DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

         The Company has not paid any cash compensation to a director in such
person's capacity as a director but may pay directors' fees in the future. In
September 1995, the Company adopted its 1995 Directors' Stock Option Plan (the
"Directors' Plan"). The Directors' Plan provides for automatic grants of
non-qualified stock options to purchase 5,000 shares of Common Stock to
non-employee directors as of the date such individuals become directors of the
Company and on each subsequent annual shareholders meeting date, provided that
the director has served since the previous annual shareholders meeting. The
Company reserved 50,000 shares of Common Stock for issuance under the Directors'
Plan. The exercise price per share for each option is equal to the fair market
value of a share of Common Stock as of the date of grant. Pursuant to the
Directors' Plan, Messrs. Bennett and Berman each received automatic options with
respect to 5,000 in each of 1996 and 1997, with exercise prices of $8.75 and
$4.25, respectively, and they will receive an additional grant on the date of

                              CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS

         Since 1992, Grand Casinos, Inc. (a shareholder of the Company) has
entered into three separate agreements with the Company pursuant to which the
Company's Kids Quest activity centers have been developed and are being operated
at three casinos owned by Grand Casinos. The Company also operates, pursuant to
agreements with various tribes, four additional Kids Quest centers at casinos
which are managed by Grand Casinos. Although the precise terms of each of the
agreements with Grand Casinos and the tribes vary by location, each provide for
a profit sharing arrangement in which the Company manages and operates a Kids
Quest center and pays a percentage of the center's pre-tax gross operating
profits and other reimbursements to Grand Casinos or the tribe. Under these
agreements for the three casinos owned by Grand Casinos, the Company paid an
aggregate of $387,719 in 1996 and $200,045 in 1997 to Grand Casinos. The
agreements also typically provide for a minimum guaranteed management fee to be
paid to the Company, which fee varies by location. The agreements also allow the
casino operators to establish a discounted rate below the fair market value for
the Company's services to be charged by the Company to the public in order to
attract customers to the Company and ultimately to the casinos. The casino
operator must reimburse the Company for the difference between such amount
charged and the fair market value for the Company's services. Pursuant to these
provisions, the Company received $638,722 in 1996 and $663,602 in 1997 from
Grand Casinos as reimbursement for rate discounts at the casinos owned by Grand
Casinos. In addition, the agreements with Grand Casinos and the tribes provide a
guaranty by Grand Casinos or the tribe against Company operating losses at the
particular location. Under the guaranty provisions for the casinos owned by
Grand Casinos, the Company received $200,240 in 1996 and $194,909 in 1997, all
of which was paid by Grand Casinos.

         The Company has entered into an office sharing agreement with New
Horizon Enterprises, Inc. and related entities that operate child care centers
in Minnesota. William M. Dunkley, Susan K. Dunkley and Jay L. Bennett own a
majority of the stock in New Horizon Enterprises and the related entities. New
Horizon Enterprises subleases from Grand Casinos the office space currently
utilized for the corporate offices of New Horizon Enterprises and the Company.
Pursuant to the office sharing agreement between the Company and New Horizon
Enterprises, the salaries of various administrative personnel and other overhead
expenses (including rent) are allocated between the Company, New Horizon
Enterprises and the related entities that own the Minnesota child care centers.
Under this agreement, the Company may make payments to New Horizon Enterprises
for various marketing, accounting and personnel services provided by the
employees of New Horizon Enterprises, including

certain family members of William M. Dunkley and Susan K. Dunkley. The Company
paid New Horizon Enterprises an aggregate of $80,998 pursuant to the agreement
in 1996 and $152,766 in 1997.

         The Minneapolis law firm of Dunkley, Bennett & Christensen, P.A., of
which Messrs. William M. Dunkley and Jay L. Bennett are members, provides legal
services to the Company. Fees paid to Dunkley, Bennett & Christensen, P.A.
totalled $389,303 in 1996 and $322,878 in 1997.

                         INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

Company's independent public accountants for fiscal 1998. Arthur Andersen LLP
