Compensation of Directors

It has been the  Company's  practice,  starting  in 1987,  to  conserve  cash by
compensating  directors for their services  primarily through the grant of stock
options and shares of Common


                                        7
<PAGE>


Stock. In 1991 a Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee  Directors (the "1991 Plan")
was  adopted.  The 1991 Plan  expired in 1997 and was replaced by the 1997 Stock
Option Plan for Non-Employee  Directors (the "1997 Plan"). A summary description
of the 1997 Plan is set forth below under the  heading  "1997 Stock  Option Plan
for Non-Employee Directors."

Under the 1997  Plan each  director  in  office on July 1, 1998  received  3,600
options  (10,800  in the  case of the  Chairman)  for  services  as a  director,
exercisable  at $7.625,  the fair market value of the Company's  Common Stock on
July 1, 1998, the date of grant. These options shall expire on July 1, 2006.

The 3,600 options  (10,800 in the case of the Chairman)  granted on July 1, 1999
under the 1997 Plan to each director in office on such date are  exercisable  at
$7.03,  the fair market  value of the  Company's  Common  Stock on July 1, 1999.
These options shall expire on July 1, 2007.

Each director in office on July 1, 1998 also became  entitled to receive for his
services  during  fiscal  1999  shares of Common  Stock  with a value of $10,000
($30,000 in the case of the  Chairman)  based on the average of the high and low
market  prices per share on the first day of each  quarter in fiscal  year 1999,
which was $7.367.  Therefore,  the directors received 1,357 shares (4,072 shares
in the case of the Chairman) for fiscal 1999.

Each  director in office on July 1, 1999 is entitled to receive for his services
during  fiscal 2000 shares of Common  Stock with a value of $10,000  ($30,000 in
the case of the Chairman) based on the average of the high and low market prices
per share on the first day of each quarter in fiscal year 2000.

The members of the Compensation Committee and Audit Committee receive $1,500 for
each meeting attended.

1997 Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors

The 1997 Stock  Option Plan for  Non-Employee  Directors  (the "1997  Plan") was
adopted by the Board of Directors in June 1997 and subsequently  approved by the
Company's shareholders at the January 1998 Annual Meeting. Under the plan, 3,600
options are granted annually to each non-employee director in office on July 1st
(10,800  shares in the case of the  Chairman)  for their service in the upcoming
fiscal year. Options granted under this plan are exercisable at 100% of the fair
market  value on the date of grant  and are for  terms of eight  years.  Options
issued  under the 1997 Plan vest in two equal  installments  on the first day of
the seventh  month of the fiscal  year in which  issued and the first day of the
following  fiscal  year,  provided  that the  director  is then in office or has
retired  or is out of office by reason  of ill  health or death.  Newly  elected
directors  receive options for 1,800 shares for each six-month  period remaining
in the fiscal year in which they are elected.

Employment Agreements

Employee  agreements covering the 2000 fiscal year for executive officers of the
Company are currently under  consideration by the Compensation  Committee of the
Board of Directors.

1992 Equity Incentive Plan



                                       8
<PAGE>


Plan. Options  previously granted and currently  outstanding under the 1982 Plan
generally  vest and become  exercisable  in monthly  installments  over a two or
three-year period, with each installment  remaining  exercisable for a five-year
period after it vests.  No options  intended to be incentive stock options under
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 are currently outstanding.

Awards  granted  under the 1992 Equity  Incentive  Plan (the  "Equity  Incentive
Plan") may include a wide range of Common Stock-based awards. Officers and other
employees of the Company are  eligible to  participate  in the Equity  Incentive
Plan. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued under the
Equity  Incentive  Plan at any  time  is 20% of the  outstanding  shares  of the
Company's  Common Stock,  except that no more than 500,000  shares may be issued
pursuant to incentive  stock  options.  No awards may be granted  after the year
2002.  The term of each  stock  option may not exceed ten years from the date of
grant.  The  option  price of each  stock  option  is  payable  in cash,  at the
discretion of the option  committee in shares of the Company's  Common Stock, or
by a combination  thereof.  Certain options under the Equity Incentive Plan held
by former key employees of Informedics and issued to replace options to purchase
shares of Informedics are incentive stock options. Otherwise no options intended
to be  incentive  stock  options  under the  Internal  Revenue  Code of 1986 are
current outstanding.

All options under the Equity  Incentive Plan have  provisions  which,  generally
speaking, accelerate vesting in the event of a change of control of the Company.
Options granted under the Equity Incentive Plan which accelerate  vesting upon a
change in control could be an "anti-takeover  defense"  because,  as a result of
these provisions,  a change in control of the Company could be more difficult or
costly.  This however,  was not the  Company's  intention in adopting the Equity
Incentive Plan.
