EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
 
    During fiscal 1994, the Company entered into five-year employment agreements
with each of the Named Executive Officers. The agreement with Mr. Haase was
terminated effective June 13, 1997, pursuant to the Settlement Agreement
described below. Mr. Rasmusson's agreement provides that if his employment is
terminated without "cause" (as defined in the agreement), he will be entitled to
be paid his then current salary, bonus and other benefits through the remaining
term of the agreement, and under certain circumstances the Company will be
obligated to provide health and life insurance for the balance of his life. In
addition, in the event that his employment is terminated in connection with a
"change in control" of the Company (as defined), he will be entitled to receive
as severance pay an amount equal to two and one-half times his "annualized
includible compensation for the base period" (as defined in Section 28OG(d) of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended), payable in a lump sum, in cash,
on the fifth day following such termination. If the Company had been obligated
to pay under this provision as of September 30, 1997, approximately $960,200
would have been payable to Mr. Rasmusson. The employment agreement was amended,
effective October 1, 1997, to extend the term to December 31, 1999, and to amend
other provisions related to duties and responsibilities, compensation and
termination.
 
SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT
 
    On May 5, 1997, an action was commenced on behalf of Harley Haase, the
Company's former Chief Executive Officer, against the Company alleging a number
of claims relating to the termination of Mr. Haase's employment with the
Company. Effective June 13, 1997, Mr. Haase and the Company entered into a
Settlement Agreement that included the termination of Mr. Haase's employment
agreement, his resignation as a director of the Company, the payment to Mr.
Haase of a settlement amount of approximately $158,280, and a mutual release of
claims.
 
LICENSE AGREEMENTS
 
    The Company has entered into an exclusive license agreement with Larry
Rasmusson pursuant to which Mr. Rasmusson, as licensor, granted the Company, as
licensee, the exclusive right to make, use, and sell certain medical products
and to receive information and assistance from Mr. Rasmusson to make, use and
sell the products. Mr. Rasmusson is to receive royalties in the amount of 4% of
the "net sales price" (as defined) of all licensed products sold. Royalties
continue for the life of the product. If at any time a product covered by the
agreement is no longer sold by the Company (defined as a reduction by 50% in
sales from the previous calendar year), the license will no longer be exclusive
as to that product. The agreement contains a provision for increasing the
royalty amount if royalty rates paid by the Company to others for similar
products are higher than 4%. The agreement also provides that upon the
termination of the employment of Harley Haase, the royalty will be increased
from 4% to 6% on certain products, and Mr. Rasmusson and Mr. Haase will each
receive royalties of 3% on sales of such products. During fiscal 1997, 1996, and
1995, Mr. Rasmusson earned $32,454, $27,000, and $21,669, respectively, in
royalties under this agreement. Mr. Haase earned $1,801 in fiscal 1997.
 
    Oxboro Outdoors, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company
("Outdoors"), has entered into an exclusive license and royalty agreement with
Mr. Rasmusson pursuant to which Mr. Rasmusson, as licensor, granted Outdoors, as
licensee, the exclusive right to make, use, and sell certain outdoor
recreational products and to receive information and assistance from Mr.
Rasmusson to make, use and sell the products. Mr. Rasmusson is to receive an
advance royalty payment of $1,500 for each product accepted for development by
Outdoors and continuing royalties in the amount of 8% of the "net sales price"
(increased to 9% when the cumulative aggregate "net sales price" exceeds
$1,000,000) of all such products sold after the cumulative "net sales price" of
all products sold multiplied by the applicable royalty percentage exceeds the
total of all royalty advances. Royalties continue for the life of the products.
Advance royalties of $112,500 were paid prior to fiscal 1995. No advance
royalties were paid during fiscal 1995, 1996, or 1997. As of September 30, 1997,
royalties of $53,500 had been credited against the advance
 
                                       4
<PAGE>
for products sold. Outdoors has also been granted a royalty-free license to use
the name "Larry A. Rasmusson" and the picture of Mr. Rasmusson in connection
with the advertising, merchandising, promotion, manufacture, sale and
distribution of certain Outdoors products.
 
    The Company is party to a product development incentive agreement with Mr.
Haase pursuant to which Mr. Haase, as licensor, granted the Company, as
licensee, the exclusive right to make, use and sell certain products and to
receive information and assistance from Mr. Haase to make, use and sell the
products. Following termination of his employment with the Company, Mr. Haase
will receive incentive payments equal to 4% of the net sales price of all
products subject to the agreement sold by the Company following Mr. Haase's
termination. Royalties continue for the life of the products. Mr. Haase was paid
$4,307 in royalties under this agreement in fiscal 1997.
 
    The Company and Outdoors have entered into a royalty sharing agreement with
Mr. Rasmusson and Mr. Haase pursuant to which Mr. Haase and Mr. Rasmusson will
share royalties on products that they jointly develop that are covered under the
exclusive license agreement and/or exclusive license and royalty agreement, with
respect to Mr. Rasmusson, and under the product development incentive agreement,
with respect to Mr. Haase. Upon Mr. Haase's termination of employment, 50% of
royalties on the products jointly developed by Mr. Haase and Mr. Rasmusson are
to be paid to Mr. Haase and 50% to Mr. Rasmusson. As noted above, during fiscal
1997, $1,801 was paid to each of Mr. Haase and Mr. Rasmusson pursuant this
agreement.
 
CONSULTING AGREEMENTS
 
    During fiscal 1996, the Company entered into consulting agreements with
Harley Haase, the Company's former chief executive officer, and Larry A.
Rasmusson, its current chief executive officer and chief financial officer,
whereby each would be paid an annual consulting fee in the amount of $150,000
for a period of five years commencing upon retirement. The agreement with Mr.
Haase was terminated effective June 13, 1997. Mr. Rasmusson's agreement
prohibits him from engaging in any activity that competes with either the
Company or Outdoors and provides that he shall not be required to provide
services for more than five days per month during the term of the agreement
without additional compensation. If Mr. Rasmusson voluntarily terminates his
employment with the Company prior to age 55 without good cause attributable to
the Company, the agreement will not be binding on the Company. For purposes of
this provision, a change in control (as defined) constitutes good cause
attributable to the Company. Effective October 1, 1997, the Company and Mr.
Rasmusson entered into an amendment to the consulting agreement which provides
that the term of the consulting agreement will be extended one full year for
each full or partial year that Rasmusson's term of employment is extended beyond
April 1, 1998. The annual consulting fees for the extended term of the
consulting agreement are $50,000 a year.
 
SPLIT DOLLAR INSURANCE
 
    The Company has adopted split dollar life insurance plans for the benefit of
its former chief executive officer, Harley Haase, and Larry A. Rasmusson, its
current chief executive officer and chief financial officer. Mr. Haase's split
dollar life insurance plan was terminated in September 1997 pursuant to the
terms of the Settlement Agreement. Under the terms of Mr. Rasmusson's plan, the
Company pays the annual premiums on a $1 million insurance policy (the "Policy")
on his life. The Policy is a whole life policy on which all premiums are paid by
the Company and income is imputed to the insured in an amount equal to the term
rate for his insurance as established by the insurer. The Policy is owned by Mr.
Rasmusson. The plan is designed so that the Company will recover all premium
payments, interest, and advances made by it on account of the Policy. The
Company's interest in the premium payments, interest, and advances made with
respect to the Policy is secured by a collateral assignment of the Policy. Upon
the death of Mr. Rasmusson, the Company will be reimbursed from the insurance
proceeds paid to the beneficiaries in an amount equal to the total premiums,
interest, and advances made by the Company with respect to the Policy. In the
event the Policy is surrendered for its cash surrender value at some date in the
future, the
 
                                       5
<PAGE>
Company will be reimbursed for the premiums it has paid on the Policy, plus
interest. Premiums paid in fiscal 1997, 1996 and 1995 on behalf of Mr. Haase
totaled $42,031, $45,755, and $45,467, respectively. Premiums paid in fiscal
1997, 1996, and 1995 on behalf of Mr. Rasmusson totaled $55,573, $45,898, and
$45,012, respectively.
 
EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN
 
    The Company has established an Employee Stock Ownership Plan and Trust (the
"Plan"). The Company advanced $150,000 to the Plan, which was used to purchase
225,000 shares of newly issued Common Stock from the Company at a price of $.67
per share. The loan is evidenced by a promissory note in the initial principal
amount of $150,000, bearing interest at 9% per annum. The note provides for
annual principal payments of $7,500, together with annual interest payments. In
accordance with legal requirements, as the loan is repaid, the shares are
allocated to participants in the Plan. The Company contributed approximately
$20,000 to the Plan for fiscal 1997. For fiscal 1997, 1996, and 1995, no shares,
2,588 shares, and 2,285 shares, respectively, were credited to the account of
Harley Haase, and 4,176 shares, 2,588 shares, and 2,285 shares, respectively,
were credited to the account of Larry Rasmusson.

ITEM 12.  CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
 
PURCHASE OF SHARES BY OFFICER
 
    Effective January 25, 1994, Harley Haase, a former officer and director of
the Company, exercised an option to purchase 90,000 shares of the Company's
Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $168,750. The purchase price was
paid by delivery of $8,750 in cash and a promissory note in the principal amount
of $160,000. The note provided that the principal be paid in five equal annual
installments, commencing in January 1995, together with all interest accrued and
unpaid as of the date of payment, and that interest be accrued at an annual rate
equal to the stated Applicable Federal Rate as in effect from time to time, each
change in the interest rate to become effective on the day the corresponding
change in the Federal rate becomes effective. Such rate was 6.38% as of
September 30, 1996. Mr. Haase pledged 70,200 shares of Common Stock previously
owned by him as security for the note. In connection with Mr. Haase's
termination of employment, $89,940 in principal and interest was paid effective
June 13, 1997 by the surrender by Mr. Haase of 70,200 shares of Common Stock in
full satisfaction of the note.
 
LIMITED PARTNERSHIP: PROJECT HEART
 
    In fiscal 1991, the Company invested $142,000 cash for a 30% limited
partnership interest in the Project Heart Limited Partnership, a Minnesota
limited partnership (the "Limited Partnership"). The Limited Partnership was
formed to pursue the development of a device to be used in connection with organ
transplants and organ transportation.
 
    The general partner of the Limited Partnership was LexTen, Inc., a Minnesota
corporation, of which Larry Rasmusson is the sole shareholder. LexTen held a
67.7% interest in the Limited Partnership. Larry Rasmusson is an officer and a
director of the Company and also is deemed to be the beneficial owner of
approximately 17.6% of the Common Stock of the Company. Harley Haase, then
president and a director of the Company, purchased a 1.2% limited partnership
interest in the Limited Partnership for $10,000 cash.
 
    In conjunction with the Limited Partnership, the Company entered into a
stock award agreement (the "Stock Award Agreement") with Larry Rasmusson,
pursuant to which the Company issued to Mr. Rasmusson 383,500 shares of its
Common Stock, held in an escrow account. These shares were to be released to Mr.
Rasmusson in various installments upon the reaching of defined milestones set
forth in the Stock Award Agreement. The Stock Award Agreement was amended by the
Board of Directors for the Company effective October 31, 1995 to extend the term
of the agreement from October 31, 1995 to October 31, 1998 in consideration of
Mr. Rasmusson's waiving, on his own behalf and on behalf of LexTen, Inc., the
right to receive any cash distribution from the Limited Partnership. Until the
termination of the Stock Award Agreement, Mr. Rasmusson was entitled to vote the
escrowed stock, including all shares not yet awarded to Mr. Rasmusson because
the milestones had not been reached.
 
    Effective September 30, 1997, the Limited Partnership was dissolved, all
remaining cash was distributed to the limited partners, and the shares subject
to the Stock Award Agreement were forfeited and returned to the Company. The
rights to the device, still in the conceptual stage, were transferred to LexTen,
Inc. Neither LexTen, Inc. nor Mr. Rasmusson received any cash as part of the
dissolution.
