written representations from certain reporting persons that no Forms 5 were

1) On September 30, 1998, the Company awarded each of its employees a $1,000
bonus. On November 14, 1996, the Company awarded each of its employees 20
shares of the Company's Common Stock. The fiscal year 1997 bonuses are the
value of the stock at the time of the gift.
2) The Company has in effect a 401(k) profit sharing plan and life insurance
plan that covers substantially all of its employees, including executive
officers. The profit sharing component of the plan is funded by employer
contributions at a uniform percentage of salary as set annually by the Board
of Directors. No profit sharing contributions were made during the three-year
period ended September 30, 1998. The 401(k) component of the plan allows
qualified employees to contribute between 1% and 12% of their compensation.
The plan calls for employer matching of contributions as determined by the Board
of Directors. Contributions under the plan vest 33 1/3 percent for each year of
credited service. The Company also provides life insurance coverage at one
times the employee's annual base salary.
STOCK OPTION PLANS
The Company has three stock option plans in place as described below.
1990 Stock Option Plan
Under the Company's 1990 Stock Option Plan (the "1990 Plan"), options to acquire
up to 80,000 shares of Common Stock may be granted to employees and employee
directors. To the extent that existing options are canceled without exercise,
such as at termination of employment, such options become available for grant
in the future.
The 1990 Plan is administered by the Stock Option Committee, which may determine
whether the particular options are incentive stock options or nonqualified stock
options, and may also determine eligible participants and the number of shares
subject to each grant of options.
The exercise price of the options is 100 percent of fair market value of the
shares on the date of the grant (110 percent for incentive stock options granted
to a person holding more than 10 percent of the voting power of the Company's
stock). The options are subject to a vesting schedule. One-third of the
options becomes exercisable one year after the date of the grant, and the
remainder pro rata over the following 24 months. Options are exercisable for
a period of ten years from the grant
5
<PAGE>
date (five years in the case of incentive stock options granted to employees
who hold more than ten percent of the voting power of the Company's stock).
Upon termination of employment, all options that have not yet become
exercisable shall be forfeited; vested options may remain exercisable for a
specified time period, the length of which is dependent upon the reason for the
employment termination. Upon exercise, the exercise price may be paid in cash
or in Common Stock of the Company.
1992 Stock Option Plan
Under the Company's 1992 Stock Option Plan (the "1992 Plan"), options to acquire
up to 100,000 shares of Common Stock may be granted in the form of nonqualified
stock options to employees, including officers and directors who are employees.
If any award terminates, expires, or lapses, the related stock shall again
become available for grant.
The 1992 Plan is administered by the Stock Option Committee. It has the
authority (i) to select employees to whom awards are granted; (ii) to
determine the size of awards; (iii) to determine the terms and conditions of
such awards in a manner consistent with the 1992 Plan; (iv) to interpret
the 1992 Plan and any instrument or agreement entered into under the 1992 Plan;
(v) to establish such rules and regulations relating to the administration of
the 1992 Plan as it deems appropriate; and (vi) to make all other determinations
which may be necessary or advisable for the administration of the 1992 Plan.
The purchase price per share under any option shall be 100 percent of the fair
market value of a share of Company stock on the date of grant. The term of each
option shall be fixed by the Committee, provided that no option shall have a
term extending beyond ten years from the date the option is granted. Options
shall be subject to such terms and conditions, and shall be exercisable at such
time or times, as determined by the Committee, provided, however, that no option
shall become exercisable any earlier than 12 months after the date of grant.
Generally, it is expected that options will become exercisable one-third after
12 months, and the remainder pro rata over the following 24 months. Options
shall be exercised by payment of the purchase price in cash, in previously
acquired shares of Company stock, or in some combination thereof. Upon
termination of employment, all options that have not yet become exercisable
shall be forfeited; vested options may remain exercisable for a specified time
period, the length of which is dependent upon the reason for the employment
termination.
Nonemployee Directors Stock Option Plan
Under the Nonemployee Directors Plan, options to acquire up to 20,000 shares
of Common Stock may be granted in the form of nonqualified stock options to
outside directors. If any award terminates, expires, or lapses, the related
stock shall again become available for grant.
The Nonemployee Directors Plan provides for the automatic grant of nonqualified
stock options to outside directors each year on the date of the annual meeting
of stockholders. Any nonemployee Director initially elected to the Board by the
stockholders shall on that date receive options to purchase 2,400 shares of
Common Stock. Any nonemployee Director reelected to the Board by the
Stockholders shall on that date receive options to purchase 500 shares of
Common Stock. Persons appointed by the remainder of the Board to fill a
vacancy on the Board will not receive such options until such time as they are
elected or reelected by the stockholders.
The Nonemployee Directors Plan Committee has the authority, subject to the
nondiscretionary features of the Plan, (i) to interpret the Plan and any
instrument or agreement entered into under the Plan; (ii) to establish such
rules and regulations relating to the administration of the Plan as it deems
appropriate; and (iii) to make all other determinations which may be necessary
or advisable for the administration of the Plan.
The purchase price per share under any option shall be 100 percent of the fair
market value of a share of Company stock on the date of grant. The term of each
option shall be ten years from the date the option is granted. No option shall
become exercisable any earlier than 12 months after the date of grant. Options
will become exercisable one-third after 12 months, and the remainder pro rata
over the following 24 months. Options shall be exercised by payment of the
purchase price in cash, in previously acquired shares of Company stock, or in
some combination thereof. Upon termination of a director's term of office, all
options that have not yet become exercisable shall be forfeited; vested options
may remain exercisable for a specified time period, the length of which is
dependent upon the reason for the termination of the director's term.

Common Elements of the Plans
Nontransferable
No award or shares subject to an award may be assigned, transferred, pledged,
or otherwise encumbered by a participant, other than by will or by the laws of
descent and distribution, or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order.
Only the participant may exercise each award during the participant's lifetime.
Change in Control
In order to protect all of the participants' rights in the event of a Change in
Control (as defined below) of the Company, the options granted under the plans
provide for the immediate vesting of all outstanding options upon such event.
A Change in Control of the Company shall be deemed to have occurred if any one
or more of the following conditions are fulfilled: (i) any person or entity
acquires 50 percent or more of the voting securities of the Company; (ii)
during any fiscal year, a majority of the members of the Board of Directors
are replaced; or (iii) the stockholders approve a plan of complete liquidation,
an agreement for sale or disposition of substantially all of the Company's
assets, or a materially dilutive merger or consolidation of the Company.
However, in no event shall a Change in Control be deemed to occur, with respect
to a participant, if that participant is a material equity participant of the
purchasing group that consummates a Change in Control.
Non-dilution
In the event of a change in the corporate structure that affects the shares
(e.g., a merger, re-capitalization, stock split, stock dividend, etc.), the
Committee shall make adjustments to the number of shares available to the Plans
and to the number and/or price of outstanding awards to prevent dilution or
enlargement of rights. This Non-dilution provision was exercised on
June 30, 1997, to take into consideration the impact of the one for five reverse
stock split executed on that date. All stock option numbers and prices within
this proxy statement have accordingly been retroactively restated.
________________________________________________________________________________
At December 31, 1998, options to purchase an aggregate of 145,946 shares were
held by 47 persons, at exercise prices of from $2.31 to $46.25 per share.
No options to purchase the Company's common stock were granted during the fiscal
year ended September 30, 1998 to the persons named in the Summary Compensation
Table.
The following table provides certain information concerning exercises of options
to purchase the Company's Common Stock in the fiscal year ended September 30,

INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
The stockholders are not being asked to approve the selection of the Company's
independent public accountants for fiscal 1999, only because such approval is
no longer required. The selection will be made by the Audit Committee of the
Board of Directors, who at this time do not foresee a reason to change.
The audit of the Company for the year ended September 30, 1998, was conducted
by KPMG Peat Marwick LLP. A representative from such firm is expected to be
present at the meeting to answer appropriate questions, but does not intend to
make a statement.
MANNER IN WHICH PROXIES WILL BE VOTED
The Company proposes to vote the proxies for the election of each of the above
named five nominees to the Board, each to hold office until the next annual
meeting and until his successor is elected and has qualified. In the event
that any nominee is not available to serve as a director at the time of the
election (which the Company has no reason to anticipate), proxies may be voted
for such substitute nominees as the Company may propose.
The Board proposes the following resolution amending the Certificate of
Incorporation. This resolution eliminates the Class B common and the preferred
stock. No shares of either of these classes have been issued or outstanding.
This purpose of elimination is to reduce annual fees to the state of Delaware.
This will leave only the two million (2,000,000) shares of Common Stock in the
capital structure. The officers will need to execute such documents as required
to effectuate the resolution.
RESOLVED, that Section 4.1 of Article 4 of the Restated Certificate of
Incorporation of the corporation shall be amended to read as follows:
"ARTICLE 4 -- CAPITAL STOCK
4.1 The aggregate number of shares of stock the corporation has authority to
issue shall be Two Million (2,000,000) shares, all of which shall be classified
as Common Stock with a par value of ten cents ($0.10) per share."
RESOLVED FURTHER, that the officers of the Corporation are empowered and
authorized to perform any and all acts and execute any and all notices or
documents necessary to effectuate the above resolution.
The Board knows of no other matter to be presented at the meeting. However,
if any other matter properly comes before the meeting, the persons named in the
proxy form enclosed will vote in accordance with their judgment upon such
matters. Stockholders who do not expect to attend in person are urged to
execute and return the enclosed proxy card promptly.
PROPOSALS OF STOCKHOLDERS
The Company's next Annual Meeting is expected to be held during the second
quarter (January, February, March) of fiscal year 2000 at a time and date to be
determined by the Board of Directors. Proposals of stockholders to be presented
at that meeting must be received at the Company's executive offices no later
than September 30, 1999, for inclusion in the proxy statement.
GENERAL
The Company will provide to any stockholder, without charge, upon written
request to the Secretary of the Company, a copy of the Company's annual report
on Form 10-KSB for fiscal year 1998, without exhibits.
