EXPLANATORY PARAGRAPH
AS DESCRIBED IN NOTE Q, IN MAY 19XX, THE COMPANY EXCHANGED SHARES OF ITS COMMON STOCK FOR $5,060,000 OF ITS OUTSTANDING PUBLIC DEBT. THE FAIR VALUE OF THE COMMON STOCK ISSUED EXCEEDED THE CARRYING AMOUNT OF THE DEBT BY $466,000, WHICH HAS BEEN SHOWN AS AN EXTRAORDINARY LOSS IN THE 1987 STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS. BECAUSE A PORTION OF THE DEBT EXCHANGED WAS CONVERTIBLE DEBT, A LITERAL APPLICATION OF STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS NO. 84"INDUCED CONVERSIONS OF CONVERTIBLE DEBT," WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN A FURTHER REDUCTION IN NET INCOME OF $3,611,000, WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN OFFSET BY A CORRESPONDING $3,611,000 CREDIT TO ADDITIONAL PAID IN CAPITAL; ACCORDINGLY, THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN NO NET EFFECT ON STOCKHOLDERS' INVESTMENT. IN THE OPINION OF COMPANY MANAGEMENT, WITH WHICH WE AGREE, A LITERAL APPLICATION OF ACCOUNTING LITERATURE WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN MISLEADING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS THAT DO NOT PROPERLY PORTRAY THE ECONOMIC CONSEQUENCES OF THE EXCHANGE.		 ADD AN EXPLANATORY PARAGRAPH BEFORE OR AFTER OPINION
