      <PAGE>


                   COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(a) OF THE EXCHANGE ACT

      Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the
      Company's officers and directors, and persons who own more than ten
      percent of its Common Stock, to file reports of ownership and changes
      of ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and
      each exchange [or market quotation system] on which the Company's
      securities are registered. Officers, directors and greater than
      ten-percent stockholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish
      the Company with copies of all ownership forms they file.

      Based solely on its review of the copies of such forms received by it,
      or written representations that no Form 5 was required, the Company
      believes that, during the year ended September 30, 1998, its officers,
      directors, and greater than ten-percent beneficial owners complied
      with all applicable filing requirements.

                                 EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTION PLANS

      The Company established its 1992 Stock Option Plan (the "1992 Plan")
      to enable the Company to recruit and retain selected officers and other
      employees by providing equity participation in the Company to such
      individuals. Under the 1992 Plan, regular salaried employees, including
      directors who are full time employees, may be granted options exercisable
      at not less than 100% of the fair market value of the Common Stock on
      the date of grant. The exercise price of any option granted to an
      optionee who owns stock possessing more than 10% of the voting power
      of all classes of stock of the Company must be 110% of the fair market
      value of the Common Stock on the date of grant and the duration of the
      options granted may not exceed five years. Prior to the existence of


    <PAGE>


      any public market for the Company's shares, the fair market value had
      been determined from time to time by the Board of Directors. Options
      generally become exercisable at a rate of 33% of the shares subject to
      an option one year after its grant. The remaining shares generally
      become exercisable over an additional 24 months. The duration of
      options may not exceed ten years. Options under the Plan are
      nonassignable, except in the case of death and may be exercised only
      while the optionee is employed by the Company, or in certain cases,
      within a specified period after termination of employment (within
      three months) or death (within twelve months). The purchase price
      and number of shares of Common Stock that may be purchased upon
      exercise of options are subject to adjustment in certain cases,
      including stock splits, recapitalizations and reorganizations.

      Under the 1992 Plan, the Company may grant qualified or non-qualified
      options for the purchase of up to 1,200,000 shares of Common Stock.
      At the year ended September 30, 1998, there were 490,399 shares reserved
      for exercise of options granted, of which 277,996 were exercisable,
      and 554,924 were available for grant under such Plan. The average
      price of options issued under the Plan is $1.15 per share. On January 8,
      1999 the Board of Directors granted 435,000 options to employees,
      officer and directors under the plan.

      Both the amount of options granted and to whom they are granted are
      determined by the Board of Directors with the recommendation of the
      Compensation Committee, at their discretion. There are no specific
      criteria, performance formulas or measures applicable to the
      determination of the amount of options to be granted and to whom
      such options are to be granted. For a fuller description of the 1992
      Plan, see ITEM 2, below.

     <PAGE>           


                                   NON PLAN STOCK OPTIONS

      Between February 1992 and July 1999, a total of 1,152,890 stock options
      were granted to directors, officers and consultants outside either the
      1982 or the 1992 Plans. The exercise prices of these non-plan stock
      options are at an average price of $1.50 per share which were equal
      to the fair market value of the Common Stock on the respective dates
      of grant, and they expire between 1996 and 2001. As of September 30,
      1998, 258,393 of these non-qualified stock options were exercised and
      799,026 were still outstanding.


                                SAVINGS AND RETIREMENT PLANS

      In July 1987 the Company instituted a Savings and Retirement Plan (the
      "S&R Plan"). Under the S&R Plan, every full-time salaried employee who
      is 18 years of age or older may contribute up to 15% of his or her
      annual salary to the S&R Plan. The Company will make a matching
      contribution of $.25 for every $1.00 of the employee's contribution for
      an employee contribution of up to but not exceeding 6 percent of the
      employee's annual salary. Company contributions are 100% vested after
      60 months of contributions to the S&R Plan. Benefits are payable under
      the S&R Plan upon termination of a participant's employment with the
      Company or at retirement. The S&R Plan meets the requirements of Section
      401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Internal Revenue Service regulations
      limit the percentage of tax-deferred contributions that can be made by
      higher-compensated participants. There are restrictions upon withdrawal
      of tax  deferred contributions, but participants are permitted to borrow
      against the value of their tax deferred accounts.
