Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
- -------------------------------------------------------

     Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company's officers and
directors, and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of the
Company's equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in
ownership with the

                                      -4-
<PAGE>
 
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Officers, directors and greater
than 10% stockholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish the Company with
copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file.

     SEC rules require the Company to disclose all known delinquent Section
16(a) filings by its officers, directors and 10% stockholders. Based solely on
its review of the copies of reports received by it, or written representations
from certain reporting persons that no such reports were required for those
persons, the Company believes that, for the period beginning January 1, 1997
through December 31, 1997, all filing requirements applicable to its officers,
directors, and greater than 10% beneficial owners were complied with, except
that Mr. Andersson did not timely file a Form 4.

of $6.00 per share, vesting over a five year period. Out of the 100,000 options,
Mr. Sparks has 80,030 options outstanding as of March 31, 1998.

  Each of Messrs. Andersson's, Schmitt's, Cuccio's, and Sparks' employment
agreements provides that the agreement may be terminated by the employee upon 30
days prior written notice, or by the Company upon seven days prior written
notice. Additionally, Mr. Andersson's employment agreement contains a general
noncompete provision applicable during the employment period and for two years
thereafter, which prohibits him from engaging in any business anywhere in the
world that provides equipment or services that are being provided by or are
under development by OTI at the time he ceases employment with the Company.  Mr.
Schmitt's agreement provides in addition to the two year non-compete described
above, a 180 day general non-compete.  Mr. Cuccio's and Sparks' employment
agreement contains a one year general noncompete provision, which prohibits the
employee from directly or indirectly engaging in the business of the Company,
and from soliciting the employees, clients or customers of the Company.  Such
noncompetition provision is not violated by the employee's ownership of less
than 1% of the outstanding stock of a publicly held corporation.


Executive Bonus Plan
- --------------------

  Senior managers of the Company are eligible to receive an annual cash bonus
award, targeted at an average of 20% of annual base compensation. Each eligible
manager is measured against individually established goals and objectives that
will determine the award.


Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
- -----------------------------------------------------------

  The Compensation Committee was formed in October 1995, and the members of the
committee are Messrs. Perry, Fields and Gupta.  None of the members was at any
time during the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997, or at any other time, an
officer or employee of the Company.  No executive officer of the Company serves
as a member of the board of directors or compensation committee of any entity
that has one or more executive officers serving as members of the Company's
Board of Directors or Compensation Committee.
