Remuneration of Directors

         Non-employee  directors receive a fee of $1,000 for each meeting of the
Board attended in person and members of Committees of the Board receive a fee of
$500 for meetings  attended of the Committee of the Board on which such director
serves.  Non-employee  directors  are also  granted  options to purchase  10,000
shares of the  Company's  Common  Stock under the  Company's  1994  Non-Employee
Director  Stock  Option  Plan at the time such  person  becomes  a  non-employee
director and immediately  following each annual meeting of stockholders at which
directors  are elected.  Each option  granted is  exercisable  for period of ten
years  (subject  to  earlier   termination  at  specified   times   following  a
non-employee director's cessation of service) at an exercise price equal to 100%
of the fair market value on the date of grant of the shares subject thereto.

Employment Agreements

         The Company and Timothy J. Roach are parties to an Amended and Restated
Employment  Agreement,  effective  as of August 1, 1997,  pursuant  to which Mr.
Roach is serving as the Company's  President and Chief  Executive  Officer.  The
Agreement  replaced Mr. Roach's former  Employment  Agreement,  which expired on
July 31, 1997.  The Amended and  Restated  Employment  Agreement  provides for a
five-year  term,  presently  ending  July  31,  2003,  with  automatic  one-year
extensions  on each July 31 during the term unless  either party gives notice of
termination  at least 90 days prior to such July 31.  Under the  Agreement,  Mr.
Roach is presently entitled to an annual salary of $250,000 per year, subject to
increases and bonuses at the discretion of the Board of Directors.  In addition,
the Agreement  requires the Company to provide Mr. Roach with an allowance,  not
to exceed 20% of his then salary, to reimburse him for the cost of maintaining a
secondary  residence in Puerto Rico,  where the Company  maintains its principal
manufacturing facilities.  The Company also is to continue to maintain insurance
benefits provided Mr. Roach at levels and terms no less favorable than in effect
on August 1, 1997.  Mr. Roach has agreed,  among other  things,  not to disclose
confidential  information  of the  Company  and not to  directly  or  indirectly
engage,  during the term of the agreement and for two years  thereafter,  in any
activity which is competitive with the Company's business.  In consideration for
such covenant, Mr. Roach is to receive, for each year during the two-year period
following  termination of his employment,  an amount equal to his highest salary
rate in effect at any time during the one-year period preceding the date of such
termination  unless Mr. Roach's employment is terminated by reason of his death,
voluntary termination other than for "good reason" (in general,  adverse changes
in his  powers,  duties,  position  or  compensation  or certain  changes in the
location where his duties are to be  performed),  disability or for cause and he
is not capable of providing day-to-day services to a competitor. In the event of
termination  of  employment by reason of death or  disability,  Mr. Roach or his
beneficiary  is entitled to receive a  continuation  of his  compensation  for a
period  of one  year  and  two  years,  respectively.  In the  event  Mr.  Roach
terminates  his  employment for "good reason," the Company will also be required
to pay him a sum equal to three  times the amount of his highest  annual  salary
and highest  bonus for the current or two  preceding  fiscal  years,  subject to
reduction as to any amount that would constitute a "parachute payment" under the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended,  to the maximum amount that would not
constitute  such a "parachute  payment." In the event of the  termination of Mr.
Roach's employment other than for cause, all outstanding stock options then held
by Mr. Roach shall fully vest.

          George S.  Katsarakes  is a party to an  Employment  Agreement,  dated

authority,  Mr.  Katsarakes will be entitled to receive all compensation that he
would have received for the

$145,000  per annum,  subject  to review at the end of each year of  employment,

ITEM 13.  CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

         Since fiscal 1982,  the Company has leased  equipment from PRC Leasing,
Inc.  ("PRC"),  a corporation  wholly-owned by Alfred J. Roach,  Chairman of the
Board of  Directors  and a director  of the  Company.  On July 18,  1991,  as an
inducement  to the  Company's  then bank lenders to  restructure  the  Company's
long-term bank loan, among other things,  the Company acquired certain equipment
from PRC and replaced its leases with PRC for other  equipment  with a new lease
with PRC. The equipment lease (as subsequently  amended,  the "Equipment Lease")
has a term expiring July 17, 1999 (subject to an automatic  extension until July
17, 2001,  unless  terminated  by either party upon at least ninety days written
notice prior to the  scheduled  renewal  period) and provides for rentals at the
rate of $200,000 per year. The Company  believes that the rentals charged by PRC
are comparable to the rentals which would have been charged by unrelated leasing
companies for similar equipment.

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

         Section  16(a) of the  Securities  Exchange  Act of 1934,  as  amended,
requires  the  Company's  executive  officers  and  directors,  and  persons who
beneficially  own more than 10% of the Company's  Common  Stock,  to timely file
initial  statements of stock  ownership and  statements of changes of beneficial
ownership  with the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission  and furnish copies of
those  statements to the Company.  Based solely on a review of the copies of the
statements furnished to the Company to date, or written  representations that no
statements were required,  the Company believes that all statements  required to
be filed by such persons with  respect to the  Company's  fiscal year ended June
26, 1998 were timely filed.
