All Class A Directors are elected by holders of the Class A Common Stock and all
Class B Directors are elected by holders of the Class B Common Stock at the
annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company and hold office following
election or until their successors are elected and qualified. The Company's
bylaws permit the Board of Directors to fill any vacancy and such Director may
serve until the next annual meeting. The officers of the Company are appointed
by and serve at the discretion of the Company's Board of Directors.

To the best knowledge of the Company, other than as stated above, no Director of
the Company is a Director of any other company with a class of securities
registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or subject to
the requirements of Section 15(d) of that Act or any company registered under
the Investment Company Act of 1940.

There are no family relationships between any of the Company's Executive
Officers and Directors.

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Company's
directors and executive officers, and person who own more than ten percent of
the outstanding Common Stock, to file with the Securities and Exchange
Commission initial reports of ownership on Form 3 and reports of changes in
ownership of Common Stock on Form 4 or 5. Such persons are required by SEC
regulation to furnish the Company with copies of all such reports they file.

Based solely on its review of the copies of such reports furnished to the
Company or written representations that no other reports were required, the
Company believes 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.

Meetings and Committees of the Board of Directors

The Company's Board of Directors held four meetings during the year ended
December 31, 1999. At December 31, 1999, the Company had a Compensation
Committee consisting of Thomas M. Ferguson and John J. Rydzewski. During 1999,
the Compensation Committee did not meet. The Compensation Committee reviews
existing and proposed compensation plans, programs and arrangements both for
officers of the Company and for certain non-officer employees. The Committee
also grants stock options and awards restricted stock to key employees,
including officers and members of the Board, in accordance with the terms of the
Company's stock option plans. The full Board of Directors, and not the
Committee, is authorized to grant or award compensation, options or restricted
stock to any officer or employee who is also a Director and a member of the
Compensation Committee.

The Company's Audit Committee consists of Thomas M. Ferguson and John J.
Rydzewski, each of whom are outside Directors, as members of both Company's
Compensation Committee and Audit Committee. The Audit Committee will review the
scope of the accountants' engagement, including the remuneration to be paid, and
will review the independence of the accountants. The Audit Committee, with the
assistance of the Company's Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer and other
appropriate personnel, will review the Company's annual financial statements and
the independent auditor's report, including significant reporting and
operational issues; corporate policies and procedures as they relate to
accounting and financial reporting and financial controls; litigation in which
the Company is a party; and use by the Company's Executive Officers of expense
accounts and other non-monetary perquisites, if any. The Audit Committee may
direct the Company's legal counsel, independent auditors and internal audit
staff to inquire into and report to it on any matter having to do with the
Company's accounting or financial procedures or reporting.

No Director attended fewer than 75% of the meetings of the Board of Directors or
of any committee on which such Director served during the year ended December
31, 1999.

ITEM 11.  SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The following table shows, as of April 17, 2000, the Common Stock owned
beneficially by (i) each Director of the Company, (ii) each Executive Officer,
(iii) all Directors and Executive Officers as a group, and (iv) each person
known by the Company to be the "beneficial owner" of more than five percent (5%)
of such Common Stock. "Beneficial ownership" is a technical term broadly defined
by the Securities and Exchange Commission to mean more than ownership in the
usual sense. For example, you "beneficially" own Common Stock not only if you
hold it directly, but also if you indirectly (through a relationship, a position


                                       7

as a Director or trustee, or a contract or understanding), have (or share the
power to vote the stock, or sell it) the right to acquire it within 60 days.
Except as disclosed in the footnotes below, each person has sole voting and
investment power over his or her shares. As of April 17, 2000, there were
32,838,347 shares of Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding and 1,530
holders of record, and 25,000 shares of Class B Common Stock issued and
outstanding and one holder of record. In addition, there are 2,170 shares of
Series B Preferred Stock issued and outstanding and one holder of record.

ITEM 12.  CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

The following describes certain transactions or relationships between the
Company and its officers, directors and certain related parties in which any of
them had or is to have a direct or indirect material interest. Except as
otherwise specifically set forth herein, for purposes of this section, the term
"Company" also includes each of the Company's subsidiaries.

                                       9
<PAGE>

Except as otherwise stated below, all transactions between and among the Company
and its subsidiaries described below, its executive officers and the
subsidiaries and each of their respective affiliates have been entered into
without the benefit of arm's length bargaining and may involve conflicts of
interest. The Company believes that transactions with affiliates have been made
on terms no less favorable to the Company than those available from unaffiliated
parties. In addition, the structure and proposed method of operations of the
Company may create certain inherent conflicts between the Company and its
affiliates.

ASSOCIATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

All of the Company's directors and officers who performed such functions prior
to the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of
Exchange dated December 21, 1998 between Seal Holdings Corporation and OHI were
associated with other firms or occupations involving other business activities.
Because of these affiliations and because these individuals devoted only part
time to the affairs of the Company, there were potential inherent conflicts of
interest in their acting as directors and officers of the Company and of other
entities. All of the Company's directors and officers who served as directors or
controlling stockholders of other entities were engaged in a variety of
businesses which may have had various transactions with the Company. Please
refer to the Company's Form 8-K dated April 2, 1999. As more fully described in
such Form 8-K, effective April 2, 1999 Seal Holdings Corporation acquired all of
the outstanding shares of OH, Inc., a Florida corporation ("OHI") in exchange
for approximately 91% of the outstanding Company shares, on a fully diluted
basis (the "Reverse Merger").

OAKRIDGE TRANSACTION

On September 30, 1999, the Company completed a transaction the ("Oakridge
Transaction") pursuant to which its then wholly-owned subsidiary, OHI (which,
through its subsidiaries, owned, operated and managed a comprehensive outpatient
medical, diagnostic and surgical facility and physician practice business
located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida), became a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Oakridge Outpatient Center, Inc., ("Oakridge"). All of the outstanding capital
stock of Oakridge was held by Gary Matzner, Rudy Noriega and Doyle Campbell,
M.D. Immediately prior to the Oakridge Transaction, Mr. Matzner was OHI's
general counsel, Mr. Noriega was OHI's president and Dr. Campbell was a
physician employee of a subsidiary of OHI. The terms of the Oakridge Transaction
were the result of arms-length negotiations between the parties. OHI's business
constituted the only active business operations of the Company at that time. The
Company has no ownership interest in Oakridge.

The Company's strategy for OHI's business was based upon its belief that
sophisticated outpatient medical, diagnostic and surgical facilities would
become the preferred delivery model for a significant portion of healthcare.
During 1998 and 1999, the Company developed and operated the Oakridge
Comprehensive Outpatient Center (the "Oakridge Center") as its first outpatient
facility.


                                       10
<PAGE>

The Oakridge Center served the Fort Lauderdale and northern Broward County
communities and was intended to be the prototype for other outpatient centers.
In the operation of the Oakridge Center, the Company incurred start-up losses
significantly greater than anticipated due to a variety of factors, including
third party actions adverse to OHI which the Company believes adversely impacted
the use of the Center by physicians and patients. Despite the Company's
continued belief that sophisticated outpatient centers are a preferred delivery
model for healthcare, the start-up losses of the Oakridge Center indicated
greater risk than the Company was prepared to undertake. Accordingly, after
presentation to the Company of an offer whereby an investor group comprised of
certain members of OHI's management would form a new corporation, Oakridge, and
invest working capital in OHI's outpatient business (in addition to receiving
certain supplemental loans directly from an affiliate of Dr. Pearce), OHI was
merged into a subsidiary of Oakridge for a nominal payment and assumption by the
surviving company of all liabilities of OHI and its subsidiaries. In addition,
in the merger, the Company assigned to Oakridge its claims against third parties
that had taken actions adverse to the Company and received the right to certain
contingent payments from the proceeds of any legal actions against such third
parties. The Company understands that the potential claim against such third
parties are being investigated and a possible legal action is being evaluated.
There can be no assurance that, if a legal action is instituted, it will be
successful, or even if successful, will result in any payment to the Company.

The foregoing description of the Oakridge Transaction is qualified in its
entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement filed as an exhibit to the
Company's For 8-K dated September 30, 1999. For further information relating to
the Oakridge Transaction, including limitations on the Company's ability to
participate in any potential litigation recovery, please refer to the Company's
Form 8-K dated September 30, 1999.

THOMAS M. FERGUSON

Effective April 2, 1999, the Company entered into a one year consulting
agreement ("FSC Agreement") with First Stanford Corporation ("First Stanford"),
whose sole stockholder, officer and director is Thomas M. Ferguson, a Class A
Director of the Company (as of April 2, 1999) and the former Chief Executive
Officer, President and Class B Director of the Company (to April 2, 1999). Under
the terms of the FSC Agreement, First Stanford provided advisory services with
respect to strategic and financial planning, marketing programs, corporate
organization and structure and other general corporate matters. In connection
with the performance of its services, First Stanford received $15,000 per month
(for a total of $180,000 during the one year term of the FSC Agreement). The
terms and conditions of the FSC Agreement were with the benefit of arm's length
negotiations. The FSC Agreement ended by its terms on April 1, 2000.


                                       11
<PAGE>

On March 25, 1997, Mr. Ferguson purchased from the Company 120,000 shares of the
Company's Class A common stock for $120,000. As consideration for the purchase,
Mr. Ferguson issued a promissory note to the Company for $120,000 secured by a
pledge agreement granting the Company a security interest in the shares. The
note was due upon the earlier of March 21, 1999, the termination of Mr.
Ferguson's employment with the Company, the date of sale or other disposition of
the shares by Mr. Ferguson, or any breach of his obligations under the pledge
agreement..

In a meeting of the Board of Directors dated December 1, 1998, it was resolved
that, subject to a successful closing of the Reverse Merger with OHI, that Mr.
Ferguson receive a special bonus equal to the value of the loan granted to him
on March 25, 1997, and any accrued interest receivable. Accordingly, on April 2,
1999, in connection with the closing of the Reverse Merger, the Company forgave
the note receivable of $120,000 and related accrued interest of $12,757.

M. LEE PEARCE, M.D.

M. Lee Pearce M.D., the Company's Chairman of the Board and its majority
stockholder, directly or indirectly, owns a number of entities with which the
Company, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, does or has done business. The
majority of these affiliated transactions related to the operations of OHI,
which as of September 30, 1999 are no longer owned by the Company. In
particular, Dr. Pearce (i) is the beneficial owner of North Ridge Va., Ltd.
("VAL"), the entity which owns the building where the Oakridge Center is located
and was operated and leased by subsidiaries of OHI, (ii) is the beneficial owner
of a substantial majority of North Ridge Medical Plaza, Ltd. ("NRMP"), which
owns the building where the Company leases a suite for its corporate office and
where subsidiaries of OHI leased office suites for physician, executive offices,
and for a cardiac catheterization laboratory ("Cath Lab"), and (iii) is the
beneficial owner of Oakridge Medical Group Realty, Inc. ("Realty"), a Florida
corporation that is controlled by an affiliate of the Dr. Pearce, which owns two
buildings that housed the offices of certain physician employees of a subsidiary
of OHI.

Following the Oakridge Transaction, the Company now leases 2,060 square feet of
office space in the NRMP pursuant to a lease expiring in 2004. The lease has an
annual rental rate of approximately $38,000, adjusted annually for inflation.
Prior to the Oakridge Transaction, affiliates of Dr. Pearce had agreements with
subsidiaries of OHI as set forth below.


                                       12
<PAGE>

Lease Agreements between OHI Subsidiaries and Certain Affiliates of Dr. Pearce

At the time of the Oakridge Transaction, OHI was in the process of entering into
a definitive lease agreement with VAL, for the lease of the Oakridge Center.
Such lease was anticipated to be a triple-net lease, however, the specific terms
of the lease were in the process of being negotiated. It was anticipated that
the annual rental under such lease would be based on fair market rates and that
the balance of the material terms would be no less favorable than could be
obtained by the Company from unaffiliated parties in an arm's length
transaction.

OHI also expected to enter into a written lease agreement with NRMP for the Cath
Lab to consist of approximately 5,700 square feet. The agreement had not been
fully negotiated or executed at the time of the Oakridge Transaction. The annual
rental under such lease was anticipated to be based on fair market rates and the
balance of the material terms was anticipated to be no less favorable than could
be obtained by OHI from unaffiliated parties in an arm's length transaction.

Lease of Administrative and Physician Offices

Through one or more of its subsidiaries, OHI leased four suites from NRMP. These
suites were used for administrative and physician offices. The office suites
each leased for approximately $18 per square foot on a month-to-month basis,
which is consistent with the amount paid by and terms of arrangements between
NRMP and non-affiliated tenants. As of the date of the Oakridge Transaction, OHI
had not entered into definitive written agreements with NRMP. It was anticipated
that the annual rental under such leases would be based on fair market rates and
that the balance of the material terms would be no less favorable than could be
obtained by the Company from unaffiliated parties in an arm's length
transaction.

Through its subsidiaries, OHI also leased approximately 16,000 square feet at
$18 per square foot, on a month to month basis from Realty. These rates were
established by an independent appraisal firm. As of the date of the OHI
Transaction, OHI had not entered into a definitive written agreement with
Realty.

Credit Support of Certain Company Obligations

OHI and its subsidiaries had entered into lease and loan agreements relating to
computer hardware and software, office equipment and medical equipment. The
total amount of such lease and loan obligations was approximately $9.0 million.
In connection with these lease and loan obligations, Dr. Pearce provided credit
support for the issuance of letters of credit in favor of the lessors and
creditors. The amounts of the letters of credit totaled approximately $1.8
million.

Guarantees of Other Contractual Obligations

Certain affiliates of Dr. Pearce provided limited guarantees of certain
contractual obligations of subsidiaries of OHI, including, among other items,
agreements with certain employees entered into before any significant
capitalization of OHI.

JOHN J. RYDZEWSKI

Mr. Rydzewski is a principal in Benedetto Gartland and Company, Inc., an
investment-banking firm providing services to the Company ("BGC"). In connection
with the Company's agreement with the BGC, the Company paid fees and expenses of
$465,923 and $179,939 and issued 300,000 and 150,000 shares of Class A Common
Stock during the year ended December 31, 1999 and the three-month period ended
March 31, 2000, respectively. In addition, the Company's majority stockholder,
Dr. Pearce, transferred 150,000 shares of his Class A Common Stock to BGC in
connection with services provided in the Reverse Merger. The agreement with BGC
expired by its terms on March 31, 2000. Additional placement fees and share
purchase rights may be earned by BGC upon the occurrence of certain events,
including certain future sales of securities by the Company and when the Company
makes investments which are facilitated by or require the assistance of BGC.

In addition to the fees described above, as compensation for services provided
to the Company by BGC in connection with the Company's investment in
Healthology, Inc., 5% of the 3,211,453 shares acquired by the Company at a cost
of $1.00 per share were transferred to BGC. The Company retained voting control
over all such shares.
