STELLEX INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Organization and Description of Business
Formation of Stellex Industries, Inc. - On September 5, 1997, Stellex Holdings
Corp. was incorporated as a Delaware corporation, which on October 23, 1997
amended its articles of incorporation to change its name to Stellex Industries,
Inc. ("Stellex" or "Stellex Industries"). On September 12, 1997, Stellex issued
1,000 shares of its common stock to Greystoke Capital Management Limited LDC in
exchange for (i) 8,010 shares of common and 84 shares of Series A preferred
stock of KII Holding Corp. ("KII Holdings"), (ii) $50,000 cash and (iii) the
assumption of a $4,000,000 promissory note. KII Holdings had previously been
formed to effect the acquisition of Kleinert Industries and subsidiaries
("Kleinert") on July 1, 1997, as described more fully below. As a result of the
September 12, 1997 transaction, Stellex acquired an 80.1% interest in KII
Holdings; the remaining equity interests are held by certain members of Kleinert
management. The transaction has been accounted for as a reincorporation of KII
Holdings; accordingly, the financial statements of Stellex reflect the results
of its operations commencing with the acquisition of Kleinert in July 1, 1997.
Kleinert is the predecessor of Stellex, and all references to the "Company"
include both Stellex and its predecessor, Kleinert.
Kleinert Acquisition - On July 1, 1997, KII Holdings through a wholly owned
subsidiary (KII Acquisition Corp., a Delaware company) acquired all of the
outstanding capital stock of Kleinert from Kleinert Industries Holding AG. The
acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, and,
accordingly, the net purchase price of approximately $26.5 million (including
the assumption of approximately $2.6 million of indebtedness and the issuance
to the seller of a note for $1.75 million) was allocated to the assets
purchased and the liabilities assumed based upon the fair values at the date of
acquisition. There was no excess purchase price over the fair values of the net
assets acquired in connection with the acquisition. Kleinert's corporate name
was subsequently changed to Stellex Aerospace. Kleinert commenced operations in
1988, and provided management services for its wholly-owned subsidiaries -
Paragon Precision Products ("Paragon"), General Inspection Laboratories, Inc.
("GIL"), Scanning Electron Analysis Laboratories, Inc. ("SEAL"), and Bandy
Machining International ("Bandy").
Paragon specializes in the manufacture of precision aerospace components. GIL
provides non-destructive testing services for inspecting critical parts and
manufactured components. SEAL specializes in materials analysis and problem
solving for government and industry. Bandy manufactures precision hinges, door
panels and hinge assemblies for both aerospace and industrial applications.
TSMD Acquisition - On October 31, 1997, Stellex, through a wholly-owned
subsidiary, TSMD Acquisition Corp., purchased 100% of the outstanding common
stock of Stellex Microwave Systems, Inc. ("Stellex Microwave"), which comprised
the operations of the Tactical Subsystems and Microwave Devices Sectors
("TSMD") of the Watkins-Johnson Company ("Watkins-Johnson"), for a net purchase
price of approximately $82.1 million. The acquisition was accounted for using
the purchase method of accounting with estimated fair value being assigned to
the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The purchase was financed
primarily with the net proceeds from an offering of senior subordinated notes
totaling $92.3 million. Stellex Microwave designs, markets and manufactures a
broad range of microwave devices, modular subsystems and electronic equipment
operating over the RF and microwave frequency bands for sale primarily for
military and aerospace applications.
Monitor Aerospace Acquisition - On May 29, 1998, Stellex Industries, Inc. (the
"Company") acquired Monitor Aerospace Corporation ("Monitor"), a leading
aerospace subcontractor engaged in the manufacture and assembly of
precision-machined structural aircraft components and assemblies for tolerance
critical applications, located in Amityville, New York. Monitor has two wholly
owned subsidiaries, Monitor Aerospace International Corp and Monitor Marine
Products, Inc. The Company's acquisition of Monitor (the "Monitor Acquisition")
was effected pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of April 28,
1998, by and among Stellex Aerospace Holdings, Inc., a subsidiary of the
Company ("SA Holdings"), Soze Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of SA Holdings,
and Monitor. Simultaneously with the acquisition Soze Corp. merged into
Monitor. Stellex's consolidated financial statements herein include the results
of operations of Monitor during the three months and four months ended
September 30, 1998 only.
6
<PAGE>
The purchase price for Monitor was approximately $95.0 million including the
assumption of approximately $26.5 million of debt and excluding transaction and
financing fees and expenses of approximately $5.9 million. The Monitor
Acquisition was financed through (i) borrowings of $95.7 million under the
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of May 29, 1998 ("Credit
Agreement") and (ii) Monitor's issuance of a promissory note to Douglas Monitto
and Lawrence Goldberg, jointly as majority shareholders, in the principal
amount of $5,180,000. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement were comprised of
terms loans in an aggregate principal amount of $90.0 million and revolving
loans of $17.3 million, of which $10.3 million was used to refinance the
existing Company revolver.
The Credit Agreement is comprised of a $115.0 million Term Loan Facility, of
which $25.0 million remains undrawn, and a $35.0 million Revolving Loan
Facility. The Term Loan Facility includes $30.0 million of tranche financing
having a scheduled maturity of December 31, 2003, and $60.0 million of tranche
financing having a scheduled maturity of December 31, 2005. The Revolving Loan
Facility has a scheduled maturity of December 31, 2003.
2. Basis of Presentation
Stellex is a holding company that has no operations or assets separate from its
investments in its subsidiaries. The consolidated balance sheet at September
30, 1998 and the consolidated statements of income and consolidated statements
of cash flows for the periods ended September 30, 1998 include the accounts of
Stellex Microwave and SA Holdings, SA Holdings, consists of Monitor, a wholly
owned subsidiary, and KII Holdings, its 80% owned subsidiary. KII Holdings
consists of Stellex Aerospace and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively,
"Stellex Aerospace"). The company is in the process of completing a purchase
accounting valuation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in its
recent acquisition of Monitor. This valuation is not yet complete and therefore
the balance sheet of Monitor as of September 30, 1998 represents management's
best estimates. Management believes that these estimates will not be materially
different from those, which will result from the completion of the relevant
valuation appraisals in process. The comparative financial statements for the
quarter ended September 30, 1997 are of KII Holdings. All significant
intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation, which were of a
normal and recurring nature, have been included. The results of operations for
any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year.
These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997 and
the Company's Report on Form 8-K dated June 15, 1998 and the Company's report
on Form 8-K/A dated August 13, 1998.
3. Recent Accounting Standards
Effective January 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income." This statement requires
that all items recognized under accounting standards as components of
comprehensive income be reported in an annual financial statement that is
displayed with the same prominence as other annual financial statements. This
Statement also requires that an entity classify items of other comprehensive
income by their nature in an annual financial statement. For example, other
comprehensive income may include foreign currency translation adjustments,
minimum pension liability adjustments, and unrealized gains and losses on
marketable securities classified as available-for-sale. Annual financial
statements for prior periods will be classified, as required. The Company had
no items of other comprehensive income or loss for the three and nine-month
periods ended September 30, 1998.
In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures About Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information". The standard requires that companies
disclose "operating segments" based on the way management disaggregates the
company for making internal operating decisions. The new rules will be
effective for the Company's 1998 fiscal year end.
In February 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 132, "Employers" Disclosures about
Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits," which standardizes the disclosure
requirement for pensions and other postretirement benefits. The implementation
of SFAS No. 132 is not expected to have an impact on the Company's financial
statements. The standard will be effective for the Company for the year ended
December 31, 1998.

Item 2. Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
Coincident with the Monitor Acquisition, Stellex Industries formed a new
subsidiary, SA Holdings, to better organize the Company's machining-related
activities. SA Holdings consists of Monitor, a wholly owned subsidiary, and KII
Holdings, an 80%-owned subsidiary. The following tables segregate the operating
data of the Company into its two operating segments, Stellex Microwave and SA
Holdings, for the three months ended September 30, 1998. Comparative figures
for the three months ended September 30, 1997 are of KII Holdings.

</TABLE>
Net sales
Net sales for Stellex for the quarter ended September 30, 1998 were $49.8
million, which was 459.7% greater than the third quarter of 1997. The
significant increase in net sales came primarily as a result of the
acquisitions of Stellex Microwave ($17.9 million) and Monitor ($23.0 million).
Net sales for SA Holdings, exclusive of Monitor, were $8.9 million, which were
consistent with the third quarter of 1997, but were lower than anticipated due
to customer controlled delays on the X-33 Space Plane and the Space Shuttle
program deliveries. Management anticipates that these units will ship in the
fourth quarter.
Gross margins
Gross margin for Stellex for the quarter ended September 30, 1998 was 27.8%,
which increased from 24.1% in the previous year. KII Holding's gross margin for
1997 was impacted by a $624,000 charge representing the amortization of a
non-recurring purchase accounting adjustment which stepped up the value of
inventory in order to account for net profit in inventory on the date of the
purchase. In excluding this non-recurring adjustment KII Holdings would have
had a recasted gross margin of 31.1% for the quarter ended September 30, 1997
compared to 29.9% for the quarter ended September 30, 1998. The decrease in the
recasted gross margin of 1.2% at KII Holdings was due to start up costs on new
jobs and a slightly unfavorable product mix. The overall increase in gross
margin between periods resulted primarily from the acquisitions of Monitor and
Microwave, which achieved gross margins 20.5% and 36.2% respectively for the
quarter ended September 30, 1998. Monitor's gross margin for the three month
period ended September 30, 1998 was also impacted by non-recurring charges
associated with the amortization of the step up in value of its inventory as a
result of purchase accounting, totaling $800,000 for the quarter. Gross margin
at Microwave benefited from improved productivity, lower manufacturing costs
and improved profitability on the completion of certain programs.
11
<PAGE>
Selling, general and administrative
Selling, general and administrative expenses for Stellex for the third quarter
of 1998 were $5.7 million, which was 261.4% greater than the third quarter of
1997. This increase resulted primarily from the acquisitions of Stellex
Microwave, which incurred $2.3 million of expense, and Monitor, which incurred
$1.3 million of expense during the period. Selling, general and administrative
expenses for KII Holding for the period totaled $2.0 million, which represented
an increase in expense of $900,000 over the third quarter of 1997 after
excluding a non-recurring charge totaling $450,000 for investment banking and
financial advisory fees paid to Mentmore Holdings Corporation, an affiliate of
Stellex, as a result if the Kleinert Acquisition. This increase was due
primarily to incremental non-cash charges of $775,000 relating to the valuation
of management ownership puts plus an increase in compensation expense resulting
from additional managerial hires and computer upgrade consulting costs at
Bandy.
Amortization of intangibles
Amortization of intangible expense for Stellex was $1.5 million which
represents amortization of various intangible assets such as value of workforce
in place, tradename, customer lists and goodwill for the three months ended
September 30, 1998 resulting from the application of purchase accounting to
Stellex Microwave and Monitor in conjunction with their acquisitions.
The purchase price of Monitor will be allocated based on the relative
fair values of the acquired assets and liabilities as of the closing date,
based on valuations and other studies which are near finalization. However, the
Company's management believes that the effects of the final allocation will not
differ materially from those set forth herein.
Interest expense
Interest expense for Stellex was $5.1 million, which was $4.7 million greater
than interest expense in the third quarter of 1997. The significant increase in
interest expense was due to the refinancings that occurred in conjunction with
the Stellex Microwave and Monitor acquisitions.
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and non-cash
charges less interest income ("EBITDA")
EBITDA for Stellex for the third quarter ended September 30, 1998 totaled $10.9
million compared to $2.0 million during 1997. EBITDA for 1998 included
adjustments for non-cash charges made for changes in the value of management put
rights in KII Holdings totaling $775,000, and non-cash, non-recurring charges
relating to the Monitor acquisition totaling $800,000. The increase in EBITDA
over the prior year was a direct result of the acquisitions of Stellex Microwave
and Monitor. EBITDA is provided because it is a measure commonly used in the
defense and aerospace industry to analyze companies on the basis of operating
performance, leverage and liquidity and is presented to enhance the
understanding of operating results. However, EBITDA should not be construed as
an alternative to net income as an indicator of a company's performance, or cash
flow from operations as a measure of a company's liquidity. EBITDA as presented
may be calculated differently and, therefore may not be comparable to similarly
titled measures reported by other companies.
Pro forma results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997
and 1998
The unaudited pro forma consolidated results for the three and nine-month
periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1998 give effect to the acquisition of
Stellex Microwave and Monitor ("Acquisitions") which were acquired on October
31, 1997 and May 29, 1998 respectively. For purposes of the pro forma results
of operations, the Acquisitions are reflected as of January 1, 1997.
Furthermore, the pro forma results of operations below include certain pro
forma adjustments to the predecessor operations of Stellex Aerospace for the
six month period ended June 30, 1997. The pro forma consolidated statements of
operations exclude non-recurring charges directly related to the Acquisitions,
including (i) investment banking and financial advisory fees paid to Mentmore
Holdings Corporation, an affiliate, and (ii) increases in cost of sales arising
from write-up of inventories at the date of consummation of the Acquisitions to
fair market value.
The unaudited pro forma consolidated results have been prepared by management
of the Company and do not necessarily represent the results of the Company's
operations which would have occurred if the Acquisitions had actually taken
place on the date indicated, and may not be indicative of the results of
operations which may be obtainable in the future.

Net sales
Net sales for Stellex Industries were $49.8 million and $154.2 million for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 1998, respectively. Net sales at
Stellex Aerospace were $8.9 million, consistent with the third quarter of 1997,
while sales for the nine months ended September 30,1998 were $27.0 million, a
16.5% increase over 1997. Year to date, net sales grew at Stellex Aerospace as
a result of the strong demand in the commercial aviation market for new
aircraft production, increases in manufacturing requirements for military
aircraft and increased deliveries of turbo-machinery components. Sales were
constant in the third quarter due to customer controlled delays on the X-33
Space Plane and the Space Shuttle.
Stellex Microwave's net sales for the three and nine months ended September 30,
1998 were $17.9 million and $58.2 million, representing decreases of 15.3% and
14.3%, respectively, from net sales levels during the comparable periods in
1997. These decreases were due primarily to 1997 shipments of delinquent orders
arising from production planning problems associated with the poor
implementation of a new production planning software system in 1996 and lower
1998 shipments of receivers due to the completion of certain non-recurring
orders in 1997. During July, Stellex Microwave effected a reorganization its
operations in response to the negative trend experienced in microwave device
orders over the past several months, which resulted in a reduction of workforce
of approximately 12%. The lower third quarter shipments were primarily on the
devices product line. For the tactical subsystems business a reduction in
shipments of AMRAAM subsystems during 1998, based on 1997 end of contract
shipments under certain contracted lots, was more than offset by increased
shipments on the Standard Missile and MFE programs.
Shipments at Monitor Aerospace were $23.0 million and $69.0 million for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 1998, representing increases of 15.8%
and 26.6%, respectively, from net sales levels during the comparable periods in
1997. These increases were due to the stronger commercial aircraft market and
price increases partially offset by lower service sales due to weakness in
Asian markets.
Gross margin
Gross margin for Stellex Industries was 29.4% and 26.4% for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 1998, respectively, compared to gross margin of
23.8% and 23.8% for the comparable periods in 1997. Gross margin at Stellex
Aerospace was 29.9% and 30.4% for the three and nine months ended September 30,
1998, respectively, compared to gross margin of 31.1% and 30.4% for the
comparable periods in 1997. Gross margin decreased at Stellex Aerospace during
the third quarter of 1998 due to start up costs on new jobs and a slightly
unfavorable product mix. For the nine month periods gross margin at Stellex
Aerospace remained constant.
Gross margin for Stellex Microwave was 36.1% and 29.4% for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 1998, respectively, compared to gross margin of
24.9% and 24.3% for the comparable periods in 1997. Gross margin improvement at
Stellex Microwave resulted from improved productivity, lower manufacturing
costs and improved profitability on the completion of certain programs.
13
<PAGE>
Gross margin for Monitor Aerospace was 24.0% and 22.4% for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 1998, respectively, compared to gross margin of
19.2% and 20.5% for the comparable periods in 1997. Gross margin at Monitor
Aerospace increased as a result of increased volume, price increases and
improved operating efficiencies.
Research and development
Research and development costs have increased by $676,000 and $1.7 million for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 1998, respectively, compared to
comparable periods in 1997 due principally to the expansion of engineering
capabilities at Stellex Microwave in order to address new product introductions
and cost reductions in manufacturing and packaging operations.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the consolidated group
increased $1.2 million and $2.4 million to 11.4% and 10.7% of net sales for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 1998, respectively. These increases
were due primarily to incremental non-cash charges of $0.8 million and $2.3
million, respectively, relating to the valuation of management ownership puts
in Stellex Aerospace.
EBITDA before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and non-cash
charges less interest income ("EBITDA")
Earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and non-cash
charges less interest income ("EBITDA") totaled $10.9 million and $30.2 million
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1998, respectively, which was
22.6% and 9.8% better than comparable prior year periods. The increase in EBITDA
came primarily as a result of improved gross margin. EBITDA is provided because
it is a measure commonly used in the defense and aerospace industry to analyze
companies on the basis of operating performance, leverage and liquidity and is
presented to enhance the understanding of operating results. However, EBITDA
should not be construed as an alternative to net income as an indicator of a
company's performance, or cash flow from operations as a measure of a company's
liquidity. EBITDA as presented may be calculated differently and, therefore may
not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
Liquidity and capital resources
Stellex generated cash flows from operations for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998, in the amount of $2.3 million, compared to cash generated
in the amount of $337,400 for the comparable period in 1997. This increase in
cash flows resulted primarily from the acquisitions of Stellex Microwave and
Monitor. As a result of the Monitor acquisition, non-recurring investment fees
relating to the transaction totaling $1.0 million were paid to Mentmore
Holdings Corporation, an affiliate, which negatively impacted net income for
the nine month period ended, September 30, 1998.
Stellex was a net user of cash flows from investing activities for the nine
months ended September 30, 1998, totaling $94.0 million compared to $16.2
million for the comparable period in 1997. Cash flows for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998 relates to the acquisition of Monitor in addition to
maintenance capital expenditures. Cash flows for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 were primarily as a result of the acquisition of Kleinert.
Cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30,
1998 primarily consisted of approximately $96.0 million in borrowings to
finance the acquisition of Monitor. During the nine months ended September 30,
1997, cash provided by financing activities of $16.2 million primarily resulted
from the financing of the Kleinert Acquisition.
Stellex's liquidity demands for the near term will consist of normal levels of
capital expenditure requirements sufficient to accommodate growth in backlog,
working capital needs and debt service funding. Stellex is midway through the
process of upgrading machining equipment at Monitor with the latest in CNC
technology in order to improve manufacturing efficiencies. Capital expenditures
anticipated in the fourth quarter should approximate $2.2 million. Looking ahead
to 1999, the Company anticipates capital expenditures of approximately $7.0
million in order to complete the Monitor equipment upgrade discussed above and
provide for adequate levels of corporate wide maintenance and refurbishment
spend.
The Company's debt service requirements for the last quarter of the year will
include principal reduction payments totaling $900,000 under the term loan
facilities and cash interest payments totaling approximately $7.1 million. Debt
14
<PAGE>
service requirements for 1999 will total $5.4 million of principal repayments,
including the satisfaction of the seller note totaling $1.8 million resulting
from the Kleinert Acquisition, coupled with approximately $17.5 million of cash
interest expense.
Management believes that current levels of operating cash flow and availability
under its revolving credit facility will provide adequate liquidity to Stellex
to satisfy its near term liquidity demands.
The Year 2000 Issue
The Year 2000 problem concerns the inability of information systems to
recognize properly and process date-sensitive information beyond January 1,
2000. Each of the Company's operating subsidiaries face unique issues in their
identification and resolution of problems related to the Year 2000. As a result
the following overview of the impact of the Year 2000 on the Company's
operations is segmented by operating subsidiary.
State of readiness: In November 1997, the company initiated an assessment of
the impact of the Year 2000 issue on its internal operations and began the
development of a plan to bring all of its computer systems into compliance
before the end of 1998.This focus has been on all systems potentially impacted
by the Year 2000 issue, including information technology ("IT") systems and
non-IT systems, such as those with embedded chips and factory floor systems.
Each operating company has responsibility for its own conversion with teams in
place at each operating unit reporting to and monitored by senior management.
At the present time management of KII Holdings and Monitor Aerospace have
completed Year 2000 compliant upgrades to their internal IT systems. Each
company is in the process of completing its assessment of the impact of Year
2000 on its non-IT systems, products and significant vendors and customers. The
initial assessment indicates that the Year 2000 should not significantly affect
these areas. A year 2000 compliant upgrade to the IT systems of Stellex
Microwave is scheduled to be completed by the first half of 1999. Stellex
Microwave has initiated an assessment of the effect of the Year 2000 on its
non-IT systems, vendors and customers and believes that assessment will be
complete in the first quarter of 1999.
Costs to address Year 2000 issues: To date costs to implement and the timeframe
contemplated by management to be Year 2000 compliant are based on management's
best estimates. To date costs are estimated to be at $500,000, with estimated
costs to completion of $600,000 not expected to have a material impact on the
Company's future financial results.
Risks associated with Year 2000 issue: The company believes there is low risk
of any internal critical system, embedded system, or other critical asset not
being Year 2000-ready by the end of 1999. The company continues to assess its
risk exposure attributable to external factors, suppliers and customers. With
respect to outside parties, those parties, who have been contacted, have
indicated that their hardware, software and related non-IT systems are
currently or will be Year 2000 complaint within the 1999 calendar year.
Evaluations of these issues is continuing and there can be no assurance that
additional issues, not presently known to the Company, will be discovered which
could present a material risk of disruption to the Company's operations. Such
disruptions could result in delays in the delivery or sale of products.
Contingency plans for suppliers, customers and mission critical systems
impacted by Year 2000 issues are currently under development and are expected
to be completed in the first quarter of 1999.
Recent accounting standards
Effective January 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income." This statement requires
that all items recognized under accounting standards as components of
comprehensive income be reported in an annual financial statement that is
displayed with the same prominence as other annual financial statements. This
Statement also requires that an entity classify items of other comprehensive
income by their nature in an annual financial statement. For example, other
comprehensive income may include foreign currency translation adjustments,
minimum pension liability adjustments, and unrealized gains and losses on
marketable securities classified as available-for-sale. Annual financial
statements for prior periods will be classified, as required. The Company had
no items of other comprehensive income or loss for the three and nine-month
periods ended September 30, 1998.

In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures About Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information". The standard requires that companies
disclose "operating segments" based on the way management disaggregates the
company for making internal operating decisions. The new rules will be
effective for the Company's 1998 fiscal year end.
In February 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 132, "Employers" Disclosures about
Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits," which standardizes the disclosure
requirement for pensions and other postretirement benefits. The implementation
of SFAS No. 132 is not expected to have an impact on the Company's financial
statements. The standard will be effective for the Company for the year ended
December 31, 1998.
