PART I
Item 1. Business
Oak Tree Medical Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"),
was incorporated in Delaware on May 27, 1986, as Oak Tree Construction
Computers,Inc. From 1986 through 1990,the Company was engaged in the sale of
computer systems for the construction industry. For a number of years
thereafter, the Company was inactive. The Company changed its name to Oak Tree
Medical Systems, Inc. in August 1994. Since January 1995, the Company has been
engaged in the business of operating and managing physical therapy care centers
and related medical practices. As of May 31, 2000, the Company closed the one
remaining medical facility in New York City. Prior to April 1997, the Company
also had operations in Florida. Unless otherwise indicated by the text,
reference herein to the term "Company" will be deemed to refer to Oak Tree
Medical Systems, Inc. and all its subsidiaries.
Medical Business
The primary focus of the Company to date has been the provision of
physical therapy and related rehabilitative services. Physical therapy aids in
the restoration of patients who have been disabled by injury or disease or are
recovering from surgery. The Company's physical therapy care centers offer
preventive, rehabilitative and pre- and post-operative care for neuromuscular
and musculoskeletal injury. These may include a variety of orthopedic-related
disorders, sports-related injuries, neurologically related injuries, motor
vehicle injuries and work-related injuries.
Patients are primarily referred to the Company's rehabilitation
facilities by physicians. Licensed physical therapists evaluate each patient and
develop a program of rehabilitation to achieve the patient's rehabilitation
goals. Treatments may include traction, ultrasound, electrical stimulation,
therapeutic exercise, heat treatment and hydrotherapy. Patients are usually
treated for one hour per day, three days per week over a period of two to five
weeks. Where appropriate, patients are provided post treatment home maintenance
and exercise programs.
The Company's clinics offer specific programs for injured workers
compensation patients. Each clinic first evaluates the worker's physical
condition and capacity to perform the requirements of his or her employment.
This evaluation may be used by insurers to estimate the extent of rehabilitation
treatment or as a basis for settlement of disability claims. Thereafter, the
clinic will prescribe and implement a course of "work conditioning" (hardening),
which includes graduated exercise and work stimulation therapies.
The Company believes that purchasers and providers of health care
services such as employers, insurance companies and health maintenance
organizations who are seeking to save on traditional health care services view
physical therapy and rehabilitation services as cost-effective in that they may
prevent short-term disabilities from becoming chronic conditions, and may
accelerate recovery from surgery and neuromuscular and musculoskeletal injuries.
In addition, changes in both public and private health insurance reimbursement
have encouraged early hospital discharge, another trend which promotes the need
for outpatient physical therapy services. Also, the aging of the U.S. population
has increased demand for rehabilitation programs to treat chronic conditions of
the elderly.
2
<PAGE>
The Company's strategy has been to take advantage of these trends by
acquiring and integrating a network of health care practices, particularly in
the greater New York metropolitan area. The Company believes that attractive
acquisition opportunities exist in its industry because of health care's current
cost containment economics, laws that bar health care practitioners from
referring to entities in which they have an ownership interest and the general
sense of insecurity among health care practitioners resulting from the great
amount of change being experienced by the profession. New reimbursement
schedules and conventions have put particular pressure on the traditional
private practice of medicine and allied health care services. Government health
programs, private insurers and health maintenance type organizations have in
many cases reduced payments to health care professionals and in some cases have
substituted capitation or fixed reimbursement for the traditional "fee for
service" payments.
In this environment, the importance of conducting health care practices
in an efficient and cost-effective manner has increased. By centralizing
non-medical activities, such as administration, accounting, billing, marketing,
procurement and human resources, health care providers can reduce unit costs,
enhance efficiencies and promote profitability. Centralized management of
medical practices also facilitates identification, negotiation and consummation
of advantageous contractual relationships with health maintenance organizations,
preferred provider organizations, hospitals, nursing homes, school systems and
similar institutions. Referrals and contract work from such organizations and
institutions may be essential to the long-term viability of providers of
outpatient rehabilitative services.
New York City Facilities
In October 1996, the Company acquired the management and assets of
three New York City based physical therapy care centers for an aggregate
purchase price of $900,000 (in cash and assumed debt) and 10,000 shares of
Common Stock (with a guaranteed value of not less than $100,000 and issuable in
October 1998). Included in the acquisition was a contract for the provision of
physical therapy services to a county hospital in Westchester, New York. In
connection with the acquisition, the Company entered into a three-year
employment agreement with the seller of the clinics, a licensed physical
therapist, who served as the director of operations of the New York City clinics
and Chief Operating Officer of the Company until February 1998. The Company also
assumed three leases for the physical therapy care centers. In July 1998, the
Company sold substantially all of the equipment and operations of two of the
three facilities it acquired in 1996 to a subsidiary of SMR Management Corp.,
Nesconset Sports, Inc. ("Nesconset Sports"), because the cash flows from these
facilities were insufficient to support their operations. The aggregate sales
price was $375,000 in cash, of which $365,000 was used to repay certain of the
Company's lease obligations. The purchaser assumed the outstanding leases.
In July 1997, the Company acquired the management and assets of an
additional center in New York City for a purchase price of $400,000. The
purchase price was reduced by $100,000 since the center did not attain a certain
level of billings as of the end of July 1998. In connection with the
acquisition, the Company entered into a lease for the acquired center through
August 2003, and the seller entered into a four-year noncompetition agreement.
In addition, the seller entered into a six-month consulting agreement with the
Company continuing thereafter on a month-to-month basis, at $150,000 per annum.
The Company also entered into a six-month consulting agreement with the physical
therapy care center administrator, a relative of the seller, continuing
thereafter on
3
<PAGE>
a month-to-month basis, at $50,000 per annum. On November 2, 1998, the Company
sold all the assets (excluding accounts receivable) of this facility for
$250,000 in cash plus the assumption of outstanding equipment lease obligations
of $194,000. Proceeds of $200,000 were used to repay a note payable to the
previous owner of the facility. On December 22, 1998, the Company sold the
accounts receivable relating to the facility for 50% value of subsequent cash
receipts.
As of May 31, 2000, the Company closed the one remaining facility which
was acquired in October 1996 because the primary medical group referring
patients to the therapy center ceased operations. The cash flows from this
facility was thus insufficient to support its operations.
In compliance with the laws of the State of New York, all treatment
related activities at the Company's New York City clinics were conducted by Oak
Tree Medical Practice, P.C. ("Oak Tree P.C."), an independently owned
professional corporation. The Company had agreements with Oak Tree P.C. pursuant
to which the Company provided to Oak Tree P.C. all administrative and management
services and leased to Oak Tree P.C. facilities and equipment. Because of the
significant influence and control exercised by the Company over Oak Tree P.C.
(other than with respect to patient treatment), the financial results of Oak
Tree P.C. are consolidated with those of the Company.
Acquisition and Rescission
In December 1996, the Company acquired certain assets of four physical
therapy care centers and a management company located in Long Island, New York
for an aggregate purchase price of $650,000 and 132,190 shares of Common Stock
of the Company, plus other consideration.
Effective February 28, 1997, the Company rescinded the acquisition and
the former sellers returned all stock and notes issued to them in the original
transaction. In addition, the former sellers agreed to pay the Company $448,935,
representing the cash purchase price of the original transaction, the net amount
expended by the Company on the facilities for the period from December 1996 to
February 1997, and the purchase price of 12,000 shares of Common Stock acquired
by the former sellers for $15,000. Of this amount, $50,000 was paid at the
closing, $25,000 was paid in May 1997 and the balance was to be paid over an
18-month period. In December 1997, the Company agreed to the early
extinguishment of the remaining amount owed by the former sellers and received
$325,000 in full settlement. The Company remained obligated to issue 14,286
shares of Common Stock to the landlord of one of the acquired facilities in
satisfaction of certain pre-existing obligations. Although the original
acquisition of the Long Island clinics was consistent with the Company's
strategy of focusing its operations in the New York area, the cash flows from
these facilities to the Company were insufficient to support the operations of
these facilities by the Company.
Sales of Florida Physical Therapy Care Centers
Following the Company's October 1996 acquisition of three New York City
based
4
<PAGE>
physical therapy care centers and the hospital service contract, the Company
determined to shift its geographic focus from North Florida to the New York City
area. Consistent with this approach, in February 1997 the Company sold
substantially all of the assets and operations of its clinics in Jacksonville
and Orange Park, Florida. The Jacksonville assets were held by the Company's
Acorn CORF I, Inc. subsidiary and the Orange Park assets were held by the
Company's Riverside CORF, Inc. subsidiary. In addition, the Company sold all the
shares of Oak Tree Receivables, Inc. ("OT Receivables"), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company, which helped finance the operations of the two
facilities by buying certain of their receivables and financing the purchase
through a receivables funding facility which used the receivables as collateral.
The aggregate sales price was $200,000, consisting of $100,000 in cash paid at
closing and a note in the amount of $100,000 payable in two installments in
April and May 1997. Neither installment has been paid and, as collection is not
probable, the Company has established a reserve in the amount of the note. In
connection with the sale of the North Florida centers, the purchaser assumed
$86,150 of accounts payable and the balance of the obligation of the receivables
funding facility in the amount of $1,812,500. In exchange for the consent of the
lender of the patient care receivables funding facility, the Company pledged as
collateral to the lender additional accounts receivable in the amount of
$700,000. The Company also terminated the employment agreement with the
facilities' medical director, was given back 400,000 shares of Common Stock
which had been issued in connection with the Company's acquisition of the
facilities in 1995 and was relieved from its obligation to issue an additional
145,000 shares of Common Stock.
Continuing the divestiture of its Florida operations, the Company
disposed of its remaining North Florida facility, located in St. Augustine,
Florida, in April 1997. The sales price was $25,000 in cash, with $15,000 paid
at closing and $10,000 paid in April and May 1997.
Pending Acquisition
In September 1997, the Company entered into a letter of intent,
subsequently amended in December 1997, for the acquisition of the management and
certain assets of medical practices and MRI facilities located in the greater
New York metropolitan area. In July 1999, the Company entered into definitive
written agreements to complete the acquisition which as of May 31, 2000,
included approximately 41 medical practices and MRI facilities located in
5
<PAGE>
the greater New York metropolitan area. Collectively, the centers had revenues
of approximately $66 million and estimated earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization of approximately $27 million in calendar year 1998
(subject to audit). The Company intends to finance the pending acquisition
through issuance of debt and equity securities of the Company, which, if
consummated, will result in a substantial change to the Company's current debt
and equity structure. Although the agreements by their terms may be currently
terminated by either the Company or the sellers upon written notice, no such
notice has been delivered by any of the parties and they are continuing to
attempt to satisfy their various conditions to closing. There can be no
assurance, however, that the Company will successfully meet its obligations of
raising capital to complete the acquisitions or that all the other conditions to
the closing of the transaction will be met.
Government Regulation
The health care industry is subject to extensive and increasing
federal, state and local regulation. The Company is also subject to laws and
regulations relating to business corporations generally. The Company believes
its operations are in material compliance with applicable law. Nevertheless,
because of the complexity of the statutes and regulations in the health care
area, many of which have not been subject to judicial or regulatory
interpretation, there can be no assurance that aspects of the Company's
operations will not be subject to legal or administrative challenge. Also, the
health care regulatory environment has been in the past, and is likely to be in
the future, subject to substantial and ongoing change. Accordingly, there can be
no assurance that future changes in the law will not restrict or otherwise
adversely affect the Company's business.
The laws of a number of states, including New York where the Company's
operations are located, prohibit a corporation from engaging in the provision of
health care, including physical therapy, or from exercising direct control over
professionals engaged in the health care field. The Company believes that its
ownership of the physical therapy care center and the provision of equipment,
location, managerial, administrative and non-medical support services to the
clinics does not constitute the corporate practice of physical therapy, since
licensed physical therapists exercise complete control over the provision of all
physical therapy services. Nevertheless, there can be no assurance that the
statutes prohibiting the corporate practice of physical therapy services will
not be construed or modified in the future to prohibit the operations of the
Company as they are presently being conducted.
There also exist federal and state statutes that impose civil sanctions
and substantial criminal penalties on health care providers that fraudulently or
wrongfully bill governmental and other third-party payors for health care
services. The federal statute prohibiting false billing permits private persons
to bring a civil action in the name of the United States to remedy violations of
the statute. The Company believes that it is in compliance with these fraudulent
6
<PAGE>
billing statutes. However, billing for health care services is technical and
complex, and there can be no assurance that the Company's billing practices will
not be challenged or scrutinized by government authorities.
Competition
The health care industry generally and the physical therapy business in
particular are highly competitive. In addition to corporate-owned,
physician-owned and other private physical therapy clinics, the Company competes
with the physical therapy departments of hospitals and area chiropractic
practices. The competitive factors in the physical therapy business are quality
of care, cost, treatment outcomes, convenience of location and ability to meet
the needs of referral and payor sources. Certain of the Company's competitors
may have substantially greater financial, marketing, developmental and other
resources than the Company. Both larger and smaller competitors may have
individual facilities with greater treatment resources than the facility
operated by the Company. Also, the industry is subject to continuous changes
regarding the provision of services and the selection of care providers, and
certain competitors may be more successful than the Company in adapting to these
changes in a timely and effective manner.
Investment in Gold Ore
In May 1993, the Company acquired 50,000 tons of gold ore from Nevada
Minerals Corporation in exchange for the issuance of 1,350,000 shares of Common
Stock. The ore was appraised as having a $5,000,000 value. The Company
subsequently formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, Aurum Mining Corporation
("Aurum"), with the gold ore as its only asset. In June 1995, the Company
exchanged the stock of Aurum for 6,000,000 shares of common stock of Accord
Futronics Corp. ("Accord"), an unaffiliated privately-held company with other
mining related assets. The Company had the right to receive a royalty of 12.5%
of the net mining income from processing of the gold ore transferred to Accord.
In November 1997, the Company returned the 6,000,000 shares of common
stock of Accord in exchange for 100% of the common stock of Aurum. At the time
of the return of the Accord stock, Accord had neither commenced nor anticipated
commencing mining operations, and the Company desired to take action to realize
the value of the gold ore. Due to (i) the absence of current financial and other
information for Accord, as to both the subsidiary and the underlying gold ore,
(ii) the Company's lack of resources to commence mining, and (iii) the Company's
inability to sell the ore, the Company wrote down its investment in the ore by
$3,000,000, based on its experience marketing the ore, as of May 31, 1998. The
Company intends to continue its attempt to sell the gold ore, although there can
be no assurance that it will be successful in doing so.
Employees
As of May 31, 2000, the Company had 2 full-time employees and no
part-time employees.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
A. In December 1996, the Company granted ten year options to acquire 375,000
shares of Common Stock to Burton Dubbin, the son of Mr. Henry Dubbin, in
exchange for consulting services. These options had an exercise price of $1.6875
per share and were to vest upon the earlier to occur of (i) the Company's
achievement of certain financial benchmarks, (ii) the five year anniversary of
the issuance of the options and Mr. Burton's being an employee with the Company
or (iii) a change of control (as defined). Mr. Burton Dubbin became an employee
of the Company in April 1997. In August 1997, Mr. Burton Dubbin terminated his
employment with the Company and entered into a two-year consulting agreement at
a fee of $150,000 per annum, plus 125,000 shares of Common Stock, of which
25,000 shares were immediately issuable and 5,000 shares are issuable monthly
(in an aggregate amount not to exceed 100,000 shares) for the duration of Mr.
Burton Dubbin's service with the Company. In addition, the Company amended the
terms of the options, making such options immediately exercisable and extending
the expiration date until 2007. In June 1998, the Company extended Mr. Burton
Dubbin's consulting agreement until August 31, 2002. In addition, the Company
granted Mr. Burton Dubbin options to purchase 500,000 shares of Common Stock at
an exercise price of $2.17 per share and were exercisable six months from date
of grant. As of May 31, 2000, these options have not been exercised. The Company
recorded consulting expenses of approximately $925,000 and $122,000 in years
1999 and 2000, respectively, relating to these options. During the fiscal year
ended May 31, 1999, Mr. Burton Dubbin exercised options to acquire 100,000
shares of Common Stock at $1.69 per share. During the fiscal year ended May 31,
2000, the Company granted Mr. Burton Dubbin options to purchase 300,000 shares
of Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.50 per share. Mr. Burton Dubbin
exercised options to acquire 275,000 shares of Common Stock at $1.69 per share
and 20,000 shares of Common Stock at $1.50 per share.
8

Item 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
General
The Company is engaged in the business of operating and managing
physical therapy care centers. As of May 31, 2000, the Company closed the one
remaining facility which was acquired in October 1996 because the cash flows
from this facility was insufficient to support its operations.
In July 1998, the Company sold substantially all of the assets and
operations of its facilities located in Flushing and Upper Manhattan, New York,
due to insufficient cash flows from such facilities.
In November and December 1998, the Company sold all the assets of its
Lower Manhattan, New York physical therapy facility due to insufficient cash
flows from such facility.
In September 1997, the Company entered into a letter of intent,
subsequently amended in December 1997, for the acquisition of the management and
certain assets of medical practices and MRI facilities located in the greater
New York metropolitan area. In July 1999, the Company entered into definitive
written agreements to complete the acquisition which as of May 31, 2000,
included approximately 41 medical practices and MRI facilities located in the
greater New York metropolitan area. Although the agreements by their terms may
be currently terminated by either the Company or the sellers upon written
notice, no such notice has been delivered by any of the parties and they are
continuing to attempt to satisfy their various conditions to closing. There can
be no assurance, however, that the Company will successfully meet its
obligations of raising capital to complete the acquisitions or that all the
other conditions to the closing of the transaction will be met.

Results of Operations
2000 Fiscal Year Compared to 1999 Fiscal Year
Patient revenues decreased by 72.51% from $750,690 to $206,365 in the
fiscal year ended May 31, 2000 ("Fiscal 2000") compared with the fiscal year
ended May 31, 1999 ("Fiscal 1999"). The decrease in revenues was primarily
attributable to the Company's sale of three physical care centers in New York
City during Fiscal 1999 and sluggish revenues in the last two quarters of Fiscal
2000. The primary medical group referring patients to the therapy center ceased
operations as of January 2000.
Total expenses decreased by 19.37% to $3,343,468 for Fiscal 2000 from
$4,146,787 for Fiscal 1999, primarily attributable to the Company's sale of
three physical care centers in New York City during Fiscal 1999 and lower
consulting expenses in Fiscal 2000 offset by deferred acquisition costs of
$667,950 due to the length of negotiations related to the pending acquisition.
Costs of patient services, selling, and administrative expenses (excluding
acquisition costs), consulting, depreciation and amortization and interest
expense (recurring operating expenses) decreased by 34.55% from $4,087,782 to
$2,675,518. Costs of patient services, as a percentage of patient revenues,
decreased from 74.7% in Fiscal 1999 to 72.4% in Fiscal 2000 primarily because of
gradual staffing adjustments relating to the sale of the three New York City
physical care centers. Selling, general and administrative expenses (excluding
acquisition costs) decreased 13.51% from $1,721,583 in Fiscal 1999 to $1,488,985
in Fiscal 2000, primarily due to the sale of the three physical care centers in
New York City and a significant reduction in legal expenses offset by a Black
Scholes adjustment for stock options issued of $531,000. Consulting expenses
decreased by 41.89% from $1,703,455 in Fiscal 1999 to $989,934 in Fiscal 2000
due to a lower Black Scholes stock option adjustment in Fiscal 2000. The
adjustment in Fiscal 2000 was $746,000 compared to $1,300,000 in Fiscal 1999.
During Fiscal 1999, the Company recognized a loss of $59,005 in connection with
the sale of three physical care centers in New York City. Total expenses as a
percentage of revenues increased to 1620% for Fiscal 2000 from 552.4% for Fiscal
1999 as a result of these factors.
Income taxes for Fiscal 2000 and 1999 are not representative of an
effective tax rate. For Fiscal 2000 and 1999, deferred income tax benefits have
been reduced by increases in the allowance for the realization of deferred
income tax assets of $838,000 and $1,044,670, respectively, because, as of both
May 31, 2000 and 1999, it was more likely than not that the deferred tax assets
would not be realized. The deferred tax assets result primarily from impairment
of the gold ore and net operating loss carryforwards and the Company may not
generate sufficient future taxable income for their utilization. As of May 31,
2000 and 1999, net operating loss carryforwards were $6,849,000 and $5,077,000,
respectively, increased due to the increases in taxable losses for each year.
The above factors contributed to a net loss of $3,137,103 ($.52 per
share) for Fiscal 2000 compared with a net loss of $3,396,097 ($.65 per share)
for Fiscal 1999.

1999 Fiscal Year Compared to 1998 Fiscal Year
Patient revenues decreased by 66.8% from $2,258,186 to $750,690 in the
fiscal year ended May 31, 1999 ("Fiscal 1999") compared with the fiscal year
ended May 31, 1998 ("Fiscal 1998"). The decrease in revenues was primarily
attributable to the Company's sale of three physical care centers in New York
City.
Total expenses decreased by 43.3% to $4,146,787 for Fiscal 1999 from
$7,315,751 for Fiscal 1998, primarily attributable to the Company's sale of
three physical care centers in New York City resulting in $1,200,000 lower
expenses offset by $1,300,000 million in expenses attributable to the grant of
stock options during the Fiscal 1999 and the $3,000,000 write-down of the gold
ore that was taken in Fiscal 1998. Costs of patient services, selling, and
administrative expenses, consulting, depreciation and amortization and interest
expense (recurring operating expenses) decreased by 9.6% from $4,524,335 to
4,087,782. Costs of patient services, as a percentage of patient revenues,
increased from 52.1% in Fiscal 1998 to 74.7% in Fiscal 1999 primarily because of
gradual staffing adjustments relating to the sale of the three New York City
physical care centers. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased
30.8% from $2,485,934 in Fiscal 1998 to $1,719,464 in Fiscal 1999, primarily due
to the sale of the three physical care centers in New York City and a
significant reduction in legal expenses due to large non recurring settlements
made in Fiscal 1998. Consulting expenses increased by 308.2% from $417,329 in
Fiscal 1998 to $1,703,455 in Fiscal 1999 due to recognition of expenses
attributable to stock options granted during Fiscal 1999. Interest expense
decreased 78.7% from $170,700 in Fiscal 1998 to $36,369 in Fiscal 1999 due to
the Company's decision in December 1998 to terminate its agreement with a
finance company to factor patient care receivables. During Fiscal 1998, the
Company recognized a gain in connection with the sale of the North Florida
facilities and the rescission of the Long Island, New York facilities, of
$208,584, while recognizing a loss of $59,005 in connection with the sale of
three physical care centers in New York City during Fiscal 1999. Total expenses
as a percentage of revenues increased to 552.4% for Fiscal 1999 from 324.0% for
Fiscal 1998 as a result of these factors.
Income taxes for Fiscal 1999 and 1998 are not representative of an
effective tax rate. For Fiscal 1999 and 1998, deferred income tax benefits have
been reduced by increases in the allowance for the realization of deferred
income tax assets of $1,044,760 and $2,000,000, respectively, because, as of
both May 31, 1999 and 1998, it was more likely than not that the deferred tax
assets would not be realized. The deferred tax assets result primarily from
impairment of the gold ore and net operating loss carryforwards and the Company
may not generate sufficient future taxable income for their utilization. As of
May 31, 1999 and 1998, net operating loss carryforwards of $5,077,000 and
$3,500,000, respectively, increased due to the increases in taxable losses for
each year.
The above factors contributed to a net loss of $3,396,097 ($.65 per
share) for Fiscal 1999 compared with a net loss of $5,057,565 ($1.49 per share)
for Fiscal 1998.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
In the past, the Company has funded its capital requirements from
operating cash flow, loans against its accounts receivable, sales of equity
securities and the issuance of equity securities in exchange for assets acquired
and services rendered. The Company continues to explore opportunities to raise
private equity capital and, in conjunction therewith, to provide credit support
for the Company's operations and pending acquisitions. Although the Company has
in the past been and continues to be in discussions with potential investors,
there can be no assurance that its efforts to raise any substantial amount of
private capital will be successful. Any substantial private equity investment in
the Company will result in voting dilution of the Company's existing
stockholders and could also result in economic dilution. If the Company is
unable to obtain new capital, the Company will be unable to carry out its
strategy of growth through acquisitions and the long-term ability of the Company
to continue its operations may be in doubt.
In February 2000, the Company issued 50,000 shares of Common Stock to a
private investor at a price of $1.00 per share. In May 2000, the Company issued
200,000 shares of Common Stock to a group of private investors at a net price of
$1.00 per share. Proceeds of the sale of these shares have been used for working
capital.
12
<PAGE>
During Fiscal 2000, the Company issued 112,500 shares of Common Stock
for various services rendered valued at $224,313. In addition, 652,500 stock
options were exercised during Fiscal 2000 for $1,117,169. These proceeds have
been used for working capital.
In July 1998, the Company issued 400,000 shares of Common Stock in a
private placement to "accredited investors" at an offering price of $2.30 per
share, with net proceeds to the Company of $1.09 per share. The Company
subsequently amended the agreement by increasing the Common Stock issued to
600,000 shares from 400,000 shares. The Company incurred expenses of $725,619
and received net proceeds of $654,380.
In May 1993, the Company acquired 50,000 tons of gold ore from Nevada
Minerals Corporation in exchange for the issuance of 1,350,000 shares of Common
Stock. (See Item 1. Business. Investment in Gold Ore.) The ore was appraised as
having a value of $5,000,000. The Company subsequently formed a wholly-owned
subsidiary, Aurum, with the gold ore as its only asset. In June 1995, the
Company exchanged the stock of Aurum for 6,000,000 shares of common stock of
Accord. The Company had the right to receive a royalty of 12.5% of the net
mining proceeds from the processing of the ore transferred to Accord. In
November 1997, the Company returned the 6,000,000 shares of common stock of
Accord in exchange for 100% of Aurum, because Accord had not commenced and did
not anticipate commencing mining operations and the Company desired to take
action to realize the value of the gold ore.
The Company (i) has been unsuccessful in its attempts to sell the gold
ore and (ii) does not have the capability or the resources to commence the
mining of the gold ore. For these reasons, and due to the absence of current
financial and other information for Accord, the Company in Fiscal 1998 wrote
down the value of its investment in the gold ore by $3,000,000 (from $4,994,214
to $1,994,214). The Company intends to continue its attempt to sell the gold
ore, although there can be no assurance that it will be successful in doing so.
On November 2, 1998, the Company sold all the assets (excluding
accounts receivable) of its Lower Manhattan, New York physical therapy facility
for $250,000 in cash plus the assumption of outstanding equipment lease
obligations of $194,000. Proceeds of $200,000 were used to repay a note payable
to the previous owner of the facility. On December 22, 1998, the Company sold
the accounts receivable relating to the Lower Manhattan facility for 50% value
of subsequent collections and accordingly, the Company recorded a provision for
doubtful accounts of $300,000 as of May 31,1999. As of May 31, 2000, the Company
has received $31,200 from the sale of the receivables and does not expect any
future receipts.
In September 1997, the Company entered into a letter of intent,
subsequently amended in December 1997, for the acquisition of the management and
assets of medical practices and MRI facilities located in the greater New York
metropolitan area. In May 1999, the Company entered into definitive written
agreements to complete the acquisition which as of May 31, 2000, included
approximately 41 medical practices and MRI facilities located in the greater New
York metropolitan area. (See Item 1. Business. Pending Acquisition.)
As of May 31, 2000, negative working capital increased from $638,692 to
$735,999 primarily due to the Company's increase in the reserve of doubtful
accounts by $52,000 and increase in accrued professional fees by $50,000.
Year 2000
To date, no significant problems related to Year 2000 have been
identified in the Company's internal systems or with its vendors, suppliers,
service providers or customers that would materially impact the Company's
business.
Although the Company does not expect any significant future Year 2000
related failures or malfunctions, the Company will continue to monitor its
internal systems and work closely with its suppliers, service providers and
customers to seek to avoid any material interruptions in its business.

During the Company's two most recent fiscal years and for the interim periods
thereafter there were no disagreements between the Company and Most Horowitz on

disclosure, or auditing or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to

appointed Grant Thornton, LLP ("Grant Thornton") as the Company's independent
accountants for the fiscal year ended May 31, 1999. On August 17, 2000 the

of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or
accounting principles. During the Company's fiscal year ended May 31, 1999 and
through August 17, 2000 there were no disagreements between the Company and
Grant Thornton on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial
statement disclosure, or auditing or procedure, which disagreements, if not
resolved to the satisfaction of Grant Thornton, would have caused it to make
reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its
reports. During the Company's fiscal year ended May 31, 1999 and through August
17, 2000, Grant Thornton did not advise the Company of any of the matters

Employment Agreements
The Company had an employment agreement with Henry Dubbin, as amended
September 1997, which expired on September 1, 1999 and provided for a salary of
$48,000 per year. As of September 1, 1999 Mr. Dubbin continues to receive a

to Mr. Simon Boltuch at an exercise price of $2.00 per share and were
exercisable on the one year anniversary from date of grant. All options will
expire on the earlier of (i) 10 years from date of grant, (ii) 90 days after
termination of employment for any reason other than cause, or (iii) immediately
upon termination of employment for cause.
1994 Performance Equity Plan
In February 1994, the Company adopted the 1994 Performance Equity Plan
("1994 Plan") covering 600,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock pursuant to
which officers, directors, key employees and consultants of the Company are
eligible to receive incentive or non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation
rights, restricted stock awards, deferred stock, stock reload options and other
stock based awards. The 1994 Plan will terminate at such time no further awards
may be granted under the plan and awards granted are no longer outstanding,
provided that incentive options may be granted only until February 16, 2004. The
1994 Plan is administered by the Board of Directors, which determines the
selection of participants, allotment of shares, price, and other conditions of
purchase of awards and administration of the 1994 Plan.
As of August 29, 2000, no options under the 1994 Plan were outstanding.

Change in Control
In September 1997, the Company entered into a letter of intent,
subsequently amended in December 1997, for the acquisition of the management and
certain assets of medical practices and MRI facilities located in the greater
New York metropolitan area. In July 1999, the Company entered into definitive
written agreements to complete the acquisition which as of May 31, 2000,
included approximately 41 medical practices and MRI facilities located in the
greater New York metropolitan area. Collectively, the centers had revenues of
approximately $66 million and estimated earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization of approximately $27 million in calendar year 1998
(subject to audit). The Company intends to finance the pending acquisition
through issuance of debt and equity securities of the Company, which, if
consummated, will result in a substantial change to the Company's current debt
and equity structure. Although the agreements by their terms may be currently
terminated by either the Company or the sellers upon written notice, no such
notice has been delivered by any of the parties and they are continuing to
attempt to satisfy their various conditions to closing. There can be no
assurance, however, that the Company will successfully meet its obligations of
raising capital to complete the acquisitions or that all the other conditions to
the closing of the transaction will be met.
Item 12. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
On May 28, 1993, the Company acquired 50,000 tons of gold ore from
Nevada Minerals Corporation in exchange for the issuance of 1,350,000 shares of
restricted Common Stock. The gold ore was appraised as having a $5,000,000
value. On June 28, 1994, the Company formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Aurum
Mining Corporation, with the gold ore as its only asset. On June 21, 1995, an
agreement was signed between the Company and Accord whereby 100% of the stock of
Aurum was exchanged for 6,000,000 shares of common stock of Accord. Accord was
to pay the Company a royalty equal to 12.5% of the net mining income for the
productive life of the property. On November 15, 1997, the Company returned the
6,000,000 shares of common stock of Accord in exchange for 100% of the common
stock of Aurum.
In December 1996, the Company granted ten year options to acquire
375,000 shares of Common Stock to Burton Dubbin, the son of Mr. Henry Dubbin, in
exchange for consulting services. These options had an exercise price of $1.6875
per share and were to vest upon the earlier to occur of (i) the Company's
achievement of certain financial benchmarks, (ii) the five year anniversary of
the issuance of the options and Mr. Burton's being an employee with the Company
or (iii) a change of control (as defined). Mr. Burton Dubbin became an employee
of the Company in April 1997. In August 1997, Mr. Burton Dubbin terminated his
employment with the Company and entered into a two-year consulting agreement at
a fee of $150,000 per annum, plus 125,000 shares of Common Stock, of which
25,000 shares were immediately issuable and 5,000 shares are issuable monthly
(in an aggregate amount not to exceed 100,000 shares) for the duration of Mr.
Burton Dubbin's service with the Company. In addition, the Company amended the
terms of the options, making such options immediately exercisable and extending
the expiration date until 2007. In June 1998, the Company extended Mr. Burton
Dubbin's consulting agreement until August 31, 2002. In addition, the Company
granted Mr. Burton Dubbin options to purchase 500,000 shares of Common Stock at
an exercise price of $2.17 per share and were exercisable six months from date
of grant. As of May 31, 2000, these options have not been exercised. The Company
recorded consulting expenses in 1999 of approximately $925,000 relating to these
options. During the fiscal year ended May 31, 1999, Mr. Burton Dubbin exercised
options to acquire 100,000 shares of Common Stock at $1.69 per share. During the
fiscal year ended May 31, 2000, the Company granted Mr. Burton Dubbin options to
purchase 300,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.50 per share.
The Company recorded consulting expenses in 2000 of approximately $65,000
relating to these options. During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2000, Mr. Burton
Dubbin exercised options to acquire 275,000 shares of Common Stock at $1.69 per
share and 20,000 shares of Common Stock at $1.50 per share.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
Board of Directors
Oak Tree Medical Systems, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Oak Tree Medical
Systems, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of May 31, 2000, and the related consolidated
statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the year then
ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
consolidated financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Oak
Tree Medical Systems, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of May 31, 2000, and the
consolidated results of their operations and their consolidated cash flows for
the year then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
The Company's financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company
will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note A to the financial
statements, the Company has incurred substantial losses from operations end at
May 31, 2000 and has a working capital deficiency of $735,999. These factors
raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in
Note A. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
May 31, 2000 and 1999
NOTE A - BACKGROUND OF THE COMPANY
Oak Tree Medical Systems, Inc. (the "Company), a Delaware corporation, was
incorporated in Delaware on May 27, 1986, as Oak Tree Construction
Computers, Inc. From 1986 through 1990, the Company was engaged in the sale
of computer systems for the construction industry. For a number of years
thereafter, the Company was inactive. The Company changed its name to Oak
Tree Medical Systems, Inc. in August 1994. Since January 1995, the Company
has been engaged in the business of operating and managing physical therapy
care centers and related medical practices. As of May 31, 2000, the Company
closed the one remaining New York City-based physical therapy care center.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles which contemplate continuation of
the Company as a going concern. The Company has incurred substantial losses
in 2000 and 1999, used cash from operating activities in 2000 and 1999, and
has negative working capital at May 31, 2000.
In the past, the Company has funded its capital requirements from operating
cash flow loans against its accounts receivables, sales of equity
securities and the issuance of equity securities in exchange for assets
acquired and services rendered. The Company continues to explore
opportunities to raise private equity capital and, in conjunction
therewith, to provide credit support for the Company's operations and
pending acquisitions. Although the Company has in the past been and
continues to be in discussions the potential investors, there can be no
assurance that its efforts to raise any substantial amount of private
capital will be successful. Any substantial private equity investment in
the Company will result in voting dilution of the Company's existing
stockholders and could also result in economic dilution. If the Company is
unable to obtain new capital, the Company's President has agreed to
personally support the Company's cash requirements to meet its current
obligations through May 31, 2001 and fund future operations. The Company
believes that its ability to raise private equity and support from the
Company's President will provide sufficient liquidity to fund current
operations.
NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
1. Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Oak Tree
Medical Systems, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and Oak Tree
Medical Practice, P.C., a professional practice entity. All material
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
2. Revenue Recognition
Patient service revenue is reported at the estimated net realizable
amounts from patients, third-party payers and others for services
rendered, on a service date basis.
3. Use of Estimates
In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities
and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.
F-8
<PAGE>
4. Fixed Assets
Physical therapy equipment and office equipment and furniture are
stated at cost and are being depreciated on the straight-line method
over the estimated useful lives of the assets of five years. Leasehold
improvements are stated at cost and are being amortized over the terms
of the leases or the estimated useful lives of the assets of seven
years, whichever is less.
5. Deferred Acquisition Costs
Deferred acquisition costs incurred in connection with the Company's
comtemplated acquisitions of ten medical practice management companies
amounted to $98,804 for the year ended May 31, 1999. Due to the length
of this pending acquisition, the Company wrote off the entire costs to
operations in May 2000.
6. Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated
future tax consequences attributable to differences between the
financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities
and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the years in which those
temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A
valuation allowance has been established to reduce deferred tax assets
as it is more likely than not that such deferred tax assets will not be
realized. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change
in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the
enactment date.
7. Net Loss Per Share
Net loss per common share is based on the weighted-average number of
common shares outstanding during the periods.
Basic earnings per share exclude dilution and are computed by dividing
income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted-average
common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share
reflect the weighted-average common shares outstanding plus the
potential dilutive effect of securities or contracts which are
convertible to common shares, such as options, warrants, and
convertible preferred stock.
Options to purchase shares of common stock of 1,601,250 and 1,401,250
remain outstanding at May 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively, but were not
included in the computation of diluted EPS because to do so would have
been antidilutive for the periods presented.
8. Financial Instruments
Financial instruments include cash, patient care receivables, accounts
payable and accrued expenses. The amounts reported for financial
instruments are considered to be reasonable approximations of their
fair values. The fair value estimates presented herein were based on
market or other information available to management. The use of
different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies could have
a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 ("SFAS No. 123"),
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," establishes financial accounting
and reporting standards for stock-based employee compensation plans. The
financial accounting standards of SFAS No. 123 permit companies to either
continue accounting for stock-based compensation under existing rules or
adopt SFAS No. 123 and reflect the fair value of stock options and other
forms of stock-based compensation in the results of operations as
additional expense. The disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 require
companies which elect not to record the fair value in the statement of
operations to provide pro forma disclosures of net income and earnings per
share in the notes to the financial statements as if the fair value of
stock-based compensation had been recorded.
F-12
<PAGE>
The Company follows Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 and its
related interpretations in accounting for its stock-based compensation
plan.
The Company utilized the Black-Scholes option pricing model to quantify the
expense of options issued to nonemployees and the pro forma effects on net
loss and net loss per share for the value of the options granted to
employees during the fiscal years ended May 31, 2000 and 1999.
The following assumptions were made in estimating fair value:
2000 1999
---- ----
Risk-free interest rate 6% 6%
Expected volatility 42% 50%
Expected option life 10 years 10 years
Had compensation cost been determined under SFAS No. 123 for the years
ended May 31, 2000 and 1999, net loss and net loss per share would have
been increased as follows:
2000 1999
---- ----
Net loss

Pro forma for stock options $(3,362,103) $(3,483,097
Net loss per share
As reported $(.52) $(.65)
Pro forma for stock options $(.55) $(.67)
4. Stock Option Plan
The Company has a Performance Equity Plan (the "Plan") under which it may
grant incentive and nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights,
restricted stock awards, deferred stock, stock reload options and other
stock-based awards to purchase up to 600,000 shares of common stock to
officers, directors, key employees and consultants. The Company may not
grant any options with a purchase price less than fair market value of
common stock as of the date of the grant. Through May 31, 2000, the Company
had not granted any options under the Plan.
5. Reserved Shares
As of May 31, 2000, the Company has reserved the following shares of common

accordingly, a valuation allowance of $4,582,000 has been established.
As of May 31, 2000, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of
approximately $6,849,000 to reduce future Federal taxable income, expiring
