We also have a Compensation Committee whose members currently are Messrs. Keane, Graves and Sarnoff. The Audit Committee meets with management and with our independent certified public accountants to determine the adequacy of our internal controls and other financial matters. The Compensation Committee reviews general policy matters relating to compensation and benefits of our employees and officers. The following table provides the various fees and out-of-pocket costs billed by BDO Seidman, LLP for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2001: FINANCIAL INFORMATION SYSTEMS DESIGN AUDIT FEES AND IMPLEMENTATION FEES ALL OTHER FEES ----------- ----------------------------------------- -------------- $ 175,000 --- $ 126,000 The Audit Committee of the Board has considered whether the provision by BDO Seidman, LLP of non-audit services included in the fees set forth in the table above under "All Other Fees" is compatible with maintaining the independence of BDO Seidman, LLP. REPORT OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE OVERVIEW AND PHILOSOPHY. The Compensation Committee (the "Committee") of our Board of Directors regularly reviews all executive officer pay plans and develops recommendations for stock option grants for approval by the Board of Directors. These include the following major compensation elements: base salaries, annual cash incentives, stock options and various benefit plans. Through December 2001, the Committee was composed of Mr. Sarnoff and Mr. Alizadeh, both of whom are "independent" directors, and Mr. Graves, our CEO. In January 2002, Mr. Keane replaced Mr. Alizadeh on the committee. It is the Committee's objective that executive compensation be directly related to the achievement of our planned goals, and enhancement in corporate and share values. The Committee recognizes that the industry sector in which we operate is both highly competitive and is challenged by significant legal and regulatory uncertainty, with the result that there is substantial demand for 5 qualified, experienced executive personnel. The Committee considers it crucial that we be assured of retaining and rewarding our top caliber executives who are essential to the attainment of our ambitious long-term goals. For these reasons, the Committee believes our executive compensation arrangements must remain competitive with those offered by other companies of similar size, scope, performance levels and complexity of operations. CASH COMPENSATION. The Committee believes that annual cash compensation should be paid commensurate with attained performance. For these reasons, our executive cash compensation consists of "fixed" base compensation (salary) and variable incentive compensation (annual bonus). Base salaries for executive officers are established considering a number of factors, including the executive's individual performance and measurable contribution to our success, and pay levels of similar positions with comparable companies in the industry. The Committee supports our compensation philosophy of moderate fixed compensation for elements such as base salary. Base salary decisions are made as part of our structured annual review process. STOCK OPTIONS. The Committee recommends executive stock options under our stock option plans to foster executive officer ownership and to provide direct linkage with stockholder interests. When recommending the grant of stock options, the Committee considers the number and terms of options previously granted, industry practices, the optionee's level of responsibility, and assumed potential stock value in the future. The exercise prices of stock options granted to executive officers are equal to the market value of the stock on the date of grant. Therefore, stock options are intended to provide an incentive to executives to maximize our profitability which ordinarily, over time, should be reflected in the price of our stock. BENEFITS. We provide benefits to the named executive officers that are generally available to all of our employees. For fiscal year 2001, the amount of executive level benefits and prerequisites, as determined in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to executive compensation, did not exceed 10% of total salary and bonus for any executive officer. CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER PERFORMANCE AND COMPENSATION. In setting Mr. Graves' base salary for fiscal 2001, the Committee took note of our rapid growth in revenue and earnings in fiscal 2001. Mr. Graves' compensation for fiscal 2001 was $298,621, which reflects an August 2001 increase in his base salary to an annual rate of $350,000. Mr. Graves participates to a limited extent in the Committee's deliberations on his compensation. His participation generally consists of answering questions from the Committee regarding his goals and objectives for the year and his observations on the peer group to which his compensation is compared. However, Mr. Graves is not present during that portion of the Committee's meeting where his performance is evaluated and his compensation determined. It is the opinion of the Committee that these compensation policies and structures provide the necessary discipline to properly align our corporate economic performance and the interest of our stockholders with progressive and competitive executive compensation practices in an equitable manner. THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE: Ali P. Alizadeh Thomas W. Sarnoff Gordon T. Graves COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION IN COMPENSATION DECISIONS Mr. Graves is our Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer. 6 REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE The Audit Committee acts under a written charter adopted and approved by our board of directors on June, 15, 2000. A copy of the Audit Committee Charter is attached to this Proxy Statement as Appendix C. It is not the responsibility of the Audit Committee to plan or conduct audits or to determine that our financial statements are in all material respects complete and accurate in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. This is the responsibility of our management and the independent auditors. It is also not the responsibility of the Audit Committee to assure compliance by us with laws and regulations. Based on the Audit Committee's: o review of our audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2001; o discussions with our management regarding our audited financial statements; o receipt of written disclosures and the letter from our independent auditors required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1; o discussions with our independent auditors regarding the auditor's independence and the matters required to be discussed by the Statement on Auditing Standards 61; and o other matters the Audit Committee deemed relevant and appropriate, the Audit Committee recommended to our board of directors that the audited financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2001 be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended September 30, 2001 for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. THE AUDIT COMMITTEE: Ali P. Alizadeh Martin A. Keane John M. Winkelman 7 PROPOSAL TWO APPROVAL AND RATIFICATION OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS The board of directors has appointed BDO Seidman, LLP, as our independent certified public accountants, to audit our books and records for the current fiscal year. The board recommends that the shareholders ratify such appointment. Representatives of BDO Seidman, LLP, are expected to be available at the annual meeting to respond to appropriate questions and will be given the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so.

The Board has subsequently increased the total number of shares reserved for issuance to 1,750,000. At March 31, 2002, options to acquire a total of 824,625 shares have been granted. STOCK OPTIONS. Options granted under the Plan may be either incentive stock options or non-qualified stock options. All of the stock options granted under the Plan have been non-qualified stock options. The administrator of the Plan is given broad discretion in setting the price and other terms of stock options subject to the following: o the option price may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the stock on the date of the grant with respect to incentive stock options and 85% of the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant with respect to non-qualified stock options; o the option may not be exercisable more than 10 years after the date of grant; o stock options may be exercised for cash unless the administrator permits the option to be exercised for stock; and 8 o subject to several limitations the administrator may approve making loans to participants for the exercise of stock options. NON-TRANSFERABILITY. Unless otherwise determined by the administrator, stock options will be non-transferable. AMENDMENT. The Board may amend or terminate the Plan (including amendments which increase the cost of the Plan) but no amendment or termination shall affect or impair the participant's rights under a previously granted stock option without the consent of the participant.

Change of control, as defined in the agreements, means any merger or consolidation, sale of assets, dissolution or the acquisition by any person of at least 51% of our voting stock. Our stock option agreement with Clifton E. Lind also provides for full vesting of all unvested shares subject to his option upon the termination by Mr. Lind of his employment for good reason. Good reason, as defined in the agreement, relates to a diminution of Mr. Lind's salary, position or responsibilities within our company. Our agreement with Mr. Lind also provides for acceleration of vesting as to all unvested shares that would otherwise vest through the second anniversary of our termination of Mr. Lind without cause or Mr. Lind's termination of his employment without good reason. Other Stock Options In addition to options granted under our stock option plans, from time to time we also make option grants to newly-hired employees as an inducement to provide services to us.

Director Compensation Plan On September 21, 2001, we adopted a plan to compensate the members of our Board of Directors for their services as directors, including serving on committees of the Board. Prior to that time we had compensated our 14 directors by the grant of stock options on an ad hoc basis and did not provide any cash compensation. Under the Director Compensation Plan, each of our directors, including directors who are also regular full-time employees, will receive $18,000 per year. In addition, each director will receive $500 for each Board meeting attended in person, $250 for each Board meeting attended by telephone, $250 for each committee meeting attended in person and $150 for each committee meeting attended by telephone. On an annual basis, each sitting director will receive an option grant for 15,000 shares of common stock that will vest after one year. Newly elected or appointed directors will receive an initial grant for 30,000 shares that will vest over two years. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS GAMEBAY.COM In December 1999, our wholly-owned subsidiary, GameBay.com, Inc. issued 71% of its equity securities to a group of investors for $6.5 million. In connection with that transaction, we granted GameBay a license to use our intellectual property for Internet-based non-gaming purposes. In consideration of the license grant, we received a one-time fee of $1.0 million, of which $400,000 was evidenced by a note maturing in December 2000. We also received a royalty right of 5% of GameBay's future gross revenue. We elected to defer recognition of the $400,000 GameBay note receivable into income until payment was received. We have not received any royalty payments to date. As of September 30, 2000, the value of our investment in GameBay.com was reduced to zero. During the quarter ended March 31, 2001, we determined that ultimate collection of the $400,000 note receivable was doubtful, and accordingly, the note was offset against the related deferred revenue. GameBay has suspended operations and is presently inactive. Gordon T. Graves, one of our Directors and our Chief Executive Officer, is a Director of GameBay. Laurence E. Kaplan, who was elected as one of our Directors in November 2000, and resigned as a director in May 2001, is also a Director of GameBay.

Lind, our President and Chief Operating Officer, exercised his option to purchase 427,500 shares of our Common Stock by delivering his promissory note as permitted by the President's Stock Option Plan of 1998. The note is fully recourse to Mr. Lind's other personal assets. In March 2002, we advanced $355,000 to Mr. Lind to fund his income tax liability related to the option exercise. At March 31, 2002, we had the following notes receivable from the following officers and directors for stock purchases and related tax liability.

Officers (including officers who are directors of the Company), employees of the Company, and consultants and advisors to the Company who are responsible for or contribute to the management, growth and/or profitability of the A-2 business of the Company shall be eligible to be granted Stock Options. The Participants under the Plan shall be selected from time to time by the Administrator, in its sole discretion, from among the Eligible Employees, consultants and advisors to the Company recommended by the senior management of the Company, and the Administrator shall determine, in its sole discretion, the number of shares covered by each award. SECTION 5. STOCK OPTIONS. Any Stock Option granted under the Plan shall be in such form as the Administrator may from time to time approve, and the provisions of Stock Option awards need not be the same with respect to each optionee. Recipients of Stock Options shall enter into a subscription and/or award agreement with the Company, in such form as the Administrator shall determine which agreement shall set forth, among other things, the exercise price of the option, the term of the option and provisions regarding exercisability of the option granted thereunder. The Stock Options granted under the Plan may be of two types: (i) Incentive Stock Options and (ii) Non-Qualified Stock Options. The Administrator shall have the authority to grant any Eligible Employee Incentive Stock Options, Non-Qualified Stock Options, or both types of Stock Options. Consultants and advisors may only be granted Non-Qualified Stock Options. To the extent that any Stock Option does not qualify as an Incentive Stock Option, it shall constitute a separate Non-Qualified Stock Option. More than one option may be granted to the same optionee and be outstanding concurrently hereunder. Stock Options granted under the Plan shall be subject to the following terms and conditions and shall contain such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, as the Administrator shall deem desirable: (1) OPTION PRICE. The option price per share of Stock purchasable under a Stock Option shall be determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion at the time of grant but shall not, (i) in the case of Incentive Stock Options, be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Stock on such date, (ii) in the case of Non-Qualified Stock Options, be less than 85% of the Fair Market Value of the Stock on such date, and (iii) in any event, be less than the par value of the Stock. If an employee owns or is deemed to own (by reason of the attribution rules applicable under Section 425(d) of the Code) more than 10% of the combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent Corporation and an Incentive Stock Option is granted to such employee, the option price of such Incentive Stock Option (to the extent required by the Code at the time of grant) shall be no less than 110% of the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the date such Incentive Stock Option is granted. (2) OPTION TERM. The term of each Stock Option shall be fixed by the Administrator, but no Stock Option shall be exercisable more than ten years after the date such Stock Option is granted; provided, however, that if an employee owns or is deemed to own (by reason of the attribution rules of Section 425(d) of the Code) more than 10% of the combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent Corporation and an Incentive Stock Option is granted to such employee, the term of such Incentive Stock Option (to the extent required by the Code at the time of grant) shall be no more than five years from the date of grant. (3) EXERCISABILITY. Stock Options shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions as shall be determined by the Administrator at or after grant. The Administrator may provide, in its discretion, that any Stock Option shall be exercisable only in installments, and the Administrator may waive such installment exercise provisions at any time in whole or in part based on such factors as the Administrator may determine, in its sole discretion. (4) METHOD OF EXERCISE. Subject to Section 5(3) above, Stock Options may be exercised in whole or in part at any time during the option period, by giving written notice of exercise to the Company satisfying the number of shares to be purchased, accompanied by payment in full of the purchase price in cash or in such other form of consideration as is set forth in the related Stock Option agreement as determined by the Administrator. As determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion, payment in whole or in part may also be made in the form of unrestricted Stock already owned by the optionee; provided, however, that the right to make payment in the form of already owned shares may be authorized only at the time of grant. An optionee shall generally have the rights to dividends and any other rights of a stockholder with respect to the Stock subject to the A-3 option only after the optionee has given written notice of exercise, has paid in full for such shares, and, if requested, has given the representation described in paragraph (1) of Section 10. The Administrator may require the voluntary surrender of all or a portion of any Stock Option granted under the Plan as a condition precedent to the grant of a new Stock Option. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, such new Stock Option shall be exercisable at the price, during such period and on such other terms and conditions as are specified by the Administrator at the time the new Stock Option is granted. Upon their surrender, Stock Options shall be canceled and the shares previously subject to such canceled Stock Options shall again be available for grants of Stock Options and other awards hereunder. (5) LOANS. The Company may make loans available to Stock Option holders in connection with the exercise of outstanding options granted under the Plan, as the Administrator, in its discretion, may determine; provided, however, that the right to make payment in the form of loans may be authorized only at the time of grant and the terms of such loans shall be specified in the related Stock Option agreement. Such loans shall (i) be evidenced by promissory notes entered into by the Stock Option holders in favor of the Company, (ii) be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 5(5) and such other terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the Plan, as the Administrator shall determine, (iii) bear interest, if any, at such rate as the Administrator shall determine, and (iv) be subject to Board approval (or to approval by the Administrator to the extent the Board may delegate such authority). In no event may the principal amount of any such loan exceed the sum of (x) the exercise price less the-par value of the shares of Stock covered by the option, or portion thereof, exercised by the holder, and (y) any federal, state, and local income tax attributable to such exercise. The initial term of the loan, the schedule of payments of principal and interest (if any) under the loan, the extent to which the loan is to be with or without recourse against the holder with respect to principal or interest and the conditions upon which the loan will become payable in the event of the holder's termination of employment shall be determined by the Administrator. Unless the Administrator determines otherwise, when a loan is made, shares of Stock having a Fair Market Value at least equal to the principal amount of the loan shall be pledged by the holder to the Company as security for payment of the unpaid balance of the loan, and such pledge shall be evidenced by a pledge agreement, the terms of which shall be determined by the Administrator, in its discretion; provided, however, that each loan shall comply with all applicable laws, regulations and rules of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and any other governmental agency having jurisdiction. (6) NON-TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTIONS. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, no Stock Option shall be transferable by the optionee, and all Stock Options shall be exercisable, during the optionee's lifetime, only by the optionee. (7) TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT OR SERVICE. If an optionee's employment with or service as a director of or consultant or advisor to the Company terminates by reason of death, Disability or for any other reason, the Stock Option may thereafter be exercised to the extent provided in the applicable subscription or award agreement, or as otherwise determined by the Administrator. (8) ANNUAL LIMIT ON INCENTIVE STOCK OPTIONS. To the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the date the Incentive Stock Option is granted) of shares of Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options granted to an Optionee under this Plan and all other option plans of the Company or its Parent Corporation become exercisable for the first time by the Optionee during any calendar year exceeds $100,000, such Stock Options shall be treated as Non-Qualified Stock Options. SECTION 6. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION. The Board may amend, alter or discontinue the Plan, but no amendment, alteration, or discontinuation shall be made that would impair the rights of a Participant under any award theretofore granted without such Participant's consent. The Administrator may amend the terms of any award theretofore granted, prospectively or retroactively, but, subject to Section 3 above, no such amendment shall impair the rights of any holder without his or her consent. SECTION 7. UNFUNDED STATUS OF PLAN. The Plan is intended to constitute an "unfunded" plan for incentive compensation. With respect to any payments not yet made to a Participant by the Company, nothing contained herein shall give any such Participant any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company. A-4 SECTION 8. GENERAL PROVISIONS. (1) The Administrator may require each person purchasing shares pursuant to a Stock Option to represent to and agree with the Company in writing that such person is acquiring the shares without a view to distribution thereof. The certificates for such shares may include any legend which the Administrator deems appropriate to reflect any restrictions on transfer. All certificates for shares of Stock delivered under the Plan shall be subject to such stock-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Administrator may deem advisable under the rules, regulations, and other requirements of the Commission, any stock exchange upon which the Stock is then listed, and any applicable federal or state securities law, and the Administrator may cause a legend or legends to be placed on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions. (2) Nothing contained in the Plan shall prevent the Board from adopting other or additional compensation arrangements, subject to stockholder approval if such approval is required; and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases. The adoption of the Plan shall not confer upon any employee, director, consultant or advisor of the Company any right to continued employment or service with the Company, as the case may be, nor shall it interfere in any way with the right of the Company to terminate the employment or service of any of its employees, directors, consultants or advisors at any time. (3) Each Participant shall, no later than the date as of which the value of an award first becomes includible in the gross income of the Participant for federal income tax purposes, pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Administrator regarding payment of, any federal, state, or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to the award. The obligations of the Company under the Plan shall be conditional on the making of such payments or arrangements, and the Company shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the Participant. (4) No member of the Board or the Administrator, nor any officer or employee of the Company acting on behalf of the Board or the Administrator, shall be personally liable for any action, determination, or interpretation taken or made in good faith with respect to the Plan, and all members of the Board or the Administrator and each and any officer or employee of the Company acting on their behalf shall, to the extent permitted by law, be fully indemnified and protected by the Company in respect of any such action, determination or interpretation. SECTION 9. EFFECTIVE DATE OF PLAN. The Plan became effective (the "Effective Date") on September 21, 2001, provided that, the Plan shall become effective with respect to Incentive Stock Options on the date the Company's stockholders formally approve the Plan. SECTION 10. TERM OF PLAN. No Stock Option shall be granted pursuant to the Plan on or after the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date, but awards theretofore granted may extend beyond that date. A-5 APPENDIX B FEDERAL INCOME TAX ASPECTS OF 2001 STOCK OPTION PLAN The following is a brief summary of the Federal income tax consequences of transactions under the 2001 Stock Option Plan. This summary is not intended to be exhaustive and does not discuss the tax consequences of a participant's death or provisions of the income tax laws of any municipality, state or foreign country in which an optionee may reside. INCENTIVE STOCK OPTIONS. An optionee who is granted an ISO will not recognize taxable income either at the time the option is granted or upon its exercise, although the exercise may subject the optionee to the alternative minimum tax. Upon the sale or exchange of the shares more than two years after the grant of the option and one year after exercising the option, any gain or loss will be treated as long-term capital gain or loss. If these holding periods are not satisfied, the optionee will recognize as ordinary income, at the time of sale or exchange, an amount equal to the difference between the exercise price and the lower of (i) the fair market value of the shares at the date of the option exercise, or (ii) the sale price of the shares. A different rule for measuring ordinary income upon such a premature disposition may apply in the case of optionees who are subject to Section 16 of the Act. The Company will be entitled to a deduction in the same amount as the ordinary income recognized by the optionee. Any gain or loss recognized on such a premature disposition of the shares in excess of the amount treated as ordinary income will be characterized as long-term or short-term capital gain or loss, depending on the holding period. NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTIONS. An optionee will not recognize any taxable income at the time he or she is granted a NSO. However, upon exercise of the NSO, the optionee will recognize taxable income generally measured as the excess of the then Fair Market Value of the shares purchased over the purchase price. Any taxable income recognized in connection with an option exercise by an optionee who is also an employee of the Company will be subject to tax withholding by the Company. Upon resale of such shares by the optionee, any difference between the sales price and the optionee's purchase price, to the extent not recognized as taxable income as described above, will be treated as long- term or short-term capital gain or loss, depending on the holding period. The Company will generally be entitled to a tax deduction in the same amount as the ordinary income recognized by the optionee with respect to shares acquired upon exercise of a NSO.
