                           WILSHIRE TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

                           NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTION

                             1995 STOCK OPTION PLAN


THIS IS TO CERTIFY that on APRIL 15, 1999, WILSHIRE TECHNOLOGIES, INC., a
California corporation (the "Company") has granted to Grace Reasoner (the
"Optionee") an option to purchase 2,500 shares of common stock of the Company,
no par value, at a price of $ 0.35 per share, upon the terms and conditions
hereinafter stated, to all of which the Optionee, by the acceptance hereof,
assents.


1.      Option Period and Conditions on Exercise.

        The option shall not be exercisable with respect to any of the shares
        subject to the option after APRIL 15, 2009 and the option shall not be
        exercisable with respect to fractional shares.

        This option vests as follows:

                As to 833 shares on APRIL 15, 1999; and
                As to an additional 833 shares on APRIL 15, 2000;
                As to an additional 834 shares on APRIL 15, 2001.

2.      Effect of Termination of Employment/Effect of Death.

        a.      If the Optionee is an officer, employee or director of the
                Company and ceases to be such for any reason other than death or
                termination for cause, Optionee may exercise this option in
                accordance with its terms only for a period of ninety days after
                such cessation (but not beyond the Option Period). Any exercise
                of this option after such cessation may be only to the extent of
                the full number of shares the Optionee was entitled to purchase
                under this option on the Date of such cessation, plus a portion
                of the additional number of shares, if any, he would have become
                entitled to purchase on the next anniversary Date of the Date of
                grant of the option following such cessation, such portion to be
                determined by multiplying such additional number of shares by a
                fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days from the
                anniversary Date of the Date of grant preceding such cessation
                to the Date of such cessation and the denominator of which is
                365. Such portion shall be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest
                whole share.

        b.      If the termination of the Optionee's position as an officer or
                employee of the Company is for cause (as determined in the sole
                judgment of the Board of Directors), this option shall thereupon
                be cancelled and the Optionee shall have no right to exercise
                any part of this option after such termination.

        c.      If the Optionee dies, this option continues in effect and may be
                exercised in accordance with its terms for twelve months from
                the date of the Optionee's death (but not beyond the Option
                Period) by the executor or administrator of the estate, or in
                the event there is none, then by the person or persons to whom
                the optionee's rights under this option shall pass by will



                                       2
<PAGE>   3

                or the laws of descent and distribution. Any exercise of this
                option after such death may be only to the extent of the full
                number of shares the optionee was entitled to purchase under
                this option on the date of death, plus a portion of the
                additional number of shares, if any, he would have become
                entitled to purchase on the next anniversary date of the date of
                grant of the option following such death, such portion to be
                determined by multiplying such additional number of shares by a
                fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of days
                from the anniversary Date of the Date of grant preceding such
                death to the Date of death and the denominator of which shall be
                365. Such portion shall be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest
                whole share.

3.      Manner of Exercise.

        This option shall be exercised by giving written notice to the Company
        addressed in the manner specified in paragraph 7, specifying the number
        of shares to be purchased and accompanied by payment in full in cash, or
        in whole or in part in Common Stock, as provided in paragraph 9, for the
        shares purchased.

4.      Nontransferability of Option.

        This option shall not be transferable except to the executor or
        administrator of the Optionee's estate or to the Optionee's heirs or
        legatees, and shall be exercisable during the Optionee's lifetime only
        by the Optionee. This option may, however, be surrendered to the Company
        for cancellation for such consideration and upon such terms as may be
        mutually agreed upon by the Company and the Optionee.

5.      Adjustment of Shares and Price Per Share.

        The number of shares subject to this option shall be adjusted as
        follows:

        a.      In the event the Company's outstanding common stock is changed
                by any stock dividend, stock split, or combination of shares,
                the number of shares subject to this option shall be
                proportionately adjusted, without change in the aggregate
                purchase price.

        b.      Except as provided in subsection (d) hereof, in the event of any
                merger, consolidation, or reorganization of the Company with any
                other corporation or corporations, there shall be substituted on
                an equitable basis, for each share of common stock then subject
                to this option, an option for the number and kind of shares of
                stock or other securities to which the holders of common stock
                of the Company will be entitled pursuant to the transaction.

        c.      In the event of any other relevant change in the capitalization
                of the Company, this option and the purchase price per share
                shall be equitably adjusted.

        d.      In the event of a merger described in Section 368 (a)(2)(E) of
                the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 in which the Company is the
                surviving corporation, this option shall terminate and thereupon
                become null and void but only if the controlling corporation
                shall agree to exchange its options for this option; but the



                                       4
<PAGE>   5

                Optionee shall have the right, immediately prior to such merger,
                to exercise this option, without regard to any otherwise
                applicable restriction as to time of exercise, other than
                expiration of the Option Period.

        e.      Upon the dissolution of the Company, this option shall terminate
                and thereafter become null and void; but the Optionee shall have
                the right, immediately prior to such dissolution, to exercise
                this option without regard to any otherwise applicable
                restriction as to time of exercise, other than expiration of the
                Option Period.

6.      Compliance with Applicable Law.

        The exercise of this option is subject to the obtaining of any consent
        or approval of any governmental or other regulatory body which the Board
        of Directors, in its discretion, deems necessary or desirable.

7.      Other Provisions.

        a.      The holder of this option shall not be entitled to any rights of
                a shareholder of the Company with respect to any shares subject
                to this option until such shares have been paid for in full and
                issued to him.

        b.      Nothing in this Certificate shall be construed as limiting any
                rights which the Company or any parent or subsidiary corporation
                of the Company may have to terminate at any time the employment
                of the Optionee.

        c.      Notice to the Company hereunder shall be addressed to the
                attention of its Secretary at its corporate office at 5861
                Edison Place, Carlsbad, California 92008.

8.      Incorporation of Plan by Reference.
