Nichols, Jerry Sinclair and Anton Szpendyk has entered into a Tender and Option Agreement, dated as of December 18, 1997 on identical terms (the "Tender and Option Agreements") with TSH. The Stock Option Agreement and the Tender and Option Agreements are more fully described below. The amount of Shares set forth above does not include Shares which may be acquired by TSH upon exercise of the Stock Option Agreement or the Tender and Option Agreements. In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, TSH has entered into Tender and Option Agreements with the directors and executive officers of the Company (the "Management"), pursuant to which, among other things, the Management has agreed to tender validly in the Offer, and not withdraw, all of the Shares that they now own or subsequently may acquire (the "Management Shares") (which, amounted to 345,809 Shares beneficially owned (including options exercisable on or before February 16, 1998 for Shares) as of December 18, 1997, and which constitute approximately 19% of the Shares on a fully diluted basis). In addition, the Management agreed in the Tender and Option Agreements that, at any meeting of the Company's stockholders (however called), it would (i) vote the Management Shares in favor of the Merger, (ii) vote the Management Shares against any action or agreement that would result in a breach in any material respect of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation of the Company under the Merger Agreement, and (iii) vote the Management Shares against any action or agreement that would impede, interfere with, delay, postpone or attempt to discourage the Merger or the Offer. The Tender and Option Agreements provide that for a period of six months from the date thereof TSH shall have (i) the Option to purchase the Management Shares if a third party makes an Acquisition Proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement) and (ii) a right of first refusal if any Management holder intends to sell his or her Shares to a third party. The Tender and Option Agreements shall terminate on the first to occur of (i) the effective time of the Merger and (ii) the termination of the Merger Agreement. The Company, TSH and Purchaser have entered into a Stock Option Agreement pursuant to which, in the event the Merger Agreement is terminated under certain circumstances, including the acquisition by a person other than TSH or Purchaser of 20% or more of the Shares, the Company shall grant to Purchaser an option to purchase at a price of $15.00 per Share that number of Shares which would equal 19.9% of the aggregate number of Shares outstanding after giving effect to the exercise of such option. SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company's executive officers and directors, and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of the Company's stock to file initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of the Company's stock with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These executive officers, directors, and beneficial owners are required to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms that they file. Based solely on a review of copies of such forms furnished to the Company and written representations from the Company's Executive Officers and Directors, the Company notes that, for its fiscal year ended March 31, 1997, all forms were timely filed except a Form 4, with respect to a single transaction, was inadvertently filed late by each of Messrs. M. Garner, R. Lyons and R. Nichols, and Mr. Lyons filed an Initial Statement of Beneficial Ownership of Securities on Form 3 late. BOARD OF DIRECTORS The Board of Directors currently consists of seven members of whom one third are elected each year to serve for terms of three years. The Company's Articles of Incorporation provide that its Board of Directors shall consist of not less than three nor more than 15 directors and that directors shall serve three year, staggered terms. The By-laws provide that the exact number of directors is determined by the shareholders, or by the Board of Directors. The Merger Agreement provides that, promptly upon the purchase by Purchaser of such number of Shares as represents at least a majority of the outstanding Shares (on a fully diluted basis) and from time to time thereafter, Purchaser shall be entitled to designate such number of directors, rounded up to the next whole number, on the Board of Directors of the Company as will give Purchaser representation on the Board 3 6 of Directors of the Company equal to the product of (a) the number of directors on the Board of Directors of the Company (after giving effect to the appointment of such directors) and (b) the percentage that such number of Shares so purchased bears to the number of Shares outstanding, and the Company will, upon request by Purchaser, promptly (i) increase the size of the Board of Directors of the Company to the extent permitted by its Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws (and amend its Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws, if so required, to increase the size of the Board of Directors to allow for such additional directors), or (ii) take all steps necessary and appropriate to secure the resignations of such number of directors as is necessary to enable TSH's Designees to be elected to the Board of Directors of the Company (and will hold a Board meeting for such purpose), provided however, that prior to the effective time of the Merger, the Board of Directors shall at all times have at least one "Disinterested Director" (as such term is defined in Section 607.0901 of the Florida Business Corporation Act). TSH and Purchaser have informed the Company that they will choose the TSH Designees from the persons listed on Schedule I to this Information Statement. Schedule I also sets forth the present principal occupation or employment and five-year employment history and citizenship for each of the persons who may be designated as a director. TSH and Purchaser, and the TSH Designees have advised the Company that none of the TSH Designees beneficially owns any securities (or rights to acquire securities) of the Company or has been involved in any transactions with the Company or any of its directors, executive officers or affiliates that are required to be disclosed pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, except as may be disclosed in the Offer to Purchase. TSH and Purchaser have informed the Company that each of the persons listed on Schedule I to this Information Statement has consented to act as a director, if so designated. It is expected that the TSH Designees may assume office at any time following consummation of the Offer, and that, upon assuming office, the TSH Designees will thereafter constitute at least a majority of the Board. This step will be accomplished at a meeting or by written consent of the Board providing that the size of the Board will be increased and/or sufficient numbers of current directors will resign to enable the TSH Designees to be elected to the Board of Directors. Of the current directors of the Company, it is expected that Mr. Garner will continue as a director following the purchase of Shares pursuant to the Offer. CONTINUING DIRECTORS The following is certain biographical information, as of December 18, 1997, with respect to the current member of the Board of Directors who may continue to serve on the Board of Directors after the appointment of the TSH Designees to constitute a majority of the Board.

TSH has further agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to negotiate individual contractual arrangements with each of the aforementioned officers relating to their employment with the Company on or before the effective time of the Merger. Such individual arrangements shall supersede any arrangements set forth in the Letter Agreement. Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, the aforementioned officers may be terminated for cause, as defined therein. "Cause" is defined as such employee's (i) failure to perform substantially the employee's duties owed to the Company after a written demand for substantial performance is delivered to such employee which specifically identifies the nature of such nonperformance, or (ii) engaging in dishonorable or disruptive behavior which would be reasonably expected to harm the Company, its business or its employees. In the event such employee is terminated without cause (which shall include relocation of such employee required by the Company, TSH or Purchaser), such terminated employee shall be entitled to receive in a lump sum by Company check on the day of termination of employment, the portion of the base salary to which such employee would have been entitled as indicated in the Letter Agreement, had such employee remained employed by the Company until the end of the two-year period referred to above. TSH has also agreed that with respect to Earl J. Claire, President of ADS and a member of the Board of Directors of the Company, Mr. Claire shall be entitled to receive the same payment on the same terms as set forth above in the event of his termination with cause, as he would have been entitled to receive had such termination occurred without cause. Effective December 8, 1997, Mr. Claire's base salary was increased to $112,008 per year as a result of his 90 day performance review. On December 17, 1997, the Board of Directors of the Company elected to accelerate the vesting of all outstanding stock options under such plan.
