       (a)  On September 24, 1998, Allied Digital Technologies Corp. ("Allied")
announced that Analog Acquisition Corp. ("AAC"), a Delaware corporation formed
at the direction of 399 Venture Partners, Inc. ("399"), which is an affiliate of
Citicorp Venture Capital, Ltd., had merged (the "Allied Merger") with and into
Allied pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of May 5, 1998,
between Allied and AAC (the "Merger Agreement") with Allied as the surviving
company. In the Allied Merger, each stockholder of Allied (other than 1,100,110
shares of Allied common stock, par value $.01 per share ("Allied Common Stock")
held by 399 and certain management stockholders who elected to retain an
aggregate of 74,998 shares of Allied Common Stock, each of which was converted
into shares of surviving corporation capital stock and any stockholders who
perfect their appraisal rights) received $5 in cash for each share of Allied
Common Stock held by them. The Allied Merger was treated as a recapitalization
for accounting purposes.

         The transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement were funded in
