(1)  This column shows the hypothetical gains or "option spreads" of the options
     granted based on assumed annual compound stock appreciation rates of 5% and
     10% over the full  seven-year  term of the options.  The 5% and 10% assumed
     rates of  appreciation  are  mandated  by the rules of the  Securities  and
     Exchange  Commission  and  do  not  represent  the  Company's  estimate  or
     projection of future  Common Stock  prices.  The gains shown are net of the
     option  exercise  price,  but do not include  deductions for taxes or other
     expenses  associated  with the  exercise  of the  option or the sale of the
     underlying  shares.  The actual  gains,  if any,  on the  exercise of stock
     options  will depend on the future  performance  of the Common  Stock,  the
     option holder's  continued  employment  through the option period,  and the
     date on which the options are exercised.

(2)  Options  vest as of 9/48th of the option  shares after nine months from the
     vesting  commencement date and as to 1/48th of the option shares each month
     thereafter,  with full vesting  occurring on the fourth  anniversary of the
     vesting commencement date.

(3)  Options were granted at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of
     the Company's Common Stock.  Exercise price may be paid in cash, promissory
     note, by delivery of already-owned shares subject to certain conditions, or
     pursuant to a cashless exercise procedure under which the optionee provides
     irrevocable  instructions to a brokerage firm to sell the purchased  shares
     and to remit to the Company,  out of the sale proceeds,  an amount equal to
     the exercise price plus all applicable withholding taxes.

(4)  Option was granted under the 1996 Director option plan at an exercise price
     equal to the fair market value of the Company's Common Stock on the date of
     grant. Options vest as to 1/48th of the option shares each month, with full
     vesting  occurring on the fourth  anniversary  of the vesting  commencement
     date. These options expire ten years from the date of grant.

(5)  Option was granted under an agreement  between Mr. Braniff and the Company,
     whereby Mr. Braniff was to act as Interim Chief  Executive  Officer until a
     full-time Chief Executive  Officer was hired.  Options vest as to 1/12th of
     the  option  shares  each  month,   with  full  vesting  occurring  on  the
     anniversary of the vesting  commencement  date. Options are also subject to
     certain acceleration clauses.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

         Members of the Company's  Board of Directors  that are employees of the
Company  do not  receive  compensation  for their  services  as  directors.  The
Company's  1996  Director  Option Plan  provides that options will be granted to
non-employee directors of the Company pursuant to an automatic  nondiscretionary
grant  mechanism.  Upon joining the Board of  Directors,  each new  non-employee
director will  automatically  be granted an option to purchase  15,000 shares of
Common Stock and each  non-employee  director  will  subsequently  be granted an
additional  option to purchase 3,750 shares of Common Stock annually,  each such
option to be granted at the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of
grant.  The initial  option grant of 15,000  shares vests at a rate of 1/48th of
the shares per month  following  the date of grant,  and the  subsequent  option
grant of 3,750 shares vests at the end of four years.  In addition,  the Company
reimburses the reasonable travel expenses of the directors.


COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(a) OF THE EXCHANGE ACT

         Section  16(a)  of the  Exchange  Act of 1934  requires  the  Company's
executive  officers  and  directors,  and  persons  who own  more  than 10% of a
registered class of the Company's equity securities,  to file reports of initial
ownership and changes in ownership with the  Securities and Exchange  Commission
("SEC") and the National  Association  of  Securities  Dealers,  Inc.  Executive
officers,  directors and greater than ten percent  stockholders  are required by
SEC  regulation  to furnish the Company  with copies of all Section  16(a) forms
they file.  Based  solely on its review of the copies of such forms  received by
it, or written  representations  from  certain  reporting  persons,  the Company
believes  that during  fiscal 1997 all  executive  officers and directors of the
Company complied with all applicable filing requirements.


REPORT OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE

         The  following  is the  Report  of the  Compensation  Committee  of the
Company  describing the  compensation  policies and rationale  applicable to the
Company's  executive  officers  with  respect to the  compensation  paid to such
executive  officers  for the fiscal year ended June 30,  1997.  The  information
contained in the report shall not be deemed to be "soliciting material" or to be
"filed" with the Securities and Exchange  Commission nor shall such  information
be  incorporated by reference into any future filing under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,  except to
the extent that the Company specifically  incorporates it by reference into such
filing.

         General.  The  responsibilities  of the  Compensation  Committee are to
administer the Company's various  incentive plans,  including the Company's 1992
Stock  Option  Plan  and the  1996  Employee  Stock  Purchase  Plan,  and to set
compensation  policies  applicable  to the  Company's  executive  officers.  The
Committee's  fundamental  policy is to offer the  Company's  executive  officers
competitive  compensation  opportunities based upon overall Company performance,
their individual  contribution to the financial success of the Company and their
personal  performance.  It is the  Committee's  objective to have a  substantial
portion  of  each   officer's   compensation   contingent   upon  the  Company's
performance,   as  well  as  upon  such  officer's  own  level  of  performance.
Accordingly,  each executive  officer's  compensation  package  comprises  three
elements:  (i) base  salary,  which is  established  primarily  on the  basis of
individual   performance  and  market   considerations;   (ii)  annual  variable
performance  awards  payable in cash and tied to the  Company's  achievement  of
financial  performance  goals  and  the  executive's  contribution;   and  (iii)
long-term  stock-based  incentive  awards,  which  strengthen  the  mutuality of
interests between the executive officers and the stockholders.

         Base Salary.  Base salary is primarily  used by the Company as a device
to attract, motivate, reward and retain highly skilled executives. The Committee
reviewed and  approved  fiscal year 1997 base  salaries for the Chief  Executive
Officer and other  executive  officers at the beginning of the fiscal year. Base
salaries were  established by the Committee based on an executive  officer's job
responsibilities,  level of experience, individual performance,  contribution to
the  business,  the  Company's  financial  performance  for the  past  year  and
recommendations  from  management.  The  Committee  also took into  account  the
salaries for similar positions at comparable companies, based on each individual
Committee  member's  industry  experience.   In  reviewing  base  salaries,  the
Committee  focused  significantly on each executive  officer's

                                       11
<PAGE>

prior  performance  with the Company and expected  contribution to the Company's
future success.  In making base salary  decisions,  the Committee  exercised its
discretion and judgment using these factors.  No specific formula was applied to
determine the weight of each factor.

         Annual Incentive  Bonuses.  Each executive  officer's bonus is based on
qualitative  and  quantitative  factors.  Bonuses are  intended to motivate  and
reward  executive  officers  by  directly  linking  the  amount  of the bonus to
specific  Company-based   performance  targets.  Annual  incentive  bonuses  for
executive officers are intended to reflect the Committee's belief that a portion
of the  compensation  of each executive  officer  should be contingent  upon the
performance of the Company. To carry out this philosophy,  the Board reviews and
approves  the  financial   budget  for  the  fiscal  year.  The  Committee  then
establishes  target  bonuses for each  executive  officer as a percentage of the
officer's base salary. The executive officers,  must successfully  achieve these
performance targets,  which are submitted by management to the Committee for its
evaluation  and  approval at the  beginning  of the fiscal  year.  Company-based
performance goals are tied to different indicators of Company performance,  such
as the operating results of the Company.  The Committee evaluates the completion
of the  Company-based  performance  targets and  approves a  performance  rating
relative to the goals  completed.  This scoring is influenced by the Committee's
perception  of the  importance  of the various  corporate  goals.  The Committee
believes  that the bonus  arrangement  provides an  excellent  link  between the
Company's earnings performance and the incentives paid to executives.

         Stock Options.  The Committee provides the Company's executive officers
with long-term incentive  compensation through grants of stock options under the
Company's  1992 Stock Option Plan.  The  Committee  believes  that stock options
provide the Company's  executive  officers with the  opportunity to purchase and
maintain an equity  interest in the Company and to share in the  appreciation of
the value of the  Company's  Common  Stock.  The  Committee  believes that stock
options directly motivate an executive to maximize long-term  stockholder value.
The options also use vesting  periods that  encourage key executives to continue
in their employment with the Company.  All options granted to executive officers
to date have been granted at the fair market value of the Company's Common Stock
on the  date of  grant.  The  Committee  considers  the  grant  of  each  option
subjectively,  considering  factors  such as the  executive  officer's  relative
position and responsibilities  with the Company,  the individual  performance of
the  executive  officer  over the  previous  fiscal  year,  and the  anticipated
contribution  of the  executive  officer  to  the  attainment  of the  Company's
long-term strategic  performance goals. Stock options granted in prior years are
also taken into  consideration.  The  Committee  views stock option grants as an
important component of its long-term, performance-based compensation philosophy.

         CEO Salary. The compensation of Mr. Jepson,  Former President and Chief
Executive Officer of the Company,  consisted of base salary, an annual bonus and
incentive stock options.  The Board of Directors  periodically reviews the CEO's
base salary and bonus and revises his compensation  based on the Board's overall
evaluation of his performance toward the achievement of the Company's financial,
strategic and other goals, with consideration given to his length of service and
to  comparative   chief  executive   officer   compensation   information.   The
Compensation  Committee believes that the Company's success is dependent in part
upon the efforts of its Chief  Executive  Officer.  In fiscal 1997,  Mr.  Jepson
earned a base salary of $200,000 as set by the Compensation Committee and earned
a bonus of $105,000 which was based on the Company  achieving  certain levels of
operating profit and performance objectives.  Mr. Jepson also received an option
to purchase  114,000  shares of Common  Stock of the  Company  (with an exercise
price of 100% of market  value of the Common  Stock on the date of grant).  This
stock option grant was primarily based on the performance of the Company and Mr.
Jepson's  significant   contribution  to  that  performance  in  terms  of  both
leadership and strategic vision.

         Option  Repricing   Report.   In  May  1997,  all  employees  who  held
outstanding  options under the  Company's  stock  options  plans,  including all
executive  officers,  were given the  opportunity to reprice  outstanding  stock
options  to the then  current  market  price of $8.13 per  share in  return  for
changing  the vesting  start date of the option to a point six months  after the
original  start date.  The Company took this action to retain key employees at a
time of intense  competition for experienced  personnel.  There were no separate
analyses  of the impact of the  repricing  on the  overall  compensation  of the
executive officers or any other employees.

                                  PROPOSAL TWO

                     AMENDMENT TO THE 1992 STOCK OPTION PLAN


         On October  29,  1997,  the Board  amended  the 1992  Plan,  subject to
shareholder  approval,  to increase the number of shares authorized to be issued
thereunder  from  2,105,000 to  2,405,000.  As of October 31,  1997,  options to
purchase  1,527,559 shares were  outstanding  under the 1992 Plan, with exercise
prices ranging from $.70 to $16.25,  a weighted average exercise price of $5.12,
and  expiration  dates ranging from January 28, 2000 to October 1, 2007, and 193
persons were eligible to participate in the 1992 Plan.

         The Board of Directors now seeks shareholder  approval of the amendment
to the  Company's  1992 Plan to increase  the number of shares of the  Company's
Common Stock available for issuance thereunder by 300,000 shares from a total of
2,105,000  shares to a total of 2,405,000  shares.  An increase in the number of
shares reserved for issuance under the 1992 Plan is needed to enable the Company
to  continue to grant  options to  employees  in  accordance  with its  existing
compensation  policies.  Management of the Company  believes that the ability to
grant options to employees is essential to the Company's  ability to attract and
retain highly qualified employees.

         A summary  of the  principal  provisions  of the 1992 Plan is set forth
below:

         1992 Stock  Option  Plan.  The  Company's  1992 Stock  Option  Plan (as
amended,  the "1992  Plan") was adopted by the Board of  Directors in June 1992,
approved by the Company's stockholders in July 1992 and amended in June 1996. In
June 1996 and July 1996, the Board of Directors and the stockholders approved an
increase in the number of shares of Common Stock reserved under the 1992 Plan by
1,000,000  shares to  2,105,000  shares.  The 1992 Plan  provides  for grants of
incentive stock options, restricted stock and stock purchase rights to employees
(including officers and employee directors) and consultants of the Company.  The
purpose of the 1992 Plan is to attract and retain the best  available  personnel
to the Company and to encourage  stock  ownership by  employees,  officers,  and
consultants of the Company to give them a greater  personal stake in the success
of the Company.  The 1992 Plan is presently  being  administered by the Board of
Directors,  which  determines  optionees  and  the  terms  of  options  granted,
including  exercise  price,  number  of shares  subject  to the  option  and the
exercisability thereof.

         The terms of options  granted  under the Plan  generally may not exceed
ten years.  However,  the term of all incentive  stock options and  nonstatutory
stock  options  granted to an  optionee  who,  at the time of grant,  owns stock
representing more than 10% of the Company's  outstanding  capital stock, may not
exceed five years.  The vesting of all stock option  grants is determined by the
Board of  Directors.  Generally  options  granted  under  the 1992 Plan vest and
become exercisable  starting nine months after the date of grant, with 9/48th of
the  shares  subject  to the  option  becoming  exercisable  at that time and an
additional 1/48th of such shares subject to the option becoming exercisable each
month  thereafter.  No option may be  transferred  by the optionee other than by
will or the laws of descent or  distribution,  and each option may be exercised,
during the lifetime of the optionee,  only by such  optionee.  An optionee whose
relationship with the Company or any related  corporation  ceases for any reason
(other than by death or permanent and total  disability) may exercise options in
the 30-day period  following  such cessation  (unless such options  terminate or
expire  sooner by their terms) or in such longer  period as is determined by the
Board of Directors. In the event of a merger of the Company with or into another
corporation,  all  outstanding  options  may either be assumed or an  equivalent
option may be  substituted  by the surviving  entity or, if such options are not
assumed or  substituted,  such  options  shall  terminate  as of the date of the
closing of the merger.  The exercise  price of incentive  stock options  granted
under  the 1992  Plan  must be at least  equal to the fair  market  value of the
shares on the date of grant.  The exercise price of  nonstatutory  stock options
granted under the 1992 Plan is determined by the administrator.  With respect to
any participant who owns stock  possessing more than 10% of the voting rights of
the Company's outstanding capital stock, the exercise price of the any incentive
stock option or any  nonstatutory  stock option granted must equal at least 110%
of the fair market value on the grant date. The consideration for exercising any
incentive  stock  option or any  nonstatutory  stock option may consist of cash,
check, promissory note, delivery of already-

                                       15
<PAGE>

owned  shares of the  Company's  Common  Stock  subject to  certain  conditions,
delivery  of a properly  executed  exercise  notice  together  with  irrevocable
instructions  to a broker to promptly  deliver to the Company the amount of sale
or loan proceeds  required to pay the exercise  price, a reduction in the amount
of any Company  liability to an optionee,  or any  combination  of the foregoing
methods  of  payments  or such other  consideration  or method of payment to the
extent permitted under applicable law. No incentive stock options may be granted
to a participant,  which, when aggregated with all other incentive stock options
granted to such participant, would have an aggregate fair market value in excess
of $100,000 becoming exercisable in any calendar year.

         The affirmative votes of the holders of a majority of the shares of the
Company's  stock present or represented and voting at the Annual Meeting will be
required to approve this proposal. The Company's Board of Directors has approved
this proposal.
