/3/ This figure is the total number of shares of Common Stock of the Issuer
owned or controlled by the reporting person as of October 18, 1999. On
October 8, 1999, U-C Holdings, L.L.C. ("Holdings"), majority stockholder of
the Issuer, purchased 33,333 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock

Series A Preferred. Pursuant to the Plan, the 309,998 shares of Convertible
Preferred Holdings owns were reclassified on a one-for-one basis into

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
- ------- -------------------------------------------------
The funds used to acquire the Series A Preferred of the Issuer described in
Item 5 below were taken from the equity contributions to capital of Holdings
made by its members. The purchase price of the Series A Preferred reported
herein pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (described in Item 4) executed by and
between the Issuer and Holdings was $2,800,000.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
- ------- ----------------------
On October 8, 1999, the Issuer issued to Holdings 33,333 shares of Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock, $.001 par value per share ("Series A Preferred")
for an aggregate purchase price of $500,000 pursuant to the Purchase Agreement
between Holdings and the Issuer dated August 31, 1999 (the "Purchase
Agreement"). On October 18, 1999, Holdings purchased an additional 153,334
shares of Series A Preferred for an aggregate purchase price of $2,300,000
pursuant an Amended and Restated Purchase Agreement ("Amended Purchase
Agreement"), between the Issuer and Holdings, dated October 18, 1999. The
purpose of Holdings' purchase of shares was to enable the Issuer to raise
$2,800,000 in gross proceeds needed for the Issuer's working capital needs and
investment in e-palette, inc., a New York corporation. Additionally, the Amended
Purchase Agreement provides that the Issuer has the option to sell to Holdings,
subject to various conditions within the control of Holdings, before August 31,
2000, an additional 613,333 shares of Series A Preferred for an aggregate
purchase price of $9,200,000 and Holdings has the option to purchase up to an
additional 400,000 shares of Series A Preferred if it contributes up to
$6,000,000 pursuant to its guarantee of a loan to Armed Forces Communications,
Inc.("Armed Forces"), a New York corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Issuer, from
<PAGE>
Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce ("CIBC") and its affiliates, pursuant to a
Credit Agreement by and among Armed Forces, CIBC and its affiliates, dated as of
August 31, 1999.
The conversion ratio of the Series A Preferred into Common Stock is
computed by multiplying the number of shares of Series A Preferred to be
converted by the $15.00 per share purchase price and dividing the result by the
conversion price of the Series A Preferred (the "Conversion Price") then in
effect with respect to such shares. On the date of issuance, the Conversion
Price was set at $4.50. As of the date hereof the Series A Preferred is non-
voting stock; however, after the effective date of a Schedule 14C Information
Statement to be sent to the stockholders of the Issuer in connection with the
issuance of the Series A Preferred, it gains the right to vote on an as-
converted basis to Common Stock based upon the number of shares of Common Stock
the Series A Preferred is convertible into on the date of issuance or 622,224
shares of voting stock.
The share numbers set forth herein reflect (i) the shares issuable upon
conversion of the shares of Series A Preferred purchased by Holdings pursuant to
the Purchase Agreement (including those shares purchased on August 31, 1999 and
October 8, 1999, totaling 1,033,333 shares of Series A Preferred), (ii) the
shares issuable upon conversion of the shares of Series A Preferred purchased by
Holdings pursuant to the Amended Purchase Agreement, (iii) the Issuer's option
to issue an additional 613,333 shares of Series A Preferred to Holdings, (iv)
the shares issuable upon conversion of the reclassified 309,998 shares of Series
A Preferred purchased by Holdings on July 23, 1999, and (v) the exercise the
Warrants issued to Holdings by the Issuer on October 5, 1998 and on April 25,
1997. The persons identified in response to Item 2 of this Statement will make
the determination as to when or whether to convert the Series A Preferred.
While they reserve the right to develop plans or proposals in the future
regarding the following items, at the present time none of the persons
identified in response to Item 2 of this Statement have any plans or proposals
which relate to or would result in any of the following, except as to the
planned acquisition of the additional Series A Preferred under the Amended
Purchase Agreement before December 31, 1999:
(a) the acquisition of additional securities of the Issuer, or the
disposition of securities of the Issuer (except as set forth above);
(b) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger,
reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries;
(c) sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or any of
its subsidiaries;
(d) any change in the present board of directors or management of the
Issuer, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of
directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board;
(e) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of
the Issuer;
(f) any other material change in the Issuer's business or corporate
structure;
(g) any changes in the Issuer's charter, bylaws or instruments
corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of
control of the Issuer by any person;
(h) causing a class of securities of the Issuer to be delisted from a
national securities exchange or cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-
dealer quotation system of a registered national security association;
<PAGE>
(i) a class of equity securities of the Issuer becoming eligible for
termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Exchange Act; or
(j) any action similar to those enumerated above.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
- ------- ------------------------------------
(a) Immediately prior to the consummation of the Amended Purchase
Agreement, there were 14,411,755 shares of the Issuer's Common Stock
outstanding, of which Holdings directly owned 11,576,612 shares, or 80.3% of the
outstanding Common Stock. On of the date of issuance, if Holdings were to (i)
convert all of the shares of Series A Preferred it now holds or has the option
to purchase (including those shares purchased on August 31, 1999, October 8,
1999 and October 18, 1999), (ii) convert the 309,998 shares of reclassified
Series A Preferred it now holds, and (iii) exercise the Warrants it holds,

shares of the Common Stock, or 87.3% of the Issuer's outstanding Common Stock.

Gill and Daniel H. Blumenthal (collectively, the "Founding Members"), as the

Founding Member of Willis Stein & Partners, L.L.C., the general partner of
Willis Stein & Partners L.P., which is the Managing Member of Holdings.

such persons' status as Managers and/or Founding Members of Willis Stein &
Partners, L.L.C., the general partner of Willis Stein & Partners, L.P., which is

and purchased by Holdings described herein, there were no transactions in the

of ERISA.

lawsuit.
