       Certain information required by Part III was omitted from the Company's
report on Form 10-K filed on March 30, 2000, because at that time the Company
intended to file a definitive proxy statement for its 2000 Annual Meeting of
Stockholders (the "Proxy Statement") within 120 days after the end of its fiscal
year pursuant to Regulation 14A promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934. Because the Company no longer intends to file the Proxy Statement within
such 120-day period, the omitted information is filed herewith and provided
below as required. The "Company" refers collectively to VCampus Corporation and
its subsidiaries: Cognitive Training Associates, Inc., a Texas corporation
("CTA"); Cooper & Associates, Inc., an Illinois corporation, d/b/a Teletutor
("Teletutor"); HTR, Inc., a Delaware Corporation ("HTR"); and UOL Leasing, Inc.,
a Delaware corporation.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS

       Under the terms of our form of employment agreement for executive
officers, such officers are entitled to annual incentive-based bonus
compensation of up to 50% of their base salary. The exact amount of such
compensation is determined by the Board of Directors, generally based upon the
achievement of specified performance goals established by the Board. Under such
agreements, executive officers are also eligible to participate in all employee
benefit plans and programs that we offer to our executive employees and are
entitled to reimbursement for all documented reasonable business expenses they
incur. Generally, consistent with Company policies, in the event that an
executive officer is terminated without cause or resigns for good cause, we are
required under our form of employment agreement to continue paying salary to
such officer for six to nine months as severance.

       Mr. Kannan's employment agreement with the Company provides for an annual
base salary of $180,000. The term of the agreement expired in June 1999, but the
agreement is subject to and continues under automatic one-year renewal terms. In
the event of a material change in Mr. Kannan's duties, titles, authority or
position with the Company, he may elect, in lieu of receiving his severance pay,
to enter into a consulting arrangement with the Company, whereby Mr. Kannan
would provide consulting services to the Company for a period of one year and be
paid $750 per day for providing such services.

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS

       All directors are reimbursed for expenses incurred in connection with
each board committee meeting attended.

       The 1996 Plan provides for the grant of nonstatutory options to our
non-employee directors. The 1996 Plan provides automatic grants on January 1 of
each year to directors who are not employees of the Company of an option to
purchase 10,000 shares. In addition, in the case of a new director, automatic
grants shall be effective upon such director's initial election or appointment
to the Board with the number of underlying shares equal to the product of 2,500
multiplied by the number of regularly scheduled meetings remaining in that year.
Subject to continued status as a director, options vest 25% per year on each of
the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth anniversaries of the date of grant;
provided, however, that 2,500 shares vest on each date the director attends a
Board meeting in person during that year. In addition, such director will
automatically be granted a fully-vested option to purchase an additional 2,500
shares on each date the director attends a meeting of a committee of the Board
other than on the same day or within one day of a Board meeting.

       Under the 1996 Plan, during 1999 the non-employee directors received
options as follows: Mr. Fingerhut - 10,000; Mr. Wallman - 17,500; Mr. Kimberly -
17,500; Mr. Sears - 10,000; and Mr. deCastro - 10,000.

REPORT OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

       The Compensation Committee (the "Committee") of the Board of Directors is
responsible for establishing compensation policy and administering the
compensation programs of our executive officers. The purpose of this report is
to inform stockholders of our compensation policies for executive officers and
the rationale for the compensation paid to executive officers in 1999.

       The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, consisting entirely
of non-employee directors, approves all policies under which compensation is
paid or awarded to the Company's executive officers. The Compensation Committee
is currently composed of Messrs. Fingerhut and deCastro. The members of the
Compensation Committee also administer the Company's stock plans.

       For compensation paid to the Chief Executive Officer and other Named
Officers in 1999, no reference was made to the data for comparable companies
included in the performance graph included in this proxy statement under the
heading "-- Performance Graph" (the "Performance Graph").

       Compensation Philosophy. Our executive compensation program has three
objectives: (1) to align the interests of the executive officers with the
interest of our stockholders by basing a significant portion of an executive's
compensation on our performance; (2) to attract and retain highly talented and
productive executives; and (3) to provide incentives for superior performance by
our executives. To achieve these objectives, the Compensation Committee has
crafted a


                                       7
<PAGE>   8

program that consists of base salary, short-term incentive compensation in the
form of cash bonuses and long-term incentive compensation in the form of stock
options. These compensation elements are in addition to the general benefits
programs which we offer to all of our employees.

       Each year, the Compensation Committee reviews our executive compensation
program. In its review, the Compensation Committee studies the compensation
packages for executives of companies at a comparable stage of development and in
our geographical area, assesses the competitiveness of our executive
compensation program and reviews our financial and operational performance for
the previous fiscal year. The Compensation Committee also gauges the success of
the compensation program in achieving its objectives in the previous year, and
considers our overall performance objectives.

       Each element of our executive compensation program is discussed below.

       Base Salaries. The Compensation Committee annually reviews the base
salaries of our executive officers. The base salaries for our executive officers
for 1999 were established at the beginning of that fiscal year, or when the
executive joined us, as the case may be. In addition to considering the factors
listed in the foregoing section that support our executive compensation program
generally, the Compensation Committee reviews the responsibilities of the
specific executive position and the experience and knowledge of the individual
in that position. The Compensation Committee also measures individual
performance based upon a number of factors, including measurement of our
historic and recent financial and operational performance and the individual's
contribution to that performance, the individual performance on non-financial
goals and other contributions of the individual to our success, and gives each
of these factors relatively equal weight without confining its analysis to a
rigorous formula. As is typical of most corporations, the actual payment of base
salary is not conditioned upon the achievement of any predetermined performance
targets.

       Incentive Compensation. Cash bonuses established for executive officers
are intended to motivate the individual to work hard to achieve our financial
and operational performance goals or to otherwise incent the individual to aim
for a high level of achievement on our behalf in the coming year. Because we
have been in the early stages of development, we have not historically paid cash
bonuses. However, in 1999, we paid bonuses to the HTR executives pursuant to the
terms of the HTR acquisition effected in October 1997. The Compensation
Committee does not have an exact formula for determining bonus payments, but has
established general target bonus levels (up to a maximum of 50% of base salary)
for executive officers based in relatively equal measures upon the Compensation
Committee's subjective assessment of our projected revenues and net income, and
other operational and individual performance factors. The Committee may adjust
these targets during the year.

       Long-Term Incentive Compensation. Our long-term incentive compensation
plan for our executive officers is based upon our stock plans. We believe that
placing a portion of our executives' total compensation in the form of stock
options achieves three objectives. It aligns the interest of our executives
directly with those of our stockholders, gives executives a significant
long-term interest in our success and helps us retain key executives. Options



                                       8
<PAGE>   9

generally vest over a three to five-year period based upon continued employment.
In December 1996, and again in May and December 1998, we granted
performance-based options to the Chief Executive Officer and various other
executive officers. These grants vest ratably over four years beginning five
years from the date of grant, subject to accelerated vesting in full during the
first four years after the grant date if the fair market value of our Common
Stock over consecutive 20 trading days is greater than a target price
representing a four-year compounded return of 22.5% per year on the stock's fair
market value at the date of grant. In September 1999, we granted an option to
the Chief Executive Officer to purchase 100,000 shares, one-fourth fully vested
upon grant and the balance vesting equally over three years based upon continued
employment. These options were intended to provide a substitute incentive for
warrants held by the Chief Executive Officer that expired in 1999.

       In determining the number of options to grant an executive, the Board
primarily considered the executive's past performance and the degree to which an
incentive for long-term performance would benefit us, as well as the number of
shares and options already held by the executive officer. It is the Compensation
Committee's policy to grant options at fair market value unless particular
circumstances warrant otherwise.

       Benefits. We believe that we must offer a competitive benefit program to
attract and retain key executives. During fiscal 1999, we provided the same
medical and other benefits to our executive officers that are generally
available to our other employees.

       Compensation of the Chief Executive Officer. The Chief Executive
Officer's compensation is based upon the same elements and measures of
performance as is the compensation for our other executive officers. The
Compensation Committee approved a base salary for Mr. Kannan for 1999 of
$180,000. In structuring the compensation of Mr. Kannan, the Compensation
Committee considered the alignment of his compensation package with the
financial performance of the Company to be essential. A bonus of $3,900 was paid
to Mr. Kannan for 1999.

       Section 162(m) of the Code. It is the responsibility of the Compensation
Committee to address the issues raised by Section 162(m) of the Code. Revisions
to this Section made certain non-performance based compensation in excess of
$1,000,000 to executives of public companies non-deductible to such companies
beginning in 1994. The Compensation Committee has reviewed these issues and has
determined that it is not necessary for the Company to take any action at this
time with regard to these issues.

       Neither the material in this report, nor the Performance Graph, is
soliciting material, is or will be deemed filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission or is or will be incorporated by reference in any filing of the
Company under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act, whether made
before or after the date of this proxy statement and irrespective of any general
incorporation language in such filing.

ITEM 13.    CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS.

       In December 1996, the Company loaned Nat Kannan, our founder, Chief
Executive Officer and Chairman, $100,000 to help satisfy Mr. Kannan's income tax
withholding obligations relating to back wages paid to Mr. Kannan by us in 1996.
The largest outstanding principal amount under the loan, together with interest
accrued thereon, during 1999 was approximately $124,182. The loan bears interest
at the prime rate, as announced from time to time by First Union National Bank,
minus one percent with principal and accrued interest payable in full upon
demand.

       In May 1999, we raised approximately $1.3 million through a private
placement of 448,297 shares of common stock at a price of $2.9375 per share.
Barry K. Fingerhut, a director and one of our largest beneficial stockholders,
purchased an aggregate of 102,127 of such shares for an aggregate consideration
of $300,000. The holders of shares issued in this financing are entitled to
certain registration rights.

       In January 2000, we raised approximately $4.0 million through a strategic
private placement to Mastech Corporation (now iGate Capital Corporation) of
1,136,253 shares of common stock, representing approximately 19.9% of our
outstanding common stock, at $3.62 per share. This price represented a 20%
premium above the average closing price of our common stock for a 15-day
trailing period. In addition, we granted iGate a warrant to purchase an
additional 450,000 shares of common stock for a period of one year at a 20%
premium to market at the date of exercise, subject to a floor of $4.34 pre share
and a ceiling of $6.125 per share. The holders of shares issued in this
financing are entitled to certain registration rights. As part of this strategic
investment, Ashok Trivedi, iGate's Chairman, President and 29.6%

shareholder, was subsequently appointed to our Board and is included in
management's slate of nominees for election to our Board by the shareholders at
the Meeting.

       In April 2000, we raised $2.5 million through a strategic private
placement to US West Internet Ventures, Inc., a subsidiary of US West, Inc., of
357,142 shares of common stock, representing approximately 4.4% of our
outstanding common stock, at $7.00 per share (the closing price of our common
stock on the date of issuance). In addition, we granted US West a five-year
warrant to purchase an additional 714,284 shares of common stock at $7.00 per
share. One-half of the warrant shares are immediately exercisable and the
remaining shares become exercisable on April 20, 2001. The holders of shares
issued in this financing are entitled to certain registration rights. As part of
this strategic investment, US West was granted the right to designate one
representative for election to the Board.

       We have adopted a policy that all future transactions between us and our
executive officers, directors and other affiliates must be approved by a
majority of the members of our Board of Directors and by a majority of the
disinterested members of our Board of Directors, and must be on terms no less
favorable to us than could be obtained from unaffiliated third parties. Any new
loans or advances with insiders and any forgiveness of loans to insiders must be
for a bona fide business purpose and be approved by a majority of the
independent members of our Board of Directors who do not have an interest in the
transactions.

       All past transactions involving insiders were approved by at least a
majority of our independent and disinterested directors at the time of the
transactions. All ongoing transactions involving insiders have been approved by
a majority of our independent and disinterested directors.
