Directors and Management.

July 14, 1997 for one year.  The Company obtained a $750,000 revolving credit
line.  This credit line bears interest at the rate of prime plus 1%, per annum,
and is secured, primarily, by the Company's accounts receivable and inventories.
The Company also obtained a $300,000, non-revolving, equipment acquisition
credit line, which bears interest at the rate of prime plus 1.75%, per annum,
and is secured by all of the Company's assets.  Both of these loans are
cross-collateralized.  The terms of these loan agreements contain certain
restrictive covenants, including maintenance of minimum working capital, net
worth, and ratios of current assets to current liabilities and debt to net
worth.
