STOCK OPTION PLANS

       In October 1990, the Company adopted the 1990 Stock Option Plan (the
"1990 Plan") covering 250,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock, $.001 par
value, pursuant to which officers, Directors and key employees of the Company
are eligible to receive incentive and/or non-qualified stock options. In March
1992, the Company amended the 1990 Plan and increased the number of shares
reserved under the 1990 Plan from 250,000 shares to 400,000 shares. In January
1993, subject to shareholder approval which was obtained in May 1993, the Board
of Directors adopted the 1993 Stock Option Plan (the "1993 Plan") covering
250,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock $.001 par value, pursuant to which
officers, directors and key employees of the Company are eligible to receive
incentive and/or non-qualified stock options. In December 1993, the Company
amended the 1993 Plan and increased the number of shares reserved for issuance
thereunder by 350,000 shares, from 250,000 shares to 600,000 shares. In December
1995, the Company amended the 1993 Plan and increased the number of shares
reserved for issuance thereunder by 250,000 shares, from 950,000 shares to
1,200,000 shares. In December 1996, the Company amended the 1993 Plan and
increased the number of shares reserved for issuance thereunder by 400,000
shares, from 1,200,000 shares to 1,600,000 shares of Common Stock. The 1990 Plan
expires on October 15, 2000 and the 1993 Plan expires on January 20, 2003.

       The 1990 Plan and the 1993 Plan (collectively, the "Plans") are
administered by a committee of the Board of Directors consisting of Messrs.
Dunlap, Brunet and Hemingway. The selection of participants, allotment of
shares, determination of price and other conditions of purchase of any options
granted are determined by the Board or any such committee at its sole
discretion. The purpose of the Plans is to attract and retain persons
instrumental to the success of the Company. Incentive stock options granted
under the Plans are exercisable for a period of up to 10 years from the date of
grant at an exercise price which is not less than the fair market value of the
Common Stock on the date of the grant, except that the term of an incentive
stock option granted under the Plans to a stockholder owning more than 10% of
the outstanding shares of Common Stock may not be less than 110% of the fair
market value of the Common Stock on the date of the grant nor for more than five
years.

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS

       Directors do not receive any compensation for serving as directors or 
attending meetings. Mr. Dunlap and Mr. Brunet received compensation of $60,000
and $90,000, respectively, for services rendered as consultants to the Company
during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997.

       Each of the directors who is not an employee of the Company and is a
director on January 31, is eligible for automatic grants of options to purchase
5,000 shares per year at the fair market value of such shares at such date,
which options are exercisable for a period of ten years.

       In December 1995, ten year options to purchase 25,000 shares at $3.50 per
share, which options are exercisable immediately, were granted to Mr. Dunlap in
accordance with the Plans. In September 1995, ten year options to purchase
40,000 shares at $3.50 per share, which options are exercisable immediately,
were granted to each of Mr. Hemingway and Mr. Williams in accordance with the
Plans. In January 1996, ten year options to purchase 5,000 shares at $4.00 per
share, which options are immediately exercisable, were granted to each of the
outside Directors of the Company in accordance with the Plans. Also in January
1996, a ten year option to purchase 10,000 shares at $4.00 per share , which
option is exercisable immediately, was granted to Mr. Sullivan. In July 1996,
the Board granted a ten year option to purchase 45,000 shares at $2.75 per share
, which option is exercisable immediately, to Mr. Brunet, who accepted the role
of Chairman of the Board. In October 1996 the Board granted ten year options to
purchase 15,000 shares at $3.50 per share, which options are exercisable
immediately, to each of Mr. Munoz and Mr. Thomas, new Directors of the Company.

       On July 25, 1996, the Company's Board of Directors approved a repricing
of all outstanding stock options which had been granted at an exercise price in
excess of $4.00 per share to $3.50 per share, compared to the then fair market
value of $2.75 on the date of repricing. The following options previously
granted to directors were repriced: 10 year options granted between January 1993
and September 1995 to acquire 720,000 shares of Common Stock at exercise prices
ranging from $4.25 to $10.00 per share, with a weighted average exercise price
of $6.17 per share.


REPORT OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE ON REPRICING OF OPTIONS

       The Company's stock option plans have been utilized to provide directors,
executives and other key employees with increased motivation and incentive to
exert their best efforts on behalf of the Company through the opportunity to
benefit from appreciation in the value of the Common Stock. Due to a decline in
the price of the Common Stock in the year ended June 30, 1996, certain options
outstanding under the Company's various stock option plans were exercisable at
prices which were significantly in excess of the then current market value of
the Common Stock. In order to restore the incentive value to such options, the
Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors approved the repricing of
options held by officers, directors, and employees.

       On July 25, 1996, each option outstanding under the Plans, including
options held by Directors and Executive Officers of the Company, with an
exercise price exceeding $4.00 was canceled and reissued with an exercise price
equal to $3.50 per share, compared to the then current market price of $2.75 per
share. Options to purchase 1,151,000 shares of Common Stock at exercise prices
ranging from $4.25 to $10.00 per share, with a weighted average exercise price
of $6.11 per share were repriced. All other terms and conditions of these
options remained the same. The options which were repriced included 350,000
options held by Jerry Sullivan, the President and Chief Executive Officer of the
Company that had a weighted average exercise price of $6.29 per share.

COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(A) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934

       Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
("Exchange Act"), requires the Company's executive officers, Directors and
persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a registered class of the
Company's equity securities to file with the Commission initial reports of
ownership and reports of changes in ownership of Common Stock and other equity
securities of the Company. Such executive officers, Directors, and greater than
10% beneficial owners are required by Commission regulation to furnish the
Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms filed by such reporting persons.

       To the Company's knowledge, there were no reports not filed in a timely
manner under Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act.



EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS

       In January 1996, Gerald F. Sullivan, President, Chief Executive Officer,
and a Director of the Company, entered into a two-year employment agreement
automatically renewing for successive one-year periods with the Company which
provides for a base annual salary of $100,000. In October 1996, the Board
modified the base annual salary to $136,000. Mr. Sullivan is also being provided
with a leased vehicle with monthly lease payments of $565.

       In October 1997, Ralph J. DeBee, Jr., Chief Operating Officer, and
Charles D. Farrahar, Chief Financial Officer, entered into employment agreements
with the same terms as described above for Mr. Sullivan, except at base annual
salaries of $150,000 and $100,000, respectively.


ITEM 11.  SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT


                             PRINCIPAL SHAREHOLDERS

The following table sets forth certain information regarding ownership of Common
Stock for (i) each person known by the Company to own beneficially five percent
or more of the outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock, (ii) each
director of the Company, (iii) each of the executive officers of the Company,
and (iv) all officers and directors of the Company as a group as of September
19, 1997. As a result of a Conversion Offer to holders of 10% Secured Notes and
9% Preferred Stock, the number of shares of outstanding Common Stock
beneficially owned by principal shareholders of the Company will be increased.
Set forth below in the "As Adjusted" column is the number of shares of Common
Stock that beneficial owners of 5% of the Common Stock will beneficially own
after giving effect to the Conversion Offer. The number of shares owned does not
reflect the effect of a one-for-five reverse stock split.

ITEM 12.  CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

       On June 16, 1993, the Company obtained a $6,000,000 mortgage warehouse
line of credit from Transamerica Consumer Receivable Funding, Inc. The line
matured on June 16, 1995, and was not renewed. The Company paid Mr. Dunlap
$45,000 upon closing for his assistance in obtaining the credit facility.

       On October 3, 1994, the Company advanced $65,000 to Mr. Sigler, the then
Chairman of the Board, which was rolled into an existing advance, and Mr. Sigler
provided the Company with a promissory note for $74,750. The note, which bore
interest at the rate of 11% per annum, was due on May 20, 1996 and was repaid.
In March 1996, the Company advanced Mr. Sigler $100,000 which is presently
outstanding and is secured by 50,000 shares of Company's Common Stock owned by
Mr. Sigler.

       On August 15, 1994, the Company advanced $100,000 to Mr. Dunlap, at an
interest rate of 11%. The principal and interest was due on May 20, 1996, and is
secured by warrants to purchase 75,000 shares of EntreMed, Inc., a publicly
traded pharmaceutical company. In August 1997, the Company extended the maturity
date on the advance to November 30, 1999, and entered into a consulting
agreement with Mr. Dunlap for a term of approximately two years. Compensation
due pursuant to the consulting agreement will be used to offset the principal
and interest due on the advance.
