Year 2000 Compliance - NTT

Northern Technology & Testing has undertaken the process of identifying risks posed to our Company by the arrival of the Year 2000 ("Y2K") and its impact on electronic software. We are proceeding under a Y2K Compliance Plan to investigate the issues arising from the need to incorporate four-digit date capabilities into all related software.

NTT's DOS applications are designed for use in and beyond the year 2000. These applications store dates in the form mm/dd/yyyy, where January 1, 2000 would be represented by 01/01/2000.

NTT's DOS applications where calculations are performed on this date field will function correctly after December 31, 1999. Applications where the date field is not used in calculations may be used through the year 2000 and beyond, though the date will appear in the application and on printed reports in the mm/dd/yy format.

Operationally, our Y2K Compliance Plan dictates that we will be Y2K compliant internally no later than July 31, 1999. NTT is committed to taking all necessary steps to ensure that we are operationally compliant with regard to Y2K issues.

Our Y2K Compliance Plan also includes obtaining assurances that our vendors and suppliers will be Y2K compliant so that there will not be any interruption in the flow of materials, supplies and services.

If you need further information concerning our Y2K Compliance Plan, please feel free to contact me.

Sincerely,

Don Castillo
