This transaction was approved by the shareholders on a vote held at its annual meeting on September 30, 1996. See Item 2 below. The Split-Off was first proposed by Proactive Technologies, Inc. (AMEX:PTE) and the material terms of the Agreement were determined principally in negotiations between Mr. Williams and Proactive. Mark A. Conner, Chairman of the Board and President of Proactive, is Chairman of the Board and CEO of the Company since September 30, 1996. As a result of the Split-Off, and assuming that it does not acquire any additional shares of Common Stock, Proactive will beneficially own approximately 35.5% of the outstanding Common Stock and become the largest shareholder of the Company.

(AMEX:PTE)and the material terms of the Agreement were determined principally in negotiations between Mr. Williams and Proactive. The closing of the split-off occurred on November 16, 1996; however, the effective date of the transfer of assets and liabilities will be May 1, 1996.

THE SPLIT-OFF; OTHER AGREEMENTS; CLOSING. (a)THE SPLIT-OFF.

The exact legal descriptions of the real property described on Exhibit A, and schedules describing all personal property identified on Exhibit A, have been agreed upon by Killearn and Williams, and such legal descriptions and schedules shall be utilized for purposes of identifying the determining the Transferred Assets.

(iv) EFFECTIVE DATE OF SPLIT-OFF. Notwithstanding the actual date of Closing, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be given effect as if such transactions had occurred on May 1, 1996 (the "Effective Date"). Accordingly, the actual amount of cash and accounts receivable to be transferred to NewSub on the Closing Date as part of the Transferred Assets will (i) be reduced by NewSub's pro rata portion of property taxes, insurance premiums and other expenses associated with the assets to be transferred to NewSub paid or incurred by the Company between the Effective Date and the Closing Date and (ii) be increased by the amount of income generated by the assets to be transferred to NewSub received by the Company between the Effective Date and the Closing Date, including the proceeds from the sale of any land which was to be transferred to NewSub (less closing costs and commissions in connection with the sale).
