                                 RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

     On June 1, 1998, the Company sold its interest in 75% of the common 
stock of U.S. Trucking, Inc., a Nevada corporation ("USTI"), pursuant to that 
certain First Amended and Restated Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of May 
29, 1998, by and among Precept Transportation Services, L.L.C., a Nevada 
limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company 
("Precept Transportation"), Logistics Management LLC, a Kentucky limited 
liability company, Association Services, Inc., a Kentucky corporation, 
Roxanne Pixler, Dan Pixler and Anthony Huff.  Precept Transportation had 
acquired its interests in USTI from USTS on March 19, 1998.  USTI is in the 
long-haul trucking business.

     To the best knowledge of the Company and except as described below, at 
the time of the divestiture of its interest in USTI there was no material 
relationship between (i) Logistics Management LLC, Association Services, 
Inc., Roxanne Pixler, Dan Pixler and Anthony Huff on the one hand and (ii) 
the Company, or any of its affiliates, shareholders, any director or officer 
of the Company, or any associate of such director or officer on the other.  
Prior to the aforementioned divestiture, Precept Transportation owned an 
interest in 75% of the common stock of USTI and Logistics Management owned 
the remaining 25% of the common stock of USTI.  Dan Pixler is the President 
of USTI and Anthony Huff is the Manager of Logistics Management, LLC.

     The aggregate consideration received by the Company as a result of the 
divestiture was $1,950,000, composed of $200,000 in cash and a promissory 
note with an original principal balance of $1,750,000, payable in monthly 
installments of principal and interest equal to $15,000 commencing July 1, 
1998 with the total outstanding principal and interest coming due on April 1, 
2000. The note carries an interest rate equal to the prime rate of Wells 
Fargo Bank (Texas), N.A. adjusted annually.  The consideration received by 
the Company in this divestiture was determined by arms-length negotiations 
between the parties to the First Amended and Restated Stock Purchase 
Agreement.

     On April 13, 1998, PBP acquired all of the issued and outstanding stock 
of InfoGraphix, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation ("InfoGraphix"), pursuant 
to that certain Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of April 8, 1998 by and 
among the Company, PBP, InfoGraphix and  James Gorin, the President and sole 
stockholder of InfoGraphix.  Boston-based InfoGraphix is a single source 
provider of products and services to corporate marketing departments and a 
distributor of document management services.

     To the best knowledge of the Company, at the time of the acquisition of 
InfoGraphix there was no material relationship between (i) InfoGraphix on the 
one hand and (ii) the Company, or any of its affiliates, its shareholders, 
any director or officer of the Company, or any associate of such director or 
officer on the other.

     The aggregate consideration paid by the Company as a result of the 
acquisition of InfoGraphix was $9,125,000, payable by the issuance of 
2,058,077 shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock, par value $.01.  The 
consideration for the acquisition was determined by arms-length negotiations 
between the parties to the Stock Purchase Agreement.
