*        Computed based upon the difference between the closing price of the
         Common Stock at December 31, 1998 (1 5/16) and the exercise price
         of the options ($1.50). No value has been assigned to options which
         are not in the money.

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS

         Directors who are not employees of the Company annually receive options
to acquire 25,000 shares of Common Stock, at the closing price of the Common
Stock on the date of grant. These options vest immediately. Directors also
receive $3,000 per year for service on the Board of Directors and on committees
of the Board of Directors. Directors who are employees of the Company receive no
additional compensation for their service on the Board of Directors. All
Directors are also reimbursed for expenses incurred in attending Board meetings.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS

         On February 19, 1997, in connection with the IPO, Messrs. Stein and
Briskin each entered into an employment agreement with the Company. The term of
such employment agreements (subject to earlier termination for cause) are for an
initial period of five years and will thereafter continue for successive
one-year terms unless canceled by either party. During the term of such
employment agreements, Messrs. Stein and Briskin will each receive a salary of
$150,000 per year, which salary will increase annually by 10 percent of the
prior year's salary plus the increase in the consumer price index, which annual
increase may not, in any event, exceed 20 percent of the prior year's salary. In
addition,

                                        6

<PAGE>

Messrs. Stein and Briskin will each be entitled to receive an annual bonus equal
to five percent of the Company's pre-tax net income in each fiscal year. The
Company provides each of Messrs. Stein and Briskin with an automobile allowance
of $500 per month and a term life insurance policy in the amount of $500,000.

         In the event that during the term of such employment agreements there
is a change of control of the Company which has not been approved by the
Company's Board of Directors, Messrs. Stein and Briskin will have the option to
terminate their employment with the Company within three months of the change of
control and receive a lump sum payment of $750,000 each. In such event, all
previously granted stock options would become automatically vested. If the Board
of Directors approves a change of control, Messrs. Stein and Briskin may
terminate their employment, but would only be entitled to receive a payment
equal to the prior year's annual salary and to become automatically vested in a
portion of their stock option equal to their percentage completion of the term
of their employment agreement. For purposes of the employment agreements, a
change in control is defined as an event that: (i) would be required to be
reported in response to Item 6(e) of Schedule 14(a) of Regulation 14A under the
Exchange Act; or (ii) causes a person other than Messrs. Stein and Briskin to
beneficially own more than 30 percent of the Company's outstanding securities.
As part of such employment agreements, each of Messrs. Stein and Briskin will
agree not to compete against the Company for a 12-month period following the
termination of his employment with the Company for any reason other than a
change in control without the approval of the Board of Directors.

STOCK OPTION PLAN

         The Company has adopted the 1996 Stock Option Plan (the "1996 Plan").
Pursuant to the 1996 Plan, options to acquire a maximum of 265,000 shares of
Common Stock may be granted to directors, executive officers, employees
(including employees who are directors), independent contractors and consultants
of the Company. At the date of this Form 10-KSB/A, options to purchase 233,300
options have been granted under the 1996 Plan, 141,799 of which are presently
vested. On October 30, 1998, the exercise price of all outstanding employee,
officer and director options was repriced to an exercise price of $1.50 per
share.

         The 1996 Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the
Board of Directors. The Compensation Committee determines which persons will
receive options and the number of options to be granted to such persons. The
Compensation Committee also interprets the provisions of the 1996 Plan and makes
all other determinations that it may deem necessary or advisable for the
administration of the 1996 Plan.

         Pursuant to the 1996 Plan, the Company may grant both ISOs (Incentive
Stock Options) and NQSOs (Non-Qualified Stock Options). The price at which the
Company's Common Stock may be purchased upon the exercise of options granted
under the 1996 Plan are required to be at least equal to the per share fair
market value of the Common Stock on the date particular options are granted.
Options granted under the 1996 Plan may have maximum terms of not more than 10
years and are not transferable, except by will or the laws of descent and
distribution. None of the ISOs under the 1996 Plan may be granted to an
individual owning more than 10 percent of the total combined voting power of all
classes of stock issued by the Company unless the purchase price of the Common
Stock under such option is at least 110 percent of the fair market value of the
shares issuable on exercise of the option determined as of the date the option
is granted, and such option is not exercisable more than five years after the
grant date.

                                        7

<PAGE>

         Generally, unless otherwise determined by the Compensation Committee or
the Board of Directors, options granted under the 1996 Plan remain outstanding
and may be exercised at any time up to three months after the person to whom
such options were granted is no longer employed or retained by the Company or
serving on the Company's Board of Directors.

         Pursuant to the 1996 Plan, unless otherwise determined by the
Compensation Committee, one-third of the options granted to an individual are
exercisable upon grant, one-third are exercisable on the first anniversary of
such grant and the final one-third are exercisable on the second anniversary of
such grant. However, options granted under the 1996 Plan shall become
immediately exercisable if the holder of such options is terminated by the
Company or is no longer a director of the Company, as the case may be,
subsequent to certain events which are deemed to be a "change in control" of the
Company. A "change in control" of the Company generally is deemed to occur when
(i) any person becomes the beneficial owner of or acquires voting control with
respect to more than 20 percent of the Common Stock (or 35 percent if such
person is a holder of Common Stock on the effective date of the IPO) (ii) a
change occurs in the composition of a majority of the Company's Board of
Directors during a two-year period, provided that a change with respect to a
member of the Company's Board of Directors shall be deemed not to have occurred
if the appointment of a member of the Company's Board of Directors is approved
by a vote of at least 75 percent of the individuals who constitute the then
existing Board of Directors; or (iii) the Company's shareholders approve the
sale of substantially all of the Company's assets.

         ISOs granted under the 1996 Plan are subject to the restriction that
the aggregate fair market value (determined as of the date of grant) of options
which first become exercisable in any calendar year cannot exceed $100,000.

ITEM 12. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

         In July 1996, the Company entered into a five year lease with
RSB Holdings, Inc., a Florida corporation ("RSB Holdings"), pursuant to which
the Company leases its corporate headquarters and warehouse in North Miami,
Florida. The Company makes annual payments under such lease in the amount of
approximately $43,200. Messrs. Stein and Briskin each own 50 percent of RSB
Holdings, and are its sole officers and directors.

         Immediately prior to the IPO (February 13, 1997), Messrs. Stein and
Briskin, who owned all of the outstanding stock of AESP Computerzuberhor GmbH, a
German company, and Advanced Electronic Support Products Computertillbehor i
Sweden Aktiebolag, a Swedish company, contributed their interests in said
corporations to the Company for no additional consideration.

         In February 1997, the Company issued two Principal Shareholders' Notes,
each in the amount of $869,562. The Principal Shareholders' Notes bore interest
at a rate of one percent over the prime rate, payable monthly. Principal and
accrued but unpaid interest was due February 19, 2005. The Principal
Shareholders' Notes were originally convertible into Common Stock of the Company
at a conversion price of $4.00 per share. In February and March 1997, the
Company paid Messrs. Stein and Briskin an aggregate of $300,000 ($150,000 each)
as a prepayment of a portion of the Principal Shareholders' Notes. Effective
December 31, 1998, the Company's principal shareholders converted the Principal
Shareholders Notes into an aggregate of 799,514 shares of Common Stock (399,757
each). The conversion price was $1.80 per share. The conversion price was
determined by the Board, after negotiation with the principal shareholders, and
represented a 31% premium over the price of the Common Stock on the conversion
date. The conversion, which amended the terms of the Principal Shareholders'
Notes to lower the conversion price, was effected in order to save the Company
interest on the notes and to increase the net worth of the Company.

         In July 1995, US Advantage Corporation, a Florida corporation ("US
Advantage") loaned the Company $120,000, pursuant to a demand promissory note,
at an interest rate of 8.5 percent per annum. During 1997, the Company paid
$125,350 to US Advantage in satisfaction of all the principal and a portion of
the interest on this note. Messrs. Stein and Briskin each own 50 percent of the
issued and outstanding capital stock of US Advantage. Approximately $33,000 of
accrued but unpaid interest remains outstanding under this note.

         Argent Securities, Inc. ("Argent"), acted as one of the managing
underwriters in the IPO. Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, dated February
13, 1997, between Argent and the Company, among other parties, Argent was
provided the right to designate a nominee for election to the Board. Mr. Reames,
who serves as Chairman of Argent, also serves on the Company's Board as Argent's
nominee Director.

         In September 1997, the Company acquired the assets of the networking
division of Focus Enhancements, Inc. ("Focus"). The Company also is a supplier
to Focus. Mr. Coldrick, who serves as a Director on the Board, also serves as a
member of the Board of Directors of Focus.

         The Company believes that all the foregoing related-party transactions
were on terms, as a whole, no less favorable to the Company than could
reasonably be obtained from unaffiliated third parties. Since the IPO, all
transactions with affiliates have been approved by a majority of disinterested
directors of the Company and on terms no less favorable to the Company than
those that are generally available from unaffiliated third parties.
