       During the fiscal years ended June 30, 1998, 1997 and 1996, no other

Company to any Named Person, the aggregate amount of which compensation, with
respect to any such person, exceeded the lesser of $50,000 or 10% of the annual

STOCK OPTION PLANS

       In October 1990, the Company adopted the 1990 Stock Option Plan (the
"1990 Plan") covering 250,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock, $.001 par
value, pursuant to which officers, Directors and key employees of the Company
are eligible to receive incentive and/or non-qualified stock options. In March
1992, the Company amended the 1990 Plan and increased the number of shares
reserved under the 1990 Plan from 250,000 shares to 400,000 shares. In January
1993, subject to shareholder approval which was obtained in May 1993, the Board
of Directors adopted the 1993 Stock Option Plan (the "1993 Plan") covering
250,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock $.001 par value, pursuant to which
officers, directors and key employees of the Company are eligible to receive
incentive and/or non-qualified stock options. In December 1993, the Company
amended the 1993 Plan and increased the number of shares reserved for issuance
thereunder by 350,000 shares, from 250,000 shares to 600,000 shares. In
December 1995, the Company amended the 1993 Plan and increased the number of
shares reserved for issuance thereunder by 250,000 shares, from 950,000 shares
to 1,200,000 shares. In December 1996, the Company amended the 1993 Plan and
increased the number of shares reserved for issuance thereunder by 400,000
shares, from 1,200,000 shares to 1,600,000 shares of Common Stock. On October
29, 1997, the number of shares in both plans, both authorized and outstanding,
was reduced by one-fifth to reflect a one-for-five reverse stock split. In
December 1997, the Company amended the 1993 Plan and increased the number of
shares reserved for issuance thereunder by 505,000 shares, from 320,000 shares
to 825,000 shares of Common Stock. The 1990 Plan expires on October 15, 2000
and the 1993 Plan expires on January 20, 2003.

       The 1990 Plan and the 1993 Plan (collectively, the "Plans") are
administered by a committee of the Board of Directors consisting of Messrs.
Thieme, Munoz, and Marshall. The selection of participants, allotment of
shares, determination of price and other conditions of purchase of any options
granted are determined by the Board or any such committee at its sole
discretion. The purpose of the Plans is to attract and retain persons
instrumental to the success of the Company. Incentive stock options granted
under the Plans are exercisable for a period of up to 10 years from the date of
grant at an exercise price which is not less than the fair market value of the
Common Stock on the date of the grant, except that the term of


                                       8
<PAGE>   9

an incentive stock option granted under the Plans to a stockholder owning more
than 10% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock may not be less than 110% of
the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of the grant nor for more
than five years.

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS

       Beginning January 1, 1998, directors who are not also employees of the
Company were authorized to receive annual cash compensation of $5,000 for
serving as directors, plus $500 for each non-telephonic meeting attended.

       Each of the directors who is not an employee of the Company (excluding
the Chairman) and is a director on January 31 each year is eligible for
automatic grants of options to purchase 10,000 shares per year at the fair
market value of such shares at such date, which options are exercisable for a
period of ten years.

       In November 1997, all directors except one were agreed to forfeit all of
their then outstanding stock options to purchase a total of 164,000 shares of
Common Stock at a weighted average exercise price of $18.30 per share. In
exchange, these directors each received a warrant to purchase shares of Common
Stock totaling 144,000 shares in the aggregate with an exercise price of $2.50
per share. These warrants expire on December 31, 2000. The options retained by
the one director were not repriced.

       In January 1998, Mr. Thieme was issued a warrant to purchase 333,334
shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.24 per share as compensation
for services rendered as Chairman of the Board of Directors. This warrant
expires on January 31, 2008.

REPRICING OF OPTIONS

       The Company's stock option plans have been utilized to provide
directors, executives and other key employees with increased motivation and
incentive to exert their best efforts on behalf of the Company through the
opportunity to benefit from appreciation in the value of the Common Stock. Due
to a decline in the price of the Common Stock in the year ended June 30, 1998,
certain options outstanding under the Company's various stock option plans were
exercisable at prices which were significantly in excess of the then current
market value of the Common Stock. On November 3, 1997, all options outstanding
were repriced to $2.00, the market value of the common stock on that date. This
re-pricing was done to once again provide incentive value for the options, as
the exercise price of all options had increased by a factor of five when the
one-for-five reverse stock split became effective on October 29,1997. The
exercise price of options prior to the repricing ranged from $2.75 to $4.00,
with the weighted-average exercise price of $3.56, or $17.80 after the reverse
split. The re-pricing effected the exercise price of 195,000 post-split shares
of options granted to directors of the Company. An aggregate of 20,000 and
65,000 options held by Messrs. DeBee and Sullivan,


                                       9
<PAGE>   10

respectively, with respective weighted average exercise prices of $13.75 and
$17.50 were repriced.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS

       In January 1996, Gerald F. Sullivan, former President, Chief Executive
Officer, and a Director of the Company, entered into a two-year employment
agreement automatically renewing for successive one-year periods with the
Company which provided for a base annual salary of $100,000. In October 1996,
the base annual salary was increased to $136,000. Mr. Sullivan was also
provided with a leased vehicle with monthly lease payments of $565. In December
1997, the Board of Directors provided notice to Mr. Sullivan this employment
agreement would not be renewed. On June 12, 1998, Mr. Sullivan resigned from
the Company and his employment agreement was terminated. Mr. Sullivan continued
to receive all employee benefits, including salary, until September 11, 1998,
as compensation for consulting services rendered during that period.

       In October 1997, Mr. DeBee, then Chief Operating Officer, and Mr. 
Farrahar, Chief Financial Officer, entered into two year employment agreements
with automatically renewing one year terms at base annual salaries of $150,000
and $100,000, respectively. In November 1997, Mr. DeBee was named President of
the Company.

ITEM 12.              CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

       On August 15, 1994, the Company advanced $100,000 to Samuel R. Dunlap,
Jr., then a Director of the Company. In August 1997, the Company extended the
maturity date on the advance to November 30, 1999, and entered into a
consulting agreement with Mr. Dunlap for a term of approximately two years.
Compensation due pursuant to the consulting agreement is used to offset the
principal and interest due on the advance.

        Prior to June 5, 1998, The Global Opportunity Fund Limited (the
"Global") held secured promissory notes issued by the Company in the aggregate
principal amount of $2,100,000, each of which provided for interest at the
annual rate of 10% (the "Notes"). The

Notes were convertible 550,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at a
weighted average price of $2.00 per share. In connection with such loans, the
Company paid aggregate commissions of $35,000 to Thieme Securities, Inc. On
June 5, 1998, Global converted the Notes into 21,000 shares of the Company's
Series C 10% Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Shares")
and a Common Stock Purchase Warrant (the "Warrant"). On June 4 and June 5,
1998, the closing bid prices of the Common Stock on Nasdaq were $.875 and
$1.00, respectively. The Company has agreed to use its best efforts to effect
the registration under the Securities Act of 1933 and registration or
qualification under all applicable state securities laws of the Common Stock
issuable, or other securities that may become issuable, upon conversion of the
Preferred Shares and exercise of the Warrant before September 30, 1998 at the
expense of the Company. The Company is delinquent in such obligation although
the Company does not believe that such delinquency will materially adversely
affect the Company. The Company believes that such expense will be
approximately $20,000. Reference is made to Note 8 of Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements.

       Heiko H. Thieme is the President of both Global and its investment
advisor and sole shareholder of such investment advisor. Marvin Bolt is a Vice
President of such investment advisor. Global's investment advisor receives
compensation which is based upon the value of Global's assets and Global's
performance. Messrs. Thieme and Bolt are both members of the Company's Board of
Directors and Mr. Thieme is the Chairman of such Board of Directors.

       Taglich Brothers, D'Amadeo, Wagner & Co., Inc. provided consulting
services to the Company from November 1997 to May 1998 for which it received an
aggregate of $70,000. Such firm also acted as the Placement Agent for the
Company's sale of 11% Preferred Stock for which it received a commission of
$167,000.
