PepsiCo acquired 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock, which was the

series of transactions in which PepsiCo obtained a royalty bearing license with
respect to certain technology owned by the Issuer.
On June 19, 1995, the United States District Court for the Southern
District of New York entered a Final Judgment in a class action lawsuit known as
AMERICAN BUSINESS COMPUTERS CORPORATION SECURITIES LITIGATION (MDL Docket No.
913) approving a Stipulation of Settlement and directing the parties thereto
(including PepsiCo) to consummate the settlement of such action in accordance
with the terms and provisions contained in the Stipulation of Settlement. In
accordance therewith, on October 10, 1995, PepsiCo delivered to the Issuer
1,000,000 shares of Common Stock held by PepsiCo. Additionally, as part of such
settlement, PepsiCo received from the Issuer on November 10, 1995 warrants to
purchase 500,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $3.50 per share
(the "Warrants").
PepsiCo currently intends to dispose of its remaining shares of Common
Stock through ordinary brokerage transactions effected by Morgan Stanley & Co.
Inc. on the open market.
