                                 PROXY STATEMENT
                                       For
                         ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS


                     INFORMATION CONCERNING THE SOLICITATION

         The  accompanying  proxy is solicited by the Board of Directors of Shop
At Home, Inc. (the "Company"),  for use at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders to
be held on November 17, 2000, and any adjournments  thereof,  notice of which is
attached hereto.

         This Proxy  Statement  and the  Annual  Report of the  Company  for the
fiscal year ended June 30, 2000,  have been mailed on or about October 20, 2000,
to all shareholders of record on October 2, 2000.

         The  purposes of the Annual  Meeting  are:  [1] to consider and to vote
upon the  election of six (6)  directors;  [2] to consider  and to vote upon the
approval of the issuance of Common Stock upon conversion of the Company's Series
B Convertible Preferred Stock, in payment of dividends thereon and upon exercise
of the warrants,  pursuant to Rule 4460 of the Nasdaq Stock  Market;  and [3] to
consider  such other  business  as may  properly  come before the meeting or any
adjournment thereof.

         A  shareholder  of  record  who  signs  and  returns  a  proxy  in  the
accompanying form may revoke that proxy at any time before the authority granted
thereby is exercised (i) by attending the Annual Meeting and electing to vote in
person,  (ii) by filing with the Secretary of the Company a written  revocation,
or (iii) by duly  executing and filing with the Secretary of the Company a proxy
bearing a later date.  Unless so revoked,  the shares  represented  by the proxy
will be voted at the Annual  Meeting.  Where a choice is specified on the proxy,
the  shares   represented   thereby  will  be  voted  in  accordance  with  that
specification.  If no  specification  is made, all shares will be voted: FOR the
election of all  director  nominees;  and FOR the  approval  of the  issuance of
shares of Common Stock.

         The Board of Directors knows of no other matters that are to be brought
to a vote at the Annual Meeting.  If, however, any other matter does come before
the meeting, the persons appointed in the proxy, or their substitutes, will vote
in accordance with their best judgment on such matters.

         The Board of  Directors  has fixed the close of  business on October 2,
2000  (the  "Record  Date")  as the  record  date for the  Annual  Meeting.  The
Company's only class of securities  entitled to vote is its Common Stock, $.0025
par value per share  ("Common  Stock").  On the Record  Date,  the  Company  had
outstanding  31,266,787  shares of Common Stock.  Only shareholders of record at
the close of  business on the Record Date will be entitled to vote at the Annual
Meeting.  Shareholders  will be entitled to one vote for each share held,  which
vote may be given in person or by proxy authorized in writing.

         Under  the  Tennessee  Business  Corporation  Act (the  "Act")  and the
Company's  Bylaws,  the  presence,  in person or by proxy,  of a majority of the
outstanding  shares of the  Company's  Common  Stock is necessary to establish a
quorum of the  Company's  shareholders  for the purpose of taking  action at the
Annual Meeting. For these purposes, shares which are present or represented by a
proxy at the Annual Meeting will be counted for quorum  purposes,  regardless of
whether the holder of the shares or proxy fails to vote on any particular matter
or  whether  a  broker  with  discretionary  authority  fails  to  exercise  his
discretionary voting authority with respect to any particular matter.



<PAGE>


         The  directors  standing for election must be elected by a plurality of
the votes cast at the Annual Meeting. Any other action to be taken at the Annual
Meeting  must be  approved by a majority  of the votes  cast.  For these  voting
purposes,  abstentions  and broker  non-votes will not be counted in determining
whether the  directors  standing for  election  have been elected or whether any
other action has been approved.

         None of the  proposals  will give any  shareholder  of the  Company the
right to dissent from such action,  and to thereby obtain payment in cash of the
fair value of that shareholder's shares.

                 SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS

         The  following  information  relates to the Common Stock of the Company
beneficially owned, directly or indirectly,  by all persons known by the Company
to be the beneficial  owners of more than five percent (5%) of the Common Stock,
as of October 2, 2000.  Unless  otherwise  noted,  the named  persons  have sole
voting and investment power with respect to the shares indicated.

                                            Amount and Nature of      Percent of
Name and Address of Beneficial Owner(1)     Beneficial Ownership         Class

(1)      In  addition  to shares  over  which the  person  has  voting  power or
         investment  power,  a person is deemed  to be the  beneficial  owner of
         securities  that can be acquired by such person within 60 days from the
         date of this Proxy Statement upon the exercise of options and warrants.
         Each beneficial owner's percentage  ownership is determined by assuming
         that options and  warrants  that are held by such person (but not those
         held by any other person) and that are exercisable  within 60 days from
         the date of this Proxy Statement have been exercised.

(2)      Mr.  Clinton's  address and the address of SAH Holdings,  Ltd. ("SAH"),
         is 400 Fifth Avenue South,  Suite 205,  Naples, Florida 34102. SAH is a
         Florida   limited   partnership  with   Gatehouse   Equity   Management
         Corporation,  a Tennessee  corporation  ("GEM"),   as its sole  general
         partner.  Mr.  Clinton is chairman, a director and the sole shareholder
         of GEM.  SAH  currently  owns   1,840,490  shares of Common Stock,  and
         holds  warrants to purchase an additional  1,545,066  shares of  Common
         Stock.  Clinton Investments,  Ltd., a Florida  limited  partnership for
         which GEM is the sole general  partner,  owns 595,285 shares of  Common
         Stock,  and holds warrants to purchase an additional  542,500 shares of
         Common Stock.  GEM owns 18,600 shares of Common Stock.     Mr.  Clinton
         individually  holds  options to purchase  35,000  shares of stock  from
         the  Company.  Mr.  Clinton's  wife owns,   individually,  9,320 shares
         of Common Stock. Two trusts,  the  beneficiaries of whom are members of
         Mr.  Clinton's  immediate family,  own 59,161 shares of Common Stock in
         the  aggregate. All of the listed shares are assumed to be beneficially
         owned by Mr. Clinton.

(3)      The  address  of    HFTP    Investment    L.L.C.  ("HFTP")    is    c/o
         Promethean  Asset Management, L.L.C., 750 Lexington Avenue, 22nd Floor,
         New York,  New  York  10022.  Promethean   Asset   Management,   L.L.C.
         ("Promethean"),  a  New  York  limited  liability  company,  serves  as
         investment  manager  for HFTP and  may  be  deemed  to share beneficial
         ownership  of the  shares  beneficially   owned  by HFTP  by  reason of
         shared  power to vote and to dispose of the shares  beneficially  owned
         by HFTP.   Promethean   disclaims  beneficial  ownership  of the shares
         beneficially owned by HFTP.   Mr.  James  F.  O'Brien,  Jr.  indirectly
         controls  Promethean.  Mr. O'Brien disclaims  beneficial  ownership  of
         the shares  beneficially owned by Promethean and HFTP. The shares shown
         as beneficially owned by HFTP as of October 2, 2000, include  shares of
         Common Stock  issuable upon  conversion of shares of Series B Preferred
         Stock and  exercise  of related  warrants  held by  HFTP  on October 2,
         2000,  without regard to any  limitations on conversions  or  exercises
         except as described in footnote (5) below.  The conversion price of the
         Series B Preferred Stock is  established  as  of the date of conversion
         by using a  percentage  of  the  lowest closing bid price of the Common
         Stock during the four trading  days  ending  on  the  conversion  date,
         subject  to a maximum  conversion  price  which as of October  2,  2000
         was   $12.00.   The   shares   included    as   being   issuable   upon
         conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock are based on the conversion
         price of  the  Series  B  Preferred Stock on October 2, 2000, which was
         $2.121875,  based on 97% of the lowest closing bid price  of the Common
         Stock during the four trading days ending on October 2,  2000.  Because
         the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred
         Stock is based on a formula that  depends  on  the  market price of the
         Common Stock, the actual number of  shares  issued  upon  conversion of
         the Series B  Preferred  Stock may be higher or lower  than  the number
         described above.

(4)      The address of Leonardo, L.P. ("Leonardo") is c/o Angelo, Gordon & Co.,
         L.P., 245 Park Avenue,  26th Floor,  New York, New York 10167.  Angelo,
         Gordon & Co., L.P.  ("Angelo  Gordon") is a general partner of Leonardo
         and  consequently  has voting  control and  investment  discretion over
         securities  held  by  Leonardo.   Angelo  Gordon  disclaims  beneficial
         ownership of the shares held by Leonardo. Mr. John M. Angelo, the Chief
         Executive Officer of Angelo Gordon, and  Mr.  Michael  L.  Gordon,  the
         Chief  Operating  Officer of  Angelo  Gordon,   are  the  sole  general
         partners of AG Partners,  L.P.,  the  sole  general  partner  of Angelo
         Gordon.  As a result,  Mr. Angelo  and  Mr. Gordon  may  be  considered
         beneficial  owners of any shares deemed to  be  beneficially  owned  by
         Angelo  Gordon.  The shares shown as beneficially  owned by Leonardo as
         of October 2, 2000,  include  shares  of  Common  Stock  issuable  upon
         conversion  of  shares of  Series B  Preferred  Stock  and  exercise of
         related warrants held by Leonardo on October 2,  2000,  without  regard
         to any  limitations on conversions or exercises  except as described in
         footnote (5) below.  The conversion  price of the  Series  B  Preferred
         Stock  is  established  as  of  the  date  of  conversion  by  using  a
         percentage  of the lowest  closing bid price of the Common Stock during
         the four trading days ending on  the  conversion  date,  subject  to  a
         maximum  conversion  price  which as of October 2, 2000 was $12.00. The
         shares  included as being issuable upon  conversion  of  the  Series  B
         Preferred  Stock are based on the  conversion  price  of  the  Series B
         Preferred Stock on October 2, 2000, which was $2.121875, based  on  97%
         of the lowest closing bid price of the Common   Stock  during  the four
         trading days ending on October 2, 2000.  Because  the  number of shares
         issuable  upon  conversion  of the Series  B  Preferred  Stock is based
         on a formula  that  depends on the market price  of  the  Common Stock,
         the actual number of shares  issued  upon conversion  of  the  Series B
         Preferred Stock may be higher or lower than the number described above.

(5)      Under the  Company's  Articles of Amendment  of  its  charter  for  the
         Series B  Preferred  Stock  and  under  the  terms of the     warrants,
         no holder of Series B  Preferred  Stock or warrants  may convert Series
         B Preferred Stock or exercise the warrants, respectively, to the extent
         such conversion or exercise would  cause  such  holder,  together  with
         its  affiliates,  to have  acquired a number of shares of Common  Stock
         during the 60-day period ending on the date of  conversion  or exercise
         which,  when added to the number of shares of Common Stock held at  the
         beginning  of the 60-day  period,  would  exceed  9.99% of the   number
         of shares of Common Stock  outstanding, excluding  for purposes of such
         determination shares of Common Stock issuable   upon  conversion of the
         Series B Preferred  Stock  which  have  not  been  converted  and  upon
         exercise of the related warrants which   have not been  exercised.  The
         number  of  shares  shown  as  being  beneficially owned  reflects this
         limitation.

                                 PROPOSAL NO. 1
                              ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

         The Board of  Directors  proposes  the election of the six (6) nominees

Employment Agreements

         Kent E. Lillie.   On  September  25,  1993,  the  Company  executed  an
employment agreement with Kent E. Lillie whereby Mr. Lillie commenced employment
as the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer.  Under  that  agreement,
Mr. Lillie was granted options to purchase up to 600,000  shares of Common Stock
at an exercise  price of $1.00 per share during the term of the  agreement,  all
of which have been exercised.

         On June 21, 1996, the Board of Directors  granted Mr. Lillie options to
purchase an additional  500,000 shares of the Company's  Common Stock at a price
of $3.75 per  share.  Options to  purchase  100,000  of these  shares  vested on
January 1, 1997,  1998,  1999 and 2000,  and options to  purchase an  additional
100,000  shares will vest on January 1, 2001.  Effective  June 19,  1997,  these
options were replaced with options having the same terms and conditions,  except
for the exercise price which was reduced to $2.87.

         Effective July 1, 1997, the Company executed a new employment agreement
with Mr.  Lillie to continue his  employment  as President  and Chief  Executive
Officer.  The agreement  provided  that Mr.  Lillie would be granted  options to
purchase up to 50,000 shares of the Company's  Common Stock at an exercise price
of $2.875 per share. These options will vest on June 30, 2001 and expire on June
30, 2006.  In the event of a "change of control" of the  Company,  as defined in
the agreement,  the agreement  grants Mr. Lillie certain  rights,  including the
right to resign at any time during the twelve months following the occurrence of
the event, and any options to purchase stock not yet vested shall  automatically
vest  on the  date  of such  termination.  The  Company  also  agreed  to pay or
reimburse Mr. Lillie for the  relocation of his primary  residence from Atlanta,
Georgia, to Nashville,  Tennessee,  the Company's new headquarters location. The
Company  also  agreed to make Mr.  Lillie a loan in the  amount of  $800,000  in
connection  with the relocation of his residence.  All of the loan proceeds have
been advanced to Mr. Lillie.  The loan matures on the earlier of (i) the date of
Mr.  Lillie's  termination  from  the  Company,  or (ii)  June 30,  2002.  Until
maturity,  payments  equal to ten percent  (10%) of bonus  payments  made to Mr.
Lillie are required to be used to repay the loan.  During the fiscal year ending
June 30, 2000, Mr. Lillie received $73,050 in cash bonus payments. The loan does
not bear interest.



<PAGE>


         Effective  January  27,  1999,  the Company  executed a new  employment
agreement  with Mr.  Lillie to continue his  employment  as President  and Chief
Executive Officer. Under the terms of the agreement, Mr. Lillie will be employed
for a term of five (5) years,  beginning February 1, 1999, with a base salary of
$225,000 per year. The agreement is  automatically  renewable for successive two
(2) year  terms  unless  either  party  terminates  the  agreement  prior to the
commencement of the renewal term. In addition to the base salary,  the agreement
also  provides for a quarterly  bonus of the greater of (i) ten percent (10%) of
the increase of the  Company's  net income over the same quarter of the previous
fiscal  year,  or (ii) five  percent (5%) of the Total Cash Flow with Total Cash
Flow  being  defined  as  the  Company's  net  income,   plus  depreciation  and
amortization.  Under the agreement,  Mr. Lillie receives an automobile allowance
and other fringe benefits and  allowances.  The agreement also provides that Mr.
Lillie will be granted options to purchase up to 500,000 shares of the Company's
Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.813 per share. Effective on the date of
the  Agreement,  the option to  purchase  100,000 of these  shares  vested,  and
options  to  purchase  100,000  shares  will  vest on each of the next  four (4)
anniversary dates of the Agreement. In the event of a "change of control" of the
Company,  as defined in the agreement,  the agreement  grants Mr. Lillie certain
rights, including the right to resign at any time during twenty-four (24) months
following the occurrence of the event, and to receive an amount of cash equal to
his base salary and monthly allowances for the twenty-four (24) months preceding
such  resignation.  In  addition,  any options to purchase  stock not yet vested
shall  automatically  vest on the date of such  termination.  In the  event  the
Company  terminates Mr. Lillie for cause, the Company has agreed to continue Mr.
Lillie's base salary and car  allowance for a period of one year.  The agreement
also  provides  that Mr.  Lillie will not  compete  with the Company for two (2)
years following the termination of his employment.

         Arthur D. Tek. On February 25, 1999, the Company executed an employment
agreement  with  Arthur D. Tek  whereby  Mr.  Tek  commenced  employment  as the
Company's Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.  Under the terms
of the  agreement,  Mr.  Tek  will be  employed  for a term of five  (5)  years,
beginning on March 12, 1999,  with a base salary of $175,000 per year.  The term
of the agreement may only be extended by mutual agreement. If the Company elects
not to renew the  agreement,  then Mr. Tek will be paid his base  salary for one
year or until he accepts a position  with  another  company.  In addition to the
base salary,  the  agreement  provides Mr. Tek an annual bonus up to $75,000 per
year,  based on a bonus plan similar to the one in existence  for the  President
and Chief Executive Officer.  The agreement also provided for Mr. Tek to be paid
or  reimbursed  for the  relocation  of his primary  residence  from  Florida to
Nashville,   Tennessee,   including   certain  lodging  expenses  in  Nashville,
Tennessee.  The  agreement  granted  Mr. Tek  options to  purchase up to 150,000
shares of Common Stock at an exercise  price of $13.00 per share during the term
of the agreement. Of those options,  options to purchase 30,000 shares vested on
March 12, 1999,  and additional  options to purchase  24,000 shares vest on each
anniversary date thereafter for five years. The options expire on the earlier to
occur  of (a)  five  years  after  the  date of  vesting  or (b) 90  days  after
termination of Mr. Tek's  employment with the Company.  If within two years of a
"change of control", as defined in the agreement, the Company terminates Mr. Tek
without  cause or Mr. Tek  resigns,  then the Company has agreed to continue Mr.
Tek's base salary for a period of two years or the  remainder of the term of the
agreement,  whichever is shorter,  and has also agreed to extend the time during
which Mr.  Tek can  exercise  his stock  options to one (1) year  following  the
termination.  In the event the Company  terminates  Mr. Tek without cause or Mr.
Tek resigns due to the Company's  breach of the agreement,  then the Company has
agreed to  continue  Mr.  Tek's base  salary  for one year,  unless he accepts a
position with another company. The agreement also provides that Mr. Tek will not
compete  with  the  Company  for  one  year  following  the  termination  of his
employment,  unless the agreement is terminated by the Company  without cause or
by Mr. Tek due to the Company's breach of the agreement.

Compensation of Directors

         In June 1997,  each  director was granted an option to purchase  10,000
shares of the Common Stock of the Company at a price of $2.875 per share.  These
options  expire in June 2002 if not exercised  prior to such date.  Beginning in
1998,  the Company paid each  director $500 for each meeting  attended  ($100 if
attendance is by telephone),  along with the director's expenses associated with
attending the meeting.  Effective December 2, 1998, the amount paid to Directors
was  increased to $1,000 for each meeting  attended  ($500 if  attendance  is by
telephone). Effective January 1, 1998, the Company also granted to each director
an option to purchase 5,000 shares of the Company's  Common Stock at an exercise
price of $3.75, the market price on the date issued.  Effective December 2, 1998
the Company also granted to each director an option to purchase 10,000 shares of
the Company's  Common Stock at an exercise price of $6.969,  the market price on
the date granted.  Effective  August 16, 2000,  the Company also granted to each
director an option to purchase 10,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at an
exercise price of $3.75, the market price on the date granted.

Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan

         The Company's  Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan") was adopted by
the  Company's  Board of  Directors  on October 15,  1991,  and  approved by the
Company's shareholders at the 1991 annual meeting of shareholders.  The Plan was
amended at the 1996 annual  meeting of  shareholders  to make certain  technical
changes.

         A  special  administrative  committee  of the  Board of  Directors  was
appointed to administer  the plan.  All employees of the Company are eligible to
receive stock options and/or stock  appreciation  rights under the plan. Options
granted under the Plan can be either  incentive  stock  options or  nonqualified
stock options.  Incentive  stock options to purchase Common Stock may be granted
at not less than 100% of fair  market  value of the Common  Stock on the date of
the grant.

         SARs  generally  entitle the  participant  to receive the excess of the
fair market  value of a share of Common  Stock on the date of exercise  over the
initial  value of the SAR. The initial value of the SAR is the fair market value
of a share of Common Stock on the date of the grant.

         A maximum of  1,500,000  shares of Common  Stock may be issued upon the
exercise of options and SARs.



<PAGE>


         No option or SAR may be granted  after October 15, 2001. No option that
is an incentive  stock option nor any  corresponding  SAR related to such option
shall be  exercisable  after the expiration of ten (10) years from the date such
option or SAR was granted or after the  expiration of five (5) years in the case
of any such option or SAR that was granted to a 10% shareholder.

         As of October 6, 2000, stock options for 657,800 shares of Common Stock
have been granted under the Plan and were outstanding and  unexercised.  A total
of 652,000  shares of Common  Stock of the Company have been  previously  issued
upon exercise of stock options issued under the Plan. Mr. Lillie's  options were
not granted by the Company  pursuant to the Plan.  The Company has never  issued
any SARs.

1999 Employee Stock Option Plan

         The Board of Directors approved the 1999 Plan on July 21, 1999, and the
1999 Plan was approved by  stockholders  on March 30, 2000.

         The  1999  Plan  is  administered  by a  committee  of the  Board  (the
"Committee")  consisting of two  non-employee  directors.  All directors and key
employees  of the Company  and its  subsidiaries  (persons  to whom  options are
granted are  referred to as  "Participants"),  are  eligible to receive  options
under the 1999 Plan.  Subject to the  provisions of the 1999 Plan, the Committee
selects  the  directors  and key  employees  to whom  options  will be  granted,
determines  the  number of shares of Common  Stock  that will be subject to each
option,  and  determines  the time when options  will be granted,  the manner in
which each option is exercisable,  the duration of the exercise period,  and the
terms of conditions of options that are based on performance.

         The  maximum  number of shares of Common  Stock  that may be subject to
options granted under the 1999 Plan is 3,000,000.

         For all options  granted under the 1999 Plan, the option exercise price
is equal to the fair market  value of a share of Common Stock on the date of the
grant, unless the person to whom an option is granted owns more than ten percent
(10%) of the total voting stock of the Company, in which case the exercise price
must not be less than 110% of the fair market  value of the stock at the time of
the grant.

         As of October 6, 2000,  stock  options for  1,572,850  shares of Common
Stock  have  been  granted  under  the  1999  Plan  and  were   outstanding  and
unexercised.  No shares  of Common  Stock of the  Company  have been  previously
issued upon exercise of stock options issued under the Plan.

                   TRANSACTIONS WITH MANAGEMENT AND DIRECTORS

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

         The Board of Directors of the Company  does  not  have  a  Compensation
Committee.  All directors of the Company  participate in executive  compensation
decisions.  The  members  of  the  Board of  Directors  during  the fiscal  year
ended June 30,  2000,  were J.D. Clinton, A.E. Jolley, Joseph I. Overholt, Frank
A. Woods, J. Daniel Sullivan, and Kent E. Lillie.

Transactions with Related Parties

         In September 1998, the Company  relocated its studios and  headquarters
to newly constructed facilities in Nashville,  Tennessee.  The real property for
the new facility was initially acquired by a limited liability company organized
by individuals related to J.D. Clinton, and that company obtained a construction
loan (the "Facility Loan") in January 1998 from a commercial lender to build the
facility.  The loan  was  guaranteed  by the  Company  and  also was  personally
guaranteed by Mr.  Clinton.  The Company  agreed to pay to Mr. Clinton an annual
fee equal to 1% of the  amount of the  Facility  Loan in  consideration  for Mr.
Clinton's  guaranty,  which was to be payable in either  cash or in stock of the
Company.  In March 1998,  the Company  acquired the facility by acquiring all of
the ownership interest in the limited liability company for a price equal to the
balance due on the Facility Loan,  thereby  generating no profits for the owners
of the limited  liability  company.  The Company paid the Facility  Loan in full
upon the acquisition of the limited liability company,  thereby  terminating Mr.
Clinton's guaranty. As a result of the agreement to pay a fee to Mr. Clinton for
his  guaranty,  the Company  issued to Mr.  Clinton a total of 11,226  shares of
Common Stock.  The Company also  retained the services of a development  company
with respect to the  construction  and  development of the facility,  and paid a
development  fee of  approximately  $165,000 for its services.  The  development
company  is owned by  Stephen  Sanders,  an  individual  who is  related to J.D.
Clinton.  The  Board  of  Directors  of the  Company  approved  the  development
agreement and  determined  that the agreed upon fee was in an amount  considered
normal and typical in the industry for the type of services to be rendered.

         In connection with the relocation of Kent E. Lillie's primary residence
from  Atlanta,  Georgia,  to  Nashville,  Tennessee,  the  Company  has  made an
interest-free  loan to Mr.  Lillie  in the  principal  amount of  $800,000.  See
"MANAGEMENT - Employment Agreements - Kent E. Lillie" herein.

         On September 1, 1999, the Company  entered into a lease  agreement with
INSOUTH Bank under which the Company leased  approximately  9,244 square feet of
office space in a commercial  building  which is adjacent to the main offices of
the  Company  in  Nashville.  The  lease is for a term of five (5)  years,  with
renewal  options,  at a lease  rate that was  determined  by the  Company  to be
comparable to the lease rates for comparable  space in the area. J.D. Clinton is
the controlling shareholder of INSOUTH Bank.

                        REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

         The Company's Board of Directors makes decisions on compensation of the
Company's executives.  Each member of the Board, except for Kent E. Lillie, is a
non-employee  director. It is the responsibility of the Board to assure that the
executive  compensation  programs are  reasonable  and  appropriate,  meet their
stated  purpose and  effectively  service the  interests  of the Company and its
stockholders.  Pursuant  to  rules of the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission
("SEC")  designed to enhance  disclosure of corporate  policies toward executive
compensation,  set forth  below is the  report of the  Board of  Directors  with
respect to executive compensation.

Compensation Philosophy and Policies for Executive Officers

         The Company  believes that the most  effective  executive  compensation
program  aligns the interest of the Company's  executives  with the interests of
its  stockholders.  The  Company's  primary  corporate  mission  is  to  achieve
profitability  on a consistent basis and thereby enhance  long-term  stockholder
value. In pursuit of that mission, the Board seeks to maintain a strong positive
nexus between this mission and its compensation and benefit goals.

         The Company's  executive  compensation  program exemplifies the Board's
commitment to that nexus. The Company  provides only minimal  perquisites to its
executive  officers,  relying instead upon  compensation  methods that emphasize
overall Company performance.  In addition,  the Company maintains no contractual
arrangements with any executive officer,  other than its agreements with its CEO
and CFO, thereby enhancing the opportunities  for  performance-based  rewards to
individuals.

         The Company's  executive  compensation  program  supports the Company's
mission by:

o        Directly  aligning  the  interests  of  executive   officers  with  the
         long-term  interests of the Company's  stockholders  by making  Company
         stock  appreciation  over the long term the  cornerstone  of  executive
         compensation  through  awards  that  can  result  in the  ownership  of
         substantial amounts of the Company's Common Stock.

o        Providing  compensation  opportunities  that create an environment that
         attracts and retains talented executives on a long-term basis.

o        Emphasizing pay for  performance  by  having  a  meaningful  portion of
         executive compensation "at risk."



<PAGE>


         At present,  the Company's executive  compensation program is comprised
of three primary  components:  base salary,  annual cash  incentive  (bonus) and
long-term incentive  opportunity in the form of stock options.  Two of the three
components  of the  Company's  executive  compensation  plan -- bonus  and stock
options -- directly relate to overall  performance by the Company.  With respect
to the third  component -- salary -- the Company seeks to be at or below market,
placing  primary  emphasis on the  opportunities  for greater reward through the
availability of performance-based reward mechanisms.

Base Salary

         The base salary of the Company's Chief Executive Officer,  as listed in
the Summary  Compensation Table, is governed by an employment agreement with the
Company.  As a part of its search  for a Chief  Executive  Officer in 1993,  the
Board  determined  that in order to attract an  individual  with  knowledge  and
experience  necessary to implement the Company's mission,  the Company needed to
provide that  individual  with a certain level of  compensation.  The Board also
determined  to  place  a  greater  portion  of  the   compensation   package  in
performance-based  compensation  (i.e.,  performance  bonus and stock  options),
thereby  providing an incentive for  outstanding  performance and minimizing the
amount of  guaranteed  compensation.  The  Board  believes  that the  employment
agreement  with  Mr.  Lillie  contains  an  appropriate  mix of  guaranteed  and
performance-based compensation.

         The  Company  has  no  other  employment   agreements  with  any  other
employees,  other  than  its CFO.  All  other  executive  officer  salaries  are
evaluated on an annual  basis.  In  determining  appropriate  salary  levels and
salary  increases,  the Board  considers  achievement of the Company's  mission,
level of responsibility,  individual  performance,  internal equity and external
pay  practices.  In this regard,  the Board attempts to set base salaries of all
executive  officers  at rates  at or below  the  rates of other  individuals  in
equivalent  positions in the market area. The Board  determines those rates from
information gathered by its members.

Annual Bonus

         The Board believes that annual bonuses to executive  officers encourage
management  to focus  attention on key  operational  goals of the  Company,  and
corporate and business  earnings are the main performance  measure for awards of
bonuses.  In that regard,  the  agreement  with the  Company's  Chief  Executive
Officer  provides a quarterly  bonus of the greater of (i) ten percent  (10%) of
the increase of the  Company's  net income over the same quarter of the previous
fiscal  year,  or (ii) five  percent (5%) of the Total Cash Flow with Total Cash
Flow being defined as the net income,  plus  depreciation and  amortization.  In
addition, the agreement with the Company's CFO provides for a bonus equal to 25%
of the amount of the bonus paid to the President up to $75,000,  and the Company
may also pay the CFO a discretionary  bonus. With respect to the other executive
officers of the Company, the Board does not have a formal annual incentive plan.
Instead,  the Board has elected to review the corporate and business performance
of the Company on a periodic  basis,  and make awards to  executive  officers if
appropriate.  In determining  appropriate  annual  bonuses,  the Board considers
achievement  of the  Company's  mission,  level  of  responsibility,  individual
performance,  internal  equity,  and external pay practices.  In the fiscal year
ended June 30, 2000, the Board elected to award cash bonuses to three  executive
officers.

Long-Term Incentives

         The Company's only current  long-term  incentive  compensation is stock
options that are directly related to improvement in long-term stockholder value.
The Board  believes that stock option  grants  provide an incentive to executive
officers that focuses each officer's  attention on managing the Company from the
perspective of an owner with an equity stake in the business.  In addition,  the
Board believes that stock option grants provide the Company with a mechanism for
recruiting  individuals by providing an opportunity for those officers to profit
from the results of their  contributions to the Company.  These grants also help
ensure that operating  decisions are based on long-term results that benefit the
Company and ultimately the Company's stockholders.

         The options granted to executive officers provide the right to purchase
shares of Common  Stock  usually at the fair market  value on the date of grant.
Usually, each stock option becomes vested and exercisable over a period of time,
generally  five years.  The number of shares  covered by each grant reflects the
Board's  assessment of the executive's level of  responsibility,  and his or her
past and anticipated  contributions to the Company. The size of option grants to
individual  executives is designed to reflect the impact the  individual  has on
decisions that affect the overall success of the Company.

         The Company  granted no stock options for shares of Common Stock to its
officers in the fiscal year ended June 30, 1993,  and the Company  granted stock
options  for  210,000  shares of Common  Stock to its  officers,  other than the
President, in the fiscal year ended June 30, 1994. In the fiscal year ended June
30, 1995, the Company awarded  officers options to purchase up to 140,000 shares
of Common  Stock.  In the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996,  the Company  awarded
officers options to purchase up to 225,000 shares of Common Stock. In the fiscal
year ended June 30, 1997, the Company awarded officers options to purchase up to
145,000  shares of Common  Stock.  In the fiscal year ended June 30,  1998,  the
Company  awarded  officers  options to purchase  up to 485,000  shares of Common
Stock.  In the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999,  the Company  awarded  executive
officers  options to purchase up to 270,000  shares of Common Stock.  Since June
30, 1999, the Company has awarded its executive  officers options to purchase up
to 170,000  shares of Common Stock.  In the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000, the
Company awarded  executive  officers options to purchase up to 160,500 shares of
Common  Stock.  Since June 30,  2000,  the Company  has  awarded  its  executive
officers options to purchase up to 125,000 shares of Common Stock.  These totals
are  exclusive  of stock  options  granted to Kent E.  Lillie and are net of any
options that expired without being exercised.

Chief Executive Compensation

         The  regulations of the SEC require the Board to disclose the basis for
the  compensation  of the  Company's  Chief  Executive  Officer  relative to the
Company's  performance.  The Company's Chief Executive Officer is its President,
Kent E.  Lillie.  Mr.  Lillie's  compensation  is  governed  by the  terms of an
employment  agreement  dated September 25, 1993, a second  employment  agreement
dated July 1, 1997, and a third employment agreement dated January 27, 1999.

         The Board's general approach in establishing Mr. Lillie's  compensation
was to provide a base salary  below  market,  augmented by an annual bonus based
upon specific corporate-wide  performance criteria, and stock options reflective
of the value of that  performance.  The Board  approved a current base salary of
$225,000 as provided by the third  Employment  Agreement,  and a quarterly bonus
based upon the financial performance of the Company. The Board determined, based
upon the information available,  that the base salary and annual bonus was below
the market rate and within the Company's overall internal compensation goal. Mr.
Lillie was paid a bonus for the fiscal  year  ended  June 30,  2000 of  $73,050.
Consistent with the goals stated above, that fact reflects the Company's overall
performance during that fiscal year and not Mr. Lillie's performance.

         As a part of the first employment agreement,  dated September 25, 1993,
Mr. Lillie was granted options to purchase up to 600,000 shares of the Company's
Common  Stock at an  exercise  price of $1.00 per share,  all of which have been
exercised.  The Board granted Mr. Lillie an option to purchase 500,000 shares of
its Common Stock as additional  long-term incentive during the fiscal year ended
June 30, 1997. Effective July 1, 1997, the Company and Mr. Lillie entered into a
new employment  agreement,  under which Mr. Lillie received  options to purchase
50,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock and certain changes were made in the
computation of Mr. Lillie's bonus.  Effective  January 27, 1999, the Company and
Mr.  Lillie  entered into a new  employment  agreement,  under which Mr.  Lillie
received  options to purchase  500,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock. See
"Employment Agreements" herein.

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act

         Officers,  directors and certain  shareholders  of companies which have
equity  securities  registered  with the SEC under Section 12 of the  Securities
Exchange  Act of 1934,  as amended from time to time (the  "Securities  Exchange
Act"), must file certain periodic reports  (identified as Forms 3, 4 and 5) with
respect to their stock ownership of the company,  and certain  changes  therein.
Based solely upon a review of the Forms 3 and 4 and amendments thereto furnished
to the  Company  during the most recent  fiscal year and Forms 5 and  amendments
thereto furnished to the Company with respect to the most recent fiscal year, no
director, officer, or shareholder beneficially owning more than 10% of any class
of  equity  securities  failed on a timely  basis to file  reports  required  by
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act:

                                 PROPOSAL NO. 2

APPROVAL  OF THE  ISSUANCE  OF COMMON  STOCK  UPON  CONVERSION  OF THE  SERIES B
CONVERTIBLE  PREFERRED STOCK, IN PAYMENT OF DIVIDENDS  THEREON AND UPON EXERCISE
OF THE WARRANTS IN EXCESS OF 19.99% OF THE NUMBER  OF  SHARES  OF  COMMON  STOCK
OUTSTANDING ON JUNE 30, 2000, PURSUANT TO RULE 4460 OF THE NASDAQ STOCK MARKET.

Background

          On June  30,  2000,  the  Company  issued  2,000  shares  of  Series B
Convertible  Preferred  Stock,  $10,000  stated  value per share (the  "Series B
Preferred  Stock"), in a private  placement to institutional  investors. The net
proceeds of the offering,  after expenses, were approximately $19.1 million. The
Company intends to use such proceeds  primarily for general corporate  purposes,
including working capital.

          In  connection  with the sale of the  Series B  Preferred  Stock,  the
Company issued warrants to purchase up to 2,000,000  shares of Common Stock (the
"Warrants").  The Warrants expire on June 30, 2003 and have an exercise price of
$5.00 per share, subject to certain  adjustments.   If  all  the  Warrants  were
exercised,  the Company would receive  proceeds  of approximately $10.0 million.
The exercise  price  and  number  of  shares  purchasable  upon  exercise of the
warrants are subject to  adjustment  upon  the  occurrence  of  certain dilutive
events. The exercise price may also be lowered to the  average  of  the  closing
bid prices  for the 10  trading  days  immediately preceding and including  June
30, 2001, if such average price  is  less  than  $5.00.   If  the  Warrants  are
exercised,  the  Company  intends  to  use  the  proceeds  primarily for general
corporate purposes, including working capital.

Waiver and Agreement

          The Series B Preferred  Stock converts into Common Stock at a floating
rate  based  on the  market  price  of the  Common  Stock,  subject  to  maximum
conversion  price which is presently  $12.00.  The lower the price of the Common
Stock at the time the  holder  converts,  the  greater  the  number of shares of
Common  Stock the  holder  will  receive.  The terms of the  Series B  Preferred
originally  provided that the holders could not exercise their rights to convert
the  Series B  Preferred  Stock or engage  in short  sales of the  Common  Stock
(beyond  the number of shares of Common  Stock  issuable  upon  exercise  of the
Warrants) prior to December 31, 2000,  unless certain events occurred.  One such
event would have  occurred if the  closing  price of the Common  Stock was below
$3.00 for 10 trading days out of 15 consecutive trading days; another would have
occurred if the closing  price of the Common Stock was less than $2.50 for three
consecutive  trading days (the "Price  Targets") . As of the close of trading on
September  20, 2000,  the closing price of the Common Stock had been below $3.00
for eight consecutive trading days.

          In order to prevent the  removal of restrictions on conversion  of all
of the Series B Preferred Stock  and the  removal  of all  restrictions on short
sales  and the  likely resulting   significant   dilution   to  the  holders  of
Common  Stock,  the Company engaged  in   negotiations  with the  holders of the
Series B  Preferred  Stock  to  restructure  certain   terms  of  the  Series  B
Preferred  Stock.  On September  21, 2000, the Company  entered  into the Waiver
and Agreement with the holders of the Series B  Preferred  Stock.   The  holders
have agreed to  waive  through  October 31,  2000  the  application of the Price
Targets that would  have enabled the holders to voluntarily convert their Series
B  Preferred  Stock   and   which  would   have  rendered  inapplicable  certain
restrictions  on  shorting  our  Common  Stock.  This   waiver will extend until
December 31, 2000 in the case of voluntary  conversion,  and until June 30, 2001
in the case of short  selling,  if by October  31,  2000  certain conditions are
met. The conditions  would be  deemed  satisfied  by  an  agreement  to  sell  a
television   station  on  certain   specified  terms,  including  for  proceeds,
net of related fees and expenses,  in excess of $30 million. The Company expects
that the sale of its  Bridgeport  station,  if  consummated,  will  satisfy this
condition.

          The Company has also agreed with the holders of our Series B Preferred
Stock that they will convert 500 shares of Series B Preferred  Stock ($5 million
stated  value) into Common Stock by October 31, 2000,  and another 500 shares of
Series B Preferred  Stock ($5 million  stated  value) into Common Stock  between
November 1, 2000 and December 31, 2000,  subject to certain  volume  limitations
and other conditions.   Under the  pre-existing  terms of the Series B Preferred
Stock the holders may, among other  things,  engage in  short  sales  of  Common
Stock up to the  amount  of  the  conversions  referenced  above.   The  Company
retains the right,  subject to certain  conditions,   to  redeem  for  cash  the
remaining   1,000  shares  of  Series  B  Preferred  Stock  ($10  million of the
original  $20  million  of stated  value issued).

Rule 4460 of the Nasdaq Stock Market

     Rule 4460 of the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. ("Rule 4460") sets forth certain
corporate  governance  standards  for  issuers,  such  as  the  Company,   whose
securities are listed on the Nasdaq National Market.  Rule 4460 requires,  among
other  things,  that the Company  obtain  shareholder  approval  for the sale or
issuance in a transaction  of a number of shares of Common Stock (or  securities
convertible  into  or  exchangeable  for  Common  Stock,  such as the  Series  B
Preferred  Stock and the Warrants) equal to or in excess of 20% of the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding prior to such transaction if such issuance is
for a purchase  price which is less than the greater of the book or market value
of the Common  Stock.  Because the Series B Preferred  Stock and  Warrants  were
issued under the same Securities Purchase Agreement to the same purchasers,  the
Company believes they would be treated as issued in a single transaction.  Under
the  Company's  Articles  of  Amendment  of  its  charter  for   the   Series  B
Preferred  Stock  and  under  the  terms of the  warrants,  the  Company  is not
obligated  to issue  shares of Common  Stock  upon  conversion  of the  Series B
Preferred  Stock or  exercise  of the  related  warrants  to the extent that the
issuance  would  cause the  Company to violate  Rule 4460 (the "Rule 4460 Cap").
Accordingly,  unless the Company  obtains  shareholder  approval or is no longer
subject  to Rule 4460,  then the  Company  is not  obligated  to issue more than
6,249,827  shares of Common  Stock upon  conversion  of the  Series B  Preferred
Stock, as payment of dividend thereon or upon exercise of the related  warrants,
which represents  19.99% of the 31,264,772 shares of Common Stock outstanding on
the closing date of June 30, 2000.

         Because  the  conversion  price of the  Series B  Preferred  Stock is a
floating price,  the conversion of the Series B Preferred  Stock, the payment of
dividends  thereon in shares of Common  Stock,  and the exercise of the Warrants
could, absent the Rule 4460 Cap, result in the issuance of a number of shares of
Common Stock  greater than 20% of the  outstanding  Common  Stock.  Accordingly,
the terms of the Series  B  Preferred  Stock  requires  that  the  Company  seek
shareholder  approval of the issuance of Common  Stock  under  Rule  4460  on or
prior to November  30, 2000 (the "Rule 4460 Approval") and provide  for  certain
consequences if the Company fails to obtain such approval.

Consequences of the Vote to Approve or Not  to  Approve  the  Issuance of Common
Stock Under Rule 4460

          If the Company obtains shareholder  approval of the issuance of Common
Stock upon  conversion of the Series B Preferred  Stock, in payment of dividends
thereon and upon exercise of the Warrants in excess of the Rule  4460  Cap,  the
existing holders of Common Stock will be subject to  further  dilution  as  Rule
4460 will no longer limit the number of shares of Common  Stock  that  would  be
subject to issuance.

          If we do  not  obtain  shareholder  approval  by  November  30,  2000,
regardless of whether or not Rule 4460 limits our ability to issue Common Stock,
under the terms of the Series B Preferred Stock:

o             we will be required to pay a daily penalty for each day thereafter
              until the  approval  is obtained in the amount of 2% of the amount
              of the liquidation  preference on the Series B Preferred Stock for
              a  period  of not  more  than 15  days in any one 365 day  period;
              provided,  that the total  payments  may not exceed the greater of
              $5,000,000  or such  larger  amount  as  would  not  constitute  a
              violation of our Indenture and Revolving Credit Agreement;

o             if the  failure  to obtain  shareholder  approval  results  in our
              inability  to issue Common  Stock upon a requested  conversion  of
              Series B Preferred Stock, in payment of dividends thereon, or upon
              exercise of the  Warrants,  we will be obligated to either  delist
              our Common Stock from the Nasdaq Stock Market or redeem the Series
              B  Preferred  Stock and warrants at a price  equal to, in the case
              of the Series B Preferred Stock, the greater of 125% of the stated
              value plus accrued and unpaid  dividends,  or  the  value  of  the
              Common Stock into which the  Series  B  Preferred  Stock  is  then
              convertible, or in  the  case  of  the  warrants,  the  difference
              between the  market price and the  exercise  price  of  the shares
              into which the warrants are then exercisable;

o             the  maximum  conversion  price for the Series B  Preferred  Stock
              (which is  currently  $12.00 per share) would be reduced to 68% of
              a percentage of the lowest closing bid price for  the Common Stock
              from  the    date of  the  failure  of  the  shareholder  approval
              until such approval  is  obtained  (or  the  applicable  Series  B
              Preferred Stock is converted);

o             we would lose the right to redeem or require the conversion of the
              Series B Preferred Stock;

o             we would lose the right to pay dividends on the Series B Preferred
              Stock through the issuance of Common Stock;

o             the  holders  of the  Series  B  Preferred  Stock  would  have the
              immediate  right to convert  any or all of the Series B  Preferred
              Stock into Common Stock;

o             all restrictions on the ability of the  holders of  the  Series  B
              Preferred Stock to engage in short sales would be eliminated; and

o             the lenders under our Revolving  Credit  Agreement and the holders
              of our Senior  Secured Notes could take the position that any cash
              dividends on, other  payments  with respect to, or redemption  of,
              the Series B Preferred Stock  constitute a breach of our agreement
              with such lenders or holders.

Therefore,  in the event that shareholder approval is not obtained,  the holders
of the Common Stock will be subject to substantial  dilution that is potentially
greater than the dilution that would be experienced  if shareholder  approval is
obtained, a substantial decrease in the liquidity of the market for Common Stock
and potentially a default under our Revolving Credit Agreement and Indenture.

Conversion Rate of the Series B Preferred Stock

          In general, each Series B Preferred Share is convertible into a number
of shares of Common Stock equal to:

                $10,000, plus accrued and unpaid dividends
           _______________________________________________
           Conversion Price

The  "Conversion  Price" is the  product  of (x) a  percentage  equal to 97% for
October 2000 and declining by 1% for each calendar  month  thereafter,  provided
that the  percentage  may not be less than 88%,  and (y) the lowest  closing bid
price for our Common Stock for the four  consecutive  trading days ending on and
including the conversion date.

         As of October 2, 2000, the Conversion  Price  was  $2.121875  and  the
number of shares of Common Stock we  would  have  been  required  to  issue upon
conversion of all 2,000 shares of Series B  Preferred  Stock  (ignoring  accrued
dividends and certain limitations on conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock)
was 9,425,626 representing, as  of  October  2, 2000,  23.1%  of  the  Company's
total  shares  of Common Stock  outstanding after such conversion.

Dividends

         The Series B Preferred  Stock  accrues  dividends at the rate of 6% per
annum, payable on January 1, 2001,  July 1, 2001  and  quarterly   thereafter or
upon  conversion or redemption.  At  the  Company's  option,  dividends  may  be
paid  in  cash  or  Common   Stock,  subject  to  the  satisfaction  of  certain
conditions.  If the Company chooses to pay dividends in Common Stock, the number
of  shares to be issued in payment of a dividend on the Series B Preferred Stock
will be equal to the accrued  dividends   divided  by  the  dividend  conversion
price. The dividend conversion price is equal to 95% of  the  average   of   the
closing   sale   prices  of  our  Common  Stock  during   the  five  consecutive
trading  days immediately preceding the dividend date.  As of October  2,  2000,
there  were  accrued  and  unpaid  dividends  of  $309,041,  which  if  paid  in
additional  shares  of  Common  Stock,  would  have  resulted  in  the  issuance
of  118,025  shares  of Common Stock, if the dividend date was October 2, 2000.



Additional  Information  Regarding  the  Terms  of  the Series B Preferred Stock
and Warrants

         The original terms of the Series B Preferred Stock and Warrants and the
related Securities Purchase Agreement, Warrant and Registration Rights Agreement
are described in the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations and in Note 6 to the Company's  Consolidated Financial
Statements,  which are included in the Annual  Report to  Shareholders  for 2000
enclosed  with this proxy  statement.  Copies of the relevant  documents for the
issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock were filed as exhibits to the Company's
Report on Form 8-K,  dated June 30, 2000.  The terms of the Waiver and Agreement
are  described  in, and the Waiver and  Agreement is filed as an exhibit to, the
Company's Report on Form 8-K, dated September 21, 2000.  Shareholders desiring a
more  complete  understanding  of these  securities  are  urged to refer to such
disclosures and exhibits.

     In connection  with the Company's  issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock
and the Warrants, the Company filed registration statements on Form S-3 with the
Securities and Exchange  Commission on July 26, 2000, and on September 27, 2000.
Those registration statements relate to the resale of the shares of Common Stock
that are issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock, in payment of
dividends thereon and upon exercise of the Warrants.

Vote Required

          The affirmative vote of the holders  of  a  majority of the votes cast
for and against this proposal by the  shareholders  at  the  annual meeting,  in
person or by proxy, is  required  for the approval of the issuance of the shares
pursuant to Rule 4460.

Recommendation of the Board of Directors

          The Board of Directors  believes that the approval by the shareholders
of the  issuance of the Common Stock upon  conversion  of the Series B Preferred
Stock,  the payment of dividends  thereon,  or upon the exercise of the Warrants
pursuant to Rule 4460, has the potential to  substantially  dilute the interests
of the existing holders of the Common Stock.  Nevertheless,  if the Company does
not obtain shareholder  approval necessary to issue the Common Stock pursuant to
Rule 4460,  the  holders of the  Common  Stock will be subject to the same,  and
potentially  greater,  dilution,  delisting  of the Common Stock from the Nasdaq
Stock  Market and a  substantial  decrease  in the  liquidity  of the market for
Common Stock,  and  potentially a default under the Company's  debt  securities.
Therefore,  in order to protect the  interests of the Company and the holders of
its Common  Stock,  the Board of Directors  has  determined  that  approving the
issuance of the Common Stock issuable upon  conversion of the Series B Preferred
Stock,  in payment of  dividends  thereon,  and upon  exercise  of the  Warrants
pursuant to Rule 4460 is advisable  and in the best  interest of the Company and
its shareholders.

THE BOARD OF  DIRECTORS  RECOMMENDS  A VOTE "FOR"  APPROVAL  OF THE  ISSUANCE OF
COMMON STOCK UPON  CONVERSION  OF THE COMPANY'S  SERIES B CONVERTIBLE  PREFERRED
STOCK,  IN PAYMENT OF  DIVIDENDS  THEREON  AND UPON  EXERCISE  OF THE  WARRANTS,
PURSUANT TO RULE 4460 OF THE NASDAQ STOCK MARKET.
