                           purposes of pursuing the possibility of acquiring the
                           majority or all of the stock of Issuer. On July 27,
                           1999 Mr. Phillip DeZwirek met with two officers of
                           the Issuer and expressed CEC's desire to initiate
                           discussions with the Issuer regarding the possible
                           acquisition of the Issuer at $15 per share cash,
                           subject to due diligence and execution of a definite
                           agreement containing customary terms and agreements.
                           On July 30, 1999, Issuer advised Mr. DeZwirek that
                           the Board of Directors was not interested in
                           entertaining such offer at such time. CEC will
                           continue to explore its options in seeking to acquire
                           the Issuer.
