The Audit Committee is currently comprised of Howard M. Pinsley, Robin L.
Crandell and Michael W. Forman, all independent directors of the Company. Mr.
Pinsley and Mr. Crandell have served on the Audit Committee since 2002 and Mr.
Forman became a member in 2003. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005,
the Audit Committee met nine times. The Board and the Audit Committee believe
the Audit Committee's member composition satisfies the NASD Rules that govern
audit committee composition, including the requirement that audit committee
members all be "independent directors" as that term is defined by NASD Rule
4200(a)(15). The Audit Committee operates under a written charter and consistent
with such charter monitors and oversees the Company's financial reporting
process on

                                       5



behalf of the Board. It reviews the independence of the Company's registered
independent public accounting firm and is responsible for, among other matters,
authorizing or approving the engagement of the registered independent public
accounting firm for both audit services and permitted non-auditing services, the
scope of audit and non-audit assignments, related fees, the accounting
principles used in financial reporting, internal financial accounting
procedures, the adequacy of the internal control procedures, critical accounting
policies, the overall quality of the Company's financial reporting, and
reviewing and approving in advance, if appropriate, any proposed related party
transactions. The Audit Committee has established procedures for the receipt,
retention and treatment of complaints received by the Company regarding
accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters, and for the
confidential, anonymous submission by Company employees of concerns regarding
questionable accounting or auditing matters or other Company-related matters.
The procedures for submission and investigation of communications regarding
accounting and auditing matters and other Company-related matters are posted on
the Company's web site, www.allamerican.com. This document is also available in
print upon written request. Such written request should be sent to the Company,
Attention: Chief Financial Officer, at the Company's address stated hereinabove.
The Board has determined that Mr. Pinsley, who as noted above is independent as
that term is used in Item 7(d)(3)(iv) of Schedule 14A under the Exchange Act, is
an audit committee financial expert as defined in Item 401(h)(2) of Regulation
S-K. See "Audit Committee Report" below.

Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee currently consists of Howard M. Pinsley and Robin L.
Crandell, two independent directors of the Company. The Compensation Committee
is responsible for determining the compensation of all executive officers of the
Company and acts as the stock option committee of the Board, administering the
Option Plan. The senior management of the Company makes all decisions with
respect to the compensation (other than the granting of stock options) of all
employees other than the executive officers of the Company. See "BOARD OF
DIRECTORS." During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, the Compensation
Committee met once and acted once by unanimous written consent.

Nominating Committee

The Nominating Committee is currently comprised of Howard M. Pinsley and Robin
L. Crandell, both independent directors of the Company. The Nominating Committee
operates under a written charter approved by the Board and consistent with such
charter evaluates and proposes nominees for the Board considering the minimum
qualifications required of Board members as set forth in the charter. A copy of
the Nominating Committee charter is available on the Company's web site,
www.allamerican.com. The charter requires that all members of the Nominating
Committee be "independent directors" as that term is defined by NASD Rule
4200(a)(15). The Nominating Committee will consider shareholder recommendations
for nominees for membership on the Board. Such recommendations may be submitted
to the Company, Attention: Howard L. Flanders, Corporate Secretary, at the
Company's address stated hereinabove. The Corporate Secretary will present such
recommendations to the Nominating Committee. There are no specific, minimum
qualifications that the Nominating Committee believes must be met by nominees
recommended by the Nominating Committee and the Nominating Committee will
utilize the same criteria in evaluating nominees recommended by the Nominating
Committee and nominees recommended by shareholders. In evaluating candidates for
nomination to the Board, the charter of the Nominating Committee requires the
Nominating Committee to consider the contribution that a candidate would be
expected to make to the Board and the Company based upon the current composition
and needs of the Board and the candidate's expertise, integrity, prior
experience, education, relationships and other factors that the Board determines
are relevant. The Nominating Committee will identify potential candidates
through recommendations from the Company's officers, directors, shareholders and
other appropriate third parties. Although the Company is not currently paying a
fee to any third party to identify or evaluate potential nominees, there is no
guarantee that the Nominating Committee will not engage a third party search
firm in the future, which engagement is authorized by the Nominating Committee
charter. The Nominating Committee met once during the fiscal year ended December
31, 2005.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

The Audit Committee of the Company's Board (the "Audit Committee") is currently
comprised of Howard M. Pinsley, Robin L. Crandell and Michael W. Forman, all
independent directors of the Company. Mr. Pinsley and Mr. Crandell have served
on the Audit Committee since 2002 and Mr. Forman became a member in 2003. The
Audit Committee operates under a written charter adopted and amended and
restated by the Board in order to incorporate the changes

                                       6



required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, SEC rules and the NASD Rules. The Board and
the Audit Committee believe that the Audit Committee's current member
composition satisfies the NASD Rules that govern audit committee composition,
including the requirement that audit committee members all be "independent
directors" as that term is defined by NASD Rule 4200(a)(15).

The Audit Committee holds discussions with management and the Company's
registered independent public accounting firm regarding current audit
activities. Management has the primary responsibility for the Company's
financial statements, systems of internal controls and the financial reporting
process. The registered independent public accounting firm is responsible for
performing an independent audit of the Company's consolidated financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting standards and to
issue a report thereon. The Audit Committee's responsibility is to monitor and
oversee these processes.

The Audit Committee authorized and approved in 2005 the appointment of the
Company's registered independent public accounting firm, subject to shareholder
ratification. The Company's registered independent public accounting firm also
provided to the Audit Committee the written disclosure and letter required by
Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 ("Independence Discussions with
Audit Committees"), and the Audit Committee discussed with the registered
independent public accounting firm that firm's independence from the Company and
its management.

Management represented to the Audit Committee that the Company's consolidated
financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles in the United States, and the Audit Committee has reviewed
and discussed the consolidated financial statements with management and the
registered independent public accounting firm. The Audit Committee also
discussed with the registered independent public accounting firm matters
required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61
("Communication with Audit Committees"). Based on these discussions and reviews,
the Audit Committee recommended that the Board include the audited consolidated
financial statements in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2005 for filing with the SEC.

The Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of the non-audit
services described in "Tax Fees" below is compatible with maintaining Lazar
Levine & Felix LLP's independence.

compensation of the executive officers, including annual base salaries, cash and
non-cash bonuses, stock ownership plans, retirement plans and other benefits.

part, the Compensation Committee believes in using incentives such as annual
incentive cash bonuses and stock option grants and deferred compensation plans
as a means of motivating its executive officers to perform at the highest levels
possible and to tie directly the compensation of the Company's executive
officers to the operating performance of the Company. The Compensation Committee
also takes into consideration the compensation of executive officers at
companies similar in size to the Company and at other companies within the same
industry as the Company.

During fiscal year 2005 executive officers named in the Summary Compensation
Table were compensated pursuant to employment agreements entered into prior to
2005 or previously existing compensation arrangements. See "Employment
Agreements" hereinbelow.

Employees', Officers', Directors' Stock Option Plan

In 1987, the Company established the Option Plan. Subsequent thereto certain
amendments to and a restatement of the Option Plan have been adopted by the
Board and approved by the shareholders of the Company. The Option Plan may be
further modified or amended by the Board, but certain modifications and
amendments are subject to approval by the Company's shareholders. The Option
Plan provides for the granting to key employees of both "incentive stock
options," within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the "Code") and "nonqualified stock options" ("nonqualified
stock options" are options which do not comply with Section 422 of the Code) and
for the granting to nonemployee directors and independent contractors associated
with the Company of nonqualified stock options. Unless earlier terminated, the
Option Plan will continue in effect through September 6, 2015, after which it
will expire and no further options could thereafter be granted under the Option
Plan. The expiration of the Option Plan, or its termination by the Board, will
not affect any options previously granted and then outstanding under the Option
Plan. Such outstanding options would remain in effect until they have been
exercised, terminated or have expired. A maximum of 1,350,000 shares of the
Company's Common Stock have been reserved for issuance upon the exercise of
options granted under the Option Plan, subject to any adjustments required upon
changes in capitalization to prevent dilution or enlargement of the shares
issuable pursuant to the Option Plan by reason of any stock split, stock
dividend, combination of shares, recapitalization or other change in the capital
structure of the Company.

The Option Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee comprised of two
or more independent directors appointed by the Board from among its members. Any
member of the Compensation Committee may be removed at any time either with or
without cause by action of the Board and a vacancy on the Compensation Committee
due to any reason can be filled by the Board. The current members of the
Compensation Committee are two of the independent directors of the Company,
Howard M. Pinsley and Robin L. Crandell. Subject to the express limitations of
the Option Plan, the Compensation Committee has authority, in its discretion, to
interpret the Option Plan, to adopt, prescribe, amend and rescind rules and
regulations as it deems appropriate concerning the holding of its meetings and
administration of the Option Plan, to determine and recommend persons to whom
options should be granted, the date of each option grant, the number of shares
of Common Stock to be included in each option, any vesting schedule, the option
price and term (which in no event will be for a period more than ten years from
the date of grant) and the form and content of agreements evidencing options to
be issued under the Option Plan.

Options may be currently granted under the Option Plan to any key employee or
nonemployee director or prospective key employee or nonemployee director
(conditioned upon, and effective not earlier than, his or her becoming an
employee or director) of or independent contractor associated with the Company
or its subsidiaries. However, as required by the Code, nonemployee directors and
independent contractors are only eligible to receive nonqualified stock options.
In determining key employees to whom options will be granted, the Compensation
Committee takes into consideration the key employee's present and potential
contribution to the success and growth of the Company's business and other such
factors as the Compensation Committee may deem proper or relevant in its
discretion including whether such person performs important job functions or
makes important decisions for the Company, as well as the judgment, initiative,
leadership and continued efforts of eligible participants. Employees who are
also officers or directors of the Company or its subsidiaries will not by reason

                                       11




of such offices be ineligible to receive options. However, no member of the
Compensation Committee is eligible to receive options under the Option Plan and
it is currently contemplated that nonemployee directors would be granted options
under the 2000 Nonemployee Director Stock Option Plan described below and not
the Option Plan. The Compensation Committee has not adopted formal eligibility
limitation criteria. Therefore, quantification of the current number of
employees, nonemployee directors and independent contractors that would
technically be eligible for participation is not currently readily determinable.

The exercise price for all options granted under the Option Plan shall not be
less than the fair market value of the Company's Common Stock on the date of
grant (or, in the case of incentive stock options, 110% of the fair market value
if the beneficiary of the grant beneficially owns 10% or more of the outstanding
shares of the Company's Common Stock). For purposes of the Option Plan, fair
market value on the date of grant of any option is the average of the "market
price" of a share of Common Stock for each of the seven (7) consecutive business
days preceding such date. The "market price" on each such day shall be (i) if
the Common Stock is listed on a securities exchange (including The Nasdaq Stock
Market), the closing sales price on such exchange on such day or, in the absence
of reported sales on such day, the mean between the reported closing bid and
asked prices on such exchange on such day, or (ii) if the Common Stock is not
listed on a securities exchange (including The Nasdaq Stock Market), the mean
between the closing bid and asked prices as quoted by the National Association
of Securities Dealers, Inc. through the National Association of Securities
Dealers Automated Quotation System ("NASDAQ") for such day; provided, however,
that, if there are no such quotations or if it is determined that the fair
market value is not properly reflected by such NASDAQ quotations or the Common
Stock is not traded on an exchange or over the counter, fair market value shall
be determined by such other method as the Compensation Committee determines to
be reasonable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if on, or within ten (10) days
prior to, the date of grant of any options a registration statement filed by the
Company with the SEC in connection with a public offering of Common Stock
becomes effective, the fair market value of a share of such Common Stock shall
be the public offering price per share of Common Stock being offered pursuant to
such offering.

Except as may be specifically limited by the terms of the Option Plan, the
granting of options is made at the sole discretion of the Compensation
Committee. Further, the aggregate fair market value of the Company's Common
Stock (determined at the date of the option grant) for which an employee may be
granted incentive stock options which first become exercisable in any calendar
year under the Option Plan may not exceed $100,000. Options granted pursuant to
the Option Plan are not transferable during an optionee's lifetime.

The term of and any vesting schedule (whether the option will be exercisable
immediately, in stages or otherwise, or the vesting will be based upon any
condition such as the operating performance of the Company or other events such
as a change in control) for an option granted under the Option Plan is
established by the Compensation Committee, but the term may not be more than ten
years from the date of grant of the option, except that, in the case of a person
receiving an incentive stock option who at such time owns the Company's Common
Stock representing more than 10% of the Company's Common Stock outstanding at
the time the option is granted, the term of such incentive stock option shall
not exceed five years from the date of grant of the option. In general, options
will not be exercisable after the expiration of their term. Furthermore, the
Compensation Committee has the authority and discretion to determine the time
frame in which an optionee has to exercise his options (subject to the ten-year
limitation from date of grant) in the event of his termination of employment due
to death, disability, termination without cause, retirement, voluntarily leaving
the Company or a change in control.

As of the Record Date, a total of 881,841 options were granted and had not
expired or been forfeited, of which 344,269 were exercised and 537,572 options
were outstanding (of which 221,550 options were held by executive officers of
the Company as a group and 163,514 options are presently exercisable). These
options, which are held by 164 persons, are exercisable at prices ranging from
$1.92 per share to $9.55 per share and are exercisable through various
expiration dates from 2006 to 2011. There were 468,159 shares available as of
the Record Date for future issuance under the Option Plan.

2000 Nonemployee Director Stock Option Plan

In June 2000, the Company established the 2000 Nonemployee Director Stock Option
Plan, as amended (the "Director Stock Option Plan"). The Director Stock Option
Plan provides for awards of options to purchase shares of Common Stock of the
Company to nonemployee directors of the Company. Under the Director Stock Option
Plan, on or about the day of each nonemployee director's initial election to the
Company's Board, each nonemployee director will be awarded nonqualified stock
options to purchase at least 1,500 shares of the Company's Common Stock, but not
to exceed a maximum of 15,000 shares, at the fair market value of the Company's
Common Stock on the date on which the option is granted. The Board will
determine the number of options to be granted to a nonemployee director upon his
or her initial election as it deems necessary or advisable and in the best
interests of the Company in order to attract and obtain outstanding and highly
qualified candidates to serve on the Company's Board. On the date of the
Company's annual meeting of shareholders occurring later than 12 months after a
nonemployee director's initial election, the Director Stock Option Plan provides
such nonemployee director (subject to his or her re-election if up for
re-election at such annual meeting) will be automatically awarded additional
options to purchase 1,000 shares of Common Stock at the fair market value of the
Company's Common Stock on the date on which the option is granted. An aggregate
of 75,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock have been reserved for issuance
under the Director Stock Option Plan. As of the Record Date, a total of 21,000
options were granted and had not expired or been forfeited, of which 1,500 were
exercised and 19,500 options were outstanding. These options, which are held by
4 persons, have exercise prices ranging from $1.98 per share to $10.53 per share
(based on fair market value at date of grant) and vest in 50% annual increments
over a two-year period and are exercisable over a ten-year period. Under certain
circumstances, including death, permanent disability, retirement or a change in
control, vesting is accelerated and the options become fully exercisable.

Registration Statements

The Company has filed registration statements on Form S-8 with the SEC in order
to register all of the shares of Common Stock issuable under the Company's two
option plans before taking into account the additional 250,000 shares of Common
Stock issuable pursuant to an amendment to the Option Plan that was approved at
the Company's 2005 annual meeting of shareholders. So long as such registration
statements remain effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Act"), shares of Common Stock (other than such additional 250,000 shares)
issued upon the exercise of outstanding options under the option plans will be
immediately and freely tradable without restriction under the Act, subject to
applicable volume limitations, if any, under Rule 144 and, in the case of
executive officers and directors of the Company, Section 16 of the Exchange Act.
It is contemplated that the Company will, at the appropriate time, file an
additional registration statement on Form S-8 in order to register the
additional 250,000 shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the amendment to
the Option Plan that was approved at the Company's 2005 annual meeting of
shareholders.

Deferred Compensation Plans for Executive Officers and Key Employees

Effective January 1, 1988, the Company established a deferred compensation plan
(the "1988 Deferred Compensation Plan") for executive officers and key employees
of the Company. The employees eligible to participate in the 1988 Deferred
Compensation Plan (the "Participants") are chosen at the sole discretion of the
Board, upon a recommendation from the Compensation Committee. In 2003, the 1988
Deferred Compensation Plan was amended to allow a Participant to elect to
receive a lump sum benefit, providing such Participant has attained at least the
age of 65 and has at such time 25 or more years of service with the Company.
Pursuant to the 1988 Deferred Compensation Plan, commencing on a Participant's

                                       13



retirement date, he or she will receive an annuity for ten years, unless he or
she has elected to receive a lump sum benefit as described above. The amount of
the annuity shall be computed at 30% of the Participant's salary, as defined.
Any Participant with less than ten years of service to the Company as of his or
her retirement date will only receive a pro rata portion of the annuity.
Retirement benefits paid under the 1988 Deferred Compensation Plan will be
distributed monthly. The Company did not pay any benefits under this plan for
2005. The maximum annuity benefit payable to a Participant (including each of
the named executive officers) under the 1988 Deferred Compensation Plan is
presently $30,000 per annum.

During 1996, the Company established a second deferred compensation plan (the
"1996 Deferred Compensation Plan") for executives of the Company. The executives
eligible to participate in the 1996 Deferred Compensation Plan are chosen at the
sole discretion of the Board upon a recommendation from the Compensation
Committee. The Company may make contributions each year in its sole discretion
and is under no obligation to make a contribution in any given year. For 2005
the Company did not make any contributions to the plan. Participants in the plan
will vest in their plan benefits over a ten-year period. If the participant's
employment terminates due to death, disability or a change in control of
management, he or she will vest 100% in all benefits under the plan. Retirement
benefits will be paid, as selected by the participant, based on the sum of the
contributions made and any additions based on investment gains. One executive
officer (John Jablansky) of the Company has been chosen as a participant in the
1996 Deferred Compensation Plan.

401(k) Plan

The Company maintains a 401(k) plan (the "401(k) Plan"), which is intended to
qualify under Section 401(k) of the Code. All full-time employees of the Company
are eligible to participate in the 401(k) Plan after completing 90 days of
employment. During 2005, each eligible employee could elect to contribute to the
401(k) Plan, through payroll deductions, up to 100% of his or her salary,
limited to $15,000 in 2005. The Company's 401(k) Plan provides for discretionary
matching contributions by the Company. During 2001 and in prior years, the
Company's 401(k) Plan provided for standard matching contributions by the
Company in the amount of 25% on the first 6% contributed of each participating
employee's salary. No matching contributions were made by the Company for 2005.

Employment Agreements

The Goldberg Agreements

The Company has employment agreements with each of Paul Goldberg, its Chairman
of the Board, and Bruce M. Goldberg, its Chief Executive Officer and President
(collectively and as amended the "Goldberg Agreements"). Effective January 1,
2000, the term of each of the Goldberg Agreements was extended until December
31, 2005, with automatic additional successive one-year renewal periods
thereafter unless terminated in writing by the Company or the employee at least
60 days prior to the expiration of the then current term and subject, in the
case of Paul Goldberg, to earlier termination in the event that Paul Goldberg
elects to exercise his right to retire as hereinafter described. Each of the
Goldberg Agreements provides for a base salary, in the case of Paul Goldberg, of
$291,167 per annum effective January 1, 2000, and, in the case of Bruce M.
Goldberg, of $391,723 per annum effective January 1, 1999, subject to an annual
increase equal to the greater of 4% per annum or the increase in the cost of
living. During 2001 through 2005 Bruce M. Goldberg and Paul Goldberg voluntarily
agreed to reductions in the base salary that they would otherwise then have been
entitled to receive. Under the Goldberg Agreements, Paul Goldberg and Bruce M.
Goldberg are entitled to receive, in the case of Paul Goldberg, an annual cash
bonus equal to 3% and, in the case of Bruce M. Goldberg, an annual cash bonus in
1999 equal to 4% and in 2000 and thereafter 5% of the Company's pre-tax income,
before nonrecurring and extraordinary charges, in excess of $1,000,000 in any
calendar year. Such annual bonus compensation for each of Paul Goldberg and
Bruce M. Goldberg is limited in any year to an amount no greater than two times
his respective base salary for the applicable year. In addition, upon a change
in control, all options granted by the Company to Paul Goldberg and Bruce M.
Goldberg automatically vest.

Under the Goldberg Agreement for Paul Goldberg, as amended, he is able to elect,
in his sole discretion, to retire at any time (the "Retirement Election"). Upon
the earlier to occur of the Retirement Election or at the expiration of the term
of his Goldberg Agreement, the Company will be obligated to pay Paul Goldberg
(in addition to any other compensation he may be entitled to upon termination),
and his spouse upon his death, a retirement benefit of $100,000 per annum until
the later of the death of Paul Goldberg or his spouse, provide him and his
spouse, without cost, until the later of their respective deaths, at least the

                                       14



same level of medical and health insurance benefits as was provided prior to his
retirement and continue to pay the premiums on the life insurance policy
insuring his life as described under "Summary Compensation Table" hereinabove.

The Goldberg Agreements also provide certain additional benefits to each of Paul
Goldberg and Bruce M. Goldberg, including participation in the Company benefit
plans, use of or payment for an automobile and, in the case of Bruce M.
Goldberg, continuance in the event of disability of all his respective
compensation and other benefits for two years and the payment of the annual
premium on the Whole Life Policy as described under "Summary Compensation Table"
above.

The Goldberg Agreements, also provide that, in the event of change in control
(as defined in the Goldberg Agreements) of the Company, each of Paul Goldberg
and Bruce M. Goldberg shall have the option in his sole discretion to terminate
his Goldberg Agreement. In such event, Paul Goldberg would be entitled to elect
(in lieu of electing to continue to receive some or all of the compensation,
payments and benefits as and when due under his Goldberg Agreement) to receive a
lump sum payment equal to the sum of (i) Paul Goldberg's compensation due
through the greater of the end of the term of his Goldberg Agreement or three
years after the change in control, (ii) the present value (assuming a certain
discount rate and life expectancy) of the retirement payments payable to Paul
Goldberg commencing from the later of the end of the term or three years after
the change in control until his death, (iii) an amount sufficient to pay, until
the later of his or his spouse's death, the premium for at least the same level
of health insurance benefits as was provided before the change in control and
(iv) an amount sufficient to pay until his death, the premiums on the life
insurance policy insuring his life as described under "Summary Compensation
Table" above. Similarly, under the Goldberg Agreement for Bruce M. Goldberg, in
the event of a change in control and Bruce M. Goldberg's election to terminate
his Goldberg Agreement, Bruce M. Goldberg at his option will be entitled to
elect to receive a lump sum payment equal to his compensation due through the
later of the end of the term of his Goldberg Agreement or three years after the
change in control or for such period to continue to receive such compensation as
and when due under the Goldberg Agreement. The Goldberg Agreements (as well as
the employment agreement for Howard L. Flanders discussed below) also provide
for reimbursement of, and a gross-up for, any federal tax liability imposed
pursuant to Section 4999 or Section 280G (or any successor provisions) of the
Code, as amended, and any similar state or local taxes, as a result of a change
in control payment, consideration and/or benefit made or provided by the Company
pursuant to such employment agreements.

The Flanders Agreement

Effective as of January 1, 2000, the Company entered into a new employment
agreement with Howard L. Flanders, its Executive Vice President, Chief Financial
Officer and Corporate Secretary (the "Flanders Agreement").

The Flanders Agreement had an initial term through December 31, 2003, with
automatic additional successive one-year renewal periods thereafter unless
terminated in writing by the Company or the employee at least 60 days prior to
expiration of the then current term. It provides for a base salary, effective as
of January 1, 2000, of $215,000 per annum, subject to an annual increase
commencing January 1, 2001, equal to the greater of 5% per annum or the increase
in the cost of living. During 2001 through 2005, Howard L. Flanders voluntarily
agreed to reductions in the base salary that he would otherwise then have been
entitled to receive. Under the Flanders Agreement, Mr. Flanders is entitled to
receive an annual cash bonus equal to 2% of the Company's pre-tax income, before
nonrecurring and extraordinary charges, in excess of $1,000,000 in any calendar
year. Such annual cash bonus compensation is limited in any year to an amount no
greater than the base salary for the applicable year. The Flanders Agreement
also provides for certain additional benefits, including participation in the
Company benefit plans, use of or payment for an automobile and continuance of
all his compensation and other benefits for two years in the event of
disability. Further, if Mr. Flanders were to be terminated without cause (which
includes requiring employee to perform duties not commensurate with his offices
or which differ materially from duties that presently exist or, after a change
in control, changing the location where employee is based), he is entitled to
receive severance benefits equal to the greater of two-years compensation or the
remainder of the compensation due under the Flanders Agreement. Additionally,
under the Flanders Agreement, the Company has paid premiums under a life
insurance policy for Mr. Flanders with the beneficiary to be as designated by
Mr. Flanders as described under "Summary Compensation Table" above. The Flanders
Agreement also provides that, in the event of a change in control (as defined in
the Flanders Agreement) of the Company, Mr. Flanders would have the option in
his sole discretion to terminate the Flanders Agreement. In such event, and
subject to remaining an employee of the Company (or its successor) for 180 days
after the change in control (other than as a result of his death, disability or
termination without cause), Mr. Flanders, at his option, is entitled to elect to
receive a lump-sum payment equal to his compensation due through the later of
the end of the term of the Flanders Agreement or two years after the change in
control or for such period to continue to receive such compensation as and when

                                       15



due under the Flanders Agreement. In addition, upon a change in control, all
options granted by the Company to Mr. Flanders automatically vest. The Flanders
Agreement also contains covenants not to compete, nonsolicitation and
nondisclosure provisions.

The Jablansky Agreement

On January 31, 2006, the Company entered into an employment agreement (the
"Jablansky Agreement") with John Jablansky, its Senior Vice President of
Operations and Asset Management and an executive officer of the Company. The
Jablansky Agreement is effective as of January 1, 2006 and has an initial term
through December 31, 2006, with automatic additional successive one-year renewal
periods thereafter unless terminated in writing by the Company or the employee
at least 60 days prior to expiration of the then current term. The Jablansky
Agreement provides for a base salary, effective as of January 1, 2006, of
$200,000 per annum, subject to an annual increase for each calendar year during
the term of the Jablansky Agreement after 2006 equal to the greater of 5% per
annum or the annual increase in the cost of living. Mr. Jablansky is also
entitled to participate in all employee benefit plans offered by the Company,
including, without limitation, medical insurance, dental insurance, pension
and/or profit sharing plans, 401(k) plans, stock option plans and cafeteria
plans, as well as the 1996 Deferred Compensation Plan. Under the Jablansky
Agreement, if the Company were to terminate Mr. Jablansky without cause (as
defined in the Jablansky Agreement) or if Mr. Jablansky were to become disabled,
he would be entitled to receive a severance amount equal to that portion of his
gross annual salary at the time of termination that would have been paid over
the number of weeks equal to the product of 2 multiplied by the full number of
calendar years that Mr. Jablansky had been employed by the Company. This
severance amount would be paid on the basis of regularly occurring payroll
payments as if Mr. Jablansky were still employed by the Company. The Jablansky
Agreement also provides that, in the event that a change in control (as defined
in the Jablansky Agreement) of the Company occurs while Mr. Jablansky is
employed by the Company, and within the 60-day period prior to the date of the
change in control or at any time during the two year period following the date
of the change in control, Mr. Jablansky's employment is terminated by the
Company without cause or the Company elects not to renew the Jablansky Agreement
or the Company requires Mr. Jablansky to relocate to an office outside of
Miami-Dade County, Broward County or Palm Beach County, Florida without Mr.
Jablansky's consent and as a result Mr. Jablansky resigns as an employee of the
Company, (i) Mr. Jablansky would receive a severance amount equal to his then
current annual salary until the later of 12 months after such termination,
non-renewal or resignation or 24 months after the date of the change in control,
with such severance amount being payable on the basis of regularly occurring
payroll payments as if Mr. Jablansky were still employed by the Company, and
(ii) all options granted by the Company to Mr. Jablansky would automatically
vest. The Jablansky Agreement also contains covenants not to compete,
nonsolicitation and nondisclosure provisions.

The Separation Agreement

On March 24, 2006, the Company entered into a separation agreement and general
release (the "Separation Agreement") with Rick Gordon, who was the Company's
Senior Vice President of Sales Asia and Europe and an executive officer of the
Company until February 28, 2006, the effective date of his termination of
employment with the Company. The Separation Agreement provides, among other
things, for severance payments equal to his base salary through February 29,
2008 ($216,300 for the period March 1, 2006 to February 28, 2007 and $227,115
for the period from March 1, 2007 to February 29, 2008) and the cash bonus, if
any is earned, for the calendar years 2006 and 2007 that Mr. Gordon would have
received under his employment agreement with the Company if he had continued as
an employee of the Company. In addition, Mr. Gordon (i) will be entitled to
participate in the medical insurance program offered by the Company from time to
time to all employees through February 29, 2008, subject to the terms set forth
in the Separation Agreement, (ii) will continue to have the use of a
company-leased vehicle through May 6, 2008, the end of the lease term, (iii) had
the right to exercise his outstanding stock options that were vested as of
February 28, 2006 until May 29, 2006, and (iv) received $23,000 in lieu of all
amounts due with respect to any deferred compensation plan. Furthermore, in the
event that Mr. Gordon complies with all of the covenants not to compete and
related restrictions set forth in his employment agreement with the Company, all
of which covenants and restrictions survive the termination of his employment
with the Company, the Company will pay an additional $25,000 in severance. The
payments and benefits to be provided to Mr. Gordon under the Separation
Agreement are in full satisfaction of the substantially similar severance
obligations the Company had under Mr. Gordon's employment agreement with the
Company.

It is intended that the votes will be cast pursuant to the accompanying proxy
for the nominees named below, unless otherwise directed. The Board has no reason

voted for the election of substitute nominees designated by the Nominating
Committee of the Board.

Paul Goldberg has been a member of the Board since 1978 and Robin L. Crandell
has been a member of the Board since 1999. The names of the nominees and the

broker or nominee non-votes are not counted in determining the number of Shares
voted for or against any nominee for director.

The Board recommends a vote in favor of the nominees for election to the Board.

ITEM 2.  RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF REGISTERED INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTING
         FIRM

It is intended that the votes will be cast pursuant to the accompanying proxy
for the ratification of Lazar Levine & Felix LLP as the Company's registered
independent public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2006,
unless otherwise directed.

The firm of Lazar Levine & Felix LLP certified the accounts of the Company for
the fiscal years ended December 31, 1988 and thereafter. For a discussion of the
fees paid to Lazar Levine & Felix LLP for services rendered during the year

"AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT." No member of such firm or any associate thereof has
any financial interest in the Company or its subsidiaries. A member of such firm
is not expected to be present at the Meeting.

Shareholder approval of the Company's registered independent public accounting
firm is not required under Delaware law. The Board is submitting the selection
of Lazar Levine & Felix LLP by the Audit Committee of the Company to its
shareholders for ratification in order to determine whether the shareholders
generally approve of the Company's registered independent public accounting
firm. If the selection of Lazar Levine & Felix LLP is not approved by the
shareholders, the Audit Committee will reconsider its selection.

The affirmative vote of a majority of the Shares represented in person or by
proxy at the Meeting which cast a vote on this proposal is required to approve
this proposal. Abstentions (withheld authority) and broker or nominee non-votes
are not counted in determining the number of Shares voted for or against this
proposal.

The Board recommends a vote in favor of this proposal.
