          Ironwood holds warrants for the purchase of an aggregate of 3,600,000
          shares of the Issuer's Common Stock (the "Warrants"). Exercise of the
          Warrants for 3,000,000 shares of Issuer's Common Stock is conditioned
          upon shareholder approval of an amendment to the Issuer's Articles of
          Incorporation to increase the authorized number of shares of the 
          Issuer's Common Stock to accommodate exercise of such Warrants. 
          Exercise of the Warrants for 600,000 shares of the Issuer's Common 
          Stock is not so conditioned but such Warrants cannot be presently 
          exercised because Issuer does not have adequate authorized but 
          unissued Common Stock.

* Mr. Berlanti is the sole manager of Ironwood and has the sole discretion to
make dispositions of Ironwood's funds. Ironwood is 93.5% owned by Quince
Associates, Ltd., a Maryland limited partnership ("Quince"), which is directly
and indirectly owned by entities that are owned by Mr. Berlanti and members of
his family and controlled by Mr. Berlanti.

In November, 1998, Ironwood acquired an aggregate of approximately 369.6 shares
of Issuer's Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock, convertible into
approximately 2,328,000 shares of Issuer's Common Stock. Ironwood is obligated
to hold the Convertible Preferred Stock until April 30, 2000 during which time
the Issuer may redeem the Convertible Preferred Stock if it is financially able
to do so.

During mid-1998, Trans-Pacific Stores, Ltd. ("TPS"), a Hawaiian corporation 
and a subsidiary of Quince, loaned John P. Casey ("Mr. Casey"), Chairman of 
the Board of Directors of Incomnet, an aggregate of approximately $2,820,000 
("TPS Loan"). Mr. Casey used the TPS Loan funds to acquire an aggregate of 
approximately 1,907,000 shares of Issuer's Common Stock (the "Casey Common 
Stock") and to purchase an option to buy approximately 1,600 shares of 
Issuer's Convertible Preferred Stock. The TPS Loan is secured by a pledge of 
certain assets of Mr. Casey, including certain proceeds from the sale, if 
any, of the Casey Common Stock. Ironwood and Mr. Berlanti specifically 
disclaim any beneficial ownership interest in the Casey Common Stock.

On November 4, 1998, Ironwood loaned Mr. Casey $2,124,790 ("Ironwood Loan"), to
purchase approximately 1,600 shares of Issuer's Convertible Preferred Stock (the
"Casey Preferred Stock"). The Casey Preferred Stock is pledged to Ironwood as
security for the Ironwood Loan under a Stock Pledge Agreement. Ironwood and Mr.
Berlanti specifically disclaim any beneficial ownership interest in the Casey
Preferred Stock.
