                COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(a) OF THE EXCHANGE ACT

         Section  16(a) of the  Securities  Exchange  Act of 1934  requires  the
Company's officers and directors, and persons who own more than ten percent of a
registered  class  of the  Company's  equity  securities,  to  file  reports  of
ownership and changes in ownership with the  Securities and Exchange  Commission
(the SEC").  Officers,  directors and greater than ten-percent  shareholders are
required by SEC  regulation  to furnish  the Company  with copies of all Section
16(a) forms they file.

         Based solely on its review of the copies of such forms  received by it,
or written  representations  from certain reporting persons that no Forms 5 were
required for those persons,  the Company  believes that,  during the period from
April 1, 1996 through March 31, 1997, all filing requirements  applicable to its
officers,  directors,  and  greater  than  ten-percent  beneficial  owners  were
complied  with,  except each of Barry  Schwach,  R.  Bradley  Pike,  and Dana C.
Prescott,  officers of the Company reported an option grant on a Form 5 that was
not timely filed.

Schwach,  the Company's  Executive Vice President of Finance and  Administration

President - National Vendor Programs.  These agreements  assured Mr. Schwach and
Mr.  King  minimum  compensation  of at least  $115,000  and  $95,000  per year,
respectively. These agreements also provide that if, prior to February 13, 1997,
such officer's employment is terminated without cause or his title or duties are
adversely  changed  without his consent,  then such  individual  will be paid an
amount equal to his assured  minimum  compensation  for the remaining  period to
February 13, 1997.

         On November 14, 1996,  the Company  entered into a severance  agreement
and release (the  "Agreement")  with William B. King, the Company's  former Vice
President - National Vendor Programs,  in connection with Mr. King's resignation

through March 31, 1998, he would not (i) compete with the Company, (ii) disclose
confidential  information  relating  to the  Company,  (iii)  solicit any of the
Company's  employees to leave the Company,  (iv) contact the Company's customers
or (v) cause the discontinuance of the Company's business.

employed by the Company; provided, however, that the vesting of such option will
be accelerated prior to June 16, 1999 if certain conditions are met.

equal to 100% of the  current  market  price on the date of  grant:  (i)  10,000

ITEM 13.  CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS.

         The Company has adopted a policy of not entering into  transactions  in
which any  officer,  director,  shareholder  or  affiliate  of the Company has a
material  financial  interest  unless the  transaction  has been  approved  by a
majority  of  the   disinterested   directors  of  the  Company   based  upon  a
determination  that the terms of such  transactions are no less favorable to the
Company than those which could be obtained from unaffiliated third parties.  The
Company has entered into the  following  transactions  in which  directors had a
material financial interest:

         Harmony  Brook--In  fiscal 1994, the Company  entered into a $2,000,000
         line  of  credit  with  Harmony  Brook  of  which  Mr.  Brattain  is  a
         shareholder,  Chairman and Director.  As of March 31, 1997,  $1,355,000
         was  outstanding.  The  line is  used  by  Harmony  Brook  to fund  the
         expansion of its business  operations and is  collateralized by certain
         assets of Harmony Brook.

         Gift  Certificate  Centers--As  of March 31,  1997,  the  Company had a
         direct-financing  lease outstanding with Gift Certificate  Centers,  of
         which Mr. Brattain is a principal  shareholder.  The net asset value at
         year-end was $113,795.

         The King Management Corporation--The Company had a note in the original
         principal  amount  of  $11,733,000   payable  to  The  King  Management
         Corporation,  a majority of the common stock of which is owned by Peter
         J. King. This note was collateralized by certain rental equipment which
         is  presently  on  lease  to  various  customers.  The  note was due in
