</TABLE>

     Richard W. Smith has been President and a director of the Corporation 
since its inception in September 1984.  Mr. Smith previously served as 
General Manager of PDW Computer Systems, Inc., which markets computer 
systems.

     James P. Buren has been Executive Vice President-Technology and a 
director of the Corporation since its inception in September 1984.  From 
1980 to 1984, Mr. Buren was President and sole shareholder of Buren & 
Company, Inc., a data processing consulting firm.

     John P. Snyder has been a director of the Corporation since November 
1984 and Secretary since 1985.  During the past five years, Mr. Snyder has 
served as President and Chairman of EPI Corporation, which currently operates 
20 nursing homes.

     John A. Brenzel, a director of the Corporation since November 1984, is a
business consultant.  From January 1991 until June 1994, Mr. Brenzel was 
President and Chief Executive Officer of Commonwealth Bank & Trust Company,
Middletown, Kentucky.  From 1984 to 1990, he was Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer of Shelby County Trust Bank, Shelbyville, Kentucky.

     Richard W. Smith and James P. Buren are the Corporation's two executive
officers.

     Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Corporation's executive
officers and directors and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of the
Corporation's Common Stock (collectively, "Reporting Persons") to file 
reports of ownership and changes in ownership of the Common Stock with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.  Reporting Persons are required by SEC
regulations to furnish the Corporation with copies of all Section 16(a) forms 
that they file.  Based solely on its review of the copies of such forms 
received or written representations from certain Reporting Persons that no 
Form 5s were required, the Corporation believes that during fiscal 1995, all 
the Reporting Persons complied with all applicable filing requirements, 
except that EPI Corporation, John P. Snyder, Max G. Baumgardner, J. Ben 
Cress, Robert H. Loeffler, Grace W. Wilkins, James E. Buchart and Henry 
Schumpf each filed a Form 4 report with respect to one transaction by EPI
Corporation in May 1995 after the Form 4 was due.  Mr. Buchart's Form 4 also
covered a transaction by him which would not otherwise have been reportable 
but for the transactions by EPI Corporation.

Director Compensation

     Under the 1988 Plan, nonemployee directors first elected after May 15, 
1989 are awarded options for 5,000 shares of Common Stock on the May 15th 
following election to the Board by the Corporation's shareholders, and each
nonemployee director in office on May 15, 1989 or May 15th of any succeeding 
year automatically receives an option for 1,000 shares of Common Stock.  The
exercise price for options granted to nonemployee directors is the fair 
market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant, and options for
approximately one-third of the shares become exercisable on May 15th of each 
of the first three years following grant.  Options granted to nonemployee 
directors have a term of ten years.

    In 1995, Mr. Brenzel and Mr. Snyder each received the annual grant of 
options for 1,000 shares of Common Stock.  The option exercise price was 
$0.63 per share.  No options were exercised in 1995.

    Other than the issuance of stock options, the Corporation did not pay its
directors for attendance at regularly scheduled board meetings in 1995.  The
Corporation has not determined its director compensation policy for 1996.

loan to assist the Corporation in financing the purchase of certain assets of
Societe Twinsys, SA, a French disaster recovery company.  The loan bears 
interest at an annual rate of 1.5% above the "prime rate" as published in The
Wall Street Journal.  The current interest rate is 9.75%.  The term of the 
loan is 90 days and has been renewed for additional 90-day terms through 
April 10, 1996.  In connection with the loan, the Corporation granted a 
second mortgage on its property located on Linn Station Road to EPI 
Corporation.  The preexisting first mortgage is held by a commercial bank.  
The Corporation also issued 30,000 shares of Common Stock to EPI Corporation 
when the loan was originally made in 1992, and has issued 2,000 shares of 
common stock per $100,000 outstanding principal balance of the loan upon each
renewal of the loan for an additional 90-day term.  John P. Snyder, a director
of the Corporation, is President, a director and the largest shareholder
of EPI Corporation.
