                        Report of Independent Auditors


Board of Directors
Shelby Life Insurance Company


We  have  audited  the  accompanying  balance  sheets  of Shelby Life Insurance
Company  as  of  December  31,  1995  and 1994, and the related  statements  of
operations, stockholder's equity, and cash  flows  for  the  years  then ended.
These  financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
on our audits.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable  assurance  about  whether  the  financial  statements  are  free of
material  misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and  disclosures  in  the financial statements. An audit
also  includes  assessing  the  accounting  principles   used  and  significant
estimates  made  by  management,  as  well as evaluating the overall  financial
statement presentation. We believe that  our  audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred  to  above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Shelby  Life Insurance Company
at December 31, 1995 and 1994 and the results of its operations  and  its  cash
flows for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

Shelby  Life  Insurance  Company  (the Company) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Delta Life and Annuity Company (Delta).   Delta,  a Tennessee corporation, is a
wholly-owned   subsidiary   of  Delta  Life  Corporation  (DLC),   a   Delaware
corporation.

During 1995, the Company received  approval  for  redomestication to Tennessee.
Accordingly, the Company is chartered and licensed  in  the  State of Tennessee
and  is  licensed  in  various  other  states.  Prior to 1995, the Company  was
chartered  and  licensed in the State of Ohio  as  The  Shelby  Life  Insurance
Company of Shelby, Ohio.

The  Company  markets  individual  life  insurance,  annuities  and  investment
products to its  policyholders,  primarily  in  the  eastern half of the United
States.  Its products are distributed through independent agents and brokers.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying financial statements of the Company are  prepared on the basis
of generally accepted accounting principles.  Such accounting principles differ
from statutory reporting practices used by insurance companies  in reporting to
state authorities.

The  preparation  of  financial statements requires management to make  various
estimates that affect the  reported  amounts  of  assets  and  liabilities  and
disclosures  of  contingent  assets  and  liabilities,  as well as the reported
amounts  of  revenues  and  expenses.  Actual results could differ  from  those
estimates.

Effective December 31, 1993,  Delta  acquired  all  of  the common stock of the
Company for $14.8 million in cash.  The fair value of the  assets  acquired was
$123,392  and liabilities assumed totaled $107,843.  The acquisition  has  been
accounted for  under  the  purchase  method  and  accordingly  the  assets  and
liabilities  of  the  Company  were recorded at their respective fair values at
December 31, 1993.  During 1994,  Delta  incurred additional amounts associated
with the acquisition totaling $302.

2.     SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

INVESTMENTS

During 1994, the Company adopted Statement  of  Financial  Accounting Standards
No. 115 (SFAS No. 115), "ACCOUNTING FOR CERTAIN INVESTMENTS  IN DEBT AND EQUITY
SECURITIES".  The adoption of SFAS No. 115 had no material impact.   Under SFAS
No. 115 the Company's investments have been classified as held-to-maturity  and
available-for-sale.   Securities  classified into the held-to-maturity category
are accounted for at cost, adjusted  for amortization of premiums and discounts
and, when necessary, declines in value  considered  to be other than temporary.
It is management's intention to hold securities classified  as held-to-maturity
under all reasonably foreseeable conditions.  Securities in the  available-for-
sale  category  are carried at market value, with changes in the market  value,
after adjustment  for  deferred  federal  income  taxes, being accounted for as
changes in stockholder's equity and, accordingly, have no effect on net income.
The Company has no trading account securities.

Mortgage  backed  securities  are  issued, secured or guaranteed  by  the  U.S.
Government,  government  agencies  or  instrumentalities.    Policy  loans  are
recorded at cost.  As policy loans have no stated maturity and are often repaid
by  account  withdrawals  or surrenders, it is not practical to estimate  their
fair values.

The Company purchases U.S.  Government  securities  under  agreement  to resell
within  one to five days.  Due to the short-term nature of the agreements,  the
Company does  not  take  possession  of  such  securities.   Reverse repurchase
agreements  are  included  in  other  investments  at  cost  and  amounted   to
approximately $2,370 at December 31, 1995, which approximate fair value.

Net  realized  investment  gains  and losses were determined using the specific
identification method.

CASH EQUIVALENTS

The Company considers all highly liquid  debt  instruments,  other than reverse
repurchase agreements, purchased with a remaining maturity of  three  months or
less to be cash equivalents.

DEFERRED POLICY ACQUISITION COSTS

Policy  acquisition costs (principally commissions incurred at policy issuance,
premium taxes  and  certain  sales, issue and underwriting expenses) associated
with new annuity and life business  are  deferred  when incurred.  The deferred
costs  related  to traditional life insurance are amortized  over  the  premium
payment period using  assumptions  consistent  with  those  used  in estimating
reserves.  Deferred costs related to annuities and interest sensitive  products
accrue interest and are amortized at a constant rate based on the present value
of  the  estimated  gross profits expected to be realized over the life of  the
contracts.  Estimates  of  expected gross profit are evaluated periodically and
the total amortization recorded  to  date  is adjusted by a charge or credit to
current  amortization  if actual experience or  other  evidence  suggests  that
earlier estimates should be revised.

2.     SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

PRESENT VALUE OF FUTURE PROFITS

The present value of future  profits (PVFP) represents the present value of the
anticipated annual gross profits  of the business in force on December 31, 1993
(the date Delta acquired the Company),  net  of purchase accounting adjustments
for investments.  The PVFP is being amortized  on  a  constant yield basis over
the  estimated  life  of  the   insurance in force business  in  proportion  to
estimated gross profits for the deferred  annuities and universal life business
and estimates of future premiums for the traditional  life business.  Estimates
of expected gross profit are evaluated periodically, and the total amortization
recorded to date is adjusted by a charge or credit to current  amortization  if
actual  experience  or other evidence suggests that earlier estimates should be
revised.   The  portion   of  PVFP  attributable  to  the  purchase  accounting
adjustments for investments  at  the  purchase date is being amortized over the
average  remaining  term  of  the investments  purchased  and  is  included  in
investment income.

REVENUE AND POLICY LIABILITIES

Premiums received on annuity and  life  deposits  are recorded as deposits into
the  policyholder's  account  balance.   Revenue  related  to  these  contracts
consists  of  earnings  from  the invested deposits and  applicable  mortality,
withdrawal  and  administrative  charges.    These   deposits  consist  of  the
policyholders' account balances plus amounts deposited by the policyholders and
interest  credited  to  the  policy, less withdrawals by the  policyholder  and
sales, mortality and administrative charges deducted by the Company.

Policy  liabilities  are computed  using  the  net  level  premium  method  and
assumptions as to investment  yields,  mortality  and  expenses  at the date of
issue.  Assumed investment yields are based on interest rates ranging from 6.5%
to  7.5%.   Mortality  is based upon various actuarial tables, principally  the
1965-1970  Select and Ultimate  Table.   Withdrawals  are  based  upon  Company
experience and range from 5% to 20% per year.

REINSURANCE

Premiums and  benefits  and  claims  are  recorded  net  of  reinsurance ceded.
Reinsurance  premiums,  benefits  and  claims  are  accounted  for on  a  basis
consistent with those used in accounting for the original policies  issued  and
the terms of the reinsurance contracts.

FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

Deferred  tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax
consequences  of events that are determined based on the difference between the
financial statement  and  tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax
rates in effect for the year  in which the differences are expected to reverse.
Valuation allowances are established  when  necessary  to  reduce  deferred tax
assets to the amount expected to be realized.

OTHER INCOME

Other  income  is comprised generally of commissions and expense allowances  on
reinsurance ceded and is recorded as earned.

3.     INVESTMENTS (CONTINUED):


During  December  1995,  and  in accordance with the provisions allowed by  the
Financial  Accounting  Standards   Boards,   SPECIAL   REPORT   -  A  GUIDE  TO
IMPLEMENTATION OF STATEMENT 115 ON ACCOUNTING FOR CERTAIN INVESTMENTS  IN  DEBT
AND  EQUITY  SECURITIES,  the  Company  reclassified  approximately  $48,000 of
investments,   originally  purchased  and  classified  as  held-to-maturity  to
available-for-sale recording a net unrealized loss of approximately $91.

The amortized cost  and  estimated  fair  value  of  fixed  maturity securities
available-for-sale  and held-to-maturity at December 31, 1995,  by  contractual
maturity, are shown below.   Expected  maturities  will differ from contractual
maturities because borrowers may have the right to prepay  obligations  with or
without prepayment penalties.

4.     PRESENT VALUE OF FUTURE PROFITS

As  a  result  of the acquisition of the Company on December 31, 1993 by Delta,
the Company established an asset for the present value of future profits (PVFP)
of insurance purchased utilizing a 15% discount rate.

Progressions of  the PVFP for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 are as
follows:

</TABLE>

The estimated amount  of  PVFP  as  of  December  31,  1995,  based  on current
assumptions  as  to  future  events  on all policies in force,  expected to  be
amortized during each of the next five years is as follows:

</TABLE>

Management believes that realization of the above deferred tax  assets  is more
likely  than  not  primarily  due to the reversal of existing taxable temporary
differences and earnings history.   Consequently,  no  valuation  allowance was
deemed necessary.

During  1995,  the  Company  paid cash and received refunds for federal  income
taxes of $415 and $114, respectively.   During  1994, the Company paid cash for
federal income taxes of $428.

6. REINSURANCE

In  the  ordinary course of business, the Company cedes  reinsurance  to  other
insurers under  various contracts that cover individual risks or entire classes
of business.  These  arrangements  limit  the risk arising from large policies.
The  Company retains a maximum of $100,000 of  coverage  per  individual  life.
Reinsurance  contracts  do  not  relieve  the  Company  from  its obligation to
policyholders.  A contingent liability exists for reinsurance ceded which would
become a liability of the Company in the event that any reinsurer  is unable to
meet its obligations under the reinsurance agreements.

As  of December 31, 1995 and 1994 and for the years then ended, the approximate
impact  on  the financial statements due to all ceded reinsurance agreements in
force during the year was as follows:

7. FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The following  methods  and  assumptions  are  used  to estimate the fair value
disclosures for its financial instrument assets and liabilities  as of December
31, 1995 and 1994:

FIXED MATURITY SECURITIES

The  fair  value  of  fixed  maturity  securities  are determined primarily  by
reference to a pricing service or the dealer market.

ANNUITY AND LIFE DEPOSITS

The fair value of these contracts is estimated as the  policyholder's  net cash
surrender value which the policyholder may withdraw at their option.

The carrying value and fair value of these instruments is as follows:

8. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The  Company  is party to an agreement with DLC whereby DLC provides investment
advisory services  for  a  fee of 15 basis points per annum on invested assets.
This fee, which is charged to  net investment income, amounted to approximately
$151 and $162 in 1995 and 1994, respectively.

During  1994,  the  Company entered  into  a  management  agreement  with  DLC.
Pursuant to the agreement,  Delta  will  provide certain management services to
the Company for a fee of 75 basis points on statutory premiums received plus 10
basis points of the Company's net admitted  assets  at the end of each quarter.
However, no fees were charged under this agreement in 1995 or 1994.

Effective December 31, 1993, Delta entered into a service  agreement  with  the
former  parent  on  behalf  of  the  Company  whereby certain operations of the
Company would continue to be performed by the former  parent  for  period of up
to  twelve  months.  During 1995 and 1994, the Company paid approximately  $299
and $1,128, respectively,  as  reimbursement  fees  to  the former parent.  The
agreement was terminated April 17, 1995.

Various  operating expenses and costs are allocated to the  Company  by  Delta.
These amounts  are  reflected in the payable to parent balances at December 31,
1995 and 1994.

9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

GUARANTEED RATES

The Company assumes investment  risk on contracts it issues by guaranteeing the
principal value of policyholders'  accounts  plus a minimum interest rate.  The
guaranteed interest rates are set on the anniversary  date  of the contract and
range from 4% to 7% depending upon the particular contract form.

INVESTMENT PURCHASE COMMITMENTS

At   December   31,   1995,  the  Company  has  made  commitments  to  purchase
approximately $3,840 of mortgage backed securities at a rate of 6.5%.

GUARANTY FUND

Under insurance guaranty  fund  laws, in most states, insurance companies doing
business therein can be assessed  up  to  prescribed  limits  for  policyholder
losses  incurred  by  insolvent  companies.  The Company does not believe  such
assessments will be materially different  from  amounts already provided for in
the  financial statements.  Most of these laws do  provide,  however,  that  an
assessment  may  be  excused  or deferred if it would threaten an insurer's own
financial strength.

LITIGATION

A number of civil jury verdicts have been returned against life insurers in the
areas in which the Company does  business involving a variety of matters.  Some
of the lawsuits have resulted in substantial  judgments  and  punitive damages.
The  Company, like other life insurers, from time to time is involved  in  such
litigation.   To  date,  no  such  lawsuit  has  resulted  in  the award of any
significant amount of damages against the Company.  Although the outcome of any
litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company is not  aware of any
litigation that will have a material adverse effect on the Company's  financial
position, results of operations, or cash flows.

10.     STATUTORY ACCOUNTING INFORMATION

Financial  statements prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles differ  in  some  respects  from  the statutory accounting practices
prescribed or permitted by insurance regulatory authorities.

10.     STATUTORY ACCOUNTING INFORMATION (CONTINUED)

Stockholder's  equity  as determined in accordance  with  statutory  accounting
practices for the Company was $10,264 and $9,360 at December 31, 1995 and 1994,
respectively.  Statutory net income of the Company was $1,661 and $699 for 1995

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                       (Unaudited, Dollars in Thousands)

                              September 30, 1996

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

      The  accompanying  unaudited  financial statements have been prepared  in
accordance with generally accepted accounting  principles  ("GAAP") for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q  and Article 10 of
Regulation  S-X.   Accordingly, they do not include all of the information  and
footnotes required by  GAAP for complete financial statements.  Such principles
were applied on a basis  consistent  with  those  reflected  in the Shelby Life
Insurance  Company  (the  Company)  financial  statements  for  the year  ended
December 31, 1995.  However, certain reclassifications have been  made  in  the
1995 financial statements to conform with the 1996 presentation.

      The  results  of  operations for the interim periods shown in this report
are not necessarily indicative  of  the  results  that  may be expected for the
fiscal year.  This is particularly true in the life insurance  industry,  where
mortality  results  in interim periods can vary substantially from such results
over  a  longer period.     In  the  opinion  of  management,  the  information
contained  herein  reflects  all  adjustments  necessary to make the results of
operations for the interim periods a fair statement  of  such  operations.  All
such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

      The  preparation  of  financial  statements requires management  to  make
estimates  and  assumptions  that  affect amounts  reported  in  the  financial
statements and accompanying notes.  Such estimates and assumptions could change
in the future as more information becomes known, which could impact the amounts
reported and disclosed herein.

      For further information, refer  to the financial statements and footnotes
thereto included in the Company's financial  statements   for  the  year  ended
December 31, 1995.

2 . SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On  November  8,  1996,  Delta  Life  and Annuity Company ("Delta"), the parent
company of the the Company, closed on a  stock  purchase agreement for the sale
of  all  of  the  outstanding  common  stock of the Company  to  Standard  Life
Insurance Company of Indiana ("Standard  Life"),  a  wholly-owned subsidiary of
Standard Management Corporation, and the Company was merged into Standard Life.
Under  the  terms  of the agreement, the sales price is comprised  of  cash  of
$16,000, which includes  a  $3,000  extraordinary  dividend from the Company to
Delta,  and 250,000 shares of restricted common stock  of  Standard  Management
Corporation.

                        STANDARD MANAGEMENT CORPORATION
               UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS



   The following unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as of September 30,
1996 gives  effect to the acquisition of Shelby Life Insurance Company ("Shelby
Life") from Delta  Life  and  Annuity  Company  ("DLAC"),  and  its merger into
Standard  Life  Insurance  Company of Indiana ("Standard Life"), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Standard Management Corporation ("SMC"), as if it had occurred as
of  the  balance  sheet date.   The  following  unaudited  pro  forma  combined
statements of operations  for  the  year  ended  December 31, 1995 and the nine
months  ended  September  30, 1996, are presented as  if  the  transaction  had
occurred as of January 1, 1995.

   The unaudited pro forma  combined  financial  statements  do  not purport to
represent what SMC's balance sheet or results of operations actually would have
been had the merger of Shelby Life in fact occurred on the dates indicated,  or
to  project SMC's balance sheet or results of operations for any future date or
period.   The  unaudited pro forma combined financial statements should be read
in conjunction with  the accompanying notes thereto and the separate historical
financial statements of SMC and Shelby Life as of and for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996, and as of and for the year ended December 31, 1995.

   The pro forma adjustments are applied to the historical financial statements
of SMC and Shelby Life  to  account for the merger of Shelby Life into Standard
Life under the purchase method  of  accounting  in  accordance  with Accounting
Principles  Board  Opinion  No.  16  ("APB  No.16").   Under  this  method   of
accounting,  the total purchase cost has been allocated to Shelby Life's assets
and  liabilities   based  on  their  estimated  relative  fair  values.   These
allocations are subject  to  valuations as of the date of the transaction based
on appraisals and other studies, which are not yet completed.  Accordingly, the
final allocations will be different  from  the  amounts  reflected herein.  Any
purchase  price adjustments will be made within one year from  the  acquisition
date and are  not  expected  to be material to the unaudited pro forma combined
financial statements taken as  a  whole.   The  unaudited  pro  forma  combined
financial  statements,  however,  reflect  management's best estimate based  on
currently available information.

</TABLE>

   Adjustments to the pro forma combined balance sheet to give effect to the
purchase of Shelby Life as of September 30, 1996, are summarized below.

(1)   Held to maturity securities have been reclassified as available for sale
      securities at the purchase consistent with the intention of new
      management.

(2)   Shelby Life's fixed maturity securities held to maturity are restated to
      estimated fair value.

(3)   Amount is net proceeds from borrowings under the revolving line of credit
      agreement ("Amended Credit Agreement") and subordinated convertible debt
      and the payment made to DLAC for the purchase of Shelby Life.

(4)   Deferred policy acquisition costs of Shelby Life has been eliminated
      under purchase accounting.

(5)   Present value of future profits for business has been recorded from
      existing insurance acquired in association with the purchase of Shelby
      Life.  The 15 percent discount rate used to determine such value is the
      rate of return required by SMC to invest in the business being acquired.
      In determining such rate of return, the following factors are considered:

      <circle>The magnitude of the risks associated with each of the actuarial
         assumptions used in determining the expected cash flows.

      <circle>Cost of capital available to fund the acquisition.

      <circle>The perceived likelihood of changes in insurance regulations and
         tax laws.

      <circle>Complexity of the acquired company.

      <circle>Prices paid (i.e., discount rates used in determining valuations)
         on similar blocks of business sold recently.

      The value allocated to the cost of policies purchased is based on a
      preliminary valuation;  accordingly, this allocation may be adjusted upon
      final determination of such value.  Expected gross amortization of such
      value using current assumptions and accretion of interest based on an
      interest rate equal to the liability rate (such rate averages 6 percent)
      for each of the years in the five-year period ending December 31, 2000,
      are as follows:

</TABLE>


(6)   Goodwill acquired in the purchase of Shelby Life is recognized.

(7)   Other assets have been increased for the deferred debt issuance costs of
      the commitment fees paid for the borrowings on the Amended Credit
      Agreement and subordinated convertible debt.

(8)   Accounts payable have been increased due to the $3,000 dividend payable
      to DLAC at closing and the accrual of estimated acquisition costs
      associated with the transaction.

(9)   Notes payable are increased to reflect the increased borrowings under the
      Amended Credit Agreement and subordinated convertible debt.  The Amended
      Credit Agreement provides for SMC to borrow up to $16,000 in the form of
      a seven year reducing revolving loan arrangement.  Interest on the
      borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement is determined, at the
      option of SMC, to be: (i) a fluctuating rate of interest based on the
      corporate base rate announced by the bank from time to time plus 1% per
      annum, or (ii) a rate at LIBOR plus 3.25%.  Annual principal repayments
      of $2,667 begin in November 1998 and conclude in November 2003.  At
      December 31, 1996, SMC had borrowed $16,000 under the Amended Credit
      Agreement at an interest rate of 8.793% for the acquisition of Shelby
      Life.

      In connection with the acquisition of Shelby Life, SMC borrowed an
      additional $4,000 from an insurance company pursuant to a subordinated
      convertible debt agreement which is due in December 2003 and requires
      interest payments in cash at 12% per annum, or, if SMC chooses, in non-
      cash additional subordinated convertible debt notes at 14% per annum
      until December 31, 2000.  The subordinated convertible debt notes are
      convertible into SMC Common Stock at the rate of $6.00 per share through
      November 1997, and $5.75 per share thereafter.  SMC is currently making
      interest payments in the form of subordinated convertible debt notes for
      which the assumed non-cash interest rate is 14% per annum.

(10)  Deferred tax liabilities have been recorded primarily for the actuarially
      determined present value of future profits from existing insurance and
      the deferred tax assets of Shelby Life are netted against the deferred
      tax liabilities of SMC.

(11)  The Shelby Life historical shareholder's equity and related average
      common shares outstanding is eliminated under purchase accounting.

(12)  Common stock has been adjusted for the repurchase of SMC Common Stock
      warrants previously  issued to an unaffiliated insurer as part of the
      debt issuance costs for the subordinated convertible debt agreement
      ($600) and the issuance of SMC Common Stock warrants to Fleet Bank in
      connection with the increased line of credit on the Amended Credit
      Agreement ($75).

(13)  Treasury stock has been decreased to reflect the reissuance of 250,000
      shares of SMC Common Stock held in treasury to DLAC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

Adjustments to the pro forma combined statement of operations to give effect to
the purchase of Shelby Life as of January 1, 1995 are summarized below.

(14)  Amortization of deferred acquisition costs and present value of future
      profits recorded by Shelby Life prior to the purchase has been eliminated
      and replaced with the amortization of the present value of the future
      profits as a result of the transaction.  The portion of present value of
      future profits recorded by Shelby Life prior to the purchase that related
      to the purchase accounting adjustments for investments was included in
      net investment income.  The amount of present value of future profits
      resulting from the transaction is being amortized on a constant yield
      basis over the estimated life of insurance in force at the date of
      acquisition in proportion to the emergence of profits over a period of 20
      years, with interest equal to the interest rate credited to the
      underlying policies. Amortization of goodwill acquired in the transaction
      is recognized over a 20-year period on a straight-line basis.

(15)  Interest expense and financing costs is increased to reflect the increase
      in borrowings under the Amended Credit Agreement and the subordinated
      convertible debt and amortization of deferred debt issuance costs
      associated with the Amended Credit Agreement.

      The interest expense on the borrowings for the Shelby Life acquisition is
      calculated as follows:

       Total interest expense and financing costs         $1,119                             $1,491
</TABLE>

(16)  Federal income tax expense has been adjusted to reflect the income tax
      effects of the pro forma adjustments, based on SMC's tax rate of 34
      percent.


(17)  Weighted average common and common equivalent shares outstanding are
      increased to reflect the restricted SMC Common Stock shares issued to
      DLAC, the repurchase of SMC Common Stock warrants previously issued to an
      unaffiliated insurer as part of the debt issuance costs for the
      subordinated convertible debt agreement and the issuance of SMC Common
      Stock warrants in connection with the Amended Credit Agreement.
