COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS

Each non-employee Board member receives an annual cash retainer of $7,500
and a fee of $1,000 for each Board meeting attended. Upon election or
appointment to the Board of Directors, each non-employee director is
automatically granted a non-qualified option to purchase 10,000 shares of the
Company's Common Stock at its fair market value on the date of grant. These
options have a term of ten years and become exercisable as to 2,500 shares on
the date of each Annual Meeting of Shareholders at

which the director is re-elected or is serving an unexpired term. Mr. Koonce
received 10,000 such options in April 1994 which have an exercise price of $5.00
per share. Mr. Morrell received 10,000 such options in March 1996 with an
exercise price of $2.50 per share. Beginning May 14, 1998, the Company
implemented a policy to grant a non-qualified stock option to purchase 5,000
shares of the Company's Common Stock at its fair market value on the date of
grant to each non-employee director on an annual basis. In May 1998 and
May 1999, Messrs. Morrell and Koonce each received 5,000 such options, which
have an exercise price of $9.13 and $3.75 per share, respectively. These options
have a term of ten years and become exercisable as to 1,000 shares on the date
of each Annual Meeting of Shareholders at which the director is re-elected or is
serving an unexpired term. The Company reimburses officers and directors for
their authorized expenses.

that Mr. Finley is entitled to an automobile of his selection, a life insurance
policy and certain other benefits that are generally available to salaried
employees of the Company. The agreement provides that Mr. Finley is entitled to
a payment in the amount of two times his base salary in effect upon a

or a sale of the majority of the Company's assets. The agreement also provides
that if a majority of the Company's stock is sold to a single purchaser or a
group of purchasers at a per share price equal to 130% of the average stock

price for the previous 180 days, the Company will pay Mr. Finley a premium bonus
equal to two years of base compensation in effect at the time of sale.

In September 1995, the Company entered into an employment agreement with
Peter D. Cleary which renewed automatically for a one year term in
September 1998 and will continue to automatically renew for additional one-year
terms unless terminated by either party. In accordance with an income-based
formula, Mr. Cleary is eligible to earn an annual bonus of up to 32.5% of his

discretionary bonus of up to 15% of his base salary.

In March 1994, the Company entered into a three-year employment agreement
with Lona M.B. Finley which automatically renews for additional one-year terms.
In accordance with an income-based formula, Ms. Finley is eligible to earn a
bonus of up to 55% of her base salary. The agreement provides that Ms. Finley is
entitled to a payment in the amount of two times her base salary then in effect
upon a termination of her employment by the Company, a change in control of the
Company or a sale of a majority of the Company's assets.

Each employment agreement is subject to earlier termination for cause or
upon disability or death. In the case of disability, the Company has agreed to
continue salary payments for a six-month term. Messrs. Finley and Cleary have
agreed not to compete with the Company following termination of employment for a
period of two years.

The Company has a 401(k) profit-sharing plan and an employee stock purchase
plan for its employees and may adopt additional bonus, pension, profit-sharing,
retirement, or similar plans in the future.

In the event of dissolution, liquidation, or a change in control of the

1999 STOCK OPTION GRANTS

The following table summarizes certain information concerning stock option
grants made in 1999 to the executive officers named in the summary compensation

option is exercised relative to the exercise price of the option. There is no
assurance that the amounts reflected in this table will be realized.

REPORT OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE

The Compensation Committee (the "Committee") of the Board of Directors is
responsible for establishing compensation policies for all executive officers of
the Company. The Committee establishes the total compensation for the executive
officers in light of these policies. The Committee is composed of two
non-employee directors and one employee director.

The following report describes the Company's executive compensation program
and discusses the factors considered by the Committee in determining the
compensation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and other executive
officers for its 1999 fiscal year.

COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY

The goals for the executive compensation program are to:

- Motivate executives to assist the Company in achieving superior levels of
financial and stock performance by closely linking executive compensation
to performance in those areas; and

- Attract, retain and motivate executives by providing compensation and
compensation opportunities that are comparable to those offered by other
companies in the financial services industry.

ELEMENTS OF THE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PROGRAM

The elements of the executive compensation program are designed to meet the
Company's compensation philosophy. Currently, the Executive Compensation Program
is comprised of annual cash compensation and longer-term stock compensation.

Annual cash compensation consists of base salary and performance bonuses.
For lower level employees, salaries are set to be competitive for the industry
or marketplace, as appropriate, and bonuses are designed to represent a
relatively small percentage of annual cash compensation. For higher-level
employees, base salaries are in the low to average range for the financial
services and gaming industries and potential bonuses constitute a high
percentage of annual cash compensation. The Company's executive compensation
bonus program has two components: (1) a bonus of up to a specified percentage of
base salary is based upon the Company's earnings performance for the year, and
(2) an additional bonus of up to 15% of base salary can be awarded at the
discretion of the Compensation Committee ("The Committee"). The executive
officers' compensation was established at the beginning of 1998 and ratified by
the Compensation Committee.

The structure and earnings goals for the executive performance bonus program
are reviewed and adjusted annually by the Committee. Discretionary bonus awards
for the executive officers are initially determined by the Chief Executive
Officer and are submitted to the Committee for discussion and

approval. An executive officer's discretionary bonus is based upon the officer's
duties and responsibilities, individual performance and future potential. Many
of these assessments are subjective in nature and are made annually on a
case-by-case basis.

The Company's 1993 Stock Option Plan as amended provides for the granting of
options ("Options") to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,350,000 shares of Common
Stock to certain key employees, officers, directors and consultants of the
Company. Options granted under the Stock Option Plan may be either Options that
qualify as "incentive stock options" within the meaning of Section 422 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986 ("Incentive Options"), or those that do not
qualify as "incentive stock options" ("Non-Statutory Options"). The Stock Option
Plan is administered by the Board of Directors and the Committee, which
determines the persons who are to receive Options, the terms and number of
shares subject to each Option and whether the Option is an Incentive Option or a
Non-Statutory Option.

The Company currently anticipates that new executive officers would be
granted options at the time of hiring, which options would typically vest over a
number of years. The Committee believes these grants are in line with external,
competitive opportunities and provide a stronger, more direct motivation to
executive officers to increase stockholder value. The Company awarded options to
purchase a total of 258,000 shares in 1999 and options to purchase 26,000 shares
during the period from January 1, 2000 through April 7, 2000, all of which vest
over a period of five years.

As of the Record Date, options to purchase 751,000 shares of Common Stock
were outstanding, with exercise prices ranging from $1.13 per share to $10.05
per share, to 60 employees, 315,000 of which are currently exercisable. In
addition, pursuant to the Stock Option Plan, newly elected non-employee
directors of the Company each receive an automatic grant of a Non-Statutory
Option to purchase 10,000 shares of Common Stock on the date they first become a
director. As of May 14, 1998, non-employee directors also receive an annual
grant of an option to purchase 5,000 shares of Common. No other options have
been granted or are expected to be granted to directors who are not also
executive officers or other employees. Future grants of options to executive
officers and other employees under the Stock Option Plan are not determinable.

CEO COMPENSATION

In evaluating the compensation of Mr. Finley, the Committee considered both
qualitative and quantitative aspects of the Company's performance. Mr. Finley
has served as the Company's Chief Executive Officer since its inception.
Mr. Finley's base compensation was established after considering comparable data
in the industry, as well as the ongoing reliance by the Company on the
substantial sales efforts of Mr. Finley. The Committee negotiated an employment
agreement in February 1998 for Mr. Finley, which is described in "Executive
Compensation--Employment Agreements" above.

During 1999 the Company did not meet certain performance objectives spelled
out in Mr. Finley's employment agreement, and therefore no bonuses were paid to
Mr. Finley for 1999.

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

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires
the Company's directors and executive officers, and persons who own more than
ten percent of a registered class of the Company's equity securities, to file
with the Securities and Exchange Commission initial reports of ownership and
reports of changes in ownership of common stock and other equity securities of
the Company. Officers, directors and beneficial owners of more than ten percent
of the outstanding shares of Common Stock are also required by SEC regulation to
furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

To the Company's knowledge, based solely on review of the copies of such

ten-percent owners were satisfied.
