"During 1998 we capitalized on current market conditions that generated high yielding, accretive investments for the company. Our strong balance sheet continues to give the company the flexibility to finance its commitments and opportunities, while retaining excellent leverage and coverage ratios. We believe the strength of our existing portfolio and the execution of our investment strategy of providing growth capital to emerging health care companies should lead to increased earnings and profitability for the company during 1999 and beyond."
