Dr. Landon has an employment agreement with the Company, extending through July
13, 2002. Pursuant to this agreement, Dr. Landon's base compensation is
$275,000 per year. The agreement provides for various additional incentive
compensation as determined by the Board of Directors based on a variety of
criteria related to the Company's performance.
On June 1, 1988 the Company and Dr. Landon agreed to consolidate the previous
loan facilities available to Dr. Landon into a single loan of $100,000. The
consolidated loan had a five year term with repayment of principal deferred for
three years. The loan bore interest at the six month certificate of deposit
rate paid by Signet Bank, Maryland, and the rate was adjusted quarterly. On
September 29, 1989, the Company agreed to increase the loan to $125,000. On
September 21, 1990, the Company agreed to increase the loan to $150,000. Under
Dr. Landon's employment agreement (as amended), the loan was to be repaid in
five installments of $30,000 plus interest within six weeks after the end of
each of the next five fiscal years beginning with fiscal year 1992.
On July 1, 1994, Dr. Landon made a payment of $2,745 on accrued interest. On
June 6, 1994, the Company agreed to defer Dr. Landon's third $30,000 repayment
and make the payment due as two $15,000 installments paid with the fourth and
fifth $30,000 repayments respectively. On October 11, 1995, the Company's
shareholders affirmatively voted to approve the purchase of Company's stock from
Dr. Landon at market value to fund repayment by Dr. Landon of the remainder of
the Company loan. In October of 1996, the Board of Directors affirmatively voted
to extend the due date of the loan, maintaining all other terms and conditions,
until October 31, 1998.
On October 28, 1998, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors agreed
to extend the repayment period of the Company loan to Dr. Landon from October
31, 1998 to April 30, 2000. In accordance with the shareholders prior approval
of the Company's plan to purchase shares of stock from Dr. Landon at market
value, the Company purchased, on a quarterly basis for six quarters, 9,000
shares of Company stock from Dr. Landon at market value. Any unpaid principal
balance and accrued interest was paid in cash at the end of the sixth quarter.
During fiscal year 1999, Dr. Landon made repayments totaling $57,094. During
fiscal year 2000, Dr. Landon repaid the balance ($32,906) of the note. The
largest amount owed by Dr. Landon during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2000 in
respect to his loan facilities was $32,906, excluding accrued interest of $753.
There was no addition to the loan during this fiscal year.

2000. As in prior years, representatives of Deloitte & Touche LLP will be
