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, directors and persons who beneficially own more
than ten percent of the Company's  Common Stock to file reports of ownership and
changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Pacific
Stock Exchange. These reporting persons also are required to furnish the Company
with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.  To the  Company's  knowledge,
based  solely on its  review of the  copies of such  forms  furnished  to it and
representations  that no other reports were required,  the Company believes that
all Section 16(a)  reporting  requirements  were complied with during the fiscal
year ended June 30, 1995.

Compensation Arrangements

            Chief Executive Officer.  Through September 30, 1993, Richard Barrie
was employed pursuant to an employment  agreement providing for an annual salary
of $150,000  and  reimbursement  (up to $8,000 per year) for the cost of private
life insurance maintained by Mr. Barrie for the benefit of his family. Effective
October 1, 1993, the Company entered into a new three-year  employment agreement
with Mr. Barrie  pursuant to which he would be paid an annual salary of $180,000
per year, which increased to $225,000 effective December 15, 1994, following the
Company's  completion of its transaction with Muelhens Inc., with annual cost of
living  adjustments  based upon the consumer  price index.  The  agreement  also
provided for the Company to reimburse Mr. Barrie (up to $8,000 per year) for the
cost of private life insurance through June 30, 1994. In August 1994 the Company
purchased for Mr. Barrie a $6,000,000  "split  dollar"  insurance  policy on his
life, which provides a $3,000,000 "key man" death benefit payable to the Company
and a $3,000,000 death benefit payable to Mr. Barrie's designated beneficiaries.
The policy is structured to provide for repayment of the premiums to the Company
upon the  earlier  of Mr.  Barrie's  death or  attainment  of the age of 67. The
policy is further  structured  to provide Mr.  Barrie with a retirement  benefit
from the cash surrender value of the policy.

            Directors.  In September 1993, the Company adopted the  Non-Employee
Director  Compensation  Plan for all  directors  not  employed  by the  Company.
Pursuant  to this  Compensation  Plan,  on  September  20,  1993,  the four then
non-employee directors of the Company -- Mrs. Barrie and Messrs. McEnany, Nadler
and Pochna -- were each granted  ten-year  options to purchase  15,000 shares of
Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.25 per share


                                                            4

(the closing price of the Common Stock on the Pacific Stock Exchange on the date
of the grant).  The options are  exercisable  as follows:  33-1/3%  immediately,
33-1/3% on the first  anniversary of the grant and the remaining 33- 1/3% on the
second  anniversary.  On February 2, 1994, this Compensation Plan was amended to
provide  for  payment of $500 to each  non-employee  director of the Company for
each meeting  attended.  In February  1995,  Patrick  McEnany  resigned from the
Company's Board of Directors after several years of service. In consideration of
his services to the Company, on February 21, 1995, the Company was authorized to
amend the terms of the  September  20,  1993  Stock  Option  Agreement  with Mr.
McEnany  pursuant to which he was granted  ten-year  options to purchase  15,000
shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.25 per share.  Under the terms
of the original  agreement,  such options  were to expire  immediately  upon his
resignation  (with  respect  to options  not then  exercisable)  or thirty  days
thereafter (with respect to options then  exercisable).  The amendment  modified
such terms to eliminate such expiration provision.  In addition, the Company was
authorized to grant "piggy-back"  registration rights with respect to the shares
of Common Stock  issuable upon exercise of such options,  such that these shares
would be included in certain future registration statements filed by the Company
under the Securities Act of 1933 without cost to Mr. McEnany. On April 17, 1995,
the  exercise  price of the options held by Mrs.  Barrie and Messrs.  Nadler and
Pochna (Mr.  McEnany  having  resigned from the Board of Directors by that time)
were reduced to $1.4375,  the closing price of the Company's Common Stock on the
Pacific Stock Exchange on such date.

            Option Grants to Executive Officers.  On April 17, 1995, the Company
granted  ten-year  options  to  purchase  25,000  shares of  Common  Stock at an
exercise  price of $1.4375 (the closing price of the Common Stock on the Pacific
Stock  Exchange  on the date of grant) to Mr.  Barrie  and  similar  options  to
purchase  10,000  shares of Common Stock to each of Messrs.  Buvel,  Mahoney and
Stein, Vice Presidents of the Company.  Such options were to become  exercisable
as to 50% on each of the first and second  anniversary  dates of the  grant.  In
October  1995,  all  of  these  options  were  voluntarily  relinquished  by the
grantees.
