formal agreement, will acquire from Infotech, Advanced and Questech all of the
Common and Preferred Shares owned by each of them in ACI representing
approximately 53.9% of all of ACI's issued and outstanding shares of Common 
Stock and approximately 59.9% of all of ACI's issued and outstanding shares of
Preferred Stock. In addition, the Company will acquire, directly from ACI, an
additional number of shares of Common Stock which, when added to the shares to
be acquired from Infotech, Advanced and Questech, will total approximately 67%
of all of ACI's issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock. Infotech,
