ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "SEC"). Officers, directors and greater than ten percent shareholders are
required by SEC regulation to furnish the Company with copies of all Section

furnished to the Company, or written representations that no Forms 5 were

STOCK OPTIONS
In order to attract and retain persons necessary for the business of
the Company, the Company adopted the 1997 Stock Option Plan (the "Option Plan")
covering up to 750,000 shares, pursuant to which officers, directors and key
employees of the Company and consultants to the Company are eligible to receive
incentive and/or non-incentive stock options. The Option Plan, which expires ten
years from the date of its adoption, is administered by the Board of Directors
or the Compensation Committee. The selection of participants, allotment of
shares, determination of price and other conditions relating to the grant of
options is determined by the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee.
Incentive stock options granted under the Option Plan are exercisable for a
period of up to 10 years from the date of grant at an exercise price which is
not less than the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of the
grant, except that the term of an incentive stock option granted under the
Option Plan to a stockholder owning more than 10% of the outstanding Common
Stock may not exceed five years and its exercise price may be not less than 110%
of the fair market value of the shares on the date of the grant.
Under the Option Plan, each director who is not an a full-time employee
of the Company, immediately upon first taking office, is granted options to
purchase 6,000 shares of Common Stock exercisable at the fair market value of
such shares on the date of grant. Options for 3,000 shares covered thereby are
exercisable immediately and options for 3,000 shares become exercisable on the
first anniversary of the date of grant. Subsequently, the Option Plan provides
for annual grants of options to purchase 3,000 shares of Common Stock upon
reelection as a director of the Company. At the Company's annual meeting on
January 12, 1999, each director was granted options to purchase 3,000 shares of
Common Stock at $0.44 per share.
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
There is no employment agreement between the Company and Mr. Lampen,
the named executive officer.
COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS
The Company pays each director who is not a full-time employee of the
Company an annual retainer of $5,000, payable quarterly, and reimburses the
directors for reasonable travel expenses incurred in connection with their
activities on behalf of the Company. See "Stock Options."

ITEM 12. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
On November 5, 1998, the Company contributed the non-cash assets and
certain liabilities of its on-line data delivery service business (the "PC411
Service") to ThinkDirectMarketing.com Inc. ("ThinkDirectMarketing.com"),
formerly known as Digital Asset Management, Inc. ThinkDirectMarketing.com was a
newly formed corporation organized by Dean Eaker, the former President, Chief
Executive Officer and a director of the Company, and Edward Fleiss, the former
Vice President and Chief Technology Officer of the Company, to continue to
operate and develop the PC411 Service. The Company received preferred stock
representing an initial 42.5% interest in ThinkDirectMarketing.com in exchange
for the contribution of the PC411 Service. Currently, the Company has the right
to designate one of the five members of ThinkDirectMarketing.com's Board of
Directors and Mr. Kirkland serves as a member of ThinkDirectMarketing.com's
Board of Directors. Acxiom Corporation ("Acxiom") purchased preferred stock
representing a 42.5% interest in ThinkDirectMarketing.com for $1,250,000 and
will initially designate a majority of the Board of Directors of
ThinkDirectMarketing.com. ThinkDirectMarketing.com's management, including
Messrs. Eaker and Fleiss, acquired an initial 15% interest in
ThinkDirectMarketing.com with options to increase their ownership position to
50% upon satisfaction of certain operational and financial benchmarks over a
three-year period. The Company's interest in ThinkDirectMarketing.com has since
been diluted to approximately 10% on a fully diluted basis as a result of
subsequent financings.
The Company agreed, under certain conditions, to fund up to $200,000 of
an $800,000 working capital line to be provided to ThinkDirectMarketing.com by
Acxiom, the Company and Dean R. Eaker, and funded $100,000 in the second quarter
of 1999. The Company agreed in July 1999 to extend the maturity of its working
capital line from June 30, 1999 to August 31, 1999 and was released from any
further obligation to fund additional amounts under the working capital line.
Effective with the closing of the ThinkDirectMarketing.com transaction,
Dean R. Eaker and Edward A. Fleiss resigned their positions with the Company and
entered into an agreement with the Company terminating their employment
agreements. The Board of Directors of the Company elected Richard J. Lampen, a
director of the Company, as President and Chief Executive Officer, and J. Bryant
Kirkland III, Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, as a
director. Messrs. Lampen and Kirkland also serve as executive officers of NVC.
