</TABLE>


(1)   Effective April 1, 1996, the Compensation Committee of the Board of
      Directors set Mr. Santry's annual base salary at $350,000.  Mr. Santry is
      also entitled to receive bonus compensation up to $125,000 upon the
      achievement of certain financial objectives for the 1997 fiscal year.

(2)   Mr. Bijou was paid $150,000, $125,000 and $175,000 in bonus compensation
      in fiscal 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively, pursuant to the achievement
      of certain operating results at ATC for the 1995, 1994 and 1993 calendar
      years.

(3)   In 1994 Mr. Bijou was granted fully vested options to purchase 10% of the
      common stock of Advanced Telemarketing Corporation at an option price of
      $.01 per share.  In management's opinion, the option price approximated
      the fair market value of the stock at the date of grant.  With such grant
      Mr. Bijou held fully vested options to purchase 15% of the common stock
      of Advanced Telemarketing Corporation.  In March 1995, Mr. Bijou
      surrendered such options in exchange for stock options to purchase a
      total of 2,410,880 shares of the Company's Common Stock at $0.8125 per
      share, the market price at the date of grant.  The options granted became
      fully exercisable on August 1, 1995 and are exercisable for ten years
      from the date of grant.

(4)   Mr. Marinaro's compensation is derived from commissions earned on
      revenues at Advanced Telemarketing Corporation.  Mr. Marinaro serves as
      an account representative for Advanced Telemarketing Corporation's
      largest customer.  His compensation is derived from commissions earned on
      revenues generated by such customer.  Because Mr. Marinaro is not an
      officer or director of the



                                     Page 4
<PAGE>   5
      Company and therefore does not participate in policy making decisions for
      the Company, the Company disclaims that Mr. Marinaro is an "executive
      officer" of the Company.

(5)   In February 1993 the Company's shareholders approved the the Company's
      1992 Stock Option Plan (the "1992 Plan") to grant options to purchase up
      to 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock to key employees, officers, and
      directors of the Company and its subsidiaries.  Options may be granted at
      any time prior to December 11, 2002.  In 1996, Mr. Santry was granted
      950,000 options to purchase shares at the market price on the date of
      grant pursuant to the 1992 Plan.  To date no options have been granted
      pursuant to the 1992 Plan to other executive officers named in the table
      above.  In March 1995, the Company's Board of Directors approved the
      Company's 1995 Stock Option Plan (the "1995 Plan") to grant options to
      purchase up to 2,410,880 shares of Common Stock to key employees of the
      Company and its subsidiaries.  Options to purchase all 2,410,880 shares
      were then granted to Mr. Bijou.  See also Note 3 above.

    Advanced Telemarketing Corporation and Thomas Bijou are parties to an
employment agreement which provides for an employment term through December
31,1997 at an annual base salary of $262,500.  The employment agreement also
contains confidentiality and non-competition provisions.
