Compensation of Directors

         Each eligible non-employee director receives an annual grant of options
to purchase  1,500  shares of Common Stock  pursuant to the 1994  Formula  Stock
Option Plan (the "Formula Plan") at an exercise price equal to fair market value
on the date of grant and $1,500 per Board meeting attended. The Formula Plan was
adopted  to  provide  an  incentive  for  non-employee  directors.  Non-employee
directors  who  hold  more  than 5% of the  outstanding  shares  of stock of the
Company or who are in control of such a holder are  ineligible  to receive stock
option  grants  under  the  Formula  Plan.   Non-employee   directors  may  also
irrevocably  elect to be  ineligible  to receive  stock option  grants under the
Formula  Plan.  Options to purchase up to 75,000  shares of Common  Stock may be
granted under the Formula Plan.

         Options  are  granted  under the  Formula  Plan,  without  approval  or
discretion on the part of the Board to non-employee  directors as follows:  each
non-employee  director,  on the  date  such  non-employee  director  is  elected
receives options to purchase 1,500 shares of Common Stock, which vest and become
exercisable  in three  equal  installments,  one-third  on the date of grant and
one-third  on each of the first and second  anniversaries  of such  grant.  Each
non-employee  director  who has been a director  of the Company for at least one
year and has met certain other  requirements  receives on each January 1 options
to purchase an  additional  1,500  shares of Common  Stock,  which will vest and

Compensation Committee Report on Executive Compensation

General.  The  Compensation  Committee  determines the cash and other  incentive
compensation,  if any, to be paid to the Company's executive officers. The Stock
Option  Committee  is  responsible  for  the  administration  and  award  of the
Company's stock option plans.

Compensation  Philosophy.  The Compensation  Committee's executive  compensation
philosophy is to base management's pay, in part, on achievement of the Company's
annual  and  long-term  performance  goals,  to  provide  competitive  levels of
compensation,  to recognize  individual  initiative,  achievement  and length of
service to the  Company and to assist the Company in  attracting  and  retaining
qualified  management.   The  Compensation  Committee  also  believes  that  the
potential  for  equity   ownership  by  management  is  beneficial  in  aligning
managements'  and  stockholders'  interests in the  enhancement  of  stockholder
value.

Salaries.  Base salaries for the  Company's  executive  officers are  determined
initially  by  evaluating  the  responsibilities  of the  position  held and the
experience of the  individual,  food industry and  management  experience and by
reference to the competitive  marketplace for management  talent.  Annual salary
adjustments are determined by: i) evaluating the financial  results  achieved by
the Company;  ii) the performance of the executive  particularly with respect to
the ability to manage growth and  profitability of the Company;  iii) the length
of  the   executive's   service   to  the   Company;   and  iv)  any   increased
responsibilities assumed by the executive. The Company has employment agreements
with  Messrs.  Guinan and Weiner which set base  salaries for such  individuals.
These base salaries are based on and are reviewed  annually in  accordance  with
factors described in this paragraph and the terms of the employment  agreements.
See "Summary Compensation Table - Employment Agreements."

Annual Bonuses.  The Company does not currently have a formal bonus plan for its
executives, but from time to time considers the payment of discretionary bonuses
to its executive  officers.  Bonuses would be determined based upon the level of
achievement  by the Company and upon the level of  personal  achievement  by its
executive officers.

Compensation  of Chief Executive  Officer.  Mr. Guinan's base salary in 1999 was
$120,000 and was determined by contract.

Compensation Committee:    Donald J. Schmitt
                           Michael P. Schall
                           John H.Wyant

Compensation Committee Interlocks

         For the year  ended  December  31,  1999,  the  Compensation  Committee
consisted of Messrs.  Schmitt, Scholl and Wyant. Except as set forth in "Certain
Relationships and Related  Transactions,"  none of such Directors was a party to
any transaction with the Company which requires  disclosure under Item 402(j) of
Regulation S-K.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

requires the Company's officers and directors, and persons who own more than ten
percent  of a  registered  class of the  Company's  equity  securities,  to file

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

required, that all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to its officers,
directors  and greater than ten percent  beneficial  owners were  complied  with
during the year ended December 31, 1999.
