OPTIONS/EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

         No stock options were exercised by the Company's Chief Executive
Officer in fiscal year 1995, and during the fiscal year no stock options were
granted to the Chief Executive Officer and no options were held by him at
fiscal year end.

REPORT OF THE BOARD/EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

         Executive Officers.  The annual compensation of the Company's
executive officers, other than Mr. McKinniss, is recommended by the President
and reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors.  The salary
recommendations are based on the President's perspective of the value of that
position at the Company, the executive's individual performance, the Company
performance and compensation for similar positions at other companies within
the industry.  The Company believes that compensation of the Company's
executive officers should be sufficient to attract and retain highly qualified
personnel and should also provide meaningful incentives for superior
performance.  The Company seeks to reward achievement of long and short-term
performance goals measured by successful development of new products, increases
in sales volumes, meeting or exceeding financial targets established by the
Board of Directors, and other factors.  The Company's executive compensation
generally consists of a base salary and a cash bonus.  The Board of Directors
may also issue stock options pursuant to the Company's Stock Option Plan as
additional long-term incentive compensation to its key executives.  Options to
purchase 40,000 shares were granted in fiscal 1995.  Annual cash bonuses
granted to the Company's executives, other than for Mr. McKinniss and Mr.
Russell, are discretionary and are based on evaluation of job performance and
the attainment of various goals.  The Company currently provides no retirement
benefits to its executive officers.

         Chief Executive Officer.  The Company's Board of Directors meets once
each year, separately from Sherman McKinniss, to discuss compensation
arrangements for Mr. McKinniss, Chairman, President and CEO, and the employment
contract with him (see "Employment Agreements").  The base salary and bonus
paid to Mr. McKinniss is determined within the guidelines of his employment
agreement, which establishes a base salary and a minimum annual increase tied
to the cost of living.  The Board of Directors may approve of a base salary in
excess of that required by the contractual cost of living increase based on the
Board's determination of Mr. McKinniss' performance and contribution using a
similar process and philosophy as that employed for other executive officers.
The Board of Directors assess Mr. McKinniss' leadership, performance and
contributions towards achieving the Company's long-term strategic and financial
objectives.  There is no specific formula employed between the Company's stated
goals and performance and the Board's determination; instead the Board's
judgment and discretion is used in determining the base salary.  The cash bonus
paid to Mr. McKinniss during fiscal 1995 was approved by the Board of Directors
in accordance with the terms outlined in his employment agreement.

the Board of Directors as a whole, based on recommendations made to the Board
by Mr. McKinniss, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, for other executive
officers.  Mr. McKinniss does not participate in discussions regarding his own
compensation.

CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS

         In March 1993, the Board of Directors authorized a program allowing
the exchange of outstanding Series A Preferred Stock for shares of Common Stock
based on the $1.00 liquidation value of the Preferred Stock compared with the
fair market value of the Company's Common Stock at the date of exchange.
Through September 30, 1995, Mr. McKinniss has exchanged 3,726,729 shares of
Preferred Stock for 3,247,991 shares of Common Stock based on the fair market
value of the Company's Common Stock at the dates of exchange, which ranged from
$.6875 to $2.4375.  In addition, L. John Polite has exchanged 332,360 shares of
Preferred Stock for 483,432 shares of Common Stock based on the fair market
value of the Company's Common Stock at the date of these exchanges, which was
$0.6875.

         During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1995, the Company incurred legal
fees and costs amounting to $48,519 for services performed by E. Paul Tonkovich
Professional Corporation, of which E. Paul Tonkovich, the Secretary and a
director of the Company, is an employee.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS

         The Company has entered into an employment contract with Mr. McKinniss
which expires June 30, 1999.  The agreement provides for a minimum annual base
salary of $200,000 and is increased on each anniversary of the agreement (July
1) by an amount at least equal to the annual percentage increase in the
Consumer Price Index for the Los Angeles-Long Beach area.  The Board of
Directors may, in its discretion, increase the base salary by a greater amount.
Effective September 1, 1995, the annual salary for Mr. McKinniss was increased
to $336,960.  See "Report of the Board/Executive Compensation".  In addition to
Mr. McKinniss's base salary, under the agreement he is to be paid an annual
bonus equal to one percent (1%) of the total operating income of the Company
(before taxes and extraordinary items) earned by the Company for the preceding
fiscal year ending June 30th.  The agreement contains certain noncompetition
and nondisclosure covenants.  The agreement also allows for termination of
employment by either party voluntarily or for cause as outline in the
agreement.  If the Company terminates the employment of Mr. McKinniss for
reasons other than cause, disability or death, Mr. McKinniss will be entitled
to receive termination payments equal to the continuance of his current base
salary for a period of twelve (12) months from termination.


COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS

         During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1995, directors (other than
those who were employees of the Company) were paid $600 for each meeting of the
Board they attended.  All members of committees of the Board received $250 for
each meeting which they attended, plus reimbursement for reasonable expenses
incurred  unless such meetings occurred on the day of meetings of the full
Board, in which case such committee members received no additional
compensation.  The Company incurred directors fees totalling $9,600 in fiscal
year 1995.  Directors who are employees of the Company have not been separately
compensated for their services as directors.


COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(A) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934

         Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the
Company's directors and executive officers, and persons who own more than ten
percent (10%) of the outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock, to file
with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the American Stock Exchange
initial reports of ownership (Form 3) and changes in ownership of such stock
(Forms 4 and 5).

         To the Company's knowledge, based solely upon review of the copies of
such reports furnished to it, during fiscal year ended June 30, 1995, all
Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to its executive officers and
directors were complied with.
