("Epitope") and STC merged into the Issuer (the "Merger") pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated May 6, 2000 (the "Agreement"). Prior to the Merger, Epitope's common stock was listed on the NASDAQ National Market System under the symbol "EPTO" and the capital stock of STC was privately held and not traded in a public market. Upon the completion of the Merger, the Issuer assumed Epitope's listing on the NASDAQ National Market System under the symbol "OSUR" and assumed Epitope's registration under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as successor to Epitope, pursuant to Rule 12g-3 promulgated thereunder.

Upon the completion of the Merger, 36,340,210 shares of Issuer's common stock were issued and outstanding. Item 4. Purpose of Transaction. Mr. Gausling's reporting obligation on this statement arose as a result of the effectiveness of the Merger, described in Item 3. above, on September 29, 2000. In connection with the Merger and pursuant to the Agreement, the board of directors of the Issuer consists of seven members of which three were designated by the board of directors of STC in which Mr. Gausling was designated as a member of the Issuer's board of directors, three were designated by the board of directors of Epitope and one was designated by the board of directors of both STC and Epitope. In addition, the persons who were executive officers of STC, including Mr. Gausling, are officers of the Issuer. (a)-(j) At the time Mr. Gausling acquired such shares, Mr. Gausling did not have any plan or proposal which related to, or would result in any action with respect to, the matters listed in paragraphs (b) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D (although Mr. Gausling reserves the right as a director and executive officer of the Issuer to develop such plans or proposals).
