    <remarks>These options were disposed of indirectly through a contractual arrangement entered into with J. Alan Lindauer, the issuer's Chief Executive Officer and President.  Pursuant to this arrangement, Mr. Troutman, in exchange for a cash payment of $21,250, granted Mr. Lindauer an option to purchase 10,000 shares of the issuer's common stock for $4.125 per share from Mr. Troutman by causing the exercise (after paying the associated exercise price) of a like amount of options with an exercise price of $4.125 held by Mr. Troutman or by purchasing directly the shares of the issuer's common stock purchased pursuant to such options.</remarks>
