DIRECTORS' COMPENSATION
Outside directors are automatically granted 10,000 shares of the
Company's common stock pursuant to the July 26, 1996 Amendment to the 1994 Stock
Option Plan for Directors which provided a formula for granting options to
outside directors. In addition, on July 30, 1999, August 28, 1998 and August 27,
1997, the Board amended the Directors' Plan by modifying the formula for
granting options to outside directors by providing for the annual grant of stock
options for 10,000 shares in lieu of regular cash compensation for serving as a
director. These options become exercisable on the date of the next annual
meeting of shareholders and have a three year life.
1994 STOCK OPTION PLAN FOR DIRECTORS
On April 21, 1994, the Company adopted the 1994 Stock Option Plan for
Directors (the "Directors' Plan") under which 525,000 shares of common stock may
be issued to Directors of the Company. Options issued under the Directors' Plan
are non-qualified stock options. Prior to the Amendments to the Directors' Plan
described below, the Board of Directors, excluding outside Directors who are
eligible for the Directors' Plan, subject to the provisions of the Directors'
Plan, has authority to determine the outside Directors to whom options would be
granted, the time or times at which options would issue, the exercise price of
granted options and any conditions for their exercise. The Directors' Plan
requires that the exercise price of stock options be not less than the fair
market value on the date of grant and that stock options expire not later than
ten years from the date of the grant. The Directors' Plan contains an
anti-dilution provision whereby the shares of common stock that underlie
outstanding options are increased proportionately in the event of a stock split
or dividend.
On July 26, 1996, the Board amended the Directors' Plan to provide for
the automatic issuance of options in order to satisfy the requirements of
Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 16b-3. The Amendment provided for the
automatic issuance of stock options for 10,000 shares to each outside director
on July 26, 1996 and as of each June 30 thereafter. Also, each new outside
director is automatically granted stock options for 10,000 shares as of the date
of becoming a member of the Board, unless that date falls between April 1 and
June 30 of any year. These
4
<PAGE>
options become exercisable six months after grant and expire three years after
date of grant. The exercise price is equal to the fair market value at date of
grant, but not less than one dollar.
On July 29, 1999, August 28, 1998 and August 27, 1997, the Board
amended the Directors' Plan by modifying the formula for granting options to
outside directors by providing for the annual grant of stock options for 10,000
shares in lieu of regular cash compensation for serving as a director. These
options become exercisable on the date of the next annual meeting of
shareholders and have a three year life.
As of December 31, 1999, 100,000 options have been granted under this
plan.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
The following information relates to compensation of the Company's
Chief Executive Officer for the Company's fiscal years ended December 31, 1999,
1998 and 1997. No other executive officer of the Company received total annual
salary and bonuses in excess of $100,000 during those fiscal years.
The Compensation Committee did not have a substantial role in setting
compensation in 1999, 1998 & 1997 because the Chief Executive Officer was
engaged pursuant to an employment agreement that fixed compensation. The role of
the Compensation Committee and its policies are expected to increase as
employment agreements expire and compensation packages are negotiated with key
executives.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
Mr. Sandvick serves as Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive
Officer of the Company pursuant to a three year employment agreement commencing
on January 9, 1996. The agreement has been extended for four additional years
and will terminate unless further extended or sooner terminated, on December 31,
2002. The term of the agreement is automatically extended annually for an
additional year unless notice is given by either party that such party does not
wish to extend the agreement term. The
6
<PAGE>
agreement provides for an annual base salary of $180,000 through June 30, 1996
with $30,000 annual increases thereafter. The agreement provides for an increase
in the annual base salary, to at least $300,000 per year if the Company's pre
tax income as defined, for any calendar year equals or exceeds $2 million. Mr.
Sandvick is entitled to an annual bonus equal to 5% of the first $10 million of
the Company's pre tax income and 7% of the Company's pre tax income in excess of
$10 million. Pursuant to the agreement, on the commencement of employment Mr.
Sandvick was granted a ten-year option to acquire 870,000 shares of the
Company's common stock at a price of $.80 per share, such price representing the
greater of (1) the closing price on the date of stockholder approval of the
First Amendment to the Company's 1994 Stock Option Plan or (2) the average of
the closing sales price for the 20 trading days preceding the effective date of
the agreement. One-third of the shares subject to the option award became
exercisable on January 9, 1996 and one-third of the shares became exercisable
over the next two years in equal annual increments. Mr. Sandvick is also
entitled to participate in other employee benefit plans and the Company is
obligated to reimburse Mr. Sandvick for, or pay directly, the costs of a
personal plan of disability providing for $15,000 per month disability benefits.
The employment agreement with Mr. Sandvick also provides for severance
upon termination by the Company without cause or termination by Mr. Sandvick for
"good reason" in the amount equal to the base salary Mr. Sandvick would have
earned during the 36 month period commencing on the date of termination plus
three times Mr. Sandvick's average annual bonus received over the prior three
fiscal years. Mr. Sandvick would also have the right to receive all other
benefits that would have been received under his employment arrangement for that
36 month period. Further, all shares underlying outstanding stock options
granted to Mr. Sandvick could become fully exercisable for a period of 18 months
after termination. Mr. Sandvick shall have "good reason" to terminate his
employment if, among other events, (i) the Company fails to comply with any
material provision of the employment agreement; (ii) the Company gives Mr.
Sandvick notice of nonrenewal; or (iii) for any reason within one year following
the occurrence of a change in control, as defined. Change in control occurs if
(i) any person, excluding existing relationships, becomes the beneficial owner
of securities representing 20% or more of the combined voting power of the
Company's then outstanding voting securities; (ii) a change occurs in the
majority of the Board of Directors; (iii) the stockholders approve a merger in
which at least 51% of the Company's combined voting power is given to a new
entity not in the Company's control or the effect of such merger is that any
person acquires 20% or more of the combined voting power of the Company. On
January 27, 1997, the Company hired Michael Wright to serve as the Company's
President. Mr. Wright served as President from January 27 to December 25, 1997,
during which time Mr. Sandvick's annual salary was reduced by $84,000.
While the terms of the employment contract called for an annual salary
of $300,000 and $255,000 in 1999 and 1998, respectively, only $138,451 and
$176,909 were paid to Mr. Sandvick in 1999 and 1998, respectively. Mr. Sandvick
voluntarily waived all accrued pay and bonuses otherwise due to him as of
December 31, 1999.

BONUS POLICY

bonuses to its officers, it may elect to pay bonuses in the future to reward the
performance of its employees and management. The company awarded $16 thousand
and $108 thousand in bonuses in 1999 and 1998 respectively. No cash bonuses were
awarded to the chief executive officer.
CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
On January 8, 1996, the Company entered into an agreement with Vanguard
Strategies, Inc. ("VSI"), a private strategic planning company, in which VSI
would assist the Company as its exclusive consultant for at least 120 days in
negotiating debt and equity financing and in developing the Company's strategic
plans. Mr. Sandvick is the president and principal stockholder of VSI. In
January 1996 VSI assisted the Company in obtaining a $450,000 loan from U.S.
Mortgage Bankers Corp. ("USMBC"). The president of USMBC is Mr. Sandvick's half
brother. As compensation for these services, VSI was granted warrants, subject
to the Company receiving financing of at least $1.5 million, to purchase up to
450,000 shares of common stock of the Company at a price of $.60 per share
exercisable for five years. In July 1996, VSI was granted an additional warrant
to purchase 250,000 shares of the Company's common stock at a price of $.69 per
share pursuant to the extension of the USMBC promissory note under this
agreement. In January 1997, VSI was granted an additional warrant to purchase
250,000 shares of the Company's common stock at a price of $.72 per share
pursuant to the extension of the USMBC promissory note under this agreement. In
May 2000, Mr. Sandvick, on behalf of VSI, exercised the warrants to purchase
450,000 shares of common stock at $.60 per share, totaling $270,000.
In connection with the engagement of VSI (an unaffiliated third party
prior to entering into the agreement) to raise capital for the Company and
pursue other business restructuring alternatives and the continuing arrangements
with Mr. Burr, VSI and Mr. Burr were provided an option to purchase 80% (40%
each) of a subsidiary to be formed to carry on the Company's international
operations. The option was provided to VSI and Mr. Burr as an incentive for them
to aggressively pursue international sales. However, the subsidiary was never
formed and on March 19, 1998 the Company and VSI entered into an agreement
whereby the original agreement with VSI referred to above was terminated.
Pursuant to the termination agreement, VSI and Mr. Burr were each granted
options to purchase 50,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $2.88 per
share, the closing market price of the Company's common stock on such date.
These options were subsequently terminated.
In July 1999, James Bouskos and Miles Scully received options to
purchase 20,000 shares and 10,000 shares, respectively, of On-Point's common
stock at $1.97 per share pursuant to their arrangements as Advisory Directors.
The Options vest in one year and expire in three years from the date of grant.

through ownership of the common stock. Such members of management will be
offered the opportunity to acquire common stock through the grant of incentive
and nonqualified stock options ("options"). On April 21, 1994, the Board of
Directors adopted the 1994 Plan. The 1994 Plan was approved by the Company's
stockholders on June 7, 1994.
The Company was originally authorized under the 1994 Plan to
issue shares of common stock pursuant to the exercise of options with respect to
a maximum of 500,000 shares. As a result of the 5% stock divided on July 1,
1994, the authorized number of shares under the plan increased by 25,000 shares
to 525,000 shares. On January 8, 1996 the plan was amended to increase the
shares available for issuance to 1,500,000. Such amendment was approved by the
stockholders on July 26, 1996. As of December 31, 1999, 1,500,000 options have
been granted under this Plan.
The Company also has a 1993 Stock Option Plan under which
472,500 shares of common stock may be issued to officers and key employees of
the Company. As of December 31, 1999, 312,635 options have been granted under
the 1993 Stock Option Plan. As of June 30, 2000, under the 1994 Plan and the
1993 Stock Option Plan only 504,120 shares remain available for issuance.
PROPOSED CHANGE
The company is seeking shareholder approval to ratify and
adopt an amendment to the Plan to increase the number of shares available under
the Plan to 3,000,000. The Board of Directors believes that the increase in
available shares is in the best interest of the shareholders because the
increase is necessary for the Company to attract and retain the type of
high-qualified officers and employees required for the Company's future growth.
The Company faces intense competition to secure and retain the services of
highly qualified personnel. The Board of Directors believe the grant of options
to acquire shares of the Company's stock is a necessary element of a
compensation package to deal with this competition. The Board of Directors
believes that stock options are an excellent compensatory element because
officers and employees granted stock options only benefit if all the
shareholders benefit through stock price increases. If the amendment to the plan
is not approved, the Company will be required to pay other forms of compensation
to attract and retain officers and employees which the Board of Directors
believes would not be as beneficial to the shareholders.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN
Options issued under the Plan are either incentive stock
options under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the"Code"), or non-qualified stock options, as determined in the discretion of
the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company at the time
the options are granted. In addition, the Compensation Committee, subject to the
provisions of the Plan, has authority to determine the employees to whom options
will be granted, the time or times at which options will issue, the exercise
price of granted options and any condition of their exercise. The Plan requires
that the exercise price of stock options be not less than the fair market value
on the date of grant and that stock options expire no later than ten years from
the date of grant. In addition, the Plan provides that no incentive stock
options may be granted to any employee who owns more than 10% of the Company's
voting securities unless the exercise price is at least 110% of the fair market
value of the underlying common stock and the option expires on or before five
years from the date of grant. The Plan

contains an anti-dilution provision whereby the shares of common stock which
underlie outstanding options are increased proportionately in the event of a
stock split or dividend.
Approval of the amendment to the 1994 Stock Option Plan
requires the affirmative vote of a majority of all shares entitled to be cast on
the matter.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR APPROVAL OF THE
AMENDMENT TO THE 1994 STOCK OPTION PLAN.
PROXY ITEM NO. 4
INCREASE NUMBER OF
AUTHORIZED SHARES
In order to improve the Company's ability to continue its growth, the
Board of Directors is seeking shareholder approval to ratify and adopt an
amendment to the Fourth Article of the Articles of Incorporation to increase the
amount of authorized common stock from 20 million shares to 40 million shares.
The Board believes that this increase in shares is essential to the future of
the Company. The increase in the number of authorized shares will allow the
Company to pursue financing, acquisitions, mergers and other business
opportunities. Without the ability to raise additional capital through stock
issuance the Company's growth will be impaired. This increase is in shares is
also a critical element for the increase necessary for the 1994 Stock Option
Plan, which is essential in attracting and retaining qualified key personnel. As
of July 28, 2000, there were 9,283,599 authorized and unissued shares of common
stock remaining. However, only 5,780,319 shares were available for issuance. The
Board of Directors believes that the limited availability of shares for issuance
will significantly impact the Company's plans to finance its future growth
plans. The Board of Directors believes that an increase in the number of
authorized shares is essential for the future success of the Company.
Approval of the amendment to the Articles of Incorporation requires the
affirmative vote of a majority of all shares entitled to be cast on the matter.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR APPROVAL OF THE AMENDMENT TO THE
ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED COMMON SHARES
TO 40 MILLION.

ratify the appointment of Rothstein, Kass and Company, P.C. the Board of
Directors will reconsider the appointment.
The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR approval of Rothstein,
Kass and Company, P.C. as independent auditors for the current fiscal year.
