Dividends
The Company has never paid cash dividends with respect to the Common

generated from the Company's operations to help finance the operations and
expansion of the Company and accordingly does not plan, for the foreseeable
future, to pay dividends to holders of the Common Stock. Any decision as
to the future payment of dividends on the Common Stock will depend on the
results of operations and financial position of the Company and such other
factors as the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board"), in its discretion,
deems relevant. In addition, arrangements with present or future lenders
may prohibit the payment of dividends.

Compensation of Directors
Other than compensation otherwise payable under employment agreements
with Dr. Burnham and Ms. Burnham, directors receive no cash compensation
for serving on the Board (other than reimbursement of reasonable expenses
incurred in attending meetings). The Company pays its nonemployee directors
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for each committee meeting attended. In
addition, all nonemployee directors receive, pursuant to the Option Plan,
annual grants of options to purchase 2,500 shares of Common Stock for the
following year's service. Newly elected nonemployee directors receive a pro
rata portion of such share grant based on the period remaining until the next
date of grant following their date of election. Messrs. Barrett and Thompson
each received options to purchase 9,851 shares of Common Stock at $.05 per
share in November 1995 in recognition of prior services to the Company.
Also, in November 1995 Messrs. Barrett, Koffman and Thompson each received
options to purchase 2,500 shares of Common Stock under the Option Plan
exercisable at $5.00 per share.
1995 Stock Option Plan
In October 1995, the Board and shareholders of the Company adopted
the Option Plan. The Option Plan intended to recognize the contributions
made to the Company by key employees, officers and directors of the Company,
to provide such persons with additional incentive to devote themselves to
the future success of the Company, and to improve the ability of the
Company to attract, retain, and motivate individuals upon whom the Company's
sustained growth and financial success depend, by providing such persons
with an opportunity to acquire or increase their proprietary interest in
the Company through receipt of rights to acquire Common Stock.
The Company has reserved 250,000 shares of Common Stock for issuance
upon the exercise of options available for future grant under the Option
Plan designated as either (i) incentive stock options ("ISOs") under the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), or (ii) non-
qualified stock options ("NQSOs"). ISOs may be granted under the Option
Plan to employees (including directors) and officers of the Company. NQSOs
may be granted to non-employee directors, employees and officers of the
Company. In certain circumstances, the exercise of options granted under
the Option Plan may have an adverse effect on the market price of the
Common Stock.
The Option Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee (the
"Committee"), composed of two or more persons appointed by the Board who
are "disinterested persons" as defined under Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange
Act or "outside directors" as defined under Section 162(m) of the Code.
The Committee shall grant options in its discretion and may consider the
nature of the optionee's services and responsibilities, the optionee's
present and potential contribution to the Company's success and such other
factors as it may deem relevant. ISOs granted under the Option Plan may
not be granted at a price less than the fair market value of the Common
Stock on the date of grant (or 110% of fair market value in the case of
persons holding 10% or more of the voting stock of the Company). The
aggregate fair market value of shares for which ISOs granted to any
employee are exercisable for the first time by such employee during any
calendar year (under all stock option plans of the Company and any related
corporation) may not exceed $100,000. Options granted under the Option Plan
will expire not more than ten years from the date of grant (five years in
the case of ISOs granted to persons holding 10% or more of the voting stock
of the Company). Options granted under the Option Plan are not
transferable during an optionee's lifetime but are transferable at death
by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.
The Option Plan also contains certain change in control provisions
which could cause options and other awards to become immediately
exercisable, and restrictions and deferral limitations applicable to
other awards to lapse, in the event any "person", as such term is used
in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act, including a "group" as
defined in Section 13(d), but excluding certain shareholders of the
Company, acquires beneficial ownership of more than 50.1% of the
Company's outstanding shares of Common Stock.
<PAGE>
In November 1995, the Company granted options under the Option Plan
exercisable for the purchase of an aggregate of 11,000 shares of Common
Stock, including options to purchase 2,500, 2,500, and 2,500 shares
granted to Messrs. Barrett, Koffman and Thompson, respectively. All of
these options are exercisable at a price of $5.00 per share and are
immediately exercisable. During 1996, the Company granted options under
the Option Plan exercisable for the purchase of an aggregate of 93,000
shares of Common Stock, including options to purchase 30,000 and 6,000
shares granted to Ms. Burnham and Mr. Prioletti, respectively.
Ms. Burnham's options are exercisable at a price of $5.25 per share
and are immediately exercisable. Mr. Prioletti's options are exercisable
at a price of $7.50 per share and vest as follows: Options to purchase
2,000 shares of Common Stock first become exercisable in December 1997,
options to purchase an additional 2,000 shares of Common Stock first
become exercisable in December 1998 and options to purchase an additional
2,000 shares of Common Stock first become exercisable in December 1999.
Non-Plan Options
The Company has issued options to purchase up to an aggregate of
90,630 shares of Common Stock (the "Non-Plan Options") outside of the
Option Plan to certain executive officers, non-employee directors and
consultants. The Non-Plan Options are immediately exercisable at prices
ranging from $.05 to $.25 per shares of Common Stock. Of the Non-Plan
Options, options to purchase 39,404, 29,553, 9,851 and 9,851 shares of
Common Stock were granted to Dr. Burnham and Messrs. Konopelski, Barrett
and Thompson, respectively.
Employment Agreements
The Company entered into an employment agreement with each of
Dr. Geoffrey T. Burnham, Theodore W. Konopelski and Susan M. Burnham in
October 1995. Mr. Konopelski's employment with the Company was terminated
for cause in August 1996. Each of Dr. Burnham's and Ms. Burnham's
employment agreements provides for an initial three-year term, commencing
on October 1, 1995, and each requires full-time service to the Company.
Dr. Burnham's agreement provides for a base salary $110,000 per annum,
and Ms. Burnham's agreement provides for a base salary $75,000 per annum.
Each of the agreements provides for continuing automatic one-year
extensions to maintain its three-year term, until the agreement is
terminated by either party. Certain fringe benefits are also provided,
including split dollar life insurance and certain expense allowances.
Dr. Burnham and Ms. Burnham also may be granted annual increase of 10%
per annum at the discretion of the Board and bonuses based upon meeting
defined goals established by the Board. All such bonuses and other
increases must also be approved by the Underwriter for a period of three
years following the Effective Date, or sooner in the event that the Company
achieves annual profitability prior to the end of the period. These
agreements also provide that the Company will continue to pay the base
salary to the employee or the employee's legal representative in the event
of the employee's termination due to disability or death, for a period
commencing at the time of such termination and ending at the end of the
employment term. The agreements contain provisions prohibiting the
employee from competing with the Company during the term of employment
and for a period of two years thereafter. Dr. Burnham's agreement provides
that he will serve as Chairman of the Board, and Ms. Burnham's agreement
provides that she will serve as a director on the Board. The Company also
entered into a consulting agreement with George W. Barrett in November
1995, pursuant to which Mr. Barrett agreed to provide consulting services
to the Company relating to the establishment of the Company's manufacturing
facility, as requested by the Company, for a consulting fee equal to
$400.00 per day. Such fees totaled $14,400 in 1996.

Item 12. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
Upon incorporation of the Company in New York in September 1993,
Dr. Geoffrey Burnham and Theodore Konopelski, the Company's founders,
purchased 374,331 and 354,630 shares of Common Stock respectively, for
a purchase price of $19,000 and $18,000, respectively, some of which
shares were subsequently transferred by them to other related entities
or individuals. In addition, in November 1995, Dr. Burnham and Mr.
Konopelski each transferred 22,693 of these shares back to the Company,
for no consideration, in order for the Company to then reissue such shares
to another individual in settlement of all outstanding claims for services
rendered by such individual on behalf of the Company prior to its
incorporation.
In connection with the December 1994 Placement, Dr. Burnham, in
March 1995, and Mr. Konopelski, in April 1995, each purchased an aggregate
of 4,925 shares of Common Stock and 4,925 Private Warrants for an aggregate
purchase price of $10,000 each.
In June and July 1995, Thomas J. Marquez bought a total of 354,632
shares of Common Stock from the Company in a private placement for an
aggregate price of $900,000. Pursuant to such purchase, Mr. Marquez
became a principal shareholder of the Company.
Any future transactions, if any, between the Company and its
officers, directors and/or greater than 5% shareholders will continue to be
on terms no less favorable to the Company than could be obtained from
independent third parties and will be approved by a majority of the
independent, disinterested directors of the Company.
