                         PARAVANT INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
              Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
                             March 31, 2000 and 1998

(1) Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a) Basis of Presentation

     The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of
Paravant Inc. and Subsidiaries (the "Company") have been prepared in accordance
with the instructions and requirements of Form 10-QSB and Regulation S-B and,
therefore, do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair
presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. In the opinion of
management, such financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of
normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair statement of
financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods
presented. Operating results for the interim periods are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal years.

     These condensed consolidated financial statements and footnotes should be
read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements for the
fiscal year ended September 30, 1999 included in the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-KSB as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The accounting
principles used in preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements
are the same as those described in such statements, or as discussed below.

(b) Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share

     Basic earnings per share for the three and six months ended March 31, 2000
and 1999 have been computed by dividing net income by the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share for the three
and six months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 have been computed by dividing
net income by the weighted average number of common and equivalent shares
outstanding.

     A reconciliation of the weighted average number of shares outstanding used
in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share is as follows:

     Options and warrants to purchase 620,017 and 684,872 shares of common stock
were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three
months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively, because their exercise
prices exceeded the average market price of common shares for the period.
Options and warrants to purchase 647,017 and 834,410 shares of common stock were
excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the six months
ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively, because their exercise prices
exceeded the average market price of common shares for the period.

(c) Change in Accounting Estimate

     During the quarter ended March 31, 2000, the Company made a change in
accounting estimate totaling $150,000 ($77,250 after tax) due to a change in the
estimated useful life of certain tooling and engineering assets related to the
Company's medical products. The Company will reach the end of the estimated
useful life of these assets with the completion of their last remaining medical
contract in the third quarter of 2000.

(2) Acquisition

     On October 8, 1998 the Company consummated a purchase business combination
(the "Acquisition"), effective October 1, 1998, of all of the outstanding common
stock of Engineering Development Laboratories, Incorporated, Inc. ("EDL") and
substantially all of the assets of Signal Technology Laboratories, Inc. ("STL"),
EDL's majority-owned subsidiary. Pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement the
Company paid an aggregate consideration consisting of (i) $8.7 million in cash,
(ii) three-year $4.8 million notes bearing interest at the rate of 8% and (iii)
3,950,000 shares of Common Stock. In connection with the Acquisition a
contingent cash earn-out will be payable by the Company under specified
circumstances over a period of up to five years based on future profits of the
acquired operation. The earn-out will be recorded as additional consideration,
increasing the amount of goodwill, which will be amortized over the remaining
life of the asset. The cash portion of the consideration paid by the Company in
connection with the Acquisition was financed using floating rate financing
obtained through National City Bank in Dayton, Ohio (the "Bank") in an amount up
to $14,000,000 under a revolving line of credit with a maturity date of December
31, 2001, convertible thereafter to five year term debt.

PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
     of Operations

Results Of Operations

Three Months ended March 31, 2000 vs. March 31, 1999

     Revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 were $7,894,805, a decrease
of $4,402,928 or 36% from the quarter ended March 31, 1999 revenues of
$12,297,733. This decrease in revenues was primarily due to a decrease of
approximately 70% in signal intelligence products revenue which was partially
offset by an increase of approximately 66% in command, control, communications
and computers ("C4") products revenue in this quarter.

     Gross profit was $3,422,715 for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 or 43% of
revenues, compared to $6,673,822 or 54% of revenues in the quarter ended March
31, 1999, a total decrease of $3,251,107 or 49%. This decrease in gross
profitability was primarily a result of the decreased revenues and related
product mix discussed above. In addition, the Company made a change in
accounting estimate totaling $150,000 due to a change in the estimated useful
life of certain tooling and engineering assets related to the Company's medical
products. The Company will reach the end of the estimated useful life of these
assets with the completion of their last remaining medical contract in the third
quarter of 2000.

     Sales and marketing expenses of $492,388 for the quarter ended March 31,
2000 decreased by $21,601 or 4% from the quarter ended March 31, 1999 expenses
of $513,989. Sales and marketing expenses were substantially unchanged between
the periods. As a percentage of revenues, sales and marketing expenses were
approximately 6% and 4% in the quarters ended March 31, 2000 and 1999,
respectively.

     Research, development and engineering expenses of $469,540 in the quarter
ended March 31, 2000 decreased by $209,543 or 31% from the quarter ended March
31, 1999 expenses of $679,083. As a percentage of revenues, research,
development and engineering expenses were 6% in both quarters ended March 31,
2000 and 1999. The decreased research, development and engineering expenses were
due primarily to the Company's completion of work on a large proposal, which was
subsequently awarded to the Company and resulted in all additional development
expenses being charged directly to the contract.

     General and administrative expenses of $1,341,910 for the quarter ended
March 31, 2000 increased by $17,865 or 1% from the quarter ended March 31, 1999
expenses of $1,324,045. As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative
expenses were 17% and 11% for the quarters ended March 31, 2000 and 1999,
respectively. The general and administrative expenses increase was due primarily
to an increase in amounts due under deferred compensation arrangements. The
deferred compensation arrangements are related to the Company's investment in
marketable securities whereby increases or decreases in the fair value of
these investments have a corresponding increase or decrease in deferred
compensation. Accordingly, there is no effect on income before taxes.

     Non-recurring expense was $685,813 for the quarter ended March 31, 2000
compared to $0 for the quarter ended March 31, 1999. The non-recurring expense
relates to the amendment and/or separation negotiations related to certain
employment agreements during the quarter ended March 31, 2000.

     Income (loss) from operations was ($75,117) for the quarter ended March 31,
2000 compared to $3,642,330 in the quarter ended March 31, 1999, a decrease of
$3,717,447. As a percentage of revenues, The loss from operations for the
quarter ended March 31, 2000 was a negative 1% of revenues compared



                                    Page 12






<PAGE>



to the income from operations for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 which was 30%
of revenues. The reduction in income from operations overall resulted primarily
from decreased revenues and gross profits, and the non-recurring expense as
discussed above.

     Interest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 was decreased by
$193,264 to $46,464 compared to $239,728 in the quarter ended March 31, 1999.
This decrease was due to a reduction in outstanding credit balances for the
period ended March 31, 2000.

     Investment income for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 increased by
$232,147 to $232,859 compared to $712 for the quarter ended March 31, 1999. This
increase was due to the recognition of the increase in fair value of the
Company's marketable securities, classified as trading securities, of $221,297,
which are associated with the Company's deferred compensation plan, as discussed
above under general and administrative expenses.

     The Company's net income was $59,524 in the quarter ended March 31, 2000
compared to $2,068,156 in 1999. Net income as a percentage of revenues decreased
to 1% in the quarter ended March 31, 2000 from 17% in the quarter ended March
31, 1999. The reduction in net income overall resulted from decreased revenues
and gross profits and the non-recurring expense, as discussed above.

     The Company's basic earnings per share were $0.00 ($0.00 diluted) in the
quarter ended March 31, 2000 compared to $0.17 ($0.16 diluted) in 1999. The
reduction in earnings per share was due in part to the reduced net income, but
was also affected by the increase in shares outstanding from the exercise of
outstanding warrants following the warrant call which took place in June 1999.
Basic shares outstanding increased to 17,506,124 from 12,299,889 for the three
months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively, and fully diluted shares
outstanding increased to 18,087,544 from 13,318,554 for the three months ended
March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

Six Months ended March 31, 2000 vs. March 31, 1999

     Revenues for the six months ended March 31, 2000 were $15,599,835, a
decrease of $5,180,191 or 25% from the six months ended March 31, 1999 revenues
of $20,780,026. This decrease in revenues was primarily due to a decrease of
approximately 56% in signal intelligence products revenue which was partially
offset by an increase of approximately 41% in C4 products revenue in this six
months.

     Gross profit was $7,436,180 for the six months ended March 31, 2000 or 48%
of revenues, compared to $11,048,245 or 51% of revenues in the six months ended
March 31, 1999, a total decrease of $3,612,065 or 33%. This decrease in gross
profitability was a direct result of the decreased revenues and the related
product mix, as discussed above. In addition, the Company made a change in
accounting estimate totaling $150,000 due to a change in the estimated useful
life of certain tooling and engineering assets related to the Company's medical
products. The Company will reach the end of the estimated useful life of these
assets with the completion of their last remaining medical contract in the third
quarter of 2000.

     Sales and marketing expenses of $996,615 for the six months ended March 31,
2000 decreased by $27,989 or 3% from the six months ended March 31, 1999
expenses of $1,024,604. Sales and marketing expense were substantially unchanged
between the periods. As a percentage of revenues, sales and marketing expenses
were approximately 6% and 5% in the six months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999,
respectively.

     Research, development and engineering expenses of $1,085,999 for the six
months ended March 31, 2000 decreased by $138,539 or 11% from the six months
ended March 31, 1999 expenses of $1,224,538. As a percentage of revenues,
research, development and engineering expenses were 7% and 6% in the six months
ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The decreased research, development
and engineering expenses were due primarily to the Company's completion of work
on a large proposal during the quarter ended March 31, 2000, which was
subsequently awarded to the Company.

     General and administrative expenses of $2,499,471 in the six months ended
March 31, 2000 increased by $95,438 or 4% from the six months ended March 31,
1999 expenses of $2,404,033. As a percentage of revenues, general and
administrative expenses were 16% and 12% in the six months ended March 31, 2000
and 1999, respectively. The general and administrative expenses increase was due
primarily to an increase in amounts due under deferred compensation
arrangements. The deferred compensation arrangements are related to the
Company's investment in marketable securities whereby increases or decreases in
the fair value of these investments have a corresponding increase or decrease in
deferred compensation. Accordingly, there is no effect on income before taxes.

     Income from operations was $1,151,919 for the six months ended March 31,
2000 compared to $5,373,385 for the six months ended March 31, 1999, a decrease
of $4,221,466. As a percentage of revenues, income from operations decreased to
7% for the six months ended March 31, 2000 from 24% for the six months ended
March 31, 1999. The reduction in income from operations overall resulted
primarily from decreased revenues and gross profits, increased general and
administrative expenses and non-recurring expense as discussed above.

     Interest expense for the six months ended March 31, 2000 decreased by
$392,781 to $93,891 compared to $486,672 for the six months ended March 31,
1999. This decrease was due to a reduction in outstanding credit balances for
the six months ended March 31, 2000.

     Investment income for the six months ended March 31, 2000 increased by
$198,858 to $245,963 compared to $47,106 for the quarter ended March 31, 1999.
This increase was due to the recognition of the increase in fair value of the
Company's marketable securities classified as trading securities of $221,297,
which are associated with the Company's deferred compensation plan, as discussed
above under general and administrative expenses.

     The Company's net income was $685,444 for the six months ended March 31,
2000 compared to $3,001,728 for the six months ended March 31, 1999. Net income
as a percentage of revenues decreased to 4% in the six months ended March 31,
2000 from 14% in the six months ended March 31, 1999. The reduction in net
income overall resulted primarily from decreased revenues and gross profits and
the non-recurring expense, as discussed above.

     The Company's basic earnings per share were $0.04 ($0.04 diluted) for the
six months ended March 31, 2000 compared to $0.25 ($0.24 diluted) for 1999. The
reduction in earnings per share was due in part to the reduced net income, but
was also affected by the increase in shares outstanding from the exercise of
outstanding warrants following the warrant call which took place in June 1999.
Basic shares outstanding increased to 17,539,163 from 12,276,104 for the six
months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively, and diluted shares
outstanding increased to 18,043,873 for the six months ended March 31, 2000 from
12,701,185 for the six months ended March 31, 1999.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Company has floating rate financing with National City Bank (the
"Bank") in an amount up to $18,000,000 under a revolving line of credit with a
maturity date of December 31, 2001, convertible thereafter to five year term
debt. The loan agreement includes various loan covenants and restrictions of a
customary nature which may, under certain circumstances, limit the ability of
the Company to pay cash dividends, undertake additional acquisitions, make
certain changes in the Company's management, or otherwise limit obligations
undertaken by, or operations of, the Company. As of March 31, 2000, there were
no borrowings outstanding under this arrangement with the Bank.

     In addition, the Company has subordinated notes, payable to each of the
previous shareholders of EDL and STL, aggregating $1,944,983, as of March 31,
2000. These notes bear interest at 8%, are payable in quarterly payments which
began April 1, 1999 and mature on January 1, 2002. These notes are subordinate
to the rights of the Bank.

     The Company incurred $666,114 of costs, including capitalized interest of
$5,071, related to the acquisition and initial build-out of a new manufacturing
facility in Melbourne, acquired during the quarter ended March 31, 2000. The
Company expects the total costs to be approximately $1.6 million for the first
phase and the initial build-out to be complete by the quarter ended June 30,
2000. The acquisition of the land and building amounted to $558,655. The
acquisition and subsequent build-out was financed by a mortgage note payable
with First Union National Bank ("First Union"). The mortgage note payable
provides up to $3,200,000 with a variable interest rate based on the one month
LIBOR plus 1.65%. Payments of interest only will be made through December 2001
after which monthly payments of principal and interest will be made until note
matures on December 1, 2016.

     The Company has a dependence upon a few major customers for a significant
portion of its revenues. This dependence for revenues has not been responsible
for any unusual fluctuations in operating results in the past, and management
does not believe this concentration will generate fluctuations in operating
results in the future. However, the potential impact of losing a major customer
without securing offsetting and equivalent orders could result in a significant
negative impact to the operating results of the Company. The gross margin
contributions of the Company's major customers are not generally different from
those from its other customers as a whole.

     The Company's operating cash flow was $3,408,568 for the six months ended
March 31, 2000 compared to a $3,189,098 use of net cash in operating activities
during the six month period ended March 31, 1999. This resulted primarily from
decreases in accounts receivable and inventory, offset by decreases in accounts
payable and accrued expenses for the six months ended March 31, 2000.

     As of March 31, 2000, management believes inventory balances are not in
excess of requirements for deliveries and normal minimum stocking levels.

     Generally, accounts receivable at the end of each quarter are collected
within the following quarter. The Company's total outstanding accounts
receivable balance of $5,595,876 at March 31, 2000 has been subsequently reduced
by approximately $3,665,334 in cash collections. The Company has provided an
allowance for certain older balances of $66,962. This allowance is believed to
be sufficient to address any uncollectible balances outstanding as of March 31,
2000.

     On June 3, 1998, the Company entered into a loan agreement with an officer
and director of the Company. The note receivable of $215,685 bears interest at
the rate of interest then applicable for



                                    Page 15






<PAGE>



borrowings by the Company under the Company's then-existing line of credit or
other primary lending arrangement with its primary lender, with interest payable
annually, and matures on June 3, 2003.

  As of March 31, 2000 and 1999, the Company's backlog was approximately $17.3
million and $18.8 million, respectively, consisting of firm fixed price purchase
orders. These purchase orders are expected to generate profits, and the Company
believes that the completion of the orders comprising its backlog, and any new
orders which may be accepted by the Company in the future, should not result in
additional liquidity pressures which cannot be addressed in a manner consistent
with the Company's past practices. The Company currently expects to manufacture
and deliver substantially all of the products in backlog within the next 12
months. In addition to the firm fixed price purchase orders, the Company has
approximately $7.9 million in unfunded deliverables from an indefinite delivery,
indefinite quantity ("IDIQ") contract to be completed over the next 48 months.

     On November 2, 1999, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to
repurchase up to 1,000,000 of its outstanding shares of common stock within the
twelve month period following such date for a maximum purchase price, including
commissions, not to exceed $3,500,000 in the aggregate. During the six months
ended March 31, 2000, the Company repurchased 102,673 shares of its common stock
for a total cost of $384,914 at an average purchase price of $2.72 per share.

     The Company anticipates, based on its currently proposed plans and
assumptions relating to its operations, that the Company's existing working
capital and anticipated cash flows from the Company's operations will be
sufficient to satisfy the Company's cash requirements for at least twelve
months. As the Company continues to grow, additional bank borrowings, such as
under the revolving line of credit, as previously described, other debt
placements and equity offerings may be considered, in part or in combination, as
the situation warrants. In addition, in the event the Company's plans change or
its assumptions change or prove to be inaccurate, or if projected cash flow
otherwise proves insufficient to fund operations, the Company might need to seek
other sources of financing to conduct its operations. There can be no assurance
that any such other sources of financing would be available when needed, on
commercially reasonable terms, or at all.

                              SEPARATION AGREEMENT

         This Separation Agreement ("Agreement") is made and entered into as of
March 27, 2000, by and between Paravant Inc., a Florida corporation (the
"Company") and Kevin J. Bartczak ("Bartczak").

                                   Background

     Bartczak is currently employed by the Company as its Vice President, Chief
     Financial Officer and Treasurer pursuant to an Employment Agreement dated
     January 1, 1999 (the "Employment Agreement"). The Company and Bartczak wish
     to terminate the Employment Agreement and to mutually, amicably and finally
     settle all matters relating to Bartczak's employment with and separation
     from the Company. In consideration of the mutual promises contained herein
     and for other good valuable consideration, the receipt, adequacy and
     sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as
     follows:

                                      Terms

                1. Termination of Employment. Bartczak and the Company hereby
     agree to terminate Bartczak's employment with the Company pursuant to the
     Employment Agreement by mutual agreement, effective as of June 30, 2000
     (the "Last Day Worked"); provided, however, that Bartczak may elect under
     this Agreement to terminate his employment with the Company pursuant to the
     Employment Agreement prior to June 30, 2000 to begin employment with
     another business entity (an "Early Termination"), in which case Bartczak's
     "Last Day Worked" hereunder shall be his final working day with the Company
     prior to his departure for employment with the other business entity.
     Except as provided in this Agreement, from the date of this Agreement
     through the Last Day Worked, Bartczak shall continue to receive his current
     compensation and benefits from the Company pursuant to the Employment
     Agreement. Except as provided in this Agreement, from and after the Last
     Day Worked, Bartczak shall not be entitled to receive any further
     compensation or benefits from the Company pursuant to the Employment
     Agreement or otherwise.

                2. Duties. From the date of this Agreement through the Last Day
     Worked, Bartczak shall continue to devote his full business time and
     attention to the performance of his duties as set forth in Section 3 of the
     Employment Agreement; provided, however, that the Company agrees that
     Bartczak may use reasonable amounts of time to pursue and interview for
     other employment so long as such efforts do not interfere with his duties
     under Section 3 of the Employment Agreement.

                3. Severance Payments.

                3.1 For a period of 6 months following Bartczak's Last Day
     Worked, the Company shall make severance payments to Bartczak in the form
     of continuation of his annual base salary of $121,000 in effect on the Last
     Day Worked in regular installments in accordance with the Company's usual
     payroll practices.


                                       1









<PAGE>



                3.2 Upon the Company's first regular payroll date following the
     end of the 6-month period set forth in Section 3.1 above, the Company shall
     make a lump sum payment to Bartczak equal to one-half of his annual base
     salary of $121,000 in effect on the Last Day Worked.

                3.3 Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of an Early
     Termination under Section 1 above, in lieu of the payments referred to in
     Sections 3.1 and 3.2 above, the Company shall make a lump sum payment to
     Bartczak equal to his annual base salary of $121,000 in effect on the Last
     Day Worked upon the Company's first regular payroll date following his Last
     Day Worked.

                4. Health Insurance. Bartczak will be provided with separate
     notice of his COBRA rights. In the event Bartczak elects health care
     continuation coverage under COBRA, the Company will pay his COBRA insurance
     premiums (except that Bartczak will continue to pay any applicable employee
     share of these premiums as if he were an active employee) until the earlier
     of (i) 6 months after the Last Day Worked or (ii) the date upon which
     Bartczak has become employed by another business entity and becomes
     eligible for coverage by a health insurance plan providing substantially
     similar coverage. Thereafter, Bartczak shall be solely responsible for the
     payment of any COBRA premiums.

                5. Severance Period Benefits. Provided that there has not been
     an Early Termination under Section 1 above, for a period of 6 months
     following Bartczak's Last Day Worked, the Company shall provide the
     following benefits to Bartczak:

                5.1 The Company shall pay for Bartczak's cell phone charges in
     accordance with his AT&T Digital One Rate Plan (not to exceed $120 per
     month).

                5.2 The Company shall pay Bartczak's Eau Gallie Yacht Club
     expenses (not to exceed $250 per month) in addition to any applicable
     monthly or annual dues.

                5.3 Bartczak shall be entitled to retain his voice mail box at
     the Company and shall have reasonable access to temporary administrative
     assistance (including fax and typing service), such assistance to be
     coordinated through the Company's Director of Human Resources.

                6. Other Agreements.

                6.1 Following his Last Day Worked, Bartczak shall be entitled to
     retain his Sony laptop computer and its accessories (and Bartczak shall be
     responsible for any related tax liability).

                6.2 Bartczak shall continue to have the use of the automobile
     leased for him by the Company for 30 days following his Last Day Worked,
     and the Company shall pay all taxes, insurance and lease payments during
     such period. Bartczak shall return the leased automobile to the Company
     immediately following the end of such 30 day period.

                6.3 Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.01 of the
     Non-Qualified Designated Employee Deferred Compensation Plan and Agreement
     dated December 15, 1998 (the "Plan") requiring that Bartczak continue
     employment for three years from the date of the Plan, Bartczak will be
     deemed to have earned all benefits that have accrued under the Plan as of
     the Last Day Worked. In addition, at the time of any payment made to
     Bartczak pursuant to Section 3 of this Agreement, the Company also shall
     credit to Bartczak under the Plan an amount equal to 20% of such payment,
     which amount shall be treated as additional deferred compensation earned
     under the Plan (the "Severance Deferred Compensation"). Such accrued
     benefits under the Plan (including the Severance Deferred


                                       2








<PAGE>



     Compensation), and all earnings through the date of payment provided in
     accordance with Section 1.02 of the Plan (which together shall be referred
     to as the "Deferred Compensation"), shall be paid in a single lump sum (net
     of any withholding taxes) on the first anniversary of the Last Day Worked,
     provided that Bartczak has not violated Article XV of the Plan during such
     one-year period. Until such time as the foregoing Deferred Compensation is
     paid to Bartczak, all terms and conditions of the Plan shall remain in
     effect except as specifically modified herein, and Bartczak shall remain a
     general unsecured creditor of the Company subject to the forfeiture
     provisions of Section 2.01 and Article XV of the Plan.

                6.4 Bartczak shall continue to accrue vacation during the period
     commencing on the date of this Agreement and ending on his Last Day Worked
     in accordance with the Company's prevailing policy for its operating
     executives and may use all such accrued vacation (in addition to any
     previously accrued vacation) prior to his Last Day Worked.

                7. Stock Options. Bartczak and the Company acknowledge that
     Bartczak previously has been granted options to purchase shares of Company
     common stock as set forth on Exhibit A to this Agreement (the "Options").
     Bartczak and the Company agree that, notwithstanding the terms of the
     Options and their related agreements, all unvested Options shall become
     fully vested and immediately exercisable on the Last Day Worked. Bartczak
     shall have 30 days following the Last Day Worked to exercise any such
     Options, and such Options will terminate if not exercised; provided,
     however, that if the Company's Incentive Stock Option Plan is amended prior
     to the Last Day Worked to permit a longer period for exercise following
     termination of employment, Bartczak shall have such longer period to
     exercise such Options. Bartczak may, at his sole election with respect to
     any of the Options, engage in a cashless exercise of his Options under
     Section 5(C) of the Incentive Stock Option Plan through the delivery of
     shares of common stock with a fair market value at the time of exercise of
     the Options equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Options; provided,
     however, that the foregoing shall not obligate Bartczak to engage in a
     cashless (or other) exercise of any of his Options.

                8. Taxes. Bartczak shall be solely responsible for paying any
     taxes on amounts he receives pursuant to this Agreement. Bartczak agrees
     that the Company will withhold all taxes it determines it is legally
     required to withhold.

                9. Certain Indemnity. Following Bartczak's Last Day Worked, the
     Company will indemnify and defend Bartczak in the same manner and to the
     same degree as if he was an employee, executive, officer and director of
     the Company, for all litigation or other actions brought against Bartczak
     originating as a result of association of Bartczak with the Company,
     including but not limited to all claims, liability, damage, loss, expense,
     attorneys' fees, court costs, judgments, settlements, and fines.

                10. Survival of Certain Provisions of Employment Agreement.
     Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Sections 11, 12 and
     13 of the Employment Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and
     continue to be binding upon the parties; provided, however, that for the
     purposes of Section 11 of the Employment Agreement, the one year period
     shall commence on January 1, 2001.

                11. Nondisclosure. Bartczak shall keep the terms and existence
     of this Agreement completely and strictly confidential, and shall not
     disclose any information concerning this Agreement to any person other than
     his attorneys and accountants or as required by law. Bartczak recognizes
     that the Company may be obligated to disclose this Agreement and the terms
     and conditions hereof in any securities offering documents and periodic
     reports the Company may become required to file under U.S. federal
     securities laws.

                12. Mutual Release. In consideration of the mutual promises
     contained herein, and except as specifically agreed in this Agreement, the
     Company hereby releases and forever discharges Bartczak, and Bartczak
     hereby releases and forever discharges the Company, its affiliates and each
     of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, representatives
     and attorneys, from any and all claims, demands or liabilities whatsoever
     in connection with or arising from Bartczak's employment with the Company
     or the termination of that employment, including but not limited to: any
     and all claims for breach of contract, express or implied; any form of
     compensation or benefits; wrongful termination; constructive discharge;
     discrimination of any type (including but not limited to any form of age
     discrimination under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act); any tort of
     any nature; and any and all client claims arising under any federal, state
     or local statute, law, ordinance or regulation.

                13. Dispute Resolution. If a legally cognizable dispute arises
     out of or relates to this Agreement or the breach, termination or validity
     thereof, or the compensation, promotion, demotion, discipline, discharge or
     terms and conditions of employment of Bartczak, and if said dispute cannot
     be resolved through direct discussions, the parties agree to try in good
     faith to settle the dispute by mediation administered by the American
     Arbitration Association under its National Rules for the Resolution of
     Employment Disputes. If the parties cannot settle the dispute by mediation,
     the parties agree to settle the dispute by binding arbitration in
     accordance with the National Rules for the Resolution of Employment
     Disputes of the American Arbitration Association. Judgment upon the award
     rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction
     thereof, except that disputes involving or concerning the provisions of
     Sections 11, 12 and 13 of the Employment Agreement, may, at the Company's
     discretion, be settled by any court having jurisdiction thereof or decided
     by mediation/arbitration pursuant to this section. Disputes subject to
     binding arbitration pursuant to this section include all tort and contract
     claims as well as claims brought under all applicable federal, state or
     local statutes, laws, regulations or ordinances. Each party shall pay for
     its own fees and expenses of mediation and arbitration.

                14. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and
     construed and enforced in accordance with the law of the State of Florida.

                15. Severability. If any provision or part of any provision of
     this Agreement shall not be valid for any reason, such provision shall be
     entirely severable from, and shall have no effect upon, the remainder of
     this Agreement.

                16. The Company's Assignees and Successors. The Company may
     assign this Agreement to its successors and assigns and any such successors
     and assigns shall be entitled to all of the Company's rights hereunder.

                17. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the sole and
     entire Agreement between the Company and Bartczak. All prior contracts,
     agreements, or promises of any kind relating to the employment relationship
     of the parties are hereby canceled and discharged and have no further
     effect whatsoever. Except as specifically provided herein, this Agreement
     can be modified only by a written agreement duly executed by the parties
     hereto.

                18. Plain Meaning. This Agreement shall be interpreted in
     accordance with the plain meaning of its terms and not for or against the
     drafter.

                19. Voluntary Nature of Agreement. The parties hereto are
     entering into this Agreement voluntarily without duress on the part of
     either party. Bartczak has been advised to, and has had an opportunity to,
     consult with an attorney before signing this Agreement. Bartczak has also
     been advised that he may take up to twenty-one (21) days to consider this
     Agreement before signing it and that he may revoke this Agreement within
     seven (7) days after signing it. Should Bartczak revoke this Agreement
     within seven (7) days after signing it, this Agreement shall become null
     and void.

                20. Nondisparagement. Bartczak agrees that he will not at any
     time intentionally disparage the Company in any manner or the personal or
     business reputation of any of its directors or officers, and the Company
     agrees that neither it nor its officers or directors will at any time
     intentionally disparage Bartczak or his personal or business reputation;
     provided, however, that each party shall testify truthfully under oath
     pursuant to a subpoena, court order or other valid legal process.
