PART I
Item 1. Business
(a) In General. The Registrant was organized in October,
1967, and commenced doing
business on January 1, 1968. The Registrant is engaged in the
rental and development of real
estate
and in developing surgical staples and the technology used to
apply the staples and was formerly
engaged in developing technology for semiconductor devices until
1994 when such activities
were
terminated.
b) Industry Segments. For financial information in regard
to Industry Segments,
reference is made to Note 13 to the Financial Statements for the
years ended September 30, 1999,
1998 and 1997.
(c) Description of Business.
(i) Principal Activities and
(ii) Status of products and Real Estate Properties.
Medical Staples
The Registrant is continuing its efforts in the area of
medical staples for use in internal
surgery. Four United States Patents have been received and
foreign applications have been filed
on
a novel staple. The staple has been produced and animal testing
took place during 1998 and
1999.
The Registrant presently intends to continue the project.
A significant investment would be required if the Registrant
were to pursue this area of
business independently. The Registrant may seek a relationship
of some sort with a firm active
in
the medical equipment area. However, no decision as to such a
relationship has been made at
this
time.
Semiconductor Technology
The Registrant had obtained a United States patent covering
technology
3
<PAGE>
for the deposition of thin films of semiconductor materials,
e.g., III-V materials such as binary or
ternary semiconductor materials, on suitable substrates.
Contracts to investigate the technology
involved were given by the Solar Energy Research Institute
(S.E.R.I.) of the United States
Department of Energy (USDOE) to Brown University. This work, in
order to support the length
of
research required to test the theories, was to test the quality
of the materials and potential
applications and the funds were supplied by the USDOE on the
Solaris Solar Research program,
Grant #DE-FG02-84C410203. Subsequently, Brown University
performed additional
investigations
of the applications of the technology supported by the USDOE
under the University Participation
Program, Contract #XB5-05009-5. These investigations showed that
the film deposition rates
with
the technology were faster than with conventional liquid phase
epitaxy and were of high quality.
However, variations in film thickness along the direction of flow
were observed. If such
variation
cannot be solved, it would limit the possible commercial use of
the technology. Further
investigation of the technology by Brown University has ceased as
governmental support for
their
research has terminated. The Registrant has no direct knowledge
at this time of other research
taking
place using its technology. There is no assurance that the
technology in question will find
commer-
cial application. During 1993 the Registrant expended $37,615.00
toward development of
semiconductor technology and substantially reduced expenditures
during 1994.
During fiscal year 1994, the Registrant discontinued efforts
relating to photovoltaic cells.
Work in the field has moved in directions away from that of the
Registrant's technology. There
has
been a substantial reduction of government support in this
technical area and funding that had
been
received by laboratories exploring the Registrant's technology
has terminated.

<PAGE>
Real Estate Development and Rental Activities
The Registrant has rented two buildings it owns located at
A&S Drive, Paramus, New Jersey:
one to The Sports Authority, Inc. and the other to Comp USA for
retail purposes.
(iii) Raw Materials
The Registrant believes that the components and materials
necessary or useful to its
operations will be available from diverse sources of supply. The
materials used for the
Registrant's
research activities have been acquired through commercial
businesses engaged in the distribution
of such supplies. The materials that the Registrant would
require for development of commercial
production of medical staples are widely available.
(iv) Patents.
The Registrant has filed several patent applications and has
several patents issued in
connection with medical staples for use in internal surgery.
These applications and patents are as
follows:
No.

The Registrant has obtained patent protection on technology
developed in the areas of
epitaxial growth, peeled films and photovoltaic cells. However,
there is no assurance that any
revenue will be received as a result of obtaining the patents.
The Patents issued to the Registrant
dealing with the Semiconductor research are as follows:
1. U.S. Patent No. 4,396,456 "Method of Peeling
Epilayers", Melvin S. Cook.
2. U.S. Patent No. 4,519,871 "Bubble-Mode Liquid

<PAGE>
It is presently contemplated that Registrant's activities
with respect to medical staples, if
actual commercial activities are commenced, may be limited to
licensing the technology to other
firms or to forming some type of business relationship with other
firms. The technology is in
competition with alternative staples technology. Some suppliers
of surgical staples are
well-established and have significant capital resources.
Competition in the real estate office rental segment of the
Registrant's business activities
was significant in the Bergen County, New Jersey market in which
the Registrant competes
during the period when the Registrant was seeking suitable
tenants for its rental properties.
The obsolete style of the office building owned by the
Registrant prior to and during 1991
made the attraction of suitable office tenants most difficult.
In an effort to increase the marketability of the
Registrant's properties, the Registrant
applied to the Borough of Paramus for a zoning change to allow
retail use for the office building
and for development of the adjacent site.
In December 1991, the change in zoning was approved. The
then existing building was
rented to The Sports Authority, Inc., a retailer of sporting
goods. This building was substantially
renovated by The Sports Authority, Inc. and Holobeam reimbursed
them for their costs in
connection with this renovation. The market for retail space in
the Paramus, New Jersey area,
although in recession, was not as adversely affected as was the
market for office space.
During 1994, a 30,000 sq. ft. building was constructed on
the Registrant's site located
adjacent to the building leased by The Sports Authority, Inc. for
use as a Computer City retail
store. Tandy Corp., parent corporation of Computer City,
commenced paying rent in October
1994. Holobeam reimbursed Tandy Corporation $1,189,675 as an
allowance for costs of
constructing the building and paving
8
<PAGE>
of the site, after a permanent Certificate of Occupancy was
obtained. During 1998, Computer
City Retail Stores were acquired by Comp USA. Tandy Corp.
remains on the lease as guarantor.
9
<PAGE>
(xi) Research and Development.
The Registrant discontinued engineering and development in
connection with the
development of technology associated with semiconductor devices
during 1994 and no funds
were expended in connection with these activities. During 1993
the Registrant recorded research
and development costs of $37,615.00 on such technology. There
have been no such costs
expended during 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998 and 1999 in
connection with this technology.
The Registrant anticipates that no Research and Development
expenditures will be made with
respect to semiconductor technology during the year ended
September 30, 1999.
The Registrant has investigated methods for applying
surgical staples and the technology
presently used to fabricate and apply such staples. During 1999,
1998 and 1997, the Registrant
expended $194,713.00, $224,693.00 and $147,562.00, respectively,
in connection with the
furtherance of this activity. Such costs have been currently
expensed and consist principally of
materials, supplies and costs associated with design and
development.
(xii) Environmental Compliances.
The Registrant does not believe that compliance with
Federal, State or Local provisions
of a governmental nature which have been enacted or adopted
regulating the discharge of
material into the environment will have a materially adverse
effect upon the capital expenditure
requirements, earnings or competitive position of the Registrant.
If the semiconductor technology developed had ever reached
production, the Registrant
would have engaged an accredited, outside manufacturing firm to
perform the production
process. One feature of the Registrant's technology was the
absence of significant waste
materials. Since the Registrant's semiconductor technology was
developed, other technologies
have advanced the state-of-the-art
10
<PAGE>
and new directions in this field have rendered the Registrant's
technology less attractive.
The Registrant's activities with regard to medical staple
technology, at present, are
limited to engineering, development and testing of medical staple
design with fabrication and
manufacturing of prototypes and models sub-contracted to other
firms.
The Registrant is not aware of any potential liabilities or
costs associated with the
disposal or handling of waste materials and is not aware of any
potential violations of local, state
or federal laws which regulate the technology.
(xiii) Employees.
At September 30, 1999 the Registrant employed three persons
as compared to the three
persons at September 30, 1998 and three persons at September 30,
1997.
(d) Financial Information About Foreign
and Domestic Operations and Export
Sales.
The Registrant is not engaged in foreign operations and does
not export to foreign
countries.
Item 2. Properties
The Registrant's headquarters and principal facilities are
located at 217 First Street, Ho-
Ho-Kus, New Jersey 07423-0287. The Registrant leases
approximately 1,000 square feet of
office and laboratory space on a 12 month lease that is annually
renewable. The Registrant owns
two office buildings, one of 62,000 square feet and another of
30,000 square feet located at 50
A&S Drive, Paramus, New Jersey. One building was placed in
service in October 1994, the
other in 1982. (Reference is made to Notes 4, 8, 9 and 10 to the
Financial Statements for the
fiscal year ended September 30, 1995, 1991, 1990 and 1989.)
Pertinent information concerning the Registrant's properties
is as follows.

In 1983, the Registrant purchased 2.799 acres of land
located in Paramus, New Jersey and
adjacent to the building owned by the Registrant at 50 A&S Drive.
The purchase price was
$173,565 which was paid in cash. Since 1983, the Registrant has
incurred costs in the amount of
$60,805 for various improvements and architectural work relating
to development of this
property. During 1992, 1991 and 1990, the Registrant spent
$293,784, $78,051 and $50,667
respectively in connection with an application for a use variance
for the site and various site
improvements that would enable the construction of a commercial
or retail building on the site.
The change in zoning to retail use was approved by the Borough of
Paramus in December 1991.
The change in zoning to allow retail use
13
<PAGE>
also required new site plan approval because the change in use
required new traffic pattern
studies, parking lot re-design and significant additional changes
in order to comply with
governmental requirements.
In addition, the Registrant expended $964,505 through
September 30, 1994 for site plan
approval and changes, and toward construction of a building on
the site. No depreciation or
amortization was recorded until the building and site were put
into service. During October 1994,
construction was completed by Tandy Corporation of a retail
building on the Registrant's site.
The building is now being used for a Comp USA retail store.
(Reference is made to Note 13 to
the Registrant's 1994 Financial Statements and to Item 1, Part X
of the 1994 Form 10K.)
The zoning change approval allowed for retail use of the
property and significantly
enhanced the opportunities for attracting a suitable tenants for
the site.
When purchased, the site adjacent to the building owned by
the Registrant, was 12
(twelve) feet below the acceptable construction level and
required significant amounts of fill
together with site engineering costs to acquire site plan
approval for a building from the
appropriate governmental regulatory authorities.
In addition, the Registrant expended funds during its
efforts to change the zoning of the
property from office use to retail use. This change in zoning
allowed the Registrant to seek
tenants who were engaged in retail operations for the site and
resulted in the October 1994
tenancy of Computer City. (Reference is made to Note 12 of the
Financial Statements for the
year ended September 30, 1997.)
The Registrant was not able to lease the property since the
original site plan allowing
office use was not approved for retail use until the Computer
City occupancy of October 1994.
The market for office space had seen significant decline during
the years ended September 30,
1990, 1991, 1992, 1993 and 1994.
14
<PAGE>
The vacancy rate for such space had reached 28% during the year
ended September 30, 1994 and
1993, respectively for the area in which the Registrant competes,
Bergen County, New Jersey.
The occupancy rate for the building owned by the Registrant
and under lease to The
Sports Authority Inc. for the past five (5) years is as follows:
1999 100%
1998 100%
1997 100%
1996 100%
1995 100%
The building owned by the Registrant and under lease to
Tandy Corp. (now Comp USA)
has been 100% occupied since October 1994. A summary of the
amounts expended for such
approvals for the three most recent fiscal years during which
such expenditures were made
appears below. No such expenditures were made in 1995, 1996,
1997, 1998 or 1999.

The payment of $200,000 during 1992 to Paramus Park, a
retail shopping mall adjacent
to the site currently being developed by the Registrant, was a
one-time fee in connection with
removal of an existing deed restriction which prohibited adjacent
retail activity. The balance of
the payments for site plan approvals were paid to various
engineering, legal and surveying firms
in connection with professional services rendered to obtain
governmental approvals.
No payments to affiliated parties were made in connection
with the zoning changes nor
were any payments made to affiliated or related parties for the
acquisition of site plan approval.
Any payments to affiliated parties are unrelated to the cost of
such activities and are detailed and
disclosed in Item

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and
Results of Operations.
(1) Liquidity.
19
<PAGE>
During the fiscal year ended September 30, 1999,
the Registrant generated
approximately $540,000.00 in cash flows associated with its
real estate rental activities
and anticipates that such cash flows will continue during
the terms of the operating
leases. (Reference is made to Note 3, Rental income under
operating losses, to the
Financial Statements for the years ended September 30, 1999
and 1998).
The Registrant's cash and equivalents increased to
$891,119.00 during 1999 and
has been substantially responsible for an increase of
$42,949.00 in working capital.
It is anticipated that revenues and net rental
income associated with the operating
leases on the properties of the Registrant will be
sufficient to provide the cash flows
necessary to fund the Registrant's operations. The
operating leases expire in 2009 and
2012 and include renewal options, which, if exercised will
provide revenues beyond 2009
and 2012.
Minimum future rental income expected from the
operating leases approximates
$26,185,300.00 and is available during the operating lease
terms and should provide
sufficient cash flows to sustain profitable real estate
operations.
(2) Capital Resources
The properties owned by the Registrant do not
require renovation or additional
construction activities in order to maintain rental
operations. The Registrant does not
anticipate future capital requirements in connection with
its rental properties other than
those that are routine and incidental to the Registrants'
real estate rental business. The
Registrant anticipates expenditures for maintenance,
insurance and taxes,
20
<PAGE>
but has no planned major capital expenditures that would require
significant allocation of
resources. In no event are any expenditures expected to have any
materially adverse effect upon
the Registrant's capital resources.
The Registrant presently intends to continue
funding the development of the
Medical Staples for use in internal surgery. Testing will
continue during 2000 and results
will determine the Registrant's furtherance of such
activities after the fiscal year ended
September 30, 2000. During the year ended September 30,
2000, the Registrant expects
to fund the engineering, testing and development of
approximately $300,000.00.
Revenues associated with the Registrant's real estate rental
activities are expected to
provide the necessary funding for the project to the
$300,000.00 level.
The Registrant anticipates that no revenues will
be realized from the medical
staple technology during the next fiscal year.
During the fiscal year ended September 30, 1999,
the Registrant funded
contributions to the defined benefit pension plan in the
amount of $311,388.00 and was
included in General and Administrative expense in the
Statement of Operations for the
years ended September 30, 1999 and 1998.
The Registrant's funding policy is to make annual
contributions to the plan in
amounts sufficient to fully provide for all eligible
employees' benefits by the time they
retire. Continual funding is not expected to have an
adverse effect upon the Registrant's
financial condition. (Reference is made to Note 15 to the
Registrant's Financial
Statement for the years ended September 30, 1999 and 1998.)
(3) Results of Operations.
21
<PAGE>
(a) During 1999, the Registrant recorded
after-tax income of $197,161.00 as
compared to $166,891.00 for the year ended September 30,
1998. The results of
operations reflect improved performance as a result of
decreased interest expense
associated with the Registrant's mortgage on the rental
properties and in reduced
expenditures in connection with the Registrant's medical
staples project. When
compared to 1998 costs, interest expense decreased
$24,582.00 and Research and
Development decreased $30,677.00. Gains associated with
decreased expenses were
partially offset by increased income tax expense.
The Registrant has 100% tenant occupancy in its
rental properties resulting in
consistent earnings performance for the fiscal years ended
September 30, 1998 and 1999.
The Registrant anticipates that such performance will
continue during the next twelve
(12) months. As the Registrant's properties age, it is
anticipated that the buildings will
require more upkeep and maintenance costs. Such costs are
not expected to materially
effect the long term performance of the Registrant's real
estate rental activities.
During 1999, the Registrant funded the research
and development activities
associated with the medical staple project in the amount of
$194,364.00 which represents
a reduction of $30,677.00 when compared to expenditures for
1998. The Registrant
expects to continue funding this project with the cash flows
associated with its real estate
rental activities during 2000. When definitive testing
results can be obtained, the
Registrant will determine if funding should continue into
fiscal year 2001. The
Registrant expects to fund the project during 2000 for
testing, development and patent
activities in the amount of approximately
22
<PAGE>
$300,000.00.
Funding of the Registrant's defined benefit plan
during the year ended September
30, 1999 was $311,388.00 as compared to $307,773.00 for
1998. The Registrant expects
to continue funding the plan on an annual basis. The
expenses associated with annual
funding of the plan are not expected to have a materially
adverse effect upon the
Registrant's financial condition. (Reference is made to
Exhibit entitled "Defined Benefit
Plan" filed with Quarterly Report Form 10Q for the Quarter
ended June 30, 1998 and
filed on August 8, 1998.)
(b) The Registrant recorded net income for the
year ended September 30,
1998 in the amount of $166,891.00 as compared to $303,882.00
for the year ended
September 30, 1997. The results of operations reflect
improved revenues and income
associated with the Registrant's real estate rental
activities as net rental income was
$1,667,028.00 as compared to $1,578,010.00 in 1997.
The Registrant continues to experience consistent
earnings performance due to
100% occupancy of the Registrant's rental properties and the
favorable long-term
operating leases. Costs associated with the Registrant's
real estate rental activities are
expected to remain at present levels during the short-term
as are the revenues associated
with such operating leases.
Long term, costs are expected to rise with
inflation and some capital maintenance
and repairs are expected as the buildings mature and require
more intensive upkeep.
Since there are rental income escalation provisions
contained in the operating leases,
revenues are expected to be sufficient to provide for such
costs, which are not expected to
have any
23
<PAGE>
materially adverse effects upon the results of operations during
the term of the leases.
The Registrant continued to fund the engineering
and development activities
related to the surgical staple technology it has developed.
Expenditures in connection
with this project for 1998 were $225,041.00, which
represented an increase of $77,479.00
when compared to the 1997 expenditures for the staples
project. The Registrant expects
to continue funding this project during 1999 and will
utilize the cash flows and revenues
from its real estate rental activities to fund the ongoing
testing and development for the
staples project. Testing has commenced at a medical center
but initial results do not
assure the commercial viability of the Registrant's
technology. If more definitive
favorable results are obtained, the Registrant will analyze
its position and determine if
funding should continue beyond fiscal year 1999. The
Registrant anticipates funding
testing, development and patent activities in conjunction
with the staples project during
1999 to approximate $300,000.00.
During 1998, the Registrant contributed
$307,773.00 to its defined benefit plan
(pension plan) which covers all eligible employees who have
completed one year of
service. (Reference is made to Exhibit entitled"Defined
Benefit Plan" filed with
Quarterly Report 10Q for the Quarter ended June 30, 1998 and
filed on August 8, 1998.)
The Registrant expects to continue to fund the pension plan
on an annual basis and does
not expect the expense of such plan to have a materially
adverse effect upon its financial
condition.
(4) Other Matters
24
<PAGE>
The Company is currently continuing work to
resolve the potential impact of the
Year 2000 on the processing of date-sensitive information by
the Company's
computerized information system. The Year 2000 problem is
the result of computer
programs being written using two digits (rather than four)
to define the applicable year.
Any of the Company's programs that have time-sensitive
software may recognize a date
using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000, which
could cause miscalculations
or systems failures. The costs of addressing potential
problems are not expected to have a
material adverse impact on the Company's financial position,
results of operations or
cash flows in future periods. However, if the Company or
its vendors are unable to
resolve such issues in a timely manner, it could result in a
material financial risk. The
Company does plan to devote the necessary resources to
resolve all significant Year 2000
issues in a timely manner.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Holobeam, Inc.

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

require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the

management, as well as
evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audits provide 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 Holobeam, Inc. as of September 30, 1999 and

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999, 1998 AND 1997
NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a. Nature of Operations
The Company is engaged in the rental
of real property for retail use and in
development of surgical staples and the technology
used to apply the staples
for use in internal surgery.
b. Depreciation and Amortization
It is the policy of the Company to
provide for depreciation and amortization
of the building and equipment on a straight-line
and accelerated basis in
amounts sufficient to write-off the cost of the
assets over their estimated
useful lives, which are as follows:
Building and Building Improvements 31. 5 to 40 years
Machinery and Equipment 5 to 7 years
Furniture and Fixtures 7 to 10 years
Maintenance and repairs are charged
to operations in the year in which
incurred, while replacements and betterments are
capitalized by charges to the
appropriate asset accounts. The cost and
accumulated depreciation and
amortization with respect to assets retired or
otherwise disposed, are
eliminated from the assets and related accumulated
depreciation and
amortization accounts and any profit or loss
resulting therefrom is reflected
in operations.
Patent and patent application costs
are amortized on a straight-line basis over
a ten year period.
c. Earnings Per Share
Earnings per share of common stock
has been computed by dividing net
income by the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding
during the year. Diluted earnings per share of
common stock is the same as
earnings per share prior to dilution.
d. Common Stock
Each share of common stock is
entitled to one vote. No such shares of
common stock were reserved at September 30, 1999,
1998 or 1997. On February 19,
1998, the Company retired 747,000 shares of
Treasury Stock purchased
between 1970 and January of 1998 at a cost of
$2,648,902.
e. Statement of Cash Flows
For purposes of reporting cash flows,
all liquid investments with original
maturities of three months or less are considered
cash equivalents.

NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(Continued)
f. Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes are provided on
temporary differences between
financial statement and income tax bases of assets
and liabilities. Generally,
deferred tax assets are recognized in the current
period for the future benefit
of net operating loss carry forwards and items for
which expenses have been
recognized for financial statement purposes, but
will be deductible in future
periods. Valuation allowances are established when
necessary to reduce
deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be
realized.
g. Deferred Charges
It is the policy of the Company to
charge costs associated with the acquisition
of long term debt (mortgages) to expense over the
term of the mortgage.
In addition, the Company charges
costs associated with the procurement of
operating leases, specifically real estate brokers
commissions, to expense
during the term of the operating lease.
h. Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial
statements requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect certain
reported amounts and
disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could
differ from these estimates.
I. Short-Term Investments
Short-term investments have an
original maturity of more than three months
and a remaining maturity of less than 1 year.
These investments are stated at
cost as it is the intent of the company to hold
these securities until maturity.

lease agreement with The Sports
Authority, Inc., Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The
term of the lease is twenty (20)
years with four (4) options to extend the term for
an additional period of five
(5) years in each option.
The Company was responsible for
funding certain improvements to the
building pursuant to the lease agreement and
incurred costs amounting to
$3,567,276 at September 30, 1993. The Company
reimbursed The Sports
Authority, Inc. for such improvements and on
February 5, 1993 the original
lease was amended and the base rent was increased
to reflect the improved
condition of the building.
The Company obtained additional
mortgage financing totaling $7,500,000 in
order to fund reimbursement to The Sports
Authority, Inc., whose former
parent company, K-Mart Corporation (K-mart
Corporation is a public company
and financial information regarding K-mart is

a) In addition to the rent, the tenant
is responsible for real estate taxes and other
assessments as defined in the operating lease.
b) Tandy Corporation has constructed a
30,000 sq.ft. building on the Company's
site located in Paramus, N.J. for use as a Computer
City retail store. Tandy
Corporation commenced paying rent to the Company
pursuant to the terms of
the operating lease on October 1, 1994. The lease
term is for fifteen (15) years
at an annual rental of $630,000 for the first five
years, $724,500 for the second
five years and $833,175 for the last five years.
Tandy Corporation has three (3)
options to extend the term of the lease for an
additional period of five (5) years
for each such option.
Pursuant to the terms and conditions
of the lease, the Company agreed to
reimburse Tandy Corporation up to $1,200,000 plus
the costs of paving the
driveway and parking area and one-half (1/2) the cost
of exterior lighting not
attached to the building. This construction
allowance was amended to
$1,189,675 and paid in cash to Tandy Corporation on
November 9, 1995.
Costs associated with the 30,000 sq. ft. building are as
follows:*

Costs incurred by the Company for use variance
and site improvement (deferred until put in
service at October 1, 1994) 434,821

---------
Total Costs of 30,000 sq. ft. building occupied
by Tandy Corporation. $2,592,513
========
(*) Does not include costs of improvements incurred by the
tenant.
The construction allowance was payable to Tandy Corporation two
(2) months after a permanent certificate of occupancy was issued
by local governmental
authorities. According to the terms and conditions
of the lease agreement,
Tandy Corporation could accrue interest at the
annual rate of 7% on the unpaid
balance and could also cease paying rent until such
amounts payable by the
Company were paid. Accordingly, the Company
elected to pay the amounts in
full on November 9, 1995.
On September 1, 1998, Tandy
Corporation sold Computer City, Inc. to
CompUSA, Inc. The lease was therefore assigned to
CompUSA, Inc. and is
still guaranteed by Tandy Corporation.

applications have been filed on a novel staple. The
staple has been produced and it is
anticipated that tests will continue during 2000 at a
medical center. Research and
development costs in the amounts of $194,364, $225,041

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999, 1998 AND 1997
NOTE 10. DEFERRED SITE COST
The Company incurred costs in connection with
an application for a use variance
and site
improvements for the property owned by the Company at
50 A&S Drive, Paramus, New
Jersey, adjacent to the building owned by the Company
and leased to the Sports
Authority, Inc. Such costs amounting to $806,656 have
been considered to be part of the
site cost and are included in fixed assets.
NOTE 11. OTHER EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
The Financial Accounting Standards Board
issued SFAS No. 106 " Employers
Accounting for Post Retirement Benefits", SFAS No. 112
"Employers Accounting for
Post Employment Benefits", which changed employers'
accounting for these benefits. Since the Company has no
post-retirement benefits plan, and does not offer post
employment benefits, SFAS No. 106 and SFAS No. 112 are
not applicable. During 1999, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board issued SFAS No. 132 "Employers' Disclosures about Pensions
and Other Post Retirement Benefits. SFAS No. 132 is not
applicable for post employment benefits but is applicable to the
Company's pension plan (See Note 15).
NOTE 12. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
The Company maintains its cash balances and
short term investments in several
financial
institutions in excess of the $100,000 guarantee by the
Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (FDIC). At September 30, 1998, this excess
amounted to $357,954.
Substantially all of the Company's income is
rental income received from two
tenants.
These tenants are subject to long-term lease
agreements. (See Note 3)
NOTE 13. FINANCIAL REPORTING BY BUSINESS SEGMENTS
In 1999, the Company adopted Financial
Accounting Standards Board Statement
(SFAS)
No. 131 "Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise
and Related Information". The
information for 1998 and 1997 has been restated to
conform to the 1999 presentation. The
Company's reportable segments are strategic business
units that involve different products
and services. They are managed by a single management
team.
The Company has three business segments as
follows:
Surgical Staples-Engaged in engineering and
design of surgical staples for use in
internal
surgery, and in the technology used to fabricate the
equipment issued to apply the staples.
This segment of the company's business is still in the
research and development stage.
Electro-Optical-Engaged in engineering and
development of equipment for the semi-
conductor industry. The company has discontinued
efforts relating to the electro-optical
segment of its business.

NOTE 14. FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company has a number of financial
instruments, none of which are held for
trading
purposes. The Company estimates that the fair value of
all financial instruments at
September 30, 1999, does not differ materially from the
aggregate carrying values of its
financial instruments recorded in the accompanying
balance sheet. The estimated fair
value amounts have been determined by the Company using
available market information
and appropriate valuation methodologies. Considerable
judgement is necessarily required
in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of
fair value, and accordingly, the
estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts
that the Company could realize in
a current market exchange.

NOTE 15. PENSION PLAN (Continued)
The Company established a defined benefit
plan in 1998 covering all eligible
employees,
who have completed one year of service. Benefits are
based on years of service and the
average compensation during the best three years of
participation.
The Company's funding policy is to make
annual contributions to the plan in
amounts
such that all employees' benefits will be fully
provided for by the time they retire.
Contributions are intended to provide not only for
benefits attributed to service to date but
also for those expected to be earned in the future.
Although it has not expressed any intention
to do so, the Company has the right
under the
plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and
to terminate the Plan subject to the
provisions set forth in ERISA.
In 1999, the Company adopted SFAS No. 132
"Employers' Disclosures about
Pensions
and Other Post Retirement Benefits". The provisions of
SFAS No. 132 revise employers'
disclosures about pension and other post retirement
benefit plans. It does not change the
measurement or recognition of this plan. It
standardizes the disclosure requirements for
pensions and other post retirement benefits to the
extent practicable.
The Company provides defined benefit pension
plan to the employees. The
following
provides a reconciliation of benefit obligations, plan
assets, and funded status of the plan.
