2.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The principal accounting policies upon which the accompanying consolidated
financial statements are based are summarized as follows:

a.  Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have
been eliminated in consolidation. The consolidated financial statements have
been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and
include all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary
for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented. All such
adjustments are, in the opinion of management, of a normal, recurring nature.
While the Company believes that the disclosures presented are adequate to
make the information not misleading, it is suggested that these consolidated
financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements and related notes included in the Company's latest annual report
on Form 10-K.

b.  Stock Dividend and Split

The Company's Board of Directors declared a 5% stock dividend of the
Company's common stock on January 28, 1999. The stock dividend was payable
March 1, 1999 to shareholders of record on February 15, 1999. The stock
dividend resulted in the issuance of 601,455 shares of common stock. The
dividend has been accounted for as if it occurred on December 31, 1998.

The Company's Board of Directors declared a 3-for-2 stock split of the
Company's common stock on April 21, 1998. The stock split was in the form of
a 50% common stock dividend payable June 12, 1998 to shareholders of record
on May 29, 1998. Share and per share data have been restated to reflect the
stock split as of the earliest period presented.

c.  Inventories

and include appropriate elements of material, labor and manufacturing
overhead.

                                  (Unaudited)

d.  Plant and Equipment

Significant expenditures for the replacement or expansion of plant and
equipment are capitalized. Depreciation of plant and equipment is provided
over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets using the
straight-line method. Estimated useful lives range from 3 to 20 years.

e.  Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue from product sales upon shipment to the
customer. Revenues related to equipment rental and services are recognized as
earned over the terms of the contracts.

f.  Use of Estimates

Management of the Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions
relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these consolidated financial
statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

g.  Net Income Per Common Share

Net income per share - basic has been computed on the basis of the weighted
average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Net income per share -
diluted has been computed on the basis of the weighted average number of
shares of common stock outstanding after giving effect to potential common
shares from dilutive stock options. Net income per share - diluted includes
an increase in the weighted average shares outstanding for dilutive stock
options of 574,448 and 620,880 for the three and six months ended June 30,
1999, respectively and 701,805 and 697,940 for the three and six months ended
June 30, 1998, respectively.

4.  Acquisitions

During January of 1998, the Company purchased substantially all of the net

Effective April 1, 1998, the Company purchased substantially all of the net
assets of Design and Manufacturing, Ltd. ("Design") for cash and stock of
approximately $5.5 million. The Company also assumed liabilities of
approximately $207,000. The cash portion of the purchase price was financed
through operating cash flows. In connection with the acquisition, goodwill of
approximately $2.5 million was recorded and will be amortized over 15 years.
Design is a leading supplier of film platter systems to the motion picture
exhibition industry and was a vendor of the Company. In a related transaction
in May 1998, the Company purchased land and a building for $500,000 from the
former owner of Design.

During June of 1998, the Company purchased substantially all of the assets of
a distributor of follow spotlights for a purchase price of $125,000.

5.  Business Segment Information

The Company's operations are conducted principally through three business
segments: Theatre, Lighting and Restaurant. Theatre operations include the
design, manufacture, assembly and sale of motion picture projectors, xenon
lamphouses and power supplies, sound systems and the sale of film handling
equipment and lenses for the theatre exhibition industry. The lighting
segment operations include the sale and rental of follow spotlights,
stationary searchlights and computer operated lighting systems for the motion
picture production, television, live entertainment, theme parks and
architectural industries. The restaurant segment includes the design,
manufacture, assembly and sale of pressure fryers, smoke ovens and
rotisseries and the sale of seasonings, marinades and barbecue sauces,
mesquite and hickory woods and point of purchase displays.

The Company allocates resources to business segments and evaluates the
performance of these segments based upon reported segment gross profit.
However, certain key operations of a particular segment are tracked on the
basis of operating profit. There are no significant intersegment sales. All
intersegment transfers are recorded at historical cost. Prior year amounts
have been presented to conform with the current year presentation.

6.  Related Party Transaction

On June 24, 1999, the Company advanced $500,000 to the Chairman of the Board
of the Company under a term loan agreement. The unpaid balance on the loan
bears interest at 1% above the current rate on the Company's revolving credit
facility. The terms of the loan have been amended eliminating the provisions
granting the Company a security interest and the right to apply payments from
the borrower's consulting agreement. In conjunction with the agreement, the
Chairman has entered into an agreement with ARC International Corporation
("ARC") to loan the proceeds from this note to ARC under similar terms.

7.  Notes Payable to Bank

On August 10, 1999, the Company's revolving credit facility was amended to
extend the maturity date to May 31, 2001. As such the unpaid balance of the
facility is included in long term liabilities on the balance sheet at June 30,
1999.

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30,
1998

Net revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1999 (the "1999 Period")
increased $5.9 million or 38.2% to $21.3 million from $15.4 million for the
three months ended June 30, 1998 (the "1998 Period"). The following table
shows comparative net revenues of theatre, lighting and restaurant products
for the respective periods:

</TABLE>

The increase in total net revenues primarily reflects higher sales of theatre
products. The increase in theatre products relates to higher sales of
commercial motion picture projection equipment ("projection equipment"),
which rose $4.4 million or 41.6% from $10.5 million in the 1998 Period to
$14.9 million in the 1999 Period. This reflects increased sales of projection
equipment to domestic customers as motion picture exhibitors continue to
build new multi-screen theatre complexes. Replacement part sales for the
theatre segment were also higher in the 1999 Period increasing $0.4 million
from the 1998 Period. Sales of ISCO-Optic lenses were lower in the 1999
Period decreasing $0.2 million to $1.3 million in the 1999 Period from
$1.5 million in the 1998 Period. Sales of ISCO-Optic lenses and replacement
parts fluctuate from quarter to quarter and are not directly related to the
volume of projection equipment sold, but are more a reflection of the needs
of current customers which have projection systems previously purchased from
the Company.

Lighting segment revenue also contributed to the increase in total net
revenues, contributing $2.4 million in sales and rentals, an increase of
$1.1 million over the $1.3 million contributed in the 1998 Period. The
increase was mainly due to higher sales and rentals of the Sky-Tracker
product line and to the contribution of the Company's AV rental and sales
division in Florida which did not start operations until May of 1998.

Restaurant sales rose $.16 million to $.74 million compared to $.58 million a
year ago.

Overall, consolidated net revenues from domestic customers increased
$6.5 million to $18.0 million in the 1999 Period from $11.5 million in the
1998 Period. Net revenues from foreign customers decreased $.7 million or
18.0% to $3.3 million from $4.0 million in the 1998 Period. This decrease was
attributable to lower sales in Asia, Canada and Mexico compared to the prior
year.

Gross profit increased $1.4 million in the 1999 Period to $6.2 million, but
as a percent of revenue decreased to 29.1% from 30.9% in the 1998 Period.
Theatre segment gross profit as a percentage of net revenues decreased to
29.7% from 31.1% in the 1998 Period due to certain pricing concessions with a
major customer and due to a product mix that included more lower margin items
such as consoles. Gross margin as a percentage of net revenues in the
lighting segment decreased from 32.5% in the 1998 Period to 26.9% in the 1999
Period. This decline was due to lower rental revenues as a percentage of
total revenues and lower rental revenues compared to the 1998 Period. Rental
revenue generally carries a higher margin than product sales. Restaurant
margins as a percentage of sales declined from 25.0% to 21.7% in the 1999
Period due to a different product mix compared to prior year.

Operating expenses in the 1999 Period increased approximately $.5 million or
20.6% from the 1998 Period. As a percentage of net revenues, such expenses
decreased to 14.4% for the 1999 Period from 16.5% for the 1998 Period. The
decrease mainly related to sales during the 1998 Period being below those
originally forecasted. Had the sales been higher, the percentage would be
similar to the 1999 Period, as these sales would have occurred without
additional operating expenses.

Net interest expense was $187,303 in the 1999 Period compared to net interest
income of $4,935 in the 1998 Period. The change from the prior year reflects
lower cash on hand and higher interest expense due to borrowings on the
Company's line of credit with Norwest Bank. These borrowings were
necessitated due to the repurchase of 1.8 million shares of common stock
during the third and fourth quarters of 1998.

The Company's effective tax rate for the 1999 Period was 38.0% compared to
35.9% in the 1998 Period. The increase reflects higher state taxes related to
the Company having operations in more states than the prior year. The
difference between the Company's effective tax rate and the Federal statutory
rate of 34% reflects the non-deductibility of certain intangible assets,
principally goodwill and the impact of state income taxes.

For the reasons outlined above, net income increased $.4 million or 27.9% to
$1.8 million in the 1999 Period from $1.4 million in the 1998 Period. Net
income per share - basic and diluted was $0.14 per share, respectively for
the 1999 Period while net income per share - basic for the 1998 period was
$0.10 and net income per share - diluted was $0.09 per share for the same
period.

</TABLE>

The increase in total net revenues primarily reflects higher sales of theatre
products. The increase in theatre products relate to higher sales of
commercial motion picture projection equipment ("projection equipment"),
which rose $6.7 million or 30.0% from $22.3 million in the 1998 Period to
$29.0 million in the 1999 Period. This reflects increased sales of projection
equipment to domestic customers as motion picture exhibitors continue to
build new multi-screen theatre complexes. Also contributing to the increase
in theatre products were higher sales of replacement parts and ISCO-Optic
lenses. Replacement parts sales increased $.3 million from the prior period
while sales of ISCO-Optic lenses rose $.2 million from the same period a year
ago. ISCO-Optic is a trademark of ISCO-Optic GmbH. Sales of ISCO-Optic lenses
and replacement parts fluctuate from quarter to quarter and are not directly
related to the volume of projection equipment sold, but are more a reflection
of the needs of current customers which have projection systems previously
purchased from the Company.

Lighting segment revenue also contributed to the increase in total net
revenues, contributing $4.4 million in sales and rentals, an increase of
$1.4 million over the 1998 Period. The increase was mainly due to higher
sales and rentals of the Sky-Tracker product line and to the new AV operating
division in Florida which contributed $1.2 million in sales and rentals
during the 1999 Period.

Restaurant sales rose $.2 million to $1.3 million from $1.1 million in the
1998 period.

Overall, consolidated net revenues from domestic customers increased
$10.1 million to $35.2 million in the 1999 Period from $25.1 million in the
1998 Period. Net revenues from foreign customers decreased $1.3 million or
17.7% to $6.3 million from $7.6 million in the 1998 Period. This decrease was
attributable to decreased sales in Asia, Canada and Mexico.

Gross profit decreased to 29.8% as a percentage of net revenues from 30.8% in
the 1998 Period. Theatre segment gross profit as a percentage of net revenues
decreased from 30.7% in the 1998 Period to 30.2% in the 1999 Period due to
certain pricing concessions with a major customer and due to more lower
margin console sales during the 1999 period. Lighting segment gross margins
as a percentage of net revenue also declined from 33.5% in the 1998 Period to
28.8% in the 1999 Period. This decrease was mainly due to lower rental
revenue as a percentage of net revenues compared to the prior year.
Restaurant margins decreased to 21.6% in the 1999 Period from 27.3% in the
1998 Period due to a change in the product mix from the prior period.


                                       13

<PAGE>

Operating expenses in the 1999 Period increased approximately $1.1 million
from the 1998 Period. As a percentage of net revenues, such expenses
decreased to 14.6% compared to 15.2% a year ago. The decrease was mainly
attributed to the second quarter of 1998, where sales were lower than
forecasted levels. As such, the sales did not cover certain fixed overhead
costs. If the sales had been closer to the 1999 levels, operating expenses as
a percentage of revenues would have been more comparable.

Net interest expense was $419,467 for the 1999 Period compared to net
interest income of $73,915 in the 1998 Period. The change from the prior year
reflects lower cash on hand and higher interest expense due to borrowings on
the Company's line of credit with Norwest Bank. These borrowings were
primarily due to the repurchase of 1.8 million shares of common stock during
the third and fourth quarters of 1998.

The Company's effective tax rate for the 1999 Period was 38.2% compared to
35.6% in the 1998 Period. The increase reflects higher state taxes related to
the Company having operations in more states. The difference between the
Company's effective tax rate and the Federal statutory rate of 34% reflects
the non-deductibility of certain intangible assets, principally goodwill and
the impact of state income taxes.

For the reasons outlined above, net income increased $.3 million or 10.0% to
$3.6 million in the 1999 Period from $3.3 million in the 1998 Period. Net
income per share - basic was $0.29 per share and $.23 per share for the six
months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively while net income per share -
diluted was $.28 per share and $.22 per share for the six months ended June 30,
1999 and 1998, respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of June 30, 1999, the Company maintained a $20 million line of credit with
Norwest Bank Nebraska, N.A. (the "Norwest Facility"). At June 30, 1999,
$7.3 million of the Norwest Facility was unused. Borrowings outstanding under
the Norwest Facility bear interest, payable monthly, at a rate equal to the
Prime Rate less 0.5% (7.0% at June 30, 1999). All of the Company's assets
secure the Norwest Facility. The Company was in compliance with all
restrictive covenants at June 30, 1999 and 1998.

Historically the Company has funded its working capital requirements through
cash flow generated by its operations. Net cash provided by operating
activities ("operating cash flow") was $2.6 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1999 compared to cash used in operating activities of $3.3 million
for the same period a year ago. The increase in operating cash flow was due
to the timing of payments to vendors compared to 1998, a $.37 million
decrease in accounts receivable and due to net income before depreciation and
amortization being higher than the prior year by $.56 million.

The Company anticipates that internally generated funds and borrowings
available under the Norwest Facility will be sufficient to meet its working
capital needs, planned 1999 capital expenditures and to pursue opportunities
to expand its markets and businesses.

Net cash used in investing activities was $2.0 million and $4.9 million for
the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Investing
activities in the 1999 Period reflect capital expenditures while investing
activities in the 1998 Period reflect the acquisition of Sky-Tracker of
Florida, Inc. and Design and Manufacturing Ltd. along with capital
expenditures of $1.0 million.


                                       14

<PAGE>

Net cash used in financing activities was $.5 million for the 1999 Period
compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $.9 million in the
1998 Period. The reason for the change from period to period primarily
reflects the purchase of common stock for treasury for $1.1 million in the
1998 Period, and due to less borrowings on the Company's line of credit.

The Company does not engage in any hedging activities, including currency
hedging activities, in connection with its foreign operations and sales. To
date, all of the Company's international sales have been denominated in
U.S. Dollars, exclusive of Strong Westrex, Inc. sales, which are denominated in
Hong Kong dollars.

SEASONALITY

Generally, the Company's business exhibits a moderate level of seasonality as
sales of theatre products typically increase during the third and fourth
quarters. The Company believes that such increased sales reflect seasonal
increases in the construction of new motion picture screens in anticipation
of the Christmas movie season.

INFLATION

The Company believes that the relatively moderate rates of inflation in
recent years have not had a significant impact on its net revenues or
profitability. Historically, the Company has been able to offset any
inflationary effects by either increasing prices or improving cost
efficiencies.

YEAR 2000

The Company has developed a plan to deal with the year 2000 problem in
connection with its systems and began converting its systems to be year 2000
compliant. The plan provides for the conversions to be completed and tested
before the 1999 year-end. The year 2000 problem, frequently referred to as
the "millennium bug", results from the fact that computer programs in the
past have been written using only two digits to identify a year, rather than
four digits. Because of this, the computer would not recognize years
commencing with the digits "20", instead of "19", and could produce erroneous
calculations resulting in interruptions and crashes in business operating
systems. The Company's information technology systems contain inventory and
accounting systems, electronic data interchange, and mechanical systems
affecting machinery and equipment.

There are four phases involved in assessing the year 2000 problem described
by the Company as follows:

AWARENESS Identify all data-impacted systems and products; contact product
vendors concerning compliance status and plans.

ASSESSMENT Identify compliance status of all data-impacted systems and
equipment; prioritize systems and equipment based on business risk; estimate
cost and feasibility of repairing and replacing each non-compliant system and
product and finally, establish a testing approach.

IMPLEMENTATION Repair or replace each non-compliant system and product; build
contingency plans.


                                       15

<PAGE>

TESTING Test the Company's systems and products to gain assurance that the
year 2000 problem is fixed.

The information technology systems are currently in the implementation phase.
The Company expects the implementation and testing phase to be completed by
the end of the third quarter. Year 2000 issues relating to third parties
relate to the automated equipment which the Company sells its customers.
While the Company is currently assessing the impact to these products, it
believes that the equipment already complies with the year 2000 requirements.
The Company has currently incurred an inconsequential amount of costs
relating to the year 2000 problem and believes that the overall costs will be
inconsequential. The Company could incur substantial liabilities and
potential losses if the Company's conversion efforts or the conversion
efforts of any of its suppliers do not adequately solve all potential
problems, or if the automation products which the Company sells do not
operate satisfactorily because of the "millennium bug." This represents the
Company's most reasonable worst case, year 2000 scenario.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and
reporting standards for derivatives and hedging. It requires that all
derivatives be recognized as either assets or liabilities at fair value and
establishes specific criteria for the use of hedging accounting. The
Company's required adoption date is January 1, 2001. SFAS No. 133 is not to
be applied retroactively to financial statements of prior periods and as of
June 30, 1999, the Company had no derivatives or hedging activities.

     Business Day (as hereinafter defined) of the month immediately
     succeeding the month in which this Note is made and on the maturity
     date of this Note (whether by acceleration or otherwise).  All
     calculations of interest under this Note shall be made on the basis of
     the actual number of days elapsed in a 365-day year.  For purposes of
     this Note, the term "Business Day" means any day of the year other
     than a Saturday, Sunday or a holiday on which banks are required or
     authorized by law to close in Nebraska or Ontario, Canada.

                    (b)  Borrower shall pay to Payee interest on (i) overdue
     principal, (ii) to the extent permitted by applicable law, overdue
     interest and (iii) any other amounts payable by Borrower hereunder
     which are overdue at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum and such
     interest shall be payable upon written demand of Payee.

                    (c)  In no event shall the interest rate for this Note
     exceed the maximum rate permitted by law, PROVIDED that the interest
     rate payable pursuant to this Note shall be at all times the lower of
     the (i) relevant interest rate stated in this Note or (ii) maximum
     interest rate permitted under applicable law.  In the event Payee ever
     receives, collects or applies as interest any such excess, such amount
     which would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of
     such other amounts due hereunder and, if such other amounts than
     outstanding are paid in full, any remaining excess shall forthwith be
     paid to Borrower.  In determining whether or not the interest paid or
     payable, under any specific contingency, exceeds the highest lawful
     rate, Borrower and Payee shall, to the maximum extent permitted under
     applicable law, (i) characterize any non-principal payment as an
     expense, fee, or premium rather than as interest, (ii) exclude any
     voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof and (iii) spread the
     total amount of interest throughout the period during which any
     principal of this Loan remains outstanding so that the interest rate
     is uniform throughout the period during which any principal of this
     Loan remains outstanding.

<PAGE>

               3.  PREPAYMENTS.  Borrower may, at his option, at any time
     prepay the outstanding balance of this Note in whole or part.  All
     prepayments of principal hereunder, whether voluntary or otherwise
     (including, but not limited to, prepayment following acceleration of
     indebtedness evidenced by this Note upon the occurrence of an Event of
     Default (as hereinafter defined)), shall be accompanied by accrued
     interest on the amount prepaid.

               4.  DETERMINATION OF AMOUNTS.  The unpaid principal amount
     hereof, the interest rate applicable to such principal amount and the
     unpaid amount of all other obligations contained herein shall at all
     times be ascertained from the records of Payee, which records shall be
     conclusive absent manifest error.

               5.  MANNER OF PAYMENT.  All payments of amounts due
     hereunder shall be made by check to Payee at the address referred to
     above on the day when due.  All such payments shall be made in lawful
     money of the United States of America.  Whenever any payment hereunder
     shall be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be
     made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time
     shall be included in the computation of interest on such amount.

               6.  EVENTS OF DEFAULT.  For purposes of this Note, the term
     "Event of Default" means any one or more of the following events:

                   (i)   PAYMENT DEFAULT.  Borrower fails to make any
     payment of interest or principal under this Note within five (5)
     Business Days after the same shall have become due and payable,
     whether at the due date thereof or by acceleration or otherwise;

                   (ii)  BANKRUPTCY OF BORROWER.  Any proceeding, voluntary
     or involuntary, is commenced, or an order or petition is issued,
     respecting Borrower pursuant to any statute relating to bankruptcy,
     insolvency, or reorganization or readjustment of debts including,
     without limitation, any proceeding, proposal, notice of intention to
     make a proposal, order, consent or petition under the Bankruptcy and
     Insolvency Act (Canada), the United States Bankruptcy Code or any
     similar legislation in any other jurisdiction.

                   (iii) BANKRUPTCY OF ARC INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION.
     Any proceeding, voluntary or involuntary, is commenced, or an order or
     petition is issued, respecting ARC International Corporation, an
     Ontario, Canada corporation ("ARC"), pursuant to any statute relating
     to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or readjustment of debts,
     liquidation, winding-up or dissolution including, without limitation,
     any proceeding, proposal, notice of intention to make a proposal,
     order, consent or petition under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act
     (Canada), the United States Bankruptcy Code, the Company Creditors
     Arrangement Act (Canada), the Winding-up Act (Canada) or any similar
     legislation in any other jurisdiction.

                   (iv)  DEFAULT UNDER LETTER AGREEMENT.  Borrower or ARC
     defaults in the performance or observance of any term, condition or
     covenant contained in that certain letter agreement dated April 14,
     1999 among ARC, Borrower and Payee.

               7.  ACCELERATION.  Upon the occurrence of any Event of
     Default described in (A) clauses (i) and (iv) of Section 6 hereof,
     Payee may declare, at any time (unless all Events of Default shall
     theretofore have been remedied or waived) upon delivery of written
     notice to Borrower, the unpaid principal amount of any portion or all
     of this Note, all interest accrued thereon and all other amounts owing
     by Borrower to Payee hereunder to be immediately due and payable and
     (B) clauses (ii) and (iii) of Section 6 hereof, without further action
     by Payee, the unpaid principal amount of this Note, all interest
     accrued thereon and all other amounts owing by Borrower to Payee
     hereunder shall be immediately due and payable.

<PAGE>

               8.  APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS.  All payments hereunder shall
     be applied first to costs and expenses of collection, if any, then to
     accrued interest and then to the principal balance hereof.

               9.  WAIVER.  Borrower hereby waives diligence, presentment,
     protest and demand, and notice of protest, demand, dishonor,
     nonpayment and/or maturity, and all other demands or notices of any
     sort whatsoever with respect hereto, and agrees to pay all costs of
     collection, including reasonable attorneys fees, which may be incurred
     in the collection of this Note or any portion thereof.

               10.  SEVERABILITY.  If any provision of this Note, for any
     reason or to any extent, shall be invalid or unenforceable, the
     remainder of this Note shall not be affected thereby, but instead
     shall be valid and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law.

               11.  AMENDMENTS.  This Note may not be amended or modified
     except by an instrument in writing signed by the party against whom
     enforcement of such amendment or modification is sought.

               12.  ASSIGNMENT AND REMEDIES.  This Note shall bind Borrower
     and his successors and assigns; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that Borrower shall
     not transfer any of his obligations hereunder without the express
     prior written consent of Payee, and any purported transfer in
     violation of this proviso shall be void AB INITIO.  This Note shall
     inure to the benefit of Payee and its transferees, successors and
     assigns.  The rights and remedies of Payee hereunder are cumulative
     and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies it may have
     hereunder, pursuant to other agreements or instruments or otherwise,
     or at law or in equity.

               13.  APPLICABLE LAW, VENUE AND JURISDICTION.  THIS NOTE
     SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE
     STATE OF NEBRASKA, WITHOUT REGARD FOR ITS CONFLICT OF LAWS RULES.
     Borrower hereby submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the United
     States District Court for Nebraska and of any Nebraska State court
     located in the County of Douglas, Nebraska for the purposes of all
     legal proceedings arising out of or relating to this Note or the
     transactions contemplated hereby.  Borrower irrevocably waives, to the
     fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which he may now or
     hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such proceeding
     brought in such a court and any claim that any proceeding brought in
     such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.  BORROWER
     HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL
     PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS NOTE OR THE TRANSACTIONS
     CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Borrower has duly executed this note on the date
     first above written.
