(1)  For purposes of this table, beneficial ownership is computed pursuant to
     Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act; the inclusion of shares as beneficially
     owned should not be construed as an admission that such shares are
     beneficially owned for purposes of the Exchange Act.  Under the rules of
     the Securities and Exchange Commission, a person is deemed to be a
     "beneficial owner" of a security he or she has or shares the power to vote
     or direct the voting of such security or the power to dispose of or direct
     the disposition of such security.  Accordingly, more than one person may
     be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the same security.

(2)  All of the shares owned of record by Frost Nevada Limited Partnership are
     owned beneficially by Dr. Phillip Frost.

                     CHANGE IN CONTROL AND LINE OF BUSINESS

     On August 9, 1996, the Company signed a definitive Agreement and Plan of
Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with Zanart Subsidiary, Inc. ("ZSI"), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and Continucare Corporation, a Florida
corporation ("Continucare").  The Merger Agreement provides for the merger of
ZSI with and into Continucare.  Upon the consummation of the Merger which
occurred on September 11, 1996 (the "Closing Date") and pursuant to the terms
of the Merger Agreement, (i) each issued and outstanding share of common stock
of Continucare converted into one share of common stock of the Company, the
separate existence of ZSI terminated and Continucare became a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company, (ii) the Company has agreed to sell or otherwise
dispose of its assets (other than cash) and discharge all liabilities relating
to the Company's existing licensing business and (iii) the Company's Board of
Directors and management became comprised of designees of Continucare.  See the
"Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management" table set
forth above for certain information concerning the ownership of the new
management, directors and 5% holders of the Company subsequent to the
aforementioned description of the Company's change in control.  The following
individuals no longer serve the Company in either an executive management or
directorial capacity: Thomas Zotos, Robert A. Stein, Steve Adelman, Jacqueline
Simkin and Todd Slayton.

                            CHANGE OF CORPORATE NAME

     The Board of Directors of the Company has unanimously adopted a resolution
setting forth an amendment to Article I of the Company's Articles of
Incorporation.  Once approved by a majority of the Company's shareholders, the
amendment will be effective when filed with the Department of State of Florida
and will amend Article I of the Company's Articles of Incorporation to read as
follows:

     "The name of the corporation shall be Continucare Corporation (the
"Corporation")".

This proposed name change reflects the above-described change in control and
change in line of business of the Company.

     Upon shareholder approval of the change in Company name, the trading
symbols for the Common Stock on the American Stock Exchange will not be
changed.  Stock certificates representing the Company's Common Stock issued
prior to the effective date of the change in corporate name to "Continucare
Corporation" will continue to represent the same number of shares, remain
authentic and will not be required to be returned to the Company or its
transfer agent for reissuance.  New stock certificates issued upon transfer of
shares of Common Stock after the name change will bear the name "Continucare
Corporation".  Delivery of existing stock certificates will continue to be
accepted in a sale transaction made by a shareholder after the corporate name
is changed.

     The Company's cost of effecting the name change will not be material.  The
public announcement of the change of the corporate name will consist
principally of announcements placed in the business and financial press.


     The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of Common 
Stock in the form of a written consent will be required for approval of the 
change of the Company's corporate name to "Continucare Corporation".
