minimum number of shares required to be present at the meeting for the
meeting to be properly held under our bylaws and New York law. The
presence, in person or by proxy, of a majority of the votes entitled to
be cast at the meeting will constitute a quorum at the meeting. A proxy
submitted by a shareholder may indicate that all or a portion of the
shares represented by the proxy are not being voted
(&lsquo;&lsquo;shareholder withholding&rsquo;&rsquo;) with respect to a
particular matter. Similarly, a broker may not be permitted to vote
stock (&lsquo;&lsquo;broker non-vote&rsquo;&rsquo;) held in street name
on a particular matter in the absence of instructions from the
beneficial owner of the stock. The shares subject to a proxy which are
not being voted on a particular matter because of either shareholder
withholding or broker non-vote will not be considered shares present
and entitled to vote on that matter. These shares, however, may be
considered present and entitled to vote on other matters and will count
for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum if the shares are
being voted with respect to any matter at the meeting. If the proxy
indicates that the shares are not being voted on any matter at the
meeting, the shares will not be counted for purposes of determining the
presence of a quorum. Abstentions are voted neither
&lsquo;&lsquo;for&rsquo;&rsquo; nor &lsquo;&lsquo;against&rsquo;&rsquo;
a matter, but are counted in the determination of a quorum.</p>

election of directors requires a plurality vote of the votes cast at
the meeting. &lsquo;&lsquo;Plurality&rsquo;&rsquo; means that the
individuals who receive the largest number of votes cast
&lsquo;&lsquo;FOR&rsquo;&rsquo; are elected as directors. Consequently,
any shares not voted &lsquo;&lsquo;FOR&rsquo;&rsquo; a particular
nominee, whether as a result of a direction of the shareholder to
withhold authority, abstentions or a broker non-vote, will not be
counted in the nominee&rsquo;s favor.</p>

vote will assist us in preparing for the meeting. Date, sign and return
the accompanying proxy in the postage-prepaid envelope enclosed for
that purpose. You can specify your choices by marking the appropriate
boxes on the proxy card. If you attend the meeting, you may deliver
your completed proxy card in person or fill out and return a ballot

nominating committee comprised of Messrs.  Paulick (chairman),
McSweeney and Rosenfeld, each an independent director under the
American Stock Exchange listing standards. The nominating committee is
responsible for overseeing the selection of persons to be nominated to
serve on our board of directors. The nominating committee considers
persons identified by its members, management, shareholders, investment
bankers and others.</p>

adopted a written charter and established guidelines for selecting
nominees and a method by which shareholders may propose to the
nominating committee candidates for selection as nominees for
directors. The nominating committee charter and guidelines were filed
as an exhibit to our Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB for the quarter

generally provide that persons to be nominated should be actively
engaged in business endeavors, have an understanding of financial
statements, corporate budgeting and capital structure, be familiar with
the requirements of a publicly traded company, be familiar with
industries relevant to our business endeavors, be willing to devote
significant time to the oversight duties of the board of directors of a
public company, and be able to promote a diversity of views based on
the person&rsquo;s education, experience and professional employment.
The nominating committee evaluates each individual in the context of
the board as a whole, with the objective of recommending a group of
persons that can best implement our business plan, perpetuate our
business and represent shareholder interests. The nominating committee
may require certain skills or attributes, such as financial or
accounting experience, to meet specific board needs that arise from
time to time. The nominating committee does not distinguish among
nominees recommended by shareholders and other persons.</p>

committee is currently comprised of Messrs. Providenti (chairman),
McSweeney and Paulick. All of the members of the audit committee are
&lsquo;&lsquo;independent directors&rsquo;&rsquo; and are
&lsquo;&lsquo;financially literate&rsquo;&rsquo; as defined under the
American Stock Exchange listing standards. The current Amex listing
standards define an &lsquo;&lsquo;independent director&rsquo;&rsquo;
generally as a person, other than an officer of the company, who does
not have a relationship with the company that would interfere with the
director&rsquo;s exercise of independent judgment. The Amex&rsquo;s
listing standards define &lsquo;&lsquo;financially
literate&rsquo;&rsquo; as being able to read and understand fundamental
financial statements, including a company&rsquo;s balance sheet,
income statement and cash flow statement.</p>

S-K) serving on its audit committee, such &lsquo;&lsquo;audit committee
financial expert&rsquo;&rsquo; being A.C. Providenti. The board of

Management represented to the audit committee that the company&rsquo;s

reviewed and discussed the consolidated financial statements with
management and the independent registered public accounting firm. The
audit committee discussed with the independent registered public

company&rsquo;s independent registered public accounting firm also
provided the audit committee with the written disclosures required by
independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independence Discussions
with Audit Committees) and the audit committee discussed with the
independent registered public accounting firm and management the
auditor&rsquo;s independence, including with regard to fees for
services rendered during the fiscal year and for all other professional
services rendered by the company&rsquo;s independent registered public
accounting firm. In reliance on these reviews and discussions and the
report of the independent registered public accounting firm, the audit
committee recommended to the board of directors, and the has board
approved, that the audited consolidated financial statements be
included in the company&rsquo;s annual report on Form 10-K for the

February  2005, the company entered into amended and restated
employment agreements with each of Edward Fred, the company&rsquo;s
chief executive officer, and Vincent Palazzolo, the company&rsquo;s
chief financial officer. The amended agreements were the result of the
decision of the company&rsquo;s board of directors to redesign the
bonus structure for the company&rsquo;s senior executive officers to
be based on the company&rsquo;s growth in revenues and earnings
instead of a straight percentage of the company&rsquo;s net
income.</p>

<font style="font-weight: normal; font-style: italic">Chief Executive Officer.</font>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In addition to
incorporating the company&rsquo;s revised executive bonus structure,
which was implemented beginning with the year ended December
31,  2005, Mr.  Fred&rsquo;s amended employment agreement
extended his employment term for two additional years from
December  31,  2005 until December  31,  2007.
A 6% salary increase has been implemented in each of 2006 and
2007. For the year ended December  31,  2004, Mr.
Fred received an annual bonus equal to 4% of the
company&rsquo;s consolidated net income, which was the bonus
calculation in Mr.  Fred&rsquo;s prior agreement. For the year
ended December  31,  2005 and the years ending
December  31,  2006 and 2007, Mr.  Fred is eligible
to receive an annual bonus based on changes in the company&rsquo;s
revenues and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization (&lsquo;&lsquo;EBITDA&rsquo;&rsquo;) from the prior year.
25% of the bonus amount is determined by revenues and 75%
by EBITDA. To the extent that a 10% annual increase in revenues
and EBITDA from the prior year is achieved, Mr.  Fred is entitled
to a target annual bonus equal to 65% of his annual base salary.
Should the revenue and/or EBITDA levels fall short of or exceed a
10% increase from the prior year, Mr.  Fred&rsquo;s bonus
will decrease or increase by predetermined percentages. If there is
more than a 15% annual decrease in EBITDA or revenues, no EBITDA
bonus or revenue bonus will be paid. If there is an annual increase of
100% or more in EBITDA or revenues, Mr.
Fred&rsquo;s  EBITDA bonus or revenue bonus will be 75%
more than the target annual bonus. Both bonuses will be adjusted pro
rata if EBITDA and/or revenues fall in between two designated
percentages. The first $140,000 of bonus, if any, will be paid in cash
and the balance will be paid half in cash and half in shares of the
company&rsquo;s common stock. The shares of common stock will be
valued at the average of the last sale prices of the common stock for
five consecutive trading days ending two trading days before issuance.
Based on this revised bonus structure, Mr.  Fred did not receive
a bonus for the year ended December  31,  2005.</p>

<font style="font-weight: normal; font-style: italic">Chief Financial Officer.</font>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In addition to incorporating
the company&rsquo;s revised executive bonus structure, Mr.
Palazzolo&rsquo;s amended employment agreement reflects a 5%
salary increase, which was implemented in August  2005. For the
year ended December  31,  2004, Mr.  Palazzolo
received an annual bonus equal to 1% of the company&rsquo;s
consolidated net income, which was the bonus calculation in Mr.
Palazzolo&rsquo;s prior agreement. For the year ended December
31,  2005 and the year ending December  31,  2006,
Mr.  Palazzolo is eligible to receive an annual bonus based on
changes in the company&rsquo;s revenues and EBITDA from the prior
year. Mr.  Palazzolo&rsquo;s bonus structure is identical to
Mr.  Fred&rsquo;s except that to the extent that a 10%
annual increase in revenues and EBITDA from the prior year is achieved,
Mr.  Palazzolo will be entitled to a target annual bonus equal to
45% of his annual base salary (as opposed to Mr.
Fred&rsquo;s 65%). Another difference from Mr.
Fred&rsquo;s bonus structure is that the first $75,000 of Mr.
Palazzolo&rsquo;s bonus (instead of $140,000 for Mr.  Fred) will
be paid in cash and the balance will be paid half in cash and half in
shares of the Company&rsquo;s common stock. Based on this revised
bonus structure, Mr.  Palazzolo did not receive a bonus for the
year ended December  31,  2005.</p>

February  2005, we entered into an amended and restated
employment agreement with Edward J. Fred, which provides for Mr.
Fred to serve as our President and Chief Executive Officer until
December  31,  2007. Mr.  Fred&rsquo;s annual base
salary was $252,000 for 2005 and increased to $267,120 on
January  1,  2006 and will increase to $283,150 on
January  1,  2007. In addition, Mr.  Fred is eligible
to receive an annual bonus, calculated based on changes in our revenues
and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization
(&lsquo;&lsquo;EBITDA&rsquo;&rsquo;) from the prior year. 25% of
the bonus amount is determined by revenues and 75% by EBITDA. To
the extent that a 10% annual increase in revenues and EBITDA
from the prior year is achieved, Mr.  Fred is entitled to a
target annual bonus equal to 65% of his annual base salary.
Should the revenue and/or EBITDA levels fall short of or exceed a
10% increase from the prior year, Mr.  Fred&rsquo;s bonus
will decrease or increase by predetermined percentages. If there is
more than a 15% annual decrease in EBITDA or revenues, no EBITDA
bonus or revenue bonus will be paid. If there is an annual increase of
100% or more in EBITDA or revenues, Mr.
Fred&rsquo;s  EBITDA bonus or revenue bonus will be 75%
more than the target annual bonus. Both bonuses will be adjusted pro
rata if EBITDA and/or revenues fall in between two designated
percentages. The first $140,000 of bonus will be paid in cash and the
balance will be paid half in cash and half in shares of our common
stock. The shares of common stock will be valued at the average of the
last sale prices of the common stock for five consecutive trading days
ending two trading days before issuance. For the year ended
December  31,  2005, Mr.  Fred did not receive a
bonus. Pursuant to the terms of Mr.  Fred&rsquo;s employment
agreement, if a change of control (as such term is defined in the
agreement) occurs prior to a termination by us without
&lsquo;&lsquo;cause&rsquo;&rsquo; or by Mr.  Fred for
&lsquo;&lsquo;good reason&rsquo;&rsquo; (as such terms are defined in
the agreement), we must pay him a lump sum equal to three times the
total compensation (including salary and bonus) earned by him during
the last full calendar year of his employment. Mr.  Fred also has
agreed not to compete with us during the term of his employment and for
two years thereafter.</p>

Mr.  August&rsquo;s employment agreement, as amended, effective
January  2005, he became our chairman emeritus and will serve in
that position until December  31,  2006 and receive an
annual base salary of $60,000. For the year ended December
31,  2004, Mr.  August received an annual bonus equal to
2% of our consolidated net income. Mr.  August was not
entitled to receive any bonus for the year ended December
31,  2005 and is not entitled to receive a bonus for the year
ending December  31,  2006. Mr.  August is required
to devote only such time to our business as he, in his sole discretion,
deems necessary. Pursuant to the terms of Mr.  August&rsquo;s
employment agreement, if a change of control (as such term is defined
in the agreement) occurs prior to a termination by us without
&lsquo;&lsquo;cause&rsquo;&rsquo; or by Mr.  August for
&lsquo;&lsquo;good reason&rsquo;&rsquo; (as such terms are defined in
the agreement), we must pay him a lump sum equal to three times the
total compensation (including salary and bonus) earned by him during
the last full calendar year of his employment. Mr.  August has
agreed not to compete with us during the term of his employment and for
five years thereafter. As consideration for his agreement not to
compete with us for an extended period of time, we agreed to pay
Mr.  August $300,000 in five, equal annual installments of
$60,000 commencing on January  1,  2007.</p>

purpose of offering senior management a deferred compensation death
benefit plan that would provide a tax-free benefit for senior
management and which would be tax-neutral to us. Pursuant to the plan,
we made a non-interest bearing loan to Arthur August in the amount of
$150,000, which Mr.  August used to purchase a Greit Plan. This
plan has since been terminated and the surrender value of the Greit
Plan has been returned to Mr.  August. Mr.  August has
placed the proceeds from the surrender value in an annuity in our name,
which will appreciate to at least $150,000 by September  2011 in
order to repay the loan made to him. Mr.  August also assigned to
us an insurance policy on his life in the amount of $150,000 and agreed
to maintain it until the date upon which the annuity matures.
Accordingly, the loan to Mr.  August will be repaid upon the
maturity date of the annuity or upon the death of Mr.  August,
whichever occurs first.</p>
