SPECIAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
June 18, 1999

INTRODUCTION

The enclosed form of proxy is being solicited on behalf of the
Board of Directors of MedPlus, Inc. (also referred to as "MedPlus"
or the "Company") for the Special Meeting of Shareholders, in lieu
of an Annual Meeting, to be held on June 18, 1999. Each of the
6,055,269 shares of Common Stock, without par value, outstanding
on April 26, 1999, the record date of the meeting, is entitled to
one vote on all matters coming before the meeting. Only
shareholders of record of the Company at the close of business on
April 26, 1999 will be entitled to vote at the meeting either in
person or by proxy. This Proxy Statement is being mailed to
shareholders on or about May 15, 1999.

The shares represented by all properly executed proxies that are
sent to the Company will be voted as designated and each not
designated will be voted affirmatively. Unless otherwise provided
in writing by a shareholder and subject to applicable law, each
person granting a proxy may revoke it by giving notice to the
Company's Secretary in writing or in open meeting at any time
before it is voted. Proxies will be solicited principally by
mail, but may also be solicited by directors, officers and other
regular employees of the Company who will receive no compensation
therefor in addition to their regular salaries. Brokers and
others who hold stock in trust will be asked to send proxy
materials to the beneficial owners of the stock, and the Company
will reimburse them for their expenses. The expense of soliciting
proxies will be borne by the Company. The Annual Report of the
Company for the fiscal year ended January 31, 1999 ("fiscal 1999")
is enclosed with this Proxy Statement (see "Incorporation of
Certain Documents by Reference")

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Six directors are to be elected to hold office until the 2000
Annual Meeting of Shareholders. It is the intention of the
individuals named in the proxy to vote for the election of only
the six nominees named. Only the maximum of six directors may be
elected. The Company is not currently aware of any potential
candidates who may be nominated at or prior to the meeting, and in
no event will the proxies solicited hereby be voted for other than
the six nominees named.

The nominees, Richard A. Mahoney, Robert E. Kenny III, Paul J.
Stein, Jay Hilnbrand, Philip S. Present II and Martin A. Neads are
currently serving as members of the Board of Directors. While
management has no reason to believe that any of the nominees will,
prior to the date of the meeting, refuse or be unable to accept
the nominations, should any nominee so refuse or become unable to
accept, the proxies will be voted for the election of such
substitute nominee, if any, as may be recommended by the Board of
Directors. Nominees receiving the six highest totals of votes cast
in the election will be elected as directors. Proxies in the form
solicited hereby that are returned to the Company will be voted in
favor of the six nominees specified above unless otherwise
instructed by the shareholders. Abstentions and shares not voted
by brokers and other entities holding shares on behalf of
beneficial owners will not be counted and will have no effect on
the outcome of the election.

Directors are elected annually and serve for one year terms.
Information with respect to each of the six nominees is as
follows:

PROPOSALS TO AMEND THE COMPANY'S ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION TO
CREATE A CLASS OF SERIES A CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK;
APPROVE THE ISSUANCE OF SHARES OF SUCH PREFERRED STOCK; AND
APPROVE THE SUBSEQUENT ISSUANCE OF COMMON SHARES UPON
CONVERSION THEREOF

Background
__________

On April 30, 1999, the Company entered into an Agreement (the
"Agreement") with three investment firms (the "Investors") to
obtain $6,100,000 in debt and equity financing. The Agreement was
filed with the SEC as an exhibit to the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-KSB for fiscal 1999 (see "Incorporation of Certain
Documents by Reference"). The terms of the Agreement provide for
financing of $4,100,000 in Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
(the "Preferred Stock") and $2,000,000 in subordinated debentures
(the "Notes"). The proceeds of the financing will be utilized to
fund working capital requirements and continue the market
penetration of certain of the Company's core products. Certain
terms of the agreement, including the authorization of the
Preferred Stock, are subject to shareholder approval.

On April 30, 1999, the Company issued the Notes, due 2004,
with a coupon rate of 10% in the first year and 12% thereafter.
The principal portion of the Notes is payable as follows: $666,666
in April 2002, $666,667 in April 2003 and $666,667 in April 2004;
however, the Company may redeem the Notes at any time during their
term without penalty. The Notes provide that if the Preferred
Stock is authorized and certain additional terms related to the
Agreement are approved by the Company's shareholders prior to July
30, 1999, then the Company will issue to the holders of the Notes
five-year warrants to purchase 281,137 shares of Preferred Stock
at an exercise price not to exceed $1.90. This warrant price is
subject to adjustment if the Company does not meet specified
requirements relating to the appreciation of its stock price at
the end of a defined two-year period. However, the Notes also
provide that if the Preferred Stock is not authorized and certain
additional terms related to the Agreement are not approved by the
Company's shareholders prior to July 30, 1999, then (a) the entire
amount of principal and interest which remains unpaid shall become
due and payable as of November 28, 1999 and (b) the Company shall
immediately issue to the holders of the Notes, for no additional
consideration, shares of the Company's Common Stock as described
in the Agreement and warrants to purchase 281,137 shares of Common
Stock.

In addition, subject to shareholder approval on or before
July 30, 1999, the Company has agreed to issue to the Investors
2,371,815 shares of Preferred Stock at a purchase price of $1.729
per share. The Preferred Stock will pay dividends quarterly at a
rate of 4% per share for the first four years, increasing to 10%
thereafter, and accruing on a cumulative basis. Shares of
Preferred Stock include (a) voting rights, (b) receive
preferential treatment upon liquidation of the Company and (c)
convert into Common Shares upon certain events. The designation,
rights, preferences and other terms and conditions relating to the
Preferred Stock are described below and are set forth in greater
detail in Exhibit A to this Proxy Statement and in the Agreement
with the Investors that has been filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission as an exhibit to the Company's Annual Report
on Form 10-KSB relating to fiscal 1999 (see "Incorporation of
Certain Documents by Reference"). Also, subject to shareholder
approval on or before July 30, 1999, the Company has agreed to
issue to the Investors ten-year warrants for the purchase (subject
to adjustment as provided therein) of 759,562 shares of Preferred
Stock. These warrants cannot be exercised unless the value of the
Company's stock price as traded on the NASDAQ over a twenty-day
period exceeds $7.28.

Because the conversion price can vary depending on certain
circumstances in existence at the time of conversion, the exact
number of shares of Common Stock to be issued cannot be exactly
determined in advance of a conversion election. Based on the
terms of the Agreement and if the Company meets all the conversion
criteria described therein, the maximum number of shares of Common
Stock that may be issued upon conversion of all Preferred Stock
which may be issued to the Investors is 3.5 million shares, or
when added to the total outstanding Common Stock as of April 26,
1999, approximately 37% of the total outstanding Common Stock.

Amendment to Articles of Incorporation
______________________________________

The Board of Directors believes that a class of preferred
stock should be available for issuance by the Board from time to
time for proper corporate purposes, including those described
above. As of April 26, 1999, no preferred stock was authorized by
the Company. Thus, the Board has approved, and recommends the
shareholders adopt, an amendment to the Company's Articles of
Incorporation which authorizes a new class of 5,000,000 shares of
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.

The newly authorized shares of Preferred Stock will be
issuable from time to time by action of the Board of Directors for
any proper corporate purpose, without shareholder approval unless
required by applicable law or the rules of The Nasdaq Stock
Market. These purposes could include financings (as described
above), payment of stock dividends and corporate acquisitions.
The shares could also be issued in a private placement transaction
to a third party favored by the Board in the event of a takeover
attempt directed at the Company, which could give the favored
party an advantage over a competing party in a contest to acquire
control of the Company.

At the present time, the Company has no immediate plans to
issue the Preferred Stock except as described above (see
"Background") and in the ordinary course of business. If the
issuance of Preferred Stock is approved by the shareholders in
accordance with The Nasdaq Stock Market rules and the Ohio Control
Share Acquisition Act, as discussed below, a portion of the newly
authorized shares of Preferred Stock, as well as a portion of the
Common Stock of the Company into which such Preferred Shares could
be converted, will be reserved for issuance.

At the Special Meeting, the following resolution will be
introduced:

RESOLVED, that Article Fourth of the Articles of
Incorporation of the Company be amended to read in its entirety as
described on Exhibit A to this Proxy Statement.

Adoption of the above resolution requires the affirmative
vote of the holders of at least a majority of the Company's
outstanding shares of common stock. Proxies received in response
to this solicitation will be voted in favor of the proposal unless
the shareholder otherwise instructs. Abstentions and shares not
voted by brokers and other entities holding shares on behalf of
beneficial owners will have the same effect as votes cast against
the resolution. The Board of Directors recommends the adoption of
the resolution.

The Nasdaq Stock Market
_______________________

The Company's Common Stock is traded on The Nasdaq National
Market. It is now the policy of The Nasdaq Stock Market to
require shareholder approval of the issuance, other than in a
public offering, of securities convertible into Common Stock if
the Common Stock underlying such securities would have, upon
issuance, voting power equal to or in excess of 20% of the
Company's total voting power outstanding before such issuance. As
noted above, under certain circumstances it is possible that the
Preferred Stock could be convertible into Common Stock exceeding
such 20% threshold. For this reason, once a class of Preferred
Stock has been authorized by the Company's shareholders by
amending the Articles of Incorporation (as described above), the
issuance of the Preferred Stock to the Investors must also be
approved by the Company's shareholders.

At the Special Meeting, the following resolution will be
introduced:

RESOLVED, that, for purposes of complying with the applicable
requirements of The Nasdaq Stock Market, the shareholders of
MedPlus, Inc. do hereby approve the Company's issuance of up to
5,000,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock as
described in the Proxy Statement relating to this Special Meeting
of Shareholders.

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting
power of the Company's outstanding voting stock present in person
or by proxy at the Special Meeting is required to adopt the
resolution. Proxies in the form solicited hereby that are
returned to the Company will be voted in favor of the resolution
unless otherwise instructed by the shareholders. Abstentions will
have the same effect as votes cast against the resolution,
provided such shares are properly present at the meeting in person
or by proxy. Shares not voted by brokers and other entities
holding shares on behalf of beneficial owners will have no effect
on the outcome of the proposal. The Board of Directors recommends
the adoption of the resolution.

The Ohio Control Share Acquisition Act
______________________________________

The Company is an issuing public corporation incorporated in Ohio,
and as such is subject to the laws contained in the Ohio Revised
Code (the "Code"). Section 1701.831 of the Code provides that any
"control share acquisition" of an issuing public corporation may
be made only with the prior authorization of the shareholders of
such corporation. For purposes of the Code, a "control share
acquisition" means the acquisition by any person of shares of an
issuing public corporation that would entitle such person,
immediately after such acquisition, to direct the exercise of the
voting power of the corporation in the election of directors
within any of the following ranges: (a) one-fifth or more but less
than one-third of such voting power; (b) one-third or more but
less than a majority of such voting power; or (c) a majority or
more of such voting power. The issuance of the Preferred Stock
and, subsequent thereto, the conversion of such Preferred Stock
into the Common Stock of the Company, could provide the Investors
with greater than or equal to one-third of the voting power in the
election of the Company's directors. As such, acquisition of such
shares by the Investors must be authorized by the Company's
shareholders in accordance with the Code. For this reason, once a
class of Preferred Stock has been authorized by the Company's
shareholders by amending the Articles of Incorporation (as
described above), the issuance of the Preferred Stock to the
Investors must also be approved by the Company's shareholders.

At the Special Meeting, the following resolution will be
introduced:

RESOLVED, that, for purposes of complying with the Ohio Control
Share Acquisition Act, the shareholders of MedPlus, Inc. do hereby
approve the Company's issuance of up to 5,000,000 shares of Series
A Convertible Preferred Stock as described in the Proxy Statement
relating to this Special Meeting of Shareholders.

Other Terms and Conditions of the Preferred Stock
_________________________________________________

The Preferred Stock is governed by numerous terms and conditions
in addition to those described above. Although certain of these
additional terms and conditions are described below, it should be
noted that such terms and conditions are described in much greater
detail in Exhibit A to this Proxy Statement and in the Agreement
with the Investors which has been filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission as an exhibit to the Company's Annual Report
on Form 10-KSB relating to fiscal 1999 (see "Incorporation of
Certain Documents by Reference"). The following description is
merely a brief summary of such documents and is qualified in its
entirety by reference to such documents.

Conversion Features. Subject to the terms and conditions of
Exhibit A hereto, the holder of any share or shares of Preferred
Stock shall have the right, at its option at any time, to convert
any such shares into the number of fully paid and nonassessable
shares of Common Stock that is obtained by (i) multiplying the
number of shares of Preferred Stock to be converted by the
original purchase price for such shares and (ii) dividing the
result by the original purchase price per share for such shares
or, in case an adjustment of such price has taken place, then by
the conversion price as last adjusted and in effect at the date
the share or shares of Preferred Stock are surrendered for
conversion.

Mandatory Conversion. If at any time the Company conducts a firm
commitment underwritten public offering of shares of Common Stock
in which (i) the aggregate price paid for such shares by the
public is at least $25,000,000 and (ii) the price paid by the
public for such shares is at least $5.00 per share (as adjusted),
then effective upon the closing of such public offering, all
outstanding shares of Preferred Stock will automatically convert
to shares of Common Stock as described in Exhibit A. In addition,
if at any time after the third anniversary of the date on which
the Preferred Stock is initially issued to the Investors the Fair
Market Value of one share of Common Stock exceeds 200% of the
original purchase price of the Preferred Stock, (as adjusted),
then all outstanding shares of Preferred will automatically
convert to shares of Common Stock as described in Exhibit A.

Optional Redemption. In the event of a Change of Control (as
defined in Exhibit A), the holders of a majority of the shares of
the Preferred Stock may require the Company to redeem such shares.
The Preferred Stock will be redeemed by paying for each share an
amount in cash equal to 110% of the original purchase price per
share plus an amount equal to certain dividends declared but
unpaid thereon.

Dividends. The holders of the Preferred Stock shall be entitled
to receive quarterly cash dividends at the rate per annum equal to
4% of the original purchase price per share until the third
anniversary of the date on which such shares were initially issued
to the Investors, and thereafter at the rate equal to 10% of the
original purchase price per share. Such dividends will be
cumulative and will be declared by the Board of Directors and paid
by the Company quarterly on January 31, April 30, July 31 and
October 31 of each year. At the sole option of the holder of
shares of Preferred Stock, such dividends may be paid in the form
of additional shares of Common Stock.

Voting Rights. Except as otherwise provided in the terms of the
Preferred Stock or by law, the Preferred Stock will vote together
with all other classes and series of stock of the Company as a
single class on all actions to be taken by the shareholders of the
Company, including, but not limited to actions amending the
Company's Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of
authorized shares of Common Stock. Each share of Preferred Stock
will entitle its holder to the number of votes per share on each
action equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which
each share of Preferred Stock is then convertible; provided,
however, that if the number of such number of votes is greater
than such number of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
and is consequently a violation of the rules of the Nasdaq Stock
Market applicable to the Company, then the number of votes shall
equal the number of shares of Preferred Stock.

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act

To the Company's knowledge, during fiscal 1999, all reports
required to be filed under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act were
filed in a timely manner.

Compensation of Directors

During the year ended January 31, 1999, the Company's outside
directors (those directors who are not employees of the Company)
were compensated for their services as directors as follows: (i)
director Martin A. Neads was compensated at the rate of $1,000 per
meeting and (ii) directors Paul J. Stein and Robert E. Kenny III
were compensated for the first meeting at the rate of $3,000 per
meeting, thereafter being compensated at a rate of $3,500 per
meeting ($2,500 of each payment made to Messrs. Stein and Kenny
represented forgiveness of amounts due under promissory notes
issued to the Company by Messrs. Stein and Kenny for loans made to
them by the Company to purchase shares of the Company's Common
Stock). Outside directors are not compensated for committee
meetings that occur on the same date as full Board meetings. The
Company does not additionally compensate employee directors. All
directors are reimbursed for all expenses incurred in connection
with attendance at meetings of the Board and the performance of
Board duties.

In addition, outside directors are entitled to receive stock
options under the Directors' Plan. The Directors' Plan provides
that, commencing in 1995, nonemployee directors are entitled to an
option to purchase 5,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock
after their first year in office and to an annual, automatic grant
of an option to purchase 2,500 shares of the Company's Common
Stock at every annual shareholders' meeting commencing in 1995. A
total of 100,000 shares is available under the Directors' Plan.
All options granted under the Directors' Plan have a five year
term and an exercise price equal to 100% of fair market value of
the Common Stock on the date of issuance. Options are not
exercisable at all for six months after their issuance, at which
time they become exercisable as to 50% of the shares covered.
After 12 months, they become exercisable in full until expiration.

Employment Agreements

Paul F. Albrecht, the Company's Chief Technology Officer, is
employed pursuant to an employment agreement dated February 1,
1999. The term of this agreement is 12 months. The agreement
provides for a base salary of $9,167 per month, beginning in
February 1999, plus bonuses payable based upon the delivery of the
Company's ChartMaxx product. The agreement contains customary
noncompetition and confidentiality provisions and may be
terminated by the Company for nonperformance. The agreement does
not contain any special severance provisions that would be
triggered by a change in control of the Company.

Richard A. Mahoney, the Company's Chairman of the Board, President
and Chief Executive Officer, is employed pursuant to an employment
agreement dated October 31, 1995. The term of the agreement
expires on June 30, 2001 and commenced on November 1, 1995. It
provides for a base salary of $186,000 per annum initially,
increasing incrementally to a base salary of $245,000 per annum in
the final year of the agreement. Under the agreement, Mr. Mahoney
will also be entitled to annual bonuses of up to 100% of his
salary, the actual amount to be determined based on the Company's
performance and Mr. Mahoney's personal performance as determined
by the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee of the
Board of Directors. He also is entitled to annual stock option
grants of 50,000 shares during the term of the agreement under the
Long-Term Plan and may be granted up to 50,000 stock options in
lieu of a cash bonus in a particular year.

Under the employment agreement, if the Company terminates Mr.
Mahoney's employment without cause or Mr. Mahoney terminates his
employment with the Company under a limited set of circumstances
defined in the employment agreement, including a change of
control, Mr. Mahoney will receive an amount derived by multiplying
the factor 2.99 by the sum of his salary and bonus paid in the
year prior to the year of termination. In addition, in the event
of a change in control of the Company, all outstanding stock
options held by Mr. Mahoney at the time of the change in control,
which were granted six months or more prior to such time, will
become exercisable in full and will become subject to repurchase,
at fair market value, for cash by the Company at Mr. Mahoney's
election. This agreement also provides that in the event it
expires and Mr. Mahoney is not rehired in the same position under
the terms and conditions of a new employment agreement acceptable
to both Mr. Mahoney and the Company, Mr. Mahoney will receive lump
sum severance compensation equal to the sum of the salary and
bonus paid to him in the year ending June 30, 2001, the final year
of the agreement. In the event the agreement is terminated by the
Company for cause, Mr. Mahoney would forfeit any severance payment
and all of his outstanding stock options. The agreement also
provides that upon termination or expiration, Mr. Mahoney's
participation in Company-sponsored employee and health benefit
plans will be continued at the Company's expense for a maximum of
18 months so long as he is alive and is not elsewhere employed or
self-employed.

McMullen's employment without cause, he shall receive severance
pay in the amount of three months' salary.

contains customary noncompetition and confidentiality provisions
and may be terminated by the Company for nonperformance. In the
event Mr. Present is elected President of the Company during the
term of the agreement, whether or not such election follows a
change in control of the Company, the agreement provides that he
shall be awarded stock options to purchase 50,000 shares of the
Company's Common Stock under the Company's Long-Term Stock
Incentive Plan. In addition, if the Company terminates Mr.
Present's employment without cause, he shall receive severance pay
in the amount of six months' salary. Finally, should Mr.
Present's employment be terminated, with or without cause, as a
result of the liquidation, dissolution, consolidation, merger or
other business combination of the Company, including the transfer
of all or substantially all of the Company's assets, the agreement
provides that (i) the Company shall pay to Mr. Present an amount
equal to 2.5 times the aggregate of salary and bonus payments made
to him from February 1, 1999 until the date of such termination
and (ii) all stock options granted to Mr. Present prior to such

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS, RELATED TRANSACTIONS AND OTHER
INFORMATION

The Company signed a letter of agreement with DiaLogos, Inc.
("DiaLogos"), dated July 12, 1996, amended January 31, 1997, in
which the Company, on or before March 31, 1998, agreed to either
pay DiaLogos for 75% of the common shares of DiaLogos or secure a
funding commitment for DiaLogos' operations from investors and/or
lenders, or a combination thereof. (A copy of such letter of
agreement was included as an Exhibit to the Company's 1996 Annual
Report on Form 10-KSB). Certain investors identified by the
Company would receive a 1% interest in DiaLogos in exchange for
each $22,000 invested in DiaLogos. In addition, the letter
provides that in the event the Company secures a funding
commitment from investors and/or lenders, then DiaLogos will grant
the Company the option (immediately exercisable through December
31, 1999) to purchase 75% of the common shares of DiaLogos less
any shares already purchased by the Company and/or investors
identified by the Company. Richard Mahoney, the President, Chief
Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of the Company, Philip
S. Present II, the Chief Operating Officer and Director of the
Company and Daniel A. Silber, the Chief Financial Officer of the
Company have each invested funds in DiaLogos in exchange for
ownership interests therein. Mr. Mahoney and his spouse have
invested a total amount of $297,000 for an interest of 13.5% of
DiaLogos, Mr. Present has invested $44,000 for a 2% interest in
DiaLogos and Mr. Silber has invested $22,000 for a 1% interest in
DiaLogos.

The terms of the Agreement of Merger and Plan of
Reorganization pursuant to which the Company acquired UDMS in
December 1995 provided that the Company would not sell or merge
UDMS to or into an unaffiliated third party or sell its stock to
an unaffiliated third party without the prior consent of Jay
Hilnbrand, one of the prior shareholders of UDMS, General Manager
of UDMS and a director of the Company. When the Board of
Directors of the Company determined it would be in the best
interests of the Company to conduct an initial public offering of
UDMS' common stock (the "IPO"), the Company needed to obtain Mr.
Hilnbrand's consent. In accordance with that obligation, the
Company and Mr. Hilnbrand entered into an Agreement on May 15,
1997, subsequently amended December 10, 1997, pursuant to which
Mr. Hilnbrand agreed to consent to the IPO and the Company agreed
to pay to Mr. Hilnbrand $10,100 on the effective date of the IPO.
(A copy of this Agreement, as amended, was included as an Exhibit
to the Company's 1998 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB.)

When the Company acquired UDMS in December 1995, it also
acquired all the common stock of HWB, Inc., a company that was
affiliated with UDMS and of which Mr. Hilnbrand was a shareholder
("HWB"). A portion of the consideration paid by the Company for
the common stock of HWB was to be based on the revenues of UDMS
over a period of time (the "Earn-Out Consideration"). As a result
of the potential IPO, the Company and Mr. Hilnbrand have also
amended the Stock Purchase Agreement dated December 29, 1995
pursuant to which Mr. Hilnbrand sold to the Company all of the
common stock of HWB, Inc. owned by him. (A copy of this
Agreement, as amended, was included as an Exhibit to the Company's
1998 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB). The amendment provides that
if the IPO occurs, certain Earn-Out Consideration due Hilnbrand
could be earned by him over an extended period of time and a
portion of such consideration could be paid in the form of UDMS'
common stock instead of the Company's common stock.

In January 1998, the Company decided to sell the net assets
of the Step2000 segment of UDMS and began negotiating with
prospective buyers. Jay Hilnbrand, General Manager of UDMS and a
director of the Company, acted on the Company's behalf in
identifying and negotiating with prospective buyers. It was the
intention of the Company to compensate Mr. Hilnbrand for these
efforts in the event the Company sold the Step2000 product as a
result of such efforts. At this time, however, the Company has
determined not to sell the net assets of the Step2000 segment of
UDMS.

On January 1, 1998, and again on January 1, 1999, the
Company entered into consecutive Representative Agreements with
European IT Solutions ("EITS") pursuant to which the Company hired
EITS to research, develop and implement an indirect sales channel
for the Company's products and services into part or parts of the
member states of the European Union ("EU"). Martin A. Neads, a
director of the Company, is a principle of EITS. Pursuant to the
Representative Agreement, the Company has advanced a certain
amount of funding to EITS for market assessment and other
activities to be performed by EITS and/or its agents in
furtherance of its objectives. In addition, in exchange for its
services pursuant to the Representative Agreement, EITS is to
receive certain marketing fees based on successful sales in the
EU.

The Company's Chief Operating Officer and Director, Philip
S. Present II, was an audit partner with the accounting firm KPMG
Peat Marwick LLP ("KPMG") prior to joining the Company in 1995.
In such capacity he served as the engagement partner for a client
of KPMG during 1993. In 1995 that client restated its financial
statements for the years 1992 and 1993 as a result of its
allegedly having reported premature and fictitious revenue for
such years. In April 1997, the Securities and Exchange Commission
("SEC") settled a civil proceeding in the United States District
Court for the Southern District of Ohio against that client and
five of its former senior officers. The client consented to a
permanent injunction and the former officers consented to both
permanent injunctions and a total of approximately $1.5 million in
monetary penalties. One of the former officers also pleaded
guilty to related criminal charges. In a separate administrative
proceeding also concluded in April 1997, Mr. Present and another
former KPMG partner voluntarily consented to a cease and desist
order arising out of the conduct of the audits of the client's
financial statements without admitting or denying any of the SEC's
allegations. As a result of the order, Mr. Present was prohibited
from practicing as an accountant before the SEC for a period of 30
months from the date of such order. The order does not affect his
current duties with the Company or his ability to serve as a
director of a publicly-held company. Mr. Present voluntarily
consented to the order in order to avoid the expense and time
burden of prolonged contested proceedings.
