Business Summary
HelpMate Robotics, Inc. was primarily engaged in the design, manufacture and sale of its flagship product, the HelpMate robotics courier system, a trackless robotic courier used primarily in the healthcare industry to transport materials. The Company derived revenue from three principal sources: rentals and sales of HelpMates, sales of robotic components such as LabMate, LightRanger and BiSight and from research and development contracts. On December 30, 1999, the Company completed the sale to Pyxis Corp. of substantially all of its assets. The assets sold consisted of all machinery and equipment, which included all leased equipment; all inventory, which included raw materials and component parts and all patents; trademarks, which included trademarks for the name "HelpMate" and "LabMate"; all accounts receivable, security deposits and cash. HRI's business plan is to effect a business combination with an operating business that has potential to increase stockholder value.

For the three months ended 3/01, the Company reports no revenues. Net loss totalled $44 thousand vs. income of $13 thousand. Results reflect the discontinuation of all operations, and decreased interest income.
