Originally, such purchases were made in reliance on the merger agreement between the Company and Premiere Laser Systems, Inc. ("PREMIERE") that was not consummated. According to Amendment No. 14 to its Schedule 13D, Premiere has entered into another agreement to acquire by merger of all of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company that it does not already own in exchange for shares of Premiere's Common Stock. Mr. Silber has indicated to the Company that he opposes such a transaction. He reserves the right to vote against the proposed merger, as well as any rights he may have as a dissenting shareholder under Sections 1300 et seq. of the California Corporations Code. While Mr. Silber at this time has no intention of seeking membership on the Company's Board of Directors or proposing an alternative transaction, he reserves the right to do so in the future.

Ms. Dadouche originally acquired 191,500 shares of Common Stock from Mr. Silber; on October 26, 1999, Ms. Dadouche resold the shares to Mr. Silber. Mr. Silber owns sole voting power and sole dispositive power over the shares. Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer. Mr. Silber owns 263,500 shares of Common Stock, as to which he has sole voting power and sole dispositive power, representing 6.3% of the outstanding shares (based on 4,155,428 shares of Common Stock outstanding, as of July 14, 1999, as set forth in the Company's Form 10-QSB for the fiscal quarter ending May 31, 1999). Since the most recent filing of his Schedule 13D, Mr. Silber purchased on the open market an additional 6,500 shares at $.582 per share on August 25, 1999, 4,000 shares at $.563 per share on September 1, 1999, 2,500 shares at $.75 per share on September 16, 1999, 2,500 shares at $.64 per share on September 28, 1999, 8,000 shares at $1.434 per share on October 22, 1999, and 17,000 shares at $1.375 per share on October 25, 1999 (prices per share are in U.S. dollars). On October 26, 1999, Mr. Silber purchased 191,500 shares from Ms. Dadouche at $1.188 per share, the then market price of the shares.
