THE FUTURE In July, 1997, the company launched a major business initiative to address Year 2000 (Y2K) compliance in factory automation and process control, offering a suite of services and products called Plant Y2kOne'm. Plant Y2kOne includes: a CD-ROM based methodology, including Internetenabled access to our vendor compliance database that supports client self-execution of their Year 2000 program; training services and help desk support; and project services ranging from complete execution to program management of client staff . Our technical staff worked at a breakneck pace to ensure on-time shipment of the initial release of the CD-ROM. The market response to this offering has been very strong. As of this date, the company has closed a number of contracts with Fortune 500 clients for multi-site engagements and expects to finalize several more by the end of December, 1997. The company is actively recruiting additional staff with current plans to hire as many as I50 in the next nine months to meet demand, We expect our core business to grow to support this additional staff beyond the Year 2000 demand. At this time, the company finds itself in a clear leadership position as the only organization providing a comprehensive offering of product and services for Year 2000 process control compliance. Of critical importance is that the Plant Y2kOne initiative directly supports the objectives of our base business. In only 30 days since the release of the CD-ROM, we find ourselves positioned to do business with more than 30 new Fortune 500 clients. We expect that number to grow dramatically and that, as a result of this Y2K-driven introduction, we will continue to practice our core business in these new accounts after the Year 2000 event is behind us. In addition, the Y2K activity will force many of our clients to understand the value to be gained from vertical integration of their business and process control information technology systems. This will further significantly expand the growth opportunity for our company as we are particularly well positioned to provide the product and services required to effect that integration. The future holds dramatic opportunity for our organization to broaden its industry leadership position. Our challenge is to meet that opportunity in an aggressive and timely fashion. We relish that challenge and look forward to your continued support and shared success. Sincerely, John Jenkins, chierexecutive Officer, Topro, Inc. 4 E T T E R S H A R E H 0 L D E R @
