                                       - 14 -                                         
          total revenue and, as of the end of TPC’s 1997 fiscal year, TPC’s           
          financial data reflected shareholder equity of $148,605,729.                
               As of May of 1998, TPC had reported positive net income for            
          every year for the prior 24 years, and the then-current in-house            
          management financial forecast for TPC estimated net profits for             
          1998.                                                                       
               In late 1997, TPC’s senior management, while acknowledging             
          significant challenges, predicted that 1998 would be better than            
          1997 and “our best [year] ever.”                                            
               For each of its 1993-98 fiscal years, TPC’s net sales                  
          revenue, expenditures (including TPC’s technology-related                   
          developmental expenditures), operating income, and total net                
          income, as reported on TPC’s financial statements, are reflected            
          in the table below:
