RYKA INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of RYKA Inc.
("RYKA"(R) or the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and in
accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X.
Accordingly, they do not include all information and footnotes required by
generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
The accompanying financial information is unaudited; however, in the opinion of
Management, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring accruals)
necessary for a fair presentation of the operating results of the periods
reported have been included. The results of operations for the periods reported
are not necessarily indicative of those that may be expected for a full year.
This quarterly report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Audited
Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 1995 as presented in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The Company's financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 have
been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the realization of
assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of
business. The Company has incurred significant recurring losses since its
inception and had an accumulated deficit at March 31, 1996 of $18,113,593. The
Company was involved in several significant transactions during 1995, which
included the sale of securities, a change in key management, the establishment
of a new loan and security agreement with a bank, the settlement of debts with
secured and unsecured creditors and moving the Company's principal offices.
Without the occurrence of these transactions or other strategic arrangements,
there was substantial doubt that the Company would have been able to remain in
business through the third quarter of 1995. Having accomplished such
transactions, management plans to develop and acquire new merchandise, market
and promote the Company's product and expand the workforce in support of the
Company's current plans. To accomplish these goals, the Company will have to
incur substantial expenditures and expects to incur continuing operating losses
during 1996. The Company's working capital at March 31, 1996 will not be
sufficient to meet management's objectives in 1996.
Additionally, the Company was in violation of certain financial covenants
required by the loan and security agreement with the Company's principal lender
at March 31, 1996, although a waiver of these defaults was obtained from the
lender through May 31, 1996. Defaults had existed at December 31, 1995 and
previous waivers had been obtained. Based on the covenant violations covered by
the waiver, it is unlikely that the violations will be cured by May 31, 1996.
Accordingly, unless an additional waiver is obtained, the availability of these
funds is uncertain. The Company's goals were to be funded, in part, through the
financing facility provided by the Company's principal lender. Management is
currently in discussions with another lender to pursue other financing on terms
acceptable to the Company. Based on current discussions with another lender the
Company believes it possible for alternate financing to be obtained although 1)
no definitive agreement has been reached to date, 2) additional equity or
subordinated debt funding would be required as a prerequisite to such lender
financing and 3) there is no assurance that the equity or subordinated debt
funding will be obtained or that the new loan will be finalized. In connection
with the foregoing, and the Company's requirements from time to time, management
plans the sale of additional equity securities and/or the issuance of
subordinated notes in order to generate sufficient capital resources to assure
continuation of the Company's operations. Management recognizes that the Company
must obtain these or similar additional resources or consider modifications to
its operating plans including reductions in operating costs to enable it to
continue operations. However, no assurance can be given that the Company will be
successful in raising additional capital to support future operations. Further,
there can be no assurance, assuming the Company successfully raises additional
funds and is able to utilize its existing credit facility or establish a new
facility that the Company will achieve profitability or a positive cash flow.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible
future effect on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts
and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of these
uncertainties.
Net loss per share is based on the weighted average number of Common Stock and
dilutive Common Stock equivalents outstanding during the period. Common stock
equivalents are comprised, when dilutive, of stock options and Common Stock
warrants.

NOTE B - RESTATEMENT OF PRIOR QUARTERS
The Company has restated certain revenues and expenses related to the
recognition of revenue and related expenses for the first quarter of 1996. This
restatement was required due to an error by the Company in following the
Company's procedures relating to cut-off of revenues and expenses at Quarter
ends. Accordingly certain revenues and expenses were previously reported in
incorrect periods. In conjunction with this restatement, the Statement of
Operations for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 presented herein reflect the
cumulative effect of the restatement for the first two quarters of 1996. The
Company will file Form 10Q-A for these quarters.

</TABLE>
NOTE C - DEBT
The Company has a $4,000,000 asset based revolving credit facility with its
principal lender. The facility makes funds available to the Company based upon a
percentage of inventory and accounts receivable, as defined in the agreement.
Interest on the amounts outstanding is paid monthly at the rate of prime plus
one percent and is due on demand. As of March 31, 1996, the Company owed
$1,237,000 under this facility. Interest expense in connection with this
facility was $5,614 for the three months ended March 31, 1996.
The loan and security agreement with the Company's principal lender requires the
Company to observe certain covenants and maintain certain minimum levels of
tangible net worth and leverage. Further, there is a requirement for additional
subordinated loans or equity infusions in the event that losses occur subsequent
to July 31, 1995 which would cause capital funds to decrease below $2,000,000,
as defined. Such $2,000,000 minimum required the infusion of additional equity
or subordinated loans of approximately $1,600,000 by March 31, 1996, and, as
described below, such infusion had not been made.
At March 31, 1996, the Company was in default of certain provisions of the loan
and security agreement requiring certain credit insurance to be obtained within
prescribed timeframes, losses incurred by the Company subsequent to July 31,
1995 to be funded by MR Acquisitions L.L.C. ("MR") making subordinated loans or
capital infusions, or causing the same to occur (the "Funding Requirement"), and
the covenants requiring establishment and maintenance of certain minimum
tangible net worth and leverage.
The principal lender has waived the defaults, extended the time for the credit
insurance to be obtained and postponed the Funding Requirement, minimum tangible
net worth and leverage requirements through May 31, 1996.
NOTE D - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company conducts its operations and warehouses inventory in a facility
subleased from an affiliate of MR. Terms of the sublease require rental payments
of approximately $4,000 per month for use of these facilities and the
warehousing through July 31, 1997. Any other cost related to the use of the
joint facility or for other services provided by MR or its affiliates will be
charged to the Company on an arms length basis and will be subject to approval
by a special disinterested committee of the Board of Directors.
KPR Sports International, Inc. ("KPR"), an affiliate of MR, has advanced certain
funds to the Company on a temporary basis. Such amounts are included in the
balance sheet under current liabilities as due to affiliate.
MR, through KPR, continues to make available to the Company a letter of credit
facility in the amount of $2,000,000. This facility is used by the Company to
finance the purchase of manufactured inventory with overseas vendors. At March
31, 1996, letters of credit in the amount of $134,374 were issued by KPR on
behalf of the Company. Merchandise inventory received under the terms of the
facility is recorded in the financial statements upon transfer of title to the
Company which, generally, occurs upon payment to KPR.
Included in the statement of operations are sales of $149,886 relating to
footwear sold to KPR yielding a profit of $31,621 to the Company. These goods
were prior season's merchandise which was sold at negotiated terms on an arms-
length basis.
The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company devotes a portion of his
time to the Company's operations and marketing and sales related activities for
which he does not receive any compensation. The value of these services for the
three months ended March 31, 1996, estimated at $25,000, was recorded as
compensation expense and included as part of general and administrative expenses
in the statement of operations and as a contribution to capital and included as
additional paid-in capital in the balance sheet.

NOTE E - EQUITY TRANSACTION, STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS
Equity transaction - Investors:
The Company offered for sale, through a private placement, 4,000,000 shares of
Common Stock during the third quarter to 1995 and the results of the private
placement were as follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>

</TABLE>
As a condition of the private placement, in the event the Company is unable to
register such securities with the Securities and Exchange Commission in a
filing which is effective within 120 days of the actual Closing (by November
28, 1995), the Company will be required to remit to the investors $7,500 and
warrants to purchase 40,000 shares for each month such registration statement
does not become effective, up to a maximum reduction in stock proceeds of
$150,000 and additional issuance of 400,000 shares of Common Stock. The
registration was not accomplished within the 120 day period, however, waivers
have been received from the participants in the private placement through March
31, 1996 related to the provisions requiring a $7,500 per month remittance. One
of the remaining participants was issued warrants. Accordingly, at March 31,
1996 and December 31, 1995 $150,000 of the proceeds have been classified as
temporary equity.

<PAGE>
NOTE E - EQUITY TRANSACTION, STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS - CONTINUED
Equity transaction - Investors - continued:
With respect to the warrants, pursuant to the specific private placement terms,
through March 31, 1996, 80,000 warrants are to be issued to investors with an
exercise price of $.25 and exercisable 10 years after the date of issue.
From the date of closing on July 31, 1995 until completion of the private
placement, the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer provided a
subordinated bridge loan to the Company. This loan is evidenced by a promissory
note bearing no interest and is due upon receipt by the Company of the proceeds
of the private placement. At December 31, 1995, a total of $120,000 remained
outstanding on such loan. This amount has been recorded as Bridge Loan Payable
on the Balance Sheet at December 31, 1995. As of December 31, 1995, a total of
480,000 shares were yet to be sold to investors. At March 31, 1996, the
remaining 480,000 shares were sold and the bridge loan repaid with the proceeds.
Originally, in the event the private placement was not completed by August 26,
1995, such bridge loan was to be converted to equity based on the same terms as
the private placement, with the exception of the provisions causing a contingent
reduction in stock proceeds, as described above. The conversion date was
subsequently extended until March 31, 1996.
Stock Options:
Pursuant to option grant letters, the Company has issued options to certain
employees to purchase shares of the Company's common stock at prices which
approximated fair market value at the date of grant. The options vest at various
times over periods ranging up to four years and generally must be exercised
within 10 years from the date of grant. A summary of such options granted in the
first quarter of 1996 is as follows:

NOTE F - REGISTRATION STATEMENT - EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN
During January 1996, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the filing
of a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the
offering of approximately 4.2 million shares of Common Stock.
The shares will be issued pursuant to the "Partners Share Success" Equity
Incentive Plan to be adopted by the Company. The purpose of the Program is to
provide an ownership interest in the Company, through equity incentives, to
retail sales personnel and store management personnel of the Company's customers
to educate consumers about the Company's products and to increase the sale of
the Company's products to consumers.
Under the Program, the Company currently intends to grant retail sales personnel
one share of the Company common stock for each pair of Company footwear sold and
to grant store management personnel approximately 4 shares of Company common
stock for every 10 pairs of Company footwear sold by retail sales personnel
under their supervision. The Company currently expects that the Program will
remain in effect through the Spring of 2000.
The Program will be available to retail sales personnel of customers of the
Company who agree to participate in the Program and to purchase certain minimum
quantities of Company's products.

<PAGE>
NOTE F - REGISTRATION STATEMENT - EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN - CONTINUED
The Company anticipates that awards of common stock pursuant to the Program will
be accounted for as sales and marketing expense using the fair value of the
equity instrument issued or other consideration, as applicable.
Included in deferred registration costs at March 31, 1996 are approximately
$40,000 in professional fees incurred in conjunction with the contemplated
registration statement. All costs will be charged to sales and marketing expense
during the term of the Program. If the offering is not consummated, the deferred
registration costs will be charged to expense.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
The information contained in this form 10-Q contains forward looking statements
(as such term is defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the
regulations thereunder), including without limitation, statements as to the
Company's financial condition, results of operations and liquidity and capital
resources and statements as to management's beliefs, expectations or options.
Such forward looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties and may
be affected by various factors which may cause actual results to differ
materially from those in the forward looking statements. Certain of these risks,
uncertainties and other factors, as and when applicable, are discussed in the
Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its
most recent Form 10-K, a copy of which may be obtained from the Company upon
request and without charge (except for the exhibits thereto).
GENERAL OVERVIEW
The Company has not had a single profitable fiscal year since its inception and
incurred a loss of approximately $230,000 during the quarter ended March 31,
1996. In addition, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately
$18,114,000 and a stockholders' deficiency of approximately $460,000 at March
31, 1996.
Through July 31, 1995, the Company was in default on several occasions under its
agreements with Pro-Specs America Corporation ("Pro-Specs") to provide
production financing. In May 1995, Pro-Specs notified the Company of its
intention to terminate financing arrangements. During 1995, the Company reviewed
several financing proposals, and on July 31, 1995 the Company consummated the
financing arrangement with MR Acquisitions L.L.C. ("MR") to enable the Company
to continue in existence. Without this financing arrangement, management
believed there was substantial doubt that the Company would be able to remain in
business.
The financing arrangement (the "Agreement") with MR provided the Company with
cash proceeds from the sale of equity and subordinated debt and the ability to
obtain funds and letters of credit through new financing facilities. As part of
the financing, the Company negotiated substantial debt forgiveness with both
secured and unsecured creditors and established a new management team to operate
the restructured Company. Upon closing of the transaction with MR, the Company
had capital funds comprised of a net worth and subordinated debt in excess of
$1,500,000 as compared to an equity deficiency over $2,000,000 at June 30, 1995.
At March 31, 1996 capital funds have been reduced through operating losses to
approximately $400,000.
During the first half of 1995 and until the financing with MR was consummated,
staff reductions occurred on both a voluntary and involuntary basis and
temporary employees were required to handle daily operations. Sales efforts were
limited for a variety of reasons, including the inability to obtain product from
the Company's overseas production sources. Once the financing with MR was
consummated, new management began to reposition the Company by, among other
things, relocating the Company from Norwood, Massachusetts to King of Prussia,
Pennsylvania, terminating remaining employees in the Massachusetts location,
hiring and training new employees in key management positions, including a new
President and a new Chief Financial Officer, filling of other necessary
positions within the Company, and beginning to develop new products and build or
rebuild customer and supplier relationships. While management believes that
these activities will have a long-term beneficial impact, they had significant
negative impact on the Company's sales and operations. As a result, the Company
is unlikely to generate positive operating results in the near future. To
accomplish its goals, to develop and acquire new merchandise, market and promote
the Company's product and expand the workforce in support of the Company's
current plans, the Company will have to incur substantial expenditures and
expects to incur continuing operating losses during 1996. The Company's working
capital at March 31, 1996 will not be sufficient to meet management's objectives
in 1996. Accordingly, the Company will be required to obtain additional
financing from its current lender or from a new lender and/or raise additional
funds through the sale of equity or debt. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources"
and Notes A and C to the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

NET SALES decreased by $2,398,296 (58.0%) from $4,134,650 for the three months
ended March 31, 1995 to $1,736,354 for the three months ended March 31, 1996.
The decrease in net sales was due primarily to several factors as follows:
. The Company purchased a limited quantity of spring merchandise for shipment in
the first quarter of 1996. This merchandise was designed by L.A. Gear
designers. Current management made a conscious decision to minimize the
purchase for spring and commit additional resources towards developing a more
performance based line with updated cosmetics to better meet the needs of the
marketplace for the fall 1996 product line.
. As a result of the failed merger with L.A. Gear and the resulting critical
cash shortage during the first quarter of 1995, the Company was forced to
liquidate a large quantity of inventory at low profit margins, or even below
cost, in an effort to raise cash to meet operating expenses.
. The athletic footwear industry continues to experience sluggishness and the
volume of off-price product has continued at high levels. At the same time,
the retail industry has just experienced poor results for the holiday season.
. The women's athletic footwear category has become increasingly competitive
with large vendors with considerably more resources than the Company
increasing their focus in this segment of the market.
OTHER REVENUES of $29,263 for the three months ended March 31, 1995 is comprised
of royalty income resulting from international distributors purchasing the
Company's products directly from its vendors. For the three months ended March
31, 1996 all income from international business was reported in the statement of
operations as sales and cost of goods sold in as much as the Company directly
sold any such merchandise to its international distributors.

COST OF GOODS SOLD decreased by $2,805,338 (70.6%) from $3,975,778 for the three
months ended March 31, 1995 to $1,170,440 for the three months ended March 31,
1996. The overall gross profit expressed as a percentage of net sales increased
from 3.8% for the quarter ended March 31, 1995 to 32.6% for the quarter ended
March 31, 1996.
During the quarter ended March 31, 1996 approximately seventy-five percent of
sales represented spring sales at full margins.
Cost of sales for the quarter ended March 31, 1995 includes a write-down of
inventory to the lower of cost or market of $526,000. As discussed in net sales
above, in the quarter ended March 31, 1995, as a result of the extreme financial
pressures, the Company was required to sell substantial amounts of inventory at
little or no profit to raise cash for operations. This adversely affected the
gross profit for the quarter ended March 31, 1995.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES decreased by $476,359 (78.2%) from $608,938
for the quarter ended March 31, 1995 to $132,579 for the quarter ended March 31,
1996. The decrease reflects a concerted effort to restructure the Company in a
cost efficient manner with reduced overhead expenses. This decrease was due
primarily to:
. The elimination of approximately $150,000 of credit and collection expenses
incurred in the quarter ended March 31, 1995 of which approximately $50,000
related to costs associated with collection fees and commissions in connection
with a previously existing factoring agreement with Heller Financial. The
remaining amount represents a decrease of approximately $100,000 in additional
bad debt expense during the quarter ended March 31, 1995, compared with the
quarter ended March 31, 1996.
. Additional legal, consulting and auditing costs aggregating to approximately
$165,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 1995, were incurred in completing the
December 31, 1994 financial statements and in filing the Annual Report and
Form 10-K.
. Other general and administrative expenses in the quarter ended March 31, 1995
included approximately $40,000 in legal fees incurred in connection with a
failed attempt to raise capital from investors.
. Reduction in administrative staffing levels amounting to approximately
$40,000.
SALES AND MARKETING EXPENSES decreased by $392,041 (49.3%) from $795,914 in the
quarter ended March 31, 1995 to $403,873 in the quarter ended March 31, 1996.
This decrease was due primarily to:
. A decrease in sales representatives commission expense of approximately
$113,000. The decrease in commissions is due to decreased sales and a decrease
in the effective rate paid to outside sales representatives:

. Reduction in promotion expense of approximately $206,000 is due to a reduction
in customers marketing allowances.
. Decrease in salary and related expenses of $26,384 (21.1%) from $124,890 in
the quarter ended March 31, 1995 to $98,506 for the quarter ended March 31,
1996.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT expenses increased $94,835 (83.5%) from $113,572 in the
quarter ended March 31, 1995 to $208,407 in the quarter ended March 31, 1996.
The increase reflects a concerted effort by management to further develop and
improve the Company's products. The increase is primarily due to:
. An increase of approximately $72,000 in salaries and consulting fees. During
the quarter ended March 31, 1996, at a cost of approximately $125,000, the
Company engaged the services of two outside design groups to design and
develop the fall 1996 line. In addition, the former VP of Sourcing and
Production and one other person were retained on a consulting basis to oversee
the manufacturing process.
SPECIAL CHARGES consists of relocation and temporary living costs.
OTHER EXPENSES, NET decreased $881,647 (96.9%) from $910,039 in the quarter
ended March 31, 1995 to $28,392 in the quarter ended March 31, 1996. The
decrease is primarily due to:
. The write-off of approximately $683,000 in costs associated with the
termination of the Agreement and Plan of Merger with L.A. Gear, Inc. in the
first quarter of 1995.
. Interest expense decreased by $199,025 (87.4%) from $227,779 for the three
months ended March 31, 1995 to 28,754 for the quarter ended March 31, 1996.
This decrease is a result of additional funds infused into the Company on July
31, 1995 as equity as well as reduced requirements for borrowings and
substantially reduced interest rates on borrowing. In connection with this
transaction with MR, the Company established a line of credit with a bank
providing the Company with financing at prime plus one percent. Previously the
agreement with Pro-Specs provided for inventory financing at effective
interest rates in excess of 20%.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Through July 31, 1995, RYKA continued to experience a critical shortage of cash.
On July 31, 1995, the Company consummated a financing agreement with MR,
pursuant to which MR provided or arranged to provide the Company with up to
$8,000,000 of new financing in the form of (i) a $1,000,000 equity and
subordinated debt investment by MR and KPR, an affiliate of MR, (ii) a
$2,000,000 letter of credit facility from KPR, (iii) a $4,000,000 revolving
credit facility with a bank, and (iv) a $1,000,000 equity investment through the
private placement of Common Stock with certain investors. Prior to consummating
the Agreement with MR on July 31, 1995, the Company had a nominal cash balance
and a working capital deficiency of approximately $2,300,000. Without this
financing, management believed there was a substantial doubt that the Company
would be able to remain in business.
As a result of consumating the Agreement with MR on July 31, 1995, the Company
received proceeds from the sale of Common Stock and warrants and proceeds from
subordinated notes payable, aggregating approximately $1,750,000 net of
transaction related costs. Additionally, secured and unsecured creditors forgave
certain debt resulting in a gain of approximately $1,650,000. The Company
established a new $4,000,000 asset based revolving credit facility with a bank
and established a $2,000,000 letter of credit facility with an affiliate of MR.
Both the bank facility and the letter of credit facility provide for rates which
are more competitive in today's lending environment. Interest on the bank loans
are at the prime rate plus 1% and letters of credit, prior to draw, are provided
at a rate of 1% of the sum of the face amount plus any underlying bank fees and
opening charges (approximately an additional 1-1/2% to 2% per annum).
The bank credit facility includes certain restrictive covenants which, among
other things, require the Company to maintain certain financial ratios and
capital funds (tangible stockholders' equity and subordinated notes payable) of
$2,000,000 by August 30, 1995. The bank credit facility also requires MR or its
affiliates to make additional loans or otherwise cause capital funds of the
Company to be maintained at no less than $2,000,000. These provisions
effectively require the Company to raise capital through equity offerings,
proceeds from the exercise of stock options or warrants or through additional
subordinated borrowings or from MR or its affiliates, to finance any operating
losses.

<PAGE>
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES - CONTINUED
The Agreement and financing resulted in an increase in working capital of
approximately $3,600,000, so that the Company's working capital deficiency of
approximately $2,300,000 was converted to positive working capital of
approximately $1,300,000 at July 31, 1995. At March 31, 1996 the Company's
working capital was approximately $319,368 and will not be sufficient to meet
management's objectives in 1996. The Company does not anticipate making
significant capital expenditures during the foreseeable future. In addition, the
Company plans the sale of additional equity securities and/or the issuance of
subordinated notes, in order to generate sufficient capital resources to assure
continuation of the Company's operations. The Company must obtain these or
similar additional resources or consider modifications to its operating plans
including reductions in operating costs to enable it to continue operations.
However, no assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in
raising additional capital to support future operations. Further, there can be
no assurance, assuming the Company successfully raises additional funds and is
able to utilize its existing credit facility or establish a new facility that
the Company will achieve profitability or a positive cash flow.
As of March 31, 1996 and as stated previously, the Company was in default of
certain financial covenants required by the loan agreement with its bank,
although the Company's bank has waived such defaults in the past and most
recently through May 31, 1996. As of December 31, 1995, no amounts were
outstanding under the bank facility, although as of March 31, 1996, there was
$1,237,000 outstanding under this facility. Further, in connection with
production of the Company's Fall 1996 line, additional financing and letters of
credit will be required during the second and third quarters of 1996. In order
for the Company to fund its operating plans, the Company must either renegotiate
the terms of the financing facility provided by the Company's bank, obtain
additional waivers of defaults past May 31, 1996 or cure such defaults, or
arrange a new facility suitable to the Company's needs with a different lender.
The Company has negotiated a credit facility with a new lender to replace its
existing facility, which new facility requiring this Company to raise an
additional $2,000,000 in equity as a condition to obtaining such facility. The
Company is currently in the process of raising $2,000,000 in equity to satisfy
this requirement. In addition, the Company may be required to raise additional
funds to support the Company's operations through the sale of additional equity
securities and/or the issuance of subordinated notes. The Company must obtain
these or similar additional resources or consider modifications to its operating
plans, including reductions in operating costs to enable it to continue
operations. However, no assurance can be given that the Company will be
successful in raising additional capital to support future operations. Further,
there can be no assurance, assuming the Company successfully raises additional
funds and is able to use its existing credit facility or establish a new
facility that the Company will achieve profitability or a positive cash flow.
