SECTION 16 REQUIREMENTS
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, requires the Company's directors and officers, and
persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of the
Company's equity securities, to file initial reports of
ownership and reports of changes in ownership with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").  Such persons
are required by SEC regulations to furnish the Company with
copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

Based solely on its review of the copies of such forms received
by it with respect to fiscal 1995, or written representations
from certain reporting persons, the Company believes that all of
its directors, officers and persons who own more than 10% of a
registered class of the Company's equity securities complied

transactions during 1995.

"1993 Director Plan"), subject to approval by the Company's

a stock option for 20,000 shares of Common Stock to each member
of the Company's Board of Directors who is neither an employee
nor officer of the Company.  An option was granted to each of
Messrs. Gerson and Lyon, the two members of the Board of
Directors entitled to participate in the 1993 Director Plan.

market value on the date of grant.  Each director can currently
exercise an option to purchase up to 15,000 shares of Common
Stock.

revenues as the Company.  The Chief Executive Officer is

thereafter. The Company does not have employment agreements with
