3.10     ABSENCE OF UNDISCLOSED LIABILITIES.

         The Corporation has no liabilities or obligations of any nature,
whether matured or unmatured, known or unknown, or fixed or contingent, except
(a) to the extent expressly reflected or reserved against on the Interim Balance
Sheet or expressly disclosed in the notes thereto and (b) liabilities and
obligations arising since the Interim Balance Sheet Date in the ordinary course
of business consistent with past practice (other than any such liability or
obligation arising from breach of contract, breach of warranty, tort,
infringement, or violation of any Legal Requirement).

3.11     ABSENCE OF CERTAIN DEVELOPMENTS.

         Except as reflected in the Financial Statements, in the Business Plan
or in Schedule 3.11, since the Interim Balance Sheet Date, there has been (i) no
material adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the
Corporation or in the assets, liabilities, or properties of the Corporation,
(ii) no declaration, setting aside or payment of any dividend or other
distribution with respect to, or any direct or indirect redemption or
acquisition of, any of the capital stock of the Corporation, (iii) no waiver of
any valuable right of the Corporation or cancellation of any debt or claim held
by the Corporation, (iv) no loan by the Corporation to any officer, director,
employee or shareholder of the Corporation, or any agreement or commitment
therefor, (v) no increase, direct or indirect, in the compensation paid or
payable to any officer, director, employee or agent of the Corporation, (vi) no
material loss, destruction or damage to any property of the Corporation, whether
or not insured, (vii) no labor disputes involving the Corporation and no
material change in the personnel of the Corporation or the terms and conditions
of their employment, and (viii) no acquisition or disposition of any assets (or
any contract or arrangement therefor), nor any other transaction by the
Corporation otherwise than for fair value in the ordinary course of business.

3.12     TITLE TO ASSETS.

         The Corporation has good and marketable title to all of the assets,
reflected as being owned by the Corporation on the Interim Balance Sheet or
acquired subsequent thereto (except for inventory sold or otherwise disposed of
in the ordinary course of business for fair value and accounts and notes
receivable paid in full since the date of the Interim Balance Sheet), free and
clear of all Encumbrances, except for those Encumbrances set forth on Schedule
3.12 and Permitted Liens. Such assets are in good operating condition and repair
(normal wear and tear excepted), are adequate and suitable for the uses for
which they are used in the Corporation' business, are not subject to any
condition which interferes with the economic value or use thereof, and
constitute all assets necessary to permit the Corporation to carry on its
business after the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement as generally conducted by the Corporation prior thereto. The term
"Permitted Liens" means (i) liens arising by operation of law in the ordinary
course of business that, individually and in the aggregate, do not in any
material respect interfere with the use of any of the assets subject thereto,
(ii) minor imperfections of title which do not materially detract from the value
of the

                                     -6-
<PAGE>   7

property affected or materially impair the operations of either Corporation, and
(iii) liens for taxes not yet due and payable; and (iv) landlords liens, if any,
relating to leases.

3.13     REAL PROPERTY

         The Corporation does not own directly or indirectly any real property.

         The Corporation has filed all federal, state and local income, excise
or franchise tax returns, real estate and personal property tax returns, sales
and use tax returns and other tax returns required to be flied by it and has
paid all taxes owed by it, except taxes which have not yet accrued or otherwise
become due or for which adequate provision has been made in the pertinent
Financial Statements. The provision for taxes on the Interim Balance Sheet is
sufficient as of its date for the payment of all accrued and unpaid federal,
state, county and local taxes of any nature of the Corporation whether or not
assessed or disputed. All taxes and other assessments and levies which the
Corporation is required to withhold or collect have been withheld and collected
and have been paid over when due to the proper governmental authorities. With
regard to the income tax returns of the Corporation, the Corporation has not
received notice of any audit or of any proposed deficiencies from any taxing
authority and no controversy with respect to taxes of any type is pending or, to
the knowledge of the Corporation, threatened. There are in effect no waivers of
applicable statutes of limitations with respect to any taxes owed by the
Corporation for any year. The Corporation does not conduct any foreign or
international operations that would ordinarily subject it to taxation in any
jurisdiction outside of the United States.

3.15     CONTRACTS AND COMMITMENTS.

         Except as set forth in Schedule 3.15, the Corporation (i) is not a
party to any contract, obligation or commitment which involves a potential
commitment in excess of $ 100,000 or which is otherwise material and not entered
into in the ordinary course of business, and (ii) does not have any employment
contracts; stock redemption or purchase agreements; financing agreements;
licenses; distributor or sales representative agreements; agreements with
officers, directors, employees or shareholders of the Corporation or persons or
organizations related to or affiliated with any such persons; leases; agreements
relating to product development; or pension, profit-sharing, retirement or stock
option plans. Each agreement or understanding set forth on Schedule 3.15 is in
full force and effect and constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the
Corporation and to the best knowledge of the Corporation, the other party
thereto. The Corporation has in all material respects performed the obligations
required to be performed by them except for obligations not yet due to be
performed and are not in default or have received notices that they are in
default in any material respect under any such agreement or understanding. There
exists no known event or condition which, after notice or lapse of time, or
both, would constitute such a default. There are no material defaults by any
other party to any such agreement or understanding as to which any notice of
default has been

                                      -7-

given. The Corporation has made available to the Investors correct and complete

Corporation's present or contemplated activities infringe or may infringe any
Intellectual Property Rights of such person. The Corporation has the right to
use, free and clear of claims or rights of others, all trade secrets, customer

software and other information required for or incident to its products or its
business as presently conducted or contemplated. The Corporation has taken all
commercially reasonable steps to establish and preserve its ownership of all
copyright, trade secret and other proprietary rights with respect to its
products and technology, except such rights as the Corporation has reasonably
determined are not material to the Corporation's continuing business operations.
The Corporation is not aware of any infringement by others of its copyrights or
other Intellectual Property Rights to which it has exclusive use in any of its
products, technology or services, or any violation of the confidentiality of any
of its proprietary information. The Corporation is not making unlawful use of
any confidential information or trade secrets of any past or present employees
of the Corporation. Except as set forth in Schedule 3.16, neither the
Corporation nor, to the Corporation's knowledge, any of the key employees of the
Corporation have any agreements or arrangements with former employers of such
employees relating to confidential information or trade secrets of such
employers. The activities of the Corporation's employees on behalf of the
Corporation do not violate any agreements or arrangements known to the
Corporation which any such employees have with former employers.

     corporation, either voluntary or involuntary, the holders of shares of

     preference to any distribution of any of the

                                        2

<PAGE>   18

     assets of this corporation available for distribution to the stockholders,
     to the holders of shares of Common Stock or any other class of capital
     stock ranking junior to the Series B Preferred Stock by reason of their
     ownership thereof, an amount per share equal to (i) $1.00 for each
     outstanding share of Series B Preferred Stock (the "Original Series B Issue
     Price"), as adjusted to reflect any share split, dividend, combination,
     reclassification or similar event involving the Series B Preferred Stock,
     plus (ii) an amount per share equal to eight percent (8%) of the Original
     Series B Issue Price, from the date of issuance to the date of
     distribution, compounded annually. The holders of shares of Series C
     Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to
     any distribution of any of the assets of this corporation available for
     distribution to the stockholders, to the holders of shares of Common Stock
     or any other class of capital stock ranking junior to the Series C
     Preferred Stock by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount per share
     equal to (i) $1.75 for each outstanding share of Series C Preferred Stock
     (the "Original Series C Issue Price"), as adjusted to reflect any share
     split, dividend, combination, reclassification or similar event involving
     the Series C Preferred Stock, plus (ii) an amount per share equal to eight
     percent (8%) of the Original Series C Issue Price, from the date of
     issuance to the date of distribution, compounded annually. The holders of
     shares of Series M Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, prior and
     in preference to any distribution of any of the assets of this corporation
     available for distribution to the stockholders, to the holders of shares of
     Common Stock or any other class of capital stock ranking junior to the
     Series M Preferred Stock by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount
     per share equal to $6.00 for each outstanding share of Series M Preferred
     Stock (the "Original Series M Issue Price"), as adjusted to reflect any
     share split, dividend, combination, reclassification or similar event
     involving the Series M Preferred Stock. If upon the occurrence of such
     event, the assets and funds to be distributed hereunder among the holders
     of shares of the Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and
     Series M Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to permit the payment to
     such holders of the full aforesaid preferential amounts, then the entire
     assets and funds of the corporation legally available for distribution
     shall be distributed ratably among the holders of shares of the Series B
     Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and Series M Preferred Stock in
     proportion to the preferential amount each such holder is entitled to
     receive pursuant to this Section C.2.a.

          b. After the completion of the distribution required by subparagraph
     (a) of this Section C.2 and any other distribution which may be required
     with respect to series of Preferred Stock which may from time to time come
     into existence, the assets of this corporation available for distribution
     to stockholders shall be distributed among the holders of shares of Common
     Stock pro rata based on the number of shares of Common Stock held by each.

          c. Whenever the distribution provided for in this Section C.2. shall
     be payable in property other than cash, the dollar amount of such
     distribution shall be the fair market value of such property at the time of
     distribution as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.

          d. The Corporation shall mail written notice of any liquidation or
     dissolution or winding down not less than thirty days prior to the payment
     date stated therein to each record holder of shares of Preferred Stock. Any
     (i) acquisition of the corporation by means of merger or other form of
     corporate reorganization in which outstanding shares of the corporation are
     exchanged for securities or other consideration issued by the acquiring
     corporation or its subsidiary (other than a mere reincorporation
     transaction), (ii) sale, conveyance or disposition of all or substantially
     all of the assets of this corporation or (iii) the effectuation by the
     corporation of a transaction or series of related transactions in which
     more than 50% of the voting power of the corporation is disposed of (other
     than the Public Offering as defined herein) (clauses (i), (ii) and (iii)
     are referred to herein as a "Sale of the Corporation"), shall be deemed to
     be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up within the meaning of this
     Section C.2.

     3. Conversion. The holders of the Series B Preferred Stock, Series C
Preferred Stock and Series M Preferred Stock shall have conversion rights as
follows (the "Conversion Rights"):

          a. Right to Convert.

               (i) Each share of Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred
          Stock and Series M Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option
          of the holder thereof, at any time after the date of issuance of such
          share, at the office of this corporation or any transfer agent for the
          Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock or Series M
          Preferred Stock, into such number of fully paid and nonassessable
          shares of Common Stock as determined by dividing the Original Series B
          Issue Price, Original Series C Issue Price or Original Series M Issue
          Price, as applicable, by the Conversion Price (defined below) at the
          time in effect for such share. The initial Conversion Price per share
          for shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be thirty-three cents
          ($0.33). The initial Conversion Price per share for shares of Series C
          Preferred Stock shall be one dollar and seventy five cents ($1.75).
          The initial Conversion Price per share for shares of Series M
          Preferred Stock shall be one dollar and one hundred and eleven
          thousandths of a cent ($ 1.111). The Conversion Price for the Series B
          Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and the Series M Preferred
          Stock shall be subject to adjustment as set forth in Section C.3.c.,
          Section C.3.d. and Section C.3.e.

               (ii) Each share of Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred
          Stock and Series M Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted
          into shares of Common Stock at the applicable Conversion Price at the
          time in effect for such Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred
          Stock or Series M Preferred Stock, respectively, immediately
          concurrent with the consummation of the corporation's sale of its
          Common Stock in a firm commitment underwriting pursuant to a
          registration statement on Form S-1, Form SB-1, Form SB-2, or their
          then equivalents, filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
          and resulting in

                                        4

<PAGE>   20

          an aggregate offering price to the public of at least $20,000,000, and
          where the offering price to the public is not less than $5.00 per
          share (the "Public Offering").

          b. Mechanics of Conversion. Any holder of shares of Series B Preferred
     Stock, Series C Preferred Stock or Series M Preferred Stock shall be
     entitled to convert the same into shares of Common Stock, by surrendering
     the certificate or certificates therefor, duly endorsed, at the office of
     this corporation or of any transfer agent for the Series B Preferred
     Stock, Series C Preferred Stock or Series M Preferred Stock, as
     applicable, and by giving written notice by mail, postage prepaid, to this
     corporation at its principal corporate office, of the election to convert
     the same and stating therein the name or names in which the certificate or
     certificates for shares of Common Stock are to be issued. This corporation
     shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver at such office
     to such holder of shares of Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred
     Stock or Series M Preferred Stock, or to a nominee or nominees of such
     holder, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common
     Stock to which such holder shall be entitled as aforesaid. Such conversion
     shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of
     business on the date of such surrender of the shares of Series B Preferred
     Stock, Series C Preferred Stock or Series M Preferred Stock to be
     converted, and the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of
     Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all
     purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock as
     of such date. If the conversion is in connection with an underwritten
     offering of securities registered pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933,
     as amended, other than in a Public Offering as set forth in Section
     C.3.a.(ii) above, the conversion may, at the option of any holder tendering
     Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock or Series M Preferred
     Stock for conversion, be conditioned upon the closing with the underwriter
     of the sale of securities pursuant to such offering, in which event the
     person(s) entitled to receive the Common Stock issuable upon such
     conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock or
     Series M Preferred Stock shall not be deemed to have converted such stock
     until immediately prior to the closing of such sale of securities.

          c. Conversion Price Adjustments of Preferred Stock Upon Reorganization
     or Recapitalization. If at any time or from time to time there shall be any
     capital reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Stock (including,
     without limitation, any stock split or stock dividend), provision shall be
     made so that the holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock, Series C
     Preferred Stock and Series M Preferred Stock shall thereafter be entitled
     to receive upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock, Series C
     Preferred Stock or Series M Preferred Stock, as applicable, the number of
     shares of stock or other securities or property of the corporation or
     otherwise, to which a holder of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion
     would have been entitled on such recapitalization. In any such case,
     appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions
     of this Section C.3 with respect to the rights of the holders of the Series
     B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and Series M Preferred Stock
     after the recapitalization to the end that the provisions of this Section
     C.3 (including adjustment of the Conversion Price then in effect and the
     number of shares which would

                                       5

<PAGE>   21

     be received upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock, Series C
     Preferred Stock and Series M Preferred Stock) shall be applicable after
     that event as nearly equivalent as may be practicable. The provisions of
     this clause shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations,
     reclassifications, consolidations or mergers.

          d. Conversion Upon Sale of the Corporation. In the event of a Sale of
     the Corporation, as defined in Section C.2.d., the holders of Series B
     Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and Series M Preferred Stock, as
     applicable, shall concurrently with the consummation of such sale, have
     the right to convert shares of Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred
     Stock and Series M Preferred Stock into the kind and amount of stock,
     securities or other consideration (including cash) as are issued upon such
     Sale of the Corporation to a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock
     into which such shares of Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred
     Stock and Series M Preferred Stock could have been converted immediately
     prior to such merger, consolidation or sale. The corporation shall provide
     holders of Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and Series M
     Preferred Stock with at least five business days prior written notice of
     any event referred to in this paragraph.

          e. Conversion Price Adjustment Upon Sale of Securities. Each
     Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as
     follows:

               (i) If the corporation shall at any time or from time to time
          issue any shares of Common Stock, or securities convertible into or
          exercisable for Common Stock (including any shares of Common Stock
          deemed to have been issued pursuant to subdivision (iv)(c) below)
          other than Excluded Stock (as defined in clause (v) below) without
          consideration or for a consideration per share less than the
          Conversion Price for the Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred
          Stock or Series M Preferred Stock, as applicable, in effect
          immediately prior to the issuance of such Common Stock, then any
          Conversion Price for the Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred
          Stock or Series M Preferred Stock that is greater than the
          consideration per share of Common Stock or its equivalent received in
          such issuance or sale shall forthwith be lowered to be equal to the
          quotient obtained by dividing:

                    (a) an amount equal to the sum of (x) the total number of
               shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any shares of
               Common Stock deemed to have been issued pursuant to subdivision
               (iv)(c) below) immediately prior to such issuance, multiplied by
               the applicable Conversion Price for the Series B Preferred Stock,
               Series C Preferred Stock or Series M Preferred Stock, as
               applicable, in effect immediately prior to such issuance, and (y)
               the consideration received by the corporation upon such issuance;
               by

                    (b) the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
               (including any shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued

                                        6

<PAGE>   22

               pursuant to subdivision (iv)(c) below) immediately after the
               issuance of such Common Stock.

               For the purposes of any adjustment of any Conversion Price for
          the Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock or Series M
          Preferred Stock pursuant to this clause, the following provisions
          shall be applicable:

               (ii) In the case of the issuance of Common Stock for cash, the
          consideration shall be deemed to be the amount of cash paid therefor
          after deducting therefrom any discounts, commissions or other expenses
          allowed, paid or incurred by the corporation for any underwriting or
          otherwise in connection with the issuance and sale thereof

               (iii) In the case of the issuance of Common Stock for a
          consideration in whole or in part other than cash, the consideration
          other than cash shall be deemed to be the fair market value thereof as
          determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the corporation,
          irrespective of any accounting treatment.

               (iv) In the case of the issuance of options to purchase or rights
          to subscribe for Common Stock, securities by their terms convertible
          into or exchangeable for Common Stock, or options to purchase or
          rights to subscribe for such convertible or exchangeable securities:

                    (a) the aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Stock
               deliverable upon exercise of such options to purchase or rights
               to subscribe for Common Stock shall be deemed to have been issued
               at the time such options or rights were issued and for a
               consideration equal to the consideration (determined in the
               manner provided in subdivisions (ii) and (iii) above), if any,
               received by the corporation upon the issuance of such options or
               rights plus the minimum purchase price provided in such options
               or rights for the Common Stock covered thereby;

                    (b) the aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Stock
               deliverable upon conversion of or in exchange for any such
               convertible or exchangeable securities or upon the exercise of
               options to purchase or rights to subscribe for such convertible
               or exchangeable securities and subsequent conversion or exchange
               thereof shall be deemed to have been issued at the time such
               securities, options, or rights were issued and for a
               consideration equal to the consideration received by the
               corporation for any such securities and related options or rights
               (excluding any cash received on account of accrued interest or
               accrued dividends), plus the additional consideration, if any, to
               be received by the corporation upon the conversion or exchange of
               such securities or the exercise of any related options or rights
               (the consideration in each case to be determined in the manner
               provided in subdivisions (ii) and (iii) above);

                                       7
<PAGE>   23

                    (c) on any change in the number of shares or exercise price
               of Common Stock deliverable upon exercise of any such options or
               rights or conversions of or exchange for such securities, other
               than a change resulting from the antidilution provisions thereof,
               each Conversion Price previously adjusted shall forthwith be
               readjusted to such Conversion Price as would have been obtained
               had the adjustment made upon the issuance of such options, rights
               or securities not converted prior to such change or options or
               rights related to such securities not converted prior to such
               change been made upon the basis of such change; and

                    (d) on the expiration of any such options or rights, the
               termination of any such rights to convert or exchange or the
               expiration of any options or rights related to such convertible
               or exchangeable securities, each Conversion Price previously
               adjusted shall forthwith be readjusted to such Conversion Price
               as would have obtained had the adjustment made upon the issuance
               of such options, rights, securities or options or rights related
               to such securities been made upon the basis of the issuance of
               only the number of shares of Common Stock actually issued upon
               the exercise of such options or rights, upon the conversion or
               exchange of such securities, or upon the exercise of the options
               or rights related to such securities and subsequent conversion or
               exchange thereof.

               (v) "Excluded Stock" means (1) shares of Common Stock issued by
          the corporation as a stock dividend or upon any subdivision, split-up
          or combination of shares of Common Stock; (2) shares of Common Stock
          issued by the corporation upon conversion of shares of Preferred
          Stock; or (3) securities that are or were declared to be "Excluded
          Stock" for purposes of this Section by the holders of 66 2/3% of the
          outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred
          Stock and Series M Preferred Stock, as applicable, each voting as a
          separate class and only with respect to the shares held by such class.

               (vi) All calculations made pursuant to Section C.3.c., C.3.d. and
          C.3.e. shall be made to the nearest one hundredths (1/100) of one cent
          or the nearest one tenth (1/10) of a share, as the case may be.

               (vii) In any case in which the provisions of Sections C.3.c.,
          C.3.d. and C.3.e. shall require that an adjustment shall become
          effective immediately after a record date of an event, the corporation
          may defer until the occurrence of such event (i) issuing to the holder
          of any share of Preferred Stock converted after such record date and
          before the occurrence of such event the shares of capital stock
          issuable upon such conversion by reason of the adjustment required by
          such event in addition to the shares of capital stock issuable upon
          such conversion before giving effect to such adjustments, and (ii)
          paying to such holder any amount in cash in lieu of a fractional share
          of capital stock pursuant to paragraph (e) above;

                                        8

<PAGE>   24

          provided, however, that the corporation shall deliver to such
          holder an appropriate instrument evidencing such holder's right to
          receive such additional shares and such cash.

          f. No Impairment. This corporation will not, by amendment of its
     Certificate of Incorporation or through any reorganization,
     recapitalization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution,
     issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to
     avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or
     performed hereunder by this corporation, but will at all times in good
     faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Section C.3
     and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in
     order to protect the Conversion Rights of the holder of shares of the
     Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and Series M Preferred
     Stock against impairment.

          g. No Fractional Shares and Certificate as to Adjustments.

               (i) No fractional shares shall be issued upon conversion of the
          Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock or the Series M
          Preferred Stock. The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to
          each holder of shares of Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred
          Stock and/or Series M Preferred Stock upon conversion shall be
          computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares of Series B
          Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock or Series M Preferred Stock
          to be converted. Instead of any fractional shares of Common Stock
          which would otherwise be issuable upon conversion of any shares of
          Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock or Series M
          Preferred Stock, the corporation shall pay a cash adjustment in
          respect of such fractional interest in an amount equal to the product
          of (i) the price of one share of Common Stock as determined in good
          faith by the Board of Directors of the corporation and (ii) such
          fractional interest. The holders of fractional interests shall not be
          entitled to any rights as stockholders of the corporation in respect
          of such fractional interests.

               (ii) Upon the corporation's awareness of an event that would
          cause an adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price of Series
          B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock or Series M Preferred
          Stock pursuant to this Section C.3, this corporation, at its expense,
          shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance
          with the terms hereof and prepare and furnish to each holder of shares
          of Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock or Series M
          Preferred Stock, as applicable, a certificate setting forth such
          adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which
          such adjustment or readjustment is based. This corporation shall, upon
          the written request at any time of any holder of shares of Series B
          Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock or Series M Preferred Stock,
          furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a like certificate
          setting forth (A) such adjustment and readjustment, (B) the Conversion
          Ratio at the time in effect, and (C) a number of shares of Common
          Stock and the value, if any, of other property which at the time would
          be received upon the

                                        9

<PAGE>   25

          conversion of a share of Series B Preferred Stock, Series C
          Preferred Stock or Series M Preferred Stock, as applicable.

          h. Notices of Record Date. In the event of any taking by this
     corporation of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the
     purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any
     dividend (other than a cash dividend) or other distribution, any right to
     subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of stock of any
     class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right,
     this corporation shall mail to each holder of shares of Series B Preferred
     Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and Series M Preferred Stock, at least
     twenty (20) days prior to the date specified therein, a notice specifying
     the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such
     dividend, distribution or right, and the amount and character of such
     dividend, distribution or right.

          i. Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. This corporation
     shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but
     unissued shares of Common Stock solely for the purpose of effecting the
     conversion of shares of the Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred
     Stock and Series M Preferred Stock, such number of its shares of Common
     Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of
     all outstanding shares of the Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred
     Stock and Series M Preferred Stock; and if at any time the number of
     authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to
     effect the conversion of all the outstanding shares of the Series B
     Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and Series M Preferred Stock, in
     addition to such other remedies as shall be available to the holder of such
     shares of Preferred Stock, this corporation will take such corporate action
     as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its
     authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as
     shall be sufficient for such purposes.

          j. Notices. Any notice required by the provisions of this Section C.3
     to be given to the holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock, Series C
     Preferred Stock or Series M Preferred Stock shall be deemed given if
     deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, and addressed to each
     holder of record at his address appearing on the books of this corporation.

     4. Mandatory Redemption. The shares of Series M Preferred Stock shall be
subject to mandatory redemption as set forth below in this Section C.4.

          a. Redemption Events. Except as prohibited by applicable law and the
     corporation's then existing agreements with its lenders and provided the
     corporation has generated net income for its most recent quarterly interim
     period, the corporation shall redeem all outstanding shares of Series M
     Preferred Stock on May 7, 2002. The corporation shall effect the redemption
     by paying in cash, out of any source of funds legally available therefor,
     an amount per share of Series M Preferred Stock equal to the Original
     Series M Issue Price (the "Redemption Price").

                                       10

<PAGE>   26

          b. Redemption Notice. At least thirty (30) but no more than sixty (60)
     days prior to the date fixed for redemption of the Series M Preferred Stock
     (the "Redemption Date"), - the corporation shall mail, postage prepaid,
     written notice thereof (the "Redemption Notice"), to each holder of record
     (at the close of business on the business day next preceding the day on
     which notice is given) of shares of Series M Preferred Stock, at the
     address last shown on the records of the corporation for such holder or if
     no address appears or is given at the place where the principal executive
     office of the corporation is located, specifying the number of shares to be
     redeemed from such holder, the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price, the
     place at which payment may be obtained, and calling upon such holder to
     surrender to the corporation, in the manner and at the place designated,
     its certificate or certificates representing all of such holders shares of
     Series M Preferred Stock.

          c. Surrender of Certificate Payment. Except as prohibited by
     applicable law, on or before the Redemption Date, each holder of shares of
     Series M Preferred Stock to be redeemed on such Redemption Date shall
     surrender the certificate or certificates representing such shares to the
     corporation, in the manner and at the place designated in the Redemption
     Notice, and thereupon the Redemption Price for such shares shall be payable
     to the order of the person whose name appears on such certificate or
     certificates as the owner thereof, and each surrendered certificate shall
     be canceled and retired. In the event that, due to restrictions imposed by
     applicable law, fewer than all of the shares represented by such
     certificate are redeemed, a new certificate representing the unredeemed
     shares shall be issued forthwith.

          d. Rights Subsequent to Redemption. If the Redemption Notice shall
     have been duly given, and if on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price
     therefor is either paid or made available for payment through the deposit
     arrangement specified in subparagraph (e) below, then notwithstanding that
     the certificates evidencing any of the shares of Series M Preferred Stock
     so called for redemption shall not have been surrendered, all rights with
     respect to such shares shall forthwith terminate after such Redemption
     Date, except for the right of the holders to receive the Redemption Price
     without interest upon surrender of their certificate or certificates
     therefor, and such shares shall not thereafter be transferred on the books
     of the corporation or be deemed to be outstanding whatsoever. If the funds
     of the corporation legally available for redemption of shares of Series M
     Preferred Stock on the Redemption Date are insufficient to redeem the total
     number of shares of Series M Preferred Stock to be redeemed on such date,
     those funds which are legally available will be used to redeem the maximum
     possible number of such shares ratably among the holders of such shares to
     be redeemed based upon the number of shares of Series M Preferred Stock
     held by each of them. The shares of Series M Preferred Stock not redeemed
     shall remain outstanding and shall be entitled to all the rights and
     preferences provided herein. At any time thereafter when additional funds
     of the corporation are legally available for the redemption of shares of
     Series M Preferred Stock such funds will immediately be used to redeem the
     balance of the shares which the

                                       11

<PAGE>   27

     corporation has become obliged to redeem on the Redemption Date, but
     which it has not redeemed.

          e. Deposit of Funds. On or prior to the Redemption Date, the
     corporation shall deposit in a trust fund with any bank or trust company
     having a capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000, a sum equal to the
     aggregate Redemption Price of all shares of Series M Preferred Stock, or a
     sum equal to the funds legally available pursuant to Section C.4.d above,
     with irrevocable instructions and authority to the bank or trust company to
     pay, on or after the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price to the
     respective holders upon the surrender of their stock certificates. The
     deposit shall constitute full payment of the shares to their holders, and
     from and after the Redemption Date the shares redeemed on the Redemption
     Date shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding, and the holders thereof
     shall cease to be stockholders with respect to such shares and shall have
     not rights with respect thereto except the rights to receive, from the bank
     or trust company, payment of the Redemption Price, without interest, upon
     surrender of their certificates therefor. Any funds so deposited and
     unclaimed at the end of one year from the Redemption Date shall be released
     or repaid to the corporation, after which the holders of shares called for
     redemption shall be entitled to receive payment of the Redemption Price
     only from the corporation.

     5. Voting.

          a. Voting Rights of Series B and Series C Preferred Stock. The holder
     of each share of Series B Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock shall
     have the right to one vote for each share of Common Stock into which such
     Series B Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock could then be
     converted (with any fractional shares, determined on an aggregate
     conversion basis, being rounded to the nearest whole share), and with
     respect to such vote, such holder shall have full voting rights and powers
     equal to the voting rights and powers of holders of shares of Common Stock,
     and shall be entitled, notwithstanding any provision hereof, to notice of
     any stockholders' meeting in accordance with the bylaws of this
     corporation, and shall be entitled to vote (except as otherwise expressly
     provided herein or as required by law), together with holders of shares of
     Common Stock as a single class, with respect to any question upon which
     holders of shares of Common Stock have the right to vote. Election of
     directors need not be by written ballot, unless the bylaws of the
     corporation shall so provide.

          b. Right to Vote on the Sale of the Corporation. The corporation shall
     not effect a Sale of the Corporation, as defined in Section C.2.d of
     Article V, without first obtaining the written consent of the holders of 66
     -2/3% of the shares of the Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred
     Stock (both treated as if fully converted to common stock) and the common
     stock issued upon conversion of the Series B and Series C Preferred Stock,
     all voting together as a single class.

                                       12

     by law, the holders of Series M Preferred Stock shall have no voting
     rights.

     6. Protective Provisions.

          a. Subject to the rights of series of Preferred Stock which may from
     time to time come into existence, so long as shares of Series B Preferred
     Stock are outstanding, this corporation shall not without first obtaining
     the approval (by vote or written consent, as provided by law) of holders of
     a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock:

               (i) alter or change the rights, preferences or privileges of the
          shares of Series B Preferred Stock, in a manner that adversely affects
          the holders of shares of the Series B Preferred Stock; or

               (ii) increase the authorized number of shares of Series B
          Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred Stock.

          b. Subject to the rights of series of Preferred Stock which may from

     holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series M Preferred
     Stock:

               (i) alter or change the rights, preferences or privileges of the
          shares of Series M Preferred Stock, in a manner that adversely affect
          the holders of shares of the Series M Preferred Stock; or

          shares of Series C Preferred Stock, in a manner that adversely affects
          the holders of shares of the Series C Preferred Stock; or

               (ii) increase the authorized number of shares of Series C
          Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred Stock.

                                       13

<PAGE>   29

     7. Status of Converted Stock. In the event any shares of Series B Preferred
Stock, Series C Preferred or Series M Preferred Stock shall be converted
pursuant to Section C.3 of this Article V., the shares so converted shall be
canceled and shall not be issuable by the corporation. This Certificate of
Incorporation shall be appropriately amended to effect the corresponding
reduction in the corporation's authorized capital stock.

     8. Status of Redeemed Stock. In the event any shares of Series M Preferred
Stock shall be redeemed pursuant to Section C.4 of this Article V., the shares

This Certificate of Incorporation shall be appropriately amended to effect the

     D. Common Stock.

     1. Dividend Rights. Subject to the rights of holders of shares of all
classes of stock at the time outstanding having prior rights as to dividends,
the holders of the Common Stock shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if

available therefor, such dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time
by the Board of Directors.

     2. Liquidation Rights. Upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of

law.

     4. Redemption. The Common Stock is not redeemable.

                                  ARTICLE VI.

         The business and affairs of the corporation shall be managed by or
under the direction of a board of directors consisting of not less than three
(3) nor more than nine (9) directors, provided, however, that the corporation
may have only one director until the effective date of the merger contemplated
between the corporation and B.I. Systems Corporation, a Delaware corporation.
The exact number shall be determined from time to time by resolution adopted by
the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors in office at the time of
adoption of such resolution. The directors shall be divided into three classes,
Class I Class II and Class III. The initial term of office of the Class I, Class
II and Class III directors shall expire at the annual meeting of stockholders in
1998, 1999 and 2000, respectively. The number of directors shall be apportioned
among the classes by the Board of Directors so as to maintain the number of
directors in each class as nearly equal as possible, and any additional director
of any class elected to fill a vacancy resulting from an increase in such class
shall hold office for a term that shall

                                       14

<PAGE>   30

coincide with the remaining term of that class. Beginning in 1998, at each
annual meeting of stockholders, successors to the class of directors whose term
expires at that annual meeting shall be elected for a three-year term. In no
case will a decrease in the number of directors shorten the term of any
incumbent director even though such decrease may result in an inequality of the
classes until the expiration of such term. A director shall hold office until
the annual meeting of the year in which his or her term expires and until his or
her successor shall be elected and shall qualify, subject, however, to prior
death, resignation, retirement or removal from office. Any director may be,
removed with or without cause, but only by the affirmative vote of the holders
of not less than a majority of the outstanding capital stock of the corporation
entitled to vote generally in the election of directors voting together as a
single class. Except as required by law or the provisions of this Certificate of
Incorporation, all vacancies on the Board of Directors and newly created
directorships shall be filled by the Board of Directors. Any director elected to
fill a vacancy not resulting from an increase in the number of directors shall
have the same remaining term as that of his or her predecessor.

                                  ARTICLE VII.

     A. Indemnification of Officers and Directors. The corporation shall:

     1. indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by the General Corporation
Law of the State of Delaware, as amended, any person who was or is a party or is
threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action,
suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative
(other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the
fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the corporation, or is
or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer,
employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, employee
benefit plan, trust or other enterprise, or if such person has previously been
designated for indemnification by the resolution of the Board of Directors, an
employee or agent of the Corporation, against expenses (including attorneys'
fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably
incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if
such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed
to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with
respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe
such person's conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit, or
proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo
contendre or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the
person did not act in good faith and in a manner which such person reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and
with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to
believe that such person's conduct was unlawful; and

     2. indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a
party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right
of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that
such person is or was a director or officer of the corporation, or is or was
serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or
agent of another corporation, joint venture, employee benefit plan, trust or
other enterprise, or if such person has previously been designated for
indemnification by the

                                       15

<PAGE>   31

resolution of the Board of Directors, an employee or agent of the corporation,
against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by
such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit
if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and
except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or
matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the
corporation unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery or
the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon
application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the
circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court
shall deem proper; and

     3. indemnify any director or officer, or, if such person has previously
been designated for indemnification by the resolution of the Board of Directors,
an employee or agent of the corporation, against expenses (including attorneys'
fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith,
to the extent that such director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation
has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or
proceeding referred to in Article VII.A.1 and 2, or in defense of any claim,
issue or matter therein; and

     4. make any indemnification under Article VII.A.1 and 2 (unless ordered by
a court) only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that
indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the
circumstances because such director, officer, employee or agent has met the
applicable standard of conduct set forth in Article VII.A.1 and 2. Such
determination shall be made (1) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of
a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to such action, suit or
proceeding, or (2) if such a quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable a
quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a
written opinion, or (3) by the stockholders of the corporation; and

     5. pay expenses incurred by a director or officer in defending a civil or
criminal action, suit or proceeding in advance of the final disposition of such
action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of
such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be
determined that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified by
the corporation as authorized in this Article VII. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the corporation shall not be obligated to pay expenses incurred by a
director or officer with respect to any threatened, pending, or completed claim,
suit or action, whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or
otherwise ("Proceedings") initiated or brought voluntarily by a director or
officer and not by way of defense (other than proceedings brought to establish
or enforce a right to indemnification under the provision of this Article VII.
unless a court of competent jurisdiction determines that each of the material
assertions made by the director or officer in such proceeding were not made in
good faith or were frivolous). The corporation shall not be obligated to
indemnify the director or officer for any amount paid in settlement of a
proceeding covered hereby without the prior written consent of the corporation
to such settlement; and

     6. not deem the indemnification and advancement of expenses granted
pursuant to the other subsections of this Article VII. exclusive of any other
rights to which those seeking

                                       16
<PAGE>   32

indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any bylaw,
agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as
to action in which director's or officer's official capacity and as to action in
another capacity while holding such office; and

     7. have the right, authority and power to purchase and maintain insurance
on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of
the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, employee benefit plan, trust or other enterprise, against any
liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such
capacity, or arising out of such person's status as such, whether or not the
corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability
under the provisions of this Article VII.; and

     8. deem the provisions of this Article VII. to be a contract between the
corporation and each director and officer, or appropriately designated employee
or agent who serves in such capacity at any time while this Article VII. is in
effect, and any repeal or modification of this Article VII. shall not affect any
rights or obligations then existing with respect to any state of facts then or
theretofore existing or any action, suit or proceeding theretofore or thereafter
brought or threatened based in whole or in part upon such state of facts; and

     9. continue the indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or
granted pursuant to, this Article VII. unless otherwise provided when authorized
or ratified, as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee
or agent of the corporation and such rights shall inure to the benefit of the
heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

     B. Elimination of Certain Liability of Directors. A director of the
corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its
stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director,
except for liability (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the
corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or
which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under
Section 174 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as the same
exists or hereafter may be amended, or (iv) for any transaction from which the
director derived an improper personal benefit. If the General Corporation Law of
the State of Delaware is amended to authorize corporate action further
eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability
of a director of the corporation, in addition to the limitation on personal
liability provided herein, shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent
permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as so
amended. Any repeal or modification of this Article VII. by the stockholders of
the corporation shall be prospective only, and shall not adversely affect any
limitation on the personal liability of a director of the corporation existing
at the time of such repeal or modification.

                                  ARTICLE VIII.

     Meetings of stockholders may be held within or without the State of
Delaware as the bylaws may provide. The books of the corporation may be kept
outside the State of Delaware at such place or places as may be designated from
time to time by the Board of Directors or in the

                                    17

bylaws of the corporation. Election of directors need not be by written ballot
unless the bylaws of the corporation so provide.

                                   ARTICLE IX.

     No stockholder of the corporation shall by reason of holding shares of any
class of stock have any cumulative voting right.

                                   ARTICLE X.

     The Board of Directors may from time to time make, amend, supplement or
repeal the corporation's bylaws; provided, however, that the stockholders may
change or repeal any bylaw adopted by the Board of Directors; and provided,
further, that no amendment or supplement to the bylaws adopted by the Board of
Directors shall vary or conflict with any amendment or supplement adopted by the
stockholders.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has executed this Certificate of
Incorporation of Genomic Solutions Inc. on December 24, 1997.

Report of Independent Public Accountants

To the Board of Directors,
B.I. Systems Corporation, Inc.:

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of B.I. SYSTEMS
CORPORATION, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES (a Delaware corporation) as of July 31, 1997,
and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity
and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Statements on
Standards for Accounting and Review Services issued by the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants. All information included in these financial
statements is the representation of the management of the Company.

A review consists principally of inquiries of company personnel and analytical
procedures applied to financial data. It is substantially less in scope than an
audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective
of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements
taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to the financial statements referred to above in order for them to be in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1, the Company
may be unable to continue as a going concern due to significant operating
losses. Management's plans to deal with this matter are also described in Note
1. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that
might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Ann Arbor, Michigan,
 September 19, 1997 (except with
   respect to the matter discussed
   in Note 1 as to which the date is
   December 12, 1997).

                B.I. SYSTEMS CORPORATION, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1)   DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

        B.I. Systems Corporation, Inc. (the "Company") designs, develops,
          manufactures and markets instrumentation, software, hardware and
          related products for quantifying and analyzing biomolecules, such as
          DNA, RNA and proteins. The Company's products are frequently used for
          typing, mapping and sequencing genes, discovering and developing
          pharmaceutical compounds, and diagnosing genetic and infectious
          diseases. The Company's customers are typically pharmaceutical and
          biotechnology companies, universities and government institutions. The
          Company was incorporated in June 1994. On July 26, 1994, the Company
          purchased certain assets, including software, inventory and fixed
          assets, from the Bio Image business unit ("Bio Image") of Millipore
          Corporation ("Millipore").

        The Company has three wholly-owned subsidiaries,  incorporated in
          Michigan, which operate sales offices in Europe, North America and the
          Asian Pacific areas. Revenues from software licensing, hardware sales
          and support services were derived from Europe (15%), North America
          (35%), and the Asian Pacific areas (50%).

        The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that
          the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company may be
          unable to continue as a going concern due to significant operating
          losses. Furthermore, the Company is in the early phases of
          implementing its operating strategy and its future success is subject
          to several technical and business risks including customer acceptance,
          availability and retention of key employees, competition,
          technological changes and additional financing adequate to support
          operations. In December 1997, the Company received letters of intent
          from existing stockholders and a new stockholder to provide a total of
          $6.5 million of equity financing beginning in December 1997.
          Additionally, the Company has hired three new executives; a President
          in March 1997, a Chief Financial Officer in November 1997, and an
          Executive Vice President of Global Marketing and Sales in December
          1997. The accompanying financial statements do not include any
          adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to
          continue as a going concern.

(2) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     Principles of Consolidation

       The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
          Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant
          intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in
          consolidation.

     Foreign Currency Translation

       Foreign currency transaction losses resulting from sales in foreign
          denominated currencies totaled approximately $52,000 and are included
          in other expense in the accompanying statement of operations. Accounts
          receivable denominated in foreign currencies as of July 31, 1997 have
          been translated at the exchange rates existing at that date.

                B.I. SYSTEMS CORPORATION, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

       Revenue Recognition

          The Company recognizes revenue from contracts for sales of software
          licenses, hardware and training upon shipment of goods or completion
          of services. Agreements for service and support are recognized over
          the period in which support services are provided on a straight-line
          basis.

       Inventories

          Inventories consist primarily of purchased components are stated at
          the lower of cost, as determined on a first-in, first-out basis, or
          market.

       Property and Equipment

          Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided
          on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the
          related assets which generally ran from three to seven years.

       Goodwill

          Goodwill resulted from the acquisition of BioPhotonics in 1997 (see
          Note 11) and is being amortized on a straight-line basis over ten
          years.

          At each balance sheet date, the Company evaluates the carrying value
          of goodwill and other long-lived assets for impairment whenever events
          or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not
          be recoverable. In 1997, the Company wrote-off approximately $829,000
          of goodwill and other intangible assets as a result of this evaluation
          which is included in the unusual charge on the accompanying statement
          of operations.

       Software Development Costs

          The Company accounts for software development costs in accordance with
          Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 86. Under SFAS
          No. 86, capitalization of software development costs begins upon the
          establishment of technological feasibility. Technological feasibility
          for the Company's software products is based upon achievement of
          detailed designs, free of high-risk development issues. The Company
          amortizes capitalized software development costs on a
          product-by-product, straight-line basis over the remaining estimated
          economic life of the related products which is generally a maximum of
          three years. In 1997, capitalized software development costs totaling
          approximately $354,000 were written off as it was determined that
          certain products had no remaining economic life. This charge is
          included in the unusual charge on the accompanying statement of
          operations.

                                  (Continued)

      Stock-Based Compensation

          The Company accounts for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic
          value method prescribed under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.
          25 (APB 25), "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." Accordingly,
          compensation cost for stock options is measured as the excess, if any,
          of the fair value of the Company's common stock at the date of the
          grant over the amount the employee must pay to acquire the stock. As
          supplemental information, the Company has provided pro forma
          disclosure of the fair value at the date of grant of stock options
          granted during 1997 in Note 9, in accordance with the requirements of
          Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (SFAS 123),
          "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation."

      Management Estimates

          The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
          accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
          and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
          liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
          date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
          and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
          from those estimates.

(3)  PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

     As of July 31, 1997, property and equipment consists of the following:

(4)  NOTE PAYABLE

      The Company has a note payable to a bank which is payable in full in
          April 1998. Interest is payable monthly at the bank's prime rate plus
          1.75% (effective rate of 10.25% as of July 31, 1997). The note is
          collateralized by substantially all of the Company's assets.

      The loan agreement subjects the Company to various financial and
          nonfinancial covenants, the most restrictive of which require the
          Company maintain certain levels of tangible net worth and current
          ratios. As of July 31, 1997, the company was in compliance with all
          covenants.

(5) INCOME TAXES

      The components of the provision for income taxes are as follows:
<TABLE>
<S>                                                 <C>
          Currently payable                         $   3,224
          Deferred credit                            (347,500)
          Increase in valuation allowance             347,500
                                                    ---------
                                                    $   3,224
                                                    =========
</TABLE>

      The effective tax rate differs from the statutory tax rate primarily due
          to certain nondeductible expenses and recognition of a valuation
          allowance against the tax benefit of net operating loss carryforwards
          and other tax benefits.

      The net deferred income tax asset is summarized as follows:

<TABLE>
<S>                                                  <C>

          Less- Valuation allowance.                  (585,400)
                                                     ---------
                                                     $    -
                                                     =========
</TABLE>

      The Company has an available net operating loss carryforward of
          approximately $806,000 which can be utilized to offset future taxable
          income and expires in 2011 through 2012. This and other deferred
          income tax assets are fully reserved by a valuation allowance as
          realizability of these tax benefits is not assured. Additionally,
          utilization of the net operating loss carryforward may be limited
          under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code.

(6)   RECAPITALIZATION

       In April 1997, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation pursuant
          to which the majority of the Company's outstanding debt and all
          outstanding shares of Series A preferred stock were restructured (the
          "Recapitalization"). Significant components of the Recapitalization,
          together with the applicable accounting effects, were as follows:

          (1)  The Company initiated a reverse stock split issuing one share of
               common stock for every 97.103 shares of outstanding common
               stock.

          (2)  Notes payable, bridge loan financing obtained during 1997 and
               accrued interest totaling $413,169 were converted to 413,169
               shares of Series B preferred stock at $1 per share. The Company
               also issued 200,986 shares of common stock to these creditors.

          (3)  The Company issued 1,267,711 shares of Series B preferred stock
               at $1 per share for cash.

          (4)  All outstanding shares of Series A preferred stock were converted
               to 45,821 shares of common stock.

          (5)  Subordinated convertible debt of $1,200,000 and accrued interest
               of $429,027, payable to both stockholders (defined as
               stockholders with greater than 10% ownership interest) and
               non-stockholders, was converted to 248,813 shares of common stock
               at $0.07 per share. The difference between the carrying value of
               the debt and the fair value of the common stock issued to
               existing stockholders of $644,643 has been credited directly to
               retained earnings. The difference between the carrying value of
               the debt and the fair value of the common stock issued to
               non-stockholders of $966,967 is included in extraordinary gain in
               the accompanying statement of operations.

          (6)  Accounts payable to stockholders for professional services
               rendered totaling $85,000 was converted to 13,100 shares of
               common stock at $0.07 per share. The difference between the fair
               value of the common stock and amounts owed of $84,083 has been
               credited directly to retained earnings.

          (7)  A note payable to Millipore and accrued interest totaling
               $983,764 was converted to 50,000 shares of Series M preferred
               stock at $1 per share. The difference between the carrying value
               of the debt and the fair value of the common stock of $933,764 is
               included in extraordinary gain in the accompanying statement of
               operations.

      (7)  PREFERRED STOCK

             As a result of the Recapitalization, the Company's preferred stock
               contains two series, Series B and Series M, and provide the
               following rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions:

           Dividends

             The holders of shares of Series B and Series M preferred stock are
                not entitled to any dividends.

           Conversion

             Each share of Series B and Series M preferred stock shall be
               convertible, at the holder's option, into such number of common
               shares as is determined by dividing the original Series B and M
               issue prices by $0.33 and $1.111, respectively. These conversion
               factors are subject to adjustment upon any recapitalization of
               the Company's common stock, as defined.

             Conversion of Series B and Series M preferred stock will occur
               automatically upon the consummation of the sale of the Company's
               common stock in a registration statement in connection with an
               initial public offering, as defined.

           Voting Rights

             The holders of Series B preferred stock have the right to one
               vote for each share of common stock into which such Series B
               preferred stock could then be converted. The holder of Series M
               preferred stock have no voting rights.

           Liquidation Preference

             In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
               affairs of the Company, either voluntarily or involuntarily, the
               holders of Series B and M preferred stock are entitled to
               receive, prior to and in preference to any distributions to the
               holders of common stock, an amount initially equal to $1 and, $6
               per share, respectively, subject to adjustment upon any
               recapitalization of the Company's common stock, as defined. The
               holders of Series B preferred stock are also entitled to receive,
               prior to and in preference to any distributions to the holders of
               common stock, an amount per share equal to 8% of the original
               issuance price of Series B preferred stock.

 (8)   COMMON STOCK

             The Company has reserved for issuance such number of shares of
               its authorized but unissued common stock necessary to effect
               conversion of all outstanding shares of Series B and M preferred
               stock and exercise of all outstanding options.

 (9)   STOCK OPTION PLAN

             Effective 1994, the Company established a stock option plan (the
               Plan) to increase its ability to attract and retain key employees
               as well as provide an incentive for certain consultants and
               directors to invest in the Company. Options granted may be either
               incentive stock options, which are granted at the fair market
               value of the common stock on the date of grant (as determined
               under the Plan), or nonqualified stock options, which are
               generally granted at the fair market value of the common stock on
               the date of grant. Options are granted at the discretion of Board
               of Directors. The maximum number of shares that may be granted
               under the Plan is 1,590,000. Options granted become exercisable
               at a rate of 33% per year over three years from the date of
               grant. As of July 31, 1997, 43,500 options have been exercised.

             The Company accounts for the Plan under APB Opinion No. 25, under
               which no compensation expense has been recognized. Had
               compensation expense been determined consistent with SFAS
               No. 123, the Company's reported net loss of $1,097,382 would have
               been increased to a net loss of $1,098,845. This pro forma result
               may not be representative of that to be expected in future
               periods.

             Information concerning stock options for the year ended July 31,
               1997, is as follows:

                (10)    EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN

                         The Company has a 401(k) plan covering all eligible
                           employees. Participants may elect to defer a certain
                           percentage of qualified compensation through
                           voluntary contributions to the plan and the Company
                           may make discretionary contributions to the plan
                           based on the gross compensation of qualified
                           participants. The Company made no contributions to
                           the plan in 1997.

               (11)    ACQUISITION OF BIOPHOTONICS, INC.

                         In June 1997, the Company acquired substantially all
                           assets of BioPhotonics, Inc. in exchange for $302,300
                           in cash and 85,000 shares of common stock at $O.07
                           per share. The Company has accounted for the
                           acquisition as a purchase and has allocated the
                           purchase price over the assets acquired based on
                           their respective fair market values. The excess of
                           the purchase price over the fair value of the net
                           assets acquired of approximately $126,000 has been
                           recorded as goodwill (see Note 2).
