BOARD AND COMMITTEE ACTIVITY: STRUCTURE AND COMPENSATION

         The Company's operations are managed under the broad supervision of the
Board of Directors, which has ultimate responsibility for the establishment and
implementation of the Company's general operating philosophy, objectives, goals
and policies. During 1996, the Board of Directors convened on two regular
occasions. Each director attended all of the meetings held by the Board or
meetings of Board committees of which he was a member during his tenure in 1996,
except for Charles J. Anderson who attended no Board of Directors meetings and
all Committee meetings of which he was a member. During 1996, directors received
no cash compensation for attendance at Board or Committee meetings. Directors
are, however, entitled to reimbursement for reasonable travel expenses incurred
in attending such meetings. In 1996, each non-employee director (Messrs.
Anderson, Kenney and Madden and Ms. Shuler) was awarded under the Company's 1995
Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan (the "Director Plan") options to
purchase 5,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at $4.06 per share. Employee
directors are eligible to participate in the Company's 1994 Amended and Restated
Incentive Stock Plan (the "Employee Plan"). Non-employee directors are entitled
to participate in the Director Plan.

         Pursuant to delegated authority, various Board functions are discharged
by the standing committees of the Board. The Audit Committee of the Board of
Directors, currently composed of Messrs. Brock and Anderson and Ms. Shuler,
makes recommendations to the Board of Directors concerning the selection and
engagement of the Company's independent public accountants and reviews the scope
of the annual audit, audit fees and results of the audit. The Audit Committee
also reviews and discusses with management and the Board of Directors such
matters as accounting policies, internal accounting controls and procedures for
preparation of financial statements. The Audit Committee convened on one
occasion in 1996. The Compensation Committee sets the compensation for
executive, managerial and technical personnel of the Company and administers the
Company's stock option and other compensation plans. The Compensation Committee
was composed of Mr. Madden, Ms. Shuler and Mr. Anderson and met on one occasion
in 1996.

         Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
requires the Company's officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10%
of a registered class of the Company's equity securities, to file reports of
ownership and changes of ownership with the Commission. Officers, directors and
greater than 10% shareholders are required to furnish the Company with copies of
all Section 16(a) reports they file. Based solely on its review of the forms
received by it, the Company believes that during the year ended December 31,
1996 Messrs. Cone, Madden, Anderson and Kenney and Ms. Shuler and Ms. Smith were
late in filing a form 4 report of an exempt transaction. The Company believes
that these failures to file reports on a timely basis were inadvertent and has
implemented routine procedures designed to periodically remind its officers and
directors of the filing requirements.

ITEM 11.          EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

         SUMMARY COMPENSATION TABLE. The following table provides certain
summary information covering compensation paid or accrued during the fiscal
years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 to the Company's Chief Executive
Officer and the other executive officers, whose annual compensation, determined
