for an offering (the "Offering") by the Company of 4,550,000 shares of Common
Stock (exclusive of the over-allotment option (the "Over-Allotment Option") of
682,500 additional shares) covered by a registration statement filed by the
Company with the SEC on April 17, 1995. He was also an officer of the
underwriter which took the Company public in 1987. Mr. Lieberbaum has been in
the brokerage business for over 35 years and serves as a director for Unapix
Enterprises, Eastco Industrial Safety Corporation and In-Home Health, Inc. Mr.
Lieberbaum became a Director of the Company in 1992 in connection with an
agreement of the Company with the underwriters of the 1992 Public Offering that
until June 18, 1995, the Company would use its best efforts to cause one
individual designated by such underwriters to be elected to the Board or to be

Offering is successfully completed, a similar agreement regarding the
designation of a director of the Company will be entered into between the
Company and the Underwriter.

(1) All other compensation includes Company contributions to life
insurance policies, where the Company is not the beneficiary, to the
Deferred Compensation Plan and to the 401(k) Plan of the Company and
the cost to the Company of the nonbusiness use of Company automobiles
used by executive officers. See hereinbelow and "Deferred Compensation
Plan for Executive Officers and Key Employees" and "401(k) Plan."
The Company has a $1,000,000 key man term life insurance policy on the
life of Paul Goldberg with benefits payable to the Company. In addition, the
Company pays for a $550,000 universal life insurance policy on the life of Paul
Goldberg with benefits payable to his wife. The current annual premiums on the
foregoing policies insuring the life of Paul Goldberg are approximately $9,300
and $7,700 for the key man and universal life insurance policies, respectively.
The Company owns and is the beneficiary of a $1,000,000 term policy on the life
of Bruce M. Goldberg. The current annual premium on this policy is $1,580.
Moreover, during 1994 the Company transferred ownership of a $1,000,000 whole
life insurance policy (the "Whole Life Policy") on the life of Bruce M.
Goldberg to Bruce M. Goldberg to fulfill an obligation under his existing
employment arrangement. The Company intends to make annual advances to Bruce M.
Goldberg to cover the annual premium of the Whole Life Policy currently in the
amount of $22,995. Such annual advances are secured by the cash surrender value
of the Whole Life Policy. Since more than two and one-half years had passed
since the date of Bruce M. Goldberg's existing employment agreement, fifty
percent (50%) of the advances through December 31, 1994, were cancelled and the
5
6
related security released on January 1, 1995. The remainder of the existing
advances and any future advances made to pay premiums on the Whole Life Policy
through May 31, 1997, will be cancelled and any remaining security will be
released in accordance with a vesting schedule by May 31, 1997, provided Bruce
M. Goldberg continues employment with the Company through the end of such
period. Thereafter the Company will continue, for the duration of Bruce M.
Goldberg's employment, to pay the annual premium to Bruce M. Goldberg for the
Whole Life Policy. If Bruce M. Goldberg is terminated by the Company for cause
prior to May 31, 1997, he will be entitled to pay off the nonvested advances
owed to the Company and obtain a release of any collateral assignment. If Bruce
M. Goldberg is terminated without cause, any nonvested advances owed to the
Company will become immediately vested and any remaining security will be
released. In addition, beginning in 1993 the Company has funded, and intends to
continue to fund, the premiums for $1,000,000 flexible premium life insurance
policies owned by each of Howard L. Flanders and Rick Gordon. The Company's
advances will be secured by a collateral assignment of the cash value and death
benefit of each of the policies. The current annual premium on each of these
policies is $11,500. The Company's obligations to make premium payments in
connection with Howard L. Flanders' and Rick Gordon's policies are expected to
last for a maximum of ten years. After Howard L. Flanders and Rick Gordon have
been with the Company for a period of five years from the year in which the
policy was acquired (1993) and provided they each remain in the employ of the
Company, the advances will be deemed cancelled and the security released
thereafter ratably over a five year vesting period until such time as all
advances are deemed cancelled.
OPTION GRANTS IN LAST FISCAL YEAR
The Company did not grant any stock options during its fiscal year
ended December 31, 1994, to any executive officer of the Company.
AGGREGATED OPTION EXERCISES IN LAST FISCAL YEAR AND FISCAL YEAR-ENDED OPTION

(1) Value is based upon the difference between the exercise price of the
options and the last reported sale price of the Common Stock on
December 31, 1994.
(2) Stock options covering 3,125 shares of Common Stock at an exercise
price of $1.60 per share were exercised by Bruce M. Goldberg during
the fiscal year ended December 31, 1994. The value realized per share
is based upon the difference between the closing sale price of the
Company's Common Stock on The Nasdaq Stock Market on the date of
exercise and the exercise price.
EMPLOYEES', OFFICERS', DIRECTORS' STOCK OPTION PLAN
In 1987, the Company established an Employees', Officers', Directors'
Stock Option Plan (the "Option Plan"). Unless earlier terminated, the Option
Plan will continue in effect through May 28, 2004, after which it will expire
and no further options could thereafter be granted under the Option Plan. The
Option Plan provides for awards of options to purchase shares of Common Stock
to officers, directors and employees of and independent contractors associated
with the Company. A maximum of 2,250,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock
has previously been reserved for issuance upon the exercise of options granted
under the Option Plan. In order to have a sufficient number of authorized and
unissued shares of Common Stock to undertake the Offering (assuming the Over-
Allotment Option will be exercised in full), the number of shares of the
Company's Common Stock reserved for issuance under the Option Plan is
contemplated to be reduced by the Board to no more than 1,575,250 shares;
provided, however, that, in the event that the Offering is not consummated or
the Over-Allotment Option is not exercised, there will be no reduction in the
number of reserved shares or, if the Over-Allotment Option is not exercised in
full, a lesser reduction will be made. Notwithstanding the foregoing reduction,
it is contemplated that the Board will authorize an increase in the number of
shares of the Company's Common Stock reserved for issuance under the Option
Plan to 3,250,000 shares, subject to obtaining the approval of the shareholders
of the Company to such increase and to an increase in the number of shares of
Common Stock authorized to be issued by the Company. The increases are
necessary in order to authorize the aggregate of 1,000,000 stock options (the
"New Options") contemplated to be granted to the four executive officers of the
Company in connection with their entering into new employment agreements with
the Company. See "Employment Agreements." If approved, this would also
eliminate any reduction in the reserved shares under the Option Plan
necessitated by the Offering.
The Option Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee. The
Compensation Committee's functions include recommending persons to whom options
should be granted, the date of each option grant, the number of shares of
Common Stock to be included in each option, any vesting schedule and the option
price and term (which in no event will be for a period more than ten years from
the date of grant). The Compensation Committee's proposals are based upon and
in recognition of the judgment, initiative, leadership and continued efforts of
eligible participants. Unless the Compensation Committee is comprised of at
least three disinterested persons, meaning that none of such persons are
eligible or have within the previous year been eligible to participate in the
Option Plan, any option granted to a director must satisfy all of the following
requirements: (i) the total number of options granted to directors under the
Option Plan may not exceed 35% of the shares reserved under the Option Plan
(the "35% Limitation"); (ii) no director
7
8
may be granted options in excess of 30% of the shares issued under the Option
Plan in any one particular issuance; (iii) options granted to directors may not
be exercisable for at least one year after the date of grant; (iv) the exercise
price of options granted to directors may not be less than the fair market
value of the Common Stock on the date of grant, except that if a director
beneficially owns 10% or more of the combined voting power of the Company, the
option price may not be less than 110% of the fair market value of the Common
Stock on the date of grant. In addition, options granted to directors are
subject to all other restrictions set forth in the Option Plan. Since currently
there are only two disinterested directors on the Compensation Committee, the
above limitations relating to grants of options to directors are currently in
effect. As a result of the number of shares of the Company's Common Stock
reserved for issuance under the Option Plan being required to be reduced by the
Board to permit the Company to undertake the Offering, Paul Goldberg and Bruce
M. Goldberg will agree not to exercise stock options held by them for an
aggregate of up to 50,000 shares each of Common Stock to enable the Option Plan
to remain in compliance with the 35% Limitation. This agreement would
terminate upon the number of shares reserved for issuance being subsequently
increased to an amount sufficient to permit the Option Plan to be in compliance
with the 35% Limitation or the 35% Limitation being otherwise eliminated. As a
result of the New Options contemplated to be granted to the four executive
officers of the Company in connection with their entering into new employment
agreements, the Company will be seeking the approval of the Company's
shareholders to certain eliminations or modifications of the above limitations,
as well as certain other amendments to the Option Plan. See "Employment
Agreements."
The exercise price for all options granted under the Option Plan shall
not be less than the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant
(or 110% of the fair market value if the beneficiary of the grant beneficially
owns 10% or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock). In addition, the
aggregate fair market value of the Common Stock (determined at the date of the
option grant) for which a person may be granted incentive stock options which
first become exercisable in any calendar year under the Option Plan may not
exceed $100,000. Options granted pursuant to the Option Plan are not
transferrable during an optionee's lifetime.
To the extent incentive stock options are granted under the Option
Plan, this generally entitles an optionee who is an employee to defer
recognition of income or loss for federal tax purposes until the shares
underlying the options are sold. Under the Option Plan the Company does not
obtain any federal tax deductions except in unusual circumstances.
On February 11, 1994, the Company filed a registration statement on
Form S-8 with the Commission in order to register 1,687,914 shares of Common
Stock then issuable under the Option Plan and 98,160 issuable to an employee of
the Company upon the exercise of a stock option granted outside of the Option
Plan in connection with an acquisition by the Company. So long as such
registration statement remains effective under the Act, shares of Common Stock
issued upon the exercise of outstanding options under the Option Plan will be
immediately and freely tradable without restriction under the Act, subject to
applicable volume limitations, if any, under Rule 144 and, in the case of
executive officers and directors of the Company, Section 16 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. It is contemplated that the Company will at
the appropriate time file an amendment to its
8
9
registration statement on Form S-8 in order to register any additional shares
of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the Option Plan.
As of March 31, 1995, a total of 1,316,690 options were granted and
had not expired or been forfeited, of which 146,127 were exercised and
1,170,563 options were outstanding (of which 631,000 options were held by
executive officers and directors of the Company as a group, see "Aggregated
Option Exercises in Last Fiscal Year and Fiscal Year-Ended Option Values" and
549,412 options are presently exercisable). These options, which are held by 68
persons, are exercisable at prices ranging from $.75 per share to $2.63 per
share and are exercisable through various expiration dates from 1995 to 2000.
In addition, certain options were issued to the selling stockholders in
connection with the Company's acquisitions in 1994. See "Item 7. Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations --
Acquisitions."
DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN FOR EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND KEY EMPLOYEES
Effective January 1, 1988, the Company established a deferred
compensation plan (the "Deferred Compensation Plan") for executive officers and
key employees of the Company. The employees eligible to participate in the
Deferred Compensation Plan (the "Participants") are chosen at the sole
discretion of the Board, upon a recommendation from the Compensation Committee.
Pursuant to the Deferred Compensation Plan, commencing on a Participant's
retirement date, he or she will receive an annuity for ten years. The amount of
the annuity shall be computed at 30% of the Participant's salary, as defined.
Any Participant with less than ten years of service to the Company as of his or
her retirement date will only receive a pro rata portion of the annuity.
Retirement benefits paid under the Deferred Compensation Plan will be
distributed monthly. The Company paid benefits under this plan of approximately
$52,000 during 1994, none of which was paid to any executive officer. The
maximum benefit payable to a Participant (including each of the executive
officers) under the Deferred Compensation Plan is presently $22,500 per annum.
401(K) PLAN
The Company maintains a 401(k) Plan (the "401(k) Plan"), which is
intended to qualify under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended. All full-time employees of the Company over the age of 21 are
eligible to participate in the 401(k) Plan after completing 90 days of
employment. Each eligible employee may elect to contribute to the 401(k) Plan,
through payroll deductions, up to 15% of his or her salary, limited to $9,240
in 1994. The Company makes matching contributions and in 1994 its contributions
were in the amount of 25% on the first 6% contributed of each participating
employee's salary.
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
The Goldberg Agreements
Effective June 1, 1992, the Company entered into employment agreements
with Paul Goldberg, its Chief Executive Officer and Bruce M. Goldberg, its
current President and Chief Operating Officer (collectively, the "1992
Agreements"). The 1992 Agreements are for three-
9
10
year terms expiring on May 31, 1995. Pursuant to their 1992 Agreements, Paul
Goldberg and Bruce M. Goldberg currently receive a base salary of $186,000 and
$150,000 per annum, respectively. Under the 1992 Agreements, Paul Goldberg and
Bruce M. Goldberg are also each entitled to receive a bonus equal to 5% of the
Company's pre-tax income in excess of $1,000,000 in any calendar year. Such
bonus compensation payable under the 1992 Agreements to Paul Goldberg and Bruce
M. Goldberg is limited to $150,000 and $100,000 per annum, respectively. For
the calendar year 1994, Paul Goldberg and Bruce M. Goldberg did not earn a
bonus, although they were each paid $100,000 relating to bonuses earned for the
Company's 1993 fiscal year.
In addition, the 1992 Agreements provide for certain additional
benefits, including participation in Company benefit plans, including the
Deferred Compensation Plan, payments to the employee upon his disability,
certain life insurance benefits and the continued use of a Company automobile.
See "Summary Compensation Table." The agreements prohibit Paul Goldberg and
Bruce M. Goldberg from competing with the Company for two years after any
voluntary termination of employment or termination for cause. The agreements
further provide that, if there is a change in control (as defined) of the
Company, the Company shall have the option to either extend the agreements for
two additional years or terminate the agreements upon making a lump sum
severance payment equal to two years compensation. Further, if Paul Goldberg or
Bruce M. Goldberg were to be terminated without cause, each of them would be
entitled to receive severance benefits equal to the greater of two years
compensation or the remainder of the compensation due them under their
respective employment agreements.
The Company contemplates entering into new employment agreements with
each of Paul Goldberg and Bruce M. Goldberg to take effect as of the expiration
of the 1992 Agreements (collectively the "1995 Agreements"). The 1995 Agreement
for Paul Goldberg will extend the term of his employment until December 31,
2000, subject to earlier termination as a result of his retirement as
hereinafter described, and will provide for a base salary effective as of June
1, 1995, of $250,000 per annum, subject to an annual increase commencing as of
January 1, 1996 (which increase shall be prorated for the period between June
1, 1995 and December 31, 1995) equal to the greater of 4% per annum or the
increase in the cost of living. The 1995 Agreement for Bruce M. Goldberg will
extend the term of his employment until December 31, 2000, and will provide for
a base salary effective as of June 1, 1995, of $275,000 per annum, subject to
the same annual increase formula as for Paul Goldberg under his 1995 Agreement.
Under the 1995 Agreements, Paul Goldberg and Bruce M. Goldberg will each be
entitled to receive an annual cash bonus equal to 3% of the Company's pre-tax
income, before nonrecurring and extraordinary charges, in excess of $1,000,000
in any calendar year. Such annual bonus compensation for each of Paul Goldberg
and Bruce M. Goldberg will be limited in any year to an amount no greater than

The 1995 Employment Agreements, together with the new employment

described below, will provide for the granting of an aggregate of 1,000,000
stock options pursuant to the Option Plan as additional incentive compensation

(collectively, the "New Options"). Paul Goldberg and Bruce M. Goldberg will be
granted New Options covering 250,000 and 450,000 shares of Common Stock,
respectively, out of the aggregate of 1,000,000 New Options. All of the New
Options are to be granted on the earlier to occur of the date that the
registration statement for the Offering becomes effective, or June 1, 1995. The
New Options will be exercisable over a 10 year period from the date of grant,
subject to the vesting schedule set forth below and, in the case of Messrs.
Flanders and Gordon, generally maintaining as many of the New Options as
possible as incentive stock options. Each of the New Options will have an
exercise price equal to 100% of the fair market value of a share of Common
Stock on the date of grant. It is contemplated that, if the date of grant is
the effective date of the registration statement, the exercise price will be
the public offering price per share of the Common Stock offered pursuant to the
Offering. The New Options granted to each of the executive officers will vest
in no event later than 9 years from the date of grant, subject to earlier
vesting in the following percentage increments based upon the Company attaining
net earnings per share on a primary basis in any year from 1995 through 2000,
inclusive, in at least the following amounts:
PERCENTAGE OF NET EARNINGS
OPTIONS VESTED (%) PER SHARE ($)

100 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .38
The granting of the New Options will be void and a nullity in the
event that the Company does not obtain the approval of the Company's
shareholders to (i) the amendments to the Option Plan which are necessary to
permit the granting of the New Options, including the increase in the number of
shares reserved for issuance under the Option Plan to 3,250,000 shares (the
"Plan Amendments"), and (ii) an increase in the number of shares of Common
Stock authorized to be issued by the Company to enable the Company to have
sufficient shares of Common Stock available for, among other things, issuance
upon the exercise of the New Options. In the event that the shareholders of
the Company do not approve the Plan Amendments within the required period of 12
months from the Board's authorization thereof or do not approve the increase in
the number of authorized shares of Common Stock resulting in the New Options
automatically terminating, the annual cash bonus of each of Paul Goldberg and
Bruce M. Goldberg described above would be increased from 3% to 5% of the
Company's pre-tax income before nonrecurring and extraordinary charges.
Under Paul Goldberg's 1995 Agreement, he will be able to elect, in his
sole discretion, to retire at any time on or after January 1, 1999 (the

obligated to pay Paul Goldberg, and his spouse upon his death, a retirement
benefit of $100,000 per annum until the later of the death of Paul Goldberg or
his spouse, provide him and his spouse, without cost, until the later of their
respective deaths, at least the same level of medical and health insurance
benefits as was provided prior to his retirement and continue to pay the

The 1995 Agreements will also provide certain additional benefits to
each of Paul Goldberg and Bruce M. Goldberg, including participation in the
Company benefit plans, including the Deferred Compensation Plan and the 401(k)
Plan, and the continued use of a Company automobile. In addition, in the event
of the disability of Paul Goldberg, the Company will be obligated to continue
all compensation and other benefits due under his 1995 Agreement for the
shorter of two years or until January 1, 1999, and to thereafter provide the
retirement benefits described above. In the event of the disability of Bruce M.
Goldberg, the Company will be obligated to continue all compensation and other
benefits due under his 1995 Agreement for two years thereafter. Furthermore, in
addition to the life insurance policies covering the life of Paul Goldberg and
Bruce M. Goldberg described under "Summary Compensation Table" being funded by
the Company, the Company will agree to advance the Paul Goldberg Family
Insurance Trust or such other person designated by Paul Goldberg (i) each year
until the insured's death the amount of the annual premium for a new $1,000,000
face value insurance policy on Paul Goldberg's or his spouse's life and (ii)
each year until the later to die of Paul Goldberg or his spouse the amount of
the annual premium for a $1,000,000 face value second to die insurance policy
on the lives of Paul Goldberg and his spouse. Such annual advances (together
with interest to accrue thereon at the rate of 5% per annum) for each policy
will be secured by the respective insurance policy and the higher of the
advances (together with the interest accrued thereon) for and the cash
surrender value of the respective policy will be repaid to the Company upon the
death of Paul Goldberg, the death of his spouse or the death of Paul Goldberg
and his spouse (as applicable) out of the proceeds thereof.
The 1995 Agreements will also provide that, in the event of change in
control (as defined) of the Company, each of Paul Goldberg and Bruce M.
Goldberg shall have the option in his sole discretion to terminate his 1995
Agreement. In such event, Paul Goldberg would be entitled to elect (in lieu of
electing to continue to receive some or all of the compensation, payments and
benefits as and when due under the 1995 Agreement) to receive a lump sum
payment equal to the sum of (i) Paul Goldberg's compensation due through the
greater of the end of the term of the 1995 Agreement or three years after the
change in control, (ii) the present value (assuming a certain discount rate and
life expectancy) of the retirement payments payable to Paul Goldberg commencing
from the later of the end of the term or three years after the change in
control until his death, (iii) an amount sufficient to pay, until the later of
his or his spouse's death, the premium for at least the same level of health
insurance benefits as was provided before the change in control and (iv) an
amount sufficient to pay, until the later of his or his spouse's death (as
applicable), the premiums on the life insurance policies insuring his or his
spouse's lives as described in the previous paragraph. Similarly, under Bruce
M. Goldberg's 1995 Agreement, in the event of a change in control and Bruce M.
Goldberg's election to terminate his 1995 Employment Agreement, Bruce M.
Goldberg at his option will be entitled to elect to receive a lump sum payment
equal to his compensation due through the later of the end of the term of his
1995 Agreement or three years after the change in control or for such period to
continue to receive such compensation as and when due under the 1995 Agreement.
In addition, in the event of a change in control, all unvested options held by
Paul Goldberg or Bruce M. Goldberg, as well as any other executive officer,
would vest and become immediately exercisable. These change in control
provisions will replace the change in control provisions of the 1992 Agreements
as of June 1, 1995.
