planning for the Company. Members of this committee receive no compensation

Directors. Sands exercised its right to designate Alan M. Bluestine, a

Exchange Commission (the "Commission"). Officers, directors and greater than

Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based solely upon a

</TABLE>

- -----------
(1)  The options have an exercise price of $1.00 per share and were granted 
on October 14, 1998.  Of these options, 5/6 were immediately exercisable and 
1/6 were to vest upon exercise of the warrants issued upon the conversion of 
the notes offered in the November 1998 private placement.  These warrants 
were exercised in full in March 1999, making all of these options currently 
exercisable.
(2)  The options were granted in two separate grants of options to purchase 
50,000 shares of common stock.  The first grant was made on January 9, 1998 
with an exercise price of $4.375, a ten year expiration, and vesting 
one-third each year for three years.  These options were later repriced to 
$1.00.  The second grant was made on October 14, 1998 with an exercise price 
of $0.375 per share, a five year expiration, and vesting one-third each year 
for three years.
(3) Potential realizable values are computed by multiplying the number of 
shares of common stock subject to a given option by closing market price on 
the date of grant for a share of common stock, assuming that the aggregate 
stock value derived from that calculation compounds at the annual 5% or 10% 
rate shown in the table for the entire five or ten-year term of the option 
and subtracting from that result the aggregate option exercise price. The 5% 
and 10% assumed annual rates of stock price appreciation are mandated by the 
rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and do not represent the 
Company's estimate or projection of future common stock prices.
(4) Although these options were granted at the fair market value of $4.375 on 
January 8, 1998, these numbers assume that the exercise price was $1.00 on 
January 8, 1998 in order to reflect the value of the repricing.

      There were no stock options exercised by Messrs. Neman, Swinehart or 
Jarrett during 1998.

provided for an annual base salary of $72,000 per year and bonus as 
determined by the Board of Directors. The agreement provided that in the 
event of termination without cause or as a result of a change in control, Mr. 
Neman would receive a severance payment equal to his base compensation 
through the term of the agreement. In November 1998, the Company entered into 
a new employment agreement with Mr. Neman (the "Neman Agreement") that 
superseded the prior employment agreement. Pursuant to the Neman Agreement, 
Mr. Neman will serve as the Chairman of the Board and President of the 
Company, but will no longer serve as its Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Neman 
will receive an annual salary of $72,000 and may receive bonuses as 
determined by the Board of Directors. The term of the Neman Agreement will 
expire in November 2001; provided, however, that the Neman Agreement may be 
earlier terminated by the Company under certain circumstances. Upon a 
termination without cause as defined in the Neman Agreement, the Company will 
make a severance payment to Mr. Neman of $500,000.

      The Company entered into a two-year employment agreement with Stephen 
Jarrett, effective January 1998, for employment as Vice President of Business 
Development with automatic renewals for successive one year periods, unless 
either party gives notice otherwise.  Under the agreement, Mr. Jarrett will 
receive a salary of $120,000 per year and incentive bonuses/commissions based 
on quantity purchase criteria.

STOCK OPTION PLANS
- ------------------

      In October 1996, the Company adopted the 1996 Stock Option Plan, as 
amended (the "1996 Plan"), and in February 1998 the Company adopted the 1998 
Stock Option Plan, as amended (the "1998 Plan"), pursuant to which 460,000 
and 540,000 shares of common stock, respectively, are currently authorized 
for issuance upon the exercise of options designated as either (1) options 
intended to constitute incentive stock options under the Internal Revenue 
Code of 1986, as amended or (2) non-qualified options. Under the 1996 Plan 
and the 1998 Plan, incentive stock options may be granted to employees and 
officers of the Company. Non-qualified options may be granted to consultants, 
directors (whether or not they are employees), employees or officers of the 
Company.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION
- -----------------------------------------------------------

      During the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998, the full Board of 
Directors decided all matters related to compensation, with the exception of 
the grant of options to executive officers under the Company's stock option 
plans.  Vinay Sharma and J. Sherman Henderson are the members of the 
committee administering these grants under the stock option plans.  During 
1998, two directors participated in deliberations on executive compensation 
while they also served as executive officers:  Ben Neman (Chairman of the 
Board, President and Chief Executive Officer until November 1998) and James 
Bunting (Chief Operating Officer, Executive Vice President and director until 
March 1998).  There are no interlocks between the Company and other entities 
involving the Company's executive officers and directors who served as 
executive officers or board members of other entities.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
- ----------------------------------------------------------

      The full Board of Directors decided all matters related to the 
compensation of the executive officers of the Company, except for grants of 
options to executive officers under the Company's stock option plans that 
were made after formation of a committee to oversee such grants.  The current 
Board of Directors consists of Ben Neman, John Swinehart, Vinay Sharma, Stephen 

                                       6
<PAGE>


Jarrett, J. Sherman Henderson and Mark M. Laisure. Messrs. Swinehart and 
Laisure became directors in November 1998, Mr. Jarrett became a director in 
March 1998 and Mr. Henderson became a director in February 1998. Mr. Neman 
serves as the Chairman of the Board and President of the Company. Mr. 
Swinehart serves as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Mr. Jarrett 
serves as Executive Vice President of the Company.

      The Company entered into a three-year employment agreement with Ben 
Neman, the Company's then Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and 
President, effective December 1996 (the "1996 Agreement"). Mr. Neman's 
compensation for 1997 was governed by such agreement, which agreement was 
superseded by a new three-year employment agreement in November 1998. Under 
the 1996 Agreement, Mr. Neman received an annual salary of $72,000 per year 
and such bonus as determined by the Board of Directors. In determining the 
salary and bonus for the Chief Executive Officer, the Board of Directors 
based its decisions upon the performance of the Company, as well as a review 
of the performance of the Chief Executive Officer. During 1998, the Company 
performed substantially below its performance during 1997, and the Board of 
Directors did not award any bonus to Mr. Neman for 1998. Mr. Neman did not 
participate in any decisions by the Board of Directors concerning his 
compensation.

      The Company entered into a three-year employment agreement with James 
Bunting, the Company's then Chief Operating Officer and Executive Vice 
President, effective July 1996. Mr. Bunting's compensation for 1998 was 
governed  by agreement, which provided for an annual salary of $70,000 per 
year and such bonus as determined by the Board of Directors. In determining 
the salary and bonus for the Chief Operating Officer, the Board of Directors 
based its decisions upon the performance of the Company, as well as a review 
of the performance of the Chief Operating Officer. During 1998, the Company 
performed substantially below its performance during 1997, and the Board of 
Directors did not award Mr. Bunting any bonus for 1998. Mr. Bunting did not 
participate in any decisions by the Board of Directors concerning his 
compensation. In March 1998, Mr. Bunting's employment as Chief Operating 
Officer and Executive Vice President terminated and he resigned from the 
Board of Directors.

      The Company entered into a three-year employment agreement with John C. 
Snyder II, the Company's then Chief Financial Officer and Vice President, 
effective April 1997. Mr. Snyder's compensation for 1997 was governed by such 
agreement, which provided for an annual salary of $70,000 per year and an 
annual bonus of $50,000. In providing for this salary and bonus for the Chief 
Financial Officer, the Board of Directors based its decisions upon the market 
rate of compensation for chief financial officers in similarly situated 
companies and upon the experience and qualifications of Mr. Snyder. In March 
1998, Mr. Snyder's employment as Chief Financial Officer terminated.

      The Company entered into a two-year employment agreement with Stephen 
Jarrett, effective January 1998, for employment as Vice President of Business 
Development with automatic renewals for successive one year periods, unless 
either party gives notice otherwise.  Under the agreement, Mr. Jarrett will 
receive a salary of $120,000 per year and incentive bonuses/commissions based 
on quantity purchase criteria.  The repricing of the exercise price for 
50,000 of Mr. Jarrett's options on October 14, 1999 from $4.375 to $1.00 was 
intended to provide an appropriate incentive to Mr. Jarrett, because the 
Board of Directors believed his salary was below the comparable industry 
level.

      The Company believes that equity ownership by executive officers 
provides incentive to build stockholder value and aligns the interests of 
executive

                                       7
<PAGE>


officers with the interests of stockholders. Upon the hiring of executive 
officers and other key employees, the Board of Directors will typically 
recommend stock option grants to those persons under the Company's stock 
option plans, subject to applicable vesting periods. Thereafter, the Board of 
Directors will consider awarding grants on a periodic basis. The Board of 
Directors believes that these additional grants will provide an incentive for 
executive officers to remain with the Company. Generally, options will be 
granted at the market price of the common stock on the date of grant and, 
consequently, will have value only if the price of the common stock increases 
over the exercise price. In determining the size of the periodic grants, the 
Board of Directors will consider various factors, including the amount of any 
prior option grants, the executive's or employee's performance during the 
current fiscal year and his or her expected contributions during the 
succeeding fiscal year.

      Section 162(m) of the Code, enacted in 1993, generally disallows a tax 
deduction to publicly held companies for compensation exceeding $1 million 
paid to certain of the corporation's executive officers. However, 
compensation which qualifies as "performance-based" is excluded from the $1 
million limit if, among other requirements, the compensation is payable upon 
attainment of pre-established, objective performance goals under a plan 
approved by the stockholders.

      The compensation paid to the Company's executive officers for the year 
ended December 31, 1998 fiscal year did not exceed the $1 million limit per 
officer, nor is it expected that the compensation to be paid to the Company's 
executive officers for 1999 will exceed that limit. Because it is very 
unlikely that the cash compensation payable to any of the Company's executive 
officers in  the foreseeable future will approach the $1 million limit, the 
Board of Directors has decided at this time not to take any action to limit 
or restructure the elements of cash compensation payable to the Company's 
executive officers. The Board of Directors will continue to monitor the 
compensation levels potentially payable under the Company's cash compensation 
programs, but intends to retain the flexibility necessary to provide total 
cash compensation in line with competitive practice, the Company's 
compensation philosophy and the Company's best interests.

      The foregoing report on executive compensation is provided by the Board 
of Directors:  Ben Neman,  John Swinehart, Vinay Sharma, Stephen Jarrett, J. 
Sherman Henderson and Mark M. Laisure.

PERFORMANCE GRAPH

      The chart below sets forth a line graph comparing the performance of 
the Company's common stock against Nasdaq Market Index and the Media General 
Financial Service's Electronics Wholesale Index ("MG Group Index") for the 
period from December 18, 1996 (the date on which the market price of the 
Company's shares was first quoted by the Nasdaq SmallCap Market following the 
Company's initial public offering) through December 31, 1998. The indices 
assume that the value of an investment in the Company's common stock and each 
index was 100 on December 18, 1996 and that dividends, if any, were 
reinvested.

ITEM 13.  CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

      Cellular Specialists, a company controlled by Mr. Neman's brother, is a 
customer of the Company.  For the year ended December 31, 1998, the Company 
sold $307,696 of wireless products to this Company.  As of March 15, 1999, 
$119,000 remains unpaid and is over 300 days past due.

      Digicell International Inc. ("Digicell"), a company controlled by two 
of Mr. Neman's cousins, is a customer and a supplier to the Company. For the 
year ended December 31, 1998, the Company sold to Digicell $1,577,000 and 
purchased from Digicell $817,000 of cellular products on terms no less 
favorable to the Company than could be obtained from an unaffiliated third 
party.

Sharma & Herron, one of the Company's attorneys. The Company paid the firm 
approximately $28,518 during the year ended December 31, 1998, for legal 
services rendered. In March 1998, options to purchase an aggregate of 100,000 
shares of common stock at $3.81 per share were granted to Mr. Sharma under 
the 1998 stock option plan and later repriced to $1.00 per share.  At the

$5.00 granted in 1996, and 47,000 shares at $8.25 granted in 1997) under the 
1996 stock option plan were canceled.
