    COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(a) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934
 
     Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act")
requires the Company's Directors and executive officers, and persons who own
more than ten percent of a registered class of the Company's equity securities,
to file by specific dates with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"SEC") initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of
Common Stock and other equity securities of the Company. Officers, Directors and
greater than ten-percent stockholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish
the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. The Company is
required to report in this proxy statement any failure of its Directors and
executive officers to file by relevant due date any of these reports during the
preceding fiscal year.
 
     To the Company's knowledge, based solely on review of the copies of such
reports furnished to the Company and written representations that no other
reports were required, during the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996, all
Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to the Company's officers,
Directors and greater than ten-percent beneficial owners were satisfied, except
that XL Vision Inc. is delinquent in filing its initial report on Form 3.
 
                      NOMINATION AND ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
                                    (ITEM 1)
 
     It is proposed to elect four directors at the meeting, all of whom are
currently directors, who will serve until the next Annual Meeting of
Stockholders or until his successor shall have been elected and qualified.
 
     It is the intention of the parties named in the enclosed proxy to vote the
shares represented thereby for the election of the nominees indicated below
unless the proxy is marked otherwise. Each nominee has agreed to serve as a
director if elected, and the Company has no reason to believe that any nominee
will be unable to serve. The persons named in the accompanying proxy may act
with discretionary authority to vote for a new management nominee should any
nominee named in the Proxy Statement become unavailable for election, although
management is unaware of any circumstances likely to render any nominee
unavailable for election. The election of directors will require the affirmative
vote of a majority of the shares of Common Stock present or represented by proxy
at the meeting and entitled to vote thereon.
