(1)      The dollar values in this column are calculated by determining the
         difference between the fair market value of the Common Stock for which
         the applicable options are exercisable as of the end of the fiscal year
         and the exercise price of such options. The fair market value is based
         on the last sale price of the Common Stock on the NYSE on June 30,
         1999, which was $3.5625.

(2)      With respect to Mr. John, the amount reported reflects the transfer of

         on July 6, 1999.

ITEM 13.   CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS.

         In order to assist Francis D. John, the Chairman of the Board,
President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, with the acquisition of
and relocation to a new primary residence, the Company provided Mr. John interim
or bridge loans in the aggregate amount of $2,350,000, pending Mr. John
obtaining mortgage financing from a financial institution, or other third party
lender, or otherwise arranging for the repayment of such loans. Mr. John's
indebtedness to the Company is evidenced by three (3) notes payable to the
Company on demand, which bear interest on the principal balance outstanding
thereunder at the rate equal to 125 basis points above the most recently
published London Interbank Offered Rates ("LIBOR") for one-month contracts,
redetermined on each monthly anniversary of the dates thereof. The notes provide
that interest is due and payable upon the payment of any principal thereunder in
the amount equal to accrued and unpaid interest calculated as described above on
the amount of the principal payment being made. Payment of the notes is secured
by a mortgage on the property in question executed by Mr. John in favor of the
Company.

         Subsequent to the bridge loans described above, during the period from
December 1998 to August 1999, the Company also provided additional cash
advances, in the form of personal loans, to Mr. John in the aggregate amount of
$2,655,000. Mr. John's additional indebtedness to the Company is evidenced by
seven (7) additional notes payable to the Company on demand, which also bear
interest on the principal balance outstanding thereunder at the rate equal to
125 basis points above the most recently published LIBOR for one-month
contracts, redetermined on each monthly anniversary of the dates thereof. These
notes likewise provide that interest is due and payable upon the payment of any
principal thereunder in an amount equal to accrued and unpaid interest
calculated as described above on the amount of

                                       10

<PAGE>

the principal payment being made. Payment of these additional notes is also
secured by a mortgage on Mr. John's personal residence executed by Mr. John
in favor of the Company. As a result of these additional borrowings, Mr. John
currently has aggregate borrowings outstanding from the Company in the amount
of $5 million, which are secured by a first mortgage on his principal
residence.

         In connection with the negotiation of the terms of a five year
employment agreement with Mr. John and as an inducement to Mr. John to enter
into the new employment agreement, the Company entered into an agreement with
Mr. John, dated as of August 2, 1999, whereby, with respect to the aggregate of
$5 million in loans by the Company to Mr. John described above, the Company has
agreed that such loans, together with the accrued interest payable thereon, will
be forgiven ratably during the five year period commencing on July 1, 2000 and
ending on July 1, 2004. The agreement provides that the foregoing forgiveness of
indebtedness is predicated and conditioned upon Mr. John remaining employed by
the Company during the period from July 1, 1999 to July 1, 2004. In the event
that Mr. John is terminated by the Company for "Cause" (as defined in the
agreement), or in the event that Mr. John voluntarily terminates his employment
with the Company, the agreement further provides that the entire remaining
principal balance of these loans, together with accrued interest payable
thereon, will become immediately due and payable by Mr. John. However, in the
event that Mr. John's employment is terminated for "Good Reason", or as a result
of Mr. John's death or "Disability", or as a result of a "Change in Control"
(all as defined in that agreement), the agreement stipulates that the remaining
principal balance outstanding on the loans, together with accrued interest
thereon, will be forgiven.

         The agreement provides that, during the term thereof, Mr. John shall be
required to post such additional collateral to secure such loans as the Board of
Directors of the Company in its sole discretion may from time to time deem to be
necessary and/or appropriate under the circumstances and that the Board shall
review the adequacy of the collateral on at least an annual basis.

         This agreement further provides that with respect to any forgiveness of
the payment of principal and interest on the loans, Mr. John will be entitled to
receive a "gross-up" payment in an amount sufficient for him to pay any federal,
state, or local income taxes that may be due and payable by him with respect to
the forgiveness of such indebtedness (principal and interest). In addition, the
agreement provides that if Mr. John is subject to the tax imposed by Section
4999 of the Internal Revenue Code, the Company will reimburse him for such tax
on an after-tax basis.

         The agreement also provides that he will not (i) exercise any option
pertaining to shares of Common Stock that has been granted to him (or which may
be granted to him) or (ii) sell any Common Stock or other equity securities of
the Company that he owns for a period of three years from the effective date of
his new employment agreement, other than in the event of a Change in Control.
However, if the price of the Common Stock is in excess of an average of $12.00
per share for a period of 60 days, then Mr. John shall be entitled to sell or
otherwise dispose of any equity securities of the Company owned by him provided
he does not reduce his aggregate beneficial ownership of equity securities of
the Company by more than 50% of his then aggregate holdings at the time of such
sales or other disposition.

         On January 6, 1998, Metretek Technologies, a diversified provider of
products and services to the natural gas industry and a company for which W.
Phillip Marcum, one of the Directors of the Company, serves as Chairman of the
Board, President and Chief Executive Officer, sold certain assets held by its
wholly owned subsidiary, Marcum Gas Transmission, to Odessa. Metretek
Technologies sold the assets for a total consideration of $700,000. Metretek
Technologies also granted Odessa a right of first refusal to participate in
future projects developed by Marcum Gas Transmission on terms and conditions
identical to those provided to Marcum Gas Transmission.

         During fiscal 1998, the Company deposited $250,000 in a money market
account as collateral to secure a bank loan made to a business entity in which
Danny R. Evatt, Chief Information Officer and Vice President of Financial
Operations of the Company, owns an interest. Such amount is still on deposit as
collateral for the loan.

         In fiscal 1999, an investment management firm in which David J.
Breazzano, one of the Company's Directors, is a principal, purchased $25 million
principal amount of the Company's borrowings under a bridge loan agreement which
has since been repaid in full.

         In fiscal 1999, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with
an investment banking firm in which Kevin P. Collins, one of the Company's
Directors is a principal, pursuant to which such firm provided financial
advisory services to the Company in connection with the Equity Offering and
for which such firm received a total of $167,000.

         In connection with the negotiation of an employment agreement with
Thomas K. Grundman, the Company's Executive Vice President, Chief Financial
Officer and Treasurer, the Company made a $240,000 bridge loan and a $150,000
relocation loan to assist Mr. Grundman's relocation to the Company's executive
offices. Interest on these loans accrues at a rate of 6.125% per annum. The
bridge loan has been repaid. The relocation loan together with accrued interest
will be forgiven in three installments of $50,000 each on July 1, 2000, 2001 and
2002; PROVIDED that if Mr. Grundman's employment is terminated during such
period in a way that (i) triggers severance obligations, all amounts owed shall
be immediately forgiven or (ii) does not trigger severance obligations, all
amounts owed shall be immediately due and payable.
