ITEM 13.   CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS.

         In connection with the negotiation of the terms of a new five (5)
year employment agreement with Mr. John (which employment agreement contains
significant restrictions on exercising options and selling stock as well as
non-compete provisions and as an inducement to Mr. John to
enter into a new five (5) year employment agreement and to provide
safeguards against Mr. John terminating such employment agreement early, the
Company entered into an agreement with Mr. John, dated as of August 2, 1999,
whereby, with respect to an aggregate of $5 million in loans by the Company
to Mr. John during fiscal 1998, 1999 and 2000, the Company has agreed that
such loans, together with the accrued interest payable thereon, will be
forgiven ratably during the five (5) 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 h is 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", 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 which 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.

         On January 6, 1998, Metretek Technologies, a diversified provider of
products and services to the natural gas industry and a company for which W.

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 the 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 and for which such firm received a total of
$167,000.
