TEST PROCEDURE FOR COSMI BUDGET PROGRAMS
YEAR 2000 READINESS DISCLOSURE

Please read this information. It contains significant information on your legal rights and the license and warranty terms for this program as well as results of our Year 2000 simulation.

1. Cosmi Corporation conducted a detailed test of this program on a machine which was operating Windows 95 properly, with NO other software on July 18, 1998. (The machines were manufactured by Gateway 2000). Definition: standard configuration: OEM setup of Windows 95 with minimum required drivers, and files installed by our program's install routine with no other files or programs.
2. The machine was connected to a printer and mouse, but no other peripheral devices.
3. The test consisted of installing the program properly in complete accordance with directions.
4. Operating the program and accessing all major functions, and all functions related to dates.
5. The program functioned nominally with the system date set to:

a. July 18, 1998
b. December 31, 1999
c. February 29, 2000
d. April 4, 2004

6. The following was not tested:
a. DDE/OLE with non year 2000 compliant programs
b. Operation with peripherals which are not year 2000 compliant
c. Operation of the program with other processes such as virus scanners loaded in memory.
d. Operation in any non-default system configuration such as insufficient GDI or operation on a system with Year 2000 compliance utilities.
e. Operation of the program in the year 2000 or beyond without proper installation.

7. Accordingly, if the program works properly before the year 2000 on your machine, the program itself will operate properly thereafter. However, we can provide no assurance of operation if your system has Year 2000 patches or is not in a properly configured condition.

8. Computer programs may experience bugs whether or not the year 2000 has arrived due to user error, such as deleting need files or libraries.

9. Users may enter data into Year 2000 capable programs in 2 digit format. As many Cosmi programs provide for user created forms, databases or other output, the end user is responsible for the decision to use 2 digit years or 4 digit years.

10. Catastrophic failure of a computer or operating system may cause all programs to cease to function.

This information is subject to change. Users addresses and contact information is being retained, and we will attempt to notify users of changes to this information.

LEGAL NOTICE:

The provision of this information does not alter the end user license and warranty terms for this program.

YEAR 2000 STATEMENT:

1. If any current shipping Cosmi program (including programs that you have requested information concerning) is working correctly, then when the Year 2000 arrives our simulation testing shows that if all else is well, the program will continue to operate properly. IF A PROGRAM IS NOT SATISFACTORIALLY WORKING AT THIS TIME THE CHANGE OF CENTURIES WILL MOST LIKELY NOT CORRECT ANY PROBLEMS.
2. However, the program may still not work if the computer or any other hardware or other software makes year 2000 errors. It is possible for errors in the system to be reflected by a properly operating program.
3. If there are any infrastructure problems, such as interruption of electricity, the program will not work due to the lack of power.
4. If the program receives data from any other program or the operating system which is incorrect, it will probably not work correctly.
5. If you have created templates, forms or other output you should verify that the dates are acceptable to you.
6. Cosmi programs are year 2000 capable.

If the assumption that the simulation represents actual operating conditions is incorrect, then your operation may be different.
