TBA ENTERTAINMENT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. THE COMPANY AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
TBA Entertainment Corporation and subsidiaries (collectively, the
"Company"), is a diversified communications and entertainment company that
produces a broad range of business communications, meeting production and
entertainment services for corporate meetings, develops and produces
integrated music marketing programs, manages music industry artists and
develops and executes merchandising programs for entertainment and sporting
events.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not
include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete year-end financial statements. The
accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
more detailed financial statements and related footnotes included in the
Company's Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1998.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal
recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the
financial position of the Company as of June 30,1999, and the results of its
operations and cash flows for the three and six month periods ended June 30,
1999 and 1998, respectively, have been included. Operating results for the
three and six months ended June 30, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of
the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31,
1999.
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the 1999
presentation. Such reclassifications had no impact on the Company's 1998 net
income.
2. NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings
per common share:

3. INVESTMENT IN JOINT VENTURE
The Company owns a 50% interest in a joint venture with Warner Custom Music
Corp. The joint venture, Warner/TBA, develops and coordinates live,
sponsored music entertainment marketing tours and programs, and related
projects, and generates revenues primarily from third party corporate
sponsorships. Warner/TBA recognizes revenue by amortizing the contract
sponsorship funds over the life of the related programs, which may range
from single day events to tours lasting several months.
The Company accounts for the investment using the equity method of
accounting. Summary unaudited statements of operations data of Warner/TBA
are as follows:

4. 1999 ACQUISITION
On March 17, 1999, the Company acquired 100% of the common stock of Karin
Glass & Associates, Inc. and affiliated companies (collectively, "KGA"), for
a maximum purchase price of approximately $3,200,000. The purchase price
paid at closing included a cash payment of $2,300,000 and the issuance of
221,500 shares of common stock of the Company valued at $900,000. The
purchase price paid at closing is subject to reduction based on the earnings
of KGA during each of the years 1999 and 2000. The sellers pledged their
shares of common stock of the Company as collateral during the earn-out
period. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting and, accordingly, the purchase price has been allocated to the
assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair
values on the date of acquisition.
5. COMMON STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM
In August 1998, the board of directors authorized the repurchase, at
management's discretion, of up to 1,000,000 shares of the Company's common
stock until August 1999. The Company's repurchases of shares of common stock
are recorded as treasury stock and result in a reduction of stockholders'
equity. During the six months ended June 30,1999, the Company repurchased
414,100 shares of its common stock for total consideration of $1,912,700
pursuant to the stock repurchase program.
6. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities." Under the statement, every derivative
is recorded on the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at
its fair value. Changes in the derivative's fair value will be recognized in
earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. This Statement
is effective for all reporting periods ending after June 15, 2000. The
Company is currently analyzing the Statement to determine the impact, if
any, on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
The purpose of the following discussion and analysis is to explain the major
factors and variances between periods of the Company's financial condition and
results of operations. The following discussion of the Company's financial
condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the
historical consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the
Company's 1998 Form 10-KSB.
INTRODUCTION
The Company is a diversified communications and entertainment services company
that produces a broad range of business communications, meeting production and
entertainment services for corporate meetings, develops and produces integrated
music
7
<PAGE> 8
marketing programs and special events, manages music artists and develops and
executes merchandising programs for large-scale entertainment and sporting
events.
In April 1997, the Company acquired its first corporate communications and
entertainment company, TBA Entertainment Group Nashville, Inc., formerly Avalon
Entertainment Group, Inc. ("AEG"), including a 50% interest in the Warner/TBA
(formerly Warner/Avalon) joint venture. In 1998, the Company grew its operations
through the acquisition of several additional corporate communications and
entertainment services businesses, including Titley Spalding & Associates, LLC
("TSA"), TBA Entertainment Group Chicago, Inc., formerly Corporate Productions,
Inc, ("CPI"), Corporate Incentives, Inc. ("CII"), TBA Entertainment Group
Phoenix, Inc., formerly Image Entertainment Productions, Inc. ("Image"), TBA
Entertainment Group Dallas, Inc., formerly Magnum Communications, Inc.
("Magnum"), and TKS Marketing, Inc. ("TKS") (collectively, the " 1998
Acquisitions"). In 1999, the Company also completed the acquisition of Karin
Glass & Associates, Inc. and affiliated companies (collectively, "KGA").
GENERAL
The Company currently derives a majority of its revenues (69% for the six months
ended June 30, 1999 versus 96% for the six months ended June 30, 1998) from the
production of business communications and entertainment events for corporate
clients. The Company works with its clients to develop creative programming to
deliver messages to the client's targeted audiences. The Company receives a fee
for providing these services, which may include developing creative content,
designing audio/visual presentations and arranging for live entertainment and
related production services, including lights and sound. Revenue is recognized
when the services are completed for each event. Costs of producing the events
are also deferred until the event occurs.
The remainder of the Company's revenues are generated from event merchandising
(23% for the six months ended June 30, 1999 versus 1% for the six months ended
June 30, 1998) artist management (5% for the six months ended June 30, 1999
versus 3% for the six months ended June 30, 1998), and entertainment marketing
(3% for the six months ended June 30, 1999 versus 0% for the six months ended
June 30, 1998). Event merchandising revenue is recognized when the merchandise
is shipped or sold to the customer. Cost of sales includes the direct cost of
acquiring or producing the merchandise. Artist management revenue, which
generally consists of commissions received from artists' earnings, is recognized
in the period in which the artist earns the revenue. There are generally only
minimal direct costs associated with generating artist management revenue.
Entertainment marketing revenues and cost of revenues are recognized when the
services are completed for each program or, for those programs with multiple
events, apportioned to each event and recognized as each event occurs.
The Company also develops and produces entertainment marketing programs and
special events through a 50% interest in Warner/TBA, a joint venture with an
affiliate of Time Warner. The Company accounts for these activities using the
equity method of accounting.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
COMPARISON OF THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 AND 1998
Results of operations of each of the 1998 Acquisitions and the KGA acquisition
are included from the corresponding acquisition dates.
Revenues increased $14,496,600, or 204%, to $21,612,900 in the 1999 period from
$7,116,300 in the 1998 period. $8,116,200 of the increase resulted from the
production of 130 additional corporate meeting and entertainment events, to 256
events in the 1999 period compared to 126 events produced in the 1998 period.
The increase in the number of shows is primarily attributable to the
acquisitions of CPI, Image and Magnum, which occurred in the third and fourth
quarters of 1998. The average revenue per event increased to approximately
$58,000 in the 1999 period from $54,000 in the 1998 period. The Company is
aggressively pursuing larger corporate meeting and entertainment events with
Fortune 1000 companies.
Event merchandising revenues increased $4,952,700 for the 1999 period from the
1998 period, due to the addition of merchandising activities through the
acquisition of CII (August 1998) and KGA (March 1999). The Company did not have
significant merchandising activities in the first six months of 1998. Artist
management revenues increased $903,500 for the 1999 period from the 1998 period.
The increase results from the addition of six artists to the Company's artist
management roster. The addition of three of these artists resulted from the
acquisition of TSA, which occurred in June 1998. The remaining revenue increase
of
8
<PAGE> 9
$524,200 results from record royalties associated with the Company's
comprehensive pay per view entertainment marketing program, For the Record. In
the 1998 period, all entertainment marketing programs were executed through the
Warner/TBA joint venture, which is accounted for using the equity method of
accounting.
Cost of revenues increased $9,514.500, or 197%, to $14,345,000 for the 1999
period from $4,830,500 for the 1998 period. The increase resulted primarily from
the production of additional corporate meeting and entertainment events and the
addition of merchandising activities discussed above. Cost of revenues as a
percentage of revenues decreased to 66% for the 1999 period from 68% for the
1998 period. The decrease results primarily from the increase in artist
management revenues which typically have minimal direct costs.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $3,312,700, or 149%, to
$5,537,700 for the 1999 period from $2,225,000 for the 1998 period. The increase
results primarily from increased personnel and related operating expenses
associated with the increased number of corporate entertainment and meeting
planning events, as well as selling, general and administrative expenses
associated with the 1998 Acquisitions and the KGA acquisition. The increase is
further explained by increased personnel and related expenses incurred to
develop an administrative and accounting infrastructure to manage the Company's
growth during the past Year.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased $698,200, or 453%, to $852,400
for the 1999 period from $154,200 for the 1998 period. The increase results
primarily from the amortization of goodwill and depreciation of property and
equipment associated with the 1998 Acquisitions and the KGA acquisition.
Equity income from the Company's 50% joint venture interest in Warner/TBA
decreased to a loss of $38,000 for the 1999 period from income of $380,800 for
the 1998 period. Revenues for Warner/TBA increased $612,200 or 13% over the 1998
period. The increase in revenue for the 1999 period was a result of sponsorship
and client fees for the June 1999 Rockfest event offset by the cancellation of
the 1999 NBA All-Star Game. Operating costs for Warner/TBA, including general
and administrative expenses, increased 1,450,200 over the 1998 period. Net
income for Warner/TBA decreased due to higher 1999 talent costs associated with
a major client tour, the cancellation of the 1999 NBA All-Star Game and lower
than expected sales for the June 1999 Rockfest.
For the 1999 period, net interest income was $237,400 versus net interest
expense of $93,400 for the 1998 period. The change is attributable primarily to
interest earned on increased cash balances resulting from proceeds from the sale
of discontinued businesses and offset by increased outstanding debt associated
with the 1998 Acquisitions.
The provision for income taxes, as a percentage of income from continuing
operations before income taxes, is 39% for the 1999 period, which reflects
statutory tax rates adjusted for estimated book/tax differences. There was no
provision for income taxes for the 1998 period, as the Company had net operating
loss carryforwards available to offset taxable income.
Net income from continuing operations increased $427,100, to $657,100 for the
1999 period from $230,000 for the 1998 period due to the reasons described
above.
COMPARISON OF THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 AND 1998
Results of operations of each of the 1998 Acquisitions and the KGA acquisition
are included from the corresponding acquisition dates.
Revenues increased $7,441,300, or 254%, to $10,368,100 in the 1999 period from
$2,926,800 in the 1998 period. $3,952,400 of the increase resulted from the
production of 74 additional corporate meeting and entertainment events, to 124
events in the 1999 period compared to 50 events produced in the 1998 period. The
increase in the number of shows is primarily attributable to the acquisitions of
CPI, Image and Magnum, which occurred in the third and fourth quarters of 1998.
The average revenue per event remained constant at $54,000 for both periods.
Event merchandising revenues increased $2,791,200 for the 1999 period from the
1998 period, due to the addition of merchandising activities through the
acquisition of CII (August 1998) and KGA (March 1999). The Company did not have
significant merchandising activities in the second quarter of 1998. Artist
management revenues increased $470,800 for the 1999 period from the 1998 period.
The increase results from the addition of six artists to the Company's artist
management roster. The addition of three of these artists resulted from the
acquisition of TSA, which occurred in June 1998. The remaining revenue increase
of
9
<PAGE> 10
$226,900 results from continuing record royalties associated with the Company's
comprehensive pay per view entertainment marketing program, For the Record. In
the 1998 period, all entertainment marketing programs were executed through the
Warner/TBA joint venture, which is accounted for using the equity method of
accounting.
Cost of revenues increased $4,865,600, or 238%, to $6,912,400 for the 1999
period from $2,046,800 for the 1998 period. The increase resulted primarily from
the production of additional corporate meeting and entertainment events and the
addition of merchandising activities discussed above. Cost of revenues as a
percentage of revenues decreased to 67% for the 1999 period from 70% for the
1998 period. The decrease results primarily from the increase in artist
management revenues which typically have minimal direct costs.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $1,535,200, or 138%, to
$2,648,300 for the 1999 period from $1,113,100 for the 1998 period. The increase
results primarily from increased personnel and related operating expenses
associated with the increased number of corporate entertainment and meeting
planning events, as well as selling, general and administrative expenses
associated with the 1998 Acquisitions and the KGA acquisition. The increase is
further explained by increased personnel and related expenses incurred to
develop an administrative and accounting infrastructure to manage the Company's
growth during the past year.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased $382,000, or 396%, to $478,400
for the 1999 period from $96,400 for the 1998 period. The increase results
primarily from the amortization of goodwill and depreciation of property and
equipment associated with the 1998 Acquisitions and the KGA acquisition.
Equity income from the Company's 50% joint venture interest in Warner/TBA
decreased to $118,900 from $290,300 for the 1998 period. Revenues for Warner/TBA
increased $2,429,000, or 91%, over the 1998 period. Operating costs of
Warner/TBA, including general and administrative expenses, increased to
$4,869,200 for the 1999 period from $2,097,000 for the 1998 period. The increase
in revenue for the 1999 period was a result of increased sponsorship and client
fees for the June 1999 Rockfest event versus the 1998 Country Fest event.
Operating costs for Warner/TBA increased $2,772,200 over the 1998 period. Net
income from Warner/TBA decreased due to higher 1999 talent costs associated with
a major client tour and lower than expected sales for the June 1999 Rockfest
event.
For the 1999 period, net interest income was $91,100 versus net interest expense
of $47,900 for the 1998 period. The change is attributable primarily to interest
earned on increased cash balances resulting from proceeds from the sale of
discontinued businesses and offset by increased outstanding debt associated with
the 1998 Acquisitions.
The provision for income taxes, as a percentage of income from continuing
operations before income taxes, is 39% for the 1999 period, which reflects
statutory tax rates adjusted for estimated book/tax differences. There was no
provision for income taxes for the 1998 period, as the Company had net operating
loss carryforwards available to offset taxable income.
Net income from continuing operations increased $379,900, to net income of
$328,800 for the 1999 period from a net loss of $51,100 for the 1998 period due
to the reasons described above.
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Prior to 1998, the Company acquired and operated certain businesses that were
sold in 1998. These businesses included the Nashville Country Club restaurant
(opened in November 1994 and sold in December 1998), the Village at Breckenridge
Resort (the "Breckenridge Resort") (acquired in April 1996 and sold in August
1998) and a 51% controlling interest in a group of entertainment companies
(collectively referred to as "AWC") involved in concert promotion and
amphitheater operations (acquired in July 1997 and sold in May 1998). The sale
of these businesses has resulted in the reclassification of the operating
results of these businesses to discontinued operations for the three and six
months ended June 30, 1998, in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles.
In May 1998, the Company sold its 51% controlling interest in AWC to SFX
Entertainment, Inc. As a result, the Company recognized a gain from the sale of
AWC in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1998 of $1,245,400. In
August 1998, the Company sold the Breckenridge Resort to Vail Summit Resorts,
Inc.("Vail"). Pursuant to the sale agreement, $3,000,000 of the sales proceeds
that were being held in escrow until the consummation of certain other
transactions between Vail and an unaffiliated third party developer, were
released to the Company in April 1999. As a result, the Company recognized a
gain from the sale of the Breckenridge Resort in the six months ended June 30,
1999 of $479,200, net of income taxes of $399,600.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of June 30, 1999, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $13,528,900
and working capital of $11,483,600 including $1,282,200 of current portion of
long-term debt. Cash provided by continuing operations was $337,600 for the
first six months of 1999 compared to cash provided by continuing operations of
$1,573,600 for the 1998 period. In the 1999 period, net income from continuing
operations plus depreciation and amortization and less equity in loss (income)
of Joint Venture provided $1,547,500 of operating cash flow, versus $3,400 of
operating cash flow in the 1998 period. In the 1999 period, the net change in
working capital used $1,209,900 of operating cash flow, with a decrease in
accounts receivable and an increase in deferred revenue offset by an increase in
deferred charges and other current assets, and decreases in accounts payable and
other accrued liabilities. In the 1998 period, the net change in working capital
provided $1,570,200 of operating cash flow, with increases in deferred revenue,
and accounts payable and accrued liabilities offset by increases in accounts
receivable and deferred charges and other current assets.
Cash provided by investing activities for the first six months of 1999 was
$4,000 resulting primarily from cash received from the sale of the Breckenridge
Resort offset by cash used for the KGA acquisition and expenditures for property
and equipment. Cash provided by investing activities for the 1998 period was
$7,767,100 and resulted primarily from the sale of AWC offset by cash used for
the TSA acquisitions and expenditures for property and equipment.
Cash used in financing activities for the first six months of 1999 and 1998 was
$2,396,500 and $1,017,700, respectively, resulting from the purchase of treasury
shares pursuant to the Company's stock repurchase program and the repayment of
borrowings.
The Company has pursued an aggressive growth strategy since its formation in
1993. From the Company's inception through December 31, 1997, the Company
acquired and operated certain businesses that were sold in 1998. These
businesses included the Nashville Country Club restaurant (opened in November
1994 and sold in December 1998), the Breckenridge Resort (acquired in April 1996
and sold in August 1998) and AWC (acquired in July 1997 and sold in May 1998).
The Company relied on external sources of funds, including public offerings of
its common stock and bank borrowings, to finance the acquisition of these
businesses and to fund the general operations of the Company. In 1997, the
Company began to focus its growth strategy on the acquisition of entertainment
services companies. To finance this growth strategy, the Company sought to
divest itself of its capital intensive resort and amphitheater operations. In
1998, the Company realized net proceeds of $19,393,800 from the sale of these
businesses, after repayment of borrowings associated with these businesses and
applicable transaction costs. In April 1999, the Company received an additional
$3,000,000 of net proceeds from the sale of the Breckenridge Resort that were
held in escrow, as of December 31, 1998, pending the consummation of certain
transactions involving the Breckenridge Resort.
In April 1997, the Company acquired its first corporate communications and
entertainment services business (AEG) for aggregate consideration of $3,211,000,
including transaction related costs. The primary sources of fund for the AEG
acquisition were operating cash flows and the issuance of $2,480,000 of notes
payable to the sellers of AEG ("AEG Notes"). In November 1997, the Company
borrowed $2,600,000 from a bank, the proceeds of which were used to repay
$1,980,000 of the AEG Notes. In the first quarter of 1998, the Company repaid
the remaining $500,000 of AEG Notes.
Subsequent to the first quarter of 1998, the Company acquired five additional
entertainment related businesses for total consideration paid at closing of
$12,406,700, including applicable transaction costs. The total purchase price
paid at closing included cash payments of $5,427,000, including transaction
costs, 956,000 shares of common stock of the Company valued at $4,071,700 and
the issuance of $2,908,000 of aggregate value of notes payable ("Acquisition
Notes"). The Company utilized a portion of the net proceeds from the sale of
certain businesses described above to fund the cash portion of the purchase
price for the 1998 Acquisitions.
The Acquisition Notes are payable in various installments of principal plus
accrued interest at 8% through August 2004. Acquisition Notes totaling $458,000
are subject to reduction based on the earnings of Image for the years 1999 and
2000. During 1998 and continuing through a portion of 2003 (the "Earn-out
Period"), the sellers of TSA and TKS will be paid additional purchase price
consideration based on the earnings of TSA and TKS during each of the years in
the Earn-out Period, up to a maximum of $6,380,000 additional purchase price.
The additional purchase price for 1998 related to TSA, totaling $546,500 was
paid entirely in cash in April 1999. Subsequent to 1998, the additional purchase
price for TSA and TKS will be paid 60% in cash and 40% in notes payable which
are payable in semi-annual installments with 8% interest over a five-year
period.

<PAGE> 12
The Company expects to continue its aggressive growth strategy in certain
sectors of the entertainment industry. In March 1999, the Company acquired Karin
Glass & Associates, Inc. and affiliated companies (collectively, "KGA") for a
maximum purchase price of $3,200,000. The purchase price paid at closing
included a cash payment of $2,300,000 and the issuance of 221,500 shares of
common stock of the Company valued at $900,000. The purchase price is subject to
reduction based on the earnings of KGA during each of the years 1999 and 2000.
The Company anticipates that future business acquisitions made by the Company
will also be completed through a combination of cash, notes payable issued to
the sellers and the issuance of common stock of the Company to the sellers.
In 1998, the Company's board of directors authorized the repurchase of up to
1,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock until August 1999. As of December
31, 1998, the Company had repurchased 196,700 shares of common stock for total
consideration of $724,500. In the first six months of 1999, the Company
repurchased an additional 414,100 shares of common stock for total consideration
of $1,912,700. The Company utilized proceeds from the sale of businesses and
cash flow from operations to fund the repurchases of common stock.
Management believes that cash flow from operations and remaining proceeds from
the sale of AWC, the Breckenridge Resort and the Nashville Country Club
restaurant, will be adequate to fund the operations and the expansion plans of
the Company in 1999. In addition, to provide any additional funds necessary for
the continued pursuit of the Company's growth strategies, the Company may issue
additional equity and debt securities and may incur, from time to time,
additional short- and long-term bank indebtedness. The availability and
attractiveness of any outside sources of financing will depend on a number of
factors, some of which relate to the financial condition and performance of the
Company, and some of which will be beyond the Company's control, such as
prevailing interest rates and general economic conditions. There can be no
assurance that such additional financing will be available or, if available,
will be on terms acceptable to the Company. To the extent that the Company is
able to finance its growth through internal and external sources of capital, the
Company intends to continue to grow its operations through additional
acquisitions. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to acquire
any additional businesses, that any businesses that are acquired will be or will
become profitable or that the Company will be able to effectively integrate any
such businesses into its existing operations.
OTHER CONSOLIDATED ITEMS
As of the end of 1998, the Company had fully utilized substantially all net
operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes. Pursuant to Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, the Company has recognized a current
deferred tax asset for the effect of temporary differences between the carrying
amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and amounts
used for income tax purposes.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities." Under the statement, every derivative is recorded on
the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value.
Changes in the derivative's fair value will be recognized in earnings unless
specific hedge accounting criteria are met. This Statement is effective for all
reporting periods ending after June 15, 2000. The Company is currently
analyzing the Statement to determine the impact, if any, on the Company's
financial position or results of operations.
YEAR 2000
Many currently installed computer systems, hardware and software products
("Computer Applications") are coded to accept only two digit entries rather than
four digits to define the applicable year. Consequently, these Computer
Applications may not be able to properly recognize dates beginning with the year
2000 which could result in miscalculations or system failures. As a result, many
companies' Computer Applications may need to be upgraded or replaced in order to
comply with "Year 2000" requirements.
The Company's Computer Applications consist of both internal systems and systems
provided by third parties. The Company believes that its Computer Applications
are Year 2000 compliant because the Company purchased such Computer Applications
during 1998 and 1999 from suppliers that represented them to be Year 2000
compliant.
A comprehensive program is in place to remediate potential Year 2000 issues in
purchased software and hardware, as well as noninformation technology (IT)
systems. The program is divided into four phases:
1. complete inventory of IT and non-IT systems that may be sensitive to the
Year 2000 issue
2. assessment of systems to determine Year 2000 compliance
3. remediate non-compliant systems by repair or replacement
4. testing of remediated systems
12
<PAGE> 13
The inventory and assessment phases were completed by the end of 1998. The
Company anticipates completing the remediation and testing phases by the end of
the third quarter of 1999. While the Company's Year 2000 conversion is expected
to be completed prior to any potential disruption to the Company's business, the
Company acknowledges the uncertainties involved in preparing its system for the
Year 2000. As such, the Company is developing a comprehensive Year 2000 specific
contingency plan.
However, there can be no assurance that the Company will identify all
susceptible systems or that systems provided by third parties will be Year 2000
compliant or that any resulting Year 2000 issues would not have an adverse
effect on the operations of the Company.
The Company has not incurred any significant costs to date that are specifically
attributable to resolving the Year 2000 issue and does not estimate the future
costs related to the resolution of this matter to be material.
