Prefatory Statement
to Form 10-QSB A/1
Amending Form 10-QSB for quarter ended June 30, 1998
For the quarter ended March 31, 1998, the Company owned 52.6% of
Physicians Clinical Laboratory, Inc. ("PCL"). The results of operations of
PCL were accordingly reported by the Company on a consolidated basis for the
quarter ended March 31, 1998.
For each of the quarters ended June 30, 1998 and September 30, 1998,
the Company's ownership interest in PCL was reduced from 52.6% to a minority
ownership of 49.9%, and the Company accounted for this minority ownership
interest by the equity method.
The quarterly reports of the Company for each of the three quarters
ended March 31, 1998, June 30, 1998 and September 30, 1998 included relevant
financial information of PCL. At the time the Company prepared the quarterly
reports on Form 10-QSB, it was not made aware that PCL had made certain
inter-quarter adjustments. The Company became aware of these adjustments only
after it filed its quarterly reports for 10-QSB and when PCL completed its
year end audit. As a result of PCL having made these adjustments, the Company
is making necessary corresponding inter-quarter adjustments to its previously
filed reports on Form 10-QSB.

United Diagnostic, Inc. and Subsidiaries
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Six Months Ended June 30, 1998
(Unaudited)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
United Diagnostic, Inc. ("United" or the "Company"), was originally
organized under the laws of the State of Delaware in September 1981 under the
name of "Applied DNA Systems, Inc." On November 16, 1994, the Company changed
its name to Nu-Tech Bio-Med, Inc. On December 23, 1998, the Company changed its
name to United Diagnostic, Inc.
Due to the Company's delay in retaining new independent auditors,
compounded by the Company's acquisition of a majority interest in a significant
subsidiary in October 1997 which required audited financial statements of such
acquired subsidiary, the Company was unable to complete certain financial and
textual information required to be included in its annual report on Form 10-KSB
for the years ended December 31, 1997 and December 31, 1998, or its quarterly
reports on Form 10-QSB for the periods ended March 31, 1998, June 30, 1998,
September 30, 1998, March 31, 1999, and June 30, 1999, within the time which
such reports were otherwise required to be filed. Accordingly, this report on
Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended June 30, 1998, is being filed late. The
Company's report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1997, was filed
on September 2, 1999, and Form 10-QSB for the three months ended March 31, 1998,
was filed on October 15, 1999. The Company has determined that the inclusion by
way of subsequent event notes to its consolidated financial statements of
certain events and transactions subsequent to June 30, 1998, is necessary to
make a fair presentation of the business of the Company and to enable the reader
to have a fair understanding of the events and transactions that have
transpired. Unless otherwise indicated, as used herein, all references to shares
of the Company's Common Stock and to prices with respect to shares of the
Company's Common Stock give effect to a seventy to one reverse stock split
effective December 23, 1998.
In the opinion of management of United Diagnostic, Inc., the
accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to
present fairly the financial position of the Company at June 30, 1998, and the
results of operations and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 1998, and
1997.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Analytical Biosystems Corporation
("ABC") (inactive since November 3, 1997), NTBM Billing Services, Inc. ("NTBM")
(inactive since April 1998) and Medical Science Institute, Inc. ("MSI"), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of United from November 18, 1996, until February 26,
1997, when United sold equity interests in MSI to Physicians Clinical
Laboratory, Inc. (Note 3a). The 1997 consolidated financial statements also
include the accounts of Physicians Clinical Laboratory, Inc. ("PCL") originally
a 52.6%-owned subsidiary of the Company (as of October 3, 1997) and now a
49.9%-owned subsidiary (as of June 16, 1998)
Page 7 of 36
<PAGE>
(inactive since May 10, 1999, when substantially all of the assets of PCL
were sold) (Note 3b). All material intercompany transactions and balances
have been eliminated. Where appropriate, prior year amounts have been
reclassified to permit comparison.
ABC was a clinical oncology laboratory service and research company
located in Rhode Island (inactive since November 1997, Note 3c). NTBM was a
medical billing service business located in Florida (inactive since April 1998,
Note 3d). MSI was a full service medical laboratory facility which operated
throughout the State of California (Note 3a). PCL was a full service medical
laboratory facility which operated throughout the State of California (inactive
since May 10, 1999, Note 3b).
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis
that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has expended cash
in excess of cash generated from operations, has not achieved sufficient
revenues to support future operations and has a working capital deficiency. In
addition, the Company's subsidiary is in default under a substantial portion of
its debt agreements, which allows its lenders the right to accelerate the debt
repayment. Subsequent to default, PCL sold all of its assets and the
consideration for the sale was paid to the debt holders. These conditions raise
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect
the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets
or the amounts and classification of liabilities or any other adjustments that
might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
On December 23, 1998, the Company effected a seventy to one common
stock reverse split. An amount equal to the par value of the common shares
relinquished was transferred from the common stock account to capital in excess
of par value. All references to number of common shares and to per share
information in the consolidated financial statements have been adjusted to
reflect the stock reverse split on a retroactive basis. The shares authorized
and par value per share did not change (Note 8b).
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included. Operating results for the six month period ended June 30, 1998,
are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ended December 31, 1998. For further information, refer to the consolidated
financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual
report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1997.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Company commenced full consolidation of PCL in October 1997 upon
its acquisition of a majority ownership (52.6%) of PCL. Accordingly, for the
fourth quarter of 1997, the operating results of PCL were consolidated with the
operating results of the Company
Page 8 of 36
<PAGE>
and its other wholly-owned subsidiaries, and the assets and liabilities of
PCL were consolidated with those of the Company and its other majority-owned
subsidiaries in the Company's consolidated balance sheets. The minority
interest in losses of PCL has been recognized in excess of the minority
interest in the equity capital of PCL since the minority shareholders have
advances to PCL in the form of senior secured notes. The negative minority
interest has been recorded as a reduction of liabilities in the accompanying
balance sheets at December 31, 1997.
During the time which the Company owned a majority interest in PCL, the
Company accounted for its investment in PCL under the consolidation method, and
continued to recognize its 52.6% share of PCL losses, through June 10, 1998. On
June 10, 1998, the Company sold a portion of its share ownership in PCL, and the
Company's ownership percentage in PCL was reduced from 52.6% to 49.9%. As such,
subsequent to June 10, 1998, the Company commenced to account for its remaining
investment in PCL under the equity method of accounting, rather than the
consolidation method. Under the equity method, investments are recorded at cost
reduced by the Company's proportionate share of losses. Any losses in excess of
the investment are not recognized until future profits or additional investments
occur. The Company's share of PCL losses recognized from date of acquisition
through June 10, 1998, exceeded its investment in PCL. In the deconsolidation of
PCL, the Company adjusted its negative investment to zero and recorded the
remainder as an adjustment to capital in excess of par value.
Under the equity method, any positive net investment is presented in
the balance sheet, and the share of losses is presented as one amount in the
statements of operations. For the second quarter ending June 30, 1998, the
Company's proportionate share of PCL losses for the six months ended June 30,
1998, are presented on the statement of operations as equity loss in subsidiary.
The three months ended March 31, 1998, have been restated to reflect the
deconsolidation and the six months ended June 30, 1998, present the Company's
share of PCL losses for the six months on the equity method.

3. ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS
a. MEDICAL SCIENCE INSTITUTE
On November 18, 1996, the United States Bankruptcy Court of the Central
District of California approved the First Amended Plan of Reorganization (the
"MSI Plan") of Medical Science Institute ("MSI") pursuant to which the Company
acquired all of the capital stock of MSI. The acquisition was in the form of a
purchase.
On February 26, 1997, the Company completed the sale of its ownership
interest in MSI to Physicians Clinical Laboratory, Inc. ("PCL") (Note 3b). The
Company sold its interests in MSI to PCL for its original costs aggregating
approximately $7.6 million.
As a result of the above transactions, during the first quarter of
1997, the Company owned MSI for the 57 day period beginning January 1, 1997 and
ending February 26, 1997.
b. PHYSICIANS CLINICAL LABORATORY, INC.
In 1996, the Company acquired certain debt securities of Physicians
Clinical Laboratory, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("PCL"). United reached an
agreement (the "PCL Plan") with the holders of the Senior Debt, Subordinated
Debt and the management of PCL whereby United would acquire a 52.6% interest in
PCL. The terms of the agreement provided that PCL file a plan to effectuate the
agreement. As required by the aforementioned agreement, the Company purchased
approximately $13,300,000 of Senior Debt for $10,000,000 on November 7, 1996. On
November 8, 1996, PCL and its then subsidiaries filed a petition for relief
under Chapter 11 of the Federal Bankruptcy Laws in the United States Bankruptcy
Court.
On the effective date (October 1997), as required under the PCL Plan,
the debt purchased by United was converted into 35.6% of the common stock of
PCL. United acquired an additional 17% of the common stock in exchange for a
$5,000,000 note received in the MSI sale (Note 3a), resulting in United owning
52.6% of the outstanding common stock of PCL. United accounted for the
acquisition under the purchase method. The Company's acquisition cost consisted
of the $15 million investment above, plus deferred acquisition costs, less the
deferred gain on the sale of MSI. The Company recorded approximately $2 million
in excess cost over the fair market value of net assets acquired ("goodwill").
Minority interest in losses of PCL has been recognized in excess of the
minority interest in the equity capital of PCL since the minority shareholders
have advances to PCL in the form of senior secured notes. Accordingly, the
minority interest excess has been recorded as a reduction of liabilities in the
accompanying balance sheet at December 31, 1997.
In June, 1998, the Company sold 67,500 shares of PCL common stock to a
senior lender and significant stockholder of PCL for $750,000, in conjunction
with a loan by that stockholder of $4 million to PCL. As a result of the sale,
United's ownership was reduced to 49.9% of the
Page 11 of 36
<PAGE>
issued and outstanding shares of PCL. The transaction also resulted in
amendment of the Stockholder Agreement. The agreement as amended provides the
lender stockholder with the right to elect the majority of the board and
provides United rights under certain corporate governance provisions.
On April 5, 1999, PCL entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement for the
sale of the business and substantially all assets to Unilab Corp for a total
purchase price of approximately $40 million. The sale closed on May 10, 1999,
(Note 8a). Concurrent with the sale, the Stockholder Agreement was amended to
provide payment to the Company of $3.25 million in cash upon satisfaction of
certain conditions. The Company received this payment in May 1999.
As a result of the agreement, the Company reevaluated the
recoverability of PCL's excess reorganization value based upon an estimated loss
on the sale, including costs of disposal. PCL recorded an additional write-down
of $10.6 million, resulting in a total write-down of excess reorganization value
of approximately $45.3 million, as of December 31, 1997.
As a result of the above transactions, the Consolidated Financial
Statements relating to the six months ended June 30, 1997, do not include the
Company's 52.6% majority ownership or subsequent 49.9% minority ownership of
Physicians Clinical Laboratory, Inc.; however, the six months ended June 30,
1998, is presented on the basis of the Company's 49.9% minority ownership of PCL
under the equity method of accounting as described in Note 2.
c. ANALYTICAL BIOSYSTEMS CORPORATION
ABC has ceased processing specimens for the assay and suspended its
laboratory operations in Rhode Island in November, 1997.
d. NTBM BILLING SERVICES, INC. (D/B/A PROMPT MEDICAL BILLING)
On October 21, 1996, the Company, through a newly formed wholly-owned
subsidiary, NTBM Billing Services, Inc. ("NTBM"), acquired all of the medical
billing service assets of Prompt Medical Billing Services, Inc., a privately
owned Florida corporation engaged in the medical billing service business. The
acquisition was in the form of a purchase. The Company acquired the assets for a
total consideration of $675,000 consisting of $100,000 in cash and 525 shares of
restricted common stock of the Company. The number of shares were subject to
increase in the event the fair market value of the shares at the termination of
the two year period was less than $500,000 or in the event the holders were
unable to sell the shares. All consideration paid by the Company was placed into
escrow for a period of up to two years, to be released upon the attainment of
certain performance levels. In 1998, the cash consideration was released from
escrow.
In connection with this acquisition, the Company recorded $754,591 of
excess cost over the fair market value of net assets acquired ("goodwill")
related to this transaction. Additionally, the Company entered into employment
and consulting agreements with the former owners of Prompt Medical Billing.
Page 12 of 36
<PAGE>
In late March 1998, the former owners ceased performing their duties.
NTBM subsequently lost its principal customer and ceased operations during the
second quarter of 1998. The Company has ceased paying the former owners under
the employment and consulting agreements.
On July 8, 1998 an arbitration was commenced before the AAA in Miami,
Florida entitled JUDITH PRUSSIN AND HEALTH SYSTEMS DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION
AGAINST NTBM BILLING SERVICES, INC AND NU-TECH BIO MED, INC. (Case No. 32 160
00219 98). The case concerned employment and consulting agreements between the
Company and claimants, which agreements were executed in conjunction with the
purchase by the Company of the claimants' business, Prompt Medical Billing, Inc.
("PMBI"), in October of 1996. Specifically in dispute were the amounts owed to
claimants in light of the cessation of PMBI's business operations. Claimants
sought damages in the amount of $44,187.28 along with interest, costs and
attorneys fees associated with the arbitration. The matter was settled by
confidential agreement of the parties, dated on or about May 28, 1999 and
formally dismissed on June 17, 1999. The settlement provided, among other items,
that the Company pay $35,000 to claimants and the claimants assign the right to
collect an outstanding account payable to PMBI in the amount of $70,000. The
first $10,000 collected from the outstanding account is to be paid to the
Company, with any additional amounts collected to be split 50/50 amongst
claimants and the Company. The right to collect the $70,000 reverts to the
Company if at least $10,000 has not been collected by November 1, 1999 and a
payment plan for the remainder is not in place.
On July 22, 1998 an arbitration was commenced before the AAA in New
York, New York entitled NU-TECH BIO MED, INC. AND NTBM BILLING SERVICES, INC V.
JUDITH PRUSSIN, JEFFREY PRUSSIN AND PROMPT MEDICAL BILLING, INC. (Case No. 13
180 00703 98). The case arose from the purchase by the Company of the
respondents' business, PMBI, in October of 1996. Subsequent to the purchase, the
business lost its principal customer and ceased operations. In the arbitration,
the Company sought from the former owners of PMBI, inter alia, a judgment which
constituted the return of the purchase price of PMBI (i.e., the return of
approximately $100,000 in cash and the right to certain stock held in escrow
pursuant to the Purchase Agreement). In an Award originally dated April 9, 1999
(and affirmed by the arbitrator on May 27, 1999), the arbitrator denied the
relief sought by the Company and refused to grant the relief sought by
respondents. On April 19, 1999, the Company initiated a Special Proceeding in
the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York captioned IN RE
THE ARBITRATION OF CERTAIN CONTROVERSIES BETWEEN NU-TECH BIO MED, INC. AND NTBM
BILLING SERVICES, INC V. JUDITH PRUSSIN, JEFFREY PRUSSIN AND PROMPT MEDICAL
BILLING, INC. (Index No. 108158/99) to affirm the Award. The Special Proceeding
is currently at the initial pleadings stage.
4. DELISTING FROM THE NASDAQ SMALLCAP MARKET
By letter dated April 17, 1998, from The Nasdaq Stock Market, the
Company was advised that Nasdaq had commenced proceedings to delist the
Company's Common Stock from inclusion in the Nasdaq SmallCap Market ("NSCM") by
reason of the inability of the Company to file its Annual Report on Form 10-KSB
for the year ended December 31, 1997. The inability of the Company to file its
Annual Report on Form 10-KSB was occasioned because the audit of the Company's
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1997, was delayed by
Page 13 of 36
<PAGE>
reason of a pending change in the Company's independent auditors. The Company
requested a hearing with respect to the delisting proceedings. On June 1,
1998, the Company was notified by The Nasdaq Stock Market that the Company's
Common Stock would be delisted from the NSCM, effective as of the close of
business on June 1, 1998. The notification resulted from a determination by a
Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel, following a hearing held on May 14,
1998, to reject the Company's request for continued inclusion on the NSCM.
The Company's Common Stock was quoted on the NSCM through May 15, 1998. The
Company believes that the delisting of the Common Stock has had a depressive
effect upon the market price of the Common Stock and adversely affected the
liquidity of the Common Stock because, subsequent to May 15, 1998, the Common
Stock has been quoted in the "pink sheets" maintained by National Quotation
Bureau, Inc., which is not an established trading market.
5. DEBT
In March 1998, the Company obtained a loan in the principal amount of
$250,000. Principal and interest at 10% are due on the earlier of April 1999 or
consummation of a private placement with defined proceeds. The new loan is
secured by a pledge of 125,000 shares of PCL stock. As a condition to making the
loan, the lender required, and the board approved, issuing the lender warrants
to purchase 44,000 shares of common stock stated on a presumed post-reverse
split basis. The exercise price will be equal to the closing bid of the common
stock on the first business day following the effective date of the reverse
split, subject to reduction if a private placement is made following the reverse
split at a lower price. The warrants are exercisable until the fifth anniversary
of the reverse split. The warrants have not been issued and the exercise price
is not determinable since the Company's common stock was delisted prior to the
effective date of the reverse split. The Company estimated the value of the
warrants using an exercise price based upon market price at the date of the loan
as adjusted for the reverse split. The Company recorded a discount on the debt
of $143,000 for the prorata warrant value and recognized $21,000 in interest
expense during the six months ended June 30, 1998, relating to the discount
(non-cash item).
6. CHANGE IN CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT
By letter dated May 5, 1998, the Company was notified by Ernst & Young
LLP ("E&Y") that E&Y's relationship as independent auditors for the Company has
ceased. The Company believes that termination of the auditing relationship was
due to the inability of the Company to pay to that firm fees previously incurred
and past due and owing and that such decision did not result from any
disagreement or dispute concerning accounting principles or practices, financial
statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure.
Subsequently, Grant Thornton LLP agreed to accept the engagement as the
Company's independent auditors. Grant Thornton has audited the Company's
Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 1997, and
released a Report of Independent Certified Public Accountants which was filed
with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB on September 2, 1999.
Additionally, Grant Thornton has accepted the engagement to audit the Company's
Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 1998, which as
yet has not been completed.

7. ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement No. 128, Earnings Per Share (FAS 128), which was adopted on December
31, 1997. FAS 128 requires companies to change the method currently used to
compute earnings per share and to restate all prior periods for comparability.
The adoption of FAS 128 had no impact on the Company's previously reported
earnings per share because common stock equivalents are excluded as their effect
is antidilutive.
8. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
a. SALE OF PCL ASSETS TO UNILAB
On April 5, 1999, Physicians Clinical Laboratory, Inc. ("PCL")
entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement for the sale of the business and
substantially all assets to Unilab Corp for a total purchase price of
approximately $40 million (Note 3b). The sale closed on May 10, 1999.
Concurrent with the sale, the Stockholder Agreement was amended to provide
payment to the Company of $3.25 million in cash upon satisfaction of certain
conditions. The Company received this payment in May 1999.
As a result of the agreement, the Company reevaluated the
recoverability of PCL's excess reorganization value based upon an estimated loss
on the sale, including costs of disposal. PCL recorded an additional write-down
of $10.6 million, resulting in a total write-down of excess reorganization value
of approximately $45.3 million, as of December 31, 1997.
b. REVERSE STOCK SPLIT AND COMPANY NAME CHANGE
Pursuant to prior stockholder authorization, the Company filed a
Certificate of Amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation effective December
23, 1998, (i) effecting a seventy to one reverse stock split of its issued and
outstanding Common Stock, resulting in each 70 issued and outstanding shares of
the Common Stock being changed into one share, and (ii) changing the name of the
Company to United Diagnostic, Inc.
SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT
Certain statements in this Form 10-QSB, including information set forth
under Item 2 "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations" constitute or may constitute "forward-looking statements"
within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the
"Act"). United Diagnostic, Inc. (the "Company") desires to avail itself of
certain "safe harbor" provisions of the Act and is therefore including this
special note to enable the Company to do so. Forward-looking statements included
in this Form 10-QSB or hereafter included in other publicly available documents
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, reports to the Company's
stockholders and other publicly available statements issued or released by the
Company involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors which
could cause the Company's actual results, performance (financial or
Page 15 of 36

operating) or achievements to differ from the future results, performance
(financial or operating) achievements expressed or implied by such
forward-looking statement. Such future results are based upon management's
best estimates based upon current conditions and the most recent results of
operations. These risks include, but are not limited to, the ability of the
Company to identify and obtain a viable business and all of the risks (known
and unknown) relating to any new and as yet unidentified business within the
timeframe inherent in the Company's cash limitations. The Company, in the
future, will need additional funds from loans and/or the sale of equity
securities. No assurance can be given that such funds will be available or,
if available, will be on commercially reasonable terms satisfactory to the
Company. In addition the report of the Company's independent auditors on the
consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December
31, 1997, contains an explanatory paragraph that there are certain conditions
that raise substantial doubt about the ability to continue as a going
concern. The Company to date has been materially dependent upon the efforts
of its President and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. J. Marvin Feigenbaum. The
loss of Mr. Feigenbaum's services may have a materially adverse effect upon
the business or operations of the Company.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
PRELIMINARY NOTES TO MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
1. ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS
A. MEDICAL SCIENCE INSTITUTE, INC.
On November 18, 1996, the United States Bankruptcy Court of the
Central District of California approved the First Amended Plan of
Reorganization (the "MSI Plan") of Medical Science Institute ("MSI") pursuant
to which the Company acquired all of the capital stock of MSI.
On February 26, 1997, the Company completed the sale of its
ownership interest in MSI to Physicians Clinical Laboratory, Inc. ("PCL")
(Note 3b). The Company sold its interests in MSI to PCL for its original
costs aggregating approximately $7.6 million.
As a result of the above transactions, during the first quarter of
1997, the Company owned MSI for the 57 day period beginning January 1, 1997
and ending February 26, 1997. Therefore, Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations relating to the six months
ended June 30, 1997, is presented on the basis of the Company's temporary
ownership of MSI.
B. PHYSICIANS CLINICAL LABORATORY, INC.
In 1996, the Company acquired certain debt securities of Physicians
Clinical Laboratory, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("PCL"). United reached an
agreement (the "PCL Plan") with the holders of the Senior Debt, Subordinated
Debt and the management of PCL whereby United would acquire a 52.6% interest
in PCL. The terms of the agreement provided that PCL file a plan to
effectuate the agreement. As required by the aforementioned agreement, the
Company purchased approximately $13,300,000 of Senior Debt for $10,000,000 on
November 7, 1996. On November 8, 1996, PCL and its then subsidiaries filed a
petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the Federal Bankruptcy Laws in the
United States Bankruptcy Court.
On the effective date (October 1997), as required under the PCL
Plan, the debt purchased by United was converted into 35.6% of the common
stock of PCL. United acquired an additional 17% of the common stock in
exchange for a $5,000,000 note received in the MSI sale (Note 3a), resulting
in United owning 52.6% of the outstanding common stock of PCL. United
accounted for the acquisition under the purchase method. The Company's
acquisition cost consisted of the $15 million investment above, plus deferred
acquisition costs, less the deferred gain on the sale of MSI (Note 3a). The
Company recorded approximately $2 million in excess cost over the fair market
value of net assets acquired ("goodwill").
Page 17 of 36
<PAGE>
Minority interest in losses of PCL has been recognized in excess of
the minority interest in the equity capital of PCL since the minority
shareholders have advances to PCL in the form of senior secured notes.
Accordingly, the minority interest excess has been recorded as a reduction of
liabilities in the accompanying balance sheet at December 31, 1997.
In June, 1998, the Company sold 67,500 shares of PCL common stock to
a senior lender and significant stockholder of PCL for $750,000, in
conjunction with a loan by that stockholder of $4 million to PCL. As a result
of the sale, United's ownership was reduced to 49.9% of the issued and
outstanding shares of PCL. The transaction also resulted in amendment of the
Stockholder Agreement. The agreement as amended provides the lender
stockholder with the right to elect the majority of the board and provides
United rights under certain corporate governance provisions.
On April 5, 1999, PCL entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement for
the sale of the business and substantially all assets to Unilab Corp for a
total purchase price of approximately $40 million. The sale closed on May 10,
1999, (Note 8a). Concurrent with the sale, the Stockholder Agreement was
amended to provide payment to the Company of $3.25 million in cash upon
satisfaction of certain conditions. The Company received this payment in May
1999.
As a result of the agreement, the Company reevaluated the
recoverability of PCL's excess reorganization value based upon an estimated
loss on the sale, including costs of disposal. PCL recorded an additional
write-down of $10.6 million, resulting in a total write-down of excess
reorganization value of approximately $45.3 million, as of December 31, 1997.
As a result of the above transactions, the Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations relating to the
three and six months ended June 30, 1997, do not include the Company's 52.6%
majority ownership or subsequent 49.9% minority ownership of Physicians
Clinical Laboratory, Inc.; however, the three and six months ended June 30,
1998, is presented on the basis of the Company's 49.9% minority ownership of
PCL under the equity method of accounting as described in Note 2.
C. ANALYTICAL BIOSYSTEMS CORPORATION
ABC has ceased processing specimens for the assay and suspended its
laboratory operations in Rhode Island in November, 1997.
As a result, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations relating to the three and six months
ended June 30, 1997, do include the operations of ABC; however, the three and
six months ended June 30, 1998, do not include the operations of ABC.
D. NTBM BILLING SERVICES, INC. (D/B/A PROMPT MEDICAL BILLING)
On October 21, 1996, the Company, through a newly formed
wholly-owned subsidiary, NTBM Billing Services, Inc. ("NTBM"), acquired all
of the medical billing service assets of Prompt Medical Billing Services,
Inc., a privately owned Florida corporation engaged in the
Page 18 of 36
<PAGE>
medical billing service business. The acquisition was in the form of a
purchase. The Company acquired the assets for a total consideration of
$675,000 consisting of $100,000 in cash and 525 shares of restricted common
stock of the Company. The number of shares were subject to increase in the
event the fair market value of the shares at the termination of the two year
period was less than $500,000 or in the event the holders were unable to sell
the shares. All consideration paid by the Company was placed into escrow for
a period of up to two years, to be released upon the attainment of certain
performance levels. In 1998, the cash consideration was released from escrow.
In connection with this acquisition, the Company recorded $754,591
of excess cost over the fair market value of net assets acquired ("goodwill")
related to this transaction. Additionally, the Company entered into
employment and consulting agreements with the former owners of Prompt Medical
Billing.
In late March 1998, the former owners ceased performing their
duties. NTBM subsequently lost its principal customer and ceased operations
during the second quarter of 1998. The Company has ceased paying the former
owners under the employment and consulting agreements.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Company commenced full consolidation of PCL in October 1997 upon
its acquisition of a majority ownership (52.6%) of PCL. Accordingly, for the
fourth quarter of 1997, the operating results of PCL were consolidated with
the operating results of the Company and its other wholly-owned subsidiaries,
and the assets and liabilities of PCL were consolidated with those of the
Company and its other majority-owned subsidiaries in the Company's
consolidated balance sheets. The minority interest in losses of PCL has been
recognized in excess of the minority interest in the equity capital of PCL
since the minority shareholders have advances to PCL in the form of senior
secured notes. The negative minority interest has been recorded as a
reduction of liabilities in the accompanying balance sheets at December 31,
1997.
During the time which the Company owned a majority interest in PCL,
the Company accounted for its investment in PCL under the consolidation
method, and continued to recognize it's 52.6% share of PCL losses, through
June 10, 1998. On June 10, 1998, the Company sold a portion of its share
ownership in PCL, and the Company's ownership percentage in PCL was reduced
from 52.6% to 49.9%. As such, subsequent to June 10, 1998, the Company
commenced to account for its remaining investment in PCL under the equity
method of accounting, rather than the consolidation method. Under the equity
method, investments are recorded at cost reduced by the Company's
proportionate share of losses. Any losses in excess of the investment are not
recognized until future profits or additional investments occur. The
Company's share of PCL losses recognized from date of acquisition through
June 10, 1998, exceeded its investment in PCL. In the deconsolidation of PCL,
the Company adjusted its negative investment to zero and recorded the
remainder as an adjustment to capital in excess of par value.
Under the equity method, any positive net investment is presented in
the balance sheet, and the share of losses is presented as one amount in the
statements of operations. For the second
Page 19 of 36
<PAGE>
quarter ending June 30, 1998, the Company's proportionate share of PCL losses
for the six months ended June 30, 1998, are presented on the statement of
operations as equity loss in subsidiary. The three months ended March 31,
1998, have been restated to reflect the deconsolidation and the six months
ended June 30, 1998, present the Company's share of PCL losses for the six
months on the equity method.
Three months ended June 30, 1998, compared with three months ended June 30,
1997
Results of Operations
Total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1998, were
$22,428 compared to $177,859 for the three months ended June 30, 1997. The
decrease of $155,431 is primarily due to a decrease in medical billing
services revenue of approximately $113,032 resulting from the closure of NTBM
in April 1998, as well as a decrease in net assay sales of approximately
$42,399 resulting from the closure of ABC in November 1997.
Assay sales, net of billing adjustments, from the processing ABC's
assay, the Fluorescent Cytoprint Assay, were $42,399 for the three months
ended June 30, 1997. Due to the closure of ABC's laboratory operations in
November 1997, there were no assay sales for the three months ended June 30,
1998.
Medical billing services revenues were $22,428 for the three months
ended June 30, 1998, as compared to $135,460 for the three months ended June
30, 1997. The decrease of $113,032 is primarily due to the closure of NTBM in
April 1998.
Total operating costs for the three months ended June 30, 1998, were
$363,806 compared to $713,169 for the three months ended June 30, 1997. The
decrease in total operating costs of $349,363 is primarily due to decreases
of $46,372 in laboratory expenses, $76,273 in medical billing services
expenses, $165,155 in sales, general and administrative expenses, $16,287 in
research and development expenses, and $45,276 in depreciation and
amortization expenses, primarily resulting from the closures of NTBM and ABC
in April 1998 and November 1997, respectively.
Laboratory expenses were $46,372 for the three months ended June 30,
1997. Due to the closure of ABC's laboratory operations in November 1997,
there were no laboratory expenses for the three months ended June 30, 1998.
Medical billing services expenses were $38,198 for the three months
ended June 30, 1998, as compared to $114,471 for the three months ended June
30, 1997. The decrease of $76,273 is primarily due to the closure of NTBM in
April 1998.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months
ended June 30, 1998, were $324,809 compared to $489,964 for the three months
ended June 30, 1997. The decrease of $165,155 is primarily due to decreases
in accounting and financial printing expenses, rent and telephone expenses
due to the closure of the Company's New York offices, SEC filing and
Page 20 of 36
<PAGE>
franchise tax expenses, as well as decreases resulting from the closure of
ABC's operations in November 1997.
The Company reported no research and development expenses for the
three months ended June 30, 1998, as compared to $16,287 for the three months
ended June 30, 1997. The decrease is primarily due to the closure of ABC's
laboratory operations in November 1997.
Operating loss for the three months ended June 30, 1998, was
$341,378 compared to $535,310 for the three months ended June 30, 1997. The
decrease of $193,932 is primarily due to an decrease in total operating costs
of $349,363, offset by a decrease in total revenues of $155,431.
Investment and interest income for the three months ended June 30,
1998, was $750,000 compared to $8,715 for the three months ended June 30,
1997. In June 1998, the Company sold 67,500 shares of PCL common stock to a
senior lender and significant stockholder of PCL for $750,000, in conjunction
with a loan by that stockholder of $4 million to PCL.
Equity in loss in subsidiary for the three months ended June 30,
1998, was $1,339,880. On June 10, 1998, the Company sold a portion of its
share ownership in PCL, and the Company's ownership percentage in PCL was
reduced from 52.6% to 49.9%. As such, subsequent to June 10, 1998, the
Company commenced to account for its remaining investment in PCL under the
equity method of accounting, rather than the consolidation method. For the
second quarter ending June 30, 1998, the Company's proportionate share of PCL
losses for the three months ended June 30, 1998, are presented on the
statement of operations as equity loss in subsidiary.
Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 1998, was
$29,513 compared to $4,229 for the three months ended June 30, 1997. The
increase of $25,284 is primarily due to the interest recorded in connection
with a loan the Company obtained in March 1998 in the principal amount of
$250,000. Principal and interest at 10% are due on the earlier of April 1999
or consummation of a private placement with defined proceeds.
Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 1998, was $960,771 as
compared to $530,824 for the three months ended June 30, 1997. The increase
in net loss of $429,947 is primarily due to a decrease in operating loss of
$193,932 and the sale of 67,500 shares of PCL common stock to a senior lender
and significant stockholder of PCL for $750,000, offset by the equity in loss
in subsidiary of $1,339,880.
Net loss per share of Common Stock for the three months ended June
30, 1998, was $1.41 compared to $9.21 for the three months ended June 30,
1997. The decrease is primarily due to an increase in weighted average common
shares outstanding. Weighted average shares were 682,622 and 57,612 for the
three months ended June 30, 1998, and 1997, respectively.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998, COMPARED WITH SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997
Results of Operations
Total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1998, were $113,179
compared to $2,120,691 for the six months ended June 30, 1997, which includes
Medical Science Institute's ("MSI") total revenues for the 57 day period
beginning January 1, 1997, and ending February 26, 1997, of $1,798,361.
Without the inclusion of MSI's total revenues, total revenues for the six
months ended June 30, 1998, would have been $113,179 as compared to $322,330
for the six months ended June 30, 1997. The decrease of $209,151 is primarily
due to a decrease in medical billing services revenue of approximately
$131,362 resulting from the closure of NTBM in April 1998, as well as a
decrease in net assay sales and contract revenue of approximately $77,789
resulting from the closure of ABC in November 1997.
Assay sales, net of billing adjustments, from the processing of
ABC's assay, the Fluorescent Cytoprint Assay, were $72,249 for the six months
ended June 30, 1997. Due to the closure of ABC's laboratory operations in
November 1997, there were no assay sales for the six months ended June 30,
1998.
Contract revenue was $5,540 for the six months ended June 30, 1997.
Due to the closure of ABC's laboratory operations in November 1997, there was
no contract revenue for the six months ended June 30, 1998.
Laboratory revenues, net of billing adjustments, were $1,798,361 for
the six months ended June 30, 1997, resulting from the inclusion of MSI's
laboratory revenues for the 57 day period beginning January 1, 1997, and
ending February 26, 1997.
Medical billing services revenues were $113,179 for the six months
ended June 30, 1998, as compared to $244,541 for the six months ended June
30, 1997. The decrease of $131,362 is primarily due to the closure of NTBM in
April 1998.
Total operating costs for the six months ended June 30, 1998, were
$1,489,945 compared to $3,462,235 for the six months ended June 30, 1997,
which includes MSI's total operating costs for the 57 day period beginning
January 1, 1997, and ending February 26, 1997, of $2,092,447. Without the
inclusion of MSI's total operating costs, total operating costs for the six
months ended June 30, 1998, would have been $1,489,945 as compared to
$1,369,788 for the six months ended June 30, 1997. The increase in total
operating costs of $120,157 is primarily due to a write down of intangibles
of approximately $645,472 recorded in the six months ended June 30, 1998,
offset by decreases in selling, general and administrative expenses of
approximately $153,400, laboratory and research and development expenses of
approximately $123,000, medical billing services expenses of approximately
$70,800 and depreciation and amortization expense of approximately $178,000.
The Company recorded no laboratory expenses for the six months ended
June 30, 1998, a result of the closure of ABC's laboratory operations in
November 1997. Laboratory expenses for
Page 22 of 36
<PAGE>
the six months ended June 30, 1997, were $1,464,665 resulting from the
inclusion of MSI's laboratory revenues for the 57 day period beginning
January 1, 1997, and ending February 26, 1997, of $1,374,422. Without the
inclusion of MSI's laboratory expenses, laboratory expenses for the six
months ended June 30, 1997, would have been $90,243.
Medical billing services expenses were $167,672 for the six months
ended June 30, 1998, as compared to $238,400 for the six months ended June
30, 1997. The decrease of $70,728 is primarily due to the closure of NTBM in
April 1998.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months
ended June 30, 1998, were $655,813 compared to $1,382,206 for the six months
ended June 30, 1997, which includes MSI's selling, general and administrative
expenses for the 57 day period beginning January 1, 1997, and ending February
26, 1997, of $573,025. Without the inclusion of MSI's selling, general and
administrative expenses, selling, general and administrative expenses for the
six months ended June 30, 1998, would have been $655,813 as compared to
$809,181 for the six months ended June 30, 1997. The decrease of $153,368 is
primarily due to decreases in accounting and financial printing expenses,
rent and telephone expenses due to the closure of the Company's New York
offices, SEC filing and franchise tax expenses, as well as decreases
resulting from the closure of ABC's operations in November 1997.
The Company reported no research and development expenses for six
months ended June 30, 1998, as compared to $32,897 for the six months ended
June 30, 1997. The decrease is primarily due to the closure of ABC's
laboratory operations in November 1997.
Operating loss for the six months ended June 30, 1998, was
$1,376,766 compared to $1,341,544 for the six months ended June 30, 1997,
which includes MSI's operating loss for the 57 day period beginning January
1, 1997, and ending February 26, 1997, of $294,086. Without the inclusion of
MSI's operating losses, operating losses for the six months ended June 30,
1998, would have been $1,376,766 as compared to $1,047,458 for the six months
ended June 30, 1997. The increase of $329,308 is due to an increase in total
operating costs of $120,157 primarily a result of a write down of intangibles
of approximately $645,472 recorded in the six months ended June 30, 1998,
offset by decreases in selling, general and administrative expenses of
approximately $153,400, laboratory and research and development expenses of
approximately $123,000, medical billing services expenses of approximately
$70,800 and depreciation and amortization expense of approximately $178,000,
as well as a decrease in total revenues of $209,151, resulting primarily from
the closures of NTBM and ABC in April 1998 and November 1997, respectively.
Investment and interest income for the six months ended June 30,
1998, was $750,000 compared to $18,980 for the six months ended June 30,
1997. In June 1998, the Company sold 67,500 shares of PCL common stock to a
senior lender and significant stockholder of PCL for $750,000, in conjunction
with a loan by that stockholder of $4 million to PCL
Equity in loss in subsidiary for the six months ended June 30, 1998,
was $2,974,658. On June 10, 1998, the Company sold a portion of its share
ownership in PCL, and the Company's ownership percentage in PCL was reduced
from 52.6% to 49.9%. As such, subsequent to June
Page 23 of 36
<PAGE>
10, 1998, the Company commenced to account for its remaining investment in
PCL under the equity method of accounting, rather than the consolidation
method. For the six months ended June 30, 1998, the Company's proportionate
share of PCL losses for the six months ended June 30, 1998, are presented on
the statement of operations as equity loss in subsidiary. The three months
ended March 31, 1998, have been restated to reflect the deconsolidation and
the six months ended June 30, 1998, present the Company's share of PCL losses
for the six months on the equity method.
Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 1998, was $34,766
compared to $533,240 for the six months ended June 30, 1997. The decrease in
interest expense of $498,474 is primarily due to the interest recorded for
the fair value of warrants issued in connection with debt in 1997 and
interest related to a loan in the principal amount of $2,000,000 obtained by
the Company to repay the outstanding balance on a loan in the principal
amount of $2,500,000. Additionally, the Company obtained a loan in March 1998
in the principal amount of $250,000. Principal and interest at 10% are due on
the earlier of April 1999 or consummation of a private placement with defined
proceeds.
Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 1998, was $3,636,190 as
compared to $1,855,804 for the six months ended June 30, 1997, which includes
MSI's net loss for the 57 day period beginning January 1, 1997, and ending
February 26, 1997, of $290,823. Without the inclusion of MSI's net losses,
net losses for the six months ended June 30, 1998, would have been $3,636,190
as compared to $1,564,981 for the six months ended June 30, 1997. The
increase in net loss of $2,071,209 is primarily due to a increase in
operating loss of $35,222 and the equity in loss in subsidiary of $2,974,658,
offset by the sale of 67,500 shares of PCL common stock to a senior lender
and significant stockholder of PCL for $750,000 and a decrease in interest
expense of approximately $498,000.
Net loss per share of Common Stock for the six months ended June 30,
1998, was $5.33 compared to $78.87 for the six months ended June 30, 1997.
This decrease is primarily due to an increase in weighted average common
shares outstanding. Weighted average shares were 682,622 and 44,494 for the
six months ended June 30, 1998, and 1997, respectively.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company had approximately $805,886 in cash and cash equivalents
at June 30, 1998.
Total current assets were $862,938 at June 30, 1998, as compared to
$13,998,036 at December 31, 1997, which includes PCL's total current assets
at December 31, 1997, of $13,848,942. Without the inclusion of PCL's total
current assets, total current assets at June 30, 1998, would have been
$862,938 as compared to $149,094 at December 31, 1997. The increase of
$713,844 is primarily due to the sale of 67,500 shares of PCL common stock to
a senior lender and significant stockholder of PCL for $750,000 as well as a
new loan the Company obtained in March 1998 in the principal amount of
$250,000, offset by the use of these proceeds during the period to support
operating activities and the payment and reduction of current liabilities.

The Company did not have accounts receivable, net of allowances for
doubtful accounts, at June 30, 1998. At December 31, 1997, accounts
receivable, net of allowances for doubtful accounts were $11,000,608, which
includes PCL's accounts receivable, net of allowances for doubtful accounts
at December 31, 1997, of $10,948,508. Without the inclusion of PCL's net
accounts receivable, net accounts receivable at December 31, 1997, would have
been $52,100. The decrease is primarily due to a reduction in medical billing
services net accounts receivable as well as the write down of the remaining
net accounts receivable for ABC.
The Company did not have inventory at June 30, 1998. At December 31,
1997, inventory was $1,139,232, which includes PCL's inventory at December
31, 1997, of $1,138,932. Without the inclusion of PCL's inventory, inventory
at December 31, 1997, would have been $300.
Prepaid expenses and other current assets were $57,052 at June 30,
1998, as compared to $333,254 at December 31, 1997, which includes PCL's
prepaid expenses and other current assets at December 31, 1997, of $298,678.
Without the inclusion of PCL's prepaid expenses and other current assets,
prepaid expenses and other current assets at June 30, 1998, would have been
$57,052 as compared to $34,576 at December 31, 1997.
A note receivable of $100,000 was outstanding at June 30, 1998, and
December 31, 1997. On February 10, 1997, a $100,000 loan was issued to the
former sole stockholder and president of MSI, as part of the employment
agreement between the Company and the stockholder. The loan is secured by the
shares of Common Stock issued to the stockholder under the MSI Plan.
Equipment and leasehold improvements, net of accumulated
depreciation and amortization, was $6,369 at June 30, 1998, compared to
$2,758,476 at December 31, 1997, which includes PCL's equipment and leasehold
improvements, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization at December
31, 1997, of $2,739,484. Without the inclusion of PCL's net equipment and
leasehold improvements, net equipment and leasehold improvements at June 30,
1998, would have been $6,369 and $18,992 at December 31, 1997. The decrease
of $12,623 is primarily due to the closure of NTBM in April 1998.
The Company did not report any goodwill, net of accumulated
amortization, at June 30, 1998, as compared to $664,336 at December 31, 1997.
This decrease is due to the write down of remaining goodwill from the
purchase of NTBM Billing Services, Inc. of approximately $645,000.
Deposits were $4,371 at June 30, 1998, as compared to $436,287,
which includes PCL's deposits at December 31, 1997, of $417,132. Without the
inclusion of deposits, deposits at June 30, 1998, would have been $4,371 as
compared to $19,155 at December 31, 1997. The decrease of $14,784 is
primarily due to the closure of the Company's New York offices.
The Company did not report any reorganization value in excess of
other identifiable net assets at June 30, 1998. At December 31, 1997,
reorganization value in excess of other identifiable net assets was
$24,401,605, due to the inclusion of PCL at December 31, 1997.

Total assets at June 30, 1998, were $973,678 as compared to
$42,358,740 at December 31, 1997, which includes PCL's total assets at
December 31, 1997, of $41,407,163. Without the inclusion of PCL's total
assets, total assets at June 30, 1998, would have been $973,678 as compared
to $951,307 at December 31, 1997. The increase of $22,371 is primarily due to
the sale of 67,500 shares of PCL common stock to a senior lender and
significant stockholder of PCL for $750,000, as well as a new loan the
Company obtained in March 1998 in the principal amount of $250,000, offset by
the write down of remaining goodwill from the purchase of NTBM Billing
Services, Inc. of approximately $645,000 and the use of proceeds during the
period to support operating activities and the payment and reduction of
current liabilities.
Current liabilities at June 30, 1998, were $1,440,164 as compared to
$66,546,284 at December 31, 1997, which includes PCL's current liabilities at
December 31, 1997, of $65,619,254. Without the inclusion of PCL's current
liabilities, current liabilities at June 30, 1998, would have been $1,440,164
as compared to $1,168,182 at December 31, 1997. The increase of $271,982 is
primarily due to a new loan obtained by the Company in March 1998 in the
principal amount of $250,000, as well as an increase in accounts payable and
accrued expenses.
Total liabilities at June 30, 1998, were $1,440,164 as compared to
$56,372,981 at December 31, 1997, which includes PCL's total liabilities at
December 31, 1997, of $68,099,951, offset by the increase in negative
minority interest. Without the inclusion of PCL's total liabilities, total
liabilities at June 30, 1998, would have been $1,440,164 as compared to
$1,168,182 at December 31, 1997. The increase of $271,982 is primarily due to
a new loan obtained by the Company in March 1998 in the principal amount of
$250,000, as well as an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses.
YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE
The Company has no existing products and no material internal
systems which may be impacted by the Company's failure to effect Year 2000
("Y2K") compliance. The Company believes that no material expenditures will
be required to address Y2K compliance of the Company's internal computer
systems. In the event the Company acquires any assets or commences any
operations which would require it to address Y2K compliance, it will do so at
such time. At this time, the Company has not encountered any Y2K issues which
would have a material adverse effect on its business.
PLAN OF OPERATIONS AND REQUIREMENT FOR ADDITIONAL FUNDS
The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been
prepared on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern.
These conditions have raised substantial doubt about the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern. Through June 30, 1998, the Company has expended
cash in excess of cash generated from operations and has not achieved
sufficient revenues to support future operations. During 1997, the Company
generated net cash from financing activities of approximately $628,094, which
was principally utilized by the Company for general working capital purposes,
including cash used from operations of the
Page 26 of 36
<PAGE>
Company and its then principal subsidiary, NTBM Billing Services, Inc.
("NTBM"). The Company's remaining cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 1998,
and December 31, 1997, were approximately $806,000 and $1,500,000,
respectively. The Company obtained a new loan in March 1998 for $250,000,
which matures in 1999, and management anticipates obtaining additional equity
financing. In June, 1998, the Company sold 67,500 shares of PCL common stock
to a senior lender and significant stockholder of PCL for $750,000. In
addition, in connection with the sale of assets by PCL, the Company received
a payment of $3.25 million from certain holders of PCL's secured indebtedness
(Note 3b). However, no assurances can be given that these actions will result
in achieving profitability or positive cash flows. The ability of the Company
to obtain additional financing or to achieve an adequate level of revenues is
dependent upon future events, the outcome of which is presently not
determinable. While the Company will seek to raise additional funds through
debt or equity financing, no assurance may be given that the Company will be
able to do so or, if that such financing is available, that same will be on
terms acceptable to the Company.
EFFECTS OF INFLATION
The Company does not view the effects of inflation to have a
material effect upon its business.
HISTORICAL LOSSES AND ACCUMULATED DEFICIT OF UNITED; GOING CONCERN
QUALIFICATION OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
Through the third quarter ended September 30, 1996, the Company was
classified as a development-stage company for financial accounting purposes
by reason of the fact that it had not generated significant revenues from
operations prior to such date. As a result of the acquisition of Prompt
Medical Billing and its subsequent operations under NTBM Billing Services,
Inc., and the ownership, at that time, of MSI, the Company ceased to be
classified as a development-stage company as of December 31, 1996. Since
1990, the Company's principal business has been conducted through its
wholly-owned subsidiary, ABC. Prior to 1990, the Company, through other
subsidiary corporations, had engaged in other unrelated businesses which have
been discontinued. Since inception (February 1, 1982) through June 30, 1998,
the Company has incurred an accumulated deficit of approximately $56,926,000.
For the fiscal years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, and the six
months ended June 30, 1998, the Company incurred net losses of approximately
$31,626,000, $7,788,000, $2,089,000, and $3,636,000, respectively. The amount
of stockholders' deficit at June 30, 1998 was approximately $466,000. The
amount of its working capital at June 30, 1998, was approximately ($577,000).
There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to ultimately
identify or acquire any new business or the Company will have adequate
financial resources with which to consummate potential transactions that may
become available to the Company. In addition, the report of the Company's
independent auditors on the consolidated financial statements of the Company
for the year ended December 31, 1997, in the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1997, contains an explanatory
paragraph that there are certain conditions that raise substantial doubt
about the ability to continue as a going concern.

OTHER RISKS
PLEDGE OF PRINCIPAL ASSETS TO SECURE EXISTING LOANS FROM THE STATE
OF RHODE ISLAND
In connection with a series of loans obtained during 1993 and 1994
by the Company from the State of Rhode Island Economic Development Small
Business Loan Fund Corporation ("SBLFC") in the principal aggregate amount of
$791,000, the Company executed two patent security agreements granting the
SBLFC a security interest in ABC's patents to secure $541,000 of the $791,000
of SBLFC loans (the principal balance of which, as of June 30, 1998, was
approximately $107,000). All of the SBLFC loans, including those which are
subject to the patent security interest, are further secured by a security
interest in the Company's accounts receivable, inventory and equipment. Each
of these loans were for a term of five years from its respective loan date,
bear interest at the rate of 5.4% and, as to each loan, after the first year
is amortized monthly as to principal and interest. In March 1998, the terms
of these loans were modified to 9.5% interest with principal due on demand.
The aggregate amount of monthly interest payments is approximately $1,000 per
month. In the event that the Company, for whatever reason, is unable to
continue to meet its loan repayment obligations, the assets which are pledged
will be subject to the rights of the SBLFC as a secured party. Further, until
the SBLFC loans are repaid, it is unlikely that the Company or ABC will be
able to obtain additional secured financing utilizing this collateral.
DEPENDENCE UPON KEY PERSONNEL
The Company is dependent upon the executive abilities of its
Chairman, J. Marvin Feigenbaum, to implement its present and anticipated
future plans and programs. Mr. Feigenbaum has no background or training as a
scientist, nor is Mr. Feigenbaum a physician. The Company has entered into an
employment agreement with Mr. Feigenbaum for a term ending April 30, 2002.
The loss of Mr. Feigenbaum's services may have a materially adverse effect on
the business or prospects of the Company.
CLASSIFIED BOARD OF DIRECTORS
At the Annual Meeting of Stockholders held in June, 1997, Messrs.
Feigenbaum and Fagenson were elected Class 1 Directors to serve until the
2000 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. At the Annual Meeting of Stockholders
held on August 27, 1996, Mr. Sterling was elected Class 2 Director until the
1999 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, which meeting has not been held to date.
Due to the financial position of the Company, the Company has been unable to
attract and retain any directors other than Messrs. Feigenbaum, Sterling and
Fagenson.
CONVERSION OF SERIES A CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK, INCREASE OF
AUTHORIZED CAPITAL, DELISTING FROM THE NASDAQ SMALLCAP MARKET AND REVERSE
STOCK SPLIT
As of December 19, 1997, the Company had 47,783,554 pre-reverse
split shares of its Common Stock issued and outstanding (including 45,099,336
pre-reverse split shares of Common Stock previously issued upon conversion of
11,174 shares of Preferred Stock). Consequently, the Company did not have a
sufficient number of unreserved shares of Common
Page 28 of 36
<PAGE>
Stock to accommodate any additional conversions of the Preferred Stock and
suspended the acceptance of future conversions.
By letter dated April 17, 1998, from The Nasdaq Stock Market, the
Company was advised that Nasdaq had commenced proceedings to delist the
Company's Common Stock from inclusion in the Nasdaq SmallCap Market ("NSCM")
by reason of the inability of the Company to file its Annual Report on Form
10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1997. The inability of the Company to
file its Annual Report on Form 10-KSB was occasioned because the audit of the
Company's financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1997 was
delayed by reason of a pending change in the Company's independent auditors.
The Company requested a hearing with respect to the delisting proceedings. On
June 1, 1998, the Company was notified by The Nasdaq Stock Market that the
Company's Common Stock would be delisted from the NSCM, effective as of the
close of business on June 1, 1998. The notification resulted from a
determination by a Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel, following a hearing
held on May 14, 1998, to reject the Company's request for continued inclusion
on the NSCM. The Company's Common Stock was quoted on the NSCM through May
15, 1998. The Company believes that the delisting of the Common Stock has had
a depressive effect upon the market price of the Common Stock and adversely
affected the liquidity of the Common Stock because, subsequent to May 15,
1998, the Common Stock has been quoted in the "pink sheets" maintained by
National Quotation Bureau, Inc., which is not an established trading market.
The Company's Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible
into such number of shares of common stock as shall equal $1,000 divided by a
conversion rate equal to the lesser of (i) 75% of the average closing price
of the common stock for the 5 days immediately preceding the date of the
holder's notice of conversion or (ii) $1,225.00, subject to certain
adjustments. Since the conversion price of the preferred stock is related to
the Nasdaq bid price for the common stock, a conversion price is presently
indeterminable; consequently, the Company has suspended the acceptance of
future conversions.
Pursuant to prior stockholder authorization, the Company filed a
Certificate of Amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation effective
December 23, 1998, (i) effecting a 1-for-70 reverse stock split of its issued
and outstanding Common Stock, resulting in each 70 issued and outstanding
shares of the Common Stock being changed into one share, and (ii) changing
the name of the Company to United Diagnostic, Inc.
NO DIVIDENDS AND NONE ANTICIPATED
United has never declared nor paid a dividend on any shares of its
capital stock and the Board of Directors intends to continue this policy for
the foreseeable future.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company had heretofore filed, and withdrew, a registration
statement relating to the shares of its Common Stock to be issued upon
conversion of the Company's 14,000 shares of
Page 29 of 36
<PAGE>
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock ("Preferred Stock"). At the time of such
filing, the Company believed that it had not received valid written demand by
a majority of the holders of the Preferred Stock to require it to proceed
with such registration statement. The Company further believes that, at the
time such registration statement was withdrawn, it did not receive a written
demand by the holders of a majority of Preferred Stock to file a registration
statement. Subsequently, the Company did file a Registration Statement
relating to the shares of its Common Stock to be issued upon conversion of
the Company's 14,000 shares of Preferred Stock with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on July 21, 1997.
On February 4, 1998, a complaint was filed against the Company and
others in an action in the United States District Court for the Southern
District of New York captioned Gorra Holding and Barras Investment v. Nu-Tech
Bio-Med, Inc., J. Marvin Feigenbaum and Robert B. Fagenson (Docket No. 98
Civ. 764 (JMP)). The complaint alleged that the Company and the other
defendants violated Section 10(b) and Section 20 of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The
complaint also alleged common law fraud, conversion and breach of contract.
These claims against the Company were purportedly based on allegations that
the Company participated in a scheme to deprive its Series A Convertible
Preferred Shareholders of their conversion and registration rights. The
complaint sought compensatory damages of at least $1.25 million and punitive
damages of at least $3 million or, in the alternative, an order for the
Company to allow the plaintiffs to exercise certain conversion and
registration rights, together with reasonable costs and attorneys' fees. On
March 3, 1999, following dismissal of all claims other than breach of
contract, plaintiffs stipulated to a dismissal of the action without
prejudice.
In a Current Report on Form 8-K, dated May 29, 1997, the Company
reported a complaint against the Company captioned Mordechai Gurary v. Isaac
Winehouse, Isaac Winehouse d/b/a Wall & Broad Equities and Nu-Tech Bio-Med,
Inc. (Docket No. 97 Civ. 3803 (LBS)) filed on May 23, 1997 in the United
States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The complaint
alleged that the Company and the other defendants violated Section 10(b) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") and Section 349 of
the General Business Law of the State of New York (the "GBL"). The claims
against the Company under the Exchange Act and the GBL were purportedly based
on allegations that the Company knew of and failed to disclose, among other
things, unlawful trading activity in the Company's securities by the other
defendants named in the action. The complaint sought compensatory damages in
an unstated amount, sought to enjoin the Company from registering certain
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock until the determination of the action,
and sought reasonable attorneys' and expert fees as well as treble and
punitive damages. On February 9, 1998, the court dismissed with prejudice the
federal claims of violations of Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act for failure
to state a claim and dismissed the state claims of violations of Section 349
of the GBL. The dismissal of this action was appealed by the plaintiff. On
August 24, 1999, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit
issued its opinion affirming the district court's granting of summary
judgment dismissing the complaint.
On July 6, 1999, an action was commenced in the Superior Court of
the State of Delaware in and for New Castle County entitled J & B Associates
Profit Sharing Plan & Trust v. United Diagnostic, Inc., although it was not
served upon the defendant until July 20, 1999.
Page 30 of 36
<PAGE>
The plaintiff, which purports to be an Illinois corporation, alleges that it
purchased 300 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock from the Company
for $300,000 pursuant to a Preferred Stock Securities Purchase Agreement
dated November 19, 1996 (the "Agreement"). While the plaintiff converted a
portion of the Preferred Stock it held into Common Stock, it alleges that it
was unable to convert additional shares of Preferred Stock because the
Company's Common Stock was delisted from the Nasdaq SmallCap Market ("NSCM").
The complaint alleges that in the Agreement, the Company warranted that the
Common Stock would remain listed on the NSCM and, therefore, that it breached
the terms of the Agreement. The complaint alleges claims for breach of
contract and unjust enrichment against the Company, and seeks $200,000 in
compensatory damages plus attorneys' fees and costs. The Company has moved to
dismiss the complaint.
On July 8, 1998 an arbitration was commenced before the AAA in
Miami, Florida entitled Judith Prussin and Health Systems Development
Corporation against NTBM Billing Services, Inc and Nu-Tech Bio Med, Inc.
(Case No. 32 160 00219 98). The case concerned employment and consulting
agreements between the Company and claimants, which agreements were executed
in conjunction with the purchase by the Company of the claimants' business,
Prompt Medical Billing, Inc. ("PMBI"), in October of 1996. Specifically in
dispute were the amounts owed to claimants in light of the cessation of
PMBI's business operations. Claimants sought damages in the amount of
$44,187.28 along with interest, costs and attorneys fees associated with the
arbitration. The matter was settled by confidential agreement of the parties,
dated on or about May 28, 1999 and formally dismissed on June 17, 1999. The
settlement provided, among other items, that the Company pay $35,000 to
claimants and the claimants assign the right to collect an outstanding
account payable to PMBI in the amount of $70,000. The first $10,000 collected
from the outstanding account is to be paid to the Company, with any
additional amounts collected to be split 50/50 amongst claimants and the
Company. The right to collect the $70,000 reverts to the Company if at least
$10,000 has not been collected by November 1, 1999 and a payment plan for the
remainder is not in place.
On July 22, 1998 an arbitration was commenced before the AAA in New
York, New York entitled Nu-Tech Bio Med, Inc. and NTBM Billing Services, Inc
v. Judith Prussin, Jeffrey Prussin and Prompt Medical Billing, Inc. (Case No.
13 180 00703 98). The case arose from the purchase by the Company of the
respondents' business, PMBI, in October of 1996. Subsequent to the purchase,
the business lost its principal customer and ceased operations. In the
arbitration, the Company sought from the former owners of PMBI, inter alia, a
judgment which constituted the return of the purchase price of PMBI (i.e.,
the return of approximately $100,000 in cash and the right to certain stock
held in escrow pursuant to the Purchase Agreement). In an Award originally
dated April 9, 1999 (and affirmed by the arbitrator on May 27, 1999), the
arbitrator denied the relief sought by the Company and refused to grant the
relief sought by respondents. On April 19, 1999, the Company initiated a
Special Proceeding in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of
New York captioned In re the Arbitration of Certain Controversies between
Nu-Tech Bio Med, Inc. and NTBM Billing Services, Inc v. Judith Prussin,
Jeffrey Prussin and Prompt Medical Billing, Inc. (Index No. 108158/99) to
affirm the Award. The Special Proceeding is currently at the initial
pleadings stage.
