based on the Company's achievement of certain operating and financial goals. The
Board (or a committee of the Board) shall determine the amount of any bonus
pursuant to the agreement. Mr. Hennessey also received certain other
compensation allowances, as approved by the Board, equal to $16,949. Upon

(1)      The amounts shown on this table represent hypothetical gains that could
         be achieved for the respective options if exercised at the end of the
         option term. These gains are based on assumed rates of stock
         appreciation of 5% and 10%, compounded annually from the date the
         respective options were granted to their expiration date. The gains
         shown are net of the option exercise price, but do not include
         deductions for taxes or other expenses associated with the exercise.
         Actual gains, if any, on stock option exercises will depend on the
         future performance of the Common Stock, the optionholders' continued
         employment through the option period, and the date on which the options
         are exercised.

(2)      These non-qualified stock options were granted as part of the Company's
         stock options repricing program, which replaces previously, issued
         option grants that were forfeited under the terms of the repricing
         plan. The repriced options have a term of ten years and include a dual
         faceted vesting schedule based upon vested/unvested options at the date
         of repricing. The vesting period for repriced vested and unexcerised
         options commenced with the date of repricing. The Black-Scholes
         valuation model was used to determine the exercise price.

         reported by NASDAQ National Market. Value is calculated on the basis of
         the difference between the Option/SAR grant price and $4.5625
         multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the

GRAPH ON PAGE 6 SHALL NOT BE INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE INTO ANY SUCH FILINGS.

              REPORT OF THE STOCK OPTION AND COMPENSATION COMMITTEE

         The Stock Option and Compensation Committee of the Board of
Directors (the "Compensation Committee") of the Company consists of Messrs.
Rauscher and Levy and Dr. Riedel, Committee Chairman. The Committee's
responsibilities include recommending to the Board of Directors the
compensation of the Company's executive officers, administering the Company's
stock option plans and approving the grant of stock options to employees of,
and consultants to, the Company. No member of the Committee was an officer or
employee of the Company during the year ended August 31, 1999.

         The Company's executive compensation programs reflect input and
recommendations from the Company's Chief Executive Officer. The Compensation
Committee reviews his proposals concerning executive compensation and makes a
recommendation to the Board of Directors concerning the scope and nature of
compensation arrangements. It is the Company's current policy to establish,
structure and administer compensation plans and arrangements so that the
deductibility to the Company of such compensation will not be limited under
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").
<PAGE>

COMPENSATION OF CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

         The Company and Mr. Hennessey are parties to an employment agreement.
During the year ended August 31, 1999 Mr. Hennessey received a salary of
$290,000 and compensation allowances of $16,949 under the agreement. Pursuant to
the agreement, in March 1993 and March 1996, Mr. Hennessey was granted an option
to purchase up to 1,600,000 and 300,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock
respectively. See "Executive Compensation - Executive Employment Agreements."
Mr. Hennessey's continues to have rights to 1,530,000 outstanding options, and
is a shareholder in the Company. Effective in 1999, the Company changed Mr.
Hennessey's annual performance review date to September, to coincide with the
Company's fiscal year period.

         Under Mr. Hennessey's employment with the Company, Mr. Hennessey
receives an annual adjustment to the base salary equal to the CPI. The overall
base salary adjustment for the fiscal year also includes pro rated merit to
reflect change in review date. Mr. Hennessey's change in fiscal year base
compensation was influenced primarily by the Company's performance over the
fiscal year period and his overall performance in achieving certain predefined
business objectives.

OFFICERS COMPENSATION

         The Company maintains compensation and incentive programs designed to
motivate, retain, and attract key management talent. The compensation levels
provided for the Company's executive officers reflect incumbent performance and
future potential, appropriate benchmark survey data, and company performance and
financial position.

         The Chief Executive Officer determines the compensation of executive
officers by taking into consideration the above factors. The Chief Executive
Officer provides recommendations to the Stock Option and Compensation Committee
for the proposed remuneration of the Company's officers based on achievement of
both individual and company performance.

         Officer compensation is generally composed of cash compensation and
option grants. The Company promotes the use of stock options to align the
interests of its employees with those of the Company's shareholders. Options
generally vest over a period of years. Factors considered in making option
awards include the officer's option holdings, competitive position, importance
to the Company, performance, and future potential to the Company.

OTHER MATTERS

         As part of the Company's ongoing effort to retain its employees and in
light of intense competition for qualified individuals, the Stock Option and
Compensation Committee, at the Direction of the Board of Directors, approved a
one time stock option repricing program in November 1998. The program was
offered to all employees with the exception of the Chief Executive Officer. The
terms and conditions of the program included forfeitures, a renewed vesting
period, and a strike price based upon the Black-Scholes valuation model.
