Item 6            Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with
                  Respect to Securities of the Issuer

                  The Company has issued options under its 1993 and 1997
                  Employee Stock Option and Incentive Plan to Mr. Pilger for the
                  purchase of 40,000 shares at an exercise price of $2.00 per
                  share, and for 130,000 shares at an exercise price of $1.03
                  per share reissued June, 1998.

                  On December 31, 1997 the Company's former Chairman Kevin Kean
                  defaulted on repaying $1,232,000.00 of notes receivable due
                  the Company. The Company filed suit against this individual on
                  January 2, 1998. On January 15, 1998 the Company signed a
                  Settlement Agreement with this individual. Under the agreement
                  220,000 shares of the Company's common stock was canceled
                  along with the 150,000 shares currently pledged to the Company
                  at the market price of $1.19 per share. The Company and this
                  individual entered into a new note agreement. The new note of
                  $1,196,884.88 bears interest at 7% per annum and matures on
                  January 15, 2001. The note is collateralized by the
                  individual's 5% interest in the Company's Pokagon management
                  fee. Solely at the Company's discretion, at any time prior to
                  maturity, the Company can take the collateral as payment in
                  full for the note. The individual has also granted the
                  Chairman of the Company an irrevocable proxy for 1,330,944
                  shares of the Company's common stock.

                  Additionally, Mr. Pilger holds proxies to vote 175,000 shares
                  owned by Richard Howarth, Jr., a former officer of the
                  Company.
