G. H. Gillespie Associates, Inc. (GHGA)
      conducts research and development devoted toward improving the
      understanding and utilization of complex scientific technologies
      with applications to education, energy, medicine and defense.
      The Company's principal office is located in San Diego, California.
      GHGA began operations as a sole proprietorship
      in 1988 and following two years of successful growth the Company
      was incorporated in the State of California in 1990. From 1988-1993
      the primary business line involved conducting assessment studies
      and performing other technical analyses on a variety of practical
      applications of particle accelerators for U. S. Government agencies
      and their prime contractors. An extensive software capability
      was developed within the firm as a part of those activities.
      In 1992, the Company began marketing a line of scientific software
      for use at university, industrial and government laboratories.
      The success of that product line resulted in the award of several
      contracts for the development of custom scientific and educational
      software applications. Since 1994 GHGA has concentrated on the
      development of custom and prepackaged software, with innovative
      graphic user interfaces and data visualization tools for scientific
      and educational programs becoming the Company's signature business
      line. AccelSoft Inc. was formed in 1997 as a wholly owned subsidiary
      to publish, market and distribute the growing line of prepackaged
      software products.
      GHGA and AccelSoft have a core team of physicists and software
      engineers with a broad background in accelerator science and
      modern software technology. Personnel have established relationships
      with many scientists at accelerator laboratories and elsewhere
      that aid in maintaining our leading edge in accelerator technology.
      Our expertise has been applied to the design of accelerator components,
      beamlines, and systems for both national and international customers,
      while continuing to provide state-of-the-art accelerator and
      particle optics software to our customers for a variety of applications.
