     The functions of the Audit Committee include reviewing the independent
auditors, recommending to the Board of Directors the engagement and discharge of
independent auditors, reviewing with the independent auditors the plan and
results of auditing engagements, approving or ratifying each professional
service provided by independent auditors and estimated by management to cost
more than 10% of the previous year's audit fee, considering the range of audit
and non-audit fees, reviewing the scope and results of the Company's procedures
for internal auditing and the adequacy of internal accounting controls and
directing and supervising special investigations. The Audit Committee met once

of Directors in certain business transactions and affairs of the Company during

is also compensated for all committee meetings at a rate equal to one-half of
that set from time to time for Board meetings. Outside directors may also be

      with the Company, effective as of June 1, 1983 and as subsequently
      amended, providing for his employment as the President and Chief Executive
      Officer of the Company and as Chairman of the Executive Committee to serve

      which accrued interest as of August 1, 1986 (but not prior thereto) at the
      prime rate of interest. Such deferred compensation, including accrued

      other employee benefits to continue, as payment for certain consulting

to outstanding options, and there were five participants under the 1983 Plan.
The average per share exercise price of all such options was $.50. As of April

     The Company's 1988 Stock Option Plan, as amended and restated (the "1988
Plan"), approved by the shareholders at the annual meeting on June 14, 1988, and
amended by the shareholders at the annual meeting on July 20, 1993, authorizes
the issuance of 320,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock to salaried

1996, 182,000 shares under the 1988 Plan remained available for grants.

to whom options will be granted and the time or times when options become
exercisable. There were no individual grants made during the fiscal year ended
January 27, 1996.
