The reorganized company, which was established in the fall of 1990, was called
               TEC Network, Inc. It was a communications group consisting of TEC Network,
               Inc., and four separate corporations: Telephonic Equipment Corporation, ComServ
               International,  TEC Network and ComFinance. Sales were generated in England,

               Poland, Japan, Romania and the USA.

               TEC Network, Inc.’s executive management  team was:

                   •  Henry McNaulty, Chairman  of the Board

                   •  Gary Sprouse, President/CEO


                   •  Joseph O’Connor, Vice President

                   •  Michael  Clark, Chief Financial  Officer


               Other key management  included:

                   •  Jon Giberson, President, ComServ International

                   •  Mr. Pat Martin, VP Sales & Marketing,  TEC Network, Inc.


               Telephonic Equipment Corporation designed, engineered, and manufactured all the
               call processing equipment. ComServ provided sales and marketing  of call
               processing equipment. ComFinance performed all financing alternatives  for
               ComServ and TEC Network products. TEC Network offered all the long-distance
               telephone services.


               The call and voice processing equipment market was $1.5B in 1989. This new
               firm, TEC Network, Inc., offered basic phone services, basic telephone systems
               and peripheral equipment, such as call sequencers, automatic call distributors,
               automated operators, conference bridges, voice mail systems, facsimile machines
               and call accounting systems. Any business with six or more incoming telephone
               lines were prospects for some type of peripheral product. All the products were
               marketed through a network of distributors, dealers, and the Bell  system operating

               companies, plus many independent telephone companies, telephone equipment
               supply houses, private label distributors and various international  brokers and
               agents. I garnered sales immediately  in Singapore, Chile, New Zealand, Australia
               and the United Kingdom. TEC’s strong background in research and development
