Products Southwest,  L.P., a Texas limited partnership ("Amherst"),  and Amherst

Agreement"),  pursuant to which Mr. Long has agreed to vote his shares of common
stock of the Company, representing approximately 50.1% of the outstanding common
stock  of the  Company,  in favor  of  approval  and  adoption  of the  Purchase
Agreement.

         Also on March 17, 2000, the Company  issued a press release  announcing
that it had consummated a transaction with Communications  World  International,
Inc., in which  Commworld  will  purchase  certain  assets and ongoing  business
operations of the Company's telecom systems division,  which the Company expects
to take a loss on the discontinuation of business in the fourth quarter of 1999.
