<PAGE>



      Attached to this  Amendment No. 2 as Schedule A is a list of the executive
officers and directors of Parent, Abaco, Holdings and Acquisition Sub (including
the  name,   principal   business  and  address  of  any  corporation  or  other
organization   with  which  such   individual  is  employed,   and  his  or  her
citizenship).

      (d-e)  During the last five  years,  neither  Parent,  Abaco,  Holdings or
Acquisition Sub nor, to the knowledge of Parent, Abaco, Holdings and Acquisition
Sub, any of the executive  officers or directors of any of such entities (i) has
been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar
misdemeanors)  or  (ii)  was a party  to a civil  proceeding  of a  judicial  or
administrative  body  of  competent  jurisdiction  and,  as  a  result  of  such
proceeding,  was or is subject to a judgment,  decree or final  order  enjoining
future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal
or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.


ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

      Abaco  currently  owns  4,625,788  issued  and  outstanding  shares of the
Company's  Common Stock,  which  represents  69.6% of the issued and outstanding
shares  of  Common  Stock,  and all of the  issued  and  outstanding  shares  of
Preferred  Stock,  consisting  of 50 issued and  outstanding  shares of Series B
Non-Voting  Convertible Preferred Stock, $.01 par value per share (the "Series B
Stock"),  50 issued and  outstanding  shares of Series C Non-Voting  Convertible
Preferred Stock, $.01 par value per share (the "Series C Stock"),  45 issued and
outstanding shares of Series D Non-Voting  Convertible Preferred Stock, $.01 par
value per share (the "Series D Stock") and 30 issued and  outstanding  shares of
Series E Non-Voting  Convertible  Preferred Stock, $.01 par value per share (the
"Series E Stock," and,  together with the Series B Stock, the Series C Stock and
Series D Stock, the "Preferred Stock").

     Abaco intends to contribute to the capital of Holdings all of the shares of
Common Stock and  Preferred  Stock owned by it.  Holdings,  in turn,  intends to
contribute  such  shares to the  capital of  Acquisition  Sub.  Acquisition  Sub
intends to obtain at least 90% of the issued  and  outstanding  shares of Common
Stock  ("90%  Ownership")  by  converting  12 shares of the  Series E Stock into
approximately  13,333,333  shares of Common Stock in  accordance  with the terms
applicable to the Series E Stock.  A copy of the  Certificate  of  Designations,
Rights,  Preferences,  Privileges  and  Restrictions  of the  Series  E Stock is
attached as Annex 3 to the Notice and  Information  Statement  filed on
Schedule 14C, which is incorporated herein by reference as Exhibit 12. Following
this conversion, Acquisition Sub will hold approximately 89.9% of the issued and
outstanding shares of Common Stock. Since the Company does not have a sufficient
number of  shares  of  Common  Stock  currently  authorized  under its  Restated
Certificate of Incorporation,  as amended (the "Certificate of  Incorporation"),
to permit the full  conversion  of Series E Stock into shares of Common Stock in
accordance  with the terms  applicable  to the Series E Stock,  Acquisition  Sub
intends to purchase at least 22,101 shares of Common Stock in the open market at
prevailing  prices in order to obtain at least 90%  Ownership.  The  amount  and
timing of any of such open market  purchases  will depend on market  conditions,
share prices and other factors.  If  Acquisition  Sub is successful in obtaining
90% Ownership through the purchase of shares of Common Stock in the open market,
it will proceed to effect the Merger (as defined  herein) as described  below in
Item 4.

      If Acquisition  Sub is not  successful in obtaining 90% Ownership  through
the  purchase  of shares of Common  Stock in the open  market,  Acquisition  Sub
intends to enforce its rights under the


<PAGE>



terms  applicable  to the Series E Stock and  require  the  Company to amend the
Certificate  of  Incorporation  to increase the number of  authorized  shares of
Common Stock to permit the  conversion  of  additional  shares of Series E Stock
into shares of Common Stock.  Such amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation
would require the approval of the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") and
stockholders.  Acquisition Sub believes that it would be able to obtain approval
of the Board since the Board  previously  approved  the issuance of the Series E
Stock which, by its terms,  obligates that Company to reserve  sufficient shares
of Common  Stock to provide  for the  conversion  of all issued and  outstanding
shares of Series E Stock.  Since  Acquisition Sub will hold more than 50% of the
issued and  outstanding  shares of Common Stock,  stockholder  approval would be
assured.

      The funds to be used for the  Merger  Consideration  (as  defined  herein)
(approximately  $600,000) and to pay certain  costs and expenses  related to the
Merger will be paid by Abaco or affiliated  companies from its or their existing
funds,  including  working  capital  and  resources  or loaned by them from such
resources to Acquisition Sub to enable it, or, after the Merger,  the Company to
make such payments.


ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

      The  purpose  of  the  Transactions  (as  defined  herein)  is  to  enable
Acquisition Sub to acquire complete  ownership of all of the equity interests of
the Company. Abaco currently own 4,625,788 shares of the Company's Common Stock,
which represents 69.6% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, and
all of the issued and outstanding  shares of Preferred  Stock.  Abaco intends to
contribute  to the  capital of  Holdings  all of the shares of Common  Stock and
Preferred  Stock owned by it.  Holdings,  in turn,  intends to  contribute  such
shares to the capital of Acquisition Sub.

      Acquisition  Sub intends to acquire 90% Ownership and thereafter to effect
a short-form  merger (the "Merger") of Acquisition Sub into the Company pursuant
to Section 253 of the  General  Corporation  Law of the State of  Delaware  (the
"DGCL"). Acquisition Sub intends to obtain 90% Ownership by converting 12 shares
of the Series E Stock held by it into approximately  13,333,333 shares of Common
Stock in accordance with the terms  applicable to the Series E Stock.  Following
this conversion, Acquisition Sub will hold approximately 89.9% of the issued and
outstanding shares of Common Stock. Since the Company does not have a sufficient
number of shares of Common Stock currently  authorized  under its Certificate of
Incorporation  to permit the full  conversion of  additional  shares of Series E
Stock into shares of Common Stock in accordance with the terms applicable to the
Series E Stock,  Acquisition  Sub intends to purchase at least 22,101 shares
of Common Stock in the open market at  prevailing  prices in order to obtain 90%
Ownership.  The  amount  and timing of any of such open  market  purchases  will
depend on market conditions,  share prices and other factors. If Acquisition Sub
is  successful  in  obtaining  90%  Ownership  through the purchase of shares of
Common  Stock in the open  market,  it will  proceed  to  effect  the  Merger as
described herein.

      If Acquisition  Sub is not  successful in obtaining 90% Ownership  through
the  purchase  of shares of Common  Stock in the open  market,  Acquisition  Sub
intends to enforce its rights under the terms  applicable  to the Series E Stock
and require the Company to amend the  Certificate of  Incorporation  to increase
the number of  authorized  shares of Common  Stock to permit the  conversion  of
additional shares of Series E Stock into shares of Common Stock. Such amendment


<PAGE>



to the Certificate of Incorporation  would require the approval of the Company's
Board and stockholders. Acquisition Sub believes that it would be able to obtain
approval of the Board since the Board  previously  approved  the issuance of the
Series E Stock which, by its terms, obligates that Company to reserve sufficient
shares  of  Common  Stock  to  provide  for the  conversion  of all  issued  and
outstanding  shares of Series E Stock. Since Acquisition Sub will hold more than
50% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock,  stockholder  approval
would be assured.

     Promptly following the obtaining of 90% Ownership,  Acquisition Sub intends
to effect the Merger by filing the  Certificate  of  Ownership  and Merger  (the
"Certificate  of Merger"),  with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware
(the date of such filing being hereinafter  called the "Effective Date"). A copy
of the form of  Certificate  of Merger is  attached as Annex 1 to the Notice and
Information  Statement filed on  Schedule  14C,  which is  incorporated
herein by reference as Exhibit 12.

      On the Effective  Date,  Acquisition  Sub will be merged into the Company,
with the Company as the  surviving  corporation  and each share of Common  Stock
issued and  outstanding  prior to the Merger,  other than issued and outstanding
shares of Common Stock held by Acquisition Sub (the "Unaffiliated Shares") will,
by virtue of the Merger,  be converted into the right to receive $ 0.30 in cash,
without interest (the "Merger Consideration"),  subject to the rights of holders
of   Unaffiliated   Shares  (the   "Unaffiliated   Stockholders")   ("Dissenting
Stockholders")  to perfect  dissenters'  rights in accordance  with Delaware law
("Dissenters' Rights"). On the Effective Date, the issued and outstanding shares
of  Common  Stock  of  Acquisition  Sub will be  cancelled  and the  issued  and
outstanding  shares of capital stock of Acquisition Sub held by Holdings will be
converted into an aggregate of 50,000 shares of Common Stock. Accordingly, after
the Merger,  all of the issued and  outstanding  shares of Common  Stock will be
owned by  Holdings.  As a result of the  Transactions,  it is expected  that the
Company will take steps to have the Common Stock  delisted on the New York Stock
Exchange and to deregister the Common Stock under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934,  as  amended  (the   "Exchange   Act").   Following   such  delisting  and
deregistration,  the  Company  will  no  longer  be  subject  to  the  reporting
requirements of the NYSE or the Exchange Act.

      The conversion of the shares of Series E Stock, the purchase of issued and
outstanding  shares of Common  Stock in the open  market,  the  amendment of the
Certificate  of  Incorporation  (if  required)  and the Merger  are  hereinafter
collectively referred to as the "Transactions."

      Following the  Transactions,  Abaco will consider various ways in which to
assist the Company in implementing  its strategic  plans to reduce costs.  Abaco
may  consolidate  the  operations  of  the  Company  or  its  subsidiaries  with
affiliated  companies of Abaco,  including Abaco  International  Corporation,  a
wholly-owned  subsidiary of Abaco ("AIC").  Until the third quarter of 1996, AIC
was a  broker-dealer  registered  with the National  Association  of  Securities
Dealers, Inc., based in New York, New York. Other than the foregoing,  Abaco has
no  current  plans or  proposals  that  would  relate  to,  or  result  in,  any
extraordinary   corporate   transaction   involving   the   Company   after  the
Transactions,  such as  merger,  reorganization  or  liquidation  involving  the
Company or any of its  subsidiaries,  a sale or transfer of a material amount of
assets of the Company or any of its  subsidiaries,  or any other material change
in the Company's business, corporate structure,  personnel or policies regarding
the  payment  of  dividends.  While  Abaco  does not have  any  further  present
intention  to sell or transfer  any  material  amount of assets of the  Company,
Abaco's plans may change at any time, and Abaco may in the future elect to cause
the Company to sell,  transfer or otherwise dispose of all or any portion of the
assets of the  Company to Abaco or any one or more of its  affiliates  or to any
other parties as warranted by future conditions. Abaco may also, as warranted in
light of future conditions, cause changes to the Company's dividend policy,


<PAGE>



indebtedness  or  capitalization,  including  the payment of dividends  and
repayment of indebtedness to affiliates.

      Pursuant  to the terms of the  Certificate  of  Merger,  the Bylaws of the
Company will be replaced with the bylaws of  Acquisition  Sub. As a result,  the
classification and required composition of the Board will be eliminated.

      Following  the  Merger,  it is  expected  that only the  directors  of the
Company  affiliated with Abaco  immediately prior to the Merger will continue to
serve as directors of the Company. The officers of the Company immediately prior
to the Merger will be the officers of the Company.

     The foregoing  summary of the  Transactions is qualified in its entirety by
reference to the copy of the Notice and Information  Statement filed on Schedule
14C and Schedule 13e-3 Transaction  Statement,  which are incorporated herein by
reference as Exhibits 12 and 13, respectively.


ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

      (a) As of February 4, 1997, Abaco  beneficially  owned an aggregate amount
of 4,625,788  shares of Common  Stock.  Based upon the most  recently  available
filing by the Company with the Commission,  an aggregate of 6,645,802  shares of
Common Stock are presently  outstanding.  Accordingly,  Abaco  beneficially owns
approximately 69.6% of the outstanding Common Stock.

      Due to its  direct  ownership  of  Abaco,  Parent  beneficially  owns such
shares.

      With  regard to each  executive  officer and  director  of Parent,  Abaco,
Holdings and Acquisition Sub, no Common Stock is held by such individuals.

      (b) Abaco has the power to vote and the power to dispose of the  aggregate
number of shares of Common Stock  reported  herein as  beneficially  owned by it
and, due to its direct  ownership of Abaco,  Parent has the power to cause Abaco
to exercise or refrain from exercising such power.

      (c-e) Disclosure under these items is not applicable.


ITEM 6. CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT TO
        SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

      See Item 4.
