          non-US operating assets, representing tax at 35% on the excess of
          proceeds over the aggregate tax basis of the businesses sold of
          approximately $67 million.

          The proforma condensed consolidated balance sheet includes an
estimated non-recurring after-tax gain of $52.7 million on the divestiture. The
estimated after-tax gain has been intentionally omitted from the proforma
condensed consolidated statements of operations and is subject to finalization.

3. UNAUDITED PROFORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS FOR THE
YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 1998

          The adjustments to the proforma condensed consolidated statement of
operations represent transaction costs of $1.15 million, which represent
non-recurring costs incurred directly related to the Transaction and the
associated tax effect at a rate of 41%.

          The consolidated proforma effective tax rate of 23% is due to the
non-recurring tax benefits recorded in the year ended June 30, 1998 relating to
the loss on sale of assets held for sale. The expected on-going effective rate
is approximately 41%.

          The anticipated post-tax gain on the sale of the Company's non-US
operating assets is not reflected in the proforma condensed consolidated
statement of operations. Similarly, anticipated income relating to the
investment of the sale proceeds is excluded.

          There has been no apportionment of corporate overhead to the results
of PMSI's non-US operating assets. Such an allocation would have increased the
reported operating loss of the businesses disposed.
