Business - ------- General The Company was founded in 1899 to provide business information reports to the insurance industry. During its first 70 years, the Company established a nationwide network of branch offices through which it successfully developed relationships with most of the leading insurance companies in the United States. In the early 1970's, to meet the increasingly sophisticated needs of its insurance industry clients, the Company began using nurses and other skilled professionals to provide physical examinations and health profiles for persons applying for life and health insurance. By the early 1980's, the Company had developed an extensive branch office network and had gained experience in providing health-related services. These factors, coupled with favorable demographic and health care cost containment trends, led the Company to expand into the health care field by providing home health care services to individuals, and nurses and other personnel for supplemental staffing to health care facilities. To focus on its growing health information examination services and health care operations, the Company sold most of its original business information operation in 1988, sold its direct marketing services business in 1992, and sold the majority of its facilities for servicing medically fragile children in 1994. In 1995, the Company sold its Nurse's House Call home healthcare segment and, as part of that transaction, acquired a major competitor in the health information segment, American Service Bureau, Inc., d/b/a ASB Meditest ("ASB Meditest") of Framingham, Mass. In 1998, the Company acquired a majority interest in Heritage Labs International, LLC. Today, the Company is nationally recognized as the largest provider of health information services through a network of over 200 branch offices in 50 states. Through its alternate site health information operations the Company provides medical and paramedical examinations (which typically involve taking a medical history, recording physical information and obtaining specimens) and related services to life and health insurance companies. Business Strategy Management believes that the Company is well positioned to continue to capitalize on several favorable trends currently affecting the alternate site health information industry. The alternate site health information services business which provides specialty underwriting information services to the country's life and health insurance industry, continues to show trends which indicate an increase in life and health insurance underwriting volume, stricter underwriting standards for life and health insurance and a basic consolidation of health information companies serving the industry. The Company's commitment to automation has placed it in the position of being the leading nationwide automated provider of health information services. Development of electronic exam technology via laptops has led to the introduction of our "Teledex" automated exam and application services. These services have been widely accepted as a solution to many clients' needs for accurate and timely health information. The formation in 1996 and 1997 of partnerships with new clients which utilize direct response to sell policies, exemplify the result of our investment in technology in the past three years. As more insurance is being sold to applicants through direct response, where there is no agent to gather the pertinent underwriting information, the need for "Teledex" becomes more critical. Consequently, the value of our direct contact services to assess risk classification increases in this agentless environment, thereby increasing the demand. It is management's objective to expand the Company's capabilities to provide additional database services to the insurance industry as it faces new challenges in its changing market. 2 Over the past several years, the Company's health information services have grown through internal development of branch offices and acquisitions of strategically located similar businesses. The acquisition of ASB Meditest in 1995 and Heritage Labs in 1998, underscored management's intention to continue to expand its health information services business through internal growth and strategic acquisitions. The Company's ongoing strategy is to combine these positive industry trends, increased market presence, entrance into related markets and our superior technology to become the leading health information services provider in the life and health insurance industry. Health Information Services Industry Overview Management believes that continued growth in the health information business results from an increase in the number of medical and paramedical examinations ordered and from additional testing procedures and new services required by insurance companies. Additionally, several important trends in the insurance industry point to increased demand for the Company's health information services: Stricter Underwriting Standards. Many life and health insurance companies have been lowering the thresholds of insurance coverage requiring pre-insurance examinations, due in part to growing concern over substance abuse, AIDS and other illnesses and to the improved ability to identify AIDS and other life-threatening diseases through laboratory testing. As technological advances enable home detection of additional risks, the Company anticipates an increased demand for such procedures as part of the examination process. Consolidation. To improve quality control and reduce administrative costs, life and health insurance companies are reducing the number of health information providers approved for use by local agents. Management believes that the Company has benefited and will continue to benefit from these consolidation efforts because of its reputation for providing prompt, high quality service and its well established relationships with most of the major insurance companies at both national and local levels. The acquisition of ASB Meditest has further enhanced both our ability and standing among our client base. Restructuring. Costs and competitive pressures are forcing many of our clients in the life and health industry to change their methods of doing business. Procedures for completing applications, processing and even the underwriting of risks are being outsourced from what were traditionally in-house operations to more efficient, cost effective third parties. This is a rapidly growing area of new services. Nontraditional distribution outlets. Consolidation in the banking, investment banking and securities industries have resulted in the defacto formation of new life insurance distribution channels. Commercial banks, large discount brokerage businesses and investment houses are all combining with a primary focus of offering financial products for retirement and estate planning, which frequently include life insurance policies, through these recently developed channels. The Company believes that it is well positioned to capitalize on these trends for several reasons. The Company's network of highly automated branch offices enables it to provide services nationwide in all urban and rural locations. On-site branch office management is accountable for local operations which enhances the Company's ability to establish and maintain relationships with local insurance agents. The 1993 acquisition of Lifedata Medical Services, Inc., a company with a large number of rural examiners, enhanced this long term objective. The 1995 acquisition of ASB Meditest added additional locations rounding our total nationwide to over 200. Also, the Company is committed to providing superior quality service and has established and implemented a strict set of quality assurance standards. Because the Company owns most of its branch offices and does not rely on franchisees to provide medical and paramedical examinations, it is able to maintain consistent enforcement of these Company-wide standards. Finally, the Company provides accurate and complete 3 examination results to insurance clients, in most cases within three to five days of receiving the initial request for an examination. The Company's ability to process examinations rapidly is due, in part, to the proximity of its branch offices to the homes and workplaces of insurance applicants, ongoing improvements in data processing and management information systems, and the use of medically trained personnel who promptly evaluate insurance applicants and efficiently process examination results. The Company has increased resources in its quality assurance review system to make the quality of its health information services among the best in the life and health insurance industry. Services Portamedic(R) -- Medical and Paramedical Examinations Management believes that the Company is the leader of the five largest national providers of medical and paramedical examinations for applicants seeking insurance coverage from life and health insurers. Examinations are provided nationwide under the Portamedic trade name through over 200 branch locations in 50 states. During 1998, the Company performed over 2.5 million paramedical examinations, covering all 50 states, Guam and Puerto Rico. Each branch office is staffed with a branch manager, who is responsible for local business development and general oversight of the local health information operation, and a support staff responsible for coordinating examination and reporting procedures. Each branch office typically uses full-time and part-time employees, and contract personnel to perform examinations, including registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, physicians, and medical and paramedical technicians. The Company's examiners provide examinations at the request of insurance agents at times and locations convenient to applicants, including the applicants' home or place of business. Each office is automated via a computer network using Novell networking software. The application software is written and maintained by in-house personnel. The Company has 14 "contract affiliates" from the acquisition of ASB Meditest, which the Company feels complements its own branch network in many geographical areas. Since almost all of the Company's examiners are nurses and other medically trained professionals, the Company is able to provide its clients with a full range of medical and paramedical examination services. These services primarily involve recording an applicant's medical history, height and weight, measuring blood pressure, and collecting urine specimens. In addition, examiners increasingly perform more sophisticated procedures requested by insurance underwriters, including electro-cardiograms, lung capacity measurements and blood sample collections which are sent to independent laboratories for testing for AIDS and other life-threatening diseases. Both written and electronic reports of examination results are provided to insurance clients typically within three to five days of the initial request for an examination. Infolink(TM) Services Group Under the Infolink name, the Company offers comprehensive life and health inspection reports and Attending Physician Statements to its insurance clients. During 1998, the Company provided over 303,000 Infolink reports, a decrease from 1997. This volume decrease was due to the Company selectively eliminating marginally profitable business. The ASB Meditest acquisition provided a substantial complementary operation in Chicago and we have focused new product development in this Chicago office. These reports, available in varying degrees of detail pursuant to a client's request, assist insurance underwriters in developing a more comprehensive profile of an insurance applicant. A life and health inspection report includes information relating to an insurance applicant's lifestyle, employment history and financial status. A member of the branch office staff prepares the Infolink report primarily based upon telephone interviews with the applicant, his or her employer, his or her business and personal associates, and electronically transmits the report to the insurance underwriter. An Attending Physician Statement provides details of an applicant's medical history and is 4 obtained, with the insurance applicant's consent, from notes and records maintained by the physician responsible for administering treatment. Our new Teledex service offers sophisticated electronically produced exams to our clients and was developed for what we see as a natural fit with the trends for "smart underwriting" (electronic) now emerging within the life and health insurance industry. Management expects that Infolink reports will become increasingly important to insurance underwriters as insurance companies continue to tighten underwriting standards. The Company is a leader in applying technology to facilitate the gathering and distribution of health information to the life and health industry. In 1995, the Company developed an automated pen-based laptop computer that permits the immediate input of data into the Company's computer network by examiners at the examination site. This same technology was utilized in the development of our Teledex services which we feel will both replace and enhance the laptop technology initiated by the Company. Management intends to continue to integrate computer technology into its health information services business to provide additional data needed by insurance companies to make underwriting decisions. In 1995, we added the ability to complete and transmit ECG's in the same fashion. From time to time, the Company performs other services such as wellness health screening for corporations and other organizations outside of the insurance industry. These other services presently do not constitute a significant portion of the Company's health information business. Total Company revenues follow: -- 1998 -- --1997 -- % of % of Amount Total Revenues Amount Total Revenue ------ -------------- ------ ------------- Portamedic $170.7 92.2% $150.9 91.2% Infolink 14.5 7.8% 14.5 8.8% ------ --------- ------ --------- $185.2 100.0% $165.4 100.0% Quality Assurance and Training The quality and reputation of personnel and operations are critical to the continued success of the Company's business. Management believes that its insurance clients view the Company as a leader in terms of overall quality of services. The Company's commitment to the highest quality standards is supported by its quality assurance and training program. In 1995 the Company developed the ability to monitor all health services via an automated statistical quality control program. As a result of this advanced capability, it has greater control over the quality of services performed and as a result, 1996, 1997 and 1998 were years of unequaled quality performance. At present, the Company is initiating an even more precise quality assurance system geared towards an enhanced statistical system. At the branch office level, local management is accountable for maintaining quality controls. In each branch office, examiners are reviewed for proper examination procedures and reporting requirements. Quality assurance specialists monitor examiners' performances through detailed analyses of examinations, provide examiners with periodic evaluations and conduct regular audits of branch office quality controls to assist examiners and branch managers in continually improving the quality of services performed. At the corporate headquarters level, quality assurance personnel use a comprehensive management information system to compile and review Company-wide information regarding the accuracy and timeliness of examinations and reports. These personnel regularly evaluate the Company's examination procedures and communicate with insurance company clients to address any specific evaluation results and, where appropriate, suggest revisions to improve the format of clients' examination procedures and reports. 5 Marketing and Sales The Company markets Portamedic and Infolink health information services on a national level through seven full-time sales representatives who call on senior underwriting executives at the home offices of insurance companies. The Company serves approximately 900 active life and health underwriting clients, including their extensive network of agency, district, and brokerage offices. National sales representatives promote the Company's consistently high quality of service and rapid response time to examination requests and are responsible for maintaining the Company's position on each insurance company's approved list of examination providers. The Company regularly attends and occasionally sponsors client conferences to provide national sales representatives with opportunities to further develop key relationships. In 1996, the Company launched its Healthdex services which provide a variety of services to the wellness and pharmaceutical sectors outside our core markets. We began new initiatives in this product line, which we felt would have a substantial impact on our new service offerings. This initiative has been slow in realizing meaningful revenues, but the company still expects a significant contribution in future periods. At the local level, branch managers, and in certain offices, additional marketing personnel, market the Company's services directly to the local insurance agents and local managers, who have the authority to select examination providers from the list approved by the insurance companies' home offices. These local marketing efforts highlight the quality of the Company's examiners and the speed and accuracy of its services, including the ability of each branch to quickly ascertain the status of each service request through the Company's automated branch management information system. The Company has developed a comprehensive automated branch management information system which is now "on-line" in all branch offices. A key benefit of the system is that it permits each branch office to instantly and regularly monitor the status of a particular examination request, which results in more responsive client service. The Company has been making its "status" information available to its clients on a dial in electronic basis. Management believes that the Company is the sole provider within the industry to offer this improved service. The system also enables personnel at the Company's corporate headquarters to compile company-wide information regarding quality assurance standards as well as other administrative and accounting information. Competition The health information business is highly competitive, and certain of the Company's competitors in this business have greater resources than the Company, and offer services not offered by the Company or offer similar services at prices lower than those charged by the Company. The industry consists of five major competitors. One of the competitors was part of a spin-off in 1997 and then sold by the new company to a home healthcare company providing pediatric homecare services. Management believes that the Company is the leader of five firms operating nationally to provide health information services to insurance companies. A large, though decreasing number of regional and local firms also offer these services. In management's opinion, the principal competitive factors in the health information services market are speed of response, delivery of complete and accurate information, and price. Most recently, technological capabilities have taken the forefront in our clients needs. The Company, through its nationwide branch office network and highly qualified examiners, provides accurate and reliable health information reports at competitive prices to its insurance clients promptly, and generally within three to five days of receiving a request for an examination. Personnel At December 31, 1998, the Company employed approximately 1091 full-time and 647 part-time employees, none of whom is represented by a collective bargaining agreement. The Company also contracts 6 with over 8,700 medically trained examiners. The Company's ability to recruit skilled personnel is essential to its continued growth and success. Management attributes the Company's success in recruiting skilled personnel in its health information business to the flexible work schedules and varied work assignments it offers to its examiners. Management believes that these factors will enable the Company to continue to attract and retain qualified personnel. Regulation Various aspects of the Company's business are regulated by the federal government and the states in which the Company currently operates. Although the Company has been able to comply with applicable regulations to date, there can be no assurance that it will continue to be able to comply with specific requirements of certain states. States periodically change the regulations and licensing requirements that apply to the Company. If such changes occur, or if the Company expands its operations into new jurisdictions or services, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to comply with regulations and licensing requirements, although the Company will be required to do so before providing service. Management is not aware of any pending federal or state environmental laws or regulations that would have a material adverse effect on the Company's business or competitive position or that would require material capital expenditures on the part of the Company to effect compliance. Insurance and Litigation The Company's health-information business involves a minimal risk of liability. To date, claims made against the Company arising in the course of providing health information services have not resulted in any material liability to the Company. The Company carries liability insurance in coverage amounts that management believes are customary in its business and sufficient to cover most claims. There can be no assurance, however, that such coverage will be sufficient to cover claims made against the Company, that adequate insurance coverage will continue to be available to the Company in the future, or that insurance coverage will be available on terms favorable to the Company. The Company's insurance coverage includes occurrence-based medical professional liability insurance and claims-made non-medical professional liability insurance, a property insurance policy, a general liability policy, and an umbrella insurance policy. The Company is a party to a number of legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, none of which, in management's view, will have a material adverse effect on the Company. ITEM 2. Properties The Company owns a five-building complex located at 170 Mt. Airy Road, Basking Ridge, New Jersey. Of approximately 53,000 total square feet of office space, the Company maintains its operations in approximately 42,000 square feet and the balance is leased or available for lease to several tenants. Management believes that this arrangement provides for the Company's foreseeable expansion needs. The Company leases its branch offices under a number of operating leases with varying terms and expirations. See Note 7 to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. ITEM 3.

During 1998, we again achieved or exceeded almost all of our corporate goals. We increased our market share, improved our profit margins, increased our return on equity and assets to record levels, expanded our presence on the Internet, substantially increased our business with direct life insurance marketers and made a strategic acquisition that complements our core business. The stock market certainly responded positively to these achievements. Our total market capitalization rose 101% to $408 million at the end of 1998, following a 72% gain in the previous year. For the second time in 18 months, we declared a two for one stock split and increased our cash dividend payout. [BAR GRAPH APPEARS HERE] Return on Equity Percenage 1994 5.8% 1995 4.2% 1996 11.5% 1997 20.3% 1998 22.9% In 1998, we continued to execute efficiently and control costs. Profits grew at a significantly faster pace than revenues, indicating our ability to continue to leverage our branch network and technology infrastructure. As a result, we were able to again dramatically expand our margins in 1998. The prescription for profit growth that we established three years ago remains in place: Generate material revenue growth with only minimal cost increases. Last year, in fact, our revenue growth accelerated, as we achieved double-digit gains in each quarter. The keys to these gains were an increase in the average number of services performed per applicant contact and building our industry-leading market share, which stood at approximately 27% in 1998. We are increasing our market share for a variety of reasons, but two stand out. As the insurance industry consolidates, companies are more inclined to choose outsourcing partners with a national presence. In addition, new direct marketers entering the life insurance industry rely heavily on state-of-the-art technology. They insist on partnering with companies that are equally skilled in using technology, which is one of Hooper Holmes' strengths. We believe our leadership position in technology will continue to make us the preferred outsourcing partner for most insurers, large and small. Record Financial Results In 1998, we reported record revenues and earnings. Operating income for the year ended December 31, 1998 rose 57% to $25.6 million from $16.3 million in 1997, excluding an after-tax charge in 1998 of $1.5 million from discontinued operations. Income from continuing operations rose 62% to $14.2 million, from $8.8 million last year. Earnings per diluted share, adjusted for a [BAR GRAPH APPEARS HERE] Return on Assets Percentage 1994 2.6% 1995 1.7% 1996 5.3% 1997 13.8% 1998 16.8% 2 Hooper Holmes, Inc. two for one stock split that took effect in January 1999, increased 55% to $0.48, excluding the discontinued operations charge, compared to the $0.31 reported last year. Our revenues grew much faster than they did in 1997, rising 12% to $185.2 million. As a result of our continued focus on cost containment, our operating margin showed a strong increase, rising from 9.9% to 13.8% for the year. We expect further margin improvements in coming years, with profit growth percentages outstripping revenue gains. Our balance sheet improved as well. We now have nearly $30 million in cash on hand and virtually no debt. This provides us with substantial resources to pursue our strategies for growth, including making acquisitions that are immediately accretive to earnings. We are actively looking for acquisition candidates that complement our core business and provide us with an opportunity to leverage the strong relationships we have with our customers. In addition, we have a disciplined approach to acquisitions, and will only undertake a transaction if the price is right and the benefits to our shareholders are clear. New Initiatives Since its founding 100 years ago, Hooper Holmes has been a technology leader in providing services to the insurance industry. Our business may have changed over the decades, but our reliance on cutting-edge tools has not. We intend to maintain and enhance our leadership position in providing health information by continuing to invest in technology to improve the level of service we provide. "Our centennial year has been marked by record financial performance and substantial strategic progress." [PHOTO OF JAMES M. MCNAMEE APPEARS HERE] James M. McNamee Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer In 1998, we expanded our Portamedic / Infolink website, and it now represents a breakthrough in our industry. Today, customers can handle several aspects of their business with us online. They can place the order, check its status and determine that the case is complete. In December, we acquired a majority interest in Heritage Labs International, a clinical reference laboratory serving life insurers. The addition of Heritage provides long-term opportunities for us to expand our relationships with life and health insurers nationwide, and further develop alternative distribution channels. The Future The key industry trends that have helped us in recent years remain in place. New direct marketers continue to enter the insurance business, and our sophisticated technology has helped us gain a leading share of this market. The traditional agent/broker business is expected to experience a rebound from previous years, complementing the increasing direct response business. Total potential life insurance buyers are on the rise as aging Baby Boomers enter the prime insurance-buying years. The growth in outsourcing means insurers will be requiring more service per applicant contact, which causes our revenue per unit sale to rise. In short, we are the leader in an industry that is enjoying solid growth, which puts us in a great position to maximize future opportunities. We want to thank all of our employees for making 1998 another outstanding year for Hooper Holmes. We are also grateful to our customers and shareholders, and we hope to do great things for them in the year -- and the century -- that lies ahead. /s/ James M. McNamee James. M. McNamee Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer 1998 Annual Report 3 Review of Operations Industry Leadership Hooper Holmes has been a leader in the alternate-site health information business for many years. We are one of the largest providers of outsourced health information to life and health insurers, performing approximately 2.5 million examinations per year, or more than 10,000 examinations every business day. The registered nurses, licensed nurse practitioners, physicians, and medical and paramedical technicians in our Portamedic division examine and test insurance applicants in their offices or homes, according to the desire of the applicants. Hooper Holmes is the leading company in this expanding $750 million industry, with a market share of approximately 27%, and the Company performs 50% more tests than its closest competitor. These tests range from blood pressure monitoring to much more sophisticated procedures such as electrocardiograms and long-term care cognitive assessments. The Company has strong relationships with 48 of the top 50 life and health insurance companies in the United States, as well as more than 800 other companies and independent insurance agents and brokers. Among Hooper Holmes' competitive advantages are: . Size - In our industry, being the largest is a significant benefit. Because Portamedic has 200 offices throughout the country and 8,700 medical examiners, there are relatively few potential insurance applicants who are not within an easy drive of one of our examiners. . Speed - No one in our industry works faster than we do. Quick turnaround of cases is always desirable, but in the insurance industry it is particularly critical. Insurance companies and insurance agents and brokers know that the faster an applicant can be approved, the more likely he or she is to close a sale. The speed of our processing system helps insurance companies deliver swift service to their customers. . Quality - In our business, quality is as important as speed. Our customers know that they cannot find better service or more reliable reports anywhere. We carefully audit our examiners and laboratory facilities to make sure that we are providing clients with the best possible service. That is not just our opinion. Independent research reveals that Hooper Holmes' commitment to quality is broadly recognized in the industry. Maintaining impeccable quality standards is the only way we know how to do business; it also happens to be an excellent formula for ensuring high levels of customer satisfaction. "The Company's network of 200 branch offices and state-of-the art technology infrastructure are unmatched in the industry."

The Early Years 1899 - 1912 On March 6, 1899, William DeMattos Hooper and Bayard P. Holmes started a company called the National Insurance Information Bureau. It served as a clearinghouse for the exchange of information among underwriters of Accident and Sickness Insurance, and its main purpose was to prevent fraud by policyholders. [GRAPHIC APPEARS HERE] [GRAPHIC APPEARS HERE] The firm's first offices were at 87 Nassau Street in New York City, just a block away from Wall Street, the center of the insurance industry. In 1906, the business was incorporated and its name changed to the Hooper Holmes Information Bureau. [GRAPHIC APPEARS HERE] John J. King was in his early twenties when he drove a stagecoach out of Grand Junction, Colorado. He later entered the insurance field as an investigator and joined Hooper Holmes in 1912 as an assistant manager. [GRAPHIC APPEARS HERE] 1911 - In the early years of the century, accident claims involving bicycles, automobiles, and streetcars were common and prompted the need for Hooper Holmes' central claim files. 1998 Annual Report 5 Review of Operations Technological Innovation Perhaps more than anything else, it is our groundbreaking application of technology that makes Hooper Holmes the industry leader. We have the most automated branch network and operating system in the industry, and that provides direct benefits to our clients and to our Company. Our life insurance clients can use our recently expanded Portamedic Web page, Portamedic.com, to order examinations and check information on line. Additionally, they can track the status of each applicant electronically. Certain results of our services are provided electronically, if requested. Our Internet presence is not confined to our own website. For example, we participate in Quicken's InsureMarket Web site and when a visiting consumer elects to apply for insurance, the chances are good that we will perform the required examination. We believe we are well positioned to grow our business as insurance sales over the Internet increase. Our technical capabilities are of particular value to direct marketers of life insurance products. Many of these newer entrants operate as "virtual" insurance companies, outsourcing almost all of their required services. This industry segment is growing rapidly, and at Hooper Holmes this business is rapidly expanding. In 1997, business with direct marketers accounted for 6% of our revenues. Last year, the figure jumped to 13%, making us industry leader in this market segment. Our Teledex and Infolink systems provide customers with information gathering flexibility. Typically, the systems are used when the policy amount is insufficient to justify an in-person visit or when an underwriter determines that additional information is required. With an Infolink request, we electronically send clients employment information, physical and medical histories, and attending physician statements. When Teledex is chosen, the same information is sent, along with the highlights of a phone interview with the applicant. Teledex and Infolink are the kind of ancillary services that reflect Hooper Holmes' potential to leverage our extensive technological network. All in all, our innovative application of state-of-the-art technology helps keep a lid on our costs. And it helps us to maintain our leadership position in financial performance. Our return on equity is 25%, almost double the 13% average for our peer group. Growth Opportunities We will work hard to ensure that the Company enjoys strong growth for many years to come. Our extensive branch network and technological infrastructure will enable us to expand the services we provide with only "Our technological capabilities are a key factor driving the rapid growth of our business, including direct marketers of life insurance."

In the same year, John King began to lead the expansion of the inspection department, and his influence grew. He created the branch network that now extends throughout the U.S. and Canada, and ran the Company for 35 years. Three of Mr. King's sons would lead Hooper Holmes as well.

This ability to leverage our nationwide network positions us to continue to grow profits at a significantly faster pace than revenues. New initiatives and acquisitions should contribute to our growth. In addition, many important demographic and industry trends are helping us now and should continue to benefit us in the future. Acquisitions. In December, Hooper Holmes acquired a majority stake in Heritage Labs International, an Olathe, Kansas-based outsourcer of laboratory testing services for insurance companies. The laboratory has excellent cost controls and is a low-cost producer, which offers us a chance to increase profits while saving money for our customers. In addition, Heritage has an experienced management team and the capacity to absorb additional business with only a minimal increase in costs. This transaction also represents a longer-term opportunity for Hooper Holmes to leverage its strong customer relationships. In the normal course of business, we send specimens to laboratories that are designated by insurance companies. Additionally, we plan to position Heritage Laboratory as the laboratory of choice to meet the specific needs of the emerging life insurance alternative distribution market. Our initial focus will be on marketing Heritage's services to Hooper Holmes' existing customers to create a unique one-stop advantage for insurers outsourcing these services. The Heritage acquisition offers benefits to our customers as well, including the ability to transmit data, including lab results, necessary to underwrite the application. We intend to grow our laboratory business and to service our clients more efficiently at the same time. While the equity stake in Heritage presents opportunities for us, it is also emblematic of the many acquisitions opportunities that exist in our industry. We are actively looking to make strategic acquisitions that are accretive, complement our core business and enable us to build on our relationships with leading health and life insurance companies. We see opportunities to expand the outsourcing services we provide in areas ranging from the long-term care insurance industry to worker's compensation claims support. Demographics. The aging of the Baby-Boomer generation is already having a positive impact on our business and should continue to do so. The prime insurance-buying age is the late 30s to the late 50s; with a baby boomer turning 50 every eight seconds, the number of people in this prime buying group is set to increase dramatically. "The ability to leverage our nationwide network enables us to grow profits at a significantly faster pace than revenues."

The Growth of Portamedic 1971 - 1984 In 1971, Frank Schwindler, then Vice President and Director of Sales and Operations, decided to hire registered nurses to handle medical examinations for life insurers. The previous method of using doctors exclusively had proven to be too costly, inconvenient and frustrating, as doctors were often unavailable. [PHOTO OF FRANK J. SCHWINDLER [PHOTO OF JAMES M. MCNAMEE APPEARS HERE] APPEARS HERE] [PHOTO OF A PORTAMEDIC EXAM APPEARS HERE] In 1972, James M. McNamee, then Product Manager of New Services, played an important role in developing this new system and gave it a name -- Portamedic. Through aggressive expansion and acquisitions, Portamedic grew quickly. By 1984, it accounted for nearly half of the Company's revenues. [LOGO OF PORTAMEDIC APPEARS HERE] [PHOTO APPEARS HERE] Using registered nurses and a specially designed examination kit, Portamedic became the nation's leading provider of alternate-site health information. 1977 - The Company used state-of-the-art computer technology to update the old card files to support an expanding national network of 89 offices by 1984. [PHOTO APPEARS HERE] 1980 - Hooper Holmes entered the health care field, offering relief personnel to hospitals and providing registered nurses and skilled practitioners for home health care. By 1984, Portamedic Health Care had revenues of $23.5 million. [PHOTO APPEARS HERE] 1998 Annual Report 9 Review of Operations Larger policy amounts, lower age thresholds. The demographics combined with the types of policies being purchased are resulting in higher policy amounts. In many areas, the age or dollar threshold triggering a paramedical exam continues to decrease. Clients are electing to outsource more individual services, particularly in the markets where policies are sold on a more direct basis. Hooper Holmes has positioned ourselves to welcome the opportunity to provide these new services. Industry consolidation. The insurance industry is consolidating rapidly; the big are getting bigger. This trend clearly benefits Hooper Holmes. Because many of acquiring insurers are large, they prefer to work with a single vendor that can meet all their needs. Hooper Holmes, which offers a full national network and meets their technological needs, is well positioned to be their vendor of choice. Outsourcing. Outsourcing is a powerful global trend, one that is particularly strong in the insurance industry. More and more insurers are choosing to "farm out" administrative, marketing, and underwriting functions. As pressures to reduce administrative costs increase, we believe that even more insurers will opt to outsource non-core functions to companies like Hooper Holmes. Quality People, Quality Service The best thing about Hooper Holmes is its people. The highly motivated, service-oriented and efficient individuals who comprise our organization have worked extremely hard to make us successful. One of our greatest competitive advantages is the fact that our field managers are very seasoned, extraordinarily disciplined, and maintain strong relationships with our customers. They help ensure that the service we provide is unmatched in our business. We recently instituted a new way of rewarding our people for their dedication. Since 1997, our incentive plan has included stock options for all eligible employees throughout the entire organization. We believe that allowing employees to share in the success of the Company is a powerful motivator, aligning their interests with those of the Company, its customers and its shareholders "The Company's experienced and disciplined field managers maintain strong relationships with their customers."

This growth results from a 9% increase in the number of paramedical examinations performed, increases in revenues per unit of service, and is consistent with the Company's efforts to increase market share. The Company's cost of operations in 1998 totaled $129.3 million compared to $119.2 million for 1997. Cost of operations as a percentage of revenues totaled 69.8% for 1998 versus 72.1% for 1997. As a percentage of revenues, the decrease is due to ongoing efforts to control branch operating expenses, despite increased revenue growth, and the efficiencies realized due to branch automation initiatives. Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were $30.4 million for 1998 compared to $29.8 million for 1997. As a percentage of revenues, SG&A expenses decreased to 16.4% for 1998 from 18.0% for 1997, which is due to management's continued efforts to control corporate expenses. Accordingly, the Company's operating income for 1998 increased to $25.6 million versus $16.3 million for 1997, and as a percentage of revenues, increased to 13.8% for 1998 compared to 9.9% for 1997. Other income items in 1998 were primarily interest earned on invested funds, the average balance of which was greater than in 1997. The effective tax rate was 46% and 48% for 1998 and 1997, respectively. The decrease is the result of increased profitability which lessened the impact of non-tax deductible amortization of goodwill. As a result of the foregoing, net income from continuing operations in 1998 totaled $14.2 million or $0.48 per diluted share compared to $8.8 million or $.31 for 1997. The net loss from discontinued operations totaled $1.5 million or $0.05 per diluted share in 1998. The charge evolved from residual worker's compensation charges and certain reimbursement issues associated with the divestiture of Nurse's House Call in 1995. Net Income for 1998 totaled $12.7 million or $0.43 per diluted share compared to $8.8 million or $0.31 per diluted share. Net income in 1998 includes a $1.5 million, or $0.05 per share charge from discontinued operations, as previously noted. Inflation did not have a significant effect on the Company's operations in 1998. 1997 Compared to 1996 Total revenues for 1997 increased 5.8% to $165.4 million from $156.3 million for 1996. This increase results from unit growth in the number of paramedical examinations performed, price appreciation per unit of service, and is consistent with the Company's efforts to increase market share. The Company's cost of operations in 1997 totaled $119.2 million compared to $118.0 million for 1996. Cost of operations as a percentage of revenues totaled 72.1% for 1997 versus 75.5% for 1996. As a percentage of revenues, the decrease is due to ongoing efforts to control branch operating expenses, despite increased revenue growth, and the efficiencies realized due to continued branch automation initiatives. Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were $29.8 million for 1997 compared to $29.7 million for 1996. As a percentage of revenues, SG&A expenses decreased to 18.0% for 1997 from 19.0% for 1996, which is due to management's efforts to control corporate expenses. Accordingly, the Company's operating income for 1997 increased to $16.3 million versus $8.6 million for 1996, and as a percentage of revenues, increased to 9.9% for 1997 compared to 5.5% for 1996. During 1997, the company reduced long-term debt by $6.3 million and therefore interest expense decreased in 1997 to $.2 million compared to $1.4 million in 1996. Other income items in 1997 were 14 primarily interest earned on invested funds and certain deferred payments received from the sale of the Company's Direct Marketing business in 1992. The effective tax rate for 1997 and 1996 was 48%. As a result of the foregoing, net income in 1997 totaled $8.8 million or $0.31 per diluted share compared to $4.1 million or $0.15 per diluted share for 1996. Inflation did not have a significant effect on the Company's operations in 1997. Liquidity and Financial Resources The Company's primary sources of cash are internally generated funds and the Company's bank credit facility. For the year ended December 31, 1998, the net cash provided by operating activities was $21.6 million as compared to $16.6 million in 1997. The significant sources were net income of $12.7 million, $4.7 million of depreciation and amortization, $5.1 million increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses which were offset by an increase in other assets of $.6 million and an increase in deferred taxes of $2.8 million. The Company has in place a three year $20 million revolving credit facility, which expires on January 2, 2000, and may be extended for one year at the option of the Company. The revolver loan will accrue interest at either the bank's base rate or at LIBOR, as adjusted, at the option of the Company. At December 31, 1998, the Company had no borrowings against the revolver and a total of $18.5 million is available, with $1.5 million committed to outstanding letters of credit. Capital expenditures for 1999 are anticipated to be less than $2.0 million. Management believes that the combination of cash and cash equivalents, other working capital sources, and available borrowings under the Company's credit facility, along with anticipated cash flows from continuing operations, will provide sufficient capital resources for the foreseeable future. On January 27, 1998, the Board of Directors approved a Stock Repurchase Program, which authorized management to purchase shares of the Company's common stock at prevailing market prices. During 1998, the Company purchased 97,600 shares of its common stock at an aggregate price of $954,138. Safe Harbor Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Act Except for the historical information contained herein, the matters discussed in this annual report are forward-looking statements which involve risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to economic, competitive, governmental and technological factors affecting the Company's operations, markets, products, services and prices, and other factors discussed in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Year 2000 Computer Systems Compliance The Company recognizes the need to insure that its operations and relationships with its customers, suppliers and other third parties will not be adversely impacted by the Year 2000 software issue. In January 1997, the Company formed a "Year 2000" compliance committee. The committee has been charged with identifying all information and non-information technology systems that could be affected by the Year 2000 issue. The Company has developed a phased program to address its Year 2000 issues. The first phase consisted of identifying the Company's IT Systems and Non-IT Systems, and identifying suppliers and customers 15 whose operations could impact those of the Company. Phase one was completed on schedule. The second phase consisted of determining whether those systems are Year 2000 compliant, based on certifications received from suppliers and customers, and on management's assessment of its internal systems. Many of the Company's critical suppliers and vendors have indicated that they already are, or will be Year 2000 compliant during 1999. The second phase was completed in the fourth quarter 1998. Phase three, is already underway, and consists of remediating non-compliant systems, as well as developing a worse case contingency plan. The Company expects to complete this phase early in the second quarter, 1999. Since the Company's Year 2000 compliance is dependent upon key third parties also being Year 2000 compliant on a timely basis, there can be no guarantee that the Company's efforts will prevent a material adverse impact on its results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. If our systems, or those of key third parties are not fully Year 2000 functional, we estimate that up to a one month disruption in operations could occur. Such a disruption could result in delays in providing services and in issuing billings to customers. These consequences could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows if we are unable to substantially conduct our business in the ordinary course. We believe that our efforts, including the development of a contingency plan, will significantly reduce the adverse impact that any disruption in business might have. Year 2000 costs are not expected to exceed one quarter of a million dollars. The Company has attempted to identify all of its Year 2000 problem areas, has communicated, and will continue to communicate with its suppliers, customers, and other parties. Management believes that it is taking adequate steps to insure that its systems will be Year 2000 compliant. We believe our ongoing efforts to address the Year 2000 issue will minimize possible negative consequences to our Company. Recently Issued Accounting Standards In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133. Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, which becomes effective for our financial statements beginning January 1, 2000. SFAS No. 133 requires a company to recognize all derivative instruments as assets or liabilities in its balance sheet and measure them at fair value. The Company does not expect the adoption of this Statement to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued Statement of Position (SOP) 98-1, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use and SOP 98-5, Reporting on the Costs of Start-up Activities, which are effective in 1999. The Company does not expect adoption of these SOPs to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. 16 Hooper Holmes, Inc. and Subsidiaries - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Consolidated Balance Sheets

See accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements. 20 Hooper Holmes, Inc. and Subsidiaries - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Note 1 -- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Hooper Holmes, Inc. and its majority owned subsidiaries (the "Company"). All significant intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. Description of the Business The Company provides alternate-site health information. The Company's network of experienced medical professionals conduct physical examinations, testing, and personal health interviews, primarily for the life and health insurance industry. Information gathered in these activities is used by insurance underwriters to assess risks and make informed decisions. The Company is subject to certain risks and uncertainties as a result of changes that could occur in the life and health insurance industry's underwriting requirements and standards, and in the Company's customer base. Use of Estimates The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and disclosures in these financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers highly liquid investments with original maturities of less than ninety days to be cash equivalents. Long-Lived Assets Long-lived assets consist of property, plant and equipment, goodwill, and identifiable intangibles. The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances occur that indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. The Company assesses the recoverability of long-lived assets held and to be used based on undiscounted cash flows, and measures the impairment, if any, using discounted cash flows. Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight line method over the assets estimated useful life. The cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to income as incurred. Significant renewals and betterments are capitalized. Goodwill and intangible assets are being amortized using the straight line method over lives ranging from 10-25 years and 1-15 years, respectively. Earnings Per Common Share Basic earnings per common share equals net income divided by weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. "Diluted" earnings per common share equals net income divided by the sum of weighted average common shares outstanding during the period plus 21 Hooper Holmes, Inc. and Subsidiaries - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- common stock equivalents. Common stock equivalents (1,739,025, 1,027,464 and 332,926 for 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively) are shares assumed to be issued if outstanding stock options were exercised. All appropriate share and per share period amounts have also been restated for the January 8, 1999 and August 22, 1997 stock splits (see note 10 "Capital Stock"). Revenues Revenues from services rendered are recognized when services are performed. Income Taxes Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Concentration of Credit Risk The Company's accounts receivable are due primarily from insurance companies. No one customer accounts for more than 10% of revenues. Fair Value of Financial Instruments For all financial instruments, at December 31, 1998 and 1997, their carrying value approximates fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments. Employee Stock Options Employee non-qualified stock options are granted with an exercise price equal to the market price and, therefore, compensation expense is not recognized on the issuance of employee stock options. Advertising Costs related to space in publications are expensed the first time the advertising occurs. Advertising expense was approximately $149,000, $161,000, and $285,000 in 1998, 1997, and 1996, respectively. Reclassification Certain 1997 amounts were reclassified to conform with the 1998 presentation. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note 2 -- Discontinued Operations In 1995, the Company transferred substantially all of the assets and business of its Nurse's House Call health care division (the "NHC division") to Olsten Corporation, (the "NHC Transaction"), pursuant to an Agreement of Acquisition between the Company and Olsten, dated May 26, 1995. The transaction closed September 29, 1995. Pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement, Olsten transferred to the Company all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of American Service Bureau, Inc., which was engaged in the business of providing paramedical examinations and related services to the life and health insurance industries under the name ASB Meditest ("ASB Meditest"), approximately $27.3 million in cash, and assumed certain specified liabilities of approximately $5.1 million relating to the NHC Division. 22 Hooper Holmes, Inc. and Subsidiaries - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In 1995, the Company recorded a loss in the amount of $10.3 million, net of tax benefits of $7.6 million, on the disposal of the NHC Division. The Company recorded a provision for certain costs related to the disposal including the transaction loss, severance and other expenses, transaction fees, and accounts receivable collection fees. During the fourth quarter of 1998, the Company recorded an additional after tax charge of $1.5 million, net of a tax benefit of $1.3 million. The charge resulted from residual worker's compensation charges and certain reimbursement issues associated with the NHC Division. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note 3 -- Acquisitions and Dispositions On August 12, 1998, the Company acquired specific assets of a health information services company. The purchase price was $750,000. Cost in excess of net assets acquired of approximately $597,000 is being amortized over 15 years. Additionally, a non-competition agreement was entered into in the amount of $150,000, and is being amortized over 5 years. On November 30, 1998, the Company acquired a 55% ownership interest in Heritage Labs International LLC, a national provider of laboratory testing services, primarily to life and health insurance companies. The purchase price was approximately $1.8 million. Cost in excess of net assets acquired of approximately $1.4 million is being amortized over 15 years. Additionally, a non-competition agreement was entered into in the amount of $.2 million, and is being amortized over 3 years. The acquisitions discussed above have been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and the purchase price of the acquisitions has been assigned to the net assets based on the fair value of such assets and liabilities at the date of acquisition. The consolidated financial statements include the results of operations from the date of purchase. The results of operations for 1998 or 1997 would not be materially different if these acquisitions had occurred on January 1, 1997. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note 4 -- Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable are net of an allowance for doubtful accounts in the amount of $1,091,499 and $872,114 in 1998 and 1997, respectively. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note 5 -- Property, Plant and Equipment Property, Plant and Equipment consists of the following: Estimated December 31, December 31, Useful Life 1998 1997 In Years - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Land and improvements $ 591,213 $ 591,213 10 - 20 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Building and improvements 4,550,903 4,231,689 10 - 45 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Furniture, fixtures and equipment 17,345,109 15,675,217 3 - 10 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- $22,487,225 $20,498,119 ================================================================================ - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note 6 -- Long Term Debt The Company's revolving loan facility is a $20.0 million revolving loan which expires on January 2, 2000, with a one year renewable Company option. The revolving loan accrues interest at the bank's base rate minus 1/4% to 1 1/4% or LIBOR plus 3/4% to 1 3/4%, at the election of the Company. The interest rate at December 31, 1998 was 7.75% and the maximum available credit amount was $18.5 million. Such amounts could be withdrawn if an event of default as defined occurs. Also, commitment fees of 1/4% of the unused credit are charged and the loan is unse- 23 Hooper Holmes, Inc. and Subsidiaries cured. Dividend payments are limited to maximum quarterly amounts of 30% to 40% of average quarterly net incomes. As of December 31, 1998, there were no borrowings against the revolver loan. The Company has entered into a one year renewable Letter of Credit to the benefit of an insurance company relating to workers' compensation insurance. At December 31, 1998, the amount was $1.5 million. The note payable of $450,000 is an obligation of our majority owned subsidiary. The interest rate at December 31, 1998 was 8.75%. The note matures on January 1, 2003 and monthly principal payments start February 2000. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note 7 -- Commitments and Contingencies The Company leases branch field offices under a number of operating leases which expire in various years through 2003.

The stock splits resulted in additional shares of 6,923,582 shares and 14,189,982 shares of common stock, respectively, of which, 1,683 shares and 52,166 shares, respectively, were shares of Treasury Stock. All share and per share amounts have been retroactively restated for these events. On February 24, 1998, the stockholders approved a proposal to increase the authorized number of common shares from 20 million to 80 million. Stock Repurchase Program -- On January 27, 1998, the Board of Directors approved a Stock Repurchase Program, which authorized management to purchase shares of the Company's common stock at prevailing market prices. During 1998, the Company purchased 97,600 shares of its common stock at an aggregate price of $954,138. Stockholder Rights Plan -- On January 23, 1990, the Board of Directors adopted a Stockholder Rights Plan, which was amended and restated on May 10, 1991 and further amended on July 12, 1995. The Board declared a dividend of one Common Share Right for each outstanding share of Common Stock distributable on April 2, 1990. Such rights only become exercisable ten business days after (a) the Company or a person or group announces that such person or group (other than certain specified persons, such as the Company, any wholly-owned subsidiary, employee benefit plans of the Company and persons who held at least 20% of the Common Stock when the Rights Plan was adopted, until the occurrence of certain events, or as the result of an acquisition of shares by the Company) has acquired beneficial ownership of 20% or more of the Company's Common Stock or (b) the commencement of a tender offer by a person or group to acquire 30% or more of the Company's Common Stock (such date, the "Separation Date"). Upon the Separation Date, each right shall constitute the right to purchase one share of Common Stock of the Company for $6.00, subject to adjustment. After (x) the announcement of the acquisition by a person or group of 20% or more of the Company's Common Stock (other than in a tender offer for all shares which has been approved by the Board of Directors), or (y) the Company enters into or consummates a merger or other similar business transaction, or a sale of more than 50% of the assets or earning power, each right shall be adjusted to constitute the right to purchase that number of shares of Common Stock of the Company or capital stock of the acquiring company, as the case may be, having an aggregate market price on the date of such announcement of the acquisition or such consummation or occurrence of the transaction equal to twice the exercise price of $6.00, also subject to adjustment. The rights may be redeemed for $0.05 per right at any time until the tenth day following public announcement that a 20% position has been acquired. The rights will expire on March 16, 2000, unless sooner redeemed 26 Hooper Holmes, Inc. and Subsidiaries - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Stock Purchase Plan -- In 1993, the shareholders approved the 1993 Employee Stock Purchase Plan which provided for granting of purchase rights to all full-time employees, as defined, of up to 1,000,000 shares. This plan terminated on December 31, 1998. The plan provided for the purchase of shares on the date one year from the grant date. During the year after the grant date, up to 10% of an employee's compensation was withheld for their purchase. An employee can cancel their purchase any time during the year, without penalty. The purchase price was 95% of the closing common stock price on the grant date. In April 1997 and April 1998, the Company distributed 66,536 shares, and 80,904 shares, respectively, under the April 1996 and April 1997 grants, and the aggregate purchase price was $300,244, and $324,248, respectively. In April 1998, the Company made a grant of approximately 71,000 shares, and the aggregate purchase price is approximately $579,000. Stock Awards -- The Company's Chairman and president is entitled to receive stock awards based on the attainment of performance goals established for any given year. For the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, awards of 5,000, 4,000 and 10,000 shares, respectively, have been granted. Stock Option Plan -- The Company's stockholders approved stock option plans totaling 1,200,000 and 2,000,000 shares in 1988 and 1992, respectively, and 2,000,000 and 1,200,000 shares in 1994 and 1997, respectively, which provide that options may be granted to management. Options are granted at market value on the dates of the grants and are exercisable as follows: 25% after two years and 25% on each of three anniversary dates thereafter, and terminate after 10 years. In May, 1997, the Company's stockholders approved the 1997 Director Stock Option Plan for 600,000 shares, which provides 100,000 options to non-employee Directors. The options were granted at market value on the date of the grant, and are exercisable in five equal annual installments beginning on the first anniversary of the date of the grant. The Company currently has five non-employee directors. Also in May 1997, the Company's stockholders approved the CEO Stock Option Agreement, which provides options to acquire 400,000 shares to the Chief Executive Officer, at an exercise price equal to the fair value at the date of grant. The options vest 80,000 shares annually for five years. Any unvested options will become immediately exercisable in 1999, if two performance related conditions are met: (a) the Company's earnings per share are at least $.35 for the year ended December 31, 1998, and (b) the Company's closing stock price is at least $7.50 per share for any consecutive 30 day period during the six months ended June 30, 1999.
