NOTE 14 - YEAR 2000 COMPUTER ISSUES (BEING UNREVIEWED AND NOT FORMING PART OF OUR ACCOUNTANTS' REVIEW REPORT) The Year 2000 problem arises because many computerized systems use two digits rather than four to identify year. Date- sensitive systems may recognize the year 2000 as some other dates, resulting in errors when information using year 2000 dates is processed. Entities may experience the effects of year 2000 problem before, on or after January 1, 2000, and that the effects on operations and financial reporting. If not addressed and repaired properly and timely, may range from minor errors to significant systems failure which could affect an entity's ability to conduct normal business operations. In addition, it is not possible to be certain that all aspects of the year 2000 problem affecting the entity, including those related to the efforts of customers, suppliers, or other third parties, will be fully resolved. The management has already commenced its plan to improve the computerized system to resolve the year 2000 problem. The relevant expenses are insignificant. Although, the management expect to have remedied the problem by the year 2000, the operations of the Company would still remain at risk from other entities with the Company undertakes business if those entities are unable to remedy their own problems in time. ****
