Annual  Meeting  of  Stockholders  to be held at the  Corporate  offices  of the
Company at 200 Lake Street,  Suite 102,  Peabody,  Massachusetts on December 19,
2002 at 2:00 PM (Boston  time),  and at any  adjournment  of that  meeting  (the
"Annual Meeting").  Each proxy will be voted in accordance with the instructions
specified,  and if no instruction is specified, the proxy will be voted in favor
of the proposals set forth in the Notice of Annual  Meeting.  A stockholder  may
revoke  any proxy at any time  before it is  exercised  by filing a later  dated
proxy or written notice of revocation  with Paula C. Wurts,  Assistant  Clerk of
the Company, or by voting in person at the Annual Meeting.

     The Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended June 30, 2002
is being mailed to stockholders together with this Proxy Statement.  The Company
will furnish any exhibit to the Company's  Annual Report on Form 10-KSB upon the
payment of a processing fee of ten cents per page plus mailing  costs.  The date

     The Board of  Directors  has fixed  November 8, 2002 as the record date for
the  determination  of stockholders  entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting (the
"Record  Date").  On that date  there  were  outstanding  and  entitled  to vote
13,349,544  shares of Class A Common Stock and 726,991  shares of Class B Common
Stock of the  Company  (the  shares  of Class A Common  Stock and Class B Common
Stock are referred to collectively herein as the "Shares").  Each share of Class
A Common Stock is entitled to one vote and each share of Class B Common Stock is
entitled to five votes.  The holders of the  Company's  Class A Common Stock are
entitled to elect two members of the Company's  Board of Directors (the "Class A
Directors")  and holders of the  Company's  Class B Common Stock are entitled to
elect all the remaining  members of the Company's Board of Directors (the "Class
B Directors").  Holders of Class A Common Stock will receive proxy cards,  which
will be different  from those  received by the holders of Class B Common  Stock.
The proxy cards  received by the holders of Class A Common  Stock will contain a
proposal  relating to the  election of the two members of the Board of Directors
to be elected by the  holders of the Class A Common  Stock,  in  addition to any
other proposals to be voted upon during the General Session.  Holders of Class B
Common Stock will receive proxy cards, which will contain a proposal relating to
the  election of the four members of the Board of Directors to be elected by the
holders of the Class B Common  Stock,  in addition to any other  proposals to be
voted upon during the General Session. Except for the election of directors, the
holders of class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock vote as one class.

     The Annual Meeting will comprise three related but separate sessions: (i) a
special  session of the holders of Class A Common  Stock,  during which  session
only  holders of Class A Common  Stock are  entitled to vote,  for the  separate
election by such holders of two  directors,  and no other  business may properly
come before the meeting; (ii) a special session of the holders of Class B Common
Stock, during which session only holders of Class B Common Stock are entitled to
vote, for the separate election by such holders of four directors,  and no other
business may properly  come before the meeting;  and (iii) a general  session of
the  holders  of the Class A Common  Stock and the Class B Common  Stock for the

                                     - 3 -

approval and  ratification of an amendment to the 1993 Stock Purchase and Option
Plan to  increase  the number of shares of Class A Common  Stock  available  for
issuance under the plan from 1,750,000 shares to 2,000,000 shares,  for approval
and  ratification  of an amendment to the 1995 Employee  Stock  Purchase Plan to
increase  the number of shares of Class A Common  Stock  available  for issuance
under  the plan  from  250,000  shares  to  500,000  shares,  for  approval  and
ratification of an amendment to the 1995 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan
to increase the number of shares of Class A Common Stock  available for issuance
under the plan  from  250,000  shares to  350,000  shares,  ratification  of the
selection of independent  auditors and for the conduct of such other business as
may  properly  come  before the Annual  Meeting  (the  "General  Session").  The
presence in person or by proxy of holders of shares of Class A Common  Stock and
Class B Common Stock outstanding as of the Record Date which, combined, have the
right to cast a majority of the votes which may be cast with  respect to matters
arising during the General  Session will  constitute a quorum for the conduct of
business at the General  Session.  The presence in person or by proxy of holders
of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock outstanding as of the
Record  Date which have the right to cast a majority  of the votes  which may be
cast with respect to matters  arising during the Class A Session and the Class B
Session,  respectively,  will  constitute  a quorum for  purposes of the Class A
Session and the Class B Session, respectively.

     The affirmative vote of the holders of a plurality of the shares of each of
Class A Common  Stock and Class B Common  Stock  represented  at the  meeting is
required  for the  election of the Class A Directors  and the Class B Directors,
respectively.  Approval of each of the other  matters that is before the meeting
will  require  the  affirmative  vote of the holders of a majority of the Shares
represented  at the  meeting  and voting  thereon.  No votes may be taken at the
meeting,  other than a vote to adjourn,  unless the  appropriate  quorum (as set
forth in the preceding paragraph) has been constituted.  Shares voted to abstain
or to withhold as to a particular  matter,  or as to which a nominee  (such as a
broker  holding  shares in street  name for a  beneficial  owner)  has no voting
authority in respect of a particular  matter,  shall be deemed  represented  for
quorum purposes.  Such shares, however, shall not be deemed to be voting on such
matters,  and therefore  will not be the equivalent of negative votes as to such
matters.  Votes will be tabulated by the Company's transfer agent subject to the
supervision of persons designated by the Board of Directors as inspectors.

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS

     Directors  who are  employees of the company  receive no  compensation  for
services as members of the Board. Directors who are not employees of the company
receive  $5,000  stipend per year and $1,250 for each Board meeting they attend.
In  addition,  directors of the company are  entitled to receive  certain  stock
option grants under the company's  Non-Employee  Director Stock Option Plan (the
"Director Plan").

                                    AMENDMENT
                   TO THE 1993 STOCK PURCHASE AND OPTION PLAN

     On  September  30, 2002,  the Board of Directors of the Company  adopted an
amendment  to the 1993 Stock  Purchase  and Option  Plan (the  "Stock  Plan") to
increase  the maximum  number of shares of Common Stock  available  for issuance
under the plan from 1,750,000 to 2,000,000  shares.  As of November 18, 2002 the
company had 316,250 options  available for issue under this plan. The purpose of
the increase is to permit the  continuing  grant of stock  options to employees,
officers,  directors and  consultants  which the Board of Directors  believes is
necessary to continue to attract and retain such persons,  particularly  in view
of the fact that the Company's  business is dependent upon its human  resources.



                                     - 16 -

The  executive  officers  and  directors  of the Company are eligible to receive
options and  restricted  stock under the Stock Plan and will  therefore  benefit
from such approval.  The Company plans to register the  additional  shares to be
issued  under the stock  plan on form S-8 to be filed by the  Company  under the
Securities Act of 1933.


                  THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR
            THE AMENDMENT TO THE 1993 STOCK PURCHASE AND OPTION PLAN


                  Description of the Company's 1993 Stock Plan

     General.  The  Company's  Stock  Plan,  originally  adopted by the Board of
Directors in 1993 and approved by  stockholders  in 1993, was amended on several
occasions and as amended currently authorizes the grant of options to purchase a
maximum of 1,750,000  shares of Class A Common Stock,  subject to adjustment for
stock splits and similar capital changes.

     The Board of Directors  administers  the Stock Plan.  Under the Stock Plan,
the Board of Directors has the authority to select the  recipients of options or
restricted  stock and  determine  the terms of the options or  restricted  stock
granted,  including: (i) the number of shares; (ii) option exercise terms; (iii)
the exercise or purchase  price (which in the case of an incentive  stock option
cannot be less  than the fair  market  value of the Class A Common  Stock on the
date of grant);  (iv) the type and  duration of transfer or other  restrictions;
and (v) the time and form of payment for  restricted  stock and upon exercise of
options. Generally, an option is not transferable by the option holder except by
will or by the laws of descent and distribution.  Also, generally,  no incentive
stock  option  may be  exercised  more  than 60 days  following  termination  of
employment.  In the  event  that  termination  is due to  death  or  disability,
however,  the  option is  exercisable  for a period of one year  following  such
termination.  Options  granted to date  generally  become  exercisable  in equal
installments  over  a  three-year   period  on  the  first,   second  and  third
anniversaries of the grant date and expire on the fifth anniversary of the grant
date; however,  95,000 of the options issued in January, 2000 were issued with a
ten year term,  immediate  vesting as to 50% and 100% vesting at five years. All
of these  options  were issued as follows:  16,666 to Robert  Boswell,  5,000 to
Michael  Cornelison,  50,000 to Bruce  Shear and  23,334 to Paula  Wurts.  These
options  originally  had an exercise  price of $l.00 and as repriced in February
2001 have an  exercise  price of $.25 per share  which was higher  than the then
fair market value of the stock.

     Employee Stock Purchase and Option Plan Federal Income Tax Information. Set
forth below is a general  summary of the federal income tax  consequences to the
Company and to  recipients  who receive  options or  restricted  stock under the
Stock Plan.  The following  summary is not intended to be  exhaustive,  does not
address  certain  special  federal tax  provisions,  and does not address state,
municipal or foreign tax laws.

     Tax Treatment of Non-Qualified Stock Options. Under Section 83 of the Code,
optionees realize no taxable income when a non-qualified stock option ("NSO") is
granted.  Instead, the difference between the fair market value of the stock and
the option price paid is taxed as ordinary  compensation income, on or after the
date on which the option is exercised.  The  difference is measured and taxed as
of the  date  of  exercise  if the  stock  is not  subject  at  that  time  to a
"substantial  risk of  forfeiture," as defined in Section 83. To the extent that
the stock is subject to a  substantial  risk of  forfeiture,  the  difference is
measured  as of the date or dates on which the risk  terminates.  The Stock Plan
permits the Compensation Committee to impose repurchase rights on stock acquired
upon  exercise of options  that would  constitute  such a  "substantial  risk of


                                     - 17 -

forfeiture." If such repurchase rights are imposed, the optionee would recognize
taxable income and incur a tax liability,  and the optionee's holding period for
tax purposes would commence,  in the year or years that the substantial  risk of
forfeiture terminates with respect to the stock.

     Alternatively,  an optionee  holding an NSO may elect,  within  thirty days
after the option is exercised,  in accordance with Section 83(b), to be taxed on
the  difference  between the option  exercise price and the fair market value of
the stock on the date of exercise even though the stock acquired is subject to a
substantial risk of forfeiture. If the optionee makes this election,  subsequent
changes in the value of the Common Stock at the time the  forfeiture  provisions
lapse will not result in ordinary compensation income to the optionee.

     The  Company  receives  no tax  deduction  on the  grant of an NSO,  but is
entitled to a tax deduction  when the optionee  recognizes  taxable income on or
after exercise of the option, in the same amount as the income recognized by the
optionee.

     Tax Treatment of Incentive Stock Options. Under Section 422 of the Code, an
optionee  incurs no federal income tax liability on either the grant or exercise
of an incentive  stock option  ("ISO").  Provided  that the stock is held for at
least one year after the date of  exercise  of the option and at least two years
after its date of grant,  any gain realized on the subsequent sale of stock will
be taxed as long-term or short-term capital gain depending on the holding period
since the date of exercise. If the stock is disposed of within a shorter period,
the optionee will be taxed,  with respect to the gain realized,  as if he or she
had  then  received  ordinary  compensation  income  in an  amount  equal to the
difference between the fair market value of the stock on the date of exercise of
the  option  and its fair  market  value on the date on  which  the  option  was
granted.  The  balance  of the gain  realized  will be taxed  as  capital  gain,
long-term  or  short-term  depending  on the  holding  period  since the date of
exercise.

     The Company  receives no tax  deduction on the grant or exercise of an ISO,
but  is  entitled  to a  tax  deduction  if  the  optionee  recognizes  ordinary
compensation  income on account of a premature  disposition  of ISO stock in the
same amount and at the same time as the optionee's recognition of income.

     Tax Treatment of Purchases of Restricted  Stock.  An employee or consultant
who receives a grant of restricted  stock  generally will not recognize  taxable
income  at the  time  such  stock  is  received,  but  will  recognize  ordinary
compensation  income when the transfer and forfeiture  restrictions  lapse in an
amount equal to the excess of the aggregate  fair market  value,  as of the date
the  restrictions  lapse,  over the  amount,  if any,  paid by the  employee  or
consultant for the restricted  stock.  Alternatively,  an employee or consultant
receiving  restricted  stock may elect,  in accordance with Section 83(b) of the
Code,  to be taxed on the  excess  of the fair  market  value of the  shares  of
restricted  stock at the time of grant  over  the  amount,  if any,  paid by the
employee or consultant, notwithstanding the transfer and forfeiture restrictions
on the stock. All such taxable amounts are deductible by the Company at the time
and in the amount of the ordinary compensation income recognized by the employee
or consultant.  The full amount of dividends or other  distributions of property
made with  respect to  restricted  stock prior to the lapse of the  transfer and
forfeiture  restrictions  will constitute  ordinary  compensation  income to the
employee or  consultant  and the Company  will be entitled to a deduction at the
same time and in the same amount.

          AMENDMENT TO THE COMPANY 'S 1995 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

     On  September  30, 2002,  the Board of Directors of the Company  adopted an
amendment to the 1995 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "Stock  Purchase Plan ")


                                     - 18 -

to increase the number of shares of Class A Common Stock  available for issuance
under the plan from  250,000 to 500,000  shares.  As of  November  18,  2002 the
company has 137,815 shares  available  under the plan,  without giving effect to
the shares that may be issued  under the  current  offering  ending  January 31,
2003,  which could  aggregate  approximately  26,000 shares.  The purpose of the
increase  is to  provide  the  employees  of  the  Company  with  the  continued
opportunity to participate in the Company's growth through the purchase of Class
A Common Stock at a discount  from market value.  The executive  officers of the
Company,  other than those who own 5% or more of the stock of the  Company,  are
eligible to participate in this plan and,  accordingly,  could benefit from such
approval.


                  THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR
             THE AMENDMENT TO THE 1995 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

Description of the Company's 1995 Employee Stock Purchase Plan

     General.  The  Company's 1995  Employee  Stock  Purchase  Plan (the "Stock
Purchase  Plan"),  originally  adopted  by the Board of  Directors  in 1995 and
approved by the  stockholders  in 1995 was amended on several  occasions  and as
amended  currently  authorizes an aggregate of 250,000  shares of Class A Common
Stock for issuance under the plan. The Board of Directors  administers the Stock
Purchase Plan.

     All employees of the Company whose customary  employment is in excess of 20
hours per week and more than five  months per year,  other than those  employees
who own 5% or more of the stock of the Company,  are eligible to  participate in
the Stock  Purchase Plan. The Stock Purchase Plan is implemented by offerings of
such  duration as the Board of Directors  determines,  provided that no offering
period may be longer than 27 months.  An eligible  employee  participating in an
offering is able to purchase  Common Stock at a price equal to the lesser of (i)
85% of its fair  market  value on the date the right was  granted or (ii) 85% of
its fair market value on the date the right was  exercised.  Payment for Class A
Common Stock purchased  under the plan is through  regular payroll  deduction or
lump sum cash payment,  or both,  as  determined  by the Board of Directors.  In
offering  periods  that began on February 1, 1996 through  January 31, 2002,  an
aggregate of 112,185 shares have been issued under the plan.  Currently there is
an  offering  period in place  which  began on  February 1, 2002 and will end on
January 31,  2003.  There are  fifteen  employees  participating  in the current
offering under this plan.

     Employee  Stock Purchase  Plan-Federal  Income Tax  Information.  The Stock
Purchase Plan is intended to qualify as an "employee  stock purchase plan within
" the meaning of Section 423 of the Code. Section 423 provides that the employee
pays no federal  income tax,  and the Company is  entitled to no  deduction,  at
either the  beginning  or end of an  offering  period.  The  federal  income tax
consequences  upon  disposition of the shares  acquired  pursuant to an offering
under the Stock  Purchase Plan depend on when such  disposition  occurs.  If the
disposition  occurs after the expiration of both (i) two years from the offering
commencement  date and (ii) one year from the purchase date, and the fair market
value of the stock on the date of  disposition is higher than the price paid for
the stock, the employee will recognize  compensation  taxable as ordinary income
equal to the lesser of (1) the excess of the fair  market  value of the stock on
the offering  commencement date over the option price; and (2) the excess of the
fair market  value of the stock at the time of  disposition  over the price paid
for it. If the  disposition  occurs before the expiration of either of the above
two dates,  the employee  will  recognize the excess of the fair market value of
the stock on the date of the  purchase  over the  option  price as  compensation
taxable  as  ordinary  income  even  though  there  may have been no gain on the
disposition  of the stock.  To the extent of  reported  ordinary  income in such


                                     - 19 -

case,  the Company will be allowed a tax deduction in an equal amount.  Any gain
recognized in excess of the amount  reported as ordinary income will be reported
as  long-term  or  short-term  capital  gain,  depending  on how long  after the
purchase date the disposition occurs.

                        AMENDMENT TO THE COMPANY 'S 1995
                     NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR STOCK OPTION PLAN

     On  September  30, 2002,  the Board of Directors of the Company  adopted an
amendment to the 1995  Non-Employee  Director  Stock Option Plan (the  "Director
Plan ") to increase the number of shares of Common Stock  available from 250,000
to 350,000 shares.  At this time the company has 184,500  options  available for
issue under this plan.  The purpose of the  increase is to obtain and retain the
services of qualified  persons who are not  employees of the Company to serve as
members of its Board of  Directors.  Non-employee  directors  of the Company are
eligible to receive  options under the Director Plan and will therefore  benefit
from such approval.


                THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR THE
                       AMENDMENT TO THE 1995 NON-EMPLOYEE
                           DIRECTOR STOCK OPTION PLAN

     General.  The Company's 1995 Non-Employee  Director Plan originally adopted
by the Board of Directors  on October 18, 1995 and approved by the  Stockholders
on December 15, 1995 was amended on several  occasions and as amended  currently
authorizes the grant of options to purchase a maximum of 250,000 shares of Class
A Common  Stock,  subject to  adjustment  for stock  splits and similar  capital
changes.

     The Board of Directors or a committee of the Board administers the Director
Plan.  Under the Director Plan,  each director of the Company who was a director
at the time of adoption of the Director Plan and who was not a current or former
employee  of the  Company  received  an option to purchase a number of shares of
Class A Common  Stock  equal to 500  multiplied  by the years of service of such
director  as of the date of the grant.  At each  annual  meeting of the Board of
Directors  of the  Company  following  the initial  grant  described  above,  or
following their election as a director,  each  non-employee  director is granted
under  the  Director  Plan an option to  purchase  10,000  shares of the Class A
Common Stock of the Company.  The option exercise price is the fair market value
of the shares of the  Company's  Class A Common  Stock on the date of the grant.
The  options  are  non-transferable  and  become  exercisable  as  follows:  25%
immediately and 25% on each of the first,  second and third anniversaries of the
grant date. If an optionee ceases to be a member of the Board of Directors for a
reason other than death or permanent disability,  the unexercised portion of the
options,  to the extent  unvested,  immediately  terminate,  and the unexercised
portion  of the  options  which  have  vested  lapse 180 days after the date the
optionee  ceases  to  serve on the  Board.  In the  event of death or  permanent
disability,  all  unexercised  options vest and the optionee or his or her legal
representative  has the right to exercise the option for a period of 180 days or
until the expiration of the option, if sooner.

     On January 23, 1996 a total of 5,500 options were issued under the Director
Plan at an exercise price of $6.63 per share.  On February 18, 1997, the company
issued  options  to  purchase  6,000  shares of Class A Common  Stock  under the
Director Plan at an exercise price of $3.50 per share.  On January 22, 1998, the
company  issued  options to purchase  6,000 shares of Class A Common Stock under
the Director  Plan at an exercise  price of $2.06.  On February  23,  1999,  the
company  issued  options to purchase  6,000 shares of Class A Common Stock under
the Director  Plan at an exercise  price of $1.03.  On December  28,  1999,  the
company  issued  options to purchase 6,000 shares of class A common stock under



                                     - 20 -

the Director Plan at an exercise  price of $.81. On January 11, 2001 the company
issued  options  to  purchase  6,000  shares of class A common  stock  under the
Director  Plan at an exercise  price of $.22.  On December  19, 2001 the company
issued  options to  purchase  30,000  shares of class A common  stock  under the
Director  Plan at an exercise  price of $.35.  As of June 30, 2002,  none of the
options issued had been exercised.

     Non-Employee  Stock Option Plan Federal Income Tax  Information.  Set forth
below is a general summary of the federal income tax consequences to the Company
and to recipients  who receive  options or  restricted  stock under the Director
Plan. The following  summary is not intended to be exhaustive,  does not address
certain special federal tax provisions, and does not address state, municipal or
foreign tax laws.

     Under Section 83 of the Code,  optionees  realize no taxable  income when a
non-qualified stock option ("NSO") is granted.  Instead,  the difference between
the fair  market  value  of the  stock  and the  option  price  paid is taxed as
ordinary  compensation  income,  on or after  the date on which  the  option  is
exercised.  The  difference  is measured and taxed as of the date of exercise if
the stock is not subject at that time to a "substantial risk of forfeiture, " as
defined in Section 83. To the extent that the stock is subject to a  substantial
risk of forfeiture,  the difference is measured as of the date or dates on which
the risk  terminates.  The Director Plan permits the  Compensation  Committee to
impose  repurchase  rights on stock acquired upon exercise of options that would
constitute such a "substantial  risk of  forfeiture." If such repurchase  rights
are  imposed,  the  optionee  would  recognize  taxable  income  and incur a tax
liability, and the optionee's holding period for tax purposes would commence, in
the year or years  that  the  substantial  risk of  forfeiture  terminates  with
respect to the stock.

     Alternatively,  an optionee  holding an NSO may elect,  within  thirty days
after the option is exercised,  in accordance with Section 83(b), to be taxed on
the  difference  between the option  exercise price and the fair market value of
the stock on the date of exercise even though the stock acquired is subject to a
substantial risk of forfeiture. If the optionee makes this election,  subsequent
changes in the value of the Common Stock at the time the  forfeiture  provisions
lapse will not result in ordinary compensation income-to the optionee.

     The  Company  receives  no tax  deduction  on the  grant of an NSO,  but is
entitled to a tax deduction  when the optionee  recognizes  taxable income on or
after exercise of the option, in the same amount as the income recognized by the
optionee.

                              APPROVAL OF AUDITORS

     The Board has selected the firm of BDO Seidman,  LLP, independent certified
public  accountants,  as auditors of the Company for the fiscal year ending June
30, 2003 and is submitting the selection to stockholders for approval. The Board
recommends a vote "FOR" this proposal. Unless the proxy indicates otherwise, the
shares  represented  by the  enclosed  proxy  will  be  voted  to  approve  such
selection.

     Although there is no legal  requirement  that this matter be submitted to a
vote of  stockholders,  the Board  believes  that the  selection of  independent
auditors is of sufficient  importance to seek stockholder  ratification.  In the
event BDO Seidman, LLP is not ratified by the affirmative vote of the holders of
shares  representing  a majority  of the votes cast at the Annual  Meeting,  the
Board may reconsider  its selection.  A  representative  of BDO Seidman,  LLP is
expected  to  attend  the  Annual  Meeting.  Such  representative  will  have an
opportunity  to make a statement and will be available to respond to appropriate
questions from stockholders.

Independent Auditor Fees

     Audit Fees. BDO Seidman, LLP billed the Company an aggregate of $98,884 for
professional  services  rendered by BDO Seidman in connection  with its audit of
the Company's  financial  statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002 and
its review of the Company's quarterly reports on Form 10-QSB during fiscal 2002.

       Financial Information Systems Design and Implementation. During fiscal
2002, BDO Seidman, LLP did not directly or indirectly, operate, or supervise the
operation of, the Company's information systems or manage the Company's local
area network. Nor did BDO Seidman design or implement a hardware or software
system that aggregates source data underlying the financial statements of the
Company or generates information that is significant to the Company's financial
statements taken as a whole.

     All Other Fees. BDO Seidman,  LLP billed the Company an additional  $20,500
for the preparation of State and Federal Income tax returns and $5,000 for other
professional  services  rendered  during  fiscal 2002 for services not otherwise
described  above.  All other fees relate to services  traditionally  provided by
auditors including work performed in connection with income tax audits and other
services, which are compatible with BDO Seidman's independence.

     The Company's Audit  Committee  considered  whether the non-audit  services
rendered by BDO Seidman during fiscal 2002, as described under the caption " All
Other Fees" above,  and determined  that such services were  compatible with BDO
Seidman's independence.


       THE BOARD RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR RATIFICATION OF THE ABOVE SELECTION


                COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(a) OF THE EXCHANGE ACT

     Based on a review of Forms 3 and 4 furnished to the company, all directors,
officers and  beneficial  owners of more than ten percent of any class of equity
securities of the Company  registered  pursuant to Section 12 of the  Securities
Exchange Act filed on a timely basis  reports  required by Section  16(a) of the
Exchange Act during the most recent fiscal year.


              CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Related Party Indebtedness

     For approximately  the last thirteen years,  Bruce A. Shear, a director and
the President and Chief Executive Officer of the company, and persons affiliated
and associated with him have made a series of unsecured loans to the company and
its  subsidiaries  to enable them to meet  ongoing  financial  commitments.  The
borrowings  generally  were entered into when the company did not have financing
available from outside sources and, in the opinion of the company,  were entered
into at market rates given the financial  condition of the company and the risks
of repayment at the time the loans were made.  As of June 30, 2002,  the company
owed an aggregate of $200,000 to related parties.

     During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002,  the company paid Mr. Shear and
affiliates  approximately  $381,600  in  principal  and accrued  interest  under
various unsecured notes to meet short-term working capital  requirements.  As of
June 30, 2002,  the company owed Bruce A. Shear  $100,000 on a promissory  note,
which is dated August 13, 1998,  bears  interest at the rate of 12% per year and
is  payable  on demand  and Tot Care,  Inc.,  an  affiliate  of Bruce A.  Shear,
$100,000  on  promissory  notes  dated May 28,  1998 and June 9, 1998 which bear
interest at the rate of 12% per year and are payable on demand.
