("SI" or the "Company") and McKesson Automated Prescription Systems, Inc. ("McKesson APS"), formerly known as Automated Prescription Systems, Inc., are co-venturers in a joint venture named SI/BAKER, INC. ("SI/BAKER" or the "joint venture"). On September 29, 1998, McKesson Corporation [NYSE:MCK], a healthcare supply management company, announced the completion of its acquisition of Automated Prescription Systems, Inc. Automated Prescription Systems, Inc. was renamed McKesson Automated Prescription Systems, Inc. The SI/BAKER joint venture draws upon the automated materials handling systems experience of SI and the automated pill counting and dispensing products of McKesson APS to provide automated pharmacy systems. Each member company contributed $100,000 in capital to fund the joint venture. The joint venture designs and installs computer controlled, fully automated, integrated systems for managed care pharmacy operations. The joint venture's systems are viewed as labor saving devices which address the issues of improved productivity and cost reduction. Systems can be expanded as customers' operations grow and they may be integrated with a wide variety of components to meet specific customer needs.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and - ------- --------------------------------------------------------------- Results of Operations --------------------- Liquidity And Capital Resources - ------------------------------- The Company's cash and cash equivalents increased to $2,118,000 during the first three months of fiscal 2000 from $1,829,000 at the end of fiscal 1999. The increase resulted from cash provided by operating activities totaling $1,222,000 and proceeds of $16,000 from the sale of common stock in connection with the employee incentive stock option plan. Partially offsetting the increase in cash and cash equivalents from these sources were the repayment of long-term debt of $2,000, the purchases of capital equipment of $30,000, and the acquisition of Modular Automation Corp., net of cash acquired for $919,000. Funds provided by operating activities during the first three months of fiscal 1999 were $3,018,000. - 7 - Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and - ------- --------------------------------------------------------------- Results of Operations --------------------- Liquidity and Capital Resources (Continued) - ------------------------------- On April 13, 1999, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Modular Automation Corp. ("MAC") of Greene, New York for $1,957,000. The purchase price of the acquisition was allocated to the assets acquired based on fair value with the remainder representing goodwill. Since its formation in 1981, MAC was a respected supplier of Automated Guided Vehicle ("AGV") Systems. The acquisition of the AGV technology complements and expands the Company's AGV product offerings. The acquired AGV products and personnel have been integrated into the Company's existing Easton, Pennsylvania facility. The Company has a $5,000,000 committed revolving credit facility which is secured by a lien position on accounts receivable, land, and buildings and contains various restrictive covenants relating to additional indebtedness, asset acquisitions or dispositions, and maintenance of certain financial ratios. The Company was in compliance with all covenants during the first three months of fiscal 2000. Currently, the committed revolving credit facility has an expiration date of August 31, 2000. The Company did not have any borrowings under the committed revolving credit facility during the first three months of fiscal 2000. On March 4, 1996, SI/BAKER established a $2,500,000 Line of Credit Facility (the "Facility") with its principal bank (the "Bank"). Under terms of the Facility, SI/BAKER's parent companies, SI and McKesson APS, have each provided a limited guarantee and surety in an amount not to exceed $1,000,000 for a combined guarantee of $2,000,000 to the Bank for the payment and performance of the related note, including any further renewals or modifications of the Facility. During fiscal 1998, the Bank increased the borrowing availability to $3,000,000 and extended the expiration date of the Facility. On March 18, 1999, SI/BAKER repaid its outstanding debt under the Facility of $500,000. As of May 31, 1999 SI/BAKER did not have any borrowings under the Facility. The Facility has an expiration date of August 31, 1999. On October 14, 1998, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized management to purchase up to $400,000 of the Company's common stock through open market transactions or negotiated transactions at prices not to exceed prevailing market prices. During fiscal 1999, the Company spent $399,000 on purchases of its common stock through open market transactions as part of the stock purchase program. The Company believes that its financial resources consisting of its current assets, anticipated cash flow, and the available revolving credit facility will adequately finance its operating requirements for the foreseeable future. The Company plans to consider expansion opportunities as they arise, although ongoing operating results of the Company, the economics of the expansion, and the circumstances justifying the expansion will be key factors in determining the amount of resources the Company will devote to further expansion. At this time, the Company does not have any material capital commitments. - 8 - Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and - ------- --------------------------------------------------------------- Results of Operations (Continued) --------------------- Results Of Operations - --------------------- Three Months Ended May 30, 1999 Versus Three Months Ended May 31, 1998 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The Company's net earnings for the first three months of fiscal 2000 were $104,000 compared to net earnings of $377,000 for the first three months of fiscal 1999. Backlog at the end of the first three months of fiscal 2000 was $28,254,000. During the first three months of fiscal 2000, the Company received orders totaling approximately $18,300,000. Two orders, totaling approximately $10,200,000, engage the Company to modernize and expand two distribution facilities for a major government agency. These contracts, won under a competitive bidding process, are scheduled to be completed by the second half of fiscal 2001. Net sales of $9,952,000 for the first three months of fiscal 2000 increased 13.1% compared to net sales of $8,800,000 for the first three months of fiscal 1999. The largest increases in sales occurred in the Order Selection and Switch-Cart product lines. During the first three months of fiscal 2000, Order Selection sales of approximately $4,825,000 rose approximately $2,450,000 when compared to the first quarter of fiscal 1999 due primarily to progress made on a systems integration contract aimed at expanding the distribution process at a major health and beauty aids company. During the first three months of fiscal 2000, Switch-Cart sales of approximately $3,330,000 rose approximately $425,000 when compared to the first quarter of fiscal 1999 due primarily to progress made on a contract with a major government agency. Partially offsetting the increase in Order Selection and Switch-Cart sales during the first three months of fiscal 2000 was a decrease in sales of approximately $1,725,000 across the Company's other products lines, with the majority of the decrease relating to sales of the Company's Cartrac, Sortation, and Automated Guided Vehicle product lines. Gross profit as a percentage of sales was 18.5% for the first three months of fiscal 2000 compared to 26.3% for the first three months of fiscal 1999. The decrease in the gross profit percentage for the first three months of fiscal 2000 was primarily attributable to competitive pressures as well as to first-time design inefficiencies associated with the development of enhanced products related to contracts in process. Also contributing to the higher gross profit percentage in the first three months of fiscal 1999 was the favorable performance on several contracts, principally for the Company's higher margin proprietary products, initiated in the prior fiscal year that were nearing completion during the first quarter of fiscal 1999. Selling, general and administrative expenses of $1,614,000 were lower by $54,000 in the first nine months of fiscal 2000 than in the comparable fiscal 1999 period. The decrease in selling, general, and administrative expenses was primarily attributable to the fiscal 1999 comparable period containing a larger amount of costs associated with product promotion and sales efforts aimed at expanding the Company's customer base of business. Product development costs of $153,000 were higher by $34,000 in the first three months of fiscal 2000 than in the comparable fiscal 1999 period. Development programs in the first three months of fiscal 2000 included enhancements to the Switch-Cart and Order Selection product lines with efforts directed towards unit picking techniques. Development programs in the first three months of fiscal 1999 included enhancements to the Company's product controls and features and improvements to the Sortation and Order Selection product lines, with particular - 9 - Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and - ------- --------------------------------------------------------------- Results of Operations (Continued) --------------------- Results Of Operations - --------------------- Three Months Ended May 30, 1999 Versus Three Months Ended May 31, 1998 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- (Continued) emphasis aimed at the controls platform for Dispen-SI-matic Systems and unit picking techniques. Interest income of $29,000 was lower by $16,000 in the first three months of fiscal 2000 than in the comparable fiscal 1999 period. The decrease in interest income was primarily attributable to the lower level of funds available for short-term investments during the first three months of fiscal 2000. Equity in income of joint venture represents the Company's proportionate share of its investment in SI/BAKER which is being accounted for under the equity method. The favorable variance of $18,000 for the first three months of fiscal 2000 in the equity in income of joint venture was attributable to SI/BAKER's increase in sales to approximately $2,972,000, as compared to the comparable fiscal 1999 period of approximately $2,074,000 and growth in the gross profit percentage to 21%, as compared to the comparable fiscal 1999 gross profit percentage of 16%. The sales increase in fiscal 2000 was primarily attributable to a larger backlog of orders entering fiscal 2000 versus a smaller backlog of orders at the beginning of fiscal 1999. The favorable variance in the gross profit percentage was primarily attributable the fiscal 1999 first quarter gross profit percentage being unfavorably impacted by difficulties in executing and concluding several contracts as additional costs became necessary to meet contractual throughput requirements. Partially offsetting the favorable variance were SI/BAKER's increases of (1) $36,000 in revenue-based royalty costs due to the parent companies, (2) $96,000 in product development expenses for software and controls capabilities for various new products addressing changing market requirements, and (3) $107,000 in selling, general and administrative expenses. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily attributable to an increase of $36,000 of expenses based on revenue and profit performance and an increase of $55,000 in costs associated with sales and administrative efforts aimed at expanding SI/BAKER's customer base of business. The favorable variance of $10,000 in other income, net, was primarily attributable to an increase in the revenue-based royalty income related to the SI/BAKER joint venture. The Company incurred income tax expense of $64,000 during the first three months of fiscal 2000 compared to income tax expense of $235,000 in the comparable fiscal 1999 period. Income tax expense was generally recorded at statutory federal and state tax rates expected to apply for each fiscal year. Year 2000 - --------- The Year 2000 issue relates to the ability of computer systems, microprocessors, and other electronic devices to deal appropriately with dates on or after January 1, 2000 and other dates used for special programmatic functions (i.e. 9999). The effect of the Year 2000 issue may include computer failures and business interruption. The Company has assembled a team of internal staff to oversee the matter and is underway in completing its Year 2000 assessment. Internally, the Company has upgraded its business system to address the Year 2000 issue. Externally, the Company has and will continue to survey its suppliers, financial institutions, and other organizations to ensure that those parties have appropriate plans to remediate Year - 10 - Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and - ------- --------------------------------------------------------------- Results of Operations (Continued) --------------------- Year 2000 (Continued) - --------- 2000 issues where their systems or business activities may impact the Company's operations. However, based on the response of its survey to date, the Company cannot presently estimate the impact of the failure of third parties to be Year 2000 compliant. Also, customers may utilize the services, on a fee basis, of the Company's customer support group to assess and upgrade their materials handling systems purchased from the Company for Year 2000 compliance. Costs incurred to date and estimated costs to complete the Company's Year 2000 compliance efforts are not expected to be material. The outline of the general phases of the Company's Year 2000 project is as follows: (1) Year 2000 methodology and compliance training for key personnel; (2) inventorying Year 2000 items, internally and externally; (3) assigning priorities to identified Year 2000 items; (4) assessing the Year 2000 compliance of items determined to be material to the Company; (5) remediating or replacing material items that are determined not to be Year 2000 compliant; (6) testing material items for Year 2000 compliance; and (7) designing and implementing contingency plans to the extent deemed necessary. The Company has substantially completed phases (1) through (5) relating to existing internal hardware, software, facilities and equipment; however, testing is ongoing as hardware, software, and equipment are remediated, upgraded or replaced. Additionally, the Company continues to assess and test newly engaged suppliers and their products for Year 2000 compliance as part of the Company's normal business operations. The Company has not completed its external surveys or contingency plans in the case that it is not Year 2000 compliant by the Year 2000. The Company will continue to monitor its Year 2000 compliance program, address any material issues and develop contingency planning as it deems appropriate. The scheduled completion date for the Company's efforts to address the Year 2000 issue is August 1999. The failure to identify or correct a material Year 2000 problem could result in an interruption in, or a failure of, certain business activities or operations such as the Company's ability to service its customers. Such failures could materially and adversely affect the Company's results of operations, liquidity, and financial condition. The Company's Year 2000 assessment process is expected to significantly reduce the Company's level of uncertainty about the Year 2000 problem and, in particular, about the Year 2000 compliance and readiness of its material suppliers and customers. However, due to the general uncertainty inherent in the Year 2000 problem, resulting in part from the uncertainty of the Year 2000 readiness of suppliers and customers, the Company is unable to determine at this time whether the consequences of Year 2000 failures will have a material impact on the Company's results of operations, liquidity, and financial condition.

Section Headings. The section headings in this Agreement are for ---------------- convenience only; they form no part of this Agreement and shall not affect its interpretation. 17. Number of Days. In computing the number of days for purposes of -------------- this Agreement, all days shall be counted, including Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays; provided that, if the final day of any time period falls on a Saturday, Sunday or day which is a legal holiday in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, then such final day shall be deemed to be the next day which is not a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday. 18. Specific Enforcement; Consent to Suit. The Employee acknowledges -------------------------------------- that the restrictions contained in Sections 4, 5 and 6 hereof are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the Company and its affiliates and that the Company would not have entered into this Agreement in the absence of such restrictions. The Employee also acknowledges that any breach by him of Sections 4, 5 or 6 hereof will cause continuing and irreparable injury to the Company for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy. The Employee shall not, in any action or proceeding to enforce any of the provisions of Section 4, 5 or 6 hereof, assert the claim or defense that an adequate remedy at law exists. In the event of such breach by the Employee, the Company shall have the right to enforce the provisions of Section 4, 5 or 6 hereof by seeking injunctive or other relief in any court, and this Agreement shall not in any way limit remedies of law or in equity otherwise available to the Company. Any legal proceeding to enforce the provisions of Section 4, 5 or 6 hereof shall be instituted in the Court of Common Pleas of Northampton County, Pennsylvania, or if such court does not have jurisdiction or will not accept jurisdiction, in any state or federal court of general jurisdiction in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and, for such purpose, the Employee hereby consents to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of such court and hereby waives any objection - 11 - that the Employee may have to the laying of venue of any such proceeding and any claim or defense of inconvenient forum. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, the Company shall have the right to institute legal proceedings to enforce the provisions of Section 4, 5 or 6 hereof in any court with jurisdiction over the Employee. In any legal proceeding seeking to enforce or interpret the terms of Section 4, 5 or 6 hereof, each party shall be responsible for its own costs, expenses and disbursements, including attorneys' fees. 19. Arbitration. Subject to the last sentence of this Section 19, if ----------- any dispute arises over the terms of this Agreement between the parties to this Agreement, either the Employee or the Company shall submit the dispute to binding arbitration within thirty (30) days after such dispute arises, to be governed by the evidentiary and procedural rules of the American Arbitration Association (Commercial Arbitration). The Employee and the Company shall mutually select one (1) arbitrator within ten (10) days after a dispute is submitted to arbitration. In the event that the parties do not agree on the identity of the arbitrator within such period, the arbitrator shall be selected by the American Arbitration Association. The arbitrator shall hold a hearing on the dispute in Northampton County, Pennsylvania within thirty (30) days after having been selected and shall issue a written opinion within fifteen (15) days after the hearing. The arbitrator shall also decide on the allocation of the costs of the arbitration to the respective parties, but the Employee and the Company shall each be responsible for paying the fees of their own legal counsel, if legal counsel is obtained. Either the Employee or the Company, or both parties, may file the decision of the arbitrator as a final, binding and unappealable judgment in a court of appropriate jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 19 to the contrary, matters in which an equitable remedy or injunctive relief is sought by a party, including but not limited to the remedies referred to in Section 18 hereof, shall not be required to be submitted to arbitration, if the party seeking such remedy or relief objects thereto, but shall instead be subject to the provisions of Section 18 hereof. 20.
