ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
OVERVIEW
Princeton Dental Management Corporation ("Princeton" or the "Company")
is involved in the management of dental practices and laboratories. The market
of general dental practitioners and dental specialists is characterized as
highly fragmented. The Company's goal has been to acquire and consolidate dental
practices and to increase their profitability by centralizing certain
administrative, purchasing, marketing and other functions and implementing
certain revenue enhancement programs.
Princeton was incorporated in Delaware in October 1986 and commenced
operations in 1987. Princeton's principal executive offices are located at 7421
West 100th Place, Bridgeview, Illinois 60455.
GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF BUSINESS.

NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.
The Company is involved in the management of dental practices and a
laboratory. Dental practices provide routine dental services and, in certain
cases, specialty services such as oral surgery, orthodontics, periodontics, and
endodontics. These services are offered to the general public on either a
fee-for-service basis or through a form of managed care. Dental laboratories
manufacture dental prosthetics (e.g. dentures, bridges, crowns, etc.) as
requested by dental practices.
The business of providing dental care services through dental centers
is highly competitive. The Company's practices compete with both existing
neighborhood general practices as well as franchises and dental practices
located in shopping centers, malls, etc.
The Company's operations are not significantly dependent on the source
or availability of any materials. Rather, the Company's viability and revenue
production is dependent upon the ability to attract and employ dental
practitioners and specialists. The Company's acquisition strategy typically
includes maintaining the employment of
3
<PAGE> 4
the dentists and specialists within the acquired practice groups. The Company
feels that there is no shortage of qualified available dental professionals that
would impair its ability to maintain and expand its business.
The Company is not dependent upon any single customer or a few major
customers. However, a significant percentage of the Company's revenues are
generated from managed care agreements. Under customary managed care agreements,
providers agree to accept a reduced fee for service or payment on a capitation
(fixed fee) basis. In return for this concession, under the terms of such
agreements, the practice is a preferred or exclusive provider of services to a
certain population of potential patients. The Company recognizes that, while
these managed care contracts can significantly enhance the revenue of a given
practice, the loss of any of these contracts could likewise be significant.
GOVERNMENT REGULATION
The field of dentistry is highly regulated, and there can be no
assurance that the regulatory environment in which the Company operates will not
change significantly in the future.
Every state imposes licensing and other requirements on individual
dentists, dental facilities, dental services and dental managed care plans. In
addition, federal and state laws regulate third party payers for dental
services. Insurance laws and regulations and prepaid managed dental care plan
licensing laws and regulations establish licensing, financial, operational,
marketing and other requirements relating to prepaid managed dental care plans.
In the future, the Company may become subject to compliance with additional
regulations.
The practice of dentistry is subject to regulation under state laws
which, among other things, govern the ownership and control of dental practices,
advertising, fee splitting, referral fees, and other financial arrangements. For
example, some states may require the dentist's name (or possibly a corporate
name of which the practicing dentist is an officer) to be displayed clearly on
an outside sign or on the door of the practice, while other states may require
the billing for professional services to be made by the dentist who rendered the
services with that dentist's name clearly reflected thereon. No regulatory
authority has formally reviewed or approved Princeton's plan of operations and
no such formal review is presently contemplated or, to Princeton's knowledge,
available. No assurances can be given that, if any such review was available or
occurred, the result would be favorable. In addition, there can be no assurance
that such states will not enact more restrictive legislation that could require
Princeton to modify its operations and possibly adversely affect its
profitability prospects.
In most states, including Florida and Michigan, where all of the
Company's dental centers and dental practices are located, dental practices must
be owned by a licensed dentist. In keeping with these legal requirements, the
Company operates its dental centers and dental practices and derives revenues
from the operations thereof through comprehensive long-term management
agreements with corporations owned by licensed dentists. The Company generally
owns the dental equipment utilized by the practice and provides such equipment,
capital, staffing, management and marketing services to the practice, allowing
the dentists employed by such corporations to focus on delivery of high quality
dental care. The licensed dentists receive compensation directly from the
dentist-owned corporation. The Company receives the remaining gross revenue from
dental services provided at the dental centers and pays all operating and other
expenses, including staff salaries and benefits.
The Company enters into long-term management agreements with licensed
dentists or dentist-owned corporations pursuant to which the Company manages all
non-clinical aspect of the dental practices. The management agreements typically
run for a term of ten years and are subject to automatic renewal. Pursuant to
such management agreements, the Company provides facilities, dental and office
equipment and supplies, non-clinical staffing, management support, marketing and
other ancillary services. The Company bills and collects all receivables on
behalf of the managed practices.
As compensation for all management services provided by the Company the
managed practice agrees to pay to the Company, as an administrative management
fee, all of the practice revenues in excess of the amounts required to pay
compensation to the dentist(s) and dental hygienists employed by the practice.
The Company is
4
<PAGE> 5
responsible for paying all practice expenses including staff salaries, from and
out of the management fee. If revenues are not sufficient to pay clinical
salaries, the unpaid portion of the management fee is accrued.
The operation and management of the dental centers must meet federal,
state and local regulatory standards in the areas of health and safety. Those
standards have not had any material affect on the operation of the dental
centers or the operations of the Company. Based on management's familiarity and
knowledge of the operations of the dental centers and the activities of the
affiliated dentists, management believes that the dental centers and the
dentists are in compliance in all material respects with all applicable federal,
state and local laws and regulations relating to health and safety. The Company
meets certain OSHA and other governmental regulation and guidelines in its
dental practices. The cost of such compliance has not been material.
The laws of many states prohibit dentists from splitting fees with
non-dentists and prohibit non-dental entities (such as the Company) from
practicing dentistry, and from employing dentists or, in certain circumstances,
dental assistants. The laws of some states prohibit advertising dental services
under a trade or corporate name and further require that all advertisements of
dental services be in the name of the dentist providing the services. A few
states also regulate the content of advertisements of dental services. A few
states also regulate the content of advertisements of dental services and the
use of promotional gift items to attract new clients.
Some states limit the ability of a non-licensed dentist or non-dentists
to own or control equipment or offices used in a dental practice. Some of the
states allow leasing of equipment and office space to a dental practice, under a
bonafide lease, if the equipment and office remains in the complete care and
custody of the dentist. Management believes, based on its familiarity and
knowledge of the operations of the Company and the activities of the affiliated
dentists, that the Company's current and planned activities do not violate
applicable statutes and regulations. There can be no assurance, however, that
future interpretation of such laws, or the enactment of new laws, will not
require structural and organizational modifications of the Company's existing
contractual relationship with the affiliated dentists or the operation of the
dental centers. In additional, statues in some states could restrict expansion
of the Company's operations in those jurisdictions.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
The Company believes that, in certain circumstances, the trade name of
the practice or group of practices acquired may have value within the area it
services. As part of each acquisition, the Company always acquires the
practices' trade names and trademarks. The Company typically will not change the
name of the acquired practices post-acquisition.
EMPLOYEES
As of March 1, 1999, Princeton employed approximately 198 individuals
on a full-time basis, including two executive officers, and 39 on a part-time
basis (defined as less than 32 hours per week). Princeton is not a party to any
collective bargaining agreement and believes its employee relationships are
satisfactory.
ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
The Company's principal executive offices are located at 7421 West
100th Place, Bridgeview, IL 60455. The Company currently leases approximately
2,646 square feet at the Bridgeview location on a month to month basis at a rate
of approximately $1,555.00 per month (plus real estate taxes and CAM) from an
entity controlled by Frank Leonard Laport, Chairman and CEO of Princeton (See
Exhibit 10.49). The Company also rents its phone system at the Bridgeview
location on a month to month basis at a rate of approximately $570.00 per month
from Mr. Laport (See Exhibit 10.50).
The lease on the former corporate office located at 2739 U.S. Highway
19, Holiday, Florida 34691, remains Princeton's obligation through June 30,
1999. Princeton has sublet all of the space at this location. The net reduction
in rent in 1998 due to the sublease was $119,028. The minimum lease payments
under this operating
5
<PAGE> 6
lease, net of sublease, for the year subsequent to December 31, 1998 is $12,313
in 1999.
On July 31, 1992, in connection with the Battle Creek Acquisition,
Princeton was assigned the right, pursuant to license agreements to operate
dental facilities in Meijers Thrifty Acres stores located in Battle Creek,
Taylor, and Ypsilanti, Michigan. The license agreements, which terminated on
December 31, 1997 also obligated Princeton to make license payments with respect
to the facilities. Pursuant to these licenses, Princeton was required to pay a
base license fee of $28,652 and an additional license fee based upon actual
collections received by each facility. In July, 1997 the company entered into a
Termination Agreement with respect to the Meijer leases, which terminated the
leases and obliged the Company to pay a total of $ 80,000 to Meijer over a
period of twelve months. The Termination Agreement also ended the base license
payments and additional license payments based on actual collections. In April
through June of 1997, the Company entered into new lease and/or management
agreements for new locations in Ypsilanti, Taylor and Battle Creek. The leases
at each of the Michigan locations are long-term leases, with initial monthly
rents ranging from $1,000 to $3,296. At the Ypsilanti location, the Company also
entered into a management agreement with the lead dentist entitling such dentist
to a percentage of net profits generated by such practice in return for
management services.
On December 31, 1993, in connection with the Mason Acquisition,
Princeton assumed the triple net lease for $148,200 per year, payable on a
monthly basis to Stark Enterprises, an entity owned by three individuals who
were at one time shareholders of Princeton as a result of the merger and one of
whom, Gary A. Lockwood, is President and COO of Princeton. The lease, which
terminates at December 31, 2001 and is subject to renewal, covers approximately
18,000 square feet.
On April 1, 1994, in connection with the Dental Team acquisition,
Princeton assumed nine facility leases ranging from $7,200 to $68,125 per year,
payable on a monthly basis with expiration dates ranging from April 30, 1998 to
March 1, 2004. The future minimum lease payments under these operating leases
for the years subsequent to December 31, 1998 are $173,130 in 1999, $104,563 in
2000, and $256,197 thereafter. In addition, the Boynton Beach office lease and a
storage facility lease are payable to B & S Properties, a partnership owned by
two individuals who are now shareholders of Princeton as a result of the merger,
which requires monthly payments totaling $3,600 through March 1, 2004. In
connection with the sale of the assets of the Dental Team of Delray Beach, the
lease for the Delray Beach location has been terminated. In connection with the
sale of the Florida dental lab, the purchaser assumed responsibility for that
lease.
In the opinion of management, the Company's facilities are adequately
covered by insurance.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On October 16, 1996, the Company was sued for $160,000 by Romajo
Partners Limited Partnership, a Partnership controlled by Dr. Seymour Kessler, a
former director of the Company. The Company received an adverse judgement in
that suit in October, 1997 and has paid Romajo Partners Limited Partnership
$162,627 as the judgement amount along with subsequent attorneys fees of
approximately $20,000 and costs.
On June 12, 1998, the Company sued Dr. Charles Mitchell, a former
officer and director of the Company, and Stratum Management, Inc. an affiliate
of Dr. Mitchell and a former consultant to the Company, for breach of contract
and breach of fiduciary duty. That lawsuit is still pending.
In October, 1998, the Company obtained judgement in a lawsuit brought,
in April 1998, against Dr. Richard Sokol, a former officer and director of the
company, and Lawrence Ceraulo and Primecast Dental, former contractors for the
Company, for breach of contract and breach of fiduciary duty. The Company is in
the process of seeking to enforce such judgement.
The Company is the defendant in several pending employee discrimination
and vendor/creditor law suits in which it is the defendant. Such law suits
include law suits brought against the Company by (i) J.F. Jelenko & Co. claiming
$90,338 owed; (ii) Office Max/Office Depot claiming $25,000 owed; (iii) Chuhak &
Tecson claiming
6
<PAGE> 7
approximately $50,000 (the Company has counter-claimed alleging legal
malpractice; (iv) Primecast Dental claiming unspecified damages; (v) a class
action discrimination suit bought against the Company in Michigan seeking
unspecified damages; (vi) a disability discrimination claim brought against the
Company in Michigan seeking unspecified damages and (vii) a sexual
discrimination suit brought against the Company in Florida seeking unspecified
damages. The Company is vigorously defending these lawsuits.
The Company has been advised by Henry Schein, Inc. and Zahn Dental
Company that such companies are claiming that the Company owes them an aggregate
of approximately $500,000. The Company has advised Henry Schein, Inc and Zahn
Dental Company that it would vigorously contest any such claim and believes that
it has significant counter-claims against Henry Schein, Inc.
While no litigation have been commenced, the Company has been advised
by the Dickerson Investment Group, an entity controlled by Mr. Donnell
Dickerson, that such company is claiming that the Company owes it approximately
$70,000. The Company has advised that it will vigorously contest any such claim.
The Company is involved in a number of other legal proceedings related
to malpractice, worker's compensation, general employment, vendor and contract
disputes all in various stages of proceedings. Management believes settlements,
if any, in excess of insurance coverage would be immaterial. There is no other
litigation pending to which Princeton is a party or of which any of its property
is the subject, other than routine litigation incidental to its business.
Further, there are no proceedings known to be contemplated by governmental
authorities relating to either Princeton or its properties.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
Effective August 18, 1997, the Company shareholders approved a one to
five reverse stock split of the Company's Common Stock. All figures have been
restated to reflect such reverse stock split.
Effective December 18, 1998, the Company held it's Annual Meeting at
which Frank L. Laport, Gary A. Lockwood, George B. Collins and Dr. Zigmund
Porter were elected as directors and Kirkland, Russ, Murphy and Tapp were
confirmed as the auditors for the Company.
PART II
ITEM 5. MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER
MATTERS

OVERVIEW
In early 1997, the Company sold three of its existing dental practices
and one of its dental labs (Fairfield, Dental Team at Delray Beach, Century and
Mason Dental Lab Southeast) (See Item 1).
During 1997, the Company significantly improved operating results
which, when combined with the waiver of interest and dividends pursuant to the
Modification Agreement and the Allonge (See Exhibits 10.55, 10.56 and 10.58) the
gain from the sale of three dental offices and one dental lab, an accompanying
reduction of the depreciation and a reduction of the monthly amortization based
on the write down of goodwill at December 31, 1996, resulted in a small net
profit for 1997.
In 1998, the Company incurred significant operating and net losses,
due primarily to the expiration of the waiver of interest and dividends which
had been in place in 1997 (See Exhibits 10.55, 10.56 and 10.58), a one-time
charge of $250,000 for anticipated State of Michigan taxes and a one time charge
of $123,900 incurred in connection with the exercise of the default warrants.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Revenue for the year ended December 31, 1998 was $12,066,127 compared
with $13,795,792 for the year ended December 31, 1998, a decrease of $1,729,665.
The change in revenue is due primarily to reduction in dental practice
production due to the sale of three dental practices and a dental lab during
1997. Operating expenses decreased $1,183,203 to $12,698,766 for the year ended
December 31, 1998 from $13,881,969 for the year ended December 31, 1997. This
decrease is due in large part to the reduction in dental practice revenue.
Interest expense increased $643,754 to $880,145 for the year ended
December 31, 1998 versus $236,391 incurred in the comparable period last year.
The increase is primarily due to the expiration of the waiver of interest and
dividends pursuant to the Modification Agreement and the Allonge. (See Exhibits
10.55, 10.56 and 10.58)
The Company showed a net loss of $1,618,476 for the year period ended
December 31, 1998, as compared to net income of $8,419 for the year period ended
December 3, 1997. The net loss for the year ended December 31, 1998 shows
substantial deterioration over the prior year ended December 31, 1997, primarily
as a result of the expiration of the waiver of interest and dividends pursuant
to the Modification Agreement and the Allonge (See Exhibits 10.55, 10.56 and
10.58), a charge of $250,000 for Michigan taxes and the gain from the sale of
three dental offices and one dental lab during 1997.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
Changes in the Company's financial condition at December 31, 1998 as
compared with December 31, 1997 resulted primarily from the expiration of the
waiver of interest and dividends pursuant to the Modification Agreement and the
Allonge and a general reduction in practice revenues and the sale of three
dental practices and a dental laboratory during the year ended December 31,
1997. During the year ended December 31, 1997, the Company realized significant
proceeds from the sale of Fairfield Dental, Center Century Dental Center, and
Mason Dental Southeast / Renaissance Dental Studio. The sale of the Dental Team
of Delray Beach was exclusively forgiveness of debt. The Company recognized no
cash from the sale of the Delray Beach practice.
In the period from 1993 to present, the Company did not make certain
Michigan state tax filings. The Company is in the process of preparing these
filings and estimates its liability at approximately $500,000.
Given the Company's recurring losses from operations, the significant
working capital deficits and the uncertainty in obtaining additional funding to
provide working capital in the short term, a substantial doubt has been raised
as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Absent significant
and immediate additional funding, the Company will have to consider relief under
Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code or some similar possibility. The
Company presently has no source for any additional funding.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of December 31, 1998, the Company had a working capital deficit of
$4,532,871 and a financial accumulated deficit of $15,341,247. Goodwill and
other intangibles comprise approximately 69% of total assets, leaving tangible
assets of approximately $2,275,451 and negative tangible net worth of
approximately $5,197,019.
During the year ended December 31, 1998, the Company's cash and cash
equivalents increased $142,080. Cash provided by operations was $450,064,
resulting primarily from the Company's increase in accrued expenses of $932,222
and depreciation and amortization of $833,275.
Investing activities provided $83,227 of cash, primarily related to a
note payment related to the sale of a dental practice. Cash of $321,362 was used
in financing activities, primarily as a result of the extinguishment of debt.
The Company has extensive deferred maintenance on all of its
facilities. The Company estimates that it could cost in excess of $1.15 Million
to properly re-equip and refurbish all facilities. At present the Company has no
source of funding to address such matters.
Many computer systems in use today were designed and developed using
two digits, rather than four to specify the year. As a result, such systems may
recognize the year 2000 as 00. This could cause many computer applications to
fail completely or to create erroneous results unless corrective measures are
taken. The Company utilizes software and related computer technologies essential
to its operations that may be affected by the Year 2000 issue.
Management has developed a plan to modify its information technology to
be ready for year 2000 and has begun converting critical data processing
systems. Management expects the project to be substantially complete by
November, 1999 and incur total expenditures of approximately $190,000 related to
the project. See Note 15 for potential financing arrangements of year 2000
capital expenditures.
The Company has reviewed the Year 2000 problem as it relates to the
Company's internal system and does not believe at this time that it will have a
material impact upon its business, operations or financial condition. However,
the Company's review is continuing and the Company can make no absolute
assurances in this regard.
As disclosed in Item 12, the Company's primary source of outside
financing is from the Investor Group.
10
<PAGE> 11
Given the Company's working capital deficit and negative tangible net worth, the
Company is heavily reliant on the Investor Group. The Company has not needed to
obtain additional material amounts of funding from the Investor Group during the
past year but remains in an ongoing state of default under the terms of the
Financing Arrangement. If the Investor Group was to call a formal default on the
Preferred Stock/Convertible Debt issued by the Company, the Company would have
no means of curing such default.

(2) Mr. Collins serves as a representative of Amsterdam Equities Limited.
Conversion of the Convertible Debt and Series A Stock presently held by
Amsterdam Equities Limited, which totals approximately $3 Million as of
this date, would result in the additional issuance to Amsterdam Equities
Limited of approximately 1,635,673 shares of Company Common Stock. On a
fully diluted basis and assuming full conversion, this would result in
Amsterdam Equities Limited owning shares of Company Common Stock which,
when added to its existing stock holdings, would be equal to
approximately 36% of the Company. As of this date, the conversion of this
debt into equity at the existing conversion formula would result in a
conversion price per share significantly in excess of current market
levels for the Company's Common Stock. Amsterdam Equities Limited has not
indicated to the Company whether it intends to convert its debt to
equity. See "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions".
(3) Conversion of the Series A Stock presently held by Mr. Laport, which
totals approximately $360,000 as of this date, would result in the
additional issuance to Mr. Laport of approximately 129,028 shares of
Company Common Stock. On a fully diluted basis, and assuming full
conversion by Amsterdam Equities Limited, this would result in Mr. Laport
owning shares of Common Stock which, when added to his existing stock
holdings, would be equal to approximately 24% of the Company (on a fully
diluted basis and assuming conversion in full by Amsterdam Equities
Limited and Mr. Laport). Mr. Laport is contractually prohibited from
converting his Series A Stock unless Amsterdam Equities Limited also
decides to convert its Convertible Debt. See "Certain Relationships and

OPTION GRANTS IN LAST FISCAL YEAR
As of March 1, 1998 options to purchase an aggregate of 140,000 shares
of Common Stock at exercise prices ranging from $20.00 to $4.35 had been granted
and were outstanding under the Company's 1993 Incentive and Non-Statutory Stock
Option Plan. The dates such options were granted range from June 3, 1993 to June
6, 1996.
As of March 21, 1996, as amended on July 17, 1996, the Company issued
to each of John H. Hagan and Dr. Seymour Kessler options to purchase 16,200
shares each (reduced from options to purchase 25,000 shares each originally
granted). The options were exercisable at a price of $5.95 per share, and
expired in March 1999.
In June 1996, the Company issued to Gary A. Lockwood options to
purchase 20,000 shares. The options vest over a 3.5 year period. The options
were exercisable at a price of $4.35 per share, and expire in January 2003.
Effective as of January 1996, as amended on July 17, 1996, the Company
issued Warrants to Purchase up to 77,600 shares of Company common stock (reduced
from 120,000 shares originally) to Stratum Management, Inc., a consulting group
affiliated with Dr. Charles R. Mitchell (See Item 12). The Warrants were

Effective as of April 1996, the Company issued Warrants to purchase to
the Investor Group for an aggregate of 4,125,000 shares of Company common stock
(subject to anti-dilution provision). The Warrants had an exercise price of
$0.10 per share and, due to the failure by the Company to achieve certain stated
financial goals, were exercisable after January 1, 1997 and are presently
exercisable (See Item 12). Effective as of July, 1997 the exercise price of the
warrants were reduced to $0.01 per share (subject to anti-dilution adjustment)
in connection with a year-long interest waiver by the Investor Group, which
saved the Company in excess of $700,000 in interest expense. Effective as of
November 4, 1998, the Company was advised that (i) Amsterdam Equities Limited
had transferred any and all interest which they had in the default warrants to
Frank Leonard Laport, and (ii) that Mr. Laport had proceeded to exercise such
default warrants. Exercise of all of the default warrants for the stated
exercise price resulted in Mr. Laport receiving approximately 1,065,483
additional shares of Company Common Stock.

ITEM 12. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
FINANCING ARRANGEMENT
1. On April 22, 1996, the Company entered into a financing arrangement pursuant
to which the Company issued Convertible Debt (the Convertible Debt) to Amsterdam
Equities Limited in the amount of $2,483,620 and 3,599.77 shares of Series A
11.75% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the Preferred Stock) to Amsterdam
Equities Limited (195 shares), Frank Leonard Laport (1,904.77 shares), and
Beverly Trust Company, as custodian for the Frank Leonard Laport Rollover
Individual Retirement Account No. 75-49990 (1,500 shares) (collectively, the
Investor Group). The Convertible Debt and Preferred Stock replaced indebtedness
of the Company at April 22, 1996, in the amount of $1,976,700 incurred under
that certain letter agreement dated December 7, 1994 (the Letter Agreement) and
that certain Secured Revolving Demand Note dated January 27, 1995 (the Secured
Note). Under the terms of the Convertible Debt and Preferred Stock Agreements
(also referred to herein collectively as the Financing Arrangement) the Investor
Group could choose to lend additional funds, in increments to be determined
solely by the Investor Group. The Convertible Debt and Preferred Stock were
initially to bear interest and have a coupon rate, respectively of 11.75%, plus
the payment of any withholding taxes which might be due and owing with respect
to any person which is a foreign entity. Payments on the Convertible
Debt/Preferred Stock were interest only due in quarterly installments which were
to begin in September 1996. The Convertible Debt/Preferred Stock originally had
a maturity of seven years from the date of closing, subject to acceleration in
the event of a default. Subsequent to September 30, 1996 the Company was unable
to pay the interest only requirements of the Convertible Debt and Preferred
Stock Agreements, therefore, effective October 1, 1996 interest began to accrue
at the default rate of 21.75%.
Pursuant to that certain Modification Agreement ("Modification
Agreement") entered into between the Investor Group and the Company and dated as
of July 1, 1997, the Investor Group agreed, conditioned upon continued listing
by the Company on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market and similar concessions by another
significant Company creditor, to waive all accumulated and ongoing interest
and/or dividends on the Convertible Debt/Preferred Stock for the period from
January 1, 1997 through December 31, 1997. That waiver ended on January 1, 1998,
and interest and dividends have again been accruing.
The waiver of interest and dividends during 1997 on the part of the
Investor Group resulted in a total savings to the Company in excess of $700,000.
In addition to the amounts owed under the Letter Agreement and the
Secured Note, the terms of the Convertible Debt and Preferred Stock Agreements
called for the conversion of 58,333 shares of the Company's Regulation D Common
Stock held by the Investor Group into $350,000 of Convertible Debt and Preferred
Stock.
An additional provision of the Convertible Debt and Preferred Stock
Agreements included the payment of $300,000 as a closing fee and required the
Company to reimburse the legal fees and costs and expenses of the Investor Group
in connection with the negotiation and the closing of the transaction which
totaled $216,897. The closing fees and reimbursement of the costs and expenses
were payable in the form of Convertible Debt and Preferred Stock. In total, the
Company incurred costs of $544,716 in connection with the refinancing which has
been capitalized and will be amortized over a period of seven years or until the
Convertible Debt/Preferred Stock is called.
The terms of the Convertible Debt and Preferred Stock Agreements
provided the Investor Group with certain rights pertaining to the registration
of any common stock to which the Investor Group may convert from Convertible
Debt or Preferred Stock, certain anti-dilution rights, and a right of first
refusal on any future offering of Company securities.
Under the terms of the transaction, the Company also issued a warrant
to purchase 100 shares of Series B Preferred Stock. The Series B Preferred Stock
entitled Amsterdam Equities Limited to elect a Class B director who would have
super-majority voting powers on the Company's Board of Directors. Effective as
of August, 1996, Mr.
17

Laport was elected as the Class B Director. The Class B Director has taken no
action to date.
The Convertible Debt and Preferred Stock may be converted into the
common stock of the Company, at the sole option of the Investor Group, at
various conversion rates as set forth in the conversion formula contained in the
Convertible Debt and Preferred Stock Agreements. If the Investor Group were to
convert all outstanding Convertible Debt and Preferred Stock at the present
time, and exercise the default warrants (see below), the conversion would result
(when combined with existing holdings) in the Investor Group owing approximately
65% of the issued and outstanding shares of Company's common stock (after
conversion and assuming full conversion and anti-dilution).
In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Financing Arrangement, the
Company issued to the holders of the Convertible Debt and the Preferred Stock a
series of default warrants to purchase an aggregate number of shares of common
stock equivalent to fifty percent (50.0%) of the issued and outstanding Common
Stock of the Company at an exercise price of $0.10 per share (subsequently
reduced to $0.01 per share under the terms of the Modification Agreement). This
modification effectively reduced the aggregate exercise price of approximately
$412,500 for the default warrants to an aggregate exercise price of
approximately $41,250 (not accounting for any adjustments due to the
anti-dilution provision of the Warrants and due to changes in the total issued
and outstanding shares of the Company's common stock). Initially, the Investor
Group could exercise the warrants only upon the occurrence of an event of
default under the terms of the Financing Arrangement or upon the failure by the
Company to achieve certain minimum financial goals of net income of at least one
dollar in the fiscal year ending December 31, 1996, and various net income tests
in subsequent years. The Company has been in ongoing default under the Financing
Arrangement and the stated financial goals have not been met, and, accordingly,
these default warrants have been capable of being exercised by the Investor
Group upon payment of a minimal exercise price since January 1, 1997. At present
the cumulative effect of the issuance of shares pursuant to the default warrants
to the Investor Group and the conversion of outstanding Convertible
Debt/Preferred Stock would result in ownership by the Investor Group of
approximately 65% of the Company's total issued and outstanding common stock
after such conversion and exercise.
Effective as of November 4, 1998, the Company was advised that (i)
Amsterdam Equities Limited had transferred any and all interest which they had
in the default warrants to Frank Leonard Laport, and (ii) that Mr. Laport had
proceeded to exercise such default warrants. Exercise of all of the default
warrants for the stated exercise price resulted in Mr. Laport receiving
approximately 1,065,483 additional shares of Company Common Stock.
2. George B. Collins, a director of the Company, holds a Power of Attorney from
Amsterdam Equities Limited and generally serves as the representative of
Amsterdam Equities Limited on the Board of the Company.
3. Mr. Laport, an officer and director of the Company, owns the property and the
phone system located at 7421 West 100th Place, Bridgeview, IL and leases a
portion of such space and phone system to the Company. The Leases between the
Company and Mr. Laport are on a month-to-month basis and provide for aggregate
monthly payments from the Company to Mr. Laport of approximately $ 2,000. In
addition, the Company is responsible for a pro-rata portion of the expenses
associated with the property, including real estate taxes, utilities, etc. This
lease was entered into subsequent to Mr. Laport becoming an officer and
director.
4. Mr. Lockwood, an officer and director of the Company, is a part owner of
Stark Enterprises, which owns the property located at 12752 Stark Road in
Livonia, MI. The Company leases such property from Stark Enterprises. Pursuant
to such lease, which expires in 2002, the Company pays monthly payments of
approximately $ 13,000 to Stark Enterprises. In addition, Mr. Lockwood also has
a partial ownership interest in The Island Group. In connection with the
Company's initial acquisition of its Mason Dental lab facility, the Company
issued a promissory note to The Island Group, which such Note requires monthly
payments of $21,000 and runs through 2005.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
Board of Directors
Princeton Dental Management Corporation:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Princeton Dental
Management Corporation as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity (deficit), and cash
flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of
Princeton Dental Management Corporation at December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the
consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then
ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming
that Princeton Dental Management Corporation will continue as a going concern.
As discussed in Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company's
recurring losses from operations and its net working capital deficiency raise
substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern.
Management's operational plans in regard to these matters are also described in
Notes 13 and 15. The consolidated financial statements do not include any
adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of reported asset
amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from
the outcome of this uncertainty.

<PAGE> 37
PRINCETON DENTAL MANAGEMENT CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1998 AND 1997
(1) ORGANIZATION, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
On October 22, 1986, the Company was organized as Princeton Dental
Management Corporation, a Delaware corporation. The Company had
limited activity up through its first issuances of common stock in
June 1987. The Company owns a lab in Michigan and provides management
services to dental practices (DP) under long-term management service
agreements (MSA). Corporate practices of dentistry laws in the states
in which the Company currently operates prohibit the Company from
owning dental practices. In response to these laws, the Company has
executed management service agreements with various dental practices.
Under the terms of the MSA, the Company, among other things, bills
and collects patient receivables and provides all administrative
support to the DP. The DP are owned by corporations whose sole
shareholder is a licensed dentist. Licensed dentists at each practice
supervise the professional dental staff and provide all of the
clinical services to the patients.
In 1997, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) of the Financial
Accounting Standards Board evaluated certain matters relating to the
physician practice management industry (EITF issue number 97-2) and
reached a consensus on the accounting for transactions between
physician practice management companies (PPM) and physician practices
and the financial reporting of such entities. For financial reporting
purposes, EITF 97-2 mandates the consolidation of affiliated
physician practices with the PPM when certain conditions have been
met, even though the PPM does not have an equity investment in the
physician practice. The accompanying consolidated financial
statements are prepared in conformity with the consensus reached in
EITF 97-2.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries and the affiliated DP. All
material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated
in consolidation.
(a) Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are comprised primarily of receivables
from dental patients and insurance carriers. Credit is
extended based on an evaluation of the customer's financial
condition, and generally collateral is not required.
(b) Inventories
Inventories, consisting principally of dental prosthetics,
are stated at the lower of cost, determined by the first-in,
first-out method, or market.
(continued)
<PAGE> 38
PRINCETON DENTAL MANAGEMENT CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(c) Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated
depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is recorded using
the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of five
to nine years. Property and equipment held under capital
leases and leasehold improvements are amortized straight-line
over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful
life of the asset.
(d) Goodwill
Goodwill represents excess of purchase price over the fair
value of net assets acquired, net of any liabilities assumed,
from dental practices and other operations acquired by the
Company. Amortization of goodwill totaled approximately
$462,000 and $473,000 for the years ended December 31, 1998
and 1997, respectively.
(e) Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in the month the related
service is provided. Operating revenues include amounts
estimated by management to be receivable from Medicaid and
other third-party programs under provisions of reimbursement
terms in effect. Differences between estimated payments and
final payments are reflected as charges or credits to
operating revenues when the payment is received.
(f) Income Taxes
The Company uses the liability method of accounting for
income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and
liabilities are determined based on differences between
financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities
and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that
will be in effect as the differences reverse.
(g) Estimates
In preparing financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles, management makes
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets
and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as
well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
(h) Concentrations of Credit Risk
Cash balances are maintained in financial institutions.
Occasionally, deposits exceed amounts insured by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation.

PRINCETON DENTAL MANAGEMENT CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(i) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to
be Disposed Of
The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed of
(SFAS 121).
SFAS 121 requires that long-lived assets and certain
identifiable intangibles held and used by an entity be
reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset
may not be recoverable. If the sum of the expected future
cash flows (undiscounted and without interest) is less than
the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is
recognized. Measurement of that loss would be based on the
fair value of the asset. SFAS 121 also generally requires
long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be
disposed of to be reported at the lower of the carrying
amount or the fair value less cost to sell.
(j) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
At December 31, 1998 and 1997, the carrying value of all
financial instruments approximated their fair values.
(k) Reclassifications
The accompanying consolidated financial statements contain
certain reclassifications of previously reported information.
The reclassifications have been made to more appropriately
reflect the operating results of the Company.
(l) Reverse Stock Split
The Board of Directors authorized a one-for-five reverse
stock split effective August 18, 1997. All share and per
share data have been retroactively restated to give effect to
this reverse stock split.
(m) Net Income (Loss) Per Share of Common Stock
The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 128, Earnings per Share (SFAS 128). Under SFAS
128, basic net income (loss) per share of common stock is
computed by dividing income available to common stockholders
by the weighted average number of common shares actually
outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per
share of common stock presents income attributable to common
shares actually outstanding plus dilutive potential common
shares outstanding during the period. See Note 9 for the
computation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per common
stock as required by SFAS No. 128.

(7) SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY - CONTINUED
(c) Stock Options and Warrants
During 1993, the Company's Board of Directors adopted an
Incentive and Non-Statutory Stock Option Plan (the 1993
Option Plan). Options under the 1993 Option Plan are either
"incentive stock options" (ISOs), which are intended to
qualify under Section 422A of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended, or "nonstatutory stock options" (NSOs),
which are not intended to qualify. The exercise price of ISOs
granted must be at least 100% of the fair market value of the
common stock on the grant date, except that the exercise
price of options granted to shareholders possessing more than
10% of the voting power of the Company's voting stock must be
at least 110% of such fair market value.
The price of NSOs shall be specified by the Board at the time
the option is granted, and may be less than the fair market
value of the underlying shares of common stock on the date
such NSO is granted, but may not be less than the par value
of the underlying shares of common stock. Each stock option
granted under the 1993 Option Plan expires on the date
specified in the option agreement, which date shall not be
later than the tenth anniversary of the date on which the
option was granted (fifth anniversary in the case of a
greater-than-10% shareholder). The Board of Directors
approved 67,900 shares to be reserved for issuance pursuant
to the 1993 Option Plan. The 1993 Option Plan will terminate
in June 2003, or on such earlier date as the Board of
Directors may determine.
During 1996, the Company issued ISO's to two directors to
purchase an aggregate of 50,000 shares of the Company's
common stock at $5.95 per share, vesting in equal
installments over three years commencing one year from the
date of grant and expiring in March 1999. Subsequent to the
initial grant and pursuant to an agreement with the
directors, the ISO grant was reduced to 32,400 shares of the
Company's common stock.
During September 1996, the Company and certain investors
reached a settlement after a lawsuit was filed against two
former officers and shareholders of the Company. As a result,
the former officers and shareholders surrendered 3,555 shares
of common stock to the Company. These surrendered shares
are being held in treasury.
During 1996, the Company issued a warrant to Stratum
Management, Inc. and certain consultants to purchase 120,000
shares of the Company's common stock at $5.00 per share. The
warrant expired December 31, 1998 without being exercised.
Subsequent to issuance and pursuant to an agreement with
Stratum Management, Inc. and certain consultants, the warrant
was reduced to 77,600 shares of the Company's common stock
(Note 13).
During 1996, the Company issued ISO's to an employee to
purchase 20,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $4.35
per share vesting in varying installments over three and
one-half years and expiring in January 2003.

(c) Stock Options and Warrants - Continued
During 1998, the Company issued options to BullsEye
Marketing, Inc. to purchase 250,000 shares of the Company's
common stock at $2.00 per share and terms similar to the
current publicly held warrants. Subsequent to December 31,
1998, these options expired.
On September 3, 1998, the Board of Directors declared an
extension period of twelve months for the expiration date of
the warrants issued pursuant to the Company's initial public
offering on April 15, 1992. Further extensions beyond October
11, 1999 of the expiration date of these warrants may
hereafter be determined by the Board of Directors up to a
total of an additional twelve months or such additional time
in such increments as the Board of Directors may determine in
accordance with the terms of the related Warrant Agreement.
The Company has adopted the disclosure - only provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123,
Accounting for Stock Based Compensation (SFAS 123).
Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for the
stock option plans. Had compensation and other cost for the
Company's stock option plan for employees or directors or
issued warrants been determined based on the fair value at
the grant date or issuance for awards in 1996, consistent
with the provisions of SFAS 123, the impact on net loss would
have been immaterial.
Information regarding the employee option plan for 1998 and
1997 is as follows:

(8) INCOME TAXES
The Company had no income tax expense in 1998 and 1997. The Company
utilized tax net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards to offset taxable
income in 1998.
As of December 31, 1998, the Company has approximately $7,200,000 in
tax net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards available to offset future
taxable income through 2013.
For financial statement reporting purposes, a valuation allowance of
approximately $2,880,000 and $2,627,000 has been recognized to offset
net deferred tax assets in 1998 and 1997, respectively. This
valuation allowance increased (decreased) approximately $253,000 and
$(85,000) during 1998 and 1997, respectively. The utilization of NOL
carryforwards may be delayed because of ownership changes resulting
from the Company's initial public offering and other issuances of
stock. The maximum amount of loss carryforwards allowed to be
utilized each year is determined by multiplying the value of the
Company at the time of the change in ownership by the federal
long-term tax-exempt rate.

(10) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
(a) Operating Leases
The Company leases office facilities and equipment under
various operating leases. Rent expense under operating leases
was approximately $635,000 and $690,000 for the years ended
December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
The Company has an operating lease for its dental lab in
Michigan, which expires in 2002, with an affiliated company
whereby the Company's President and Chief Operating Officer
is part owner. Rent expense under this lease is approximately
$160,000 for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997.
The Company entered into operating leases for its corporate
office and its telephone system, on a month to month basis,
from its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer in September
1996. Rent expense under these leases are approximately
$25,000 for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997.
The future minimum lease payments under these operating
leases for the years subsequent to December 31, 1998 are as
follows: 1999; $598,000, 2000; $445,000, 2001; $446,000,
2002; $262,000; 2003 - $154,000 and thereafter $343,000.
(b) Consulting and Employment Agreements
During 1996, the Company amended two employment agreements to
increase annual compensation to approximately $107,000 per
employee. In addition, one employee receives an additional
$12,000 for assuming the position of President and Chief
Operating Officer and was granted incentive stock options
(Note 7). The agreements provide for annual compensation
increases and expire in May 2001 although either the employee
or the Company may terminate the agreement upon ninety days
written notice.
During 1998, the Company entered into an agreement with
BullsEye Marketing, Inc. (Consultant) for consulting services
at $1,000 per month effective July 1998 and continuing on a
month to month basis terminable by either party at any time.

The Company is insured with respect to medical malpractice
risks up to $1,000,000 per claim with a $3,000,000 annual
aggregate claims limit.
(11) BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS/SALES
During 1997, the Company sold three dental practices and a laboratory
for approximately $668,000 in cash, $436,000 in loans receivable
(Note 2) and the buyers= assumption of certain debt and other
liabilities of $674,000. The Company recognized a gain on sale of
these practices/lab of approximately $283,000. Combined sales of
these entities for their last complete fiscal year (1996) was
approximately $4,000,000.
(12) LITIGATION
The Company is involved in a number of legal proceedings related to
malpractice, workers= compensation, general employment and contract
disputes all in various stages of proceedings. In the opinion of
management, the amount of the ultimate liability with respect to
those actions will not materially affect the Company's financial
position or results of operations.
(13) FINANCING AGREEMENT
On April 22, 1996, the Company entered into a financing agreement
pursuant to which the Company issued Convertible Secured Debt
(Convertible Debt) of $2,483,620 and 3,599.77 shares of Series A
11.75% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (Preferred Stock) to
Amsterdam Equities Limited, Frank Leonard Laport and St. Paul Trust,
as custodian for the Frank Leonard Laport Rollover Individual
Retirement Account No. 75-49990 (Investor Group). The Convertible
Debt and Preferred Stock replaced indebtedness of the Company at
April 22, 1996, in the amount of $1,976,700 incurred under a letter
agreement dated December 7, 1994 (Letter Agreement) and that certain
Secured Revolving Demand Note dated January 27, 1995 (the Secured
Note). Under the terms of the Convertible Debt and Preferred Stock
Agreements (also referred to herein collectively as the Financing
Arrangements) the Investor Group may lend additional funds, in
increments to be determined solely by the Investor Group. The funds
may be used by the Company subject to the approval of the Investor
Group, to fund certain acquisitions. The Convertible Debt and
Preferred Stock were initially to bear interest and have a coupon
rate, respectively of 11.75%, plus the payment of any withholding
taxes which may be due and owing with respect to any person which is
a foreign entity. Payments on the Convertible Debt/Preferred Stock
were interest only due in quarterly installments which were to begin
in September 1996. Interest accrued of $57,136 under the Financing
Arrangements at June 30, 1996 was added to the principal balance at
that date. The Convertible Debt/Preferred Stock originally had a
maturity of seven years from the date of closing, subject to
acceleration in the event of a default. Subsequent to September 30,
1996, the Company was unable to pay the interest only requirements of
the Financing Arrangements, therefore effective October 1, 1996 until
the accrued interest is paid, interest began to accrue at the default
rate of 21.75%. The accrued interest on the Convertible Debt totaled
approximately $790,000 and $190,000 at December 31, 1998 and 1997,
respectively.
(continued)
<PAGE> 50
PRINCETON DENTAL MANAGEMENT CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In addition to the amount owed under the Letter Agreement and the
Secured Note, the terms of the Financing Arrangements called for the
conversion of 58,333 shares of Regulation D stock held by the
Investor Group into $350,000 of Convertible Debt and Preferred Stock.
The shares of common stock redeemed are being held in treasury.
(13) FINANCING AGREEMENT - CONTINUED
An additional provision of the Financing Arrangements included the
payment of $300,000 as a closing fee and required the Company to
reimburse the legal fees and out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the
Investor Group in connection with the negotiation and the closing of
the transaction totaling $216,897. The closing fees and reimbursement
of the costs and expenses were paid in the form of Convertible Debt
and Preferred Stock.
The terms of the Financing Arrangements provided the Investor Group
with certain rights pertaining to the registration of any common
stock to which the Investor Group may convert from Convertible Debt
or Preferred Stock, certain anti-dilution rights, and a right of
first refusal on any future offering of the Company's securities.
Under the terms of the transaction, the Company issued a warrant to
purchase 100 shares of Series B Preferred Stock. The Series B
Preferred Stock entitles Amsterdam Equities Limited (Amsterdam),
after the occurrence of an event of default, to elect a Class B
director who would have super-majority voting powers on the Company=s
Board of Directors.
The Convertible Debt and Preferred Stock may be converted into common
stock of the Company, at the sole option of the Investor Group, at
various conversion rates as set forth in the conversion formula
contained in the Financing Arrangements. Conversion pursuant to such
conversion formula would result in a conversion price per share of
the Company's common stock significantly below present market levels.
In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Financing Arrangements, the
Company issued to the holders of the Convertible Debt and the
Preferred Stock warrants to purchase shares of common stock. The
Investor Group may exercise the warrants only upon the occurrence of
an event of default under the terms of certain minimum financial
goals, as defined in the Financing Arrangements.
During 1998, Amsterdam Equities Limited transferred any and all
interest which they had in certain default warrants to Frank Leonard
Laport. Mr. Laport exercised such warrants, which resulted in the
issuance of 1,065,483 shares of common stock (Note 7). The cumulative
effect of the issuance of shares pursuant to the remaining default
warrants and conversion of all Convertible Debt and Preferred Stock
could result in ownership by the Investor Group of approximately 65%
of the Company's total issued and outstanding common stock. The
remaining default warrants are held by St. Paul Trust, as custodian
for the Frank Leonard Laport Rollover Individual Retirement Account
No. 75-49990, and are exercisable at $.01 per share and approximate
130,000 common shares.

(13) FINANCING AGREEMENT - CONTINUED
In August 1996, the Company entered into a Letter Agreement by and
among the Company, Dr. Charles R. Mitchell, a former President of the
Company; the former Consultants to the Company, certain directors of
the Company and the Investor Group. Under the Letter Agreement, the
Series B Preferred Stock was amended to be immediately effective and
Class B Preferred Stock was issued to Amsterdam. The Class B
Preferred Stock entitled Amsterdam to elect a Director to the Board
of Directors of the Company who would have super majority voting
powers. In effect, the Class B director appointed by Amsterdam shall
have the number of votes on the Board of Directors as the current
Board currently holds, plus one vote. The amendment and activation of
the Class B Preferred Stock occurred upon the satisfaction of the
following two conditions: (i) delivery to the Company of a notice,
pursuant to which the Investor Group would convert an aggregate
amount of $700,000 of currently outstanding Convertible Debt and
Preferred Stock into the Company's Common Stock in accordance with
the contractual terms of the Financing Arrangements and (ii) upon the
advance to the Company of an additional $200,000 pursuant to the
Financing Arrangements.
In connection with the issuance of the Class B Preferred Stock, the
provision of additional funding and conversion of debt, the
Consultants and certain directors of the Company agreed to forfeit,
on a pro rata basis, an aggregate amount of 60,000 options and
warrants to purchase the Company's Common Stock.
Pursuant to a Modification Agreement (Modified Agreement) entered
into between the Investor Group and the Company dated July 1, 1997,
the Investor Group agreed, conditioned upon continued listing by the
Company on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market and similar concessions by
another significant Company creditor, to waive all accumulated and
ongoing interest and/or dividends on the Convertible Debt/Preferred
Stock for the period from January 1, 1997 through December 31, 1997.
The Convertible Debt is secured by substantially all assets of the
Company and requires the Company to comply with certain financial and
non-financial debt covenants.
At December 31, 1998, the Company was in violation of certain debt
covenants. As such, the Company has classified the Convertible Debt
as a current liability. To date, the Investor Group has not made
formal claim under the debt covenant violation.
(14) YEAR 2000 ISSUE
Management has developed a plan to modify its information technology
to be ready for year 2000 and has begun converting critical data
processing systems. Management expects the project to be
substantially complete by November, 1999 and incur total expenditures
of approximately $190,000 related to the project. At the discretion
of the Investor Group, the Financing Agreement (Note 13) could
potentially provide funding for these capital expenditures, however,
no assurances can be made.

(15) GOING CONCERN
As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the
Company has incurred recurring losses from operations resulting in
cash flow problems. Additionally, the Company is in default with
regards to the Convertible Debt. To date, the Investor Group has not
demanded payment. These factors raise doubt about the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern.
Management has instituted a cost reduction program, has sold
economically inefficient practices and is emphasizing operational
efficiencies. Management believes if implementation of these actions
is unsuccessful, relief under Chapter 11 of the United States
Bankruptcy Code will be considered as a possibility.
