      (1) The potential realizable value columns of the table illustrate values
      that might be realized upon exercise of the options immediately prior to
      their expiration, assuming the Company's Common Stock appreciates at the
      compounded rates specified over the term of the options. These numbers do
      not take into account provisions of certain options providing for
      termination of the option following termination of employment or
      nontransferability of the options and do not make any provision for taxes
      associated with exercise. Because actual gains will depend upon, among
      other things, future performance of the Common Stock, there can be no
      assurance that the amounts reflected in this table will be achieved.

       Director Compensation

           Non-employee directors currently do not receive cash compensation for
       serving on the Board of Directors. Non-employee directors are eligible to
       receive options under the Company's 1997 Stock Option Plan. Mr. Leeds
       received options to purchase 12,500 shares during the year ended October
       31, 2000. It is expected that non-employee directors will receive a cash
       fee for serving on the Board for the year ending October 31, 2001.

     Our principal executive and administrative office, located at 575 Broadway,

five-year lease with 575 Broadway Corporation, a company controlled by Peter M.

believe that the terms of the lease are no less favorable than those that could
