(the "Company") in connection with the solicitation of proxies for use at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the "Annual Meeting") to be held at 1717 West Sixth Street, Suite 400, Austin, Texas on May 13, 1999 at 9:00 a.m., Austin, Texas time, and at all adjournments or postponements thereof. The Company will pay all expenses incurred in connection with this solicitation, including postage, printing, handling and the actual expenses incurred by custodians, nominees and fiduciaries in forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners. In addition to solicitation by mail, certain officers, directors and regular employees of the Company, who will receive no additional compensation for their services, may solicit proxies by telephone, personal communication or other means. This Proxy Statement and enclosed proxy card were initially mailed or delivered to stockholders on or about April 8, 1999. The Company's Annual Report, including financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998, was simultaneously mailed to shareholders. Purposes of Meeting The principal purposes of the meeting are: (i) to elect five (5) directors of the Company (three (3) to be elected by the Company's Common Shareholders and two (2) to be elected by the Company's Class A Preferred Shareholders), and (ii) to ratify the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, independent accountants, as auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1999. The Board of Directors knows of no other matters other than those stated above to be brought before the meeting. Voting Rights If the accompanying proxy card is properly signed and returned to the Company and not revoked, it will be voted in accordance with the instructions contained therein. If the proxy card is signed and returned, but voting directions are not made, the proxy will be voted in favor of the proposals set forth in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders and in such manner as the proxy holders named on the enclosed proxy card in their discretion determine upon such other business that may properly come before the meeting or at any adjournment or postponement thereof. Any proxy given pursuant to this solicitation may be revoked by the person giving it at any time before it is voted by (i) filing written notice of revocation with the Secretary of the Company which is actually received prior to the vote of the shareholders, (ii) filing a duly executed proxy bearing a later date with the Secretary of the Company before the vote of the shareholders or (iii) attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person. The Board of Directors has fixed the close of business on March 31, 1999, as the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting and all adjournments or postponements thereof. As of the close of business on March 31, 1999, the Company had outstanding 4,169,734 shares of Common Stock, 4,253 shares of Class A Preferred Stock and 50,000 shares of Class B Preferred Stock. With respect to those directors that the holders of Common Stock are entitled to elect, each holder of Common Stock will be entitled to one (1) vote for each share owned. As of March 31, 1999, 4,169,734 shares of Common Stock were outstanding. With respect to those directors that the holders of Class A Preferred Stock are entitled to elect, each holder of Class A Preferred Stock will be entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which the shares of Class A Preferred Stock held by such shareholder could be converted. As of March 31, 1999, 4,253 shares of Class A Preferred Stock were outstanding. The holder of the Company's Class B Preferred Stock is entitled to vote on an as-converted basis with the holders of the Common Stock in the election of directors or, at its option, to vote separately to elect one (1) member of the Board. The holder of the Class B Preferred Stock has advised the Company (i) that it will not vote with the holders of the Common Stock in the election of directors at the Annual Meeting and (ii) that it reserves its right to designate a director at a future date. If the holder of the Class B Preferred Stock were to exercise this right, the Board would be expanded to accommodate the Class B director. On other matters to come before the Annual Meeting, the holders of the Common Stock and Class A Preferred Stock and Class B Preferred Stock shall vote together, with each holder of Common Stock entitled to one (1) vote for each share owned, each holder of Class A Preferred Stock entitled to 666-2/3 votes for each share of Class A Preferred Stock owned, and each holder of Class B Preferred Stock entitled to 36.36 votes for each share of Class B Preferred Stock owned. Fractional votes shall not be permitted, and any fractional voting rights of the holders of the Preferred Stock (after aggregating all shares into which shares of Preferred Stock held by any holder may be converted) shall be rounded to the nearest whole number. The representation in person or by proxy of at least a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting is necessary to establish a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting. In addition, with respect to the election of directors by the holders of Class A Preferred Stock, the representation in person or by proxy of the holders of at least two-thirds of the Class A Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be required to constitute a quorum. Directors to be elected by the holders of the Common Stock will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast by the holders of the Common Stock. Directors to be elected by the holders of the Class A Preferred Stock will be elected by a vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of Class A Preferred Stock then outstanding. All other matters to come before the Annual Meeting require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of capital stock of the Company entitled to vote and represented in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker "non-votes" are counted as represented for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum. A "non-vote" occurs when a broker holding shares for a beneficial owner votes on one proposal, but does not vote on another proposal because the broker does not have discretionary voting power and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner. Abstentions are included in the number of shares voting on each matter and, therefore, with respect to votes on specific proposals, will have the effect of negative votes. Broker "non-votes" are not so included. 2 I. ELECTION OF DIRECTORS The Board presently consists of five (5) members. All of the directors elected at the Annual Meeting will hold office until the next succeeding annual meeting or until their successors shall have been elected and qualify. The management of the Company recommends the election to the Board of the five (5) nominees whose names appear in the tables below. Unless a proxy indicates otherwise, the persons designated as proxies will vote the shares of the Company's Common Stock represented by properly executed and returned proxies for the election of Dr. Rosina Maar, and Messrs. Robert S. Sammis and James W. Clark, Jr., and will vote the shares of Class A Preferred Stock represented by properly executed and returned proxies for the election of Dr. Zola P. Horovitz and Mr. Joel D. Liffmann. In the event any of the nominees is unable to serve (which is not anticipated), the persons designated in proxies will cast votes for the remaining nominees and for such other persons as the Board of Directors may select. All of the nominees presently serve as directors. The first table below sets forth information concerning the nominees for the three (3) director positions to be elected by the holders of Common Stock; the second table sets forth information concerning the nominees for the two (2) director positions to be elected by the holders of Class A Preferred Stock. Information about ownership of equity securities of the Company by the nominees appears elsewhere in this Proxy Statement under the caption "Ownership of Common Stock and Preferred Stock."

Employment Agreements During 1996 Messrs. Thomas P. O'Donnell and Robert S. Sammis each became parties to five-year employment contracts with the Company, pursuant to which they became entitled to minimum base compensation of $150,000 and $135,000 per year, respectively. The Company had the right to terminate either such agreement with or without cause; provided, however, if employment was terminated without cause, then the executive in question was entitled to receive a severance payment equal to two (2) times the compensation received from the Company in the twelve (12) months prior to the date of termination. If employment was terminated either voluntarily by the executive or by the Company for cause, then no severance was payable; provided, however, that if the executive terminated his employment following a material reduction in his level of responsibility, then such termination was deemed to be termination without cause by the Company, and the executive was entitled to the severance payment described above. In any event, the executive in question is bound by a noncompetition covenant until the earlier of (i) June 30, 1999 or (ii) two (2) years following termination of employment.

Mr. O'Donnell and a related family limited partnership also affirmed that they will continue to be bound by the Lock-Up Agreement entered into in connection with issuance of the Class B Preferred Stock. Pursuant to the Lock-Up Agreement, a majority of the Company's Common Stock owned by Mr. O'Donnell and the related partnership may not be sold until November 1999, absent the prior occurrence of certain extraordinary events. Mr. Sammis's employment contract, as described above, continues in effect. Dr. Maar, Mr. Clark and Ms. Krivacic are also parties to employment contracts. The agreement applicable to Dr. Maar provides for a two-year term commencing in February 1999, with three automatic one-year renewal terms.

Preferred Stock All of the Company's Class A Preferred Stock is owned by The Oracle Group, as described in footnote (1) to the preceding table. All of the Company's Class B Preferred Stock is owned by Sirrom Capital Corporation d/b/a Tandem Capital ("Tandem"), as described in footnote 2 to the preceding table. None of the Class A Preferred Stock or Class B Preferred Stock is owned by any director of the Company or by any of the Named Executive Officers. Potential Change in Control In any election of directors, the holders of Class A Preferred Stock, voting separately as a class, are entitled to elect that number of directors (the "Class A Directors") as is proportionate to their ownership interest in the Company, determined on an as-converted basis (giving effect to the conversion of both the Class A Preferred Stock and the Class B Preferred Stock). On an as- converted basis, the holders of Class A Preferred Stock currently have an approximate 32% interest in the Company, which interest may increase over time as mandatory in-kind dividends are paid with respect to the Class A Preferred Stock. The holder of the Class B Preferred Stock may, at its option, vote as a class to elect one (1) member of the Board of Directors (the "Class B Director"). Any default in the payment of dividends on the Class A Preferred Stock is deemed to be a "Class A Dividend Default." The Company is in default with respect to the Class B Preferred Stock if the Company fails to pay dividends on the Class B Preferred Stock on six (6) consecutive payment dates or if the aggregate unpaid dividends ever equal or exceed $18 per share ("Class B Dividend Default"). If a Class A Dividend Default or a Class B Dividend Default occurs, then the Class A Directors are entitled to cast two (2) votes on all matters, the Class B Director is entitled to cast the same number of votes as may collectively be cast by the Class A Directors, and the directors elected by the holders of Common Stock continue to have the right to cast one (1) vote on all such matters. Accordingly, the directors elected by the two (2) classes of Preferred Stock would together control the Board. If a Class B Dividend Default occurs and there are no Class A Directors, then the Class B Director would immediately be entitled to that number of votes as would constitute a majority of all votes cast by the Board of Directors. CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS Indemnified Lawsuit. In connection with their separation from a previous employer and the formation of the Predecessor Company, Thomas P. O'Donnell and Robert S. Sammis became involved in certain disputes with the previous employer and one of its shareholders and creditors. These disputes culminated in the previous employer's filing of a lawsuit against Mr. Sammis and the Company in which various causes of action were alleged. 13 The Company agreed to indemnify Mr. Sammis in connection with the lawsuit. In April 1997, the lawsuit was settled. Pursuant to the settlement, the Company paid the plaintiffs $200,000. Loan from Oracle Partners, L.P. On July 1, 1997, the Company received a six-month term loan from a Class A Preferred stockholder, Oracle Partners, L.P. The loan terms required the payment of interest at 10%. In connection with the loan, the Company issued a warrant to purchase 200,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at $5.50 per share. (The warrant exercise price was subsequently adjusted to $5.06 per share and the shares purchasable were adjusted to 217,391 in connection with the issuance of Class B Preferred Stock.) The warrant is immediately exercisable and expires five years from the date of issuance. Total interest expense recognized in 1997 related to this loan was approximately $314,750. The loan was repaid on November 25, 1997. II.
