Schedule 3.1
Schedule of Exceptions
The following are exceptions to the representations and warranties of
Cygnet Laboratories, Inc. (the "Seller") and Xxxxxxx X. Xxxx ("Long") contained
in that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger dated April 24, 1997 (the
"Agreement") and should be considered to be incorporated into and an integral
part of the Agreement. Any information disclosed herein shall be deemed
disclosed and incorporated into any section under the Agreement to the extent
that such disclosure reasonably specifies the relevant facts necessary for a
reasonable determination that the exception expressed in such disclosure would
also apply to such other sections of the Agreement or is cross referenced. Any
terms defined in the Agreement shall have the same meaning when used in the
Schedule of Exceptions, unless the context otherwise requires.
1. Status of Financial Records
The most recent balance sheet and income statement dated 11/30/96, the
end of the fiscal year for Cygnet, do not accurately reflect the
financial condition of the company at that time. For instance, the
trade receivables of $469,253.19 are significantly inflated above the
actual figure which currently is less than two hundred thousand
dollars. No financial statements have been prepared since the end of
the fiscal year. Also, since no payables have been entered into the
accounting system since last November, the estimate for accounts
payable of $141,203.40 as of 2/15/97 was calculated by manual
tabulation of the invoice amounts. Medication Management Technologies
will be assuming all accounts payable as a consequence of this
transaction.
2. Royalty Dispute with Hassan and Xxxxxx Xxxxxx
The Arafehs have named as an arbitrator an attorney in their law firm,
Siner, Steinbock, Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxxxxx. They contend that
approximately $150,000 is due them under their interpretation of the
royalty agreement, while the position of Cygnet is that they have been
overpaid by several thousand dollars. The Arafehs also claim an
ownership interest in the Cygnet software. The royalty agreement and
other documentation related to the dispute have been provided to
Medical Technology Systems.
3. Customization Backlog
A significant backlog of undetermined magnitude exists with respect to
obligations to customers for the customization of their forms and
menus. This is due in large part to the recently ended practice of
allowing customers the customization of an unlimited number of forms
and menus. A couple of tools have been partially developed to make
Cygnet personnel more productive in performing this task, but this
development effort is not complete.
17
4. FDA Record Status
While FDA mandated records and files were apparently maintained for the
DOS version of the Cygnet product, much work remains to be done with
respect to the Windows NT version of the product. Documentation
pertaining to the FDA certification of the product has been separately
forwarded.
5. November 15, 1996 Payroll Deficiencies
With the exception of the employees currently employed, only fifty
percent of the salaries were provided for the payroll due on November
15, 1996. Also, no pay was provided for accrued vacation or
compensatory time for either current or former employees. Expenses and
other obligations may not have been satisfied. In at least three cases,
less than fifty percent of the November 15, 1996, payroll was
satisfied.
6. Status of Customer Contracts
It is known that in some cases, sales and installations have occurred
without the execution of a contract. A recent example of this practice
is Xxxxx Peninsula Hospital. The customer files at the Cygnet office in
Xxxxxxxx can be reviewed to determine the status of contracts on a
customer by customer basis.
7. Customer Deposits and Unearned Warranty Income
While separate schedules have been prepared for the customer deposits
and the unearned portion of warranty income received during the past
year, no funds are on deposit reflecting these amounts. As a
consequence of the merger Medication Management Technologies will be
assuming these obligations.
8. Employee Confidentiality Agreements
A file of Employee Invention and Non-Disclosure agreements is
maintained at the Cygnet office. It is unclear as to whether this file
is complete, whether all employees signed these agreements, or whether
any procedure was in place to insure compliance with the terms of this
agreement. A similar document was utilized for contractors.
9. Stock Option Agreements
A blank form of the stock option agreement has been included as an
attachment. On file at the Cygnet office in Xxxxxxxx are signed
originals of executed option agreements. However, this file may not be
complete or accurate. It is not known whether option agreements were
signed for all granted options. A copy of the blank option form has
been previously provided.
18
10. Liability Insurance Refund
A refund in the amount of $9,558.00 is due Cygnet for overpayment of
product liability and other commercial insurance during the latter part
of 1996. We were advised in December of 1996 that a refund would be
made, but the amount had not been determined. Last week the exact
amount of the refund was communicated to the company. Since this refund
represents funds that would have been received by Cygnet either before
and after a bankruptcy filing if an asset sale had taken place, it
follows that it should be paid to he selling shareholders. Further,
unlike the receivables, no effort or work will be required on the part
of the acquiring entity to collect this amount. Therefore, upon receipt
of the refund, Medication Management Technologies will endorse the
check to Xxxxxxx and Xxxxxx for deposit in their trust account for
payment of legal fees that have escalated as a consequence of the
change of the transaction from and asset acquisition to a merger.
11. Federal and State Withholding
Beginning with payroll on November 15, 1996, only the employee portion
of payroll taxes have been submitted. The employer portion was not paid
due to the plant to file for bankruptcy after disposition of selected
assets.
12. Sales Personnel Draws, Expenses, and Computers
It is likely that some sales personnel may owe the company money while
others may be owed money by the company. The status of unpaid salary,
draws, expenses and commissions has not been maintained. Also, it is
likely that most if not all of the former sales representatives still
have notebook computers belonging to the company.
13. Leased Office Space
Lease payments are due the landlord for the months of January and
February 1997, for the space occupied on third floor at 0000 Xxxx
Xxxxxx. A copy of the lease agreement has been forward to Medical
Technology Systems. On January 3, 1997, a three day notice to pay rent
and to perform covenants or quit was delivered to the Cygnet office.
Subsequent to that date Medication Management Technologies has
indicated that a new lease was negotiated with the landlord as of
3/1/97 the Cygnet office was relocated to the first floor of the
building.
14. State of California Labor Commissioner Claims
At least five former Cygnet employees have filed claims with the
Department of Industrial Relations regarding non-payment of wages,
vacation pay, and business expenses. The company has not responded to
or disputed any of the claims. Employees who have submitted claims so
far include the following:
Xxxx Xxxx State Case # 12-27998-1-ES
Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx State Case # 12-27998-2-ES
19
Xxx Xxxx State Case # 12-27998-3-ES
Xxxxx Xxxxxxx State Case # 12-27998-4-ES
Xxxx Xxxxx State Case # 12-27998-5-ES
15. Option Agreement Execution
While the first option period fee of $17,000 for Medical Technology
Systems was paid in full, only $11,000 was paid for the second period.
While Cygnet honored the commitment not to negotiate with other
potential buyers, the additional $6,000 was not requested since it was
not needed for operational expenses during the second option period.
The pricing of the option fee was in part based on what the anticipated
operating costs would be for each two-week option period. Therefore, no
claim will be made for the balance of the option extension fee.
16. Garnishment Summons
Cygnet was recently notified of a series of garnishment summons being
served on the following hospitals in the state of Virginia:
Centra Health dba Virginia Baptist Hospital
Chesapeake General Hospital
These actions were taken on behalf of MedSearch Systems, Inc., as a
result of the arbitration settlement last December which was not
contested by Cygnet Laboratories.
17. Additional Compensation
A special arrangement had been made with Xxxx Xxxxxxxx to provide him
with an additional $250 per month as compensation for the some of the
unusual demands of his job. It is paid as and expense reimbursement to
coincide with the end of the month payroll.
18. Reimbursement for Prince George's Hospital Center Nurses
A claim for reimbursement of automobile and lodging expenses incurred
during attendance of a training session at cygnet has been submitted
by three nurses at Prince Xxxxxx hospital. Xxx Xxxxxx had verbally
approved this commitment in order to improve a situation involving the
use of the Cygnet product at the hospital. The amount of the claim is
$1,371.75, and the contact at the hospital is Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx at
(000) 000-0000. The commitment was confirmed in writing by a memo from
Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx, Xxx Xxxxxx'x assistant, to Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx on
November 1, 1996.
19. Delinquent Status of Equipment Leases
The lease on the Canon copier with IKON Capital is in arrears in the
amount of $1,661.50. The account number is 00000118065-57301, and the
lease expires on 6-28-97. The postage
20
meter lease with NEOPOST is in arrears in the amount of $343.16. The
account number is 0000000, and the lease expires on 11-04-97.
20. Miscellaneous State Taxes
Communications are periodically received regarding the demand for,
refund of, or notice of eligibility for refund of various types of
taxes in other states. The amount involved is typically less than one
hundred dollars, and occasionally exceeds that amount. At this point in
time it is anticipated that the payment status of such taxes is that
only a few hundred dollars is outstanding, and that eventual refunds
will reduce that amount.
21. Demands by Hospitals for Source Code
At least two hospitals have requested in writing the source code for
the Cygnet product as a consequence of the letter send to all customers
in late November that discussed cash flow problems. The University of
Pennsylvania Medical Center Hospital and Xxxx Xxxxx medical Center have
made such a request. No response was made to either hospital. The HUP
letter cited contract language obligating the company (Cygnet) to
notify UPMC 60 days prior to discontinuation of business or change in
ownership. Cygnet has not notified any customer of the imminent merger
transaction.
22. Incomplete and Missing Schedules and Exhibits
Some of the schedules and exhibits referenced in the merger document
are either not provided or are incomplete. Some of the material has
been previously provided under separate cover. Other items are
incomplete because the information is either not available or personnel
resources are not available to compile the necessary data on a timely
basis. All of the Exhibits and Schedules specified in the Modification
Agreement and the Agreement and Plan of Merger are either included in
closing documents or have been previously supplied except as annotated
in the following listing.
