COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT ON OPTION REPRICING

    On September 1, 1998, the Compensation Committee approved the repricing of
1,017,500 options granted pursuant to the Company's existing stock option plans
for non-employee directors and executive officers. Such options had exercise
prices ranging from $5.75 to $10.375. The repricing was effected by exchanging
new options with an exercise price of $4.875 per share, and the same vesting
period as the original option, for the options then held by such optionees.

    The Compensation Committee approved the repricing because it believed that
equity interests are a significant factor in the Company's ability to retain
directors, executive officers and employees, by providing an incentive to all
such personnel to devote their utmost effort and skill to the advancement and
betterment of the Company by permitting them to participate in the success and
increased value of the Company. Following the grant of such options, however,
the price per share of the Company's Common Stock sharply declined as a result
of unforeseen market factors. The Compensation Committee believed, that as a
result of this relatively sudden decline, the options so granted would not have
the desired motivational effect on the optionees. Accordingly, the Compensation
Committee approved the repricing as a means of ensuring that such optionees have
a meaningful equity interest in the Company.

COMPENSATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

    The members of the Board of Directors who are not employees receive $1,000
for their attendance in person at Board meetings and $500 if they are present at
a Board meeting telephonically. Members of the Board of Directors generally
receive an initial grant of 20,000 nonstatutory stock options upon their
election to the Board and thereafter periodically receive option grants in
recognition of their service as members of the Board of Directors. On June 23,
1999 Directors Sugarman and Rolles were each awarded options to purchase 20,000
shares in connection with their election to the Board.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

     During fiscal 1999, the members of the Compensation Committee of the
Company's Board of Directors were Messrs. Willey (Chairman) and Thompson. None
of the Compensation Committee members were officers, former officers or
employees of the Company during fiscal 1998. Mr. Willey serves as President and
a Director of Fidelity National Financial, Inc. and a Director of CKE
Restaurants, Inc.

     Corporate Deduction for Compensation. Section 162(m) of the Internal
Revenue Code generally limits to $1.0 million the corporate deduction for
compensation paid to certain executive officers, unless certain requirements are
met. At this time, the Company's deduction for officer compensation is not
limited by the provisions of Section 162(m). The Committee intends to monitor
regulations issued pursuant to Section 162(m) and to take such actions with
respect to the executive compensation program as are reasonably necessary to
preserve the corporate tax deduction for executive compensation paid.

COMMITTEES AND MEETINGS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

     The Board of Directors has a standing Compensation Committee and Audit
Committee. The Board does not have a nominating or executive committee or other
committee performing similar functions. The Compensation Committee, whose
current members are Messrs. Willey (Chairman) and Thompson, considers the hiring
and election of corporate officers, salary and incentive compensation policies
for officers and directors, and the granting of stock options to employees.
Former Directors Bruce Haglund and Anthony Gregory served as members of the
Compensation Committee through August 1999, at which time they declined to stand
for reelection to the Company's Board. The Compensation Committee held two
meetings in 1999.

     The Audit Committee, whose current members are Messrs. Willey (Chairman),
Sugarman and Rolles, reviews and directs the internal audit activities,
accounting procedures and controls of the Company. The Audit Committee also
meets with the Company's independent auditors, reviews the general scope of the
Company's annual audit and the fee charged by the independent auditors. The
Audit Committee held one meeting in 1999.

     During fiscal 1999, The Board of Directors held four meetings and acted by
written consent on two occasions. Mr. Foley missed one meeting and Mr. Sugarman
missed two meetings during 1999. All committee meetings were fully attended.

      In conjunction with its 1990 initial public offering, the Company entered
into an escrow agreement with three former executives pursuant to which the
former executives deposited certain shares of the Company's common stock,
originally acquired by them in 1988, into an escrow account to be released upon
the achievement of certain income levels by the Company. These shares were owned
by certain executives and shareholders prior to the initial public offering and
the underwriters requested that these shares be placed into escrow until certain
earnings goals were achieved. The respective shareholders have retained full
voting rights and full dividend rights to the shares. These restricted shares
continue to be included in shares outstanding but have been excluded when
calculating basic earnings per share. As of December 31, 1999 and 1998, 120,000
and 178,571 shares, respectively, were in the escrow account to be returned to
the Company for cancellation if the Company has not reported earnings of
$1,500,000 for any twelve-month period concluding with the twelve-month period
ending June 30, 1998. The Company is currently evaluating whether to extend or
terminate the escrow agreement.

14.   STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS

      The Company has certain stock option plans and from time-to-time grants
other nonstatutory options. Options are granted to eligible employees and
directors, officers and consultants who are actively involved in the operations
or development of the business of the Company. Generally, the exercise price of
options granted approximates the fair market value of the Company's common stock
on the date of grant. Currently, outstanding options become exercisable either
immediately or over a period of up to three years and expire five-to-ten years
after the grant date. The following provides additional information on these
plans and other options:

1998 Stock Option Plan

      In 1998, the Board of Directors adopted the 1998 Stock Option Plan (the
"Plan"). Awards granted under the Plan are either incentive stock options or
non-qualified stock options, with vesting and pricing provisions determined by
the Board of Directors or a committee comprised of at least two outside
directors of the Company. Under the Plan, incentive options may be granted to
officers and other key employees of the Company (including directors if they are
also employees of the Company) and non-qualified options may be granted to
officers and other key employees of the Company, any member of the Board of
Directors or consultants. Options normally have a term of 10 years from the date
of grant and become exercisable over a three year period following the grant
date and are priced at the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant.
In August 1999, the Plan was amended to increase the number of shares available
for issuance under the Plan to 2,000,000. As of December 31, 1999, there were
1,452,500 stock options outstanding with exercise prices ranging from $1.88 to
$4.88 and 547,500 options remain available to be granted.

      In connection with the acquisition of Timber Lodge on September 1, 1998,
the Company assumed all options outstanding under an existing Timber Lodge stock
option plan. Options under this plan become exercisable over a thirty-month
period and remain outstanding for a period of ten years following the date of
grant. As of December 31, 1999, there were 175,120 stock options outstanding
with exercise prices ranging from $2.75 to $6.78. No further shares may be
granted under this plan.

Incentive Stock Option Plan

      In 1990, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted an Incentive Stock
Option Plan ("ISOP"). Under the ISOP, all key employees, including officers and
directors (who are also employees) of the Company are eligible to receive
options. To be eligible to receive options under the ISOP, an employee must have
been a full-time employee in good standing with the Company for one year. The
total number of options authorized under the plan is 100,000. As of December 31,
1999, the Company has 100,000 options available for future grant under the plan.
