NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

June 30, 2011

1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of MEDTOX Scientific, Inc. (the Company) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011 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, 2010.

2.  SEGMENTS

The Company has two reportable segments:  Laboratory Services and Product Sales.  The Laboratory Services segment consists of MEDTOX Laboratories, Inc. and New Brighton Business Center, LLC (NBBC).  Services provided include drugs-of-abuse testing services; clinical & other laboratory services, which include clinical toxicology, clinical testing for occupational health clinics, clinical testing for physician offices, pediatric lead testing, heavy metals analyses, courier delivery, and medical surveillance; and clinical trial services which include central laboratory services, assay development, bio-analytical, bio-equivalence and pharmacokinetic testing.  The Product Sales segment, which includes POCT (point-of-collection testing) disposable diagnostic devices, consists of MEDTOX Diagnostics, Inc.  Products manufactured include easy to use, inexpensive, on-site drug tests such as PROFILE®-II, PROFILE®-II A, PROFILE®-III, PROFILE®-III A, PROFILE-II ER®, PROFILE®-III ER, PROFILE®-IV, PROFILE®-V, MEDTOXScan®, VERDICT®-II and SURE-SCREEN®, in addition to a variety of other diagnostic tests for the detection of alcohol.  MEDTOX Diagnostics also provides contract manufacturing services in its Food and Drug Administration (FDA) registered/ISO 13845 certified facility.

5.  INCOME TAXES

At December 31, 2010, the Company had federal net operating loss carryforwards (NOLs) of approximately $4.8 million, which are available to offset future taxable income.  The Company's federal NOLs expire in varying amounts each year from 2023 through 2029 in accordance with applicable federal tax regulations and the timing of when the NOLs were incurred.  Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code restricts the annual utilization of certain NOLs incurred prior to a change in ownership.  However, such limitation is not expected to impair the realization of these NOLs.  In the future, subsequent revisions to the estimated net realizable value of these deferred tax assets 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 NOLs is completely utilized or expires unused.

- 8 -

6.  CONTINGENCIES

Leases - The Company leases offices and facilities and office equipment under certain operating leases, which expire on various dates through October 2016.  Under the terms of the facility leases, a pro rata share of operating expenses and real estate taxes are charged as additional rent.

Legal - The Company is party to various legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business activities, none of which, in the opinion of management, are expected to have a material  impact on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Item 2:  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This Form 10-Q contains certain forward looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which are intended to be covered by the safe harbors created by such acts.  For this purpose, any statements that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward looking statements, including the statements under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” regarding our strategy, future operations, future expectations and future estimates, future financial position or results, and future plans and objectives of management.  Those statements in this Form 10-Q containing the words “believes”, “anticipates”, “plans”, “expects”, and similar expressions constitute forward looking statements, although not all forward looking statements contain such identifying words.  Examples of forward looking statements include, but are not limited to (i) projections of, or statements regarding, future revenues, income or loss, earnings or loss per share, capital expenditures, dividends, inflation, capital structure, margins and other financial items, (ii) statements regarding our plans and objectives and the impacts thereof, including planned introductions of new products and services, planned exiting of lines of business and planned regulatory filings, or estimates or predictions of actions by customers, suppliers, competitors or regulatory authorities, (iii) estimates of market sizes and market opportunities, (iv) statements regarding economic conditions, (v) statements regarding our reliance on expected positive cash flow from operations and our Line of Credit to fund future working capital and asset purchases, and (vi) statements of assumptions underlying other statements and statements about our business.

The forward looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q are based on our current expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections about our Company and its businesses.  All such forward looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties, including those risks identified in the next paragraph, many of which are beyond our control.  Although we believe that the assumptions underlying our forward looking statements are reasonable, any of the assumptions could prove inaccurate.  Actual results may differ materially from those indicated by the forward looking statements included in this Form 10-Q.  In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward looking statements included in this Form 10-Q, you should not consider the inclusion of such information as a representation by us or anyone else that we will achieve such results.  Moreover, we assume no obligation to update these forward looking statements to reflect actual results or changes in assumptions, expectations, or projections.  In addition, our financial and performance outlook concerning future revenues, margins, earnings, earnings per share, and other operating or performance results does not include the impact of any future acquisitions, future acquisition-related expenses or accruals, or any future restructuring or other charges that may occur from time to time due to management decisions and changing business circumstances and conditions.

The following is a listing of some of the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by the forward looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q:

·   changes in federal, state, local and third party payer regulations or policies or other future reforms in the health care system (or in the interpretation of current regulations), affecting governmental and third-party coverage or reimbursement for laboratory testing

- 10 -

·   loss or suspension of a license or imposition of a fine or penalties under, or future changes in, or interpretations of, the law or regulations of the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Act of 1967, the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), or those of Medicare, Medicaid, the False Claims Act or other federal, state or local agencies

·   failure to comply with HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act), including changes to federal and state privacy and security obligations and changes to HIPAA, including those changes included within HITECH (Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health) and any subsequent amendments, which could result in increased costs, denial of claims and/or significant penalties

·   failure to maintain the security of customer-related information could damage the Company’s reputation with customers, cause it to incur substantial additional costs and become subject to litigation

·   changes in FDA (Food and Drug Administration) regulations or policies (or in the interpretation of current regulations) affecting laboratory developed tests and the 510(k) clearance process

·   increased competition, including price competition

·   changes in demand for our services and products by our customers

·   changes in general economic and business conditions, both nationally and internationally, which can influence the level of job growth and, in turn, the level of pre-employment drug screening activity

·   technological or regulatory developments, or evolving industry standards, that could affect or delay the sale of our products

·   our ability to attract and retain experienced and qualified personnel

·   risks and uncertainties with respect to our patents and proprietary rights, including:

o   other companies challenging our patents

o   patents issued to other companies that may harm our ability to do business

o   other companies designing around technologies we have developed

o   our inability to obtain appropriate licenses from third parties

o   our inability to protect our trade secrets

o   risk of infringement upon the proprietary rights of others

o   our inability to prevent others from infringing on our proprietary rights

·   our inability to control the costs in our business

·   our inability to obtain sufficient financing to continue to sustain or expand our operations

·   adverse results in litigation matters

·   our inability to continue to develop innovative products and services

- 11 -

·   our inability to provide our services in a timely manner

·   an unforeseen decrease in the acceptance of current new products and services, including in the market for clinical laboratory testing for physicians’ offices and patients

·   fluctuations in clinical trial activities

·   inaccurate information regarding market opportunities

·   failure to receive regulatory approvals and clearances

·   other factors, including those set forth in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010

The above listing should not be construed as exhaustive; we cannot predict all the factors that could cause results to differ materially from those indicated by the forward looking statements.

Executive Overview

Our Business

We are engaged primarily in distinct, but very much related businesses, which for financial reporting purposes are divided into two reportable segments: Laboratory Services and Product Sales. For financial information relating to our segments, see Note 2 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Laboratory Services

Our “Laboratory Services” business segment includes the activities of our wholly-owned subsidiary, MEDTOX Laboratories, Inc.  MEDTOX Laboratories, Inc. engages in drugs-of-abuse testing services, providing these services to private and public companies, drug treatment counseling centers, criminal justice facilities, occupational health clinics and hospitals, as well as third party administrators.

MEDTOX Laboratories, Inc. also provides clinical and other laboratory services which consist of clinical toxicology, clinical testing for occupational health clinics, and heavy metal, trace element and solvent analyses.  We provide these services to hospitals, clinics, HMOs and other laboratories.  Testing is conducted using methodologies that include various immunoassays, gas liquid chromatography, gas chromatography/mass spectrometry, and high performance liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry.  We recently expanded our clinical & other laboratory services to include laboratory tests used by physicians and other healthcare providers for the purpose of diagnosing or treating disease or illness or the assessment of health in humans.  Testing is performed on blood, body fluids or tissues.  Our comprehensive clinical laboratory services include clinical chemistry, hematology, coagulation, urinalysis, immunology/serology (viruses, infectious diseases, immune system), immunohematology (blood typing, antibody screens), microbiology (bacteria, parasites), anatomical pathology/cytology (tissue biopsies, cancer), molecular diagnostics (infectious diseases, genetic disorders) and sub-specialties of these categories.  We also provide services in the areas of logistics management, data management and program management.  These services support our underlying business of laboratory analysis and provide added value to our clients.

- 12 -

MEDTOX Laboratories, Inc. also provides clinical trial services which includes central laboratory services, assay (test) development, bio-analytical, bio-equivalence and pharmacokinetic testing.  Central laboratory services include tests that are used to monitor the safety and efficacy of a drug.  These tests or “safety labs” include tests that are performed in our general clinical laboratory and pathology laboratory such as clinical chemistries (liver function, kidney function, cardiac and bone), hematology (blood count), immunology (immune status), and flow cytometry (cell identification).  Assay development, bio-analytical and bio-equivalence studies are performed in our bio-analytical laboratory.  These tests are conducted using methodologies such as immunoassay, gas chromatography, high performance liquid chromatography, gas chromatography/mass spectrometry and tandem mass spectrometry.  Clients for our clinical testing services include clinical trial sponsors (pharmaceutical and biotech companies), clinical research organizations (CROs), research organizations, and investigators with trial management, patient recruitment/enrollment and site management.

The New Brighton Business Center, LLC (NBBC) is a wholly-owned limited liability company formed for the sole purpose of acquiring the facilities in St. Paul, Minnesota, where our Laboratory Services administrative offices and laboratory operations are located.

Product Sales

Our “Product Sales” business segment consists of our wholly-owned subsidiary, MEDTOX Diagnostics, Inc.  MEDTOX Diagnostics, Inc. is engaged in the development, manufacturing, and distribution of a variety of POCT diagnostic drug screening devices, such as our PROFILE®-II, PROFILE®-II A, PROFILE®-III, PROFILE®-III A, PROFILE-II ER®, PROFILE®-III ER, PROFILE®-IV, PROFILE®-V, MEDTOXScan® reader, VERDICT®-II, and SURE-SCREEN® products, in addition to other diagnostic tests for the detection of alcohol.  MEDTOX Diagnostics, Inc. also provides contract manufacturing services, such as coagulation market controls.  The operations of the Product Sales segment are located in Burlington, North Carolina, where we maintain the offices, research and development laboratories, production operations, and warehouse/distribution facilities.

Key Trends Influencing Our Operating Results

Our management believes that there are several notable trends that are currently influencing, and are expected in the foreseeable future to continue to influence, our operating results.  These include:

Economic Uncertainties Causing Variability in Testing Volumes in the Drugs-of-Abuse Business

In the first and second quarters of 2011, testing volume from our existing workplace drugs-of-abuse clients was lower than in the prior year periods, which we primarily attributed to lower new job creation and reduced employment levels and corresponding drops in hiring caused by economic uncertainties.  We feel economic uncertainties may continue to cause variability in our workplace drugs-of-abuse testing volume in the foreseeable future.

Increased POCT Diagnostic Device Test Competition

We have experienced increased competition with respect to our POCT diagnostic tests from systems and products developed by others, many of whom compete solely on price.  We have continued to experience increased price competition for certain diagnostic testing devices, particularly in the probation, parole and rehabilitation market.

Our Strategy

Our strategy is to drive profitable growth by building market share, leveraging our existing infrastructure and technical expertise, and driving innovation.  We maintain a disciplined culture, focused on the successful execution of our strategy and plans.

Building Market Share

We have solid niche positions in large markets, relative to our size, that allow us to build market share by offering high quality products and services that are delivered rapidly, priced competitively, and supported by excellent customer service and value-added services.  Our value added services include data management, collection site management, training, technical support and expertise, as well as review of drug testing policies for clients.

Our success in penetrating new accounts has represented a significant component of our growth in market share.  Over the past few years, we have expanded our number of sales representatives which has increased our business from new accounts and helps offset risks from uncertain economic conditions that may cause lower activity from existing workplace drugs-of-abuse clients.

Leveraging Existing Infrastructure and Technical Expertise

We leverage our existing infrastructure and technical expertise to facilitate top line growth and improve operating margins.

We expanded our clinical laboratory capabilities to include clinical and anatomic pathology, microbiology, molecular diagnostics, and other specialized testing capabilities.  This expansion leverages existing capabilities and opens up new revenue opportunities by offering full-service testing capabilities to the physician office market.

Our LEAN and Six-Sigma initiatives support our effort to leverage existing infrastructure by improving quality and productivity, cutting costs, and increasing throughput.  LEAN is a highly disciplined process that helps us focus on reducing waste and eliminating unnecessary steps in our business processes.  Our Six-Sigma initiatives address quality and variability within processes. While all key departments in the Laboratory Services and Product Sales segments have now been through initial LEAN processes, as an organization we recognize that LEAN is an ongoing philosophy, not a project to be “finished.”

Driving Innovation

We have introduced a number of innovative products and services.

In 2011 and 2010, we continued the expansion of our Prescription management business.  We offer a comprehensive testing program serving this market under the name ToxAssure®.

In 2009, we introduced the next generation PROFILE®-V MEDTOXScan® Drugs-of-Abuse Test System with added functionality for hospital laboratories and emergency rooms.

Critical Accounting Policies

There were no significant changes to our critical accounting policies during the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Results of Operations

In evaluating our financial performance, our management has primarily focused on the following objectives: revenue growth, maximizing operating income, increasing our cash flows and strengthening our balance sheet.  The first two of these objectives are discussed in this section.  The other two are addressed under “Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

To maximize our operating income, we have sought revenue growth, improved gross margin and reduced selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense as a percentage of revenues.  As discussed below, during the second quarter of 2011 and the first six months of this year, we were able to achieve revenue growth and improved gross margin.  During the first six months of this year, we also achieved a reduction in SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenues.

Our Laboratory Services segment includes revenues from workplace drugs-of-abuse testing, clinical and other laboratory services and clinical trial services.  Our revenues from drugs-of-abuse testing increased 6% to $10.8 million and 8% to $20.4 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011, respectively.  The increase in both periods was primarily a result of an increase in new account revenues, which increased 17.8% and 15.9% for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011, respectively.  The increase in both periods was mitigated by an 11.4% and 8.1% decrease in revenue from our existing client base for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011, respectively, primarily due to continued reduced hiring levels due to economic conditions.  Pricing for our workplace drugs-of-abuse testing services tends to be fairly stable overall; however, the average price per testing specimen can vary slightly from quarter-to-quarter.  Test price can vary by client based on the percentage of samples that test positive for drugs-of-abuse and the average number of samples per shipment.

- 15 -

Revenues in our clinical and other laboratory services increased 21% to $9.1 million and 18% to $17.1 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011, respectively.  The improvement in both periods was due to continued strong growth generated by our expanded clinical laboratory capabilities and diversification initiatives, including testing for prescription management.

Revenues in clinical trial services increased 14% to $2.3 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2011 and continued the solid performance shown in previous quarters.  For the six month period ended June 30, 2011, revenues increased 69% to $4.9 million.  The significant increase in the first six months of 2011 reflects the impact of the reversal of the slow-down of projects and deferral of work into future quarters which we experienced in the first quarter of 2010.  Revenues from clinical trial services can fluctuate from quarter-to-quarter based on the project nature, size, and the actual timing of clinical trials.

Our Product Sales segment includes revenues from point-of-collection on site testing products (POCT), contract manufacturing services and other diagnostic products.

Sales of POCT products, which consist of the PROFILE®-II, PROFILE®-II A, PROFILE-II ER®, PROFILE®-III ER, PROFILE®-III, PROFILE®-III A, PROFILE®-IV, PROFILE®-V, VERDICT®-II and SURE-SCREEN® on-site test kits and other ancillary products for the detection of abused substances, increased 12% to $5.3 million and 15% to $10.1 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011, respectively.  The increase in both periods was due primarily to  increased sales of Profile®-V sold into the hospital market with our MEDTOXScan® Reader.  The increase in the six month period ended June 30, 2011 was also due to increased sales into the government market with our SURE-SCREEN® devices, as well as improved sales in the workplace drugs-of-abuse market with our Profile®-II A and Profile®-III A products.  Overall, pricing for our POCT devices was fairly stable with the prior year periods.

Sales of contract manufacturing services decreased 61% to $0.2 million and 21% to $0.8 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011, respectively, as we are phasing out of this business and expect the remaining client relationship to terminate by the end of 2011.

Consolidated gross margin was 43.3% and 42.0% of revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, compared to 41.1% and 39.8% of revenues for the same periods in 2010.

Laboratory Services gross margin was 38.8% and 37.3% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, up from 36.5% and 35.0% for the same periods of 2010.  The increase in both periods in 2011 was primarily due to a change in test mix and an increase in volume.

Gross margin from Product Sales was 60.7% and 59.5% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, compared to 57.6% and 57.0% for the same periods of 2010.  The increase in both periods in 2011 was primarily due to sales mix, with an increase in our higher margin PROFILE®-V devices sold into the hospital market.

	$	19,121		35.6	%	$	16,786		36.2	%	$	2,335		14	%

   Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.  Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased to $9.3 million, or 33.2% of revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $8.2 million, or 32.7% of revenues for the same period in 2010.  For the six months ended June 30, 2011, SG&A expenses increased to $17.9 million, or 33.4% of revenues, compared to $15.7 million, or 33.8% of revenues for the same period in 2010.  The increase in both periods was primarily due to increased costs associated with the growth in clinical revenue and increased incentive-based compensation.  Increased expenses associated with the growth in our clinical & other laboratory services business include an increase in bad debt and billing and collection expenses related to increased third party and patient billing.

Research and Development Expenses.  Research and development expenses increased 9% to $0.6 million and 8% to $1.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively.  The increase in both periods was primarily due to increased spending for on-going projects in our Product Sales segment.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our working capital requirements have been funded primarily by profitable operations.  Cash and cash equivalents were $1.3 million at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

- 18 -

Net cash provided by operating activities was $5.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $3.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010.  The increase was attributable to an increase in net income, excluding non-cash charges such as depreciation and amortization, deferred compensation, deferred income taxes and provision for losses on accounts receivable.

Net cash used in investing activities, consisting of capital expenditures, was $2.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $2.4 million for the same period of 2010.   In both periods, these expenditures included equipment purchased and costs incurred to upgrade equipment, improve efficiencies and increase service levels to our clients.

Net cash used in financing activities was $2.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $0.1 million in the prior year period.  The change was primarily due to an increase in the repurchase of shares of our common stock, net payments on our line of credit, as well as a decrease in the net proceeds from the exercise of stock options.

In the first six months of 2011, we repurchased 108,963 shares of our common stock in the open market for a cost of $1.7 million.  In the first six months of 2010, we repurchased 23,290 shares of our common stock in the open market for a cost of $0.3 million. The shares repurchased were placed in trust to fund our Long-Term Incentive Plan and Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan.

We are a party to a credit security agreement (the "Wells Fargo Credit Agreement") with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the “Bank”) maturing on August 31, 2011.  We are currently in the process of negotiating the renewal of the Wells Fargo Credit Agreement.  The Wells Fargo Credit Agreement, as amended, consists of a revolving line of credit ("Line of Credit") of up to $12.0 million bearing interest at a fluctuating rate of 2.25% above the daily three month LIBOR, as defined and calculated by the Bank.

Subject to certain conditions, the Wells Fargo Credit Agreement also provides for the issuance of letters of credit which, if drawn upon, would be deemed advances under the Line of Credit.  We are required to pay a fee equal to 0.25% per annum on the average daily unused amount of the Line of Credit.  We have granted the Bank a first priority security interest in all of the Company’s accounts receivable, other rights to payment, general intangibles, inventory, and equipment to secure all indebtedness of the Company to the Bank.

Extensions of credit under the Wells Fargo Credit Agreement are subject to certain conditions.  The Wells Fargo Credit Agreement also requires us to comply with certain financial covenants, including maintaining, on a consolidated basis:

·   Tangible Net Worth of not less than $35,000,000 at each month end, with “Tangible Net Worth” defined as the aggregate of total stockholders’ equity plus subordinated debt less any intangible assets.

·   Current Ratio of not less than 1.45 to 1.0 at each month end, with “Current Ratio” defined as total current assets divided by total current liabilities.

·   Pre-tax profit of not less than $1,500,000 on a rolling four-quarter basis, determined as of each fiscal quarter-end.

- 19 -

We are relying on expected positive cash flow from operations and our Line of Credit to fund our future working capital and asset purchases.  At June 30, 2011, we had total borrowing capacity of $12.0 million on our Line of Credit, of which $1.9 million was borrowed, leaving a net availability of $10.1 million.

We were in compliance with all of the financial covenants under the Wells Fargo Credit Agreement at June 30, 2011.

Off-Balance Sheet Transactions

The Company does not maintain any off-balance sheet transactions, arrangements, obligations or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or others that are expected to have a material current or future effect on the Company’s financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

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 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 flows.

Income Taxes [Abstract]

INCOME TAXES

5.  INCOME TAXES

At December 31, 2010, the Company had federal net operating loss carryforwards (NOLs) of approximately $4.8 million, which are available to offset future taxable income.  The Company's federal NOLs expire in varying amounts each year from 2023 through 2029 in accordance with applicable federal tax regulations and the timing of when the NOLs were incurred.  Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code restricts the annual utilization of certain NOLs incurred prior to a change in ownership.  However, such limitation is not expected to impair the realization of these NOLs.  In the future, subsequent revisions to the estimated net realizable value of these deferred tax assets 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 NOLs is completely utilized or expires unused.
