(c) Narrative Description of Business
Products and Services
Mark Correctional Systems Division
Mark operates its modular steel cell business through its division, Mark
Correctional Systems.
Modular Cells. Since the initial sale of its prefabricated modular steel
cells for correctional facilities in 1989, Mark has manufactured and sold
security prison cells in 14 states including Indiana, Illinois, New York, New
Jersey, Michigan, Missouri, Washington and Wisconsin. Revenues generated by the
sale of cells to correctional facilities aggregated $12,713,508 or 98.4% of
Mark's total operating revenues for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998. These
revenues are primarily attributable to the New York State agreement described
below.
Effective March 15, 1996, Mark received a three-year agreement from the
State of New York to be the exclusive supplier of modular steel prison cells and
shower facilities. Pursuant to the agreement, Mark will provide complete,
partially complete and/or components of modular units and support services to
Corcraft (Department of Corrections-Division of Industries) for sale to State
and local governments. The agreement has a stated estimate of 2,455 cells over
the three years; however no minimum volume is guaranteed and purchase orders are
to be issued for specific projects. The State of New York reserves the right to
renegotiate the stated contract prices or solicit third party bids for any
single order of 700 or more cells. At its option, New York State may license the
manufacture of the entire cell and will not be obligated to pay additional
licensing fees after (i) Mark receives total payments of $15,000,000 under the
agreement, (ii) the total number of cells manufactured under the license exceeds
1,000 or (iii) the fifth anniversary date of the agreement. To date, Mark has
received three (3) purchase orders for approximately $15,000,000 pursuant to
this agreement.
Mark's modular cell is a prefabricated, installation-ready, lightweight
steel structure which is manufactured according to the construction and security
specifications of each correctional institution project in sizes from 60 to 200
square feet. Each modular cell can be equipped with lavatory facilities;
wall-mounted sleeping accommodations; desk and stool; lighting and ventilation
systems; and optional components such as fixed or operable windows and hinged or
sliding security doors. Each modular cell is constructed of durable low
maintenance, non-porous materials including a scratch resistant epoxy polymer
finish and is acoustically and thermally insulated.
The modular cell's lightweight construction requires less extensive and
costly foundation work than a traditional (e.g. concrete) cell, and is designed
with a self-contained exterior access panel which allows for simple ventilation,
plumbing and electrical connections.
2
<PAGE>
Each cell is load bearing to allow for multiple-story construction, and
is manufactured to tolerances of 1/16 of an inch, which results in more
efficient and faster on-site installation.
The modular cells can also be adapted for use as infectious disease
isolation units, which have a negative pressure ventilation system, and safely
discharges contaminated air. While Mark continues to have the capability to
manufacture the infectious disease isolation units, it discontinued actively
marketing such units in Fiscal 1998.
MarkCare Medical Systems, Inc.
Mark operates its PACS business through MarkCare Medical Systems, Inc., a
wholly owned Maryland subsidiary ("MarkCare-US") and MarkCare Medical Systems,
Ltd., a wholly owned United Kingdom subsidiary ("MarkCare-UK"). MarkCare-US and
MarkCare-UK are collectively referred to as "MarkCare".
IntraScan II PACS System. The IntraScan II PACS system, is a "filmless"
picture, archiving and communications system marketed to radiology departments,
large healthcare facilities, hospitals and outpatient imaging group practices
primarily through a marketing agreement with Data General Corporation ("Data
General") described below.
The IntraScan II PACS system is a computer-based image, archival and
retrieval system that interfaces with medical imaging devices and can store and
recall images from imaging modalities including x-ray, computed tomography (CAT
Scan), computed radiography, nuclear medicine, ultra sound and magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI). While Mark is aware of similar systems in various
stages of development, management believes the IntraScan II PACS system is the
only system which is designed to be platform independent allowing the software
to operate with most computer hardware and operating systems.
The IntraScan II PACS system has a high resolution display capability (512
X 512 to 2000 X 2500 pixels). The high resolution allows medical providers to
make diagnoses from computer digital images without the need for radiographic
film. This capability eliminates the processing time for film development
allowing faster diagnoses and significantly reduces the costs related to film
development and patient record storage.
The IntraScan II PACS system allows image manipulation, including
simulation of the multi-image view box, which allows side-by-side comparisons of
images from different modalities (e.g. x-ray and CAT Scan).
In addition, the IntraScan II PACS system allows for networking between
departments within a healthcare facility or between institutions at different
locations by communication networks. This networking capability coupled with the
high resolution allows efficient and instant transfer of diagnostic quality
images for consultation and transportation of patient records.

<PAGE>
The IntraScan II PACS system includes software programs, protected by
British common law copyrights and U.S. copyrights, and standard hardware
computer equipment as to which Mark has no proprietary interests.
Effective March 18, 1996, Mark entered into a Master Supplier Agreement
with Data General pursuant to which Mark provides IntraScan II PACS system
software and related services to Data General to be incorporated into PACS sale
proposals and bids to healthcare facilities. The products and services to be
provided by Mark will be negotiated between Mark and Data General on a project
by project basis. Pursuant to this agreement, Mark is Data General's exclusive
supplier of PACS software products and Mark is permitted to market and sell the
IntraScan II PACS system software to other distributors or systems integrators.
While no assurances can be given, Mark believes that the sales related to
the IntraScan II PACS system, will generate material revenues in the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1999. Mark received its first purchase order for its IntraScan
II PACS software on August 10, 1998 from Data General.
Manufacturing and Assembly. Mark manufactures and assembles its modular
cells at its 74,000 square foot plant located in Jersey City, New Jersey, which
is equipped with a fully automated computer driven design and tooling system.
This system allows for more precise tolerances and faster production output. The
raw materials for Mark's products, including sheet metal, hardware, and other
components are supplied primarily by regional manufacturers. In addition to the
manufacture of the shell of its products, Mark purchases, assembles, and
installs the ancillary components including lavatory facilities, shower
facilities, desks, stools, and sleeping bunks. Management believes that there
are a sufficient number of national vendors to meet its raw material and
component needs, and that Mark is not dependent upon a limited number of
suppliers. With respect to the IntraScan II PACS system, Mark's primary
responsibility will be the development and loading of software programs on to
standard hardware equipment, minimal hardware modifications and networking. Mark
is able to conduct its IntraScan II PACS system assembly and modifications
activities at the offices of MarkCare-UK and its executive offices. In the event
Mark determines that additional space is necessary based on orders, management
believes that adequate space will be available on acceptable economic terms.
Delivery and On-Site Services. Mark contracts with several third-party
carriers to deliver the modular cells to the construction site. In addition,
Mark provides delivery and support services for its products including
installation assistance, operating instructions and subsequent inspections and
testing.

Marketing and Sales
Modular Cells. The market for Mark's modular cell is primarily federal,
state and local governmental agencies responsible for the construction and
maintenance of correctional institutions. While Mark believes its modular cell
technology has other applications such as temporary emergency housing, for the
foreseeable future the correctional institutions market will represent the
substantial majority of its modular products business. No assurances can be
given that any other markets will develop to any significant degree.
Mark designs prototypes of its modular cells for marketing, sales and trade
show demonstrations. Mark's marketing and sales efforts are managed by its Vice
President of Sales and Marketing and include in- person solicitations, direct
mail campaigns and participation in industry trade shows. Mark presently markets
and sells its modular cells directly and through independent manufacturers'
representatives. Mark's network consists of 10 outside sales representatives
servicing eighteen (18) states and eleven (11) foreign countries including
Canada, Italy, France and Latin America. Each representative generally enters
into an agreement with Mark, which contains certain non-disclosure restrictions
and provides for payment on a commission basis. Mark has also signed a licensing
agreement covering the continent of Africa and several surrounding islands.
As a result of the New York State agreement, Mark has identified State
prison industries, which operate as job training and rehabilitative programs for
inmates, as a potential market for its modular cells. Mark is soliciting
interest in the integration of its cells into other prison industries programs
based on the New York State model.
IntraScan II PACS System. The IntraScan II PACS system is primarily
marketed jointly with Data General as the prime contractor to its existing
healthcare client base and to other healthcare institutions. Mark personnel
participate in systems demonstrations, site visits, and assist in the
solicitation of and response to request for proposals. Mark has entered into
other strategic alliances with established medical equipment providers to gain
access to existing clients and to benefit from such companies' marketing and
sales forces. Mark has signed licensing/marketing agreements with: Santax A/S, a
Norwegian company; Konica, a multi-national company; Worldcare, a United Kingdom
company; Avantec, an Indian company; AIS, a Swiss company, and Medilink, an
Australian company.
Bid Process, Subcontracting and Bonding Requirements
Mark has derived the substantial majority of its revenues from state and
local government correctional projects and is consequently required to prepare
and submit bid proposals based on the design and specifications prepared by the
supervising architectural or engineering firm. Mark prepares and submits a
formal bid proposal, which includes
5
<PAGE>
price quotations and estimates, selected material options and construction time
estimates. Depending on the nature of the project, Mark itself may bid, or
provide bidding data regarding Mark's products to a firm which is bidding to
become the general contractor for the project. In the latter case, the Mark data
is incorporated into the bid made by the prospective general contractor. After
receipt and review of all accepted bids the governmental agency awards the
contract based on numerous factors including costs, reputation, completion
estimates and subcontracting arrangements. In those instances where Mark is not
the direct bidder but provides bid information to a general contractor who is
ultimately awarded the project, there is no guarantee that Mark will receive the
subcontract business.
The typical time period from submission of bids to awarding of the contract
to the direct bidder (whether Mark or a general contractor) is 60 to 120 days.
In those instances, where Mark is not the direct bidder, subcontracts are
generally awarded within an additional 60 to 120 days.
In connection with some government construction projects, Mark is required
to provide performance and completion bonds as a condition to submission or
participation in a bid. Due to Mark's financial condition, it has generally been
unable to obtain bonds without the assistance and guarantee of third parties
including Mark's President and/or another business entity owned by an outside
director. See "Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions". To
date, Mark has not limited its bidding activity nor lost any projects due to its
limited bonding capacity. However, as Mark is awarded multiple projects, the
inability to obtain bonds may limit the number of additional projects Mark can
pursue and would have a material adverse effect on operations.
Regulation
Mark modular cells are subject to various state building codes including
BOCA, UBC, the Southern Building Codes and criteria established by the American
National Standards Institute. In addition, these products are subject to the
guidelines and regulations of OSHA, NIOSH and Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention. The modular cells comply with such codes and regulations in all
material respects.
IntraScan II PACS system is a "class II medical device", classified by the
Federal Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") subject to the pre-market
notification and approval process. Accordingly, the products are regulated by
The Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act and The Safe Medical Devices Act of 1990
regarding the (i) effectiveness and safety of the product, (ii) condition of the
manufacturing facilities and procedures and, (iii) labeling of devices. Mark has
received a letter from the FDA for the IntraScan II PACS system, authorizing
commercial distribution.
Certain aspects of Mark's manufacturing process are regulated by state and
Federal environmental laws. Mark has obtained all necessary licenses and permits
in this regard and is in compliance in all material respects with applicable
environmental laws.

Competition
Modular Cells. The construction industry in general and the governmental
construction industry in particular are highly competitive. Due to the use of
concrete and other traditional construction methods in the substantial majority
(approximately 90%) of correctional facility construction, Mark competes for
market share with a number of major construction companies. Such competition is
not with respect to any particular project, but in persuading the purchasing
agency to utilize steel cell construction rather than traditional methods.
With respect to those projects which incorporate modular cell
specifications in its design criteria, Mark competes with several other steel
product manufacturers, some of which have greater financial resources than Mark.
In addition, a number of manufacturers, which have greater financial and
marketing resources than Mark, and which currently produce sheet metal products,
could ultimately manufacture modular cells in competition with Mark.
Although competition in the construction industry is intense, Mark believes
it can compete for market share of correctional facility construction business
by promoting the viability and construction advantages of its technology to the
architectural, engineering and construction industries. In this regard
management emphasizes the uniqueness of its modular cell design which can be
manufactured and installed more efficiently than traditional concrete
construction by virtue of lower labor and construction costs and shorter
installation time and the life cycle cost savings. Mark also believes its
modular cell design has advantages over other manufacturers' steel cells.
IntraScan II PACS System. Other companies, which are larger and better
established than Mark, provide PACS systems for radiology departments. In
addition, large film and medical equipment manufacturers may enter into the PACS
business as the potential market is recognized. Mark believes the effectiveness
of a PACS system features and post-installation support, are significant factors
for its market. Mark believes it can compete by focusing its product development
on platform independent software applications, which broadens the market base,
continually updating the features of its software, and forming strategic
alliances with established healthcare computer systems providers, such as Data
General.
Employees
As of September 30, 1998, Mark had four (4) management employees, two (2)
sales employees, nine (9) engineering employees and seven (7) office and
clerical employees. Mark also employs hourly employees in its manufacturing
facilities who are subject to a collective bargaining agreement, which expired
on August 31 , 1998. Mark is currently in negotiations on a new three (3) year
collective bargaining agreement. Management believes its employee relations to
be good.
As of September 30, 1998, MarkCare-UK had twelve (12) clerical/software
programming employees and two (2) sales employees.

<PAGE>
Copyrights, Patents and Trade Secrets
Mark does not presently own any patents on its modular cells or
manufacturing assembly process. However, Mark attempts to protect its
proprietary trade secrets regarding the design and manufacture of its products
through non-disclosure agreements between Mark, its employees and most
third-party suppliers and manufacturers' representatives.
The IntraScan II PACS system software programs are protected by British
common law copyright and United States copyright. Mark has applied for patents
on several aspects of the IntraScan II PACS system. Mark believes the protection
afforded by the copyrights and the granting of any patents for the IntraScan II
PACS System will allow Mark to maintain its competitiveness in the PACS market.
Item 2. Property
Mark leases its executive offices at 1515 Broad Street, Bloomfield, New
Jersey 07003, which consist of 6,500 square feet of space. Mark's lease expires
on December 31, 1998 and provides for monthly rent of $7,200. In addition, Mark
leases 74,000 square feet of manufacturing space in Jersey City, New Jersey
pursuant to a triple net lease expiring on November 15, 2004 at an annual rental
of $174,240 for the initial five years. The rent for the remaining three years
is subject to increases based on the consumer price index at that time.
MarkCare-UK leases its offices, which consist of 1,750 square feet of space
on a month to month basis at a monthly rent of $2,063.
Management believes its present manufacturing facilities and additional
available facilities are sufficient for Mark's current and anticipated needs.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
On August 28, 1998, Evergreen Mobile Company filed a demand for
arbitration against Mark in San Francisco, California with the American
Arbitration Association alleging delay and warranty claims of $1,333,000 related
to a contract under which Mark provided modular steel cells for $432,000. Mark
believes the alleged damages are excessive and intends to vigorously defend this
action.
In September 1997, the Pulaski County Board of Indiana filed a lawsuit
against Mark and Calumet Construction Corporation, the general contractor
("Calumet"), related to a project where Mark provided modular steel cells for
$913,731. The County alleges delay claims, and other damages caused by, among
other things, delays in delivery of the cells and requests a declaratory
judgment for the allocation of the remaining balance of $313,700 the County
believes it owes Mark and Calumet under the project. The parties attempted to
resolve the dispute through mediation, during which Calumet asserted backcharges
against Mark of $399,000. Mark believes the delay claims and backcharges are
excessive and is vigorously defending this action.

In August 1997, Mark filed a demand for arbitration against Demien
Construction Company ("Demien") in Missouri with the American Arbitration
Association alleging nonpayment of approximately $200,000 related to a contract
under which Mark provided modular steel cells for $407,000. Demien has asserted
delay claims and backcharges for remedial work of approximately $244,000 against
Mark. Mark believes the alleged damages are excessive and intends to vigorously
pursue this action.

(d) Sales of Unregistered Securities in Fiscal Year 1998.
The following sets forth information regarding private placement of
equity securities by Mark during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998.
Mark issued the following warrants to three (3) individuals for
business consulting or legal services. Each of the transactions were effected in
reliance on the registration exemption provided by Section 4(2) of the
Securities Act as not involving a public offering due to the limited nature of
the offering and the investor sophistication of the individuals.

30,000 $ 1.125 3 Years 06/25/98
5,000 $ 2.375 3 Years 02/12/98
On May 19, 1998, Mark granted three-year options to purchase 35,000 shares
of Common Stock at between $2.00 and $2.875 per share to three employees as
incentive compensation. Each of the grants was effected in reliance on the
registration exemption provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act as not
involving a public offering due to the limited nature of the offering and the
individual's relationship with Mark.
On May 19, 1998, Mark granted five-year warrants to purchase 75,000 shares
of Common Stock at $1.50 per share to a holder of $200,000 in Mark's convertible
debentures as an inducement to convert the debentures. This transaction was
effected in reliance on the registration exemption provided by Section 4(2) of
the Securities Act as not involving a public offering due to the limited nature
of the offering and the investor sophistication of the individuals.
On June 25, 1998 Mark cancelled options granted to its four outside
directors to purchase an aggregate of 400,000 shares of Common Stock at between
$2.875 and $3.375 per share and granted each outside director five-year options
to purchase 100,000 shares of Common Stock at $1.125 per share, the closing
sales price on the date of grant. Each of the grants was effected in reliance on
the registration exemption provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act as not
involving a public offering due to the limited nature of the offering, the
investor sophistication of the individuals and the individuals' relationship
with Mark.
On June 25, 1998 Mark cancelled options granted to two of its officers to
purchase an aggregate of 400,000 shares of Common Stock at $2.875 per share and
granted to these officers three-year options to purchase 400,000 shares of
Common Stock at $1.125 per share, the closing sales price on the date of grant.
Each of the grants was effected in reliance on the registration exemption
provided by Section
11
<PAGE>
4(2) of the Securities Act as not involving a public offering due to the limited
nature of the offering, the investor sophistication of the individuals and the
individuals' relationship with Mark.
On June 25, 1998, Mark extended the expiration date of outstanding warrants
to purchase an aggregate of 140,000 shares of Common Stock at $2.00 per share
from June 30, 1998, to December 31, 1998. These warrants were previously granted
to three individuals pursuant to a private placement financing in 1995. The
transaction was effected in reliance on the registration exemption provided by
Section 4(2) of the Securities Act as not involving a public offering due to the
limited nature of the offering, the investor sophistication of the individuals
and the individuals' relationship with Mark.
In June 1998, Mark completed a $2,750,000 private placement of equity and
debt units (the "Private Placement") pursuant to which Mark issued 1,220,000
shares of Common Stock (the "Private Placement Common Stock"), (i) $1,530,000
principal amount convertible debentures due December 28, 1999, (the "Convertible
Debentures"), (ii) warrants to purchase 1,375,000 shares of Common Stock, (iii)
and an option exercisable by the investors to purchase an additional $2,550,000
principal amount convertible debentures with warrants to purchase 1,275,000
shares of Common Stock (the "Debt Unit Option"). This transaction was effected
in reliance on the registration exemption provided by Section 4(2) of the
Securities Act as not involving a public offering due to the limited nature of
the offering and the investor sophistication of the individuals.
The holders of the Private Placement Common Stock are entitled to
additional shares of Common Stock to the extent the net proceeds from the sale
of the Private Placement Common Stock is less than $1.30 per share (the "Share
Adjustment"). The Convertible Debentures are convertible into shares of Common
Stock at the lesser of (i) $1.50 per share or (ii) 75% of the average closing
bid price of the Common Stock for the five trading days immediately preceding
the conversion. The Warrants are exercisable for a four-year period at $1.50 per
share. The Debt Unit Option entitles the investors to purchase up to an
additional $2,550,000 in 18-month principal amount convertible debentures with
terms identical to the Convertible Debentures with four-year warrants to
purchase an aggregate of 1,250,000 shares of Common Stock at $1.50 per share.
Issuance of shares of Common Stock in excess of 3,615,334 pursuant to the
Private Placement including the (i) Share Adjustment, (ii) conversion of the

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations.
General
Mark's results of operations, liquidity, and working capital position have
been historically impacted by sporadic sales of its principal product, modular
steel cells. This sales pattern is primarily the result of the construction
industry's unfamiliarity with Mark's products and the emergence of competition.
Mark's modular steel cell is an alternative to traditional construction
methods, and penetration into the construction market has met resistance
typically associated with an unfamiliar product. Accordingly, Mark has been, and
will continue to be, subject to significant sales fluctuations until its modular
cell technology receives greater acceptance in the construction market, which
management believes will occur as new projects are awarded and completed. In an
attempt to achieve greater acceptance in the architectural, engineering, and
construction communities, Mark's internal sales and engineering personnel and
its nationwide network of independent sales representatives conduct sales
presentations and participate in trade shows and other promotional activities.
Mark has expanded its marketing efforts to more aggressively pursue
domestic and international joint venture and design/build development
opportunities to obtain projects and improve its results of operations in
efforts to achieve profitability. In addition, Mark is promoting the
incorporation of its modular cell products to state prison industries programs
to capitalize on the New York State agreement. See "Item 1. Business (c)
Narrative Description of Business-Marketing and Sales." Mark will continue to
review its overhead and personnel expenses based on operating results and
prospects.
Mark is continually bidding on and soliciting joint venture opportunities
regarding construction projects. The anticipated revenues from any major project
would substantially improve Mark's operating results and cash flow, although no
assurances can be given that any of these projects will be awarded to Mark.
Under a three-year contract expiring in December 1999 with the State of New
York, Mark provides modular steel cells and components to the State's prison
industry program for the final assembly. In fiscal year ended June 30, 1998,
revenues from this contract were approximately $12,000,000.
Mark currently has bids pending on approximately $16,030,000 in modular
cell projects. In addition to the New York State orders of $12,000,000, Mark bid
on $51,000,000 in correctional cell projects in the fiscal year ended June 30,
1998, was awarded $3,000,000 of the
14
<PAGE>
projects and remains under consideration for $13,000,000 of these projects. For
the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998 modular steel cells represented $22,000,000
or 43% of all domestic correctional cell projects awarded and Mark received 68%
of these modular steel cell awards.
Through its subsidiaries, MarkCare Medical Systems, Inc. and MarkCare
Medical Systems, Ltd., (collectively "MarkCare"), Mark continues to market its
IntraScan II PACS and teleradiology systems and is forming strategic alliance
with other companies with related medical products. Mark has a master supplier
agreement with Data General Corporation, a large computer hardware and systems
integration provider with a client base of over 1,000 applications to which Data
General will include the IntraScan II PACS system and teleradiology software
applications in proposals to healthcare institutions. Mark has recently signed
licensing/marketing agreements with six (6) companies including SANTAX A/S,
WorldCare UK, Ltd. and Konica U.K., Ltd. Management anticipates that sales of
the IntraScan II PACS system will begin to generate material revenues in the
fiscal year ending June 30, 1999 although no assurances can be given in this
regard. If the IntraScan marketing plan is successful, management believes that
the revenues from resulting sales will be more constant then those of the
modular steel products presently, and will reduce fluctuations in Mark's results
of operations and financial condition.
The following table sets forth Mark's segmented results of operations
of continuing operations for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998.

Results of Operations
Substantially all of Mark's operating revenues for the reported periods
were derived from the sale of its modular cells to correctional institutions.
Management believes that the sale of these modular steel products will continue
to represent a majority of Mark's operating revenues through June 30, 1999.

</TABLE>
Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 1998 Compared to
Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 1997
Revenues from sales for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998, increased
100.3% to $12,921,810 from $6,449,744 for the comparable period. This increase
is primarily attributable to the awarding of a $12,000,000 project under the New
York State agreement.
Cost of sales for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998, consists of
materials, labor and fixed factory overhead expense and increased by 80.1% to
$10,972,291 from $6,091,773 for the comparable period. Cost of sales as a
percentage of revenues was 84.9% for the year ended June 30, 1998 as compared to
94.4% for the comparable period. Management expects continued gross profit
improvement as sales become less sporadic and as the plant achieves additional
operating efficiencies. For the year ended June 30, 1998 fixed factory overhead
expenses were $264,381 as compared to $272,936 for the comparable 1997 period.
Management believes that the substantial majority of the revenues of the
MarkCare line will be attributable to software sales and support services, which
have higher gross profits.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the fiscal year ended June
30, 1998, decreased 3.9% to $3,940,341 from $4,100,177 for the comparable 1997
period. Stabilization of these expenses is attributable to management's focus on
cost controls.
Mark reduced its operating losses 46.8% to $1,990,822 in the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1998 from $3,742,206 in the comparable period. For the same
period, Mark's net loss decreased by 56.1%.
16
<PAGE>
Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 1997 Compared to
Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 1996
Revenues from sales for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997 increased 86.7%
to $6,449,744 from $3,454,615 for the comparable 1996 period. This increase is
primarily attributable to the awarding of nine projects, including $3,000,000
under the New York State agreement.
Cost of sales for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997, consists primarily
of materials, labor and fixed factory overhead expense and increased 51.5% to
$6,091,773 from $4,022,102 for the comparable 1996. Cost of sales as a
percentage of revenues was 94.4% for the year ended June 30, 1997 as compared to
116.4% for the comparable 1996 period. Despite losses incurred in connection
with the outsourcing of projects for the three months ended September 30, 1996,
factory start up costs incurred in the quarter ended December 31, 1996 and cost
overruns on several projects, Mark reduced its cost of sales as a percentage of
revenues. Management expects continued gross profit improvement due to the
completed relocation of its factory and improved operating efficiencies. For the
year ended June 30, 1997 fixed factory overhead expenses were $272,066 as
compared to $155,987 for the comparable 1996 period due to an increase in
repairs and maintenance. Management believes that the substantial majority of
the revenues of the MarkCare line will be attributable to software sales and
support services, which have higher gross profit.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the fiscal year ended June
30, 1997 increased 10.3% to $4,100,177 from $3,718,886 for the comparable 1996
period. Stabilization of these expenses is attributable to reduction of office
staff expenses, trade show expenses and professional fees partially offset by
the inclusion of $877,269 of selling, general and administrative expenses of
MarkCare-UK, which was acquired in May, 1996.
Mark reduced its operating losses 26.1% to $3,742,206 in the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1997 from $5,063,868 in the comparable 1996 period. However, due
to a non-cash imputed interest expense of $1,422,813 in connection with the
issuance of $4,500,000 in principal amount 7% convertible debentures for working
capital purposes, Mark's Net Loss for fiscal year 1997 increased 5.2% from
fiscal year 1996.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Mark's working capital requirements result principally from staff and
management overhead, office expense and marketing efforts. Mark's working
capital requirements have historically exceeded its working capital from
operations due to sporadic sales. Accordingly, Mark has been dependent and,
absent continued improvements in operations, will continue to be dependent on
the infusion of new capital in the form of equity or debt financing to meet its
working capital deficiencies, although no assurance can be given that such
financing will be available. Mark believes its present available working capital
17
<PAGE>
and anticipated cash from its existing contracts is sufficient to meet its
operating requirements through June 30, 1999. Mark obtained a $400,000 revolving
line of credit collateralized by substantially all of its assets and has no
outstanding borrowings at September 30, 1998. To the extent it requires
additional capital, Mark will continue to principally look to private sources.
On June 29, 1998, Mark completed a $2,750,000 private placement of debt and
equity units (the "Private Placement") pursuant to which Mark sold (i) 1,220,000
in Common Stock, (ii) $1,530,000 in convertible debentures due December 28,
1999, (iii) warrants to purchase 1,375,000 shares of Common Stock and (iv) an
option to purchase an additional $2,550,000 principal amount debentures with
warrants to purchase 1,275,000 shares of Common Stock. See " Part II, Item 5(d)-
"Sales of Unregistered Securities in Fiscal 1998" for a description of the terms
of the Private Placement.
In the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998, Mark sold 580,000 shares of Common
Stock pursuant to the exercise of warrants for gross proceeds of $1,510,450.
Mark presently has an effective registration statement relating to 569,500
shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of warrants and options, the
majority of which are at exercise prices ranging from $2.00 to $5.00 per share.
Mark will initially look to the exercise of outstanding warrants and options to
meet working capital deficits, if any. If Mark is required to seek additional
private sales of its securities, if available, the sales would most likely be at
discounts to the current trading price of the Common Stock.
Mark's inventories decreased from $336,287 at June 30, 1997 to $112,474 at
June 30, 1998 due to the completion of a major contract prior to year-end. While
Mark presented does not have any material commitments for capital expenditures,
management believes that is working capital requirements for inventory and other
manufacturing related costs will significantly increase with increases in
product orders.
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998, Mark had negative cash flow from
operating activities of $1,437,949. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998,
Mark had negative cash flow from investing activities of $216,338 attributable
to the purchase of property and equipment. Mark has no present intention to make
any acquisition, which would have a material negative or positive effect on cash
flow.
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998, financing activities provided
$1,796,407 in cash, principally from the Private Placement and warrants
exercises.
Cash and cash equivalents increased from $422,457 at June 30, 1997 to
$564,577 at June 30, 1998 due to financing activities. Working capital increased
to $3,078,217 at June 30, 1998 from $923,457 at June 30, 1997 primarily due to
proceeds of long-term debenture issuance.
18
<PAGE>
Due to issues regarding certain terms of the Private Placement, each of the
investors is an "underwriter" of the Private Placement Shares in connection with
any resale and has rescission rights through November 4, 1999. Consequently,
Mark has classified $1,220,000 of the proceeds as "Temporary Stockholders
Equity" at June 30, 1998. See Note 10C. of the Financial Statements. If all of
the investors assert rescission rights the investors would be entitled to (i)
return the Private Placement Shares, related Warrants and the rights to the
Adjustment Shares, if any, and receive a refund of their purchase price of
$1,220,000 plus interest or (ii) if the Private Placement Shares, related
Warrants and the rights to the Adjustment Shares, if any, are sold, sue for the
difference between the purchase price of $1,220,000 and the sales price of these
securities. Mark believes it is unlikely that any of the investors would assert
rescission rights since, under terms of the Private Placement, each investor is
effectively assured a return on their investment in excess of the amount they
would receive in a rescission award. Accordingly, Mark has not and does not
intend to reserve any funds to provide for this contingency. If a significant
number of the investors decide to assert rescission rights, Mark's working
capital position (which at June 30, 1998 was $3,078,217) would be materially
adversely effected.
Other Matters
As of June 30, 1998, Mark had net operating loss carry-forwards of
approximately $19,550,000. Such carry-forwards begin to expire in the year 2009
if not previously used. The $19,550,000 carry-forward is comprised of
approximately $17,850,000 which is available to offset taxable income in the tax
year ending June 30, 1999. The remaining $1,700,000 carry-forward is restricted
as to utilization under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. Since
realization of the tax benefits associated with these carry-forwards is not
assured, a full valuation allowance was recorded against these tax benefits as
required by SFAS No. 109.
Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices
Mark has been affected by inflation through increased costs of materials
and supplies, increased salaries and benefits and increased general and
administrative expenses; however, unless limited by competitive or other
factors, Mark passes on increased costs by increasing its prices for products
and services.
Forward Looking Statements
Except for the historical information contained herein, the matters
discussed in this report are forward looking statements under the federal
securities law. These statements are based on Mark's current plan and
expectations and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual future
activities and results to differ materially from those projected. Such risks and
uncertainty include, among other things, collection risks, meeting financial
requirements and the uncertainty of material sales of the IntraScan II PACS
system.

Year 2000 Disclosure
After an evaluation and analysis of its operations, including its
financial and operational computer systems applications, Mark has concluded no
material adverse effect on its operations will occur due to Year 2000 software
failures. To the extent modifications to such systems are required, management
believes the related costs will not materially affect Mark's financial position.

1998 Fiscal Year End Repricing of Options
The following table sets forth all repricing of stock options held by the
named officers in the Summary Compensation Table in the last ten years.
On June 25, 1998, the Board of Directors of Mark determined to effectively
lower the exercise price of options granted on December 4, 1997 to employees of
Mark, including Messrs. Coppola and Nafash, by canceling such options and
granting new options. The terms of the new options were identical in all
respects to the cancelled options except for the exercise price and new
expiration date. The purpose and intention of the repricing was to maintain
equity incentives for key employees to foster loyalty and economic motivation.
The Board of Directors believes that stock options which are significantly out
of the money provides no particular compensatory incentive to employees
regarding performance or to forego alternate employment opportunities.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.
Mark purchases lighting fixtures, fabricating services and other related
services from Mark Lighting Fixture Co., Inc. ("Mark Lighting"), a company
wholly owned by Carl Coppola, President and Chief Executive Officer of Mark. For
the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998, Mark paid Mark Lighting $416,497 for such
goods and services.
On December 4, 1997, Mr. Coppola was granted three-year options to purchase
250,000 shares of Common Stock at $2.875 per share. On June 25, 1998, the
foregoing options were cancelled and Mr. Coppola was granted three-year options
to purchase 250,000 shares of Common Stock at $1.125 per share the closing sales
price on the date of grant.
In May 1997, Mr. Coppola made loans aggregating $160,000 to Mark for
working capital purposes. The loans are represented by demand notes with an
annual interest rate of 10% payable semiannually. These notes were repaid on
April 16, 1998.
In May 1998, Mark loaned Mr. Coppola $100,000 at 10% interest per annum.
The loan was payable on demand and was repaid in full in September 1998.
On December 4, 1997, Mr. Nafash was granted three-year options to purchase
150,000 shares of Common Stock at $2.875 per share. On June 25, 1998, the
foregoing options were cancelled and Mr. Nafash granted three-year options to
purchase 150,000 shares of Common Stock at $1.125 per share the closing sales
price on the date of grant.
In order to induce their exercise, on September 9, 1997, Mark reduced the
exercise price of warrants to purchase 100,000 shares of Common Stock issued to
Joseph Salvani from $5.00 to $2.50 per share.

<PAGE>
Mark grants each nonemployee director options as compensation for serving
on the Board of Directors. On December 4, 1997, each of the outside directors
received five-year options to purchase 100,000 shares of Common Stock at between
$2.875 and $3.375 per share. On June 25, 1998, the foregoing options were
cancelled and each outside director received five-year options to purchase
100,000 shares of Common Stock at $1.125 per share the closing sale price on the
date of grant.
Management believes that each of the foregoing transactions are on terms no
less favorable to Mark than could be obtained from unaffiliated third parties.

We have audited the consolidated balance sheet of Mark Solutions, Inc. and
Subsidiaries as of June 30, 1998, and the related consolidation statements of
operations, stockholders' equity (deficiency), and cash flows for the year
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 did not audit the
financial statements of MarkCare Medical Systems Limited, a wholly owned
subsidiary, which statements reflect total assets of $155,015 as of June 30,1998
and a net loss of $1,301,640 for the year then ended. Those statements were
audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished to us, and our
opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for MarkCare Medical
Systems Limited, is based solely on the report of the other auditors.
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 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, based on our audit and the report of the other auditors, the
consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Mark Solutions, Inc. and
Subsidiaries as of June 30, 1998, and the results of its operations and cash
flows for the year then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

Report of Independent Certified Public Accountants
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Mark Solutions, Inc. and Subsidiaries:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Mark
Solutions, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of June 30, 1997 and the related
consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity (impairment), and
cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended June 30, 1997.
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 audits. We did not audit the financial
statements of MarkCare Medical Systems Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary, which
statements reflect total assets of $192,095 as of June 30, 1997 and total
revenues of $224,125 and $41,946, respectively, for the two years then ended.
Those statements were audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished
to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for
MarkCare Medical Systems Limited, is based solely on the report of the other
auditors.
We conducted our audits 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 misstatements. 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 audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Mark
Solutions, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of June 30, 1997 and the results of its
operations and cash flows for each of the years in the two year period ended
June 30, 1997 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Mark Solutions, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1 - Management Plans and Subsequent Events:
Mark Solutions, Inc.'s (the Company) modular cell products represent an
alternative to traditional construction methods, and penetration into the
construction market has met resistance typically associated with an unfamiliar
product. Accordingly, the Company has been and will continue to be subject to
significant sales fluctuations until its modular cell technology receives
greater acceptance in the construction market, which management believes will
occur as new projects are awarded and completed.
In May 1996, the Company acquired MarkCare Medical Systems Limited
(formerly Simis Medical Imaging Limited), the entity, which developed the
IntraScan II PACS software, to more effectively control the development and
marketing strategy. In addition, the Company has entered into a software
supplier agreement with Data General Corporation, a large computer hardware and
integration provider, pursuant to which Data General will include the IntraScan
II PACS software program in proposals to health care institutions. Although no
assurances can be given, management believes that these actions will improve the
effectiveness of its marketing plan and will enable the Company to generate
significant revenues from the IntraScan II PACS system in fiscal 1999. Mark
received its first purchase order for its IntraScan II PACS software on August
10, 1998 from Data General.
The Company's working capital requirements have historically exceeded its
working capital from operations. Accordingly, the Company has been dependent,
and absent significant improvements in operations, will continue to be dependent
on the infusion of new capital in the form of equity or debt financing.
The Company has effective registration statements relating to 569,500
shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of warrants and options and
intends to register approximately 3,760,000 additional shares of common stock
issuable upon the exercise of other outstanding warrants and options. The
Company will initially look to the exercise of presently outstanding warrants
and options to meet working capital deficits, however if sufficient securities
are not exercised, the Company will consider additional private sales of its
securities.
The Company believes the existing modular cell contracts, presently
available working capital, projected modular cell contracts and other financial
developments will result in improved operating results and generate sufficient
working capital through fiscal 1999.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies:
A. Nature of Business - The Company is a Delaware corporation, which
operates its various businesses through wholly owned subsidiaries
and a division.
The Company is engaged in the design, manufacture, and/or
installation of (i) modular steel cells for correctional institution
construction and (ii) diagnostic support, picture archiving and
communication computer systems (PACS) marketed under the name
"IntraScan".
B. Basis of Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of Mark Solutions, Inc. (Mark) and its wholly
owned Subsidiaries, MarkCare Medical Systems, Inc. (MarkCare), and
MarkCare Medical Systems Limited (LTD). The operations of MarkCare
Medical Systems Limited are included in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements from the date it was acquired, May
28, 1996. Prior to consolidation, the financial statements of LTD
are reconciled to U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
C. Revenue Recognition - Revenues are recorded at the time services are
performed or when products are shipped except for manufacturing
contracts which are recorded on the percentage-of-completion method
which measures the percentage of costs incurred over the estimated
total costs for each contract.This method is used because management
considers incurred costs to be the best available measure of
progress on these contracts. Contract costs include all direct
material and labor costs and those indirect costs related to
contract performance Selling, general and administrative costs are
charged to expense as incurred. Provisions for estimated losses on
uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses
are determined. The Company provides an allowance for bad debts
and returns based upon its historical experience. The allowance
for bad debts is charged as a general and administrative expense.
D. Cash Equivalents - For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the
Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with
a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
E. Inventories - Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market
on a first-in, first-out basis. The Company evaluates the levels of
inventory based on historical movement and current projections of
usage of the inventory. If this evaluation indicates obsolescence
and or slow movement, the Company would record a reduction in the
carrying value by the amount the cost basis exceeded the estimated
net realizable value of the inventory.
-F-9-
<PAGE>
Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued):
F. Property and Depreciation - All property and equipment items are
stated at cost. Leasehold improvements are amortized under the
straight-line method. Substantially all other items are depreciated
under straight line and accelerated methods. Depreciation and
amortization is provided in amounts sufficient to write-off the cost
of depreciable assets, less salvage value, over the following
estimated useful lives:
Machinery and equipment 7 years
Demonstration equipment 5 - 7 years
Office furniture and equipment 5 - 7 years
Leasehold improvements 5 - 7 years
Vehicles 5 years
Property held under capital lease 5 years
From January 1, 1996 to September 30, 1996 the Company did not
maintain a manufacturing facility and out-sourced its manufacturing
to third party manufacturers. As a result, the Company's
manufacturing equipment, with a cost of $1,261,637, was not
utilized. The accompanying financial statements do not include a
charge for the depreciation of the manufacturing equipment from
January 1, 1996 to September 30, 1996.
The Company obtained a manufacturing facility on October 1, 1996 and
subsequently placed the manufacturing equipment in service.
G. Costs in Excess of Net Assets of Businesses Acquired - In connection
with the acquisition of MarkCare and LTD, the excess acquisition
cost over the fair value of net assets of businesses acquired is
being amortized using the straight-line method over five years.
The Company periodically reviews the carrying amounts of costs in
excess of net assets of businesses acquired. If events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the amount of the net assets may not be
recoverable, based on information available to the Company at that
time, including current and projected cash flows, an appropriate
adjustment is charged to operations.
H. Income Taxes - Deferred income taxes are recognized for tax
consequences of "temporary differences" by applying enacted
statutory tax rates, applicable to future years, to differences
between the financial reporting and the tax basis of existing assets
and liability. Deferred taxes are also recognized for operating
losses that are available to offset future taxable income.
-F-10-
<PAGE>
Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued):
I. Loss Per Common Share - In 1998, the Company adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" (SFAS
No. 128). This Statement establishes standards for computing and
presenting earnings (loss) per share (EPS).
SFAS No. 128 requires dual presentation of basic and diluted EPS.
Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income
available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the
potential dilution that could occur if stock options or convertible
securities were exercised or converted into common stock. The
Company's adoption of SFAS No. 128 did not materially change current
and prior years' EPS.
Basic and diluted loss per share amounts were equivalent for the
years ended June 30, 1998, 1997 and 1996.
J. Stock-Based Compensation - The Company grants stock options to
employees with an exercise price equal to or above the fair value of
the shares at the date of the grant. The Company accounts for stock
option grants in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees," and, accordingly, recognizes no
compensation expense for the stock option grants.
K. Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of expenses during the report period. The
estimates involve judgments with respect to, among other things,
various future factors which are difficult to predict and are beyond
the control of the Company. Therefore, actual amounts could differ
from these estimates.
L. Research and Development Costs - Research and development costs,
consisting of salaries and materials, relating to software
development are expensed as incurred. Prior to technological
feasibility the costs were charged to Selling, General and
Administrative expense, amounting to $0, $481,987 and $326,158 for
the years ended June 30, 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
M. Reclassifications - Certain prior year amounts have been
reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.
-F-11-
<PAGE>
Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued):
N. New Standards - In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive
Income," which establishes standards for reporting and display of
comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances.
Comprehensive income is defined to include all changes in equity
except those resulting from investments by owners and distribution
to owners. Among other disclosures, SFAS No. 130 requires that all
items that are required to be recognized under current accounting
standards as components of comprehensive income be reported in a
financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as
other financial statements.
In addition, in June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131,
"Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information," which establishes standards for reporting information
about operating segments. It also establishes standards for
disclosures regarding products and services, geographic areas and
major customers.
Both of these new standards are effective for periods beginning
after December 15, 1997 and require comparative information for
earlier years to be restated. The implementation of these new
standards will not affect the Company's results of operations and
financial position, but may have an impact on future financial
statement disclosures.
Note 3 - Acquisition:
On May 28, 1996, the Company acquired all of the capital stock of MarkCare
Medical Systems Limited, a privately held British company (LTD) for $1,250,000
payable in the Company's common stock. This acquisition has been accounted for
using the purchase method of accounting. The Company recorded costs in excess of
net assets approximating $1,050,000 in connection with this acquisition.

Common Stock at $1.50 per share.
Issuance of Common Stock in excess of 3,615,334 shares pursuant to
the Private Placement including the (i) Adjustment Shares, (ii)
conversion of the Convertible Debentures, (iii) exercise of Warrants
and (iv) exercise of the Debt Unit Option is subject to the approval
of the Company's shareholders. In the absence of shareholder approval
of issuance's in excess of 3,615,334 shares the holders of the
Private Placement Common Stock and Convertible debentures will have
the right to demand cash payment equal to the value of the Share
Adjustment and the redemption of the Convertible Debentures at 125%
of the principal amount plus accrued interest.
C. Temporary Stockholders Equity:
Due to issues regarding certain terms of the Private Placement,
each of the investors is an "underwriter" of the Private Placement
Shares in connection with any resale and has rescission rights
through November 4, 1999. If all of the investors assert rescission
rights, the investors would be entitled to (i) return the Private
Placement Shares, related Warrants and the rights to the Adjustment
Shares, if any, and receive a refund of their purchase price of
$1,220,000 plus interest or (ii) if the Private Placement Shares,
related Warrants and the rights to the Adjustment Shares, if any,
are sold, sue for the difference between the purchase price of
$1,220,000 and the sales price of these securities. Accordingly,
$1,220,000 of the proceeds from the Private Placement has been
classified in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 30, 1998 as
"Temporary Stockholders Equity" and such classification will
continue until the expiration of the rescission rights.

As of September 1, 1998, all of the Convertible Debentures and
Warrants remained, issued and outstanding.
The Company has charged to operations for the years ending June 30,
1998 and 1997, $160,157 and $1,422,813 of imputed interest expense
on convertible debentures, which represents the discount on
conversion of each of the above convertible debentures.
Note 11 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The estimated fair value of the Company's convertible debt as of June
30, 1998 is as follows:
Carrying Fair
Amount Value
---------------- ----------------
Convertible debt $ 1,125,000 $ 1,125,000
The estimated fair value of the Company's convertible debt as of June
30, 1997 is as follows:
Carrying Fair
Amount Value
---------------- ----------------
Convertible debt $ 2,741,296 $ 2,928,796
The estimated fair value amount has been determined using available market
information or other appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable
judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop estimates of fair
value, so the estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amount that could
be realized or would be paid in a current market exchange. The effect of using
different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may be material to
the estimated fair value amounts.
The fair value of the Company's other financial instruments approximates
their carrying amounts.

Note 12 - Stockholders' Equity:
A. Stock Option Plan:
On November 10, 1993, the Company adopted a Stock Option Plan. The Plan
is administered and terms of option grants are established by the Board
of Directors. Under the terms of the Plan, options to purchase 1,000,000
shares of common stock may be granted to key employees. Options become
exercisable as determined by the Board of Directors and expire over
terms not exceeding employment, six months after death or one year in
the case of permanent disability of the option holder. The option price
for all shares granted under the Plan is equal to the fair market value
of the common stock at the date of grant, as determined by the Board of
Directors, except in the case of a ten percent shareholder where the
option price shall not be less than 110% of the fair market value at the
date of grant.
The following information relates to shares under option and shares
available for grant under the Plan:

C. Pro forma Information:
Pro forma information regarding net earnings and earnings per share,
as required by SFAS No. 123, has been determined as if the Company
had accounted for its employee stock options under the fair-value
method. The fair value for these options was estimated at the date
of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the
following weighted average assumptions for fiscal 1998 and 1997:
risk-free interest rate of 6.40% and 5.57%; dividend yield -0-;
volatility fact related to the expected market price of the
Company's common stock of .35; and weighted-average expected option
life of 3.3 and 2.0 years. The weighted-average fair value of
options granted during fiscal 1998 and 1997 were $1.76 and $1.84,
respectively. The Company's pro forma information follows:

the financial statements. It is our responsibility to form an independent
opinion, based on our audit, on those financial statements and to report our
opinion to you.
Basis Of Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Auditing Standards issued by the
Auditing Practices Board. An audit includes examination, on a test basis, of
evidence relevant to the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. It
also includes an assessment of the significant estimates and judgements made by
the directors in the preparation of the financial statements, and of whether the
accounting polices are appropriate to the company's circumstances, consistently
applied and adequately disclosed.
We planned and performed our audit so as to obtain all the information and
explanations which we considered necessary in order to provide us with
sufficient evidence to give reasonable assurance that the financial statements
are free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or other
irregularity or error. In forming our opinion we also evaluated the overall
adequacy of the presentation of information in the financial statements.
Going concern
In forming our opinion we have considered the adequacy of the disclosures made

statements have been prepared. The financial statements have been prepared on a
going concern basis. We considered that this matter should be drawn to your
attention but our opinion is not qualified in this respect.

AUDITORS REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF MARKCARE MEDICAL SYSTEMS, LTD.
We have audited the financial statements. [for the year ended June 30, 1997].
Respective responsibilities of directors and auditors
As described [ ] the company's directors are responsible for the preparation of
the financial statements. It is our responsibility to form and independent
opinion, based on our audit, on those statements and to report our opinion to
you.
Basis of opinion
We conducted our audit, in accordance with Auditing Standards issued by the
Auditing Practice Board. An audit includes examination, on a test basis, of
evidence relevant to the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. It
also includes an assessment of the significant estimates and judgements made by
the directors in the preparation of the financial statements, and of whether the
accounting policies are appropriate to the company's circumstances, consistently
applied and adequately disclosed.
We planned and performed our audit, as to obtain all the information and
explanations which we considered necessary in order to provide us with
sufficient evidence to give reasonable assurance that the financial statements
are free from material misstatements, whether caused by fraud or other
irregularity or error. In forming our opinion we also evaluated the overall
adequacy of the presentation of information in the financial statements.
Fundamental Uncertainty
These accounts have been prepared under the going concern accounting policy.
This is on the basis that the holding company and the directors will continue to
provide sufficient finance to enable the company to meet its liabilities. The
balance sheet position at June 30, 1997, is insolvent by L 340,319. As stated in
the financial statements amounts owned to the holding company and a company
owned by a director total L 324,476. The company is therefore reliant on the
holding company and directors support in order to continue trading. Our opinion
is not qualified in this respect.
US GAAP and US GAAS
With respect to the information disclosed in the financial statements, we are
not aware of any material differences between UK Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles and US Generally Accepted Accounting Principles or between UK
Auditing Standards and US Generally Accepted Auditing Standards.
