                             ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

      The directors of the Company are elected annually and hold office for
the ensuing year and until their successors have been elected and qualified.
Joseph E. Cresci, Donald A. Livingston, Peter J. Blampied, Edward B. Koehler and
Robert I. Weisberg have been nominated  by management for election at the
Meeting. All nominees are presently directors of the Company and were elected at
the Annual Meeting of Stockholders held June 23, 1994.  The Company's by-laws
presently state that the number of directors constituting the entire Board of
Directors shall be determined by resolution of the Board of Directors.  The
number of directors currently fixed by the Board of Directors is five.  This
number may be changed by resolution of the Board of Directors.

      No proxy may be voted for more people than the number of nominees listed
below.  Shares represented by all proxies received by the Board of Directors and
not so marked as to withhold authority to vote for any individual director (by
writing that individual director's name where indicated on the proxy) or for all
directors will be voted (unless one or more nominees are unable or unwilling to
serve) FOR the election of all the nominees named below.  The Board of Directors
knows of no reason why any such nominee would be unable or unwilling to serve,
but if such should be the case, proxies may be voted for the election of some
other person.

      The Board of Directors of the Company held six meetings during the
fiscal year ended December 31, 1994.  The Compensation Committee of the Board of
Directors, which consists of Messrs. Cresci and Livingston, determines the
compensation of the Company's executive officers other than themselves and met
once in 1994.  The Audit Committee, which consists of Messrs. Blampied, Koehler
and Weisberg, oversees the accounting and financial functions of the Company,
including matters relating to the appointment and activities of the Company's
independent auditors, and met once in 1994.  The Executive Committee, which
consists of Messrs. Cresci and Livingston, can act in place of the full Board of
Directors to the extent permitted by law and did not meet in 1994.  The Stock
Option Committee, which consist of Messrs. Blampied and Koehler did not meet in
1994.  It is expected that Mr. Weisberg will be appointed to the Stock Option
Committee after the Meeting.

      share ($.50) on December 31, 1994, as reported on the NASDAQ Small-Cap
      Market, less the applicable option exercise price.

(2)   In connection with the termination of his employment with the Company on
      February 1, 1995, Mr. Pearce surrendered his right to purchase 250,000
      shares of an option granted to him with respect to an aggregate of 450,000
      shares, and in connection therewith, the Company (i) reduced the exercise
      price of such option with respect to the remaining 200,000 shares, and
      (ii) converted his remaining options into non-qualified options and
      changed the last date on which he might exercise such options to January
      1, 2001.


Compensation of Directors

      Each director of the company who is not an officer or employee of the
Company receives $2,000 (plus expenses) for each scheduled meeting of the Board
of Directors or non-coincident meeting of a board committee which he attends.

      Edward B. Koehler is a partner with Hunton & Williams, New York, a law
firm which provided services to the Company in 1994 and 1995.

      During 1994 Messrs. Blampied and Koehler received option grants to
purchase 10,000 shares each under the Company's Director Option Plan and Mr.
Weisberg was granted an option to purchase 40,000 shares. All options granted
during 1994 are exercisable at $.5625 per share.

Other Transactions

      In December 1985, the Company loaned $55,000 to Mr. Livingston. This loan
bears interest at a bank's prime rate plus 1/2% and was due and payable on
December 31, 1994. In 1994 the Company extended the due date of the loan to
December 31, 1995. As of March 31, 1995, total principal and accrued and unpaid
interest on this loan was approximately $99,700.

      On January 24, 1994 the Company entered into an agreement with the DBL
Liquidating Trust (the "Trust"), succesor to Drexel Burnham Lambert,
Incorporated ("Drexel"), in which the Company acquired the Trust's right to all
of its Preferred Stock which had been previously issued to Drexel. In addition,
the Company was not required to pay dividends accrued on such Preferred Stock.

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act

      Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
requires the Company's officers and directors, and persons who own more than ten
percent of a registered class of the Company's equity securities, to file
initial statements of beneficial ownership (Form 3), and statements of changes
in beneficial ownership (Forms 4 or 5), of Common Stock and other equity
securities of the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"SEC"). Officers, directors and greater than ten percent stockholders are
required by SEC regulation to furnish the Company with copies of all such forms
they file.

      To the Company's knowledge, based solely on its review of the copies of
such forms received by it, or written representations from certain reporting
persons that no additional forms were required for those persons, the Company
believes that during 1994 all filing requirements applicable to its officers,
directors, and greater than ten-percent beneficial owners were complied with,
except as follows: Mr. Weisberg filed a late Form 3 for the month of June and
Messrs. Blampied and Koehler each filed a late Form 4 for the month of June.

                                   AUDITORS

      It is expected that a member of the firm of Deloitte & Touche LLP, the
independent certified public accountants who reported on the Company's financial
statements included in the 1994 Annual Report, will be available either by
telephone or present at the Meeting with the opportunity to make a statement if
so desired and will be available to respond to appropriate questions. At this
time the Board of Directors has not selected a firm of independent certified
public accountants to serve as auditors for the fiscal year ended December 31,
1995.

Replacement of Independent Accountants

      The Company retained Deloitte & Touche as its independent auditors on
January 22, 1993, replacing Ernst & Young in that capacity. The Board of
Directors of the Company approved the change. At that time both the Company and
Ernst & Young had been reviewing the proposed accounting treatment of operations
of the Company under the Form of Lease which the Company's subsidiary, Buzzard
Power Corporation ("Buzzard"), holds the right to enter into upon completion of
the Scrubgrass project. Until the filing of the Company's 1993 Annual Report all
financial statements of the Company, including the financial statements for the
year ended December 31, 1992 reported on by Deloitte & Touche, treated the
Scrubgrass project as a financing, reflecting the assets and liabilities of the
project as assets and liabilities of Buzzard for reporting purposes.

      In the fourth quarter of 1993, Buzzard amended the Form of Lease to
eliminate its fair market value purchase option and the Company's 1993 Annual
Report, also reported on by Deloitte & Touche, eliminated the attribution of the
assets and liabilities of the project to the Company for reporting purposes. On
June 30, 1994 the Company entered into the Lease which is treated, for
accounting purposes, as an operating lease.

      Neither the Board of Directors of the Company nor any committee thereof
met with Ernst & Young to discuss the accounting treatment of the Scrubgrass
lease nor had Ernst & Young completed their research and concluded on this issue
prior to their dismissal. The Company authorized Ernst & Young to respond fully
to Deloitte & Touche to inquiries on this matter.

      The Company did not consult with Deloitte & Touche with regard to
Scrubgrass transaction issues prior to their engagement by the Company. The
reports of Ernst & Young for the fiscal years ended December 31, 1991 and 1990
were not qualified or modified in any respect. Management does not believe that
during the period prior to January 22, 1993 there had been any disagreements
with Ernst & Young on any matter of accounting principles or practices,
financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which, if not
resolved to their satisfaction, would have caused them to make reference to such
a disagreement in connection with their reports on the Company's financial
statements.

                                 STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS

      It is presently contemplated that the 1996 Annual Meeting of Stockholders
will be held on or about June 20, 1996.  Proposals of stockholders intended for
inclusion in the proxy statement to be furnished to all stockholders entitled to
vote at the next annual meeting of the company must be received at the Company's
principal executive offices not later than December 7, 1995.  In order to
curtail controversy as to the date on which a proposal was received by the
Company, it is suggested that proponents submit their proposals by Certified
Mail-Return Receipt Requested.


                                 OTHER BUSINESS

      The Board of Directors knows of no business which will be presented for
consideration at the Meeting other than that stated above. If any other business
should come before the Meeting, votes may be cast pursuant to proxies in respect
to any such business in the best judgement of the person or persons acting under
the proxies.


                           EXPENSES AND SOLICITATION

      The cost of solicitation of proxies will be borne by the Company. Proxies
will be solicited principally through the mails. Further solicitation of proxies
from some stockholders may be made by directors, officers and regular employees
of the Company personally, by telephone, telegraph or special letter. No
additional compensation, except for reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses, will be paid for any such further solicitation. In addition, the
Company may request banks, brokers, and other custodians, nominees and
fiduciaries to solicit customers of theirs who have shares of the Company
registered in the name of a nominee. The Company will reimburse any such persons
for their reasonable out-of-pocket costs.
