              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)

                                  June 30, 1999

Note A - Basis of Presentation

     The accompanying  unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for
Omega  Healthcare  Investors,  Inc.  (the  "Company"),  have  been  prepared  in
accordance with generally accepted  accounting  principles 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 generally  accepted  accounting  principles  for complete  financial
statements. In the opinion of management,  all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring  accruals)  considered  necessary  for a fair  presentation  have been
included. Operating results for the three-month and six-month periods ended June
30, 1999, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for
the year  ending  December  31,  1999.  For  further  information,  refer to the
financial  statements  and footnotes  thereto  included in the Company's  annual
report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998.


Note B - Second Quarter Real Estate Investments

     During the second  quarter  of 1999,  a total of $50.2  million of new real
estate  investments were added. A $34.1 million  purchase/leaseback  transaction
was completed with Alterra Healthcare Corporation (formerly known as Alternative
Living  Services),  with $10.6  million of the  purchase  price  deferred  until
certain  conditions  related to  completion  and  occupancy  of  facilities  are
satisfied.  The  transaction  included ten assisted  living  facilities with 361
units,  located in seven states.  The initial  annual rent on the  investment is
$3.54 million and the initial lease term is 14 years.

     An $11.2 million bridge loan due July 19, 1999 was completed  during April.
The loan is secured by a first mortgage lien on three  facilities  with 226 beds
and has an initial annual yield of 10%.

     A  purchase/leaseback  transaction  for $4.9 million was completed with TLC
Health Care,  Inc. in June. The  transaction  was for one facility in Texas with
248 beds.  The initial  lease term is 14 years and the initial  annual  yield is
10.5%.


Note C - Asset Concentrations

     As of June  30,  1999,  89.4%  of the  cost of the  Company's  real  estate
investments  are related to long-term care skilled nursing  facilities,  5.6% to
assisted  living  facilities,  2.2% to  rehabilitation  hospitals,  and  2.8% to
medical office facilities. The Company's healthcare facilities are located in 31


                                       5
<PAGE>

states  and are  operated  by 31  independent  healthcare  operating  companies.
Approximately  72.1% of the Company's  investments  are operated by eight public
companies,  including Sun Healthcare  Group,  Inc.  (24.6%),  Integrated  Health
Services,  Inc. (15.2%),  Advocat Inc. (10.5%),  RainTree Healthcare Corporation
(f.k.a.  Unison  Healthcare  Corporation)  (7.0%),  Mariner  Post-Acute  Network
(5.5%),  Alterra  Healthcare  Corporation  (4.3%) and two other public companies
(5.0%).   The  two  largest  private  operators   represent  6.3%  and  4.2%  of
investments, and no other operator represents more than 3.0% of investments. The
three largest states in which investments are located are Florida (13.9%), Texas
(7.4%) and California (7.1%).


Note D - Other Portfolio Matters

     In the ordinary course of its business activities, the Company periodically
evaluates investment  opportunities and extends credit to customers.  It also is
regularly engaged in lease and loan extensions and  modifications.  Finally,  it
actively  monitors and manages its  investment  portfolio with the objectives of
improving  credit quality and increasing  returns.  In connection with portfolio
management,  it engages in various  collection and foreclosure  activities.  The
Company believes its management has the skills, knowledge and experience to deal
with such issues as may arise from time to time.  Based on management's  current
review of the lease and mortgage  portfolio,  no  provision  for  impairment  of
leased assets or collection losses of mortgage principal are required.

Assets Held For Sale

     During  1998  management  was  authorized  to initiate a plan to dispose of
certain  properties judged to have limited  long-term  potential and to redeploy
the proceeds.  As of June 30, 1999, the carrying value of assets held under plan
for  disposition  total $27.0  million.  During the  three-month  and  six-month
periods ended June 30, 1999, the Company realized  disposition  proceeds of $3.9
million and $6.8  million,  respectively.  Reported net rental  revenues for the
1999 three-month and six-month periods exclude  approximately  $650,000 and $1.3
million, respectively, of income realized from these assets.

Purchase / Prepayment Options

     A  tenant  has  exercised  its  purchase  option  to  acquire  four of five
facilities  leased  from  the  Company,  with a cost of  $15.3  million  and net
carrying amount of $12.7 million. An appraisal process to establish the purchase
price is  currently  underway.  Under the terms of the lease,  the  tenant  must
complete the purchase by October 30, 1999.

     The Company also received notice from a mortgagor that it intends to prepay
a mortgage  balance of  approximately  $26 million  during the third  quarter of
1999.


                                       6

Mortgage Conversion

     On July 14, 1999, the Company acquired 12 nursing homes with 1,259 licensed
beds in lieu of foreclosure  from The Frontier  Group.  The Company has invested
approximately   $67  million  in  seven   Massachusetts   and  five  Connecticut
facilities.  After transfer of the licenses and receipt of  regulatory
approval,  the Company will negotiate lease agreements with one or more new
operators.


Note E - Preferred Stock

     During  1997,  the  Company  issued 2.3  million  shares of 9.25%  Series A
Cumulative  Preferred Stock at $25 per share.  During 1998, the Company issued 2
million shares of 8.625% Series B Cumulative  Preferred  Stock at $25 per share.
Dividends on the preferred  stock are cumulative from the date of original issue
and are payable quarterly.


Note F - Net Earnings Per Share

     Net earnings per share is computed based on the weighted  average number of
common shares  outstanding during the respective  periods.  Diluted earnings per
share amounts  reflect the dilutive  effect of stock options  (12,587 shares and
45,842 shares for the six-month periods in 1999 and 1998, respectively). Assumed
conversion of the Company's 1996 convertible debentures is antidilutive.


Note G - Omega Worldwide, Inc.

     As of June 30,  1999 the Company  holds a  $7,326,000  investment  in Omega
Worldwide,  Inc. ("Worldwide"),  represented by 1,163,000 shares of common stock
and 260,000 shares of Preferred stock.  The Company has guaranteed  repayment of
$25 million of Worldwide  permitted  borrowings  pursuant to a revolving  credit
facility in exchange  for a 1% annual fee and an unused fee of 25 basis  points.
The Company has been advised that at June 30, 1999 no borrowings are outstanding
under  Worldwide's  revolving credit facility.  Additionally,  the Company has a
Services  Agreement with Worldwide which provides for the allocation of indirect
costs incurred by the Company to Worldwide.  The allocation of indirect costs is
based on the  relationship  of assets  under  the  Company's  management  to the
combined total of those assets and assets under Worldwide's management. Indirect
costs allocated to Worldwide for the  three-month  and six-month  periods ending
June 30, 1999 were $196,000 and $394,000, respectively.

                                       7

Note H - Shareholder Rights Plan

     On May 12, 1999, the Company's  Board of Directors  authorized the adoption
of a shareholder  rights plan. The plan is designed to require a person or group
seeking  to  gain  control  of the  Company  to  offer a fair  price  to all the
Company's  shareholders.  The rights  plan will not  interfere  with any merger,
acquisition or business  combination that the Company's Board of Directors finds
is in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders.

     In connection  with the adoption of the rights plan,  the board  declared a
dividend  distribution of one right for each common share outstanding on May 24,
1999.  The rights will not become  exercisable  unless a person  acquires 10% or
more of the Company's  common stock,  or begins a tender offer that would result
in the person  owning 10% or more of the Company's  common stock.  At that time,
each right would  entitle each  shareholder  other than the person who triggered
the rights plan to purchase  either the  Company's  common  stock or stock of an
acquiring  entity  at a  discount  to the then  market  price.  The plan was not
adopted in response to any specific attempt to acquire control of the Company.

Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
          of Operations.

 "Safe Harbor" Statement Under the United States Private  Securities  Litigation
Reform Act of 1995.  Statements contained in this document that are not based on
historical  fact are  "forward-looking  statements"  within  the  meaning of the
Private  Securities  Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  Forward-looking  statements
include statements  regarding the Company's future development  activities,  the
future condition and expansion of the Company's  markets,  the Company's ability
to meet its liquidity requirements and the Company's growth strategies,  as well
as  other  statements  which  may be  identified  by the use of  forward-looking
terminology  such as  "may,"  "will,"  "expect,"  "estimate,"  "anticipate,"  or
similar  terms,  variations  of those  terms  or the  negative  of those  terms.
Statements that are not historical  facts  contained in Management's  Discussion
and Analysis are forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties
that could cause actual  results to differ from projected  results.  Some of the
factors  that could  cause  actual  results to differ  materially  include:  The
financial  strength of the  Company's  facilities  as it affects the  operators'
continuing  ability to meet their  obligations to the Company under the terms of
the  Company's  agreements  with such  operators;  changes in the  reimbursement
levels  under  the  Medicare  and  Medicaid   programs;   operators'   continued
eligibility  to participate  in the Medicare and Medicaid  programs;  changes in
reimbursement  by other third party  payors;  occupancy  levels at the Company's
facilities;  the  availability  and cost of capital;  the strength and financial
resources of the Company's competitors; the Company's ability to make additional
real  estate  investments  at  attractive  yields;  and  changes in tax laws and
regulations affecting real estate investment trusts.

    Following  is a  discussion  of  the  consolidated  results  of  operations,
financial  position and  liquidity and capital  resources of the Company,  which
should be read in conjunction  with the  consolidated  financial  statements and
accompanying notes.


Results of Operations

     Revenues for the  three-month  and six-month  periods  ending June 30, 1999
totaled  $30.8  million  and $60.8  million,  respectively,  an increase of $2.8
million and $6.6 million,  respectively,  over the periods ending June 30, 1998.
The 1999 revenue  growth stems  primarily  from new real estate  investments  of
approximately $244 million during the twelve-month  period ending June 30, 1999,
offset by revenues of  approximately  $5.7  million from assets  identified  for
disposition.  Additionally,  approximately $800,000 of revenue growth stems from
participating  incremental  net revenues which became  effective in 1999.  Total
investments  of $1.15  billion as of June 30,  1999 have an  average  annualized
yield of approximately 11.1%.

     Expenses for the  three-month  and  six-month  periods  ended June 30, 1999
totaled  $17.8  million  and $35.0  million,  respectively,  an increase of $2.6
million and $5.6 million,  respectively,  over expenses for 1998.  The provision
for  depreciation  and  amortization  for the three-month and six-month  periods
ended June 30, 1999 totaled $5,865,000 and $11,460,000, respectively, increasing


                                       9
<PAGE>

$20,000  and  $488,000  over  the same  periods  in 1998.  The  increase  in the
three-month  and  six-month  periods  stems from higher  average  real  property
investments,  partially offset by increases in average depreciable lives of more
recent acquisitions.

     Interest  expense for the three-month and six-month  periods ended June 30,
1999 was $10.4  million  and $20.5  million,  respectively,  compared  with $8.1
million  and $15.7  million,  respectively,  for the same  periods in 1998.  The
increase  in 1999 is  primarily  due to higher  average  outstanding  borrowings
during the 1999 period at slightly lower rates than the same period in the prior
year.

     General and  administrative  expenses  for the  three-month  and  six-month
periods ended June 30, 1999 totaled $1.5 million and $3.0 million, respectively.
These expenses for the three-month and six-month periods were approximately 4.8%
and 4.9% of  revenues,  respectively,  as compared to 4.7% and 4.9% of revenues,
respectively, for the 1998 periods.

     Net  earnings  available  to  common   shareholders  were  $10,602,000  and
$21,019,000  for the three-month  and six-month  periods in 1999,  respectively,
decreasing  approximately  $74,000 and $474,000 from the 1998 periods (excluding
the  non-recurring  gain of $30.2 million in 1998).  The decrease stems from the
factors mentioned above, as well as  non-recognition  of income from assets held
for sale. As a result of the reduction in average  shares  outstanding  from the
share  repurchase  program and the effect of dividends on the Series B Preferred
Stock  issued in 1998,  net earnings per diluted  common  share  (excluding  the
non-recurring  gain in 1998)  remained  constant  at $0.53  for the  three-month
period and decreased from $1.08 to $1.06 for the six-month period.

     Funds from Operations  ("FFO") totaled  $17,235,000 and $34,020,000 for the
three-month and six-month periods ending June 30, 1999, representing an increase
of  approximately  $602,000 and $1,330,000 over the same periods in 1998. FFO is
net earnings  available to common  shareholders,  excluding  any gains or losses
from debt restructuring and the effects of asset dispositions, plus depreciation
and amortization associated with real estate investments and charges to earnings
for non-cash common stock based compensation.

     No  provision  for  Federal  income  taxes has been made since the  Company
intends to  continue  to qualify as a real  estate  investment  trust  under the
provisions of Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal  Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended. Accordingly, the Company will not be subject to Federal income taxes on
amounts distributed to shareholders, provided it distributes at least 95% of its
real estate investment trust taxable income and meets certain other conditions.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

    The Company  continually  seeks new  investments  in healthcare  properties,
primarily long-term care facilities, with the objective of profitable growth and
further  diversification of the investment  portfolio.  Permanent  financing for
future  investments is expected to be provided  through a combination of private
and public  offerings  of debt and equity  securities.  Management  believes the
Company's  liquidity  and various  sources of available  capital are adequate to


                                       10
<PAGE>

finance operations,  fund future investments in additional facilities,  and meet
debt service requirements.

    At June 30, 1999,  the Company has a strong  financial  position  with total
assets of $1.1 billion,  shareholders'  equity of $494.0 million,  and long-term
debt of $381.1 million,  representing approximately 35% of total capitalization.
Long-term debt excludes funds borrowed under its acquisition  credit  agreement.
The Company anticipates maintaining a long-term  debt-to-capitalization ratio of
approximately  40%. The Company has $250 million  available  under its revolving
credit facilities,  of which $206 million was drawn at June 30, 1999. During the
remainder  of 1999,  the  Company  anticipates  receiving  asset  sale  proceeds
approximating  the carrying  value of assets held for sale, and has been advised
that a mortgagor intends to prepay a mortgage of approximately $26 million.

    In February 1997, the Company filed a Form S-4 shelf registration  statement
with the Securities and Exchange  Commission  registering  common stock totaling
$100  million to be issued in  connection  with  future  property  acquisitions.
Additionally, on January 14, 1999, the Company's Form S-3 registration statement
permitting  the  issuance  of  up to  $300  million  related  to  common  stock,
unspecified  debt,  preferred  stock and  convertible  securities  was  declared
effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

    The Company has  demonstrated a strong capacity for timely access of capital
markets and has raised more than $1.2 billion in debt and equity  capital  since
it was organized in 1992.  The Company  raised more than $500 million in equity,
including  $130 million from the initial  public  offering in 1992,  $73 million
from a follow-on  common  stock  offering in 1994,  $165 million from the Health
Equity Properties acquisition in 1994 and three additional offerings,  including
the offering of Series A and Series B Preferred Stock.  Additionally,  over $700
million of debt capital has been  raised,  some of which has been used to retire
secured  borrowings with higher interest rates. In 1996, the Company completed a
placement of $95 million of 8.5% Convertible  Subordinated  Debentures due 2001,
and executed an  agreement to increase its current bank line of credit  facility
by $50 million and to extend the term of the revolving  credit agreement to July
1999. In 1997, the Company issued $57.5 million of Series A Preferred Stock with
a yield of 9.25% and  completed a $100  million  10-year  senior  note  offering
priced to yield  6.99%.  In September  1997,  the Company  completed  the second
amended and  restated  loan  agreement.  The new  agreement  provides  for total
permitted  borrowings  of  up  to  $200  million,   reduces  interest  rates  on
borrowings,  and extends the term of the  agreement to September  2000. In April
1998, the Company issued $50 million of Series B Preferred Stock with a yield of
8.625%.  In June 1998,  the Company  completed a $125 million 4-year senior note
offering  priced  to yield  7.04%.  In March  1999 the  Company  entered  into a
three-year $50 million secured revolving line of credit facility with a bank.

     Cash dividends paid totaled $1.40 per share for the six-month period ending
June 30, 1999,  compared  with $1.34 per share for the same period in 1998.  The
current $.70 per quarter rate  represents an annualized rate of $2.80 per share.
The dividend payout ratio,  that is the ratio of per share amounts for dividends
paid  to  the  diluted  per  share  amounts  of  funds  from   operations,   was
approximately  83.8% for the six-month period ended June 30, 1999, compared with
83.2% for the same period in 1998.  Approximately  50% of incremental  cash flow
from operations is expected to be retained  annually through gradual  reductions


                                       11

in  the  dividend  payout  ratio,  with  such  funds  used  to  fund  additional
investments and provide financial flexibility.

    New  investments  generally are funded from temporary  borrowings  under the
Company's  acquisition  credit line  agreement.  Interest  cost  incurred by the
Company on  borrowings  under its  revolving  credit line  facilities  will vary
depending  upon  fluctuations  in prime and/or LIBOR rates.  With respect to the
unsecured acquisition credit line, interest rates depend in part upon changes in
the Company's  ratings by national  agencies.  Borrowings under the $200 million
facility bear interest at LIBOR plus 1.00% or, at the Company's  option,  at the
prime rate.  Borrowings  under the $50 million  facility  bear interest at LIBOR
plus 2.00% or, at the Company's  option,  at the prime rate. The Company expects
to periodically  replace funds drawn on the revolving credit facilities  through
fixed-rate long-term borrowings, the placement of convertible debentures, or the
issuance of additional  shares of common and/or preferred  stock.  Historically,
the Company's  strategy has been to match the maturity of its indebtedness  with
the maturity of its assets and to employ fixed-rate long-term debt to the extent
practicable.


Year 2000 Compliance

     The Year 2000  compliance  issue concerns the inability of certain  systems
and devices to properly use or store dates beyond  December 31, 1999. This could
result in system failures,  malfunctions, or miscalculations that disrupt normal
operations.  This issue affects most  companies and  organizations  to large and
small  degrees,  at  least  to the  extent  that  potential  exposures  must  be
evaluated.

     The Company is reviewing  risks with regard to the ability of the Company's
own internal operations,  the impact of outside vendors' ability to operate, and
the impact of tenants' ability to operate.  The Company  initially  focused this
review on mission-critical operations,  recognizing that other potential effects
are  expected  to be  less  material.  Based  upon  information  available  from
technology  vendors to date,  the Company does not believe that there are issues
which could have a material  effect upon its operations  with respect to its own
internal  operations,  its technology  infrastructure,  information systems, and
software. In those cases where there are compliance issues, these are considered
to be minor in nature,  and remedies are already  identified.  Expenditures  for
such remedies will not be material.

     With respect to the Company's material outside vendors,  such as its banks,
payroll processor,  and telecommunications  providers,  the Company's assessment
will  cover the  compliance  efforts  of  significant  vendors,  the  effects of
potential non-compliance, and remedies that may mitigate or obviate such effects
as to the  Company's  business  and  operations.  Based upon its  assessment  of
outside vendors,  the Company does not believe that there are issues which could
have a material effect upon its operations.

     With  respect  to the  Company's  tenants, borrowers, and  properties,  the
Company's assessment will cover the tenants'  compliance  efforts,  the
possibility of any interface  difficulties or electromechanical  problems


                                       12
<PAGE>

relating to compliance by material vendors, the effects of potential
non-compliance, and remedies that may mitigate or obviate such effects.  Based
upon  responses  from tenant surveys to date, the Company does not believe that
there are tenant/property-related issues which could have a material effect upon
its operations.

     Because the Company's  evaluation of these issues has been conducted by its
own personnel or by selected  inquiries of its vendors and tenants in connection
with  their  routine  servicing  operations,   the  Company  believes  that  its
expenditures for assessing Year 2000 issues, though difficult to quantify,  have
not been material. In addition, the Company is not aware of any issues that will
require material expenditures by the Company in the future.

     Based upon current information, the Company believes that the risk posed by
foreseeable Year 2000 related problems with its internal systems (including both
information and non-information  systems) is minimal. Year 2000 related problems

with the Company's software  applications and internal  operational programs are
unlikely to cause more than minor disruptions in the Company's operations.  Year
2000 related problems at certain of its third-party  service providers,  such as
its banks, payroll processor,  and  telecommunications  provider,  is marginally
greater,  though, based upon current  information,  the Company does not believe
any such problems would have a material effect on its  operations.  For example,
Year 2000 related problems at such third-party service providers could delay the
processing of financial transactions and the Company's payroll and could disrupt
the Company's internal and external communications.

     The Company believes that the risk posed by Year 2000 related problems with
its tenants is marginally greater,  though, based upon current information,  the
Company does not believe any such problems  would have a material  effect on its
operations.  Year 2000  related  problems at certain  governmental  agencies and
third-party payers could delay the processing of tenant financial  transactions,
though,  based upon current  information,  the Company does not believe any such
problems would have a material  long-term  effect on its  operations.  Year 2000
related  problems  with the  electromechanical  systems  at its  properties  are
unlikely to cause more than minor disruptions.

     The  Company  intends to  implement  identified  remedies,  to  continue to
monitor Year 2000  issues,  and will  develop  contingency  plans if, and to the
extent,  deemed necessary.  However,  based upon current information and barring
developments,  the  Company  does  not  anticipate  developing  any  substantive
contingency plans with respect to Year 2000 issues. In addition, the Company has
no plans to seek independent verification or review of its assessments.

     While the Company  believes that it will be Year 2000 compliant by December
31, 1999,  there can be no  assurance  that the Company  will be  successful  in
identifying and assessing all compliance  issues,  or that the Company's efforts
to remedy all Year 2000 compliance  issues will be effective such that they will
not have a  material  adverse  effect on the  Company's  business  or results of
operations.

                  OMEGA  HEALTHCARE  INVESTORS,  INC.,  a  Maryland  corporation
having its principal  office c/o The Corporation  Trust  Incorporated,  32 South
Street, Baltimore, Maryland 21202 (hereinafter called the "Corporation"), hereby
certifies to the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of Maryland that:

                  FIRST:  The charter of the  Corporation  is hereby  amended by
striking out Section 1. of Article IV in its entirety and inserting in lieu
thereof the following:

                                   ARTICLE IV
                                  CAPITAL STOCK
                                  -------------

                  Section 1. The total  number of shares of capital  stock which
                  the  corporation  shall have authority to issue is One Hundred
                  Ten  Million  (110,000,000),  of  which  One  Hundred  Million
                  (100,000,000)  shall be shares of  Common  Stock  having a par
                  value of $.10 per share and Ten Million  (10,000,000) shall be
                  shares  of  Preferred  Stock  having a par  value of $1.00 per

                  Twenty Million Dollars  ($20,000,000).  Prior to the increase,
                  the aggregate par value of all said shares was Fifteen Million
                  Dollars ($15,000,000).

                  SECOND:  The  board  of  directors  of the  Corporation,  at a
meeting  duly  convened and held on January 19,  1999,  adopted a resolution  in
which was set forth the foregoing  amendment to the charter,  declaring that the
said  amendment to the charter was advisable and directing  that it be submitted
for action  thereon at a meeting of the  stockholders  of the  Corporation to be
held on April 20, 1999.

                  THIRD:  Notice  setting forth the  aforesaid  amendment of the
charter and stating that a purpose of the meeting of the  stockholders  would be

Corporation as  hereinabove  set forth was approved by the  stockholders  of the
Corporation at said meeting by the affirmative vote required by law.

                  FOURTH: (a) The total  number of  shares  of all  classes  of
stock of the Corporation heretofore authorized, and the number and par value of
the shares of each class were as follows.

                           Common Stock              Par Value
                           ------------              ---------

                           50,000,000                $.10 per share


                           Preferred Stock           Par Value
                           ---------------           ---------

                           10,000,000                $1.00 per share


                          (b) The total  number of shares of all classes of
stock of the  Corporation as increased, and the number and par value of the
shares of each class, are as follows:

                          Common Stock              Par Value
                          ------------              ---------

                          100,000,000               $.10 per share


                          Preferred Stock           Par Value
                          ---------------           ---------

                          10,000,000                $1.00 per share


                          (c) The aggregate par value of all shares of all
classes of stock of the Corporation  heretofore authorized was $15,000,000.  The
aggregate  par value of all shares of all classes of stock as  increased by this
amendment  is  $20,000,000.  This  amendment  has the effect of  increasing  the
aggregate par value of all shares of all classes of stock of the  Corporation by
$5,000,000.

                  IN WITNESS WHEREOF,  the Corporation has caused these presents
to be  signed  in its  name  and on its  behalf  by its  Vice-President  and its
corporate seal to be hereunto affixed and attested by its Secretary,

                  THE UNDERSIGNED, Vice-President acknowledges these Articles of
Amendment to be the corporate act of the Corporation and states that to the best
of his knowledge, information and belief the matters and facts set forth therein
with respect to the  authorization and approval thereof are true in all material
