ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange
Commission and the Nasdaq National Market. Officers, directors and greater
than ten percent stockholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish the
Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based solely on
review of the copies of such forms furnished to the Company, or written
representations that no Forms 5 were required, the Company believes that

requirements applicable to its officers, directors and greater than

(1) All options were granted at a price equal to the fair market value of the
Company's common stock on the date of grant.
(2) Amounts shown in these columns have been derived by multiplying the
exercise price by the annual appreciation rate shown (compounded for the term of
the options), multiplying the result by the number of shares covered by the
options, and subtracting the aggregate exercise price of the options. The dollar
amounts set forth under this heading are the result of calculations at the 5
percent and 10 percent rates set by the Securities and Exchange Commission, and
therefore are not intended to forecast possible future appreciation, if any, of
the Company's stock price.
(3) On January 2, 1997, pursuant to her employment agreement with the Company,
Ms. Bennett received a ten-year option grant for 30,000 shares at an exercise
price of $6.88 per share. In November 1997, this option was repriced at $3.44
per share. Ms. Bennett also received a ten-year option grant for 20,000 shares
on September 23, 1997; this option is exerciseable at $5.00 per share.

(1) On the date of the repricing of these options, Mr. Weiss' options to

$15.17 per share were terminated.
(2) On the date of the repricing of these options, Ms. Bennett's options to

exercise price of $16.67 per share were terminated.

<PAGE>
The Company's Compensation Committee (the "Committee") decided to reprice
the options enumerated above in response to a precipitous decrease in the market
price of the Company's common stock to a level which, in the opinion of the
Committee, had the effect of eliminating substantially all the incentive value
of such options. The Committee concluded that short-term financial performance
considerations should not unduly influence long-term compensation strategies.
The Committee believes that stock options play an extremely important role in
attracting talented executives, and motivating them to perform up to their full
potential. Accordingly, the Committee determined that a repricing of options to
current market value was both necessary and consistent with its strategy of
providing executives with tangible long-term performance incentives.
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
The Company entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Weiss that
expires on December 31, 1998, and is terminable by the Company or Mr. Weiss
upon notice. The agreement provides for an annual base salary of $300,000.
Mr. Weiss is subject to certain non-competition provisions during the term of
the employment agreement and for two years thereafter, unless the employment
agreement is terminated by the Company or Mr. Weiss under certain
circumstances, including in the event of a change in control of the Company.
The Company entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Hardesty that
expires on December 8, 2001, and is terminable by the Company or Mr. Hardesty
upon notice. The agreement provides for an annual base salary of $250,000.
Mr. Hardesty is subject to certain non-competition provisions during the term
of the employment agreement and for two years thereafter, unless the
employment agreement is terminated by the Company or Mr. Hardesty under
certain circumstances, including in the event of a change in control of the
Company.
The Company entered into an employment agreement with Ms. Bennett that
expires on December 31, 1998, and is terminable by the Company or Ms. Bennett
upon notice. The agreement provides for an annual salary of $200,000. Ms.
Bennett is subject to certain non-competition provisions during the term of
the employment agreement and for two years thereafter, unless the agreement
is terminated by the Company or Ms. Bennett under certain circumstances,
including in the event of a change in control of the Company.
COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION
The Company's Compensation Committee consists of Messrs. William M. Mower
and Phil E. Bryan. William M. Mower's professional association is a partner of
Maslon Edelman Borman & Brand, LLP, which has rendered and will continue to
render legal services to the Company.
DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
Directors who are not also employees of the Company receive a $25,000
annual director's fee and are reimbursed for costs and expenses they incur to
attend board meetings. Directors who are not also employees of the Company are
entitled to participate in the Company's 1994 Non-employee Director Stock Option
Plan. This plan is a formula stock option plan that provides for the initial
grant of a stock option covering 11,250 shares upon a person joining the Board
and an annual stock option grant covering 5,625 shares at each annual meeting of
shareholders. Each option granted has a ten-year term, vests equally over a two
year period and has an exercise price equal to the fair market value on the date
of grant.

<PAGE>
COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Decisions on compensation of the Company's executives generally have
been made by the Compensation and Stock Option Committee (the "Compensation
Committee") of the Board. Each member of the Compensation Committee is a
non-employee director. All decisions by the Compensation Committee relating
to the compensation of the Company's executive officers are reviewed by the
full Board. Each executive officer who also serves as a director of the
Company abstains from the discussion and vote relating to his or her
compensation. Pursuant to rules designed to enhance disclosure of the
Company's policies toward executive compensation, set forth below is a report
prepared by the Compensation Committee addressing the Company's compensation
policies for the year ended December 31, 1997 as they affected the Company's
executive officers. The following report of the Compensation Committee, as
well as the Performance Graph set forth herein, are not soliciting materials,
are not deemed filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC")
and are not incorporated by reference in any filing of the Company under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended (the "Exchange Act"), whether made before or after the date of
this Proxy Statement and irrespective of any general incorporation language
in any such filing.
The Compensation Committee's executive compensation policies are
designed to provide competitive levels of compensation that integrate pay
with the Company's annual objectives and long-term goals, reward
above-average corporate performance, recognize individual initiative and
achievements, and assist the Company in attracting and retaining qualified
executives. The Compensation Committee intends to set executive compensation
at levels that the Compensation Committee believes to be consistent with
others in the Company's industry.
There are three elements in the Company's executive compensation
program, all determined by individual and corporate performance.
Base salary compensation
Annual incentive compensation
Stock options
Base salary compensation and increases are determined by the potential
effect the individual has on the Company, the skills and experiences
required by the job, and the performance and potential of the incumbent in
the job.
Effective in April 1996, the Compensation Committee instituted a bonus
incentive compensation plan which allows each executive to earn a percentage
of such executives's salary (up to 50%), payable quarterly, dependent upon
the Company's earnings performance for such fiscal year.
Awards of stock grants under the Company's 1993 Stock Option and
Compensation Plan (the "Plan") are designed to promote the identity of
long-term interests between the Company's executives and its stockholders,
and assist in the retention of executives. The Plan also permits the
Committee to grant stock options to key personnel. Options become
exercisable based upon criteria established by the Company.
6
<PAGE>
While the value realizable from exercisable options is dependent upon
the extent to which the Company's performance is reflected in the market
price of the Company's common stock at any particular point in time, the
decision as to whether such value will be realized in any particular year is
determined by each individual executive an not by the Compensation
Committee. Accordingly, when the Committee recommends that an option be
granted to an executive, that recommendation does not take into account any
gains realized that year by that executive as a result of his or her
individual decision to exercise an option granted in a previous year.
The Compensation Committee does not anticipate that any of the
compensation payable to executive officers of the Company in the coming year
will exceed the limits and deductibilities set forth in section 162(m) of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Compensation Committee has
not established a policy regarding compensation in excess of these limits,
but will continue to monitor this issue.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
William M. Mower, a director of the Company, is the sole shareholder of
a professional association that is a partner of Maslon, Edelman, Borman &
Brand, LLP, which has rendered and will continue to render legal services to
the Company.
In November, 1997, Russell C. Mix, a director of the Company, resigned
his position as Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary. Upon
his resignation, the Company entered into a severance and consulting
agreement with Mr. Mix. The consulting arrangement provided for up to a six
(6) month consulting period at a monthly rate equivalent to his then current
monthly salary. The consulting agreement was terminable by either party upon
thirty (30) days prior written notice. The consulting agreement has been
terminated by the Company. At the termination of the consulting period, the
severance agreement provides for a severance payment equivalent to six (6)
months of Mr. Mix's salary.
In April 1998, Mr. Mix joined Prolific Publishing, Inc. ("Prolific") as
an Executive Vice President. Prolific has provided services to the Company
since 1996, and the Company anticipates purchasing additional services from
Prolific in the future. During 1997, the Company paid Prolific $3,960,000 for
services received.
A shareholder and former director of the Company and the spouse of the
Chairman of the Company (collectively the "Principals"), are majority
shareholders in Kiland Distributing Corporation ("KDC"), a distributor of the
Company's products in 1997. Prior to the third quarter of 1997, when the
Company opened its own offices in Minnesota, the Company utilized KDC for
substantially all sales in the Midwest region of the United States. During
the nine (9) months ended September 30, 1997, the Company made sales to KDC
of approximately $169,000. In September, 1997, the Company and KDC reached an
agreement regarding the settlement of accounts receivable of $3,059,497 for
payment of approximately $2,400,000 from KDC to the Company. Settlement
included the transfer of substantially all of KDC's assets to the Company
which included cash, accounts receivables and fixed assets. The settlement
also included forgiveness of certain accounts payable from the Company to KDC
and the execution of an unsecured Promissory Note in the amount of $144,000
from the Principals to the Company. The Promissory Note bore interest at the
rate of 10% per annum and has been fully repaid. Concurrent with the
settlement, the Company terminated its business relationship with KDC.
