MEDTOX SCIENTIFIC, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2002 NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of MEDTOX Scientific, Inc. (the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of financial condition and results of operations have been included. Operating results for the six-month period ended June 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be attained for the entire year. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001. Reclassifications: Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2001 financial statements to conform with the 2002 presentations. In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Accounting Financial Standards No. 142 (SFAS 142), "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." This statement requires that goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have an indefinite life not be amortized. Instead of amortizing goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have an indefinite life, the statement requires a test for impairment to be performed annually, or immediately if conditions indicate that such an impairment could exist. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 142 effective January 1, 2002, and as a result, will no longer record goodwill amortization of approximately $0.8 million per year. The Company completed the first step of the initial goodwill impairment test during the second quarter of 2002 and determined that there was no impairment of goodwill upon adoption of SFAS No. 142. The following table provides the comparable effects of the adoption of SFAS No. 142 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 and June 30, 2001. (In thousands, except per share data)

In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations." SFAS No. 143 addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. SFAS No. 143 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2003. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 143. In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities." SFAS No. 146 requires that a liability for costs associated with exit or disposal activities be recognized when the liability is incurred. Existing generally accepted accounting principles provide for the recognition of such costs at the date of management's commitment to an exit plan. In addition, SFAS No. 146 requires that the liability be measured at fair value and be adjusted for changes in estimated cash flows. The provisions of SFAS No. 146 are effective for exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 146. NOTE B - SEGMENTS The Company has two reportable segments: Laboratory Services and Product Sales. The Laboratory Services segment consists of MEDTOX Laboratories, Inc. Services provided include forensic toxicology, clinical toxicology, clinical testing for the pharmaceutical industry, pediatric lead testing, heavy metals analyses, courier delivery, and medical surveillance. Providing revenues from external customers for each group of services within the Laboratory Services segment is impracticable. The Product Sales segment consists of MEDTOX Diagnostics, Inc. Products manufactured include easy to use, inexpensive, on-site drug tests such as PROFILE(R)-II, PROFILE-IIA(R), PROFILE(R)-ER, EZ-SCREEN(R), and VERDICT(R)-II. The Company's reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services. They are managed separately as each business requires different products, services and marketing strategies. In evaluating financial performance, management focuses on net income as a segment's measure of profit or loss. Segment Information (In thousands)

NOTE E - CONTINGENCIES In March 2000, the Company was served with a copy of a complaint filed against the Company in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, by the Methodist Medical Center of Illinois (the Plaintiff). The Plaintiff alleged that the Company interfered with various contractual relationships of the Plaintiff in connection with the referral of certain customers to the Company by other defendants previously sued by the Plaintiff in the same action. The Company had filed a cross claim against the other defendants in the litigation based on such defendants' contractual obligation to indemnify the Company against any damages, costs or expenses (including attorney fees) incurred by the Company, arising out of any claim of contractual interference by the Company in connection with the referral of the customers to the Company by such defendants. The parties have reached an agreement to settle the case, whereby the Company paid $75,000 with a full release of all claims and a dismissal order entered in October 2001. The Company will voluntarily dismiss its indemnity claims against the co-defendants for reimbursement of the $75,000 paid, with the right of refiling the indemnification claim existing for one year. The Company will continue to pursue its right of indemnification for the $75,000 during the next year. Item 2 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Cautionary Statement Identifying Important Factors That Could Cause the Company's Actual Results to Differ From Those Projected in Forward Looking Statements In connection with the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, readers of this document and any document incorporated by reference herein, are advised that this document and documents incorporated by reference into this document contain both statements of historical facts and forward looking statements.

Forward looking statements are beyond the ability of the Company to control and in many cases the Company cannot predict what factors would cause results to differ materially from those indicated by the forward looking statements. General MEDTOX Scientific, Inc. (formerly EDITEK, Inc.), a Delaware corporation, was organized in September 1986 to succeed the operations of a predecessor California corporation. MEDTOX Scientific, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, MEDTOX Laboratories, Inc., MEDTOX Diagnostics, Inc., and New Brighton Business Center LLC are referred to herein as "the Company". The Company is engaged primarily in two distinct, but very much related, businesses. The business of manufacturing and distribution of diagnostic devices is carried on by MEDTOX Diagnostics, Inc. from its facility in Burlington, North Carolina and the business of forensic and clinical laboratory services is conducted by MEDTOX Laboratories, Inc. at its facility in St. Paul, Minnesota. The Company has two reportable segments: "Laboratory Services" conducted by the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, MEDTOX Laboratories, Inc. and "Products Sales" conducted by the Company's wholly owned subsidiary MEDTOX Diagnostics, Inc. Laboratory Services include forensic toxicology, clinical toxicology, clinical testing for the pharmaceutical industry and heavy metal analyses as well as logistics, data, and overall program management services. Product Sales include sales of a variety of point-of-collection (POC) screening devices for therapeutic drugs and drugs of abuse. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, Laboratory Services revenue accounted for 75.73% and 75.67%, respectively, of the Company's revenues, compared with 79.54% and 79.84% for the same periods in 2001. Revenue from Product Sales accounted for 24.27% and 24.33% of the total revenues of the Company for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, respectively, compared with 20.46% and 20.16% for the same periods in 2001. Critical Accounting Policies The Company has identified the policies outlined below as critical to its business operations and an understanding of results of operations. The listing is not intended to be a comprehensive list of all accounting policies. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, with no need for management's judgment in their application. The impact and any associated risks related to these policies on the Company's business operations is discussed throughout Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations where such policies affect reported and expected financial results. For a detailed discussion on the application of these and other accounting policies, see Note 1 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 14 on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001. Note that the preparation of this Form 10-Q requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ from those estimates. The Company's critical accounting policies are as follows: Accounts Receivable: The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and adjusts credit limits based upon payment history and the customers' current credit worthiness, as determined by management's review of their current credit information. The Company continuously monitors collections and payments from its customers and maintains a provision for estimated credit losses based upon the Company's historical experience and any specific customer collection issues that have been identified. While such credit losses have historically been within the Company's general expectations and the provisions established, the Company cannot guarantee that it will continue to experience the same credit loss rates that have occurred in the past. The Company's consolidated trade accounts receivable balance as of June 30, 2002 was $10.7 million, net of allowance for doubtful accounts of $1.3 million. Off-Site Supplies Inventory: Off-site supplies represents collection kits and forms located at collections sites throughout the United States used by Laboratory Services' customers to submit specimens for testing services. At June 30, 2002, off-site inventory was $0.7 million The process for estimating off-site inventory involves significant assumptions and judgments. The estimate is based on the historical average time that a collection site uses the inventory, as well as the amount of inventory expected to be scrapped. Goodwill: The Company continually evaluates whether events and changes in circumstances warrant revised estimates of useful lives or recognition of an impairment loss of unamortized goodwill. The conditions that would trigger an impairment assessment of unamortized goodwill include a significant, sustained negative trend in operating results or cash flows, a decrease in demand for the Company's products or services, a change in the competitive environment, and other industry and economic factors. Until January 1, 2002, the Company measured impairment of unamortized goodwill utilizing the undiscounted cash flow method. The estimated cash flows were then compared to recorded goodwill amounts; if the unamortized balance of the goodwill exceeded the estimated cash flows, the excess of the unamortized balance would have been written off. In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" (SFAS No. 142). The Company adopted SFAS No. 142 on January 1, 2002. According to the provisions of SFAS No. 142, the Company assessed the impact based on a two-step approach to assess goodwill based on applicable reporting units and reassessed any intangible assets, including goodwill, recorded in connection with previous acquisitions. The Company recorded approximately $0.2 million and $0.4 million of goodwill amortization during the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, respectively, and would have recorded approximately $0.2 million and $0.4 million of goodwill amortization during the same periods of 2002. In lieu of amortization, the Company performed the initial impairment review of goodwill during the second quarter of 2002 and will be required to perform such a review at least annually thereafter. The Company determined that there was no impairment of goodwill upon adoption of SFAS No. 142. As of June 30, 2002, the Company had unamortized goodwill of $15.2 million. As of June 30, 2002, the Company had other identifiable intangible assets of $1.9 million. Amortization expense of other identifiable intangible assets was approximately $134,000, $267,000, $5,000, and $17,000 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 and June 30, 2001 respectively. Accounting for Income Taxes: As part of the process of preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Company is required to estimate income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which it operates. This process involves estimating actual current tax exposure together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items for tax and accounting purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities. The Company must then assess the likelihood that deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income and, to the extent management believes that recovery is not likely, the Company must establish a valuation allowance. To the extent the Company increases or decreases the valuation allowance in a period, the Company must include an expense or benefit within the tax provision in the consolidated statement of operations. Significant management judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities, and any valuation allowance recorded against net deferred tax assets. As of December 31, 2001, the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance of $13.9 million due to uncertainties related to the Company's ability to utilize the net deferred tax assets, primarily consisting of certain net operating losses (NOL) carried forward, before they expire. The valuation allowance is based on management's estimate of taxable income (primarily determined from four-year cumulative historical results) and the period over which net deferred tax assets will be recoverable. It is possible that the Company could be profitable in the future at levels which cause management to conclude that it is more likely than not that the Company will realize all or a portion of the NOL carryforward. Upon reaching such a conclusion, the Company would immediately record the estimated net realizable value of the net deferred tax asset at that time and would then provide for income taxes at a rate equal to the Company's combined federal and state effective rates, which would approximate 38% under current tax rates. Subsequent revisions to the estimated net realizable value of the net deferred tax asset could cause the provision for income taxes to vary significantly from period to period, although the Company's cash payments would remain unaffected until the benefit of the NOL is completely utilized. Results of Operations The Company achieved record revenues and net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002. Revenues for the second quarter of 2002 increased 11% over the second quarter of 2001, driven by sales of the PROFILE(R) Test Systems and the expanding VERDICT(R)-II product line, as well as increased revenue from the Company's specialty laboratory services. Gross margin improved over the second quarter of 2001, reflecting improvement in Laboratory Services gross margin, as well as the continuing shift in the Company's business mix toward Product Sales at significantly higher margins. These positive trends were partially offset by higher selling, general, and administrative expenses in the second quarter of 2002 over the same quarter in 2001, reflecting increased sales and marketing efforts. The following table sets forth the percentages of total revenues represented by certain items reflected in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations:

Three Months Ended June 30, 2002 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2001 Revenues Revenues increased 11% to $13.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002, driven by a $0.8 million, or 31% increase in Product Sales revenues and a $0.5 million, or 6% increase in Laboratory Services revenues. The Product Sales segment achieved higher sales due to increased sales of substance abuse testing products and contract manufacturing services, partially offset by decreased sales of agricultural diagnostic products. Product sales from substance abuse testing products, which incorporates the EZ-SCREEN(R), PROFILE(R)-II, PROFILE(R)-ER, PROFILE-IIA(R) and VERDICT(R)-II on-site test kits and other ancillary products for the detection of abused substances, increased $0.7 million to $3.0 million in the second quarter of 2002. This growth reflected strong sales in the PROFILE-ER(R), PROFILE-IIA(R) and VERDICT-II(R) product lines resulting in a total of 614,000 disposable point of collection devices sold in the second quarter of 2002 compared to 464,000 devices sold in the same period of 2001. The PROFILE(R)-ER device is an on-site, nine drugs-of-abuse panel, targeted at hospital laboratories for emergency response screening in drugs-of-abuse overdose situations. The PROFILE-IIA(R) device, introduced in October 2001, screens for five drugs of abuse and uses a unique lateral flow test strip to screen for the five most common adulterants. The VERDICT(R)-II was developed for the prison, probation, parole and rehabilitation markets. The VERDICT(R)-II product line now consists of 16 different configurations to detect from one to seven drugs of abuse. In 2002, the Company has captured significant new business in California for its VERDICT(R)-II product line related to the implementation of California Proposition 36, "The Substance Abuse and Crime Prevention Act of 2000." An integral part of implementing Proposition 36 involves frequent drug testing of individuals subject to its mandates. Sales of contract manufacturing services, microbiological and associated products increased 41% to $0.4 million, reflecting increased revenues from both historical customers and new customers. Product sales from agricultural diagnostic products decreased 26% to $0.1 million primarily as a result of decreased purchases by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) for the Company's products. The USDA's needs for the Company's products vary from year-to-year and sales to the USDA are expected to fluctuate accordingly. The growth in Laboratory Services revenues was driven by a 10% increase in revenues from the Company's specialty laboratory services due to the expansion of clinical testing for the pharmaceutical industry and the October 2001 acquisition of Leadtech Corporation (Leadtech), a pediatric lead-testing laboratory. Specimen volume from the Company's occupational health and corporate clients increased 2%, reflecting the Company's continued success in acquiring new client relationships and gaining market share, despite the continued softness in new business employment. Gross profit Consolidated gross margin improved to 42.6% of revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2002 compared to 40.1% of revenues for the same period of 2001, reflecting improvement in Laboratory Services gross margin, as well as the continuing shift in the Company's business mix toward Product Sales at significantly higher margins. Laboratory Services gross margin was 36.2% of revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2002, up from 34.2% of revenues for the same period in 2001. This improvement was primarily attributable to the Company's continued focus on higher margin specialty laboratory testing services. Gross margin from Product Sales declined slightly to 62.3% of revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2002 from 63.0% of revenues in the comparable period of 2001, and was impacted by product mix factors. Selling, general and administrative expenses Selling, general and administrative expenses were $4.2 million, or 30.5% of revenues in the second quarter of 2002, compared to $3.5 million or 27.5% of revenues in the second quarter of 2001. The increase was primarily due to increased sales and marketing expenses related to acquiring new business and increased spending in client service support for clinical trial services. Research and development expenses Research and development expenses decreased 4% in the second quarter of 2002, reflecting a slight planned reduction in spending for the development of new products for on-site and other ancillary products in the Product Sales segment. Other expense Other expense, consisting primarily of interest expense, increased 22% in the second quarter of 2002, reflecting higher average debt levels, partially offset by lower interest rates. Income tax expense The Company does not record a tax provision as the net operating losses are sufficient to cover any taxable income. Net income In the three months ended June 30, 2002, the Company recorded net income of $1.0 million, up 5% from the same period of last year. This slight improvement was driven by an 11% increase in consolidated revenues and an improving gross margin, partially offset by increased selling, general, and administrative expenses and higher interest expense. Laboratory Services net income was $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 compared to $0.6 million in the same period of 2001. The decline in net income was primarily attributable to increased sales and marketing expenses as well as higher interest expense, partially offset by an improved gross margin. Product Sales net income was $0.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 compared to $0.4 million in the same period of 2001. This improvement was primarily driven by the growth in sales. Six Months Ended June 30, 2001 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2001 Revenues Revenues increased 9% to $26.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002, driven by a $1.5 million, or 31% increase in Product Sales revenues and a $0.6 million, or 3% increase in Laboratory Services revenues. The Product Sales segment achieved higher sales due to increased sales of substance abuse testing products and contract manufacturing services, partially offset by decreased sales of agricultural diagnostic products. Product sales from substance abuse testing products, which incorporates the EZ-SCREEN(R), PROFILE(R)-II, PROFILE(R)-ER, PROFILE-IIA(R) and VERDICT(R)-II on-site test kits and other ancillary products for the detection of abused substances, increased $1.4 million to $5.5 million in the first six months of 2002. This growth reflected strong sales in the PROFILE-ER(R), PROFILE-IIA(R) and VERDICT-II(R) product lines resulting in a total of 1,176,000 disposable point of collection devices sold in first six months of 2002 compared to 840,000 devices sold in the same period of 2001. The PROFILE(R)-ER device is an on-site, nine drugs-of-abuse panel, targeted at hospital laboratories for emergency response screening in drugs-of-abuse overdose situations. The PROFILE-IIA(R) device, introduced in October 2001, screens for five drugs of abuse and uses a unique lateral flow test strip to screen for the five most common adulterants. The VERDICT(R)-II was developed for the prison, probation, parole and rehabilitation markets.

In 2002, the Company has captured significant new business in California for its VERDICT(R)-II product line related to the implementation of California Proposition 36, "The Substance Abuse and Crime Prevention Act of 2000." An integral part of implementing Proposition 36 involves frequent drug testing of individuals subject to its mandates. Sales of contract manufacturing services, microbiological and associated products increased 36% to $0.7 million, reflecting increased revenues from both historical customers and new customers. Product sales from agricultural diagnostic products decreased 39% to $0.1 million primarily as a result of decreased purchases by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) for the Company's products. The USDA's needs for the Company's products vary from year-to-year and sales to the USDA are expected to fluctuate accordingly. The growth in Laboratory Services revenues was driven by a 15% increase in revenues from the Company's specialty laboratory services due to the expansion of clinical testing for the pharmaceutical industry and the October 2001 acquisition of Leadtech Corporation (Leadtech), a pediatric lead-testing laboratory. This positive trend was partially offset by a 3% drop in specimen volume from the Company's occupational health and corporate clients, reflecting the impact of the slowing economy and lower levels of employment hiring. However, this impact has been partially mitigated by the Company's continued success in acquiring new client relationships and gaining market share. Gross profit Consolidated gross margin improved to 41.2% of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to 38.0% of revenues for the same period of 2001, reflecting improvement in both Laboratory Services and Product Sales gross margin, as well as the continuing shift in the Company's business mix toward Product Sales at significantly higher margins. Laboratory Services gross margin was 34.2% of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2002, up from 32.8% of revenues for the same period in 2001. This improvement was primarily attributable to the Company's continued focus on higher margin specialty laboratory testing services. Gross margin from Product Sales improved to 63.1% of revenues for the first six months of 2002 from 58.9% of revenues in the comparable period of 2001, driven by an increased mix of higher margin products. Selling, general and administrative expenses Selling, general and administrative expenses were $8.0 million, or 30.5% of revenues in the first six months of 2002, compared to $6.6 million or 27.3% of revenues in same period of 2001. The increase was primarily due to increased sales and marketing expenses related to acquiring new business and increased spending in client service support for clinical trial services. Research and development expenses Research and development expenses decreased 9% in the first six months of 2002, reflecting a slight planned reduction in spending for the development of new products for on-site and other ancillary products in the Product Sales segment. Other expense Other expense, consisting primarily of interest expense, increased 30% in the fist six months of 2002, reflecting higher average debt levels, partially offset by lower interest rates. Income tax expense The Company does not record a tax provision as the net operating losses are sufficient to cover any taxable income. Net income In the six months ended June 30, 2002, the Company recorded net income of $1.5 million, up 7% from the same period of last year. This improvement was driven by a 9% increase in consolidated revenues and an improving gross margin, partially offset by increased selling, general, and administrative expenses and higher interest expense. Laboratory Services net income was $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to $0.8 million in the same period of 2001. The decline in net income was primarily attributable to increased sales and marketing expenses as well as higher interest expense, partially offset by an improved gross margin. Product Sales net income was $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to $0.6 million in the same period of 2001. This improvement was primarily driven by the growth in sales and an increased gross margin. Liquidity and Capital Resources The working capital requirements of the Company have been funded primarily by cash received from bank and debt financing and the sale of equity securities. Net cash provided by operating activities was $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to net cash used in operating activities of $0.1 million in the same period of 2001. Net cash used in investing activities, consisting of capital expenditures, was $2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to $7.6 million in the same period of 2001. In March of 2001, the Company purchased the three building, 129,039 square foot complex in St. Paul, Minnesota, where the Company's laboratory segment formerly leased 53,576 square feet. The purchase price, exclusive of expenses and closing costs, was $6.35 million and was financed by a mortgage loan from Principal Life Insurance Company of Des Moines, Iowa in the amount of $6.2 million. Net cash provided by financing activities of $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 primarily represented net proceeds from the revolving credit facility which were used to fund the Company's operations. Net cash provided by financing activities of $7.5 million in the first six months of 2001 was principally associated with proceeds received under the mortgage loan discussed above and the Company's credit agreement for the purchase of capital equipment. In January 1998, the Company entered into a Credit Security Agreement (the Wells Fargo Credit Agreement) with Wells Fargo Business Credit, Inc. The Wells Fargo Credit Agreement, as amended, consists of (i) a term loan of $3.185 million bearing interest at prime + 0.75%; (ii) a revolving line of credit, payable on demand, of not more than $6.0 million or 85% of the Company's eligible trade accounts receivable bearing interest at prime + 0.50%; and (iii) a capex note of up to $3.5 million for the purchase of capital equipment bearing interest at prime + 0.75% and (iv) availability of letters of credit in amounts not to exceed the lesser of $300,000 (less outstanding letters of credit) or the unborrowed portion of the revolving line of credit (less outstanding letters of credit). The Wells Fargo Credit Agreement requires the Company to comply with certain covenants and maintain certain quarterly financial ratios as to minimum debt service coverage and maximum debt to book net worth. It also sets minimum quarterly net income and book net worth levels, which restrict the payment of dividends. As of June 30, 2002, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants of the Wells Fargo Credit Agreement. The Company is relying on expected positive cash flow from operations, its line of credit and capex note to fund its future working capital and asset purchases. The amount of credit on the revolving line of credit is based primarily on the receivables of the Company and, as such, varies with the accounts receivable, and to a lesser degree, the inventory of the Company. As of June 30, 2002, the Company had total borrowing capacity of $6.0 million on its line of credit, of which $5.0 million was borrowed, leaving a net availability of $1.0 million as of June 30, 2002. In the short term, the Company believes that the aforementioned capital will be sufficient to fund the Company's planned operations through 2002. While there can be no assurance that the available capital will be sufficient to fund the future operations of the Company beyond 2002, the Company believes that future profitable operations, as well as access to additional capital through debt or equity financings, will be the primary means for funding the operations of the Company for the long term. The Company continues to follow a plan which includes (i) aggressively monitoring and controlling costs, (ii) increasing revenue from sales of the Company's existing products and services (iii) developing new products and services, as well as (iv) continuing to selectively pursue synergistic acquisitions to increase the Company's critical mass. However, there can be no assurance that costs can be controlled, revenues can be increased, financing may be obtained, acquisitions successfully consummated, or that the Company will be profitable. Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices The impact of inflation and changing prices on the Company has been primarily limited to salary, laboratory and operating supplies and rent increases and has historically not been material to the Company's operations. In the future, the Company may not be able to increase the prices of laboratory testing by an amount sufficient to cover the cost of inflation, although the Company is responding to these concerns by refocusing the laboratory operations towards higher margin testing (including clinical and pharmaceutical trials) as well as emphasizing the marketing, sales and operations of the Product Sales business. Seasonality The Company believes that the laboratory testing business is subject to seasonal fluctuations in pre-employment screening. These seasonal fluctuations include reduced volume in the summer months, year-end holiday periods, and other major holidays. In addition, inclement weather may have a negative impact on volume thereby reducing net revenues and cash flow. Impact of New Accounting Standards In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations." SFAS No. 143 addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. SFAS No. 143 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2003. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 143. In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities." SFAS No. 146 requires that a liability for costs associated with exit or disposal activities be recognized when the liability is incurred. Existing generally accepted accounting principles provide for the recognition of such costs at the date of management's commitment to an exit plan. In addition, SFAS No. 146 requires that the liability be measured at fair value and be adjusted for changes in estimated cash flows. The provisions of SFAS No. 146 are effective for exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 146. Item 3 QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK. Market risk is the risk that the Company will incur losses due to adverse changes in interest rates or currency exchange rates and prices. The Company's primary market risk exposures are to changes in interest rates. During 2001 and through June 30, 2002, the Company did not have sales denominated in foreign currencies nor did it have any subsidiaries located in foreign countries. As such, the Company is not exposed to market risk associated with currency exchange rates and prices. As of June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, the Company had $1.05 million and $100,000 of subordinated notes outstanding at fixed interest rates of 10% and 8.5%, respectively. In addition, at June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, the Company had a $6.0 million and $6.1 million mortgage loan payable to Principal Life insurance Company, respectively, at a fixed annual rate of 7.23% for the first five years at which time the rate will be renegotiated by the parties. The Company also had capital leases at various fixed rates. These financial instruments are subject to interest rate risk and will increase or decrease in value if market interest rates change. The Company had approximately $9.1 million and $6.6 million outstanding on its line of credit and long-term debt issued under the Wells Fargo Credit Agreement as of June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively. The debt under the Wells Fargo Credit Agreement is held at variable interest rates. The Company has cash flow exposure on its committed and uncommitted line of credit and long-term debt due to its variable prime rate pricing. At June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, a 1% change in the prime rate would not materially increase or decrease interest expense or cash flows. PART II OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1 LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
