the judgment of the persons designated as proxies. Any proxy on which no

proxy statement.

A proxy in the enclosed form may be revoked at any time, prior to it being voted
at the Annual Meeting, by sending a subsequently dated proxy or by giving
written notice to the Company, in each case to the attention of Anthony P.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS AND CHANGE IN CONTROL FEATURES

As of July 1, 1995, Lawrence Densen entered into an employment agreement
("Employment Agreement") which provided for him to serve as the Company's Vice
President for a term of five years. Effective March 1, 1997, Lawrence Densen
signed a modification agreement (the "1997 Modification Agreement"). The 1997
Modification Agreement of Lawrence Densen changed his position with the Company
to President. Pursuant to the 1997 Modification Agreement, the

Company may terminate his Employment Agreement as a result of physical or mental
disability, or failure or inability to perform required duties for a period of
six (6) months in any two-year period. At the end of each fiscal year during the
term of the Employment Agreement, it is automatically extended for one
additional year to be added at the end of the then current term of the
agreements, unless the Board of Directors determines not to extend the
Employment Agreements. Lawrence Densen may also terminate his Employment
Agreement upon 30 days written notice. He is also entitled to receive an annual
contractual bonus, which has been waived for the fiscal years, equal to 3 1/3%
of the Company's earnings before interest and taxes for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 1999 and each fiscal year thereafter during the term of the Employment
Agreement, and he is also entitled to .75% of the Company's revenues in excess
of $20.5 million which has also been waived through June 30, 2000.

The Employment Agreement entered into by Lawrence Densen includes provisions
that provide for his right to terminate his Employment Agreement and thereby
receive additional compensation, as provided below, in the event that he is not
elected or retained as President or as a director of the Company; the Company
acts to materially reduce his duties and responsibilities under the Employment
Agreement; the Company changes its geographic location; his base compensation is
reduced by 10% or more; any successor to the Company fails to assume the
Employment Agreement; any other material breach of the Employment Agreement is
not cured by the Company within 30 days; and a "Change of Control" occurs by
which a person, other than a person who is an officer and/or director of the
Company as of the effective date of the agreement, or a "group" as defined in
Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, becomes the beneficial
owner of 20% or more of the combined voting power of the then outstanding
securities of the Company or the composition of the board changes so that
officers of the Company no longer hold a majority of the seats.

In the event that Lawrence Densen terminates his position because of any of the
aforesaid reasons other than a "Change of Control", or if the Company terminates
his employment in any way that is a breach of the Employment Agreement by the
employer, he shall be entitled to receive, in addition to his salary
continuation, a cash payment equal to his total base salary plus projected
expenses and bonuses for the remainder of the term thereof, payable within 30
days of termination and all stock options, warrants and other stock appreciation
rights granted by the Company, with the exception of qualified incentive stock
option plans, to them shall become immediately exercisable at an exercise price
of $0.10 per share. In the event that he either owns or is entitled to receive
any unregistered securities of the Company, than the Company shall register such
securities. In the event that there is a "Change of Control", Lawrence Densen
shall be paid within 30 days thereof a one-time bonus equal to his total minimum
base salary for the next three years.

Arthur Wasserspring, Vice President of Finance and Richard Boyen, Vice President
of Manufacturing Operations each have employment agreements with the Company.
The agreements each terminate January 31, 2001, and automatically continues for
an additional year to year thereafter, unless canceled by either party, at least
a year in advance. Each agreement provides that the employee shall have the
right to terminate his employment within six months of the withdrawal from the
Company's board of directors of a majority of the board as constituted as of
February 1, 1997, other than by reason of a voluntary resignation or demise of
such directors and receive a

one-time bonus equal to one dollar less than three times the present value of
the base amount of the employee's salary, as determined in accordance with
Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended. Each agreement also
provides that the employee may terminate his agreement and receive his
compensation until the end of the agreement, and for the vesting of all options
and warrants, if the employee is not retained in his position as officer, his
duties are immediately reduced, the geographic location of where his duties are
performed are changed, any successor employer does not assume their agreements
or a material breach of the agreement by the employer.

COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(a) OF THE
SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Company's
executive officers and directors, and persons who beneficially own more than ten
percent of the Company's Common Stock, to file initial reports of ownership and
reports of changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Executive officers, directors and greater than ten percent beneficial owners are
required by SEC regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all Section
16(a) forms they file.

Based solely on a review of the copies of such forms furnished to the Company
and written representations from the Company's executive officers and directors,
the Company believes that during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999, all
Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to its executive officers,
directors and greater than ten percent beneficial owners were complied with.

STATEMENT PURSUANT TO SECTION 726(d) BUSINESS CORPORATION LAW

The Company has obtained from National Union Insurance Company a Directors and
Officers Liability and Company Reimbursement Policy for the period September 16,
1999, to September 16, 2000. The policy provides annual coverage of $5,000,000
per loss with an aggregate of $5,000,000 for all claims for directors and
officers liability. Coverage is in accordance with the terms of the policy and
is subject to various exceptions contained therein. The insurance is on a
claims-made basis. The premium paid for this insurance is $47,000. This
statement is delivered pursuant to Section 726(d) of the Business Corporation
Law of the State of New York.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE, INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

Anthony P. Towell, Senior Vice President of the Company served as a member of
the Compensation Committee during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999.

REPORT OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS ON EXECUTIVE
COMPENSATION

The Compensation Committee (the "Committee") approves compensation objectives
and policy for the Company's executive officers, including the individuals named
in the Summary Compensation Table.

The Committee is comprised of Messrs. Charles Holzberg and Martin Fleisher,
independent outside directors, and Anthony P. Towell. The Committee seeks to
provide rewards that are linked to Company and individual performance, and
ensure that compensation and benefits are at levels that enable the Company to
attract and retain the high-quality employees it needs.

The Compensation Committee believes that stock options and restricted stock play
an important role in attracting, retaining, and motivating executives. Stock
options also provide executives with a means of increasing Company stock
ownership, which is a key objective of the executive compensation program and
serves to align executives' interest with those of stockholders.

The Company has incurred losses during its three (3) previous years ended June
30, 1999, including discontinued operations. Accordingly, the Company's CEO, and
executive officers, where applicable, have waived their contractual bonuses
through June 30, 2000, although the Company did pay a special bonus to the
Companys CEO and CFO in connection with the disposition of its distribution
business. The Compensation Committee believes in future years that executive
remuneration should be more directly linked to the Company's results. The
committee intends to monitor the Company's activities and review compensation
during fiscal 2000 to ascertain whether or not the results of the Company,
considering all other factors such as costs, competition and otherwise, support
the compensation being paid.

and director of the Company, Charles Holzberg, director of the Company and the
wife of Alan E. Densen, a director, together own approximately 40% thereof.
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999, the Company paid Associates $74,675
in principal and interest on the mortgage, of which $47,115 constituted
interest. The first mortgage held by Associates, which was issued in 1992 and
upon which interest was being paid at the rate of 14%, was scheduled to come due
on July 1, 1997, in the amount of approximately $434,000. Associates and the
Company agreed to extend the mortgage for five years with interest at 12% per
annum or 3% over prime, whichever is greater. At the end of this five-year
period, the mortgage will come due in the amount of approximately $275,000.

The Company has extended until March 31, 2000, the exercise date of warrants to
acquire 41,618 shares at $5.623 held by each Lawrence Densen, Alan E. Densen and
Anthony P. Towell.

Considering the circumstances of each transaction, the Company believes that all
transactions heretofore with officers/directors and shareholders of the Company
and their affiliates have been made, and in the future will be made, on terms no
less favorable to the Company than those available from unaffiliated parties and
will be approved by a majority of the disinterested directors.

PROPOSAL TO RATIFY APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

Effective June 4, 1998, the Company's Board of Directors replaced Cornick,
Garber & Sandler, LLP as its independent public accountants with Arthur
Andersen, LLP. On June 4, 1998, the Company filed a Form 8-K with the Securities
and Exchange Commission to notify the Commission of the change of the Company's
independent public accountants. This Form 8-K is incorporated herein by
reference. The Board of Directors of the Company appointed and proposed
ratification of the firm of Arthur Andersen, LLP as the Company's independent
auditors for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2000. Arthur Andersen, LLP has
advised the Company that it has no financial interest of any kind in the Company
and has had no connection with the Company at any time in the past except for
the professional relationship between auditor and client.

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock
represented at the Annual Meeting will be required for approval of the auditors.
In accordance with New York State law, abstentions are not counted in
determining the votes cast in connection with the selection of auditors. If such
approval is not obtained, selection of independent auditors will be reconsidered
by the Board of Directors.

Representatives of Arthur Andersen, LLP are expected to be present at the Annual
Meeting with the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so, and
shall be available to respond to appropriate questions.

The Board of Directors unanimously recommends a vote FOR ratification of the
appointment of Arthur Andersen, LLP as its independent auditors.
