Notes to Financial Statements
(Unaudited)

1. The Company

OraSure Technologies, Inc. (the "Company") develops, manufactures and markets
oral specimen collection devices using its proprietary oral fluid technologies,
oral fluid assays, proprietary diagnostic products including in vitro diagnostic
tests, and other medical devices. These products are sold to public and
private-sector clients, clinical laboratories, physician offices, hospitals, and
for workplace testing in the United States and certain foreign countries.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

BASIS OF PRESENTATION. The accompanying financial statements are unaudited and,
in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting only of normal
and recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the results for
these interim periods. These financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000 and Quarterly Reports
on Form 10-Q for the three-month periods ended March 31 and June 30, 2001.
Results of operations for the period ended September 30, 2001 are not
necessarily indicative of the results of operations expected for the full year.
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year financial statements
to conform to the current year presentation.

USE OF ESTIMATES. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires
management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

INVENTORIES. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market determined on
a first-in, first-out basis and are comprised of the following:

September 30, December 31,
2001 2000
------- ----------

Raw materials $1,082,957 $473,575
Work-in-process 797,669 348,819
Finished goods 1,539,476 673,210
---------- ----------
$3,420,102 $1,495,604
========== ==========

REVENUE RECOGNITION. The Company recognizes product revenues when products are
shipped. The Company does not grant price protection or product return rights to
its customers. Up-front licensing fees are deferred and recognized ratably over
the related license period. Product development revenues are recognized over the
period the related product development efforts are performed. Amounts received
prior to the performance of product development efforts are recorded as deferred
revenues.

In December 1999, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 101 "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" ("SAB
101"). SAB 101 draws on existing accounting rules and provides specific guidance
on revenue recognition of up-front, non-refundable license and development fees.
The Company has applied the provisions of SAB 101 in the accompanying financial
statements.

SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMER CONCENTRATION. For the three and nine-month periods ended
September 30, 2001, one customer accounted for 20.8 and 21.8 percent of total
revenues, respectively, as compared to 23.4 percent for each of the same periods
in 2000.

7
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT.  Research and development costs are charged to expense
as incurred.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION. Pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 52, "Foreign Currency Translation," the assets and
liabilities of the Company's foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars
at current exchange rates as of the balance sheet date, and revenues and
expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the period. Resulting
translation adjustments are reflected as a separate component of stockholders'
equity.

NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE. The Company has presented basic and diluted earnings
(loss) per common share pursuant to SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share" ("SFAS
128"), and the Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No.
98. In accordance with SFAS 128, basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by
dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding
during the reported period. Diluted earnings per share is computed in a manner
similar to basic earnings per share except that the weighted average number of
shares outstanding is increased to include incremental shares from the assumed
exercise of stock options and warrants, if dilutive. The number of incremental
shares is calculated by assuming that outstanding stock options and warrants
were exercised and the proceeds from such exercises were used to acquire shares
of common stock at the average market price during the reporting period.

The computations of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share are as follows:

<TABLE>

========== ========== ========== ==========
Diluted $ 0.00 $ (0.22) $ (0.04) $ (0.26)
========== ========== ========== ==========
</TABLE>


The computations of diluted earnings (loss) per share for the three-month period
ended September 30, 2001 and 2000 and for the nine-month periods ended September
30, 2001 and 2000 exclude the effect of outstanding common stock options and
warrants to purchase 89,750, 2,948,364, 4,010,811 and 3,036,026 shares,
respectively, because the effect of including such shares is anti-dilutive.

OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS). The Company follows SFAS No. 130, "Reporting
Comprehensive Income." This statement requires the classification of items of
other comprehensive income (loss) by their nature, and disclosure of the
accumulated balance of other comprehensive income (loss) separately from
retained earnings and additional paid-in capital in the equity section of the
balance sheet.

RESTRUCTURING-RELATED EXPENSES. In February, 2001, the Company announced plans
to realign certain of its manufacturing operations. Accordingly, during the
three months ended March 31, 2001, the Company incurred $450,000 in
non-recurring restructuring costs, primarily comprised of expenses for employee
severance, travel and transport resulting from relocating and consolidating
manufacturing operations. All restructuring-related expenses were paid by June
30, 2001.

8
FOREIGN CURRENCY FORWARD EXCHANGE CONTRACTS. Commencing in May 2001, the Company
entered into foreign currency forward exchange contracts to offset certain
operational and balance sheet exposures from changes in foreign currency
exchange rates. Such exposures result from the portion of the Company's
operations, assets and liabilities located in the Netherlands and denominated in
guilders. The Company accounts for these foreign currency forward exchange
contracts in accordance with SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities". The contract amount of foreign currency
forward exchange contracts outstanding at September 30, 2001 was $242,807.
During the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2001, gains or
losses associated with these contracts were not material.


3. Segment and Geographic Area Information

Under the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 131, "Segment Disclosures and
Related Information," the Company operates within one segment, medical devices
and products. The Company's products are sold principally in the United States
and Europe. Operating income and identifiable assets for geographic regions
outside of the United States are not included herein since all of the Company's
revenues outside the United States are export sales. The following table
represents total revenues by geographic area (amounts in thousands):

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

Statements below regarding future events or performance are "forward-looking
statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act
of 1995. These include statements about expected revenues, earnings, expenses,
cash flow, capital expenditures or other measures of financial performance, and
regulatory filings. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future
performance or results. Factors that could cause actual performance or results
to be materially different from those expressed or implied in these statements
include, but are not limited to: ability to market products; impact of
competitors, competing products and technology changes; ability to develop,
commercialize and market new products; market acceptance of oral fluid testing
products and up-converting phosphor technology products; ability to fund
research and development and other projects and operations; ability to obtain
and timing of obtaining necessary regulatory approvals; ability to develop
product distribution channels; uncertainty relating to patent protection and
potential patent infringement claims; ability to enter into international
manufacturing agreements; obstacles to international marketing and manufacturing
of products; ability to sell products internationally; loss or impairment of
sources of capital; exposure to product liability and other types of litigation;
changes in international, federal or state laws and regulations; changes in
relationships with strategic partners and reliance on strategic partners for the
performance of critical activities under collaborative arrangements; changes in
accounting practices and interpretation of accounting requirements; equipment
failures and ability to obtain needed raw materials and components; the impact
of terrorist attacks and civil unrest; and general political, business and
economic conditions. These and other factors that could cause the
forward-looking statements to be materially different are described in greater
detail in the Sections entitled, "Forward-Looking Statements" and "Risk
Factors," in Item 1 and elsewhere in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2000. Although forward-looking statements help
to provide information about future prospects, they may not be reliable. The
forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this Report and the
Company undertakes no duty to update these statements.

Total revenues increased 19% to approximately $8.6 million in the third quarter
of 2001 from approximately $7.2 million in 2000, primarily as a result of
increased sales of oral fluid collection devices and related immunoassay tests
due to the continued market penetration of Intercept, initial shipments of
OraQuick(R) into Sub-Saharan Africa for the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention's ("CDC") LIFE Initiative, and increased sales of the Company's
Histofreezer(R) cryosurgical delivery system. Excluding revenues in the prior
period from the discontinued Serum Western Blot product line, total revenues
would have increased approximately 27%.

Product revenues increased 20% to approximately $8.2 million for the third
quarter of 2001 from approximately $6.9 million in 2000. Sales of oral specimen
collection devices and immunoassay tests increased 10% and 40% to approximately
$3.1 million and $2.0 million, respectively, as a result of increased sales to
the public health and substance abuse testing markets. Histofreezer(R) revenues
increased 12% to approximately $2.0 million, reflecting higher domestic sales.
OraQuick(R) generated approximately $415,000 of revenues for the third quarter,
primarily reflecting product shipped internationally to the CDC under the LIFE
Initiative. Sales of the Western Blot confirmatory tests, which were comprised
exclusively of the oral Western Blot in 2001, declined 73% to approximately
$143,000 for the third quarter as a result of the discontinuation of the Serum
Western Blot product in January 2001. Other product revenues, which consisted
primarily of sales of the Q.E.D.(R) saliva alcohol test and certain
Intercept(R)-related sales to criminal justice and drug rehabilitation clients,
increased 92% to approximately $559,000 from approximately $291,000 in 2000.
Total Intercept(R) sales, including devices, immunoassay tests, and related
equipment, equaled approximately $889,000 for the quarter, as compared to
approximately $45,000 in 2000. As a percentage of total revenues, international
revenues increased 75% to approximately $1.2 million primarily as a result of
the market introduction of OraQuick(R) into Sub-Saharan Africa.

Sales to the insurance testing market declined by 7% to approximately $2.8
million in the third quarter of 2001 as a result of an overall decline in the
number of life insurance applications. Sales to the public health market
increased 25% to approximately $1.7 million in the third quarter as a result of
continued penetration by the Company's laboratory-based HIV test. Sales to
physician offices, which consisted solely of the Histofreezer(R) cryosurgical
delivery system, increased 12% to approximately $2.0 million, reflecting higher
domestic sales. Sales to the substance abuse testing market increased 151% to
approximately $1.7 million in the third quarter of 2001 as a result of the
continued market penetration of Intercept(R) and increased forensic toxicology
sales. Sales to other markets increased 9% to approximately $127,000.

License and product development revenues increased 2% to approximately $362,000
in the third quarter of 2001 from approximately $355,000 in 2000. During the
third quarter of 2001, license and product development revenues primarily
consisted of revenue from UPT development agreements and a grant from the
National Institutes of Health for an oral fluid based syphilis test.

On June 29, 2001, the Company filed with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
("FDA") an application for pre-market approval of its OraQuick(R) rapid HIV test
using whole blood and an application for 510(k) clearance for the UPlink(TM)
drugs of abuse rapid detection system, including six drug assays. During the
third quarter, the FDA responded to the OraQuick(R) submission with certain
questions. The Company provided answers to the questions and the review is
proceeding as expected. The FDA also responded to the UPlink(TM) submission.
Because this product is the first reader-based, oral fluid point of care testing
system submitted to the FDA, and because of the broad clinical utility of the
UPlink(TM) system, the FDA has requested sixty additional trial samples for each
of the six drug assays. The time required to collect and submit the additional
data is expected to delay receipt of FDA clearance until the first quarter of
2002.

Despite the increase in third quarter revenues, the Company experienced
unforeseen delays in sales of the OraQuick(R) HIV test to the Company's African
distributor. These delays were caused by delays in the government purchase
process in Africa. As a result of the Company's reliance upon third party
distributors to develop and penetrate the African market for OraQuick(R) and the
fact that significant potential customers are government entities, it is
difficult for the Company to accurately forecast the timing of international
OraQuick(R) revenues.

The Company's gross margin increased to approximately 67% in the third quarter
of 2001 from 57% in 2000. Excluding a one-time write-off of obsolete inventory
in the third quarter of 2000, the gross margin for the third quarter of 2000
would have been 65%. The gross margin increase in the third quarter of 2001 was
primarily the result of negotiated contract savings and cost savings as a result
of the Company's manufacturing reorganization.


13
Gross margin, based upon product revenues,  was 65% in the third quarter of 2001
as compared to 63% in 2000, excluding the one-time inventory write-off.

Research and development expenses decreased 20% to approximately $2.2 million in
the third quarter of 2001 from approximately $2.8 million in 2000, as a result
of improved internal efficiencies resulting from the merger of Epitope, Inc. and
STC Technologies, Inc. into the Company in September 2000. Research and
development efforts in the third quarter of 2001 were focused on the development
of drugs of abuse and infectious disease assays for UPlink(TM) and the ongoing
development of oral fluid-based tests for a variety of diseases or conditions,
such as hepatitis C, syphilis, and diabetic markers. Research and development
expenses, as a percentage of third quarter revenues, declined to approximately
26% from 39% in 2000. Research and development expenses are expected to increase
slightly during the remainder of 2001 as clinical trials for OraQuick(R) and
UPlink(TM) research activities continue.

Sales and marketing expenses increased 10% to approximately $2.0 million in the
third quarter of 2001 from approximately $1.8 million in 2000. This increase was
primarily the result of costs including increased staffing and related charges
associated with the development of foreign markets for OraQuick(R), the
continued marketing of the Intercept(R) drugs of abuse service, and initial
UPlink(TM) criminal justice marketing efforts. Sales and marketing expenses, as
a percentage of third quarter revenues, declined to approximately 23% from 25%
in 2000.

General and administrative expenses decreased 16% to approximately $1.5 million
in the third quarter of 2001 from approximately $1.8 million in 2000. This
decrease reflects cost savings from the elimination of duplicative overhead
structures as a result of the merger. General and administrative expenses, as a
percentage of third quarter revenues, declined to approximately 18% from 25% in
2000.

Merger-related expenses were approximately $5.9 million in 2000. These
non-recurring costs included fees for investment banking, attorneys, and
accountants.

The operating loss of approximately $11,000 in the third quarter of 2001
improved from a loss of approximately $8.2 million in 2000, which included
approximately $5.9 million of one-time merger-related expenses. Excluding the
one-time merger-related expenses, the operating loss improved by $2.3 million
from the third quarter of 2000, as a result of increasing revenues, improving
gross margins, and lower operating expenses.

Interest expense decreased by 17% to approximately $102,000 in the third quarter
of 2001 from approximately $123,000 in 2000 as a result of principal loan
repayments.

Interest income decreased to approximately $242,000 in the third quarter of 2001
from approximately $397,000 in 2000 as a result of lower cash and cash
equivalents available for investment and lower interest rates.

Foreign currency loss was approximately $115,000 in the third quarter of 2001
compared to a gain of approximately $29,000 in 2000.

Net income was approximately $16,000 in the third quarter of 2001 compared to a
loss of approximately $7.9 million in 2000, which included one-time
merger-related expenses of approximately $5.9 million.

Total revenues increased 17% to approximately $24.5 million for the first nine
months of 2001 from approximately $21.0 million in the comparable period in
2000, primarily as a result of increased sales of oral fluid collection devices
and related immunoassay tests, and increased license and product development
revenues. Excluding revenues in the prior period from the discontinued Serum
Western Blot product line, total revenues would have increased approximately
24%.

Product revenues increased 14% to approximately $23.2 million for the first nine
months of 2001 from approximately $20.4 million in the first nine months of
2000. Sales of oral specimen collection devices and immunoassay tests increased
19% and 18% to approximately $9.9 million and $5.8 million, respectively, as a
result of increased sales to the public health and substance abuse testing
markets. Histofreezer(R) revenues remained flat at approximately $4.7 million.
OraQuick(R) generated approximately $655,000 of revenues during the nine months
ended September 30, 2001. Sales of the Western Blot confirmatory tests, which
were comprised exclusively of the oral Western Blot in 2001, declined 67% to
approximately $471,000 as a result of the discontinuation of the Serum Western
Blot product in January 2001. Other product revenues, which consisted primarily
of sales of the Q.E.D.(R) saliva alcohol test and certain Intercept(R)-related
equipment sales to criminal justice and drug rehabilitation clients, increased
56% to approximately $1.7 million from approximately $1.1 million in 2000. Total
Intercept(R) sales for the first nine months of 2001, including devices,
immunoassay tests, and related equipment, totaled approximately $2.5 million as
compared to approximately $218,000 in 2000. As a percentage of total revenues,
international revenues increased to approximately 31% in the first nine months
of 2001 to approximately $3.9 million, as a result of the market introduction of
OraQuick(R) into Sub-Saharan Africa and increased oral fluid collection devices
and related assays.

Sales to the insurance testing market declined by 11% to approximately $8.7
million for the first nine months of 2001 as a result of an overall decline in
the number of insurance applications. Sales to the public health market
increased 36% to approximately $4.5 million for the first nine months of 2001 as
a result of the continued penetration of the Company's laboratory-based HIV
test. Sales to physician offices, which consisted solely of the Histofreezer(R)
cryosurgical delivery system, remained flat at approximately $4.7 million in the
first nine months of 2001. Sales to the substance abuse testing market increased
116% to approximately $4.9 million in the first nine months of 2001 as a result
of the continued market penetration of Intercept(R) and increased forensic
toxicology sales. Sales to other markets remained flat at approximately
$391,000.

License and product development revenues increased 115% to approximately $1.3
million for the first nine months of 2001 from approximately $605,000 in 2000.
This increase was attributable principally to additional revenues resulting from
the recognition of milestone payments under existing development arrangements.

The Company's gross margin increased to approximately 65% in the first nine
months of 2001 from 61% in 2000. Excluding a one-time write-off of obsolete
inventory in the third quarter of 2000, the gross margin for the first nine
months of 2000 would have been 63%. This increase was primarily the result of
negotiated contract savings, cost savings as a result of the Company's
manufacturing reorganization, and higher license and product development
revenues, partially offset by incremental costs associated with the ramp up of
OraQuick(R) manufacturing. Gross margin, based upon product revenues, was 63% in
the first nine months of 2001 compared to 62% for 2000, excluding the one-time
inventory write-off.

Research and development expenses increased 3% to approximately $6.8 million for
the first nine months of 2001 from approximately $6.6 million in 2000, as a
result of continued development of the UPlink(TM) reader, test cassette and
collector, DNA feasibility studies, and clinical trial expenses for the
OraQuick(R) HIV rapid test, partially offset by improved internal efficiencies
and cost savings as a result of the merger. Research and development expenses,
as a percentage of revenues, declined to approximately 28% from 32% in 2000.

Sales and marketing expenses increased 18% to approximately $5.9 million in the
first nine months of 2001 from approximately $5.0 million in 2000. This increase
was primarily the result of additional costs associated with the development of
foreign markets for OraQuick(R), the continued marketing of the Intercept(R)
drugs-of-abuse service, and the launch of UPlink(TM) in the criminal justice
market. Sales and marketing expenses, as a percentage of revenues, remained
constant at 24%.

17
General and administrative  expenses decreased 17% to approximately $4.6 million
for the first nine months of 2001 from approximately $5.5 million in 2000. This
decrease reflects cost savings from the elimination of duplicative overhead
structures as a result of the merger. General and administrative expenses, as a
percentage of revenues, declined to approximately 19% from 26% in 2000.

Merger-related expenses were approximately $5.9 million in 2000. These
non-recurring costs primarily included fees for investment bankers, attorneys,
and accountants.

Restructuring related expenses were approximately $450,000 as a result of the
first quarter manufacturing restructuring in 2001. These non-recurring costs
primarily included expenses for employee severance, travel and transport
resulting from relocating and consolidating manufacturing operations.

Operating loss improved to approximately $1.8 million in the nine months ended
September 30, 2001, from approximately $10.3 million in 2000, which included
approximately $5.9 million of one-time merger expenses. This improvement is the
result of increasing revenues, improving gross margins and lower general and
administrative expenses, partially offset by increased sales and marketing,
research and development expenses, and restructuring related charges.

Interest expense decreased by 18% to approximately $310,000 in the first nine
months of 2001 from approximately $376,000 in 2000 as a result of principal loan
repayments.

Interest income decreased by 21% to approximately $743,000 in the first nine
months of 2001 from approximately $944,000 in 2000 as a result of lower cash and
cash equivalents available for investment and lower interest rates.

Foreign currency gain was approximately $3,000 in the first nine months of 2001
compared to a gain of approximately $20,000 in 2000.

In the second quarter of 2000, the Company recorded a gain on the sale of
securities of $600,000, as a result of the sale of Andrew & Williamson Sales
Company ("A&W") preferred stock the Company had received as part of a settlement
with A&W in 1997.

Net loss was approximately $1.4 million in the first nine months of 2001
compared to a net loss of approximately $9.1 million in 2000, which included
$5.9 million of one-time merger-related expenses.

</TABLE>


The Company's cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments position
decreased approximately $4.3 million from December 31, 2000 to approximately
$15.7 million at September 30, 2001, primarily as a result of increased working
capital requirements, partially offset by proceeds from the exercise of stock
options. At September 30, 2001, the Company's working capital was approximately
$21.2 million.

18
The  combination of the Company's  current cash position,  available  borrowings
under the Company's credit facilities, and the Company's cash flow from
operations is expected to be sufficient to fund the Company's foreseeable
operating and capital needs. However, the Company's cash requirements may vary
materially from those now planned due to many factors, including, but not
limited to, the progress of the Company's research and development programs, the
scope and results of clinical testing, changes in existing and potential
relationships with strategic partners, the time and cost in obtaining regulatory
approvals, the costs involved in obtaining and enforcing patents, proprietary
rights and any necessary licenses, the ability of the Company to establish
development and commercialization capacities or relationships, the costs of
manufacturing, market acceptance of new products, the need for increased capital
expenditures, and other factors.

Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $4.3 million for the
first nine months of 2001, as a direct result of increased accounts receivable
and inventory levels. The increased accounts receivable is the result of higher
sales in 2001. The increased inventory levels reflect the buildup of OraQuick(R)
and UPlink(TM) inventory in anticipation of future sales opportunities.

Net cash used in investing activities during the first nine months of 2001 was
approximately $623,000 as a result of approximately $2.1 million in capital
expenditures, primarily reflecting the Company's investment to expand
OraQuick(R) manufacturing in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Capital expenditures are
anticipated to increase during the remainder of 2001 and into the first half of
2002 as a result of additional commitments the Company has made for the purchase
and installation of fully automated lateral flow manufacturing equipment for
UPlink(TM), additional space for research and development activities, and
expanded manufacturing capacity. Partially offsetting the capital expenditures
was the sale of short-term investments to fund operating and capital expenditure
requirements.

Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $2.1 million during
the first nine months of 2001, principally reflecting $3.0 million of proceeds
from the exercise of stock options, partially offset by term debt repayments.

At September 30, 2001, the Company had a $1.0 million working capital line of
credit in place that accrues interest at LIBOR plus 235 basis points and a $3.0
million equipment line of credit in place that accrues interest at a rate fixed
at prime at the time of draw down. There were no borrowings under these lines of
credit at September 30, 2001. These lending facilities have been extended
through April 30, 2002.


Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

The Company does not hold any material derivative financial instruments or
derivative commodity instruments. Accordingly, the Company has no material
market risk to report under this Item.

The Company holds approximately $13.4 million of financial instruments comprised
of U.S. corporate debt, certificates of deposit, government securities and
commercial paper. All such instruments are classified as securities available
for sale. The Company's debt security portfolio represents funds held
temporarily pending use in its business and operations. The Company seeks
reasonable assuredness of the safety of principal and market liquidity by
investing in rated fixed income securities while at the same time seeking to
achieve a favorable rate of return. Market risk exposure consists principally of
exposure to changes in interest rates. If changes in interest rates would affect
the investments adversely, the Company continues to hold the security to
maturity. The Company's holdings are also exposed to the risks of changes in the
credit quality of issuers. The Company typically invests in the shorter end of
the maturity spectrum.

The Company has entered into approximately $243,000 of foreign currency forward
exchange contracts to offset certain operational and balance sheet exposures
from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Such exposures result from the
portion of the Company's operations, assets and liabilities located in the
Netherlands and denominated in guilders. Based upon the fixed-exchange-rate
nature of these contracts, the Company is exposed to potential risk of loss
based upon fluctuations in the exchange rate of the guilder and U.S. dollar
during the term of the contract. Furthermore, as currency rates change,
translation of income statements for these operations from guilders to U.S.
dollars affects year-to-year comparability of operating results. The Company's
operations in the

19
Netherlands represented  approximately $0.5 million (6.3% of total revenues) and
$1.5 million (6.2% of total revenues) for the three months and nine months ended
September 30, 2001, respectively. Management does not expect the risk of foreign
currency fluctuations to be material.
