BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETINGS

The Board of Directors has no standing committees other than its Audit Committee. The Board of Directors exercises supervision over nominating and compensation matters directly. Subject to review by the Board, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors reviews the annual financial statements and the scope of the annual audit with the Company's independent accountants and is available to discuss with the auditors any other audit-related matters arising during the year. The members of the Board's Audit Committee during 2000 were Ewen Cameron, Carl Levine and Gregory Barr.

From January 1 to December 31, 2000, the Board of Directors held five (5) formal meetings and took action by unanimous written consent four (4) times during that period.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

The Audit Committee oversees the Company's financial reporting process on behalf of the Board of Directors. Management has the primary responsibility for the financial statements and the reporting process including the systems of internal controls. In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, the Committee reviewed the audited financial statements in the Annual Report with management including a discussion of the quality, not just the acceptability, of the accounting principles, the reasonableness of significant judgments, and the clarity of the disclosures in the financial statements.

The Committee reviewed with the independent auditors, who are responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of those audited financial statements with generally accepted accounting principles, their judgments as to the quality, not just the acceptability, of the Company's accounting principles and such other matters as are required to be discussed with the Committee under generally accepted auditing standards. In addition, the Committee has discussed with the independent auditors the auditors' independence from management and the Company including the matters in the written disclosures required by the Independence Standards Board and considered the compatibility of nonaudit services with the auditors' independence.

The Committee discussed with the Company's internal and independent auditors the overall scope and plans for their respective audits. The Committee meets with the internal and independent auditors, with and without management present, to discuss the results of their examinations, their evaluations of the Company's internal controls, and the overall quality of the Company's financial reporting. The Committee held four meetings during fiscal year 2000.

In reliance on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Committee recommended to the Board of Directors (and the Board has approved) that the audited financial statements be included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000 for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Committee and the Board have also recommended, subject to shareholder approval, the selection of the Company's independent auditors.

Either of the Company or the employee may terminate the employment agreements upon the occurrence of certain events. If the Company terminates the employment of Mr. Cameron or Mr. Dobiesz, the terminated employee will be entitled to severance equal to one year's base salary.

7

On October 14, 1996, the Company entered into a three (3) year employment agreement with William L. Hutchison, the Company's Executive Vice President, Chief Operating Officer and Assistant Secretary. The employment agreement provides for an annual salary of $207,000 and is terminable prior to expiration of its stated term upon the occurrence of certain events. If Mr. Hutchison's employment agreement is terminated prior to its scheduled expiration without cause or for failure to adequately perform, in the Company's judgment, the services, duties and responsibilities assigned by the Company, whether or not such failure is intentional, Mr. Hutchison will be entitled to severance equal to six (6) month's salary.

EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

On October 23, 2000, the Shareholders ratified adoption of an Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP") under which employees of the Company and its subsidiaries are provided the opportunity to acquire common stock of the Company under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, at 85% of fair market value. An aggregate of 500,000 common shares are available under the ESPP. The ESPP became effective on June 19, 2000 upon adoption by the Company's Board of Directors. As of June 27, 2001, no employees have purchased common shares under the Plan.

1995 INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION PLAN

The Company adopted an Incentive Stock Option Plan, as amended ("Plan") to enhance the Company's ability to retain the services of outstanding personnel and encourage such employees to have a greater financial investment in the Company. The Plan authorizes the Board of Directors to grant incentive stock options under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, to key employees of the Company or its subsidiaries. At the date of this Proxy Statement there are approximately 95 employees eligible to participate in the Plan. The Plan is administered by the Board of Directors which has full power and authority to designate Participants, to determine the terms and provisions of respective option agreements (which need not be identical) and to interpret the provisions of the Plan. The Plan became effective May 16, 1995, was amended July 30, 1996 and will terminate August 8, 2005 unless earlier terminated by the Board of Directors or extended by the Board with approval of the stockholders.

An aggregate of 2,490,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock may be issued or transferred to grantees under the Plan. If there is a stock split, stock dividend or other relevant change affecting the Company's shares, appropriate adjustments will be made in the number of shares that may be issued or transferred in the future and in the number of shares and price of all outstanding grants made before such event. The option price shall not be less than the fair market value of the Company's Common Stock on the date of grant, unless the grantee is the holder of more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company, in which case the option price shall not be less than 110% of the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant. The Company has registered all of shares issuable under this Plan on Form S-8.

Options may be exercised solely by the Participant or his or her legal representative during his or her employment with the Company, or any subsidiary, or after his or her death by the person or persons entitled thereto under his or her will or the laws of descent and distribution. In the event of termination of employment for any reason other than death, permanent disability as determined by the Board, or retirement with the consent of the Company, Options may not be exercised by the Participant or his or her legal representative and shall lapse effective upon the earlier to occur of (i) notice of employment termination or (ii) last day of employment with the Company or any Subsidiary.

During 2000, the Company issued options to purchase 318,000 shares to non-executive employees and 50,000 shares to executive employees. During 2000, the Company canceled options previously granted to non-executive employees to purchase 23,000 shares of common stock. In each case, unless the recipient of a grant was the holder of more than 10% of the Company's issued and outstanding Common Stock, the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant determined the exercise price.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

Effective May 1, 1999 the Company entered into five (5) year employment agreements with Ewen Cameron, President & CEO, and Norman R. Dobiesz, Senior Vice President Business Development. See EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION - Employment Agreements.

The Company has an outstanding note payable to an officer, which is payable on demand with interest accruing at 8% per annum. The balance at December 31, 2000 and 1999 was $64,035 and $59,128, respectively.

A Director personally guaranteed a portion of the Company's obligations to the lessor over the term of the lease. The Company agreed to pay 6% of the total future value of the lease payments, excluding executory costs, as consideration for this guarantee. This amount was paid during 1991. The cost of the guarantee to the Company, 6% of $7,000,000 or $420,000 has been deferred as a financing cost (prepaid lease guarantee) in the accompanying financial statements and is amortized on a straight line basis over the term of the lease. Accumulated amortization of this amount at December 31, 2000 and 1999 was $291,708 and $262,908, respectively.

PROPOSAL TWO

RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

No disagreements with accountants on any accounting or financial disclosures occurred during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999.

Selection of Ernst & Young LLP

The Board of Directors has selected Ernst & Young LLP to act as auditors of the Company for the current fiscal year. The Board of Directors believes that it is desirable to engage their services for the current fiscal year because Ernst & Young competently acted as the Company's auditors for the last fiscal year. Ernst & Young's fees for the last fiscal year's annual audit were $118,040 and all other fees included audit related of $48,737 and nonaudit of $5,553. Representatives of Ernst & Young are expected to attend the Annual Meeting and will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

In the event the stockholders fail to ratify the selection of Ernst & Young LLP, the Board of Directors will consider it a direction to select other auditors for the subsequent year. Even if the selection is ratified, the Board of Directors, in its discretion, may direct the appointment of a new independent accounting firm at any time during the year, if the Board feels that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

Ratification of the selection of Ernst & Young LLP as the Company's auditors for the coming fiscal year requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the total votes cast by the holders of record of the shares present and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, a quorum being present.
