ITEM 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings, or Relationships with Respect
        to Securities of the Issuer.

250,000 of the Shares are issuable pursuant to Warrants for the Purchase of
Shares of Common Stock acquired by the Partnership on October 14, 1996. Such
warrants are presently exercisable at an exercise price of .58594 per share,
subject to adjustment for certain dilutive events, and are evidenced by a
Warrant Certificate dated October 9, 1996. These warrants expire on May 26,
1999.

Effective as of January 24, 1997, ACR and the Partnership entered into a
financing arrangement pursuant to which ACR agreed to issue additional warrants
and the Convertible Note in exchange for $1,400,280 (the "Financing"). The terms
and conditions of the Financing are governed by that certain Agreement of
Purchase and Sale dated January 24, 1997 by and between ACR and the Partnership.
The Financing closed on January 27, 1997.

280,000 of the Shares are issuable pursuant to Warrants for the Purchase of
Shares of Common Stock issued to the Partnership in connection with the
Financing. Such warrants are presently exercisable at a price of $1.625 per
share, subject to adjustment for certain dilutive events, and are evidenced by a
Warrant Certificate dated January 24, 1997. These warrants expire on January 24,
2002.

Up to 593,055 of the Shares shall be issuable upon conversion of the Convertible
Note within the next sixty (60) days. The Convertible Note bears interest at a
rate of ten percent (10%) per annum and may be converted by the Partnership at
any time. ACR has the right to require conversion of the Convertible Note if the
market price for a share of Common Stock as of the last trade of each of twenty
(20) consecutive trading days is $3.25 or more.

Additionally, on January 24, 1997, ACR and the Partnership executed a
Registration Rights Agreement pursuant to which ACR granted to the Partnership
certain demand and piggy-back registration rights with respect to the Shares
that are issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Note and upon exercise of
the warrants issued in connection with the Financing (the "Registration Rights
Agreement"). The Registration Rights Agreement contains standard standstill and
indemnification provisions and contains a provision providing for the amendment
of the Registration Rights Agreement to incorporate the terms of any more
favorable registration rights granted to a third party by ACR.

SJCC and the limited partners of the Partnership are entitled to profits and
losses resulting from any disposition of the Shares in accordance with the
provisions of the Partnership Agreement. Except as set forth above, no contract,
agreement, understanding or relationship relates to the transfer or voting of
any security, finder's fee, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or
calls, guarantees of profits, divisions of profits or loss, or the giving or
withholding of proxies.
