Although we have significant hurdles ahead of us, we are developing a plan which management believes will better position the company for success in its services and technology businesses. These hurdles demand time to complete proper diligence and to develop an understanding of all the issues as well as to establish an effective methodology to address them. I will briefly describe some of the elements of our plan with the entire plan unfolded over the next 90 days. "We have achieved major milestones in the technology business since June June: see month. 2001 which will strengthen our competitive ability. These included: -- As previously disclosed, we continue to seek financing opportunities to support our business operation. Although there can be no assurances, we are encouraged by our prospects looking forward. -- We have significantly reduced the company's monthly burn rate to be commensurate with our prospects for revenue generation. We are trying to minimize one time expenditures and recast historical obligations. -- We have aligned our people by business area and are driving a values oriented, performance based culture. We are developing specific objectives for everyone in the organization to be aligned with our overall goals for shareowner value, customer satisfaction and employee satisfaction. -- We are cleaning up the balance sheet. A significant short term impact is required to allow each operating unit to exceed expectations in 2002 and beyond. -- We will retain the services businesses, physical therapy and the pharmacy until we clearly understand the value these units represent in either keeping them or by improving their bottom line so that we can secure a better value for our shareholders. -- We will focus on the services business to grow both top-line and bottom-line performance. This will help us minimize the amount of new funding needed to sustain the operations of the company on an ongoing basis; as well as, provide immediate incremental value to our shareowners. -- We will institute a board of advisors consisting of individuals of significance to our industry. We will identify the participants and their roles over the next 90 days. -- We have redefined our revenue model for the technologies business with a greater focus on immediate revenue while still ensuring a recurring revenue stream for long term viability. -- We will strengthen our focus on strategic alliances in order to give us the required demand coverage, international presence and more immediate acceptance; all at a lower cost base from our perspective. -- We have targeted specific prospects for the technology business who will give us the presence and credibility as springboards for our continued success. -- We will spend money, time and effort on a focused marketing plan including value oriented messages to each of our potential customer bases, leveraging all elements of a true marketing portfolio. -- We will strive for more institutional ownership of our shares so that our owners will take a longer term perspective about the company and therefore minimize the daily value fluctuation of our share price and total valuation. "Even with these accomplishments, our sales, marketing and revenue generation efforts need to vastly improve. This too is being addressed.
