In addition, the Company will reimburse brokerage firms and other persons representing beneficial owners of Common Stock of the Company for their expenses in forwarding proxy material to such beneficial owners.

The employment agreement of Mr. Davis was amended in April 1995, at which time Mr. Davis assumed the position of Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Pursuant to such amended employment agreement, which terminates March 31, 1998, the Company is to pay 6 Mr. Davis a base salary at an annual rate of $200,000. Additionally, Mr. Davis may receive an annual bonus of cash and/or equity in an amount up to 100% of his base salary to be determined by the Compensation Committee. The committee granted a bonus to Mr. Davis of $20,000 in April 1996. In April 1995, the Company entered into an amendment of the employment agreement of Paul M.

The base salary for the term of the agreement was set at $120,000. Mr. O'Brien is entitled to receive an annual bonus in cash and/or equity of the Company in an amount up to 50% of base salary, to be determined by the Compensation Committee. The committee granted a bonus to Mr. O'Brien of $10,000 in April 1996. Pursuant to their current employment agreements, each of Messrs.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION The Company pays non-employee directors $1,000 for attendance at each meeting of the Board of Directors and $500 for committees thereof. The Company also pays expenses for attendance at meetings of the Board of Directors and committees thereof. SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE Based solely on a review of reports furnished to the Company or written representations from the Company's directors and executive officers, the Company believes that all reports required to be filed pursuant to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 were filed timely by the Company's directors, executive officers and ten percent holders during Fiscal Year 1996. CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS The Company leases its main facility in Plainville, Massachusetts, from D&K Realty Trust (the "Trust"). Klaus J. Peter, an officer and director of the Company, and David R. Lennox, a former officer and director of the Company and the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the Company's Common Stock, are the beneficial owners of the Trust. In April 1993, the Company entered into a revised lease with the Trust for a term of fifteen (15) years and renewable for fifteen (15) years on the same terms. In 1992 the Company had an independent appraisal of the premises and, based on such appraisal, the Company believes that the rental per square foot is comparable to that of other facilities in the area and is reasonable and fair. Lease payments by the Company to the Trust in Fiscal Year 1996 totaled approximately $83,400 and in fiscal year ended March 31, 1995 totaled approximately $83,400. Further, in the fiscal year ended March 31, 1994, the Company paid approximately $65,000.

The Board of Directors recommends that the shareholders vote "FOR" the proposal to ratify the appointment of Arthur Andersen LLP, and the enclosed proxy will be so voted unless a contrary vote is indicated. In the event the appointment of Arthur Andersen LLP should not be approved by the shareholders, the Board of Directors will make another appointment to be effective at the earliest possible time. STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS The Board will make provision for presentation of proposals by shareholders at the 1997 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (or special meeting in lieu thereof) provided such proposals are submitted by eligible shareholders who have complied with the relevant regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Such proposals must be received by the Company no later than March 31, 1997, to be considered for inclusion to the Company's proxy materials relating to that meeting. GENERAL The management of the Company knows of no matter other than the foregoing to be brought before the Meeting.
