The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements. F-4- SURGICAL SAFETY PRODUCTS, INC. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Note 1 - Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The condensed financial statements of Surgical Safety Products, Inc. (Company) have been prepared without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1999. The results of operations for the nine month period ended September 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other period or for the full year. In the opinion of Company's management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of only normally recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial positions of September 30, 2000, the results of operations and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and September 30, 1999. Net Loss Per Share Net loss per share has been computed in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (FASB) No. 128, "Earnings Per Share," by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Common stock equivalents have not been included in the computation of weighted average number of shares outstanding since the effect would have been anti-dilutive. Note 2 - Stock Compensation Expense During fiscal year 1998, the Company issued stock options with an exercise price that was below market price to certain of its employees. Accordingly, the Company recorded $91,113 of compensation expense related to the issuance for the year ended December 31, 1998. In the first quarter of 1999, the Company canceled these stock options and issued options with an exercise price above that of market. Accordingly, the Company decreased its payroll expense by $91,113 for the cancellation of these options for the quarter ended March 31, 1999. F-5 SURGICAL SAFETY PRODUCTS, INC. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Note 3 -Conversions of Debt During the nine months ended September 30, 2000, the investment banking firm that holds the notes payable related to the convertible line of credit, elected to Convert $268,442 of principal and interest outstanding into 624,617 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $0.375 to $0.5625 per share. These shares were released from the shares held in escrow by the firm. On October 24, 2000, the firm converted another $266,219 of principal and interest into 709,918 shares of common stock at a price of $0.375 per share. Note 4 - Commitments On June 29, 2000, the Company entered into an agreement with a clinical organization to license various components of its educational material to host on the Company's website for a three-year period. The contract provides for the Company to pay a base license fee of $117,000 per year, plus additional fees on the number of users that access the material on the Company's website. The total amount of fees paid each year by the Company inclusive of both the basic license fees and user fees are capped at $1,426,000. On October 15, 2000, the financial institution that holds the Company's line of credit extended the maturity date for such to December 31, 2000. In order to facilitate this extension, the Company has pledged certificates of deposit totaling $50,000 against the line of credit. F-6 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations. General The Company's (OTC BB: SURG) overall mission is the research, development, production and distribution of innovative products and services for healthcare. Consisting of both traditional products and innovative business-to-business e-solutions, the common goal is a safer and more efficient environment for healthcare workers, manufacturers and patients. Originally formed as a medical device company, Surgical shifted focus to being an e-company when the Company's management recognized an untapped market niche: responding to the critical need for immediate communication and access to information in healthcare. Now, the Company operates two divisions providing products and services to the medical industry. The Information Systems Division, formerly referred to as Oasis@work, through its Oasis Information Exchange product line provides business-to-business on-demand safety and efficiency driven e-business and information for healthcare workers. The Medical Products and Services Division develops, manufactures and distributes medical devices. About Oasis Information Exchange The Oasis Information Exchange ("OIX") strategy is healthcare e-business content aggregation and applications integration through a virtual private network. It links the entire healthcare continuum, which includes healthcare workers, administration, patients, and healthcare and pharmaceutical manufacturers. Oasis Information Exchange is a true healthcare data center with multiple access points. It is an Internet-based virtual private network consisting of points-of-access via intranets, the Internet, internet appliances, and through TouchPorts located throughout healthcare facilities across the country. Although the Company is now focusing on providing its services through the Internet, TouchPorts remain available as an alternative and are user-friendly touch-access internet appliances which allow healthcare professionals access to high quality clinical reference and agency mandated information services. OIX consists of three lines of e-business. The primary product produced by OIX is a service that creates customized training applications for virtually any topic. These web browser-based educational modules are designed to provide the end-user with succinct, current information on any topic within practically any industry. As a second line of business, OIX builds on-line communities in specific target markets positioned as information exchanges. The third line of business, a natural by-product of the first two, is Internet application development and support services During the second quarter of 2000, the Company realized that they were focusing too much attention to the installation of hardware rather than focusing its attention on its real product - information. In July 2000, the Company signed an agreement with the Association of periOperative Registered Nurses ("AORN"), one of the largest nursing organizations in the United States, to license their content - AORN Journal Online, OR Product Directory, Standards Recommended Practices and Guidelines (SRPG) and other content. See "Corporate Developments". AORN has 43,000 members and other mailing lists comprising of an additional 100,000 people. As part of this initiative, the Company will be producing a CD-ROM that will be mailed to approximately 150,000 people in December 2000. This CD-ROM will feature OASiS. The CD will be mailed in the AORN Journal for members and as a separate mailing to others. Due to the increase and availability of PC's and Internet accessibility in the heathcare environment, the Company realizes that, while in some cases its OASiS network is needed in a particular environment, by an large, its larger market is for its content. Essentially the Company is changing from a hardware network supplier to an information broker which will create an information exchange network for a defined healthcare community that links the end-users to the industry while adding value to both parties. This is essentially what the Company was doing all along; however, it had focused on the delivery system for its product rather than the product itself. Under the AORN arrangement, the Company's product will be delivered through the Internet via its website or information exchange which will be called OasisOR.com. The data center will have the same type of content from device manufacturers, clinical associations and other relevant resources; however it will be for OR employees only, with the information relevant to them. Although the Company pays AORN a licensing fee, the Company expects to generate revenue from sponsorships of the CD and from user fees and advertising on its website. The Company has negotiated its first sponsorship agreement with US Surgical in lieu of the previous agreement which required massive expenditures for hardware installations. The Company plans to scale the concept for other niche markets by creating websites that cater to a particular speciality. The Company will focus on providing website and intranet development. Corporate Developments The Company entered into an agreement with IBM Global Services effective January 3, 2000 which included an IBM Customer Agreement and a Statement of Work (the "IBM Global Agreement"). Under the terms of the IBM Global Agreement IBM agreed to provide complete implementation and support service solutions for 1,200 OASiS terminals in an estimated 400 end user locations during the 12 month period commencing December 1, 1999. On February 3, 2000, IBM Global Services and the Company finalized the Statement of Work. The services to be provided under the agreement included project planning, site surveys, product acquisition, network design, web-site hosting services, premises wiring, OASiS TouchPort Implementation, help desk support and consulting services. The estimated cost for performing the work was approximately $10 million. In addition, IBM Global Services agreed to bill the Company a monthly service charge for pre and post installation support services, including 24-7 support, and for labor, travel and out of pocket expenses. The Company was to provide technical resources and oversee the IBM Global's activities. Due to the new Internet focus, the Company has chosen to pursue for the delivery of its product, there is no longer any need for the services to be provided by IBM. Effective July 14, 2000, this contract was terminated. In February 2000, the Company executed an Investment Banking Services Agreement with Dunwoody Brokerage Services Inc. d/b/a Swartz Institutional Finance ("Swartz"). Under the agreement, Swartz agreed to introduce entities to the Company for potential strategic partnerships, licensing arrangements, mergers, acquisitions, investments or funding. For such services, Swartz was to receive a scaled fee based upon the value of any completed transaction. Said fee was payable in cash or stock at Swartz's option and by the issuance of warrants, the number of which were to be based upon the fee divided by the market price of the Company's Common Stock. There was no obligation on the part of the Company to accept any transaction offered by the Swartz to the Company. Since no funding was provided, pursuant to the terms of the contract, the Company sent notice of cancellation effective July 31, 2000. In February 2000, the Company executed a Consulting Agreement with Global Development Advisors, Inc. ("GDA"); however, shortly thereafter, further negotiations ensued and the agreement never became effective. Under the agreement, GDA was to provide business and marketing consulting services, assist in the implementation of a strategic plan and assist, coordinate and monitor the Company's investor relations program. The agreement was for a term of six (6) months and could have been extended by the Company. In lieu of cash payments for services, GDA agreed to accept 50,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock under the Company's 2000 Stock Plan approved by its shareholders on February 28, 2000 and options to purchase an additional 50,000 shares at an exercise price of $1.09. Due to the further negotiations, the issuance was never made. The parties have canceled this Agreement. On February 29, 2000, the Company entered into a contract with Steel Beach Productions, Inc. ("Steel Beach") to design, develop, implement and test the OASiS Version 3.0 web based application. The contract is for a total of $160,100 and is to be paid $80,500 in cash and $80,500 in stock options. The Company paid a deposit of $20,012.50 and the balance is to be paid upon delivery of the prototype, preliminary product and final product. The options are due at the time of delivery of the final product. The common stock option number will be calculated based on the average closing share price ("ACSP") in the twenty (20) days of trading prior to deliver of the final product. The exercise price will be 50% of the twenty (20) day average closing price as quoted on the OTC BB. The number of options issued will be calculated by multiplying $80,050 times two (2) and dividing by the ACSP. The options are to have a term of five (5) years and are to conform to Company's consultant option policy as far as additional terms and details. This agreement with Steel Beach replaces two earlier agreements; specifically, one agreement for Version 2.0 dated December 30, 1999 in the amount of $37,800 in cash and $37,800 in stock options, and one agreement for Version 3.0 dated December 30, 1999 in the amount of $42,250 in cash and $42,250 in stock options. All efforts expended by Steel Beach Productions under these two earlier contracts are compensated under the terms of this agreement. The Company retains all propriety rights in the application. Steel Beach is responsible for its own costs and expenses. The agreement may be canceled by either party on thirty (30) days written notice. The product was delivered and the parties are in the process of reconciling amounts owed between them. On May 16, 2000, the Company entered into a contract with Horizon Marketing Group ("Horizon") for the strategic planning, design and development for sales and marketing presentations by the Company and for the Company's website. The contract was amended on June 30, 2000. The initial contract was for $18,300 which was increased in the amendment by $14,405, for a total contract price of $32,705 of which the Company has thus far paid approximately $14,000. The contract is for a designated schedule of work which is paid under a fee schedule and by a reward bonus. Under the reward bonus, Horizon will, as the last payment, receive the greater of 2% of the value of each contract with a partner secured by virtue of the work performed or $17,705 by December 1, 2000. Further, Horizon can be engaged to provide ongoing development services at the rate of $1000 per month. The contract terminates when the project is completed. On May 25, 2000, the Company entered a staff leasing agreement with EPIX IV, Inc. ("EPIX") as a replacement for comparable services previously provided by Staff Leasing. Like the Staff Leasing arrangement, the EPIX arrangment creates a co-employment relationship between EPIX and the Company relative to the employees who work at the Company. Effective June 7, 2000, the Company's line of credit with SouthTrust renewed through August 12, 2000, with an option to extend the maturity until October 15, 2000 if the Company pledges a certificate of deposit in the amount of $25,000. The interest rate is prime plus 1.5% and the line is secured by the Company's equipment, receivables and inventory. The line is guaranteed personally by Dr. Swor. The line of credit was renewed on October 15, 2000 and the maturity date is December 31, 2000. The Company pledged an additional $25,000 certificate of deposit to secure the line. The outstanding amount on the line is $100,000. Effective June 28, 2000, the Company negotiated a new contract with US Surgical. This agreement supercedes all prior agreements between the parties. Under the terms of the new agreement, US Surgical will pay through June 30, 2000 the Company $300,000 in settlement for all amounts owed to the Company under the previous agreements and will pay the Company an additional sum of $200,000 for future services under the OasisOR.com initiative. This new arrangement is principally due to the ineffective introduction by US Surgical of OASiS into the healthcare environment through hardware installations. Both companies realize that the value of OASiS is the content and product it delivers. This new content agreement emphasizes US Surgical's continued belief in the information exchange network which the Company now had embarked upon as its focus. Effective July 1, 2000, the Company entered into an agreement with AORN under which AORN will provide certain of its proprietary content on a non-exclusive license basis to the Company. Under the agreement, AORN will deliver to the Company certain of its content for which it grants the Company a non-exclusive license to market and promote. The Company receives a substantial credit toward advertising in the AORN Journal and other AORN publications. The Company is required to provide the software and hardware to promote and market the AORN content. The Company is required to pay AORN $117,000 as the license fee and contact hours fee for the first year of the agreement. The Company is required to pay one-half of the license fee by December 15, 2000. To date, the Company has made payments related to the license fee in the amount of $25,000. AORN will reimburse the Company for certain conversion costs and to pay the cost of web enabling Home Study Courses sponsored by AORN. The agreement is for a term of three (3) years and it may be terminated by either party on 180 day notice. If terminated without cause, the Company is entitled to a refund of any unused license and user fees. AORN retains ownership of its intellectual property while the Company retains the ownership of its OASiS intellectual property. On July 6, 2000, the Company entered into an agreement with Carver Cross Securities Corp. ("CCSC") for investment banking services, including financial advisory services and efforts to secure equity or debt financing. TK has given verbal approval for this arrangement, subject to final approval of any financing package. The CCSC agreement is exclusive for a term of 120 days commencing the later of September 6, 2000 or the date a placement memorandum is ready for distribution. Under the agreement, CCSC receives a retainer of $6,000, plus a warrant to purchase 40,000 shares of the Company's common stock for a period of 5 years at an exercise price of $0.625 per share and monthly payments of $2,500 plus warrants for 40,000 shares of common stock.. In any case, under the agreement, CCSC will not receive warrants to purchase more than 120,000 shares. CCSC will receive compensation for equity financing arranged by CCSC, the sale of assets or a public offering placement. In the case equity financing is arranged, CCSC will receive complete warrants exercisable for 5 years at an exercise price equal to 101% of the amount paid by the investors. In addition, CCSC receives approved expenses. This agreement has been terminated effective September 2000. No warrants have been issued related to this agreement; however, the Company made payments to CCSC totaling $11,000. On August 16, 2000, the Company finalized a consulting agreement with GDA. Under the agreement, GDA is to provide business and marketing consulting services, assist in the implementation of a strategic plan and assist, coordinate and monitor the Company's investor relations program. The agreement was for a term of three (3) months, which term can be extended by the Company. In lieu of cash payments for services, GDA agreed to accept 200,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock under the Company's 2000 Stock Plan approved by its Shareholders on February 28, 2000. On October 25, 2000, the Company executed a second agreement with GDA which, effectively, extends its initial agreement with GDA for another term of three (3) months. In lieu of cash payments, for its services, GDA agreed to accept an additional 150,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock under the Company's 2000 Stock Plan. In September 2000, the Company entered into agreements with three healthcare companies as sponsors for its AORN/OasisOR.com CD-ROM launch in December 2000. Sponsorships range from $15,000 - $50,000 and provide the companies with advertising on the CD-ROM and AORN Journal ads, as well as the production of in-service Trainlets to be hosted on OasisOR.com. The companies are Haemacure Corporation, Imagyn Medical Technologies, and Karl Storz Corporation. In addition, the Company has entered into an agreement with Stryker Corporation, another healthcare company, to produce in-service Trainlets for its products. The Trainlets will be hosted on OasisOR.com with links to the Stryker website. This contract is for $32,500. Each of these contracts are for a one-year period. On October 6, 2000, the Company entered into an agreement with Quantumm Internet Services, Inc.,("Quantumm"), an Internet access provider. Under the terms of this agreement, Quantumm provides the Company with customized Internet services that enable the Company to be a virtual Internet service provider ("ISP"). Also, Quantumm has contracted to design the Company's CD-ROM for OasisOR.com that will be mailed out to AORN members in December 2000. The CD- ROM will provide users the option to sign up for Internet access branded as OasisOR..com. The total cost of the contract was $15,995 which the Company has paid. Effective October 15, 2000, the Company moved its corporate office to 3665 Bee Ridge Road, Suite 300, Sarasota, Florida 34233. The Company entered into a six (6) month lease with two (2) renewal options of six (6) months each. The monthly rent is $3700, inclusive of common area maintenance. In December 1999, the Company executed a Loan Agreement with Thomson Kernaghan & Co., Ltd. ("TK"), as Agent and Lender, whereby TK agreed to make loans to the Company of up to $5,000,000 in installments for a period commencing with the date of the agreement and ending on November 30, 2002 (the "TK Loan Commitment"). The Company may request additional draws of no less than $500,000 provided its Common Stock has traded for a minimum of $1.00 for 20 consecutive days and the stock has had an average trading volume of 25,000 shares for the same period. Due to the Company's current share price, it does not qualify for additional draws at this time. Under the terms of the TK Loan Commitment, each installment is supported by a convertible note and security agreement and the Agent and Lender are granted warrants to purchase shares of the Company's Common Stock. Further, 2,700,000 shares are held by TK in escrow for the potential conversion under the notes or exercise of the warrants. Under the terms of the TK Loan Agreement, an initial loan of $650,000 was made on December 30, 1999. On March 31, 2000 the Company received a second installment under the TK Commitment in the amount of $650,000. On April 28, 2000, TK elected to convert $100,000 of outstanding principal and $2,630 of the accrued interest into shares of Common Stock at a price of $0.5625 per share which represents 182,453 shares. On June 9, 2000, TK elected to convert $120,000 of outstanding principal and $4,129 of the accrued interest into shares of Common Stock at a price of $0.375 per share which represents 331,010 shares. On July 11, 2000, TK elected to convert $40,000 of outstanding principal and $1,683.13 of the accrued interest into shares of Common Stock at a price of $0.375 per share which represents 111,155 shares. On October 24, 2000, TK elected to convert $250,000 of outstanding principal and $16,219 of the accrued interest into shares of Common Stock at a price of $0.375 per share which represents 709,918 shares. The Company granted TK registration rights and was obligated to file a Form S-3 within sixty (60) days of the agreement. The Company filed a registration statement on Form S-3 on March 2, 2000 covering initially 20,038,097 shares of its Common Stock. The issuance of the securities was made pursuant to Regulation S of the Act. The Form S-3 registration statement was declared effective on April 11, 2000. Since the Company did not meet financial projections which were an integral part of the transaction, TK and the Company are re-negotiating an arrangement which it is anticipated will be in the form of an amendment to the TK Loan Commitment relative to future installments. The TK Loan Commitment, as draw downs are taken and as interest accrues, will increase the long term debt of the Company. The Company is currently seeking other potential funding. With the TK Loan Commitment and in the event additional debt is raised, the Company will incur future interest expense. The TK Loan Commitment, if fully converted and all warrants are exercised, will dilute the interest of existing shareholders and in the event additional equity is raised, management may be required to dilute the interest of existing shareholders further or forego a substantial interest in revenues, if any. In the event that the Company is successful in securing additional debt financing, the amount of such financing, depending upon its terms, would increase either the short or long term debt of the Company or both. Discussion and Analysis The Company was founded in 1992 to combat the potential spread of bloodborne pathogenic infections such as HIV and hepatitis. It has broadened its mission to research, develop, manufacturing, marketing and selling medical products and services to the healthcare community. The Company was in the development stage until 1993 when it began commercial shipments of SutureMate(R), its first product. From inception in June, 1992 through December 31, 1999, the Company generated revenues of approximately $1,275,000 from a limited number of customers. Since inception through December 31, 1999, the Company has generated cumulative losses of approximately $2,780,000. Although the Company has experienced a significant percentage growth in revenues from fiscal 1992 to fiscal 1999, the Company does not believe prior growth rates are indicative of future operating results, especially in light of the contract with AORN and its new Internet-based site, OASiSOR.com and the anticipated contract with US Surgical. Due to the Company's operating history and limited resources, among other factors, there can be no assurance that profitability or significant revenues on a quarterly or annual basis will occur in the future. Moreover, the Company expects to continue to incur operating losses through at least through fiscal 2000, and there can be no assurance that losses will not continue after such date. As discussed in the independent auditors' report, the operating losses incurred by the Company raise doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. In addition, with the implementation of its agreement with AORN, and its new arrangement with US Surgical and/or with the establishment of one or more strategic alliances in addition to AORN and US Surgical, the Company expects to experience a period of growth, which requires it to significantly increase the scale of its operations. This will result in significantly higher operating expenses. The increase in operating expenses is expected to be partially funded by an increase in revenues. However, the Company's net loss may continue to increase. Expansion of the Company's operations may cause a significant strain on the Company's management, financial and other resources. The Company's ability to manage recent and any possible future growth, should it occur, will depend upon a significant expansion of its sales and marketing, research and development, accounting and other internal management systems and the implementation and subsequent improvement of a variety of systems, procedures and controls. There can be no assurance that significant problems in these areas will not occur. Any failure to expand these areas and implement and improve such systems, procedures and controls in an efficient manner at a pace consistent with the Company's business could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. As a result of such expected expansion and the anticipated increase in its operating expenses, as well as the difficulty in forecasting revenue levels, the Company expects to continue to experience significant fluctuations in its revenues, costs and gross margins, and therefore its results of operations. The Company's plan of operations for the next twelve months is to focus on building revenue from production of its web-enabled training applications called Trainlets that it is currently marketing to healthcare companies. In addition, it anticipates additional revenues from the development of its website and registered user base. The Company also is aggressively seeking strategic alliances with targeted industry partners such as manufacturers of devices, manufacturers of pharmaceuticals, professional organizations such as nursing associations and hospital group purchasing organizations and integrated health networks along the lines created with the AORN contract. The Company estimates that revenues will be sufficient to fund ongoing operations at the current level when the website is functional and its registered users base reach levels of 75,000 or more. The Company is also aggressively marketing its web-enabled Trainlets to healthcare companies for which it has already received contracts totaling approximately $350,000. In the short term, to fund operations through fiscal 2000, the Company will seek to draw upon the funds available under the TK Commitment, to seek additional funds from strategic alliances with potential clients, its shareholders, from additional third party financing or seek third party debt or equity financing other than those planned by the current anticipated agreements. Currently, the Company has available its existing lines of credit. The Company has increased its staff from six (6) at fiscal 1999 year end to nine (9) as of September 30, 2000. Provided that the TK Commitment and other funding is available when needed, the Company believes that it can meet its capital needs through year end. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in these efforts. As discussed in Note 10 to the Financial Statements, if the financing referred to above is not secured, the recoverability of the recorded asset amounts may be impaired. In 2001, the Company will require between $3 and $5 million in additional capital in the form of debt or equity to fund the continued expansion of the Oasis system and its development to meet increased demand and to implement its plans for increased marketing of its medical device products. This reduction is due to the new initiative which is less hardware intensive and requires less maintenance. Under the TK Commitment, $3,700,000 remains available under the terms of the agreement provided the Company can maintain its share price. Other than the TK Commitment, the Company has accepted no definite offer from any other source. There can be no assurance that such long-term financing will be available to the Company or that it will be on terms that the Company may seek. Results of Operations for the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 Overview From its inception, the Company has incurred losses from operations. As of September 30, 2000, the Company had cumulative net losses totaling approximately $3,800,000. During fiscal 1999, management shifted its focus to aggressively marketing its proprietary products, especially those associated with Oasis Information Exchange. Financial Position As of September 30, 2000, the Company had a deficit of working capital of $10,808, as compared to a deficit of working capital of $145,258 at September 30, 1999. This decrease in deficit is primarily due to additional borrowings on the TK Commitment and revenues received from US Surgical. Revenues For the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, the Company had total revenues of $518,041 and $165,221, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, revenues were comprised primarily of license and production fees provided to US Surgical pursuant to the contract dated July 1999. For the three months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, the Company generated revenues of $58,556 and $112,488, respectively. Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2000 consist of Trainlet production and sponsorship fees related to the Company's information exchange portal, OasisOR.com. For the three months ended September 30, 1999, revenues were derived from the Company's contract with US Surgical dated July 1999. Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, operating expenses increased by $564,016 or 94% from $602,555 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. This increase is primarily related to marketing support expenditures to sustain the launch of the Company's Oasis Information Exchange. For the three months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, operating expenses increased $208,184 from $207,231 in 1999 to $415,505 in 2000 due to increased personnel and marketing. In accordance with the Company's marketing plan for fiscal 2000, expenses related to promotion, trade shows, and conventions were increased to enhance the industry awareness of the company's products and services. In the past, the Company has focused on the design and development of proprietary products. For fiscal 2000, the Company has launched an aggressive marketing plan that is designed to increase worldwide sales of its products. Surgical believes that the increased operating expenses incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2000 will position the Company to generate increased revenue in the 2001 fiscal year. Liquidity and Capital Resources The financial condition, liquidity and capital resources of the Company should be assessed in context with the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern as discussed in the independent auditors' report. The Company's operations have been funded primarily from the $1,300,000 proceeds of draw downs under the TK Commitment completed in the fourth quarter 1999 and from cash flow of approximately $500,000 from licensing and production fees from US Surgical for Oasis during the nine months ended September 30, 2000. This allowed the Company to enhance its Oasis software and data base and fund current operations. At September 30, 2000, the Company has a $376,765 cash position. In addition to the balance of $3,700,000 available under the TK Commitment, the Company has a line of credit in the amount of $100,000 that matured on October 15, 2000 and has been renewed through December 31, 2000. It is guaranteed by Dr. Swor. In the past, the line of credit also has been used to fund operations on a short-term basis and $100,000 is currently outstanding. As of September 30, 2000, the Company pledged a certificate of deposit in the amount of $25,000 to secure the line of credit. On October 15, 2000, the Company pledged an additional certificate of deposit in the amount of $25,000 to renew the line of credit through December 31, 2000. Net cash used for investing for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 was approximately $157,000, representing primarily enhancements to the current version of Oasis. In the short term, to fund operations through the balance of fiscal 2000, the Company will be required to make additional draw downs under the TK Commitment, seek additional funds from strategic alliances with potential clients, its shareholders, from additional third party financing or seek third party debt or equity financing other than those planned by the current agreements. Additionally, the Company anticipates that revenues will begin to be generated in the third and fourth quarter of 2000 and that such revenues will help to fund operations. Provided that additional funding is secured, the Company believes that it can meet its capital needs through year end. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in these efforts.

PART II Item 1. Legal Proceedings. The Company knows of no legal proceedings to which it is a party or to which any of its property is the subject, which are pending, threatened or contemplated or any unsatisfied judgments against the Company. Item 2. Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds At a meeting of the Board of Directors held on June 6, 2000, a resolution was passed to modify the Company's 2000 Stock Option and Awards Plan by providing of the 10,000,000 shares authorized under the plan, that in any calendar year, options and awards to acquire no more than 1,000,000 shares will be granted.
