Note A - General organization:
Preferred Voice, Inc. (the "Company") is a Delaware corporation
incorporated in 1992. On February 25, 1997, the Company's stockholders approved
changing the name of the Company to better reflect the nature of the Company's
business. The Company commenced business on May 13, 1994, and was in the
development stage until August 1, 1995. The Company provides products and
services to the telecommunications industry throughout the United States and
maintains its principal offices in Dallas, Texas. The Company has not presented
financial statements for the period from incorporation in 1992 through May 13,
1994, as the Company did not begin its planning and organizational activities
until May 13, 1994. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Certain
prior year amounts have been reclassified for comparison purposes.
Note B - Summary of significant accounting policies:
Cash and cash equivalents
-------------------------
For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include
amounts due from banks.
Accounts receivable
-------------------
In the normal course of business, the Company extends unsecured credit to
its customers with payment terms generally 30 days. Because of the credit risk
involved, management has provided an allowance for doubtful accounts which
reflects its opinion of amounts which will eventually become uncollectible. In
the event of complete nonperformance by the Company's customers, the maximum
exposure to the Company is the outstanding accounts receivable balance at the
date of nonperformance.
Depreciation
------------
The cost of property and equipment is depreciated over the estimated useful
lives of the related assets. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line
method for financial reporting purposes and the double declining method for
income tax purposes.
Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations when incurred.
Betterments and renewals are capitalized.
The useful lives of property and equipment for purposes of computing
depreciation are as follows:
Computer equipment 5 years
Furniture and fixtures 5 years
Office equipment 5 years
Software development 3 years
Income taxes
------------
Income taxes are accounted for using the liability method under the
provisions of SFAS 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes".

<PAGE>
Fair value of financial instruments
-----------------------------------
The Company defines the fair value of a financial instrument as the amount
at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between
willing parties. Financial instruments included in the Company's financial
statements include cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, other
receivables, other assets, notes payable and long-term debt. Unless otherwise
disclosed in the notes to the financial statements, the carrying value of
financial instruments is considered to approximate fair value due to the short
maturity and characteristics of those instruments. The carrying value of
long-term debt approximates fair value as terms approximate those currently
available for similar debt instruments.
Revenue recognition
-------------------
The Company is engaged as a provider of telecommunication products and
services. Generally, the Company recognizes revenue under the accrual method
when its services and products are provided. During the nine month period ended
December 31, 1999, license fees and system sales were the two primary sources of
revenue, even though there were revenues from distributor fees and customer
tests. A one-time only license fee is paid by customers who purchase the
Company's VIP system. This gives the customer the right to utilize the Company's
software applications on the customer's own equipment. The license fee income
was derived from one major customer and was recognized when the contract became
final. The license fee income was $-0-, and $570,000 for the three month and the
nine month period ended December 31, 1999, respectively; and $-0- and $-0-for
the three month and the nine month period ended December 31, 1998, respectively
and $-0- for the period ended March 31, 1999. System sales revenues are
recognized when the customer accepts the system, which is usually within five
days from delivery and installation. The system sale income was $-0-, and
$195,496 for the three month and the nine month period ended December 31, 1999,
respectively; and $-0- and $-0-for the three month and the nine month period
ended December 31, 1998, respectively and -0- for the period ended March 31,
1999. A one-time only distributor fee is paid by master distributors in order to
obtain distribution rights to the Company's products and services. The
distributor fee income was recognized when the contract became final. The
distributor fee income was $-0-, and $25,000 for the three month and the nine
month period ended December 31, 1999, respectively; and $-0- and $-0-for the
three month and the nine month period ended December 31, 1998, respectively and
170,000 for the period ended March 31, 1999.
Loss per share
--------------
The Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 128, Earnings per Share, during the year ended March 31,
1998. SFAS No. 128 reporting requirements replace primary and fully- diluted
earnings per share (EPS) with basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is calculated by
dividing net income (available to common stockholders) by the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the
potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue
common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. The adoption of SFAS
128 did not affect per share amounts for 1997 as previously reported.
Loss per share is based on the weighted average number of shares
outstanding of 11,152,246 and 10,390,308 for the three months and nine months
ending December 31, 1999, respectively; 7,659,740 and 6,544,100 for the three
months and nine months ending December 31, 1998, respectively and 7,205,065 for
the period ending March 31, 1999.
Amortization
------------
Fees and other expenses associated with the issuance of subordinated
convertible debentures are being amortized on the straight-line method over the
term of the debentures beginning in April, 1995. Amortization expense was $-0-
and $-0- for the three months and nine months ended December 31, 1999,
respectively; and $-0- and $2,869 for the three months and nine months ended
December 30, 1998, respectively; and $2,869 for the fiscal year ended March 31,
1999.

Transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishment of liabilities
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
In June 1996, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 125,
Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of
Liabilities. SFAS No. 125 is effective for transfers and servicing of financial
assets and extinguishment of liabilities occurring after December 31, 1996, and
is to be applied prospectively. This statement provides accounting and reporting
standards for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishment of
liabilities based on consistent application of a financial-components approach
that focuses on control. It distinguishes transfers of financial assets that are
sales from transfers that are secured borrowings. Adoption of this statement did
not have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of
operations or liquidity.
Impairment of long-lived assets and long-lived assets to be disposed of
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of, on
April 1, 1997. This statement requires that long-lived assets and certain
identified intangibles be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be
recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a
comparison on the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected
to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the
impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying
amount of the assets exceed the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed
of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to
sell. Adoption of this statement did not have a material impact on the Company's
financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
Comprehensive income
--------------------
The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive
Income on April 1, 1998. SFAS No. 130 requires that an enterprise report, by
major components and as a single total, the change in its net assets during the
period from nonowner sources. Adoption of this statement did not have a material
impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows,
as the Company did not have any changes in net assets resulting from nonowner
sources during the periods covered by the accompanying financial statements.
Segments of an enterprise and related information
-------------------------------------------------
The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 131, Disclosure about
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information on April 1, 1998. SFAS No. 131
establishes annual and interim reporting standards for an enterprise's operating
segments and related disclosures about its products, services, geographic areas
and major customers. Adoption of this statement did not have a material impact
on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows, as any
effects are limited to the form and content of its disclosures.
New accounting pronouncements
-----------------------------
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133,
Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS No.1-33
requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or
liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those instruments
at fair value. Adoption of this statement is not expected to impact the
Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. This
statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999.

Note F - Income taxes:
The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes under
the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109. Under the
liability method, a provision for income taxes is recorded based on taxes
currently payable on income as reported for federal income tax purposes, plus an
amount which represents the change in deferred income taxes for the year.
Deferred income taxes are provided for the temporary differences between
the financial reporting basis and the tax reporting basis of the Company's
assets and liabilities. The major areas in which temporary differences give rise
to deferred taxes are accounts receivable, accrued liabilities, start-up
expenditures, accumulated depreciation, and net operating loss carryforwards.
Deferred income taxes are classified as current or noncurrent depending on the
classification of the assets and liabilities to which they relate. Deferred
income taxes arising from temporary differences that are not related to an asset
or liability are classified as current or noncurrent depending on the years in
which the temporary differences are expected to reverse.

The increases in the deferred tax valuation
allowance are as follows: $ 235,000 $ 128,000

The Company has recorded a valuation allowance amounting to the entire
deferred tax asset balance because of the Company's uncertainty as to whether
the deferred tax asset is realizable. However, if the Company is able to utilize
the deferred tax asset in the future, the valuation allowance will be reduced
through a credit to income.
The Company has available at March 31, 1999, a net operating loss
carryforward of approximately $5,910,000 which can be used to offset future
taxable income through the year 2019.
Note G - Stock option plan:
On November 1, 1994, the Company adopted a stock award and incentive plan
which permits the issuance of options and stock appreciation rights to selected
employees and independent contractors of the Company. The plan reserved 450,000
shares of common stock for grant, of which 27,000 shares have been purchased,
and provides that
12
<PAGE>
the term of each award be determined by the committee of the Board of Directors
(Committee) charged with administering the plan.
Under the terms of the plan, options granted may be either nonqualified or
incentive stock options, and the exercise price, determined by the Committee,
may not be less than the fair market value of a share on the date of grant.
Stock appreciation rights granted in tandem with an option shall be exercisable
only to the extent the underlying option is exercisable and the grant price
shall be equal to the exercise price of the underlying option. At December 31,
1999, options to purchase 412,750 shares at exercise prices of $0.20 to $1.50
per share had been granted. No stock appreciation rights had been granted at
December 31, 1999.
Note H - Commitments and contingencies:

1998, respectively; $27,416 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1999.
Note I - Barter transaction:
On June 3, 1996, the Company entered into a media purchase agreement for
the promotion of its products and services with Proxhill Marketing, Ltd.
(Proxhill). Under the terms of the agreement, the Company committed to purchase
$1,200,000 of media advertising time in exchange for 200,000 shares of common
stock at a value of $4.00 per share, and $400,000 in cash. The agreement is for
a period of five years. For each purchase of media advertising time, the Company
will receive a barter credit equal to 66.67% of the transaction value with the
remaining balance payable in cash. A prepaid barter credit in the amount of
$761,018 is included in other assets in the accompanying balance sheet as of
December 31, 1999 and 1998 and March 31, 1999, respectively. In connection with
this agreement, the Company issued to Proxhill 50,000 warrants to purchase the
Company's common stock at a price of $4.00 per share. The options expire June 3,
2001.

<PAGE>
Note J - Sale - leaseback transaction:
The Company entered into a sale-leaseback arrangement during each of the
years ended March 31, 1999 and 1998. Under these arrangements, the Company sold
telecommunications equipment and leased it back for a period of three years.
Both leases were originally accounted for as operating leases. The gain of
$66,119 and $70,124 realized in these transactions had originally been deferred
and amortized to income in proportion to rental expense over the term of the
lease. In November 1998, the Company agreed to issue 579,971 shares of common
stock to the lessor in exchange for the release of the liability for all future
and past due lease payments.
Note K - Extinguishment of debt:
During the periods ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 and March 31, 1999, the
Company negotiated settlements of amounts owed to certain of its vendors and
employees. The negotiated settlements resulted in a reduction of the Company's
accounts payable and accrued operating expenses in the amount of $5,125 and
$35,116 for the three months and the nine months ended December 31, 1999,
respectively; and $-0- and $88,828 for the three months and the nine months
ended December 31, 1998, respectively; and $88,828 for the fiscal year ended
March 31, 1999 which has been reported as an extraordinary item in the
accompanying statements of operations.
Note L - Going concern:
The Company has incurred substantial operating losses to date. In June
1995, the Company issued 600,000 shares of its common stock to Star Resources,
Inc. (Star), a public company, for $24,000. The Company then filed a
registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission to allow Star
to distribute to its stockholders the 600,000 shares of common stock. Upon
completion of the Star distribution, the Company became a separate public
company. The Company has raised, and intends to continue to raise, additional
capital through subsequent offerings of its common stock in over-the-counter
securities markets.
On June 3, 1999, the Company entered into a software license agreement with
KMC Telecom Holdings, Inc. (KMC). Under the terms of the agreement, KMC paid the
Company an initial license fee of $570,000. The agreement is for a period of 10
years and provides for a total of 39 installations and grants KMC the ability to
add up to 81 additional installations. The agreement also calls for KMC to pay
the Company a monthly license fee ranging from $1,000 to $3,500 per month for
each software and hardware installation beginning in the 25th month after each
installation. The Company anticipates having the initial 39 installations
completed by December 2000 which would obligate KMC to pay the Company monthly
license fees of $131,500, subject to certain adjustments and to KMC's right to
terminate the entire contract on standard events of default by the Company,
beginning January 2003 and continuing through January 2010.
On July 1, 1999 the Company closed a private offering of 320,000 shares of
the Company's $.001 par value common stock for total proceeds of $400,000.
On December 22, 1999 the Company closed a private offering of 1,500,000
shares of the Company's $.001 par value common stock for total proceeds of
$2,250,000.
In view of these matters, realization of a major portion of the assets in
the accompanying balance sheet is dependent upon continued operations of the
Company, which in turn is dependent upon the Company's ability to meet its
financing requirements, and the success of its future operations. Management
believes that actions presently being taken to meet the Company's financial
requirements will provide the Company the opportunity to continue as a going
concern.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"),
and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act"). These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks
and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from
historical results or anticipated results, including those set forth under
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations" and elsewhere in, or incorporated by reference into this report.
Overview
The Company integrates and markets speech recognition technologies to
be used by telecommunications providers, to enhance a provider's overall package
of voice services through voice dialing. The Company's key product, the Voice
Integrated Platform ("VIP System" or the "System"), successfully integrates the
Philips Speech Pearl Natural Dialog, Philips Speech Processing's speech
recognition technology, with the Company's proprietary software application. The
System is designed to utilize standard industrial grade hardware and a
rack-mountable microprocessor-based computing system, with a Windows NT
operating system. The System has been developed for collocation at the
telecommunication provider's central office switch. With the VIP System, a
provider's subscriber can use natural conversational speech to access a variety
of enhanced service applications. The Company believes that the Philips speech
recognition technology that its System incorporates is superior to other similar
technologies and that its VIP System's enhanced services will become standard
telephony options offered by telecommunications providers in the 21st century.
The Company was incorporated in Delaware in 1992 under the name of
Direct Connect, Inc. and began operations in the telecommunications industry
under the name of Preferred Telecom, Inc. in April 1995. The Company began as a
long distance telecommunications carrier with a variety of enhanced services,
however, in February 1997 the Company sold to Brite Voice Systems, Inc.
("Brite") a number of assets, including the Company's end-user customer base.
The Company elected to sell these assets because it believed that the growth
prospects of this aspect of the business were limited. The Company has since
focused on enhanced telephone services that feature speech recognition
technology, believing that there are larger market opportunities in offering
enhanced speech recognition services to telecommunications providers.
From June of 1997 until April of 1998, all corporate activities were
focused on the development and testing of services to be deployed to the public
through a platform the Company calls the VIP System. In late April 1998 the
first operational VIP System was collocated in a switch environment. The initial
sales activity focused its efforts on introducing the concept of voice dialing
to prospective customers to gauge consumer response with respect to pricing,
features and viability of the services provided.
In December of 1998, the Company realized that the resources necessary
to sell and market its services directly to subscribers would require extensive
amounts of working capital and began researching venues which already had
inherent customer bases. The first distribution channel that the Company
explored was master distributors in various cities and states around the
country. The Company believes this will be a source of customer addition once
the Company is in the position to locate its VIP Systems in the master
distributor marketing areas. The second is through revenue sharing directly with
incumbent local exchange carriers ("ILECs"), wireless communications carriers
("WCCs"), and competitive local exchange carriers ("CLECs"). This avenue is
extremely attractive to the Company because these entities already have customer
bases and the infrastructure to service large number of customers. In June of
1999, the Company announced its revenue sharing marketing plan to wireline and
wireless telecommunications providers providing services such as The Smart
Linesm, Emma-The Perfect Receptionistsm, ** Talksm, My One Special Number sm ,
and Safety*Talksm.
15
<PAGE>
The Company is at a very early stage of implementing its business plan.
It is subject to risks inherent in the establishment and deployment of
technology with which the consumer has very little experience. As voice
recognition becomes more prevalent in everyday life, such as in computer
programs, reservation systems and telecommunications information systems, the
public will be more apt to accept and utilize its many features. In order for
the Company to succeed it must secure adequate financial and human resources to
meet its requirements; establish and maintain relationships with
telecommunications providers; facilitate integration with various switch
environments; establish a lead time for delivery of hardware; achieve user
acceptance for its services; generate reasonable margins on its services; deploy
and install VIP Systems on a timely and acceptable schedule; respond to
competitive developments; mitigate risk associated with obtaining patents and
copyrights and other protections of intellectual property; and continually
update its software to meet the needs of end users. Failure to achieve these
objectives could adversely effect the Company's business, operating results and
financial condition.
Results of Operations
For the nine month period ended December 31,1999, the Company recorded net
loss of $385,100, or $.04 per share compared to a net loss of $544,341, or $.09
per share for the nine month period ended December 31, 1998. For the three month
period ended December 31, 1999, the Company recorded a net loss of $489,953, or
$.04 per share compared to a net loss of $204,978, or $.03 per share for the
three month period ended December 31, 1998.
Total Revenue
Total revenue for the nine months period ended December 31, 1999, was
$880,908 compared to $2,610 for the nine months period ended December 31, 1998.
Of the revenue booked in the nine months period ended December 31, 1999, 65% was
generated from one-time licensing fees to KMC Telecom Holdings, 22% was from
sales of its VIP systems, 10% from customer tests, 2.5% from master distributor
fees for specific marketing rights, and the remaining .5% from service fees for
the Company's "Emma the Perfect Receptionist" and "Smart Line". Total revenue
for the three months period ended December 31, 1999 was $58,263 compared to
$2,610 for the three month period ended December 31, 1998. Of the revenue booked
in the three months period ended December 31, 1999, 97% was from customer tests,
and 3% from service fees for the Company's "Emma the Perfect Receptionist" and
"Smart Line". For the fiscal period ended March 31, 1999, revenues of $180,383
were generated 94% from master distributor fees and the remaining 6% from
service fees for the Company's end user customers. The Company does not
anticipate significant revenue growth from either direct sales to ILECs and WCCs
as negotiated with KMC or through master distributorships. However the Company
does anticipate significant revenue growth in the second half of the year 2000
from its revenue sharing agreements and as more ILEC, WCC and CLEC agreements
are completed.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales for the nine months period ended December 31, 1999 was
$201,917 compared to $1,486 for the nine months period ended December 31, 1998.
Cost of sales for the three months period ended December 31, 1999 was $65,835
compared to $1,072 for the three months period ended December 31, 1998. For the
nine months period ended December 31, 1999, 55% of costs were for VIP system
hardware purchased by KMC, 16% direct costs associated with the closing of the
KMC licensing agreement, and 29% for network infrastructure such as
collocations, connectivity, system access and long distance.
Selling, General and Administrative
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months period
ended December 31, 1999 was $1,072,070 compared to $488,635 for the nine months
period ended December 31, 1998. Selling, general and administrative expenses for
the three months period ended December 31, 1999 was $482,259 compared to
$162,107 for the three months period ended December 31, 1998. The increase in
the period ended December 31, 1998 and the same period in 1999 was primarily due
from the staffing increases and increased marketing efforts of the Company's
revenue sharing program to wireline and wireless carriers.
The Company expects that selling, general and administrative expenses will
increase significantly as it begins its full deployment of its sales and
marketing plan. To date the Company infrastructure has focused on system
16
<PAGE>
development and now must support its sales, marketing and customer service
departments, as such, the Company believes fiscal 2000 will experience increases
in cost related to increased headcount, lease space, and general overhead.
Extraordinary Items
The Company has recognized income from the extinguishment of debt of
$35,116 and $88,828 respectively for the nine months period ended December 31,
1999 and 1998. For the three months period ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, the
Company recognized income from extinguishment of debt of $5,125 and $-0-,
respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 1999 were
$1,935,896 an increase of $1,894,146 from $41,750 at March 31, 1999.
Liquidity was enhanced by the licensing of the Company's VIP application
software to KMC Telecom Holdings, Inc. (KMC). Under the terms of the agreement,
KMC paid the Company an initial license fee of $570,000. The agreement is for a
period of 10 years and provides for a total of 39 installations and grants KMC
the ability to add up to 81 additional installations. The agreement also calls
for KMC to pay the Company a monthly license fee ranging from $1,000 to $3,500
per month for each software and hardware installation beginning in the 25th
month after each installation. The Company anticipates having the initial 39
installations completed by December 2000 which would obligate KMC to pay the
Company monthly license fees of $131,500, subject to certain adjustments and to
KMC's right to terminate the entire contract on standard events of default by
the Company, beginning January 2003 and continuing through January 2010.
On July 1, 1999, pursuant to Section 4(2), the Company conducted an
offering of 320,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $1.25 per share
providing the Company with $400,000 working capital.
On December 22, 1999, pursuant to Section 4(2), the Company conducted
an offering of 1,500,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $1.50 per share
providing the Company with $2,250,000 working capital.
Future Obligations
During the next twelve months, the Company plans, subject to raising
adequate capital, to increase substantially the marketing of its VIP Systems, to
introduce new services, and to continue refining the services it currently
provides. Subject to the Company's ability to fund the cost, management expects
the Company to hire or contract with approximately 50 additional persons during
the next twelve (12) months, primarily to support its expanding marketing
activities and system installations. At February 17, 2000, the Company employed
22 employees.
The ability of the Company to raise capital is, in the opinion of
management, the primary constraint on the implementation of its business plan.
Management estimates that during the next twelve (12) months, the Company will
require approximately $15,000,000 of equity and/or long term debt to finance its
costs of marketing, system deployment, and continued refinement of its services.
In addition, the Company will be required to obtain extensions of its current
debt or raise additional funds of approximately $500,000 to retire its debt.
There is no assurance that the Company will be able to secure any such financing
or extensions of its current debt.
Year 2000 Compliance
Many currently installed computer systems and software products are
coded to accept only two digit entries in the date code field. These date code
fields will need to accept four digit entries to distinguish 21st century dates
from 20th century dates. As a result, many companies' computer systems and/or
software may need to be upgraded or
17
<PAGE>
replaced to comply with such "Year 2000" requirements. Significant uncertainty
exists in the software industry concerning the potential effects associated with
such compliance.
The Company has reviewed its own software products and believes that
there will be no adverse impact with the Year 2000 date change. All of the
Company's products are designed to record, store, and process calendar dates
occurring before and after January 1, 2000 with the same full year accuracy
(i.e. four numeric characters instead of two).
An impact analysis has been conducted to identify the risk of failure
within the Company's in-house computer systems. The Company believes that there
will be no adverse impact with the Year 2000 date change. However, this risk to
the Company's business relates not only to the Company's computer systems, but
also to some degree to those of the Company's suppliers and customers. The
Company has developed a policy to ensure that all key customers, suppliers and
strategic partners operate and provide Year 2000 compliant systems and software.
The Company is currently collecting certifications from third parties on
compliance. Also, there is a risk that existing and potential customers may not
purchase the Company's products in the future if the computer systems of such
existing or potential customers are adversely impacted by the Year 2000 date
change.
Based on the information to date, the Company has completed its Year
2000 compliance review and made necessary modifications. However, the issue is
complex and no business can guarantee that there will be no Year 2000 problems.
Some commentators have stated that a significant amount of litigation will arise
out of Year 2000 compliance issues, and the Company is aware of a growing number
of lawsuits against other software vendors. Because of the unprecedented nature
of such litigation, it is uncertain to what extent the Company may be affected
by it.
