Stock Options Granted in Fiscal 2000

     The following table sets forth information concerning grants of stock
options to each of the executive officers named in the table above during the
fiscal year ended March 31, 2000. All options granted to these executive
officers in the last fiscal year were granted under the 1995 stock option plan.
Each option vests and becomes exercisable over a period of four years. All
options were granted at an exercise price equal to the closing price of the
Common Stock as reported on the Nasdaq National Market on the date of grant.
Potential realizable values are net of exercise price, but before taxes
associated with the exercise. Amounts represent hypothetical gains that could be
achieved for the options if exercised at the end of the option term. The assumed
5% and 10% rates of stock price appreciation are provided in accordance with
rules of the SEC and do not represent the Company's estimate or projection of
the future common stock price. The assumed 5% and 10% rates of stock price
appreciation are based on the closing price of the Common Stock of $4.375 per
share as reported on the Nasdaq National Market on March 31, 2000.

(1)  All options granted in fiscal 2000 were granted pursuant to the Company's
     1995 Stock Option Plan (the "1995 Plan").  These options vest and become
     exercisable at the rate of one-fourth on the first anniversary of the date

     modify the terms, including the price, of outstanding options.

(2)  All options in this table have exercise prices equal to the fair market
     value on the date of grant.

(3)  Potential gains are net of exercise price, but before taxes associated with
     exercise.  These amounts represent certain assumed rates of appreciation
     only, based on the Securities and Exchange Commission rules. Actual gains,
     if any, on stock option exercises are dependent on the future performance
     of the Common Stock, overall market conditions and the option holder's
     continued employment through the vesting period.  The amounts reflected in
     this table may not necessarily be achieved.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

     Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Company's
executive officers, directors and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of
the Company's Common Stock to file initial reports of ownership and reports of
changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").  Such
persons are required by SEC regulations to furnish the Company with copies of
all Section 16(a) forms filed by such persons.

     Based solely on the Company's review of such forms furnished to the Company
and written representations from certain reporting persons, the Company believes
that all filing requirements applicable to the Company's executive officers,
directors and more than ten percent (10%) stockholders were complied with.
