Background
The Year 2000 is a problem of global proportion. Every industry and therefore every consumer can potentially be affected unless some action is taken. Educational Computer Systems, Inc. has been pursuing a course of action to address any issues before they become problems. This statement is intended to disclose our current initiatives regarding the Year 2000 (Y2k) problem.

General
The fact that the Year 2000 is a leap-year has no effect on any portion of the SAL products. The product will perform properly before, on and after the leap-day with no interruption of service or deviation of accuracy.

SAL Compliance
Our SAL application is internally designed such that the on-line portion is in no way affected by the change in century or the leap year issue. The on-line portion consists of the user-interface and associated programs. Without modification, this portion of the system will continue to run well into the next century.

We identified a small subset of the calculation and computation modules within SAL that would experience a problem without modifications to the internal code and data structures. These modifications have been made and have entered the final stages of testing. If no unexpected problems are encountered, the entire SAL product was compliant on July 1, 1998.

Vendor Component Compliance
ECSI uses components provided by other vendors to produce SAL. We have made every possible effort to ensure that the compilers, tools and runtime routines provided by these vendors are also Y2k compliant. From our investigations, none of the components used will adversely effect the operation of SAL in either the century or leap-year areas.

Third-party Compliance
While ECSI can control the compliance of our products, we can make no warranty or statement of compliance for other vendor's products. Consequently, we can assume no responsibility for the failure of another vendor's product which causes SAL to fail. This includes, but is not limited to, Hardware, Operating System software, external data feeds, spreadsheet calculations, etc.

In an effort to assist our clients in the early detection and resolution of problems, we have made a series of resources available on our web site. These links are provided as a courtesy to our clients. ECSI has no relationship with any of those vendors or authors. Clients are responsible for ensuring the suitability and accuracy of material they acquire from these sources.
