                             PART II - OTHER INFORMATION


ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

    On November 2, 1991 the State of Oregon issued a cease and desist order 
ordering the Company to cease and desist issuing unregistered securities in 
the State of Oregon. The proceeding was based on the distribution of  shares 
and warrants to Oregon shareholders (registered by way of an S-18 
registration statement) pursuant to the agreement for such distribution 
between the Company and Automated Services, Inc.

    On April 2, 1992 the State of Oregon issued a final order to cease and 
desist violating any provision of Oregon Securities Law. Xanthic was denied 
the use of any statutory exemption provided in ORS 59.022 and ORS 59.035. 
Xanthic, Mark Lilly and Glenn DeCicco were assessed civil penalties of $ 750.00 
each for violating ORS 59.055 and ORS 59.132(2). Directors Mark Lilly and 
Glenn DeCicco were ordered to cease and desist violating any provision of ORS 
Chapter 59. Neither the Company nor the Directors appealed.

    The Company has been advised that the effect of the Oregon ruling was to
invalidate the issuance and distribution of the registered shares and warrants
to residents of Oregon until such time as said securities are registered
pursuant to the provisions of the Oregon Securities Law. The number of shares
affected by the ruling is estimated to be 188,000 shares owned by approximately
650 residents of Oregon. The 188,000 shares represent approximately 3.4% of the
issued and outstanding shares of the Company.

ITEM 2.  CHANGES IN SECURITIES

    There have been no changes in the rights, preferences or privileges of any
security of the Company during the third quarter of 1996 other than as the
action of the State of Oregon may affect said matters.
