  fiscal  2000.    A  majority  of  the  estimated costs to complete the
outstanding  projects  is  related to the new crystal tank.  The new tank will
have  an  estimated  useful life of 20 to 25 years, with major refurbishments,
costing  approximately  $500,000,  required every seven years.  The Company is
currently  pursuing  various  financing  alternatives  for  this  capital
improvement.

The  Company expects its other working capital requirements in the next fiscal
year  to  be met by existing working capital at September 30, 1999, internally
generated  funds  and,  for  L.E.  Smith's requirements, short-term borrowings
under  an  existing  line  of  credit.

               OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                  FIRST QUARTER, FISCAL YEAR 2000 - CONTINUED


YEAR  2000  COMPLIANCE

The Company has completed a review and risk assessment of all technology items
used  in  its  operations.  The Company believes that the year 2000 issue will
pose  no significant operational problems.  Substantially all of the machinery
and  equipment used by the Company's glass manufacturing operation is manually
controlled  and  operated.    In  addition,  the  hotel  operation  is  not
significantly  reliant  on  computer  technology,  with  the  exception of its
reservation  system,  which  is  maintained and upgraded under a contract with
Holiday Inns Franchising, Inc.  and has already been upgraded and tested to be
year  2000  compliant.    The  primary effect of the year 2000 issue is on the
Company's  accounting  systems.

Year  2000  compliance will primarily be accomplished through purchases of new
equipment  and  data  processing  hardware  and  software  upgrades,  with  an
estimated  aggregate  cost  of approximately $285,000, a majority of which has
already  been  purchased  and  most  of  which  was  previously  planned  and
necessitated  by  other  technological needs of the Company.  The upgrading or
replacement  of  equipment  which  is  non-compliant,  as  well as the related
testing  of  such  equipment  is  now  virtually  complete.

L.E.  Smith  currently  has  one  customer  of  such significance that if such
customer  were  to  experience  year  2000  problems  that  resulted  in  the
cancellation  or  deferral of orders, it could materially adversely affect the
results of operations of the Company.  The Company has discussed the year 2000
issue  with  this  and other material customers and vendors and currently does
not  anticipate  any  significant  problems.    In  addition, the Company will
continue  to  review  the  status of the year 2000 issues with these and other
customers  and  vendors.

The  Company  presently  believes  that  with the completed conversions to new
hardware and software, the year 2000 issue will be mitigated without causing a
material  adverse  impact  on  the operation of the Company.  However, if such
conversions are not sufficiently, the year 2000 issue could have an impact
on  the  operation  of the Company.  At this time, management does not believe
that  the  impact  and  any  resulting  costs  will  be  material.
