Only holders of record of Common Stock and Series B Preferred Stock (the "stockholders") as of the close of business on April 26, 2000 (the "Record Date") are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting. At the close of business on such date, the Company had 3,901,431 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding held by approximately 54 stockholders of record and 10,400 shares of Series B Preferred Stock issued and outstanding held by seven stockholders of record. Holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote on each matter to be considered and voted upon at the Annual Meeting for each share of Common Stock held of record as of the Record Date. Holders of Series B Preferred Stock are entitled with respect to each matter to be considered and voted upon at the Annual Meeting to cast the number of votes equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which such Series B Preferred shares can be converted. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock currently is convertible into 100 shares of Common Stock. Stockholders may not cumulate their votes for the election of directors. Shares represented by a properly executed proxy, if such proxy is received in time and not revoked, will be voted at the Annual Meeting in accordance with the instructions indicated in such proxy. IF NO INSTRUCTIONS ARE INDICATED, SHARES REPRESENTED BY PROXY WILL BE VOTED "FOR" THE ELECTION AS DIRECTORS OF THE COMPANY OF THE FIVE NOMINEES NAMED BELOW TO SERVE UNTIL THE 2001 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS, AND, IN THE DISCRETION OF THE PROXYHOLDERS, AS TO ANY OTHER MATTER WHICH MAY PROPERLY BE PRESENTED AT THE ANNUAL MEETING. This Proxy Statement and the accompanying proxy card are being mailed to Company stockholders beginning on or about May 10, 2000. Any stockholder who returns the accompanying proxy may revoke it prior to its use. A proxy can be revoked: (i) by an instrument of revocation delivered prior to the Annual Meeting to the Secretary of the Company, (ii) by a duly executed proxy bearing a later date or time than the date or time of the proxy being revoked, or (iii) at the Annual Meeting if the stockholder is present and elects to vote in person. Mere attendance at the Annual Meeting will not serve to revoke the proxy. All written notices of revocation of proxies should be addressed to the Company's offices, Attention: Corporate Secretary. Any stockholder wishing to name as his or her proxy someone other than those designated on the enclosed proxy card may do so by crossing out the names of the two designated proxyholders and inserting the name(s) of the person(s) he or she wishes to have act as his or her proxy. No more than two persons should be so designated. In such a case, it will be necessary that the proxy be delivered by the stockholder to the person(s) named and that such person(s) named be present and vote at the Annual Meeting. Proxy cards on which other proxyholders have been named should not be mailed to the Company. The presence at the Annual Meeting, either in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting will be necessary to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. Abstentions and so-called broker "non-votes" will be counted for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum, but will have no effect upon the outcome of the election of directors. The Company's principal executive offices are located at 1090 King Georges Post Road, Suite 301, Edison, New Jersey 08837. The telephone number of the Company at such office is (732) 738-3990.

In conjunction with a voluntary reduction in his base compensation, beginning November 1998, to $85,000 per year, Dr. Gordon was issued a total of 42,500 options to purchase Common Stock of the Company.

The agreement also provides for payment of up to one year's total compensation if Dr. Gordon's employment with the Company is terminated for any reason other than for cause, death or disability. The new agreement can be terminated for cause and contains proprietary information, invention and non-competition provisions which prohibit disclosure of any of the Company's proprietary information and preclude Dr. Gordon's competition with the Company for a period of two years after the termination of his employment with the Company.
