REMUNERATION OF DIRECTORS

     Beginning  with the first  meeting  of the Board of  Directors  held  after
September  20,  1995,  non-employee  directors  receive a fee of $1,000 for each
meeting of the Board held and members of  Committees  of the Board receive a fee
of $500 for  attending  each meeting of the Committee of the Board on which they
serve. Prior thereto directors received no compensation for their service on the
Board or any  committee of the Board,  except that Mr. Hogan  received  $600 for
each meeting of the Audit Committee which he attended. Pursuant to the Company's
1994  Non-Employee  Director  Stock Option Plan (as amended,  the  "Non-Employee
Director  Stock  Option  Plan"),  the  non-employee  directors of the Company in
office at the time stockholders  approved the plan on December 7, 1994 and, upon
his initial  election to the Board on September 20, 1995, Mr. Sharwell were each
granted  options to purchase  5,000 shares of the  Company's  Common Stock at an
exercise  price equal to the fair market value of the Company's  Common Stock on
the applicable date of grant. In addition, pursuant to the Non-Employee Director
Stock  Option  Plan,  each  newly  elected  director  on the  date of his or her
election  to the  Board and each  non-employee  director  in office  immediately
following each annual  meeting of  stockholders  (commencing  with the Company's
1995 Annual  Meeting  held on  December 6, 1995) on the date of such  meeting is
granted an option to purchase 10,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at the
fair  market  value of the  Company's  Common  Stock on the date of  grant.  All
options under the  Non-Employee  Director Stock Option Plan have a ten year term
(subject  to  early  termination  in the  event of  cessation  of  service  as a
non-employee director).

     From  August  7, 1992  until  July  31,1995,  Services  provided  financial
consulting  services  to  the  Company,   including  identifying  and  analyzing
potential  acquisitions and mergers,  and evaluating  potential  investments and
other financing  arrangements,  pursuant to a Consulting Agreement dated June 2,
1992. Under the Consulting  Agreement,  as amended,  Services received a monthly
fee of $7,500 and  additional  fees  based  upon the value of  certain  types of
transactions  consummated  by the Company.  In fiscal  1995,  in addition to its
monthly fee, the Company paid Services  $80,000 in connection with the Company's
entering into an $8,000,000  Revolving  Credit Loan  Agreement with a commercial
bank in  January  1995.  In  addition,  in  connection  with  entering  into the
Consulting  Agreement,  the  Company  granted to  Services  options to  purchase
400,000 shares of Common Stock, exercisable,  for a three-year period commencing
February 7, 1993, as follows:  (a) 200,000 shares at $5.00 per share; (b) 60,000
shares at $5.625 per share; (c) 60,000 shares at $6.25 per share; and (d) 80,000
shares at $7.50 per share. The holders of the shares underlying the options have
been granted the right to "piggyback" the shares in each registration  statement
(with certain exceptions) filed by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended for the sale of the Company's  securities  until August 6, 1997.  The
Company has  registered  the shares of Common Stock  underlying  the options for
resale in connection with the registration of other securities.  The Company has
also agreed to register such shares, on one occasion, upon the demand made prior
to August 7, 1997 by the holders of a majority of the underlying  shares,  taken
in the  aggregate.  Such  registration  statements are at the Company's cost and
expense,  except  commissions and legal fees of the then holders.  These options
were subsequently transferred by Services to William J. Rouhana, Jr., Timothy R.
Graham and a third  person,  each of whom  exercised  all of the options in 1996
except for those options  exercisable  at an exercise  price of $7.50 per share,
which have expired unexercised. Services is a wholly-owned subsidiary of WinStar
Companies.  Mr.  Rouhana,  a director of the  Company,  is  President  and Chief
Executive  Officer of Services and WinStar  Companies  and has sole voting power
over the  majority of the voting  shares of WinStar  Companies.  Mr.  Graham,  a
director of the Company,  is Executive Vice President of and General  Counsel to
Services.

ITEM 13.  CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

     On July 18, 1991, as an  inducement  to the Company's  then bank lenders to
restructure the Company's  long-term bank loan, the Company  acquired all of the
issued  and  outstanding  shares of capital  stock of Crown  Tool & Die  Company
("Crown"),  and acquired  certain and leased other  equipment  from PRC Leasing,
Inc. ("PRC"). At the time Crown was, and PRC remains,  corporations wholly-owned
by Alfred J.  Roach,  Chairman of the Board of  Directors  and a director of the
Company.  The equipment lease (as amended,  the "Equipment Lease"),  pursuant to
which the Company  leases  equipment from PRC, has a term expiring July 17, 1996
(subject to automatic  extensions until July 17, 1999 and July 17, 2001,  unless
terminated by either party upon at least ninety days written notice prior to the
then scheduled  renewal period) and provides for rentals at the rate of $200,000
per year. The Equipment  Lease provides that rentals be payable in shares of the
Company's Series A Preferred Stock,  valued at their  liquidation and redemption
value of $100 per share (the "Series A Preferred Stock"), for the period through
January 17, 1994 and thereafter in shares of Common Stock, valued at the average
market value  thereof  during the period for which rentals are payable in Common
Stock, payable at the end of the present term and each renewal period.  However,
during any time that there is no  restriction  contained in any mortgage or loan
agreement binding on the Company, accumulated rentals are to be paid in cash and
future  rentals are to be paid  semiannually  in cash. On January 31, 1995,  the
Company  entered into a Revolving  Credit Loan Agreement with a commercial  bank
which permitted  rentals to be paid in cash.  Accordingly,  on March 7, 1995 and
August 3, 1995,  the Company paid PRC $200,000 and  $300,000,  respectively,  in
payment of all accrued but unpaid rentals. The Company believes that the rentals
charged by PRC are  comparable  to the rentals  which would have been charged by
nonrelated leasing companies for similar equipment.

     On August 4, 1995 and September 21, 1995, the Company  redeemed  10,000 and
17,626 shares,  respectively,  of Series A Preferred Stock  (representing all of
the issued and outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock) from Mr. Roach at
the $100 per share  liquidation  and redemption  value of the Series A Preferred
Stock.  The Series A Preferred Stock was convertible  into Common Stock at $6.25
per share,  or into an aggregate of 442,016 shares of Common Stock.  The closing
sales price of the  Company's  Common Stock on August 4, 1995 and  September 21,
1995 were $7.50 and $9.25,  respectively.  Of such  shares of Series A Preferred
Stock:  (i) 12,390  shares were  acquired in exchange  for all of the issued and
outstanding  shares of capital stock of Crown;  (ii) 11,850 shares were acquired
by Mr. Roach from PRC which,  in turn,  had acquired  5,000,  2,850 and 4,000 of
such shares as part of the purchase  price for Crown  (which  received the 5,000
shares of Series A Preferred  Stock in  settlement  of $500,000 of  indebtedness
owed by Crown to PRC),  for the purchase  from PRC of  equipment  and for rental
payments through January 17, 1994 under the Equipment Lease,  respectively;  and
(iii) 3,386 shares were issued to Mr.  Roach in payment of dividends  payable in
Series A Preferred Stock on outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

     Between  August 1 and August 4,  1995,  Alfred J.  Roach,  Timothy J. Roach
(President,  Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Company),  William J.
Rouhana,  Jr. (a director of the  Company)  and Timothy R. Graham (a director of
the Company) exercised,  in accordance with their terms, Warrants which entitled
them to purchase  200,000,  100,000,  129,600 and 48,000 shares of Common Stock,
respectively,  at  $5.00  per  share.  The Warrants had been issued in a private

placement  of Common  Stock and  Warrants by the Company in August 1992 in which
investors  purchased  an  aggregate  of  2,200,000  shares of  Common  Stock and
Warrants to purchase a like number of shares of Common Stock in units consisting
of one share of Common Stock and one Warrant for $2.50 per unit. Messrs.  Alfred
J. Roach and Timothy J. Roach had acquired their units in exchange for preferred
stock,  purchased by them for cash of $500,000 and  $250,000,  respectively,  in
February  1992;  WinStar  Venture  II,  Inc.,  a  corporation  owned by  WinStar
Companies  (in  which,  in turn,  Mr.  Rouhana  has sole  voting  power over the
majority of the voting shares)  purchased  180,000 of the units and subsequently
transferred  the Common  Stock and Warrants  owned by it to Messrs.  Rouhana and
Graham and a third party. In addition, Mr. Graham purchased 30,000 of such units
individually.  The closing sales price of the Company's Common Stock on February
21, 1992, the date the Company  authorized  the private  placement was $5.00 per
share  (adjusted to give effect to the 1 for 2 1/2 reverse split of  outstanding
Common  Stock  effected  by the  Company on April 26,  1994) and on the dates of
exercise of the Warrants ranged from $7.50 per share to $7.81 per share.

Report for  information  concerning  fees for  consulting  services  paid by the
Company to Services and options  granted by the Company to Services with respect
thereto,  which were  options  exercised  in February  1996 by Messrs.  Rouhana,
Graham and a third party.
