(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.
