SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

         Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the
Company's Officers, Directors and persons who own more than ten percent of a
registered class of the Company's equity securities within specified time
periods to file certain reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"). Officers, Directors and
ten-percent stockholders are required by regulation to furnish the Company with
copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Messrs. Al-Kadi, Herrmann and
Wettstein have not filed Form 3's reporting their ownership of shares and
warrants. Based solely on a review of copies of such reports received by the
Company and written representations from such persons concerning the necessity
to file such reports, the Company is not aware of any other failures to file
reports or report transactions in a timely manner during the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1999.

ITEM 12.  CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS

         The Company has entered into a distribution agreement, dated November
11,1999 with Spark 1st Vision GmbH & Co. KG, a German company, that gives the
distributor the exclusive right to distribute the Company's products in Europe,
the Middle East and Africa through 2003. The distributor is obligated to
purchase a minimum of 24 ROBODOC systems and 4 NeuroMate systems during 2000
and 32 ROBODOC systems and 6 NeuroMate systems during 2001. The distributor is
required to pay the Company advance payments of $200,000 per month for the first
six months of 2000, $300,000 per month for the remainder of 2000, and $400,000
per month for 2001, offset by the purchase price of products purchased. However,
the distributor has no minimum purchase or advance payment obligation after
2001, even through it will retain exclusive rights to distribute the Company's
products in Europe, the Middle East and Africa through 2003. The distributor's
only obligation to the Company after 2001 is to pay for products that it
purchases. The distributor's liability to the Company under the distribution
agreement is limited to $1 million, exclusive of the minimum purchase
obligation. The Company will continue to receive service contract revenues and
bear the cost of maintenance, training and customer support. The distribution
agreement will eliminate marketing; sales and administrative expenses associated
with the Company's European activities and provide the Company with a more
predictable source of revenues based upon the minimum purchase commitments of
the

distributor. The distributor is controlled by Manfred Schmitt, a German venture
capitalist. As of November 11, 1999, Mr. Schmitt beneficially owned slightly
more than five percent of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock. The
Company believes that the terms of the distribution agreement are as fair to
the Company as those that could have been obtained from an unaffiliated party.

         As of April 24, 2000 the Company had received the minimum payment under
the agreement for the month of January.
