Employment Agreements 

    The Corporation currently has employment agreements with Messrs.
Dreher and Hill (the "Employment Agreements").  The Employment
Agreements generally have one- or two-year terms and may be extended
by the Board of Directors.  The Employment Agreements provide for base
salary, a bonus related to the Corporation's performance (as more
fully described below), certain perquisites, and other benefits
generally available to the Corporation's employees. If the executive
officer's employment with the Corporation terminates for any reason
other than expiration of the Employment Agreement, death, illness or
disability, for cause (as defined), or voluntary cessation by the
officer, the Employment Agreement entitles the officer to the balance
of his base salary plus a pro rata portion of the cash bonus the
officer would have earned during the year of termination. The
Employment Agreements also contain a noncompetition covenant for one
year if employment terminates for any of the reasons listed in the
preceding sentence.

    The Employment Agreement with Mr. Dreher expires August 31, 2000
and provides for an initial annual salary of $275,000, which will be
reviewed annually.  Mr. Dreher can earn an annual cash bonus under a
formula based on the Corporation's adjusted net pre-tax income (as
defined).  Mr. Dreher also earns a stock bonus equal to 59.3% of his
cash bonus, which was waived for fiscal 1997.  The stock bonus is
payable in shares of Common Stock having an aggregate market value
equal to the closing bid price for the Common Stock reported on NASDAQ
on the last trading day of the Corporation's fiscal year.

    The Employment Agreement with Mr. Hill expires on August 31,
1999, and provides for an initial annual salary of $170,000, which is
reviewed annually.  Mr. Hill can earn an annual cash bonus under a
formula based on the Corporation's adjusted net pre-tax income (as
defined).  Mr. Hill also earns a stock bonus equal to 45.45% of his
cash bonus, which was waived for fiscal 1997.  The stock bonus is
payable in shares of Common Stock having an aggregate market value
equal to the closing bid price of the Corporation's stock reported on
NASDAQ on the last trading day of the fiscal year.

Severance Agreements

    The Corporation has entered into contracts (the "Severance Agree-
ments") with Donald D. Dreher and Joseph G. Hill (the "Covered
Officers") to provide an additional incentive for Messrs. Dreher and
Hill to remain in the employ of the Corporation in the event of a
change in control of the Corporation or the possibility thereof. 
These Severance Agreements were not entered into because of any belief
by management that a change in control of the Corporation was
imminent. 

    The Severance Agreements had an initial three-year term beginning
January 1, 1988 and automatically renew for additional three-year
periods unless the Corporation gives notice not later than September
30th of the year preceding expiration that it does not wish to extend
the Severance Agreement.  The Severance Agreements have been
automatically renewed through December 31, 1999.

    The Severance Agreements provide for the payment of compensation
to the Covered Officers (a) upon the termination of a Covered
Officer's employment other than for cause after a change in control of
the Corporation, as defined in the Severance Agreement, occurs; (b) if
a change in control of the Corporation occurs within nine months after
such termination; or (c) if the Covered Officer terminates his
employment after the 60-day period immediately following a change in
control.

    Compensation to be paid under the Severance Agreements includes
(a) the unpaid balance of the Covered Officer's base salary through
the date of termination; (b) an amount equal to three times the
Covered Officer's annual base salary (present valued to a lump sum)
plus the most recent cash bonus paid to the Covered Officer; and (c)
all legal fees and expenses incurred by the Covered Officer resulting
from termination.  However, the amount of compensation to be paid
under the Severance Agreement will be reduced, if necessary, to $1.00
below the amount of benefits that the Corporation can properly deduct
under Section 280G(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended.  If the Covered Officer dies or terminates his own employment
for any reason within the 60-day period immediately following a change
in control, the Corporation will pay the Covered Officer his full base
salary through the date of termination plus all other compensation to
which he is entitled under any plan, agreement or arrangement of the
Corporation, and the Corporation will have no further obligations to
the Covered Officer under the Severance Agreement.  The Covered
Officers will not be required to seek other employment, and compen-
sation will not be reduced by any income received from other sources. 

Compensation of Directors     

    The Corporation's nonemployee directors receive a retainer of
$1,500 per month and $1,350 for each board meeting attended ($200 for
a telephonic board meeting).  In addition, nonemployee directors who
attend an Audit or Compensation/Stock Option Committee meeting receive
$200 per meeting, and each committee chairman receives an additional
$200 per meeting.  Nonemployee members of the Long Range Planning
Committee receive $850 per meeting attended.  All directors were
reimbursed for travel expenses to attend Board or committee meetings. 

    Under the Corporation's Compensation and Deferral Plan for
Outside Directors (which was approved by stockholders at the 1994
Annual Meeting), a minimum of one-third of the total monthly retainer
for the year (or more at the director's option) is paid at the end of
the fiscal year in the form of shares of Common Stock, valued at the
closing bid price for the Common Stock on the last trading day of the
fiscal year.  For fiscal 1997, each of the Corporation's three
nonemployee directors was paid 2,087 shares of Common Stock, valued at
$2.875 per share, as the stock portion of the monthly retainer.

    Under the Corporation's Nonemployee Directors Stock Option
Program (the "Program"), each nonemployee director automatically
received an option for 6,000 shares on the March 15th next following
initial election and an option for 1,000 shares on the March 15
following election in each subsequent year.  Nonemployee directors in
office on May 5, 1987 received an initial option for 5,000 shares plus
1,000 shares for each year in office before 1987.  The Board of Direc-
tors had no discretion with respect to awards under the Program.

     All options granted under the Program have an exercise price
equal to the closing bid price for the Common Stock on NASDAQ on the
date of the grant of the options.  The exercise price for the options
granted on March 15, 1997, was $2.81 per share.  Options become
exercisable with respect to one-half of the shares on the first
anniversary of the grant and fully exercisable on the second
anniversary of the grant.

    The Program expired in 1997.  The Board expects to submit a new
plan providing for automatic grants of options to nonemployee
directors for stockholder approval at the Annual Meeting of the
Corporation's stockholders in 1998. 

Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and
Management.

    The Corporation had two classes of capital stock with shares
issued and outstanding as of December 19, 1997.  A total of 3,164,251
shares of Common Stock and 1,995,050 shares of Series C Preferred
Stock were issued and outstanding as of that date.

    Except as provided in the Corporation's Certificate of
Incorporation, each share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote on
any matter submitted for the vote or written consent of stockholders
of the Corporation, including the election of directors. The
Corporation's Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that
holders of the Series C Preferred are entitled to elect up to two
Class II directors to serve a one-year term on the Board of Directors. 
Holders of Series C Preferred also have a contingent right to elect a
majority of the Board of Directors, upon request by holders of ten
percent of the Series C Preferred, if (i) unpaid dividends of at least
$269,500 on the Series C Preferred accrue, (ii) the Corporation fails
to earn annual Consolidated Net Income of at least $769,500, or (iii)
an Event of Noncompliance (as defined in the Restated Certificate of
Incorporation) occurs during the preceding fiscal year.  If the
holders of Series C Preferred become entitled to exercise this
conditional right and choose to do so, certain of the Class I
directors would cease to be directors in accordance with the
Corporation's by-laws.  The Corporation earned Consolidated Net Income
of more than $769,500 in fiscal 1997 and is current with respect to
dividends payable on the Series C Preferred. 

    The following table sets forth certain information as of December
19, 1997 relating to the shares of Series C Preferred and Common Stock
beneficially owned by the Corporation's directors and executive
officers and by beneficial owners of more than five percent of any
class of the Corporation's voting stock.
