STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

     The Company has a 1989 Incentive Stock Option Plan and 1993 and 1995
Stock Option Plans ("the Plans") for its key employees, directors and
consultants to purchase shares of the Company's Common Stock.  The Plans

                                -3-<PAGE>
provide that the purchase price of the shares covered by incentive stock
options may not be less than the fair market value of the shares on the date
the option was granted.  Nonstatutory stock options granted can be granted
at exercise prices of 85% or more of the fair market value of the Company's
Common Stock on the date of grant.  To date, all options granted under the
Plans have been at exercise prices equal to the fair market value of the
Common Stock on the date the Company agreed to grant the options.

     The Company has, from time to time, also provided nonstatutory stock
options outside of the Plans to directors, officers and consultants and has
awarded stock grants to officers, directors, employees and consultants in
consideration for services.  These nonstatutory options generally have had a
term of three to five years and have had exercise prices equal to the fair
market value of the Company's Common Stock on the date the options were
granted.  At November 30, 1998, the Company had an aggregate of 859,584
shares reserved for issuance pursuant to outstanding stock options under the
Plans.

DIRECTORS' REPORT.  On August 25, 1997 and May 27, 1998, the Board of
Directors unanimously approved repricing of most outstanding stock options
held by current employees and directors of the Company (a total of 348,714
and 445,380 shares, respectively), including 120,000 and 40,000 shares,
respectively, subject to options held by Daniel J. Kelly.  It was the Board
of Directors' opinion that the repricing of these options was appropriate in
view of the Company's inability to provide adequate cash compensation,
particularly to its officers and directors, due to the Company's lack of
working capital.


     The following table shows option grants during fiscal 1998 to the named
executive officer of the Company.  Reference is also made to the information
included above under "Compensation."

                 Options Granted   Percent of Total    Exercise    Expiration

<F1> These options represent the repricing during fiscal 1998 of previously
     granted options.  The 40,000 share option represents a repricing on May
     27, 1998 of one-third of the 120,000 share option which was repriced on
     August 25, 1997.

     The following table shows the number of options exercised during fiscal
1998 and the 1998 fiscal year-end value of the options held at the end of
the fiscal year by the named executive officer.

Item 12.  CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

     During the fourth quarter of calendar 1997, the Company completed a
series of transactions with HALIS; two officers and directors of HALIS;
MERAD Corporation, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Paul Harrison
Enterprises, Inc., an affiliate of HALIS; and several shareholders of HALIS
in which these parties exchanged 1,100,000 of their shares of HALIS common
stock for 880,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock and PHE was granted
an option to acquire 320,000 additional shares of the Company's Common Stock
in exchange for 400,000 additional shares of HALIS common stock, the
exchange ratio being based on the market value for each company's common
stock at the time that the transaction was negotiated; and HALIS acquired
83,333 shares of the Company's Common Stock for a purchase price of
$125,000.  These transactions followed the execution, during August 1997, by
the Company and HALIS of a letter of intent which contemplated a merger of
the two companies.  In furtherance of the business collaboration with HALIS
and to assist the Company in maintaining a minimum net worth of $2,000,000
as required by The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. for companies whose stock is
listed on Nasdaq, during February 1998, the PHE option was exercised by PHE
and its assigns and PHE exchanged an additional 1,262,000 shares of HALIS
common stock for 378,600 shares of the Company's Common Stock.  The exchange
ratio for the  shares exchanged in February was based on the market value
for each  company's common stock at the time that the exchange was
negotiated.

     Following discussions, HALIS and the Company determined that it
would be preferable for the two companies, at that time, to adopt a
shared business development strategy, but for each to remain a
separate company. To implement this strategy, the Company and HALIS
entered into a business collaboration agreement whereby the Company
and HALIS share sales prospects and the Company agreed to develop
technology and an integration database engine designed to monitor,
capture and manage medical information at the point of care.

     In addition, the Company obtained a non-exclusive license from
MERAD to certain artificial intelligence computer software and a
multimedia database utility, and retained MERAD to develop proprietary
software technology which will be used to expand the Company's product
offerings to include products and services specifically focused on
monitoring, capturing and managing medical information at the point of
care.  MERAD was to be paid $15,000 per month for 24 months to develop
the software and was to be paid a royalty of from 5% to 1% of the
gross proceeds the Company derives from the sale of the software.


                                -6-
<PAGE>
     Effective October 10, 1997, PHE and Paul W. Harrison entered into
a consulting agreement with the Company which expires on December 31,
1998.  The agreement provides for, among other things, the payment to
PHE commencing on January 1, 1998 of $15,000 per month, the granting
of a seven-year nonstatutory stock option to Mr. Harrison representing
the right to acquire up to 150,000 shares of the Company's Common
Stock at $2.65625 (repriced to $.66 per share on May 27, 1998) per
share, the then fair market value for the Company's Common Stock, and
to loan to Mr. Harrison up to $200,000 payable in four equal annual
installments and bearing interest at 7% per annum.  As of the date of
this report, $0 had been borrowed pursuant to the loan commitment.

     During the second quarter of fiscal 1999, the Company acquired
all of the outstanding shares of PHE, including the shares owned by
Mr. Harrison, in exchange for an aggregate of 334,443 shares of the
Company's Series P Preferred Stock which, subject to approval of the
Company's shareholders, will be convertible into 3,344,320 shares of
the Company's Common Stock.  For additional information regarding this
transaction, see the Company's Current Report (Form 8-K) dated October
7, 1998 filed with the Commission.

     Effective October 10, 1997, Larry Fisher entered into a
consulting agreement with the Company which expires on December 31,
1998.  The agreement provides, among other things, for the grant of a
seven-year nonstatutory stock option representing the right to acquire
80,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at $2.65625(repriced to
$.66 per share on May 27, 1998) per share, the then fair market value
for the Company's Common Stock.

     On December 18, 1996, Daniel J. Kelly entered into an employment
agreement with the Company pursuant to which he is to be paid $150,000
per annum, is eligible for a bonus of up to one-third of his base
salary and received an option to purchase 120,000 shares of the
Company's Common Stock.  The Agreement provides for a severance
payment equal to five months salary if his employment is terminated
before December 31, 2000.

     On January 22, 1998, Paul W. Harrison, Larry Fisher and Lindley
S. Branson (a former officer and director of the Company) each loaned
the Company $17,000 for a period of 90 days.  The loans paid interest
at 7% per annum.  As additional compensation for making the loans,
each was granted a warrant to acquire 16,666 shares of the Company's
Common Stock at $1.71875 per share, the fair market value for the
Company's Common Stock on January 22, 1998.  These loans were repaid
in fiscal 1998.  In addition, during January 1998, a $35,000 loan
which Mr. Branson made during the fourth quarter of calendar 1997 was
paid by the issuance to Mr. Branson of 20,000 shares of the Company's Common
Stock.
