SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act") requires the Company's directors and executive officers, and
persons owning more than ten percent of a registered class of the Company's
equity securities, to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission reports
of ownership and changes in ownership of equity securities of the Company. Such
persons are also required to furnish the Company with copies of all such forms.
Based solely upon a review of the copies of such forms furnished to the
Company and, in certain cases, written representations that no Form 5 filings
were required, the Company believes that, with respect to the 1996 fiscal year,
all required Section 16(a) filings were made, except that Mr. John E.
McConnaughy, Jr., a director of the Company, filed a Form 5 in connection with
the sale of 30,000 shares of Class A Common Stock which took place in December
1996.

(1) The potential realizable value of the options reported above was calculated
by assuming 5% and 10% compounded annual rates of appreciation of the
common stock from the date of grant of the options until the expiration of
the options, based upon the market price on the date of grant. These
assumed annual rates of appreciation were used in compliance with the rules
of the Securities and Exchange Commission and are not intended to forecast
future price appreciation of the common stock.

option exercise prices and $2.31, multiplied by the number of shares of
common stock underlying the respective options.
Compensation of Directors
Directors presently receive no cash compensation for serving on the Board
of Directors. Under the Company's Non-Employee Directors Stock Option Plan, each
director who is not an employee of the Company receives an annual grant of
options to purchase 10,000 shares of Class A Common Stock at fair market value.
The options are granted upon re-election after the annual meeting of the
stockholders and vest 25% after each three-month period following grant. Options
terminate upon the earliest to occur of (i) subject to (ii) below, three months
after the optionee ceases to be a director of the Company, (ii) one year after
the death or disability of the optionee, and (iii) ten years after the date of
grant. If there is a change of control of the Company, all outstanding stock
options will become immediately exercisable.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
NOTE RECEIVABLE FROM DIRECTOR/OFFICER
On November 16, 1992, the Company made a personal loan to Mr. Peter J.
Sprague, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, as evidenced by a
note for $150,000, which sum was due and payable to the Company on January 16,
1993 and which bore interest at the rate of 10% per annum. On the due date, the
note was canceled and the total amount owed was "rolled-over" into a subsequent
note, dated May 12, 1993 for $150,000, plus accrued interest. The note is due on
demand by the Company and accrues interest at the rate of 10% per annum. On
April 22, 1993, the Company made an additional loan to Mr. Sprague for $23,175
as evidenced by a subsequent note, which is due on demand by the Company and
which bears interest at a rate of 10% per annum. All of these loans were made to
Mr. Sprague for personal reasons. As of December 31, 1996, Mr. Sprague's
aggregate indebtedness (including accrued interest) to the Company under the
notes totaled $244,705. No demand has been made as of the date hereof. The notes
are secured by a pledge of 67,000 shares of Class B Common Stock.
WAVE INTERACTIVE NETWORK, INC.
Wave Interactive Network, Inc. ("WIN") was incorporated as a separate
subsidiary of the Company in June 1995 and spun out in November 1995, when
shares in the subsidiary were transferred in exchange for a demand note of
$668,000 accruing interest at a rate of Prime plus 1% (the "Note"). The amount
of the Note was based on the level of funding provided in 1995 to WIN by the
Company. In this transaction, the Company retained a 1% ownership in WIN and
transferred the remaining ownership to certain individuals, including former
employees (approximately 65% was transferred to Steven Sprague, President and
CEO of WIN, and three other children of Mr. Peter J. Sprague, Chairman and CEO
of the Company). Subject to certain limitations associated with WIN's ability to
raise additional capital, the note was convertible into an undiluted 20% of the
common shares of WIN at the option of Wave. The note was fully reserved as its
collectibility was dependent upon WIN's ability to raise additional capital.
On December 30, 1996 WIN was merged with and into the Company. Pursuant to
the Plan and Agreement of Merger between Wave and WIN, dated as of October 18,
1996 (the "Merger Agreement"), the Company issued to the shareholders of WIN,
other than the Company (the "WIN Shareholders"), a total of 375,000 unregistered
shares of the Company's Class B Common Stock based upon a conversion ratio of
37.88 shares of the Company's Class B Common Stock for each
-8-
<PAGE> 9
share of common stock, par value $.01, of WIN held by the WIN Shareholders.
Under the Merger Agreement, the Company also agreed to issue to the WIN
Shareholders 325,000 shares of the Company's Class B Common Stock contingent
upon the achievement of a specified operating milestone prior to December 30,
1999. On October 18, 1996, as part of the merger the Company assumed a debt
obligation of WIN owed to a third party by issuing a convertible note in the
principal amount of $455,911 due on April 18, 1998 bearing interest at a rate
equal to ten percent per annum (the "Convertible Note"). The Convertible Note is
convertible into a number of the Company's unregistered Class A Common Stock for
a period beginning on April 1, 1997 and ending April 18, 1998 calculated as the
greater of (a) the number of shares that would be acquired at 80% of the fair
market value of the Class A Common Stock or (b) 250,000 shares plus 2,000 shares
for each month the note is outstanding. Also, as part of the merger, the Company
issued a warrant for the purchase of unregistered shares of the Company's Class
A Common Stock to such third party at a price of $1.25 per share. The exercise
period of such warrant is defined as the period commencing on the earlier date
of the conversion of the Convertible Note or April 18, 1998 and ending five
years from the date of issuance of such warrant. The number of shares able to be
purchased under this warrant is based on a formula of $170,000 divided by 80% of
the fair market value of the Class A Common Stock at the time of conversion.
COMPENSATION TO STEVEN SPRAGUE
Steven Sprague received aggregate compensation of $131,666 and $110,000
for services rendered to the Company in 1996 and 1995, respectively. Steven
Sprague is the son of Mr. Peter J. Sprague, the Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer of the Company.
AMENDED AND RESTATED LICENSE AGREEMENT AND ASSIGNMENT
Pursuant to an Amended and Restated License Agreement, dated February 14,
1994, and related Patent Assignment and Security Agreement, Mr. Peter J. Sprague
assigned his interest in a patent for the metering and usage of serial data
information to the Company in exchange for a non-terminable royalty interest.
The Company has agreed to payment of royalties to Mr. Sprague of 2% of the gross
revenues (less actual amounts paid to information, database and content
providers, hardware manufacturers and suppliers, search and retrieval software
suppliers, consolidators of information and network providers) derived from the
Company's technology based on the patent. The royalty payments are allocated 75%
to Mr. Sprague and 25% to a former officer of the Company, and are secured by a
security interest in and to the patent.

<PAGE> 10
LICENSE AND CROSS-LICENSE AGREEMENT
On May 1, 1992, the Company entered into a Joint Technology Development
Agreement and License and Cross-License Agreement with The Titan Corporation
whereby Titan granted to the Company license rights to the use of certain
patents which are co-owned by Titan. Dr. Gene W. Ray, a director of the Company,
is a director, President and Chief Executive Officer of Titan. The Company
granted to Titan the exclusive right to make for, sell in, and lease in a
"Retained Market," as defined in the agreement, the subject matter described in
any Company patent. The Retained Market is defined generally as the market for
"Government Information," as defined in the agreement, used solely by a
government entity, and the market for products used to access such information.
On February 28, 1997 the Company and Titan executed an addendum to the License
and Cross-License Agreement whereby the Company received a sole license to the
licensed patent to develop and distribute products to the in-home consumer
microcomputer market segment. Under this addendum to the License and
Cross-License Agreement, Titan waived any and all defaults by the Company under
the License and Cross-License Agreement occurring prior to February 28, 1997.
