Item 1.  Business.

GENERAL

The  SPAR  Group,  Inc.,  a  Delaware  corporation  ("SGRP"),   and  its
subsidiaries  (together  with SGRP,  the "SPAR  Group" or the  "Company"),  is a
supplier of  merchandising  and other marketing  services  throughout the United
States and  internationally.  In 2002, the Company sold its Incentive  Marketing
Division,  SPAR Performance Group, Inc. ("SPGI").  The Company's  operations are
divided into two divisions: the Domestic Merchandising Services Division and the
International   Merchandising  Services  Division.  The  Domestic  Merchandising
Services  Division  provides  merchandising  services,  in-store event staffing,
product sampling,  database  marketing,  technology  services,  teleservices and
marketing  research to  manufacturers  and retailers in the United  States.  The
various  services  are  primarily  performed in mass  merchandisers,  drug store
chains, convenience and grocery stores. The International Merchandising Services
Division  established in July 2000,  currently  provides  similar merchandising
services  through a wholly owned  subsidiary in Canada,  through 51% owned joint
venture  subsidiaries in India, South Africa and Turkey, and through a 50% owned
joint  venture in Japan.  The  Company  recently  established  a 50% owned joint
venture in China and a 51% owned joint venture subsidiary in Romania and expects
to offer merchandising services in these countries in 2005.

Continuing Operations

Domestic Merchandising Services Division

The  Company's   Domestic   Merchandising   Services  Division  provides
nationwide  merchandising  and other marketing  services  primarily on behalf of
consumer product  manufacturers and retailers at mass merchandisers,  drug store
chains and grocery  stores.  Included in its customers  are home  entertainment,
general  merchandise,  health and beauty care,  consumer goods and food products
companies in the United States.

Merchandising   services   primarily  consist  of  regularly   scheduled
dedicated routed services and special projects provided at the store level for a
specific retailer or single or multiple manufacturers  primarily under single or
multi-year   contracts  or   agreements.   Services  also  include   stand-alone
large-scale   implementations.   These  services  may  include  sales  enhancing
activities such as ensuring that client products authorized for distribution are
in  stock  

-2-

and on the shelf, adding new products that are approved for distribution but not
presently on the shelf,  setting  category  shelves in accordance  with approved
store  schematics,  ensuring  that  shelf  tags are in place,  checking  for the
overall  salability of client products and setting new and promotional items and
placing and/or  removing point of purchase and other related media  advertising.
Specific in-store  services can be initiated by retailers or manufacturers,  and
include  new  store  openings,   new  product  launches,   special  seasonal  or
promotional  merchandising,  focused  product support and product  recalls.  The
Company also provides  in-store event  staffing  services,  database  marketing,
technology services, teleservices and marketing research services.

International Merchandising Services Division

In July 2000, the Company  established its  International  Merchandising
Services  Division,  operating  through a wholly  owned  subsidiary,  SPAR Group
International,  Inc. ("SGI"),  to focus on expanding its merchandising  services
business  worldwide.  The Company has  expanded  its  international  business as
follows:

May  2001,  the  Company  entered  Japan  through  a  50%  owned  joint  venture
headquartered in Osaka.

June 2003, the Company entered Canada by acquiring an existing  business through
its wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary, headquartered in Toronto.

July  2003,  the  Company  entered  Turkey  through  a 51% owned  joint  venture
subsidiary headquartered in Istanbul.

April 2004,  the Company  entered South Africa through a 51% owned joint venture
subsidiary headquartered in Durban.

April  2004,  the  Company  entered  India  through  a 51% owned  joint  venture
subsidiary headquartered in New Delhi.

December  2004,  the Company  established a 51% owned joint  venture  subsidiary
headquartered in Bucharest, Romania.

In February 2005, the Company  announced the  establishment of a 50% owned joint
venture headquartered in Hong Kong, China.

Discontinued Operations

Incentive Marketing Division

As part of a strategic  realignment  in the fourth  quarter of 2001, the
Company made the decision to divest its Incentive Marketing Division,  operating
through its subsidiary,  SPAR  Performance  Group,  Inc.  ("SPGI").  The Company
explored various  alternatives  for the sale of SPGI and  subsequently  sold the
business to SPGI's  employees  through the  establishment  of an employee  stock
ownership  plan on June 30, 2002. In December of 2003,  SPGI changed its name to
STIMULYS, Inc.

Technology Division

In  October  2002,  the  Company   dissolved  its  Technology   Division
established  in  March  2000  for  the  purpose  of  marketing  its  proprietary
Internet-based computer software.

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

Domestic Merchandising Services Division

According  to  industry  estimates  over two  billion  dollars are spent
annually on domestic retail merchandising  services.  The merchandising services
industry  includes  manufacturers,  retailers,  food brokers,  and  professional
service  merchandising  companies.  The Company  believes  there is a continuing
trend for major  manufacturers  to move  increasingly  toward  third  parties to
handle in-store merchandising.  The Company also believes that its merchandising
services  bring added value to retailers,  manufacturers  and other  businesses.
Retail merchandising services enhance sales by making a product more visible and
available to consumers.  These services primarily include placing orders,  shelf
maintenance,  display  placement,   reconfiguring  products  on  store  shelves,
replenishing  

-3-

products and providing  in-store event staffing  services.  The Company provides
other  marketing  services  such  as test  market  research,  mystery  shopping,
teleservices, database marketing and promotion planning and analysis.

The Company believes  merchandising  services  previously  undertaken by
retailers and manufacturers have been increasingly  outsourced to third parties.
Historically,  retailers  staffed  their  stores as  needed to ensure  inventory
levels, the advantageous display of new items on shelves, and the maintenance of
shelf  schematics.  In an effort to improve their margins,  retailers  decreased
their own store  personnel  and increased  their  reliance on  manufacturers  to
perform such services.  Initially,  manufacturers  attempted to satisfy the need
for  merchandising  services  in  retail  stores  by  utilizing  their own sales
representatives.  However,  manufacturers  discovered that using their own sales
representatives  for this  purpose was  expensive  and  inefficient.  Therefore,
manufacturers have increasingly  outsourced the merchandising  services to third
parties  capable of operating at a lower cost by (among  other  things)  serving
multiple manufacturers simultaneously.

Another  significant  trend impacting the  merchandising  segment is the
tendency of consumers to make product purchase  decisions once inside the store.
Accordingly,   merchandising  services  and  in-store  product  promotions  have
proliferated  and  diversified.  Retailers are continually  remerchandising  and
remodeling  entire stores to respond to new product  developments and changes in
consumer preferences. The Company estimates that these activities have increased
in frequency over the last five years, such that most stores are re-merchandised
or  remodeled   approximately  every  twenty-four  months.  Both  retailers  and
manufacturers  are seeking third parties to help them meet the increased  demand
for these labor-intensive services.

International Merchandising Services Division

The Company believes another current trend in business is globalization.
As companies  expand into foreign markets they will need assistance in marketing
their  products.  As evidenced in the United States,  retailer and  manufacturer
sponsored merchandising programs are both expensive and inefficient. The Company
also  believes  that the  difficulties  encountered  by these  programs are only
exacerbated by the logistics of operating in foreign  markets.  This environment
has  created  an  opportunity  for the  Company to  exploit  its  Internet-based
technology and business model that are successful in the United States.  In July
2000, the Company established its International  Merchandising Services Division
to cultivate  foreign  markets,  modify the necessary  systems and implement the
Company's  business  model  worldwide by expanding  its  merchandising  services
business off shore. The Company formed an International  Merchandising  Services
Division  task  force  consisting  of  members  of  the  Company's   information
technology,  operations  and  finance  groups to evaluate  and  develop  foreign
markets.  In  2001,  the  Company  and  a  leading  Japanese  based  distributor
established  a joint  venture  to  provide  the  latest  in-store  merchandising
services to the Japanese market. In 2003, the Company expanded its international
presence  to  Canada  and  Turkey  by  acquiring  the  business  of  a  Canadian
merchandising  company and entering into a start-up joint venture  subsidiary in
Turkey. In 2004, the Company established 51% owned joint venture subsidiaries in
South  Africa,  India and Romania and in early 2005 a 50% owned joint venture in
China. Key to the Company's international strategy is the translation of several
of its  proprietary  Internet-based  logistical,  communications  and  reporting
software applications into the native language of any market the Company enters.
As a  result  of this  requirement  for  market  penetration,  the  Company  has
developed translation software that can quickly convert its proprietary software
into  various  languages.  Through  its  computer  facilities  in Auburn  Hills,
Michigan,  the Company provides worldwide access to its proprietary  logistical,
communications  and  reporting  software.  In  addition,  the Company  maintains
personnel in Greece and Australia to assist in its  international  efforts.  The
Company is actively pursuing expansion into various other markets.

PIA ACQUISITION

SPAR Acquisition,  Inc., and its subsidiaries (the "SPAR Companies") are
the original  predecessor  of the current  Company and were founded in 1967.  On
July 8, 1999,  the Company  completed a reverse  merger with the SPAR  Companies
(the "PIA Acquisition"), and then changed its name to SPAR Group, Inc., from PIA
Merchandising  Services, Inc. (prior to such merger, "PIA"). Pursuant to the PIA
Acquisition,  the SPAR  Companies  were  deemed to have  "acquired"  PIA and its
subsidiaries  prior to the PIA  Acquisition  (the  "PIA  Companies")  which  was
treated as a purchase of the PIA Companies  for  accounting  purposes,  with the
books and  records of the  Company  being  adjusted  to reflect  the  historical
operating results of the SPAR Companies.

BUSINESS STRATEGY

As the marketing  services industry  continues to grow,  consolidate and
expand  both in the  United  States and  internationally,  large  retailers  and
manufacturers are increasingly  outsourcing their marketing needs to third-party
providers.  The Company believes that offering  marketing services on a national
and global basis will provide it with a  competitive  advantage.  Moreover,  the
Company  believes  that  successful  use of  and  continuous  improvements  to a
sophisticated    technology    infrastructure,    including   its    proprietary
Internet-based  software,  is key to  providing  clients  with a high  level  of
customer service while maintaining efficient, low cost operations. The Company's
objective  is to become an  international  retail  merchandising  and  marketing
service  provider by pursuing its  operating and growth  strategy,  as described
below.

Increased Sales Efforts:

The Company is seeking to increase  revenues by increasing  sales to its
current customers,  as well as,  establishing  long-term  relationships with new
customers, many of which currently use other merchandising companies for various
reasons.  The Company believes its technology,  field  implementation  and other
competitive  advantages  will allow it to capture a larger  share of this market
over time.  However,  there can be no assurance that any increased sales will be
achieved.

New Products:

The  Company  is seeking  to  increase  revenues  through  the  internal
development  and  implementation  of new products and services that add value to
its customers' retail merchandising related activities,  some of which have been
identified and are currently being tested for feasibility and market acceptance.
However,  there  can be no  assurance  that any new  products  of value  will be
developed or that any such new product can be successfully marketed.

Acquisitions:

The  Company  is  seeking  to  acquire  businesses  or enter  into joint
ventures or other  arrangements with companies that offer similar  merchandising
services  both in the United  States and  worldwide.  The Company  believes that
increasing its industry expertise,  adding product segments,  and increasing its
geographic  breadth  will allow it to service its clients more  efficiently  and
cost effectively.  As part of its acquisition strategy,  the Company is actively
exploring  a  number  of  potential  acquisitions,  predominately  in  its  core
merchandising   service  businesses  (which  includes  in-store  event  staffing
services).  Through  such  acquisitions,  the  Company  may  realize  additional
operating and revenue  synergies and may leverage  existing  relationships  with
manufacturers,   retailers  and  other   businesses   to  create   cross-selling
opportunities.  However,  there can be no assurance that any of the acquisitions
will occur or whether, if completed,  the integration of the acquired businesses
will  be  successful  or  the   anticipated   efficiencies   and   cross-selling
opportunities will occur.

In December of 2003,  the Company  entered into an agreement to purchase
the business and certain  assets of Bert Fife &  Associates,  Inc.,  and related
Companies   ("Fife"),   which   specialized   in  providing   in-store   product
demonstrations.  As part of the  agreement  the Company  entered into a one year
consulting  agreement  with the President of Fife. The purchase was completed in
January 2004. In April 2004, the Company  established a joint venture subsidiary
in South Africa.  The joint venture subsidiary is headquartered in Durban and is
owned  51% by the  Company.  Also in  April  2004,  the  Company  announced  the
establishment  of a joint  venture  subsidiary  in India and started  operations
during the third quarter.  The joint venture  subsidiary is headquartered in New
Delhi and is 51% owned by the Company.  In January 2005,  the Company  announced
the  establishment of a joint venture  subsidiary in Romania and is owned 51% by
the Company.  In February 2005,  the Company  announced the  establishment  of a
joint venture in China which is 50% owned by the Company.

Improve Operating Efficiencies:

The Company will continue to seek greater  operating  efficiencies.  The
Company believes that its existing field force and technology infrastructure can
support additional customers and revenue in the Domestic  Merchandising Services
Division.  At the  corporate  level,  the Company  will  continue to  streamline
certain  administrative  functions,  such as accounting and finance,  insurance,
strategic marketing and legal support.

-5-

Leverage and Improve Technology:

The Company intends to continue to utilize computer (including hand-held
computers), Internet, and other technology to enhance its efficiency and ability
to provide  real-time data to its customers,  as well as,  maximize the speed of
communication,  and  logistical  deployment  of its  merchandising  specialists.
Industry sources  indicate that customers are increasingly  relying on marketing
service providers to supply rapid, value-added information regarding the results
of marketing  expenditures  on sales and  profits.  The Company  (together  with
certain of its  affiliates)  has developed and owns  proprietary  Internet-based
software  technology that allows it to utilize the Internet to communicate  with
its  field  management,   schedule  its  store-specific  field  operations  more
efficiently, receive information and incorporate the data immediately,  quantify
the benefits of its services to customers  faster,  respond to customers'  needs
quickly and implement  programs rapidly.  The Company has successfully  modified
and is currently  utilizing  certain of its software  applications in connection
with its  international  ventures.  The Company believes that it can continue to
improve,  modify and adapt its  technology  to support  merchandising  and other
marketing  services for  additional  customers and projects in the United States
and in other foreign  markets.  The Company also  believes that its  proprietary
Internet-based  software  technology  gives it a  competitive  advantage  in the
marketplace.

DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES

The Company currently  provides a broad array of merchandising and other
marketing  services on a  national,  regional  and local  basis to leading  home
entertainment,  general merchandise, consumer goods, food, and health and beauty
care  manufacturers  and retail  companies  through its  Domestic  Merchandising
Services Division.

The  Company  currently  operates  internationally  serving  some of the
world's  leading  companies.  The Company  believes its  full-line  capabilities
provide  fully  integrated  solutions  that  distinguish  the  Company  from its
competitors.  These  capabilities  include the  ability to develop  plans at one
centralized  division  headquarter   location,   effect  chain  wide  execution,
implement  rapid,  coordinated  responses to its clients'  needs and report on a
real time Internet  enhanced basis. The Company also believes its  international
presence,  industry-leading  technology,  centralized  decision-making  ability,
local  follow-through,  ability to recruit,  train and supervise  merchandisers,
ability to perform large-scale  initiatives on short notice, and strong retailer
relationships  provide  the Company  with a  significant  advantage  over local,
regional or other competitors.

Domestic Merchandising Services Division

The  Company  provides  a broad  array of  merchandising  services  on a
national, regional, and local basis to manufacturers and retailers in the United
States.  The Company  provides its  merchandising  and other marketing  services
primarily on behalf of consumer product manufacturers at mass merchandiser, drug
and retail grocery chains.  The Company currently provides three principal types
of merchandising and marketing services: syndicated services, dedicated services
and project services.

Syndicated Services

Syndicated services consist of regularly scheduled, routed merchandising
services  provided at the retail  store level for various  manufacturers.  These
services are performed  for multiple  manufacturers,  including,  in some cases,
manufacturers  whose  products  are in the  same  product  category.  Syndicated
services may include activities such as:

o    Reordering and replenishment of products
o    Ensuring that the clients'  products  authorized for distribution
are in stock and on the shelf
o    Adding new products  that are approved for  distribution  but not
yet  present  on the shelf 
o    Designing and implementing store planogram schematics
o    Setting  product  category  shelves in  accordance  with approved
store schematics
o    Ensuring that product shelf tags are in place
o    Checking for overall salability of the clients' products
o    Placing new product and promotional items in prominent positions

Dedicated Services

Dedicated  services  consist of  merchandising  services,  generally  as
described above,  which are performed for a specific retailer or manufacturer by
a dedicated  organization,  including a management team working  exclusively 

-6-

for that  retailer or  manufacturer.  These  services  include many of the above
activities detailed in syndicated services, as well as, new store set-ups, store
remodels  and fixture  installations.  These  services  are  primarily  based on
agreed-upon rates and fixed management fees.

Project Services

Project  services  consist   primarily  of  specific  in-store  services
initiated  by  retailers  and  manufacturers,  such as new store  openings,  new
product launches, special seasonal or promotional merchandising, focused product
support,  product recalls,  in-store product demonstrations and in-store product
sampling.  The Company also performs other project  services,  such as new store
sets  and  existing  store  resets,  re-merchandising,   remodels  and  category
implementations, under annual or stand-alone project contracts or agreements.

Other Marketing Services

Other marketing services performed by the Company include:

Event Staffing Services - Performing in-store product demonstrations or
product sampling.

Test Market Research - Testing promotion alternatives, new products and
advertising  campaigns,  as well as  packaging,  pricing,  and location
changes, at the store level.

Mystery Shopping - Calling  anonymously on retail outlets (e.g. stores,
restaurants,  banks) to check on distribution or display of a brand and
to evaluate products, service of personnel, conditions of store, etc.

Database  Marketing - Managing  proprietary  information to permit easy
access,   analysis  and   manipulation  for  use  in  direct  marketing
campaigns.

Data Collection - Gathering sales and other information  systematically
for analysis and interpretation.

Teleservices - Maintaining a  teleservices  center in its Auburn Hills,
Michigan,  facility  that performs  inbound and outbound  telemarketing
services,  including  those  on  behalf  of  certain  of the  Company's
manufacturing clients.

The Company  believes that providing  merchandising  and other marketing
services timely,  accurately and efficiently,  as well as, delivering timely and
accurate reports to its clients, are two key components that will be critical to
its  success.  The Company has  developed  Internet-based  logistic  deployment,
communications,  and  reporting  systems  that improve the  productivity  of its
merchandising  specialists and provide timely data and reports to its customers.
The  Company's  merchandising  specialists  use  hand-held  computers,  personal
computers  and laptop  computers to report the status of each store they service
upon completion  either through the Internet or using Interactive Voice Response
("IVR")  through  its  Auburn  Hills  telecommunication  center.   Merchandising
specialists  report on a variety of issues such as store conditions (e.g. out of
stocks,  inventory,  display  placement) or they may scan and process new orders
for products. This information is reported,  analyzed and displayed in a variety
of reports  that can be accessed by both the Company and its  customers  via the
Internet.  These reports can depict the status of every merchandising project in
real time.

Through the Company's automated labor tracking system, its merchandising
specialists  communicate work assignment completion information via the Internet
or  telephone,  enabling  the  Company  to  report  hours,  mileage,  and  other
completion  information  for each work assignment on a daily basis and providing
the Company with daily,  detailed  tracking of work completion.  This technology
allows the Company to schedule its  merchandising  specialists more efficiently,
quickly  quantify the benefits of its services to customers,  rapidly respond to
customers' needs and rapidly implement  programs.  The Company believes that its
technological  capabilities  provide  it  with a  competitive  advantage  in the
marketplace.

International Merchandising Services Division

The Company believes another current trend in business is globalization.
As companies  expand into foreign markets they will need assistance in marketing
their  products.  As evidenced in the United States,  retailer and  manufacturer
sponsored merchandising programs are both expensive and inefficient. The Company
also  believes  that the  difficulties  encountered  by these  programs are only
exacerbated by the logistics of operating in foreign  markets.  This environment
has  created  an  opportunity  for the  Company to  exploit  its  Internet-based
technology and business model that are successful in the United States.

In July 2000, the Company  established its  International  Merchandising
Services Division to cultivate foreign markets, modify the necessary systems and
implement the Company's  business model worldwide by expanding its merchandising
services  business off shore. The Company formed an International  Merchandising
Services Division task force consisting of members of the Company's  information
technology,  operations  and  finance  groups to evaluate  and  develop  foreign
markets.  In  2001,  the  Company  and  a  leading  Japanese  based  distributor
established  a joint  venture  to  provide  the  latest  in-store  merchandising
services to the Japanese market. In 2003, the Company expanded its international
presence to Canada by acquiring a Canadian  merchandising  company and Turkey by
entering into a start-up joint venture.  In 2004,  the Company  established  51%
owned joint venture subsidiaries in South Africa, India and Romania and in early
2005, a 50% owned joint venture in China.

Key to the  Company's  international  strategy  is  the  translation  of
several  of  its  proprietary  Internet-based  logistical,   communications  and
reporting  software  applications  into the  native  language  of any market the
Company  enters.  As a result of this  requirement for market  penetration,  the
Company  has  developed  translation  software  that  can  quickly  convert  its
proprietary software into various languages.  Through its computer facilities in
Auburn Hills, Michigan, the Company provides worldwide access to its proprietary
logistical,  communications  and reporting  software.  In addition,  the Company
maintains  personnel  in Greece  and  Australia  to assist in its  international
efforts. The Company is actively pursuing expansion into various other markets.

SALES AND MARKETING

Domestic Merchandising Services Division

The Company's sales efforts within its Domestic  Merchandising  Services
Division are structured to develop new business in national,  regional and local
markets.  The Company's corporate business  development team directs its efforts
toward the senior management of prospective clients.  Sales strategies developed
at the Company's  headquarters are communicated to the Company's sales force for
execution. The sales force, located nationwide,  work from both Company and home
offices.  In  addition,  the  Company's  corporate  account  executives  play an
important  role in the Company's  new business  development  efforts  within its
existing manufacturer and retailer client base.

As part of the retailer  consolidation,  retailers are centralizing most
administrative  functions,   including  operations,   procurement  and  category
management.  In response to this  centralization  and the growing  importance of
large retailers, many manufacturers have reorganized their selling organizations
around a retailer  team  concept  that  focuses on a  particular  retailer.  The
Company has responded to this emerging trend and currently has retailer teams in
place at select retailers.

The  Company's  business  development  process  includes a due diligence
period to determine the objectives of the prospective  client, the work required
to satisfy those  objectives  and the market value of such work to be performed.
The  Company  employs  a formal  cost  development  and  proposal  process  that
determines the cost of each element of work required to achieve the  prospective
client's objectives. These costs, together with an analysis of market rates, are
used in the  development of a formal  quotation that is then reviewed at various
levels within the organization.  The pricing of this internal proposal must meet
the Company's objectives for profitability, which are established as part of the
business planning process. After approval of this quotation, a detailed proposal
is presented to and approved by the prospective client.

International Merchandising Services Division

The Company's  marketing efforts within its International  Merchandising
Services  Division are three fold.  First, the Company  endeavors to develop new
markets through  acquisitions.  The Company's  international  acquisition  team,
whose  primary  focus is to seek out and  develop  acquisitions  throughout  the
world, consists of personnel located in the United States, Greece and Australia.
Personnel from information  technology,  field  operations,  client services and
finance support the international  acquisition team.  Second, the Company offers
global  merchandising  solutions to customers that have worldwide  distribution.
This  effort is  spearheaded  out of the  Company's  headquarters  in the United
States.  Third the Company develops local markets through various joint ventures
or subsidiaries throughout the world.

CUSTOMERS

Domestic Merchandising Services Division

In its Domestic  Merchandising  Services Division, the Company currently
represents  numerous  manufacturers  and /or  retail  clients in a wide range of
retail outlets in the United States including:

o    Mass Merchandisers
o    Drug
o    Grocery
o    Other retail trade groups (e.g. Discount, Home Centers)

The  Company  also  provides  database,  research  and  other  marketing
services to the consumer packaged goods industry.

One customer accounted for 14%, 8%, and 6% of the Company's net revenues
for the years ended  December  31,  2004,  2003,  and 2002,  respectively.  This
customer  also  accounted  for  approximately  29%,  13%,  and  4%  of  accounts
receivable at December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002, respectively.

In  addition,  approximately  16%,  17%, and 24% of net revenues for the
years ended  December 31, 2004,  2003,  and 2002,  respectively,  resulted  from
merchandising services performed for manufacturers and others in stores operated
by Kmart.  These  customers  also  accounted for  approximately  22% of accounts
receivable at December 31, 2004. While the Company's customers and the resultant
contractual  relationships  are with  various  manufacturers  and not  Kmart,  a
significant  reduction of this retailer's stores or cessation of this retailer's
business would negatively impact the Company.

Another  customer,  a division of a major  retailer,  accounted for 26%,
30%, and 26% of the  Company's  net  revenues  for the years ended  December 31,
2004,   2003,  and  2002,   respectively.   This  customer  also  accounted  for
approximately  4%, 30%,  and 43% of accounts  receivable  at December  31, 2004,
2003, and 2002,  respectively.  On August 2, 2004, this customer was sold by its
parent.

International Merchandising Services Division

The Company believes that the potential international customers for this
division have similar profiles to its Domestic  Merchandising  Services Division
customers.  The Company is currently operating in Japan,  Canada,  Turkey, South
Africa and India. The Company  announced the  establishment of a 51% owned joint
venture  subsidiary  in  Romania in late 2004 and a 50% owned  joint  venture in
China in early 2005. The Company is actively pursuing  expansion into Europe and
other markets.

-9-

COMPETITION

The marketing  services  industry is highly  competitive.  The Company's
competition in the Domestic and International  Merchandising  Services Divisions
arises  from a  number  of large  enterprises,  many of which  are  national  or
international  in  scope.  The  Company  also  competes  with a large  number of
relatively  small  enterprises  with  specific  client,  channel  or  geographic
coverage, as well as with the internal marketing and merchandising operations of
its clients and  prospective  clients.  The Company  believes that the principal
competitive  factors within its industry  include  development and deployment of
technology,  breadth and quality of client  services,  cost,  and the ability to
execute  specific  client  priorities  rapidly  and  consistently  over  a  wide
geographic  area.  The Company  believes  that its current  structure  favorably
addresses these factors and establishes it as a leader in the mass  merchandiser
and chain drug store  channels of trade.  The Company  also  believes it has the
ability to execute major national and  international  in-store  initiatives  and
develop and administer  national and international  retailer programs.  Finally,
the Company  believes that,  through the use and  continuing  improvement of its
proprietary Internet software, other technological efficiencies and various cost
controls, the Company will remain competitive in its pricing and services.

TRADEMARKS

The Company has  numerous  registered  trademarks.  Although the Company
believes its  trademarks may have value,  the Company  believes its services are
sold primarily based on breadth and quality of service, cost, and the ability to
execute  specific  client  priorities  rapidly  and  consistently  over  a  wide
geographic area. See "Industry Overview" and "Competition".

EMPLOYEES

Worldwide  the  Company  utilizes a labor force of  approximately  7,700
people.

As of December 31, 2004, the Company's Domestic  Merchandising  Services
Division's  labor force consisted of approximately  6,500 people.  Approximately
150 were full-time  employees and 15 were part-time employees of the Company. Of
the 150 full-time Company  employees,  143 were engaged in operations and 7 were
engaged  in  sales.  The  Company's  Domestic  Merchandising  Services  Division
utilizes the services of its affiliate, SPAR Management Services, Inc. ("SMSI"),
to schedule and supervise  its field force,  which  consists of the  independent
contractors furnished by another affiliate SPAR Marketing Services, Inc. ("SMS")
(see Item 13 - Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, below) as well as
the Company's field employees.  Approximately 6,300 independent  contractors and
approximately 50 full-time field managers are furnished  principally through SMS
and SMSI, respectively.

As of December  31,  2004,  the  Company's  International  Merchandising
Services  Division's  labor  force  consisted  of  approximately  1,200  people.
Approximately  50  full-time  employees  were engaged in  operations  and 3 were
engaged  in  sales.  The  International  Division's  field  force  consisted  of
approximately 700 full time employees,  70 part time employees and approximately
380 independent contractors.

The Company  currently  utilizes  certain of its Domestic  Merchandising
Services Division's employees,  as well as, the services of certain employees of
its  affiliates,   SMSI  and  SPAR  Infotech,   Inc.  ("SIT"),  to  support  the
International Merchandising Services Division. However, dedicated employees will
be added to that division as the need arises. The Company's affiliate, SIT, also
provides  programming and other  assistance to the Company's  various  divisions
(see Item 13 - Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, below).

The Company,  SMS,  SMSI and SIT  consider  their  relations  with their
respective employees and independent contractors to be good.

CERTAIN RISK FACTORS

There  are  various  risks  associated  with the  Company's  growth  and
operating strategy. Certain (but not all) of these risks are discussed below.

-10-

Dependency on Largest Customers

As discussed above in Customers,  the Company does a significant  amount
of business with one customer and performs a  significant  amount of services in
Kmart.  The loss of this customer or the loss of Kmart related  business and the
failure  to  attract  new large  customers,  could  significantly  decrease  the
Company's  revenues and such decreased  revenues  could have a material  adverse
effect on the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition.

Dependence on Trend Toward Outsourcing

The  business  and  growth of the  Company  depends in large part on the
continued  trend toward  outsourcing  of marketing  services,  which the Company
believes has resulted from the consolidation of retailers and manufacturers,  as
well as, the desire to seek  outsourcing  specialists and reduce fixed operation
expenses.  There  can be no  assurance  that  this  trend  in  outsourcing  will
continue,  as  companies  may  elect to  perform  such  services  internally.  A
significant  change in the direction of this trend generally,  or a trend in the
retail, manufacturing or business services industry not to use, or to reduce the
use of,  outsourced  marketing  services such as those  provided by the Company,
could significantly  decrease the Company's revenues and such decreased revenues
could have a  material  adverse  effect on the  Company's  business,  results of
operations  and  financial  condition or the desired  increases in the Company's
business, revenues and profits.

Failure to Successfully Compete

The marketing  services  industry is highly  competitive and the Company
has competitors that are larger (or part of larger holding companies) and may be
better financed.  In addition,  the Company competes with: (i) a large number of
relatively  small  enterprises  with  specific  customer,  channel or geographic
coverage;  (ii) the  internal  marketing  and  merchandising  operations  of its
customers and prospective customers; (iii) independent brokers; and (iv) smaller
regional providers.  Remaining  competitive in the highly competitive  marketing
services industry requires that the Company monitor and respond to trends in all
industry  sectors.  There can be no  assurance  that the Company will be able to
anticipate and respond  successfully  to such trends in a timely manner.  If the
Company is unable to  successfully  compete,  it could  have a material  adverse
effect on the Company's business,  results of operations and financial condition
or the desired increases in the Company's business, revenues and profits.

If  certain  competitors  were  to  combine  into  integrated  marketing
services companies, or additional marketing service companies were to enter into
this  market,  or existing  participants  in this  industry  were to become more
competitive,  it could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business,
results of operations  and financial  condition or the desired  increases in the
Company's business, revenues and profits.

Variability of Operating Results and Uncertainty in Customer Revenue

The  Company  has  experienced  and,  in  the  future,   may  experience
fluctuations  in  quarterly  operating  results.  Factors  that  may  cause  the
Company's  quarterly  operating  results  to vary and from  time to time and may
result in reduced revenue include:  (i) the number of active customer  projects;
(ii)  seasonality  of customer  products;  (iii)  customer  delays,  changes and
cancellations in projects;  (iv) the timing  requirements of customer  projects;
(v)  the  completion  of  major  customer  projects;  (vi)  the  timing  of  new
engagements;  (vii) the timing of personnel cost increases;  and (viii) the loss
of major  customers.  In  particular,  the timing of  revenues is  difficult  to
forecast for the home entertainment  industry because timing is dependent on the
commercial  success  of  particular  product  releases.  In  the  event  that  a
particular  release is not widely accepted by the public,  the Company's revenue
could be significantly  reduced. In addition,  the Company is subject to revenue
uncertainties  resulting from factors such as unprofitable customer work and the
failure of  customers to pay.  The Company  attempts to mitigate  these risks by
dealing primarily with large credit-worthy  customers,  by entering into written
or oral  agreements with its customers and by using project  budgeting  systems.
These revenue  fluctuations  could materially and adversely affect the Company's
business, results of operations and financial condition or the desired increases
in the Company's business, revenues and profits.

Failure to Develop New Products

A key element of the Company's  growth  strategy is the  development and
sale of new products.  While several new products are under current development,
there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully  develop
and market new  products.  The  Company's  inability or failure to devise useful
merchandising   or  marketing   

-11-

products  or to complete  the  development  or  implementation  of a  particular
product for use on a large  scale,  or the  failure of such  products to achieve
market  acceptance,  could adversely  affect the Company's  ability to achieve a
significant  part of its growth  strategy  and the absence of such growth  could
have a material adverse effect on the Company's business,  results of operations
and  financial  condition or the desired  increases in the  Company's  business,
revenues and profits.

Inability to Identify, Acquire and Successfully Integrate Acquisitions

Another  key  component  of  the  Company's   growth   strategy  is  the
acquisition  of businesses  across the United  States and  worldwide  that offer
similar  merchandising or marketing services.  The successful  implementation of
this  strategy  depends  upon  the  Company's   ability  to  identify   suitable
acquisition candidates, acquire such businesses on acceptable terms, finance the
acquisition  and  integrate  their  operations  successfully  with  those of the
Company. There can be no assurance that such candidates will be available or, if
such  candidates  are  available,  that the price will be attractive or that the
Company will be able to identify,  acquire, finance or integrate such businesses
successfully.  In addition,  in pursuing  such  acquisition  opportunities,  the
Company may compete with other  entities with similar growth  strategies,  these
competitors  may be larger and have greater  financial and other  resources than
the Company.  Competition  for these  acquisition  targets  could also result in
increased  prices of acquisition  targets and/or a diminished  pool of companies
available for acquisition.

The  successful  integration  of these  acquisitions  also may involve a
number of additional risks, including: (i) the inability to retain the customers
of the acquired business;  (ii) the lingering effects of poor customer relations
or  service  performance  by the  acquired  business,  which  also may taint the
Company's  existing  businesses;  (iii) the  inability  to retain the  desirable
management, key personnel and other employees of the acquired business; (iv) the
inability to fully realize the desired  efficiencies and economies of scale: (v)
the  inability  to  establish,   implement  or  police  the  Company's  existing
standards,  controls,  procedures  and policies on the acquired  business;  (vi)
diversion of management attention; and (vii) exposure to customer,  employee and
other legal claims for activities of the acquired business prior to acquisition.
In addition,  any  acquired  business  could  perform  significantly  worse than
expected.

The inability to identify,  acquire,  finance and successfully integrate
such  merchandising or marketing services business could have a material adverse
effect on the Company's growth strategy and could limit the Company's ability to
significantly increase its revenues and profits.

Uncertainty of Financing for, and Dilution Resulting from, Future Acquisitions

The timing,  size and success of acquisition  efforts and any associated
capital  commitments  cannot be readily  predicted.  Future  acquisitions may be
financed by issuing shares of the Company's Common Stock, cash, or a combination
of Common  Stock and cash.  If the  Company's  Common  Stock does not maintain a
sufficient  market value, or if potential  acquisition  candidates are otherwise
unwilling to accept the Company's Common Stock as part of the  consideration for
the sale of their  businesses,  the Company may be required to obtain additional
capital through debt or equity  financings.  To the extent the Company's  Common
Stock is used for all or a portion  of the  consideration  to be paid for future
acquisitions, dilution may be experienced by existing stockholders. There can be
no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain the additional financing it
may need for its  acquisitions  on terms  that  the  Company  deems  acceptable.
Failure to obtain such capital would  materially  adversely affect the Company's
ability to execute its growth strategy.

Reliance on the Internet

The Company relies on the Internet for the scheduling,  coordination and
reporting  of  its  merchandising  and  marketing  services.  The  Internet  has
experienced,  and is expected to continue to experience,  significant  growth in
the  numbers  of users and amount of  traffic  as well as  increased  attacks by
hackers  and other  saboteurs.  To the extent  that the  Internet  continues  to
experience  increased numbers of users,  frequency of use or increased bandwidth
requirements   of  users,   there  can  be  no   assurance   that  the  Internet
infrastructure  will  continue to be able to support  the demands  placed on the
Internet by this continued  growth or that the performance or reliability of the
Internet  will  not  be  adversely  affected.   Furthermore,  the  Internet  has
experienced a variety of outages and other delays as a result of accidental  and
intentional  damage to  portions  of its  infrastructure,  and  could  face such
outages and delays in the future of similar or greater  effect.  Any  protracted
disruption in Internet  service would increase the Company's  costs of operation
and reduce  efficiency  and  performance,  which  could have a material  adverse
effect on the Company's business,  results of operations and financial condition
or the desired increases in the Company's business, revenues and profits.

-12-

Economic and Retail Uncertainty

The markets in which the Company  operates  are  cyclical and subject to
the effects of economic  downturns.  The current political,  social and economic
conditions, including the impact of terrorism on consumer and business behavior,
make it difficult  for the Company,  its vendors and its customers to accurately
forecast and plan future business activities. Substantially all of the Company's
key customers are either retailers or those seeking to do product  merchandising
at  retailers.  If  the  retail  industry  experiences  a  significant  economic
downturn,  a  reduction  in  product  sales  could  significantly  decrease  the
Company's  revenues.  The Company also has risks  associated  with its customers
changing  their  business  plans  and/or  reducing  their  marketing  budgets in
response to economic  conditions,  which could also  significantly  decrease the
Company's revenues.  Such revenue decreases could have a material adverse effect
on the Company's business,  results of operations and financial condition or the
desired increases in the Company's business, revenues and profits.

Significant Stockholders: Voting Control and Market Illiquidity

Mr. Robert G. Brown, founder,  director,  Chairman,  President and Chief
Executive Officer of the Company,  beneficially owns approximately  45.5% of the
Company's  outstanding  Common  Stock,  and Mr.  William  H.  Bartels,  founder,
director, and Vice Chairman of the Company beneficially owns approximately 29.4%
of the Company's  outstanding Common Stock. These stockholders have, should they
choose to act together,  and under certain  circumstances Mr. Brown acting alone
has,  the  ability  to  control  all  matters  requiring  stockholder  approval,
including  the  election  of  directors  and the  approval  of mergers and other
business combination transactions.

In addition,  although the Company  Common Stock is quoted on the Nasdaq
Small Cap  Market,  the  trading  volume in such  stock  may be  limited  and an
investment in the Company's  securities may be illiquid because the founders own
a significant amount of the Company's stock.

Dependence Upon and Potential Conflicts in Services Provided by Affiliates

The success of the  Company's  domestic  business is dependent  upon the
successful  execution of its field  services by SPAR  Marketing  Services,  Inc.
("SMS"), and SPAR Management Services, Inc. ("SMSI"), as well as the programming
services provided by SPAR Infotech, Inc. ("SIT"), each of which is an affiliate,
but not a subsidiary,  of the Company,  and none of which is consolidated in the
Company's  financial  statements.  SMS provides  substantially  all of the field
representatives  used by the Company in conducting its domestic business (87% of
field  expense  in  2004),  and SMSI  provides  substantially  all of the  field
management  services  used by the  Company in  conducting  its  business.  These
services  provided  to the  Company  by SMS and  SMSI are on a  cost-plus  basis
pursuant to contracts that are cancelable on 60 days notice prior to December 31
of each year, commencing in 1997, or with 180 days notice at any other time. SIT
provides  substantially  all of the  Internet  programming  services  and  other
computer  programming  needs used by the Company in conducting its business (see
Item 13 - Certain  Relationships  and Related  Transactions,  below),  which are
provided to the Company by SIT on an hourly charge basis  pursuant to a contract
that is  cancelable  on 30 days  notice.  The  Company has  determined  that the
services provided by SMS, SMSI and SIT are at rates favorable to the Company.

SMS, SMSI and SIT (collectively, the "SPAR Affiliates") are owned solely
by Mr.  Robert  G.  Brown,  founder,  director,  Chairman,  President  and Chief
Executive Officer of the Company, and Mr. William H. Bartels, founder, director,
and Vice Chairman of the Company,  each of whom are also directors and executive
officers of each of the SPAR Affiliates (see Item 13 - Certain Relationships and
Related  Transactions,  below).  In the  event of any  dispute  in the  business
relationships between the Company and one or more of the SPAR Affiliates,  it is
possible  that  Messrs.  Brown and  Bartels  may have one or more  conflicts  of
interest with respect to those  relationships and could cause one or more of the
SPAR  Affiliates to  renegotiate  or cancel their  contracts with the Company or
otherwise act in a way that is not in the Company's best interests.

While the Company's  relationships with SMS, SMSI and SIT are excellent,
there  can be no  assurance  that the  Company  could  (if  necessary  under the
circumstances)  replace  the  field  representatives  and  management  currently
provided  by SMS and SMSI,  respectively,  or  replace  the  Internet  and other
computer programming services provided by SIT, in sufficient time to perform its
customer obligations or at such favorable rates in the event the SPAR Affiliates
no longer performed those services.  Any cancellation,  other  nonperformance or
material pricing increase under those affiliate  contracts could have a material
adverse  effect on the Company's  business,  results of operations and financial
condition  or the desired  increases  in the  Company's  business,  revenues and
profits.

-13-

The Company has not paid and does not intend to pay cash Dividends

The Company has not paid  dividends  in the past,  intends to retain any
earnings or other cash  resources  to finance the  expansion of its business and
for general  corporate  purposes,  and does not intend to pay  dividends  in the
future. In addition,  the Company's Credit Facility with Webster Business Credit
Corporation  ("Webster")  (see  Note 5 to the  Financial  Statements  - Lines of
Credit) restricts the payment of dividends without Webster's prior consent.

Risks Associated with International Joint Ventures

While the Company  endeavors to limit its exposure for claims and losses
in any international  joint ventures through contractual  provisions,  insurance
and use of single purpose entities for such ventures,  there can be no assurance
that the Company will not be held liable for the claims  against and losses of a
particular  international  joint  venture  under  applicable  local law or local
interpretation of any joint venture or insurance provisions.  If any such claims
and losses  should  occur,  be material in amount and be  successfully  asserted
against the Company, such claims and losses could have a material adverse effect
on the Company's business,  results of operations and financial condition or the
desired increases in the Company's business, revenues and profits.

Risks Associated with Foreign Currency

The  Company  also has foreign  currency  exposure  associated  with its
international  joint venture  subsidiaries  and joint ventures.  In 2004,  these
exposures are primarily  concentrated in the Canadian  dollar,  Japanese yen and
South African rand.

Risks Associated with International Business

The  Company's   expansion  strategy  includes  expansion  into  various
countries around the world. While the Company endeavors to limit its exposure by
entering only countries  where the political,  social and economic  environments
are conducive to doing business in that country there can be no assurances  that
the respective business environments will remain favorable.

Item 2.  Properties.

The Company maintains its corporate  headquarters in approximately 6,000
square feet of leased office space located in Tarrytown, New York, under a lease
with a term expiring in May 2006.

The  Company  leases  certain  office  and  storage  facilities  for its
corporate headquarters, divisions and subsidiaries under operating leases, which
expire at various dates during the next five years. Most of these leases require
the Company to pay minimum rents,  subject to periodic  adjustments,  plus other
charges, including utilities, real estate taxes and common area maintenance.

Although the Company believes that its existing  facilities are adequate
for its current  business,  new facilities may be added should the need arise in
the future.

Item 3.  Legal Proceedings.

Safeway   Inc.   ("Safeway"),   filed  a   Complaint   against  the  PIA
Merchandising  Co., Inc. ("PIA Co."), a wholly owned  subsidiary of the Company,
and Pivotal Sales Company ("Pivotal"), a wholly owned subsidiary of PIA Co., and
SGRP in Alameda Superior Court, case no. 2001028498 on October 24, 2001, and has
subsequently  amended  it.  Safeway  alleges  causes  of  action  for  breach of
contract,  breach of implied  contract,  breach of fiduciary  duty,  conversion,
constructive fraud,  breach of trust,  unjust enrichment,  and accounting fraud.
Safeway has most  recently  alleged  monetary  damages in the  principal  sum of
$3,000,000 and probable interest of $1,000,000 and has also demanded unspecified
costs. PIA Co., Pivotal and SGRP filed cross-claims  against Safeway on or about
March 11, 2002, and amended them on or about October 15, 2002,  alleging  causes
of action by them  against  Safeway for breach of  contract,  interference  with
economic relationship,  unfair trade practices and unjust enrichment and seeking
damages and injunctive  relief.  Mediation between the parties occurred in 2004,
but did not result in a  settlement.  PIA Co.,  Pivotal and SGRP are  vigorously
defending  Safeway's  allegations.  It is not possible at this time to determine
the  likelihood of the outcome of this  lawsuit.  However,  if Safeway  prevails
respecting  its  allegations,  and PIA  Co.,  Pivotal  and  SGRP  lose on  their
cross-claims and counterclaims, that result could have a material adverse effect
on the  Company.  The Company  anticipates  that this matter will be resolved in
2005.

In addition to the above,  the Company is a party to various other legal
actions and administrative proceedings arising in the normal course of business.
In the opinion of Company's  management,  disposition of these other matters are
not  anticipated to have a material  adverse  effect on the financial  position,
results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

Item 4.  Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

As of  December  31,  2004,  there  were  approximately  700  beneficial
shareholders of the Company's Common Stock.

Dividends

The Company has never declared or paid any cash dividends on its capital
stock and does not  anticipate  paying cash dividends on its Common Stock in the
foreseeable  future.  The Company currently intends to retain future earnings to
finance  its  operations  and fund the growth of the  business.  Any  payment of
future  dividends  will be at the  discretion  of the Board of  Directors of the
Company and will  depend  upon,  among other  things,  the  Company's  earnings,
financial condition,  capital requirements,  level of indebtedness,  contractual
restrictions  in respect to the payment of dividends  and other factors that the
Company's Board of Directors deems relevant.

The Company's Credit Facility with Webster  Business Credit  Corporation
(see Note 5 to the Financial Statements - Lines of Credit) restricts the payment
of dividends without Webster's prior consent.

Item 7.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.

Overview
--------

In the United States,  the Company  provides  merchandising  services to
manufacturers  and  retailers  principally  in mass  merchandiser,  drug  store,
grocery,  and other retail  trade  classes  through its  Domestic  Merchandising
Services Division. Internationally,  the Company provides in-store merchandising
services  through a wholly owned  subsidiary in Canada,  51% owned joint venture
subsidiaries in Turkey,  South Africa and India and a 50% owned joint venture in
Japan.  In December  2004,  the Company  established  a 51% owned joint  venture
subsidiary in Romania.  In February  2005,  the Company  established a 50% owned
joint venture in China. In 2004, the Company consolidated Canada,  Turkey, South
Africa, India and Japan into the Company's financial statements. Romania did not
have operations in 2004.

In December 2001, the Company decided to divest its Incentive  Marketing
Division and recorded an estimated loss on disposal of SPAR  Performance  Group,
Inc., now called STIMULYS,  Inc. ("SPGI"), of approximately $4.3 million, net of
taxes,  including a $1.0 million reserve  recorded for the  anticipated  cost to
divest SPGI and any anticipated losses through the divestiture date.

On June 30, 2002, SPAR Incentive Marketing, Inc. ("SIM"), a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Stock Purchase and Sale Agreement with
Performance  Holdings,  Inc. ("PHI"),  a Delaware  corporation  headquartered in
Carrollton,  Texas.  Pursuant  to that  agreement,  SIM sold all of the stock of
SPGI, its subsidiary,  to PHI for $6.0 million.  As a condition of the sale, PHI
issued  and  contributed  1,000,000  shares of its common  stock to  Performance
Holdings,  Inc. Employee Stock Ownership Plan, which became the only shareholder
of PHI.

SIM's  results   (including   those  of  SPGI)  were   reclassified   as
discontinued operations for all periods presented.  The results of operations of
the  discontinued  business  segment are shown  separately below net income from
continuing  operations.   Accordingly,   the  2002  consolidated  statements  of
operations of the Company have been prepared, and its 2001 and 2000 consolidated
statement  of  operations   have  been  restated,   to  report  the  results  of
discontinued  operations of SIM (including  those of SPGI)  separately  from the
continuing  operations  of the Company  (see Item 6 - Selected  Financial  Data,
above).

Critical Accounting Policies & Estimates
----------------------------------------

The Company's critical  accounting  policies,  including the assumptions
and  judgments  underlying  them,  are  disclosed in the Note 2 to the Financial
Statements.  These  policies  have been  consistently  applied  in all  material
respects and address such matters as revenue recognition,  depreciation methods,
asset impairment recognition,  business combination accounting, and discontinued
business  accounting.  While the  estimates and  judgments  associated  with the
application  of these  policies  may be affected  by  different  assumptions  or
conditions, the Company believes the estimates and judgments associated with the
reported amounts are appropriate in the circumstances.  Four critical accounting
policies are consolidation of subsidiaries,  revenue recognition,  allowance for
doubtful  accounts and sales allowances,  and internal use software  development
costs:

Consolidation of subsidiaries

The Company  consolidates its 100% owned subsidiaries.  The Company also
consolidates its 51% owned joint venture  subsidiaries and its 50% owned
joint ventures where the Company is the primary  beneficiary because the
Company believes this  presentation is fairer and more meaningful.  Rule
3A-02  of  Regulation  S-X,  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  of the
Registrant and its Subsidiaries, states that consolidated statements are
presumed to be more meaningful,  that majority owned  subsidiaries (more
than 50%) generally should be consolidated,  and that  circumstances may
require   consolidation  of  other  subsidiaries  to  achieve  a  fairer
presentation of its financial  condition and results.  In addition,  the
Company has determined that under Financial  Accounting  Standards Board
Interpretation  Number 46, as revised  December 2003,  Consolidation  of
Variable  Interest  Entities ("FIN  46(R)"),  the Company is the primary
beneficiary  of its 51% owned  joint  venture  subsidiaries  and its 50%
owned joint ventures,  which accordingly requires consolidation of those
entities into the Company's financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

The Company's  services are provided under  contracts or agreements that
consist  primarily  of  service  fees  and per  unit  fee  arrangements.
Revenues under service fee  arrangements are recognized when the service
is performed. 

-19-

The  Company's per unit  contracts or agreements  provide for fees to be
earned based on the retail sales of client's products to consumers.  The
Company  recognizes  per unit fees in the  period  such  amounts  become
determinable and are reported to the Company.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts and Sales Allowances

The Company continually monitors the validity of its accounts receivable
based upon current customer credit information and financial  condition.
Balances  that are  deemed to be  uncollectible  after the  Company  has
attempted reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge
to the bad debt allowance and a credit to accounts receivable.  Accounts
receivable  balances are stated at the amount that management expects to
collect from the outstanding balances. The Company provides for probable
uncollectible  amounts  through a charge to earnings and a credit to bad
debt allowance based on management's assessment of the current status of
individual  accounts.  Based on  management's  assessment,  the  Company
established an allowance for doubtful  accounts of $761,000 and $515,000
at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The Company also recorded a
reserve for sales allowances for potential  customer credits of $448,000
at  December  31,  2003.  Bad debt and  sales  allowance  expenses  were
$366,000, $825,000, and $262,000 in 2004, 2003, and 2002, respectively.

Internal Use Software Development Costs

In  accordance  with SOP  98-1,  Accounting  for the  Costs of  Computer
Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use, the Company capitalizes
certain  costs  associated  with  its  internally   developed  software.
Specifically,  the  Company  capitalizes  the  costs  of  materials  and
services  incurred in  developing  or obtaining  internal use  software.
These  costs  include  but  are not  limited  to the  cost  to  purchase
software,  write program code and payroll,  related  benefits and travel
expenses  for those  employees  who are directly  involved  with and who
devote time to its software development  projects.  Capitalized software
development costs are amortized over three years.

The Company  capitalized  $559,000,  $1,004,000,  and  $772,000 of costs
related to software  developed for internal use in 2004, 2003, and 2002,
respectively.

The  Company  also  recorded  a net  impairment  charge  of  capitalized
software  related to lost  clients  totaling  approximately  $442,000 in
2004.

Results from  continuing  operations  for the twelve  months ended  December 31,
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2004, compared to twelve months ended December 31, 2003
-------------------------------------------------------

Net Revenues

Net revenues from  operations  for the twelve months ended  December 31,
2004, were $51.4 million,  compared to $64.9 million for the twelve months ended
December 31, 2003, a decrease of $13.5  million or 20.8%.  The decrease of $13.5
million in net  revenues  consists of a decrease  in  domestic  revenue of $21.1
million or 32.9% partially offset by increases in international  revenue of $7.7
million.  The  decrease in  domestic  revenue is a result of the loss of several
significant  customers  partially  offset by revenue from new customers in 2004.
The international revenue increase of $7.7 million was primarily a result of the
South African  acquisition,  the Japan consolidation and a full year of Canadian
operations.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues from  operations  consists of in-store  labor and field
management  wages,  related  benefits,  travel  and other  direct  labor-related
expenses. Cost of revenues decreased by $8.7 million in 2004 and as a percentage
of net revenues was 65.5% for the twelve months ended  December 31, 2004,  which
was  consistent  with 65.3% for the  twelve  months  ended  December  31,  2003.
Approximately  87%  and  85% of the  field  services  were  purchased  from  the
Company's affiliate,  SMS, in 2004 and 2003, respectively (see Item 13 - Certain
Relationships and Related  Transactions,  below). SMS's increased share of field
services resulted from its more favorable cost structure

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses include selling, general and administrative expenses,
impairment  charges,   depreciation  and  amortization.   Selling,  general  and
administrative   expenses  include  corporate   overhead,   project  management,
information  technology,  executive  compensation,  human  resource,  legal  and
accounting expenses.  The following table sets forth the operating expenses as a
percentage of net revenues for the time periods indicated:

==============  ============   ===============  =============

Selling,  general and administrative expenses decreased by $0.8 million,
or 3.6%,  for the twelve  months  ended  December  31,  2004,  to $20.2  million
compared  to $21.0  million  for the twelve  months  ended  December  31,  2003.
Domestic selling,  general and administrative expenses totaled $16.7 million for
2004 and were reduced $3.3 million from $19.9 million in 2003.  The reduction of
16.1% was a result of cost reduction  programs  initiated in 2004 as a result of
the loss of certain large  customers  partially  offset by restructure  costs of
$480,000  expensed  in 2004  compared to no expense in 2003.  Restructure  costs
included office lease and employee severance costs. The domestic cost reductions
were  partially  offset by increases of $2.5 million in  international  selling,
general and  administrative  expenses resulting from the consolidation of Japan,
the acquisition of South Africa, and a full year of Canadian operations, as well
as, the Turkey and India joint venture startups.

Impairment  charges  were  $8.1  million  for  2004  (see  Note 3 to the
Financial Statements -Impairment Charges). Impairment charges resulting from the
loss  of  certain  large  customers   consisted  of  $7.6  million  of  goodwill
impairment,  $1.2 million for the impairment of other assets partially offset by
the reduction of $1.4 million (net of taxes) of other liabilities related to the
PIA  Acquisition.  In  addition  there was  approximately  $700,000  of goodwill
impairment associated with the Canadian subsidiary.

Depreciation  and  amortization  charges  of $1.4  million  in 2004  was
consistent with $1.5 million in 2003.

-21-

Other Income/Other Expense

Other income was approximately $754,000 for 2004 versus other expense of
$237,000 for 2003. In 2004,  other income  consisted of  approximately  $640,000
resulting from the release of specific  reserves  related to the  refinancing of
the SPGI notes and approximately $114,000 of foreign currency translation gains.
In 2003,  other expense  consisted  primarily of the Company's  share of its 50%
owned Japan joint venture losses  accounted for on the equity  method.  In 2004,
the  Japan  joint  venture  was  consolidated   into  the  Company's   financial
statements.

Interest Expense

Interest  expense  totaled  $220,000  for 2004 and was  consistent  with
interest expense of $269,000 for 2003.

Income Taxes

The  provision  for income  taxes was  $853,000 and $58,000 for 2004 and
2003, respectively.  During 2004, as a result of the loss of several significant
clients,  current  year  losses  and  the  lack  of  certainty  of a  return  to
profitability  in the next twelve months,  the Company recorded a full valuation
allowance  against its net  deferred tax assets  resulting in a charge  totaling
approximately  $750,000.  The 2004 tax  provision  of  $853,000  consists of the
valuation allowance and minimum state taxes of approximately  $103,000.  The tax
provision for 2003 reflects minimum tax requirements for state filings.

Net (Loss) Income

The SPAR Group had a net loss of  approximately  $12.3  million or $0.65
per basic and diluted  share for 2004,  compared to a net loss of  approximately
$539,000 or $0.03 per basic and diluted shares for 2003.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

Results from  continuing  operations  for the twelve  months ended  December 31,
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2003, compared to twelve months ended December 31, 2002
-------------------------------------------------------

Net Revenues

Net revenues from  operations  for the twelve months ended  December 31,
2003, were $64.9 million,  compared to $69.6 million for the twelve months ended
December  31,  2002,  a 6.8%  decrease.  The decrease of 6.8% in net revenues is
primarily  attributed to decreased  business in mass  merchandiser  chains.  The
decrease in net revenues was caused by decreased per unit fee revenue  resulting
from  lower  retail  sales of  customer  products  and the loss of a  particular
client, partially offset by increases in service fee revenue.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues from  operations  consists of in-store  labor and field
management  wages,  related  benefits,  travel  and other  direct  labor-related
expenses. Cost of revenues increased by $2.0 million in 2003 and as a percentage
of net  revenues  was 65.3% for the  twelve  months  ended  December  31,  2003,
compared  to 57.9%  for the  twelve  months  ended  December  31,  2002,  a 5.0%
increase.  Approximately  85% and 76% of the field  services were purchased from
the  Company's  affiliate,  SMS, in 2003 and 2002,  respectively  (see Item 13 -
Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, below). SMS's increased share of
field services resulted from its more favorable cost structure.  The increase in
cost as a percentage  of net revenues is primarily a result of a decrease in per
unit  fee  revenues  that do not  have a  proportionate  decrease  in  cost.  As
discussed  above under Critical  Accounting  Policies/Revenue  Recognition,  the
Company's revenue consists of: (1) service fee revenue, which is earned when the
merchandising services are performed and, therefore,  has proportionate costs in
the period the services are  performed;  and (2) per unit fee revenue,  which is
earned when the client's product is sold to the consumer at retail, not when the
services are performed and, therefore,  does not have proportionate costs in the
period the revenue is earned.  Since the  merchandising  service and the related
costs  associated with per unit fee revenue are normally  performed prior to the
retail sale, and the retail sales of client  products are influenced by numerous
factors  including  consumer  tastes  and  preferences,  and not  solely  by the
merchandising  service performed,  in any given period, the cost of per unit fee
revenues may not be directly proportionate to the per unit fee revenue.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses include selling,  general and administrative expenses
as well as depreciation and amortization.  Selling,  general and  administrative
expenses include corporate overhead,  project management,  information  systems,
executive  compensation,  human  resource,  legal and accounting  expenses.  The
following  table  sets  forth the  operating  expenses  as a  percentage  of net
revenues for the time periods indicated:

==============  ============   ===============  =============

Selling,  general and administrative expenses increased by $2.2 million,
or 12.0%,  for the twelve  months  ended  December 31,  2003,  to $21.0  million
compared to $18.8  million for the twelve months ended  December 31, 2002.  This
increase  was due  primarily  to  increases  in travel  related  expense of $0.4
million,  postage and material expense of $0.6 million, stock option expense for
non-employees of $0.4 million and increase in bad debt expense of $0.6 million.

Depreciation  and  amortization  decreased  by  $315,000  for the twelve
months ended  December 31, 2003,  primarily  due to older,  higher priced assets
becoming fully depreciated.

Interest Expense

Interest  expense  decreased  $94,000 to $269,000 for the twelve  months
ended December 31, 2003,  from $363,000 for the twelve months ended December 31,
2002, due to decreased  average debt levels as well as decreased  interest rates
in 2003.

Income Taxes

The  provision  for income  taxes was $58,000  and $3.0  million for the
twelve months ended December 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002,  respectively.  The
tax provision for 2003 reflects minimum tax requirements for state filings.  The
effective tax rate was 36.1% for 2002.

Net (Loss) Income

The SPAR  Group had a net loss of  approximately  $539,000  or $0.03 per
basic and diluted share for the twelve months ended December 31, 2003,  compared
to a net income of  approximately  $5.3  million or $0.28 per basic and  diluted
shares for the twelve  months  ended  December  31, 2002  because of the factors
described above.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

None.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

In 2004,  the Company had a net loss of $12.3  million.  Included in the
net loss were non-cash charges of $8.1 million for impairment,  $0.7 million for
deferred tax asset valuation adjustments, $1.4 million for depreciation and $0.1
million for minority interests in losses of subsidiaries.

Net cash provided by operating  activities  for 2004,  was $1.4 million,
compared  with net cash  provided by  operations  of $3.4 million for 2003.  The
decrease of $2.0 million in cash  provided by operating  activities is primarily
due  to  net  operating  losses  offset  by  decreases  in  deferred  taxes  and
restructuring charges.

Net cash  used in  investing  activities  for  2004,  was $1.3  million,
compared  with net cash used of $2.9 million for 2003.  The decrease in net cash
used in investing  activities resulted was a result of fewer acquisitions of new
businesses and lower purchases of property and equipment in 2004.

Net cash provided by financing  activities  for 2004,  was $0.9 million,
compared  with net cash used in financing  activities  of $0.5 million for 2003.
The increase in net cash provided by financing  activities in 2004 was primarily
a result of the  consolidation  of our Japan joint  venture  into the  Company's
financial statements in 2004.

The above activity resulted in a change in cash and cash equivalents for
2004 of $0.9 million.

At December 31, 2004, the Company had positive  working  capital of $1.0
million as  compared to $4.1  million at  December  31,  2003.  The  decrease in
working  capital is due to decreases in accounts  receivable and deferred taxes,
increases in accounts payable,  customer deposits and lines of credit, partially
offset by increases in cash and decreases in accrued  expenses and other current
liabilities,  accrued expenses due to affiliates and restructuring  charges. The
Company's  current  ratio  was 1.08  and 1.34 at  December  31,  2004 and  2003,
respectively.

In January 2003, the Company and Webster  Business  Credit  Corporation,
then known as Whitehall  Business Credit Corporation  ("Webster"),  entered into
the Third  Amended and  Restated  Revolving  Credit and Security  Agreement  (as
amended,  collectively,  the "Credit Facility").  The Credit Facility provided a
$15.0 million  revolving  credit  facility that matures on January 23, 2006. The
Credit  Facility  allowed the Company to borrow up to $15.0 million based upon a
borrowing  base  formula  as  defined  in  the  agreement  (principally  85%  of
"eligible"  accounts  receivable).  On May 17,  2004,  the Credit  Facility  was
amended to among other things,  reduce the revolving  credit facility from $15.0
million to $10.0 million, change the interest rate and increase reserves against
collateral. The amendment provides for interest to be charged at a rate based in
part upon the earnings before interest,  taxes,  depreciation and  amortization.
The average  interest rate for 2004 was 5.1%.  At December 31, 2004,  the Credit
Facility bears interest at Webster's "Alternative Base Rate" plus 0.75% (a total
of 6.0% per annum),  or LIBOR plus 3.25%.  The Credit Facility is secured by all
of the assets of the Company and its domestic  subsidiaries.  In connection with
the May 17,  2004,  amendment,  Mr.  Robert  Brown,  a 

-24-

Director,  the  Chairman,  President  and Chief  Executive  Officer  and a major
stockholder of theCompany and Mr. William Bartels, a Director, the Vice Chairman
and a major stockholder of the Company,  provided personal  guarantees  totaling
$1.0  million to Webster.  On August 20, 2004,  the Credit  Facility was further
amended  in  connection  with the  waiver of certain  covenant  violations  (see
below). The amendment, among other things, reduced the revolving credit facility
from $10.0 million to $7.0 million,  changed the covenant compliance testing for
certain  covenants from quarterly to monthly and reduced  certain advance rates.
On November 15,  2004,  the Credit  Facility  was further  amended to delete any
required  minimum Net Worth and minimum  Fixed Charge  Coverage  Ratio  covenant
levels for the period ending  December 31, 2004.  The  amendments did not change
the future covenant levels. The Credit Facility also limits certain expenditures
including, but not limited to, capital expenditures and other investments.

The Company was in  violation of certain  monthly  covenants at December
31, 2004, and expects to be in violation at future  measurement  dates.  Webster
issued a waiver for the December 31, 2004 covenant  violations.  However,  there
can be no assurances that Webster will issue such waivers in the future.

Because  of the  requirement  to  maintain a lock box  arrangement  with
Webster,  Webster's  ability to invoke a subjective  acceleration  clause at its
discretion and the expected future  covenant  violations,  borrowings  under the
Credit Facility are classified as current at December 31, 2004, and December 31,
2003, in accordance with EITF 95-22.  Balance Sheet Classification of Borrowings
Outstanding  Under  Revolving  Credit  Agreements That Include Both a Subjective
Acceleration Clause and a Lock-Box Agreement.

The revolving loan balances  outstanding  under the Credit Facility were
$4.1 million at December 31, 2004, and December 31, 2003.  There were letters of
credit  outstanding  under the Credit  Facility of $0.7  million at December 31,
2004,  and December 31,  2003.  As of December 31, 2004,  the Company had unused
availability  under the Credit  Facility of $1.4  million  out of the  remaining
maximum  $2.2  million  unused  revolving  line of  credit  after  reducing  the
borrowing base by outstanding loans and letters of credit.

In 2001, the Japanese joint venture SPAR FM Japan,  Inc.  entered into a
revolving line of credit  arrangement with Japanese banks for 300 million yen or
$2.7 million (based upon the exchange rate at September 30, 2004).  At September
30, 2004, SPAR FM Japan, Inc. had 100 million yen or approximately $900,000 loan
balance  outstanding under the line of credit. The line of credit is effectively
guarantied by the Company and the joint venture partner, Paltac Corporation. The
average  interest rates on the borrowings  under the Japanese line of credit for
its short-term  bank loans at September 30, 2004 and 2003 were 1.375% and 1.375%
per annum, respectively.

The Company's international model is to partner with local merchandising
companies  and combine  their  knowledge of the local market with the  Company's
proprietary software and expertise in the merchandising  business.  In 2001, the
Company established its first joint venture and has continued this strategy.  As
of this filing,  the Company is currently  operating in Japan,  Canada,  Turkey,
South Africa and India.  The Company also announced the  establishment  of joint
ventures in Romania and China.

Certain of these  joint  ventures  and joint  venture  subsidiaries  are
marginally  profitable  while  others  are  operating  at a loss.  None of these
entities  have excess  cash  reserves.  In the event of  continued  losses,  the
Company may be required to provide  additional  cash  infusions into these joint
ventures and joint venture subsidiaries.

Management believes that based upon the results of Company's cost saving
initiatives and the existing  credit  facilities,  sources of cash  availability
will be sufficient to support  ongoing  operations  over the next twelve months.
However, delays in collection of receivables due from any of the Company's major
clients,  or a significant  further reduction in business from such clients,  or
the  inability  to acquire new  clients,  or the  Company's  inability to remain
profitable,  or the  inability  to  obtain  bank  waivers  for  future  covenant
violations  could have a material adverse effect on the Company's cash resources
and its ongoing ability to fund operations.

Item 7A.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

The  Company's   accounting  policies  for  financial   instruments  and
disclosures  relating  to  financial  instruments  require  that  the  Company's
consolidated  balance sheets include the following financial  instruments:  cash
and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and lines of credit.
The Company considers  carrying amounts of current assets and liabilities in the
consolidated  financial  statements  to  approximate  the fair  value  for these
financial  instruments  because of the  relatively  short period of time between
origination  of the  instruments  and their  expected  realization.  The Company
monitors the risks  associated  with  interest  rates and  financial  instrument
positions.  The Company's  investment policy objectives require the preservation
and safety of the principal,  and the  maximization  of the return on investment
based upon the safety and liquidity objectives.

The Company is exposed to market risk related to the  variable  interest
rate on its lines of credit. As of December 31, 2004, the variable interest rate
on the  Company's  lines of credit were 6.0% on its domestic  line of credit and
1.4% on its Japanese line of credit.

The  Company  has  foreign   currency   exposure   associated  with  its
international  100% owned subsidiary,  its 51% owned joint venture  subsidiaries
and its 50%  owned  joint  ventures.  In 2004,  these  exposures  are  primarily
concentrated  in the Canadian  dollar,  Japanese yen and South  African rand. At
December 31, 2004,  international  assets totaled $2.8 million and international
liabilities totaled $3.8 million. For 2004,  international revenues totaled $8.2
million and the Company's share of the net losses was approximately $500,000.

Investment Portfolio

The  Company  has no  derivative  financial  instruments  or  derivative
commodity  instruments  in  its  cash  and  cash  equivalents  and  investments.
Domestically,  excess cash is normally  used to pay down its  revolving  line of
credit. Internationally, excess cash is used to fund operations.

Item 8.  Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.

See Item 15 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 9.  Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and 
Financial Disclosure.

None.

Item 9A.  Controls and Procedures.

The  Company's  Chief  Executive  Officer  and Chief  Financial  Officer
evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's  disclosure controls and procedures
(as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14) as of the end of the period
covering this report. Based on this evaluation,  the Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial  Officer  concluded that the Company's  disclosure  controls and
procedures  are  effective  to provide  reasonable  assurance  that  information
required to be  disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits
under the Exchange Act is recorded,  processed,  summarized and reported  within
the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and
forms.

committee  members  under  Nasdaq  Rule  4200(a)(14).  In  connection  with  his

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance.

Section  16(a)  of the  Exchange  Act  ("Section  16(a)")  requires  the
Company's  directors  and certain of its  officers and persons who own more than
10% of the Company's Common Stock (collectively, "Insiders"), to file reports of
ownership and changes in their ownership of the Company's  Common Stock with the
Commission.  Insiders  are  required by  Commission  regulations  to furnish the
Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

Based  solely on its review of the copies of such forms  received  by it
for the year ended  December 31, 2004, or written  representations  from certain
reporting persons for such year, the Company believes that its Insiders complied
with all applicable  Section 16(a) filing  requirements  for such year, with the
exception that Robert G. Brown, William H. Bartels, Jack W. Partridge and Robert
O. Aders untimely filed certain Statements of Changes in Beneficial Ownership on
Form 4. Kori Belzer and Patricia Franco became filers in March of 2004. All such
Section  16(a)  filing  requirements  have since been  completed  by each of the
aforementioned individuals.

Ethics Codes

The Company has adopted  codes of ethical  conduct  applicable to all of
its directors,  officers and employees, as approved and recommended by the Audit
Committee and  Governance  Committee and adopted by the Board on May 3, 2004, in
accordance  with Nasdaq Rules.  These codes of conduct  consist of: (1) the SPAR
Group Code of Ethical Conduct for its Directors, Senior Executives and Employees
Dated (as of) May 1, 2004; and (2) the SPAR Group Statement of Policy  Regarding
Personal Securities  Transaction in SGRP Stock and Non-Public Information Dated,
Amended and Restated as of May 1, 2004,  which amends,  restates and  completely
replaces its existing similar statement of policy. Both Committees were involved
because  authority  over ethics codes  shifted  from the Audit  Committee to the
Governance  Committee  with the  adoption of the  committee  charters on May 18,
2004.   Copies  of  these  codes  and  policies  are  posted  and  available  to
stockholders and the public on the Company's web site (www.SPARinc.com).

Stock Option and Purchase Plans

The Company has four stock option  plans:  the Amended and Restated 1995
Stock Option Plan ("1995 Plan"),  the 1995 Director's Plan ("Director's  Plan"),
the Special Purpose Stock Option Plan (the "Special Purpose Plan"), and the 2000
Stock Option Plan ("2000 Plan").

The  1995  Plan  provided  for  the  granting  of  either  incentive  or
nonqualified stock options to specific employees,  consultants, and directors of
the Company for the purchase of up to 3,500,000  shares of the Company's  common
stock. The options had a term of ten years from the date of issuance,  except in
the case of incentive stock options granted to greater than 10% stockholders for
which the term was five years. The exercise price of nonqualified  stock options
must have been equal to at least 85% of the fair market  value of the  Company's
common stock at the date of grant.  Since 2000,  the Company has not granted any
new options under this plan.  During 2004,  1,500 options to purchase  shares of
the Company's  common stock were exercised and options to purchase 26,625 shares
of the  Company's  stock were  cancelled  

-32-

under this plan. At December 31, 2004,  options to purchase 15,125 shares of the
Company's  common stock remain  outstanding  under this plan.  The 1995 Plan was
superseded by the 2000 Plan with respect to all new options issued.

The Director's Plan was a stock option plan for  non-employee  directors
and provided for the purchase of up to 120,000  shares of the  Company's  common
stock.  Since 2000, the Company has not granted any new options under this plan.
During 2004, no options to purchase  shares of the  Company's  common stock were
exercised  under this plan.  At December  31, 2004,  20,000  options to purchase
shares of the Company's common stock remained  outstanding  under this plan. The
Director's  Plan has been  replaced  by the 2000  Plan with  respect  to all new
options issued.

On July 8, 1999, in connection with the merger, the Company  established
the Special Purpose Plan of PIA Merchandising  Services, Inc. to provide for the
issuance of substitute options to the holders of outstanding  options granted by
SPAR  Acquisition,  Inc. There were 134,114  options granted at $0.01 per share.
Since July 8, 1999, the Company has not granted any new options under this plan.
During 2004,  21,000  options to purchase  shares of the Company's  common stock
were exercised under this plan. At December 31, 2004,  options to purchase 4,750
shares of the Company's common stock remain outstanding under this plan.

On December 4, 2000, the Company adopted the 2000 Plan, as the successor
to the 1995 Plan and the Director's Plan with respect to all new options issued.
The 2000 Plan  provides  for the granting of either  incentive  or  nonqualified
stock options to specified employees,  consultants, and directors of the Company
for the purchase of up to 3,600,000 (less those options still  outstanding under
the 1995 Plan or  exercised  after  December 4, 2000 under the 1995  Plan).  The
options have a term of ten years,  except in the case of incentive stock options
granted to greater than 10%  stockholders  for whom the term is five years.  The
exercise  price of  nonqualified  stock options must be equal to at least 85% of
the  fair  market  value  of the  Company's  common  stock  at the date of grant
(although  typically  the options are issued at 100% of the fair market  value),
and the exercise price of incentive  stock options must be equal to at least the
fair market value of the  Company's  common  stock at the date of grant.  During
2004,  options to purchase  476,417  shares of the  Company's  common stock were
granted,  options to purchase  53,302 shares of the Company's  common stock were
exercised and options to purchase  1,345,542  shares of the Company's stock were
voluntarily  surrendered  and  cancelled  under this plan. At December 31, 2004,
options to  purchase  1,251,383  shares of the  Company's  common  stock  remain
outstanding  under this plan and  options to  purchase  1,618,719  shares of the
Company's common stock were available for grant under this plan.

In 2001,  SGRP adopted its 2001 Employee  Stock  Purchase Plan (the "ESP
Plan"),  which replaced its earlier existing plan, and its 2001 Consultant Stock
Purchase  Plan (the "CSP Plan").  These plans were each  effective as of June 1,
2001.  The ESP Plan allows  employees  of the  Company,  and the CSP Plan allows
employees of the affiliates of the Company (see Item 13 - Certain  Relationships
and Related  Transactions,  below),  to purchase  SGRP's  Common Stock from SGRP
without having to pay any brokerage commissions. On August 8, 2002, SGRP's Board
approved a 15%  discount  for  employee  purchases of Common Stock under the ESP
Plan and  recommended  that its  affiliates  pay a 15% cash bonus for  affiliate
consultant purchases of Common Stock under the CSP Plan.

Compensation of Directors

The Company's  Compensation  Committee administers the compensation plan
for its outside  Directors as well as the compensation for its executives.  Each
member of the Company's Board who is not otherwise an employee or officer of the
Company or any  subsidiary  or  affiliate  of the Company  (each,  an  "Eligible
Director") is eligible to receive the compensation contemplated under such plan.

In January  2001,  SGRP adopted the Director  Compensation  Plan for its
outside  Directors,  as  approved  by the  Board,  as  amended  (the  "Directors
Compensation  Plan").  SGRP's Compensation  Committee  administers the Directors
Compensation Plan as well as the compensation for SGRP's executives.

Under the Directors  Compensation  Plan, each member of SGRP's Board who
is not  otherwise an employee or officer of SGRP or any  subsidiary or affiliate
of SGRP (each, a "Non-Employee Director") is eligible to receive director's fees
of  $30,000  per  annum  (plus an  additional  $5,000  per  annum  for the Audit
Committee  Chairman),  payable  quarterly.  Each  quarterly  installment of such
director's  fees  ($7,500  plus an  additional  $1,250  for the Audit  Committee
Chairman) is paid half in cash and half in stock  options to purchase  shares of
SGRP's common stock.  Prior to May 2004,  SGRP issued such stock options with an
exercise  price of $0.01 per  share.  The  number of option  shares  issued  was
calculated by dividing the amount of compensation to be paid in stock options by
the  closing  stock  price  at the  end  of  each  quarter.  In  May  2004,  the
Compensation  Committee  approved and recommended and the Board adopted a change
in this policy to instead  issue such stock  options for the  purchase of common
stock with an exercise  price  equal to 100% of the fair 

-33-

market value of SGRP's  common stock at the end of each  quarter.  The number of
option  shares to be issued  will be equal to three  times the  quotient  of the
amount of  compensation to be paid in stock options divided by the closing stock
price at the end of each  quarter.  The  Compensation  Committee  and the  Board
determined  that this revised policy more fairly  compensated  the  Non-Employee
Directors.

In addition  upon  acceptance  of the  directorship,  each  Non-Employee
Director  receives options to purchase 10,000 shares of SGRP's common stock with
an exercise  price equal to 100% of the fair market value of SGRP's common stock
at the date of grant,  options to purchase  10,000  additional  shares of SGRP's
common  stock with an exercise  price equal to 100% of the fair market  value of
SGRP's  common  stock at the date of grant after one year of service and options
to purchase  10,000  additional  shares of SGRP's  common stock with an exercise
price equal to 100% of the fair market value of SGRP's  common stock at the date
of grant for each additional year of service thereafter.

All of those  options to  Non-Employee  Directors  have been and will be
granted  under the 2000 Plan  described  above,  under  which each member of the
Board is eligible to participate.  Non-Employee Directors will be reimbursed for
all reasonable expenses incurred during the course of their duties.  There is no
additional  compensation for committee  participation,  phone meetings, or other
Board activities.

Severance Agreements

The  Company has entered  into a Change of Control  Severance  Agreement
with each of Patricia Franco, the Company's Chief Information  Officer, and Kori
G. Belzer, the Company's Chief Operating Officer,  each providing for a lump sum
severance  payment and other  accommodations  from the  Company to the  employee
under certain  circumstances  if, pending or following a change in control,  the
employee leaves for good reason or is terminated other than in a termination for
cause. The payment is equal to the sum of the employee's  monthly salary times a
multiple  equal to 24 months less the number of months by which the  termination
of  employment  followed the change in control plus the maximum bonus that would
have  been paid to the  employee  (not to exceed  25% of the  employee's  annual
salary).

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

No member of the Board's  Compensation  Committee was at any time during
the year ended December 31, 2004, or at any other time an officer or employee of
the  Company.  No executive  officer or board member of the Company  serves as a
member of the board of directors or compensation  committee of any other entity,
that has one or more  executive  officers  serving as a member of the  Company's
Board or Compensation  Committee,  except for the positions of Messrs. Brown and
Bartels  as  directors  and  officers  of the  Company  (including  each  of its
subsidiaries) and each of its affiliates,  including SMS, SMSI and SIT (see Item
13 - Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, below).

Item 13.   Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.

Mr.  Robert G. Brown,  a Director,  the  Chairman,  President  and Chief
Executive  Officer and a major  stockholder  of the Company,  and Mr. William H.
Bartels,  a Director,  the Vice Chairman and a major stockholder of the Company,
are executive officers and the sole stockholders and directors of SPAR Marketing
Services,  Inc.  ("SMS"),  SPAR Management  Services,  Inc.  ("SMSI"),  and SPAR
Infotech, Inc. ("SIT").

SMS  and  SMSI  provided   approximately  99%  of  the  Company's  field
representatives   (through   its   independent   contractor   field  force)  and
approximately  92%  of  the  Company's  field  management  at a  total  cost  of
approximately  $24.0 million,  $36.0 million,  and $30.5 million for 2004, 2003,
and 2002, respectively.  Pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Field
Service  Agreement  dated as of January 1, 2004,  SMS  provides  the services of
SMS's field force of approximately 6,300 independent contractors to the Company.
Pursuant to the terms of the Amended and  Restated  Field  Management  Agreement
dated as of January 1, 2004, SMSI provides  approximately 50 full-time national,
regional and district managers to the Company.  For those services,  the Company
has agreed to reimburse  SMS and SMSI for all of their costs of providing  those
services and to pay SMS and SMSI each a premium equal to 4% of their  respective
costs,  except that for 2004 SMSI agreed to concessions that reduced the premium
paid by approximately  $640,000 for 2004. Total net premiums (4% of SMS and SMSI
costs less 2004  concessions)  paid to SMS and SMSI for services  rendered  were
approximately  $320,000,  $1,350,000,  and $1,100,000 for 2004,  2003, and 2002,
respectively.  The Company has been advised  that Messrs.  Brown and Bartels are
not  paid any  salaries  as  officers  of SMS or SMSI so  there  were no  salary
reimbursements  for them included in such costs or premium.  However,  since SMS
and SMSI are "Subchapter S" corporations, Messrs. Brown and Bartels benefit from
any income of such companies allocated to them.

SIT  provided  substantially  all of the Internet  computer  programming
services to the Company at a total cost of approximately $1,170,000, $1,610,000,
and  $1,630,000  for  2004,   2003,   and  2002,   respectively.   SIT  provided
approximately 34,000,  47,000, and 46,000 hours of Internet computer programming
services to the Company for 2004, 2003, and 2002, respectively.  Pursuant to the
Amended and Restated  Programming  and Support  Agreement dated as of January 1,
2004, SIT continues to provide programming services to the Company for which the
Company  has agreed to pay SIT  competitive  hourly wage rates for time spent on
Company matters and to reimburse the related  out-of-pocket  expenses of SIT and
its personnel.  The average hourly billing rate was $34.71,  $34.24,  and $35.10
for 2004,  2003,  and 2002,  respectively.  The Company has been advised that no
hourly charges or business  expenses for Messrs.  Brown and Bartels were charged
to the  Company  by SIT  for  2004.  However,  since  SIT  is a  "Subchapter  S"
corporation,  Messrs.  Brown and Bartels benefit from any income of such company
allocated to them.

In November  2004 and January  2005,  the Company  entered into separate
operating  lease   agreements   between  SMS  and  the  Company's  wholly  owned
subsidiaries,  SPAR Marketing Force, Inc. ("SMF") and SPAR Canada Company ("SPAR
Canada"). Each lease has a 36 month term and has representations,  covenants and
defaults customary for the leasing industry. The SMF lease has a monthly payment
of $20,318 and is for handheld  computers to be used by field  merchandisers  in
the performance of various  merchandising  services in the United States.  These
handheld  computers had an original purchase price of $632,200.  The SPAR Canada
lease has a monthly payment of $3,326 and is for handheld

-36-

computers  to be used by  field  merchandisers  in the  performance  of  various
merchandising  services  in Canada.  These  handheld  computers  had an original
purchase price of $105,000.

The  Company's  agreements  with  SMS,  SMSI  and SIT  are  periodically
reviewed by the Company's Audit Committee,  which includes an examination of the
overall  fairness of the  arrangements.  In February 2004,  the Audit  Committee
approved  separate  amended and restated  agreements  with each of SMS, SMSI and
SIT,  effective  as of January  1,  2004.  The  restated  agreements  extend the
contract maturities for four years,  strengthened various contractual provisions
in each  agreement  and  continued  the  basic  economic  terms of the  existing
agreements,  except that the restated agreement with SMSI provides for temporary
concessions to the Company by SMSI totalling approximately $640,000 for 2004.

In July  1999,  SMF,  SMS  and SIT  entered  into a  Software  Ownership
Agreement with respect to Internet job scheduling  software jointly developed by
such parties. In addition,  SPAR Trademarks,  Inc. ("STM"),  SMS and SIT entered
into  trademark  licensing  agreements  whereby  STM has  granted  non-exclusive
royalty-free  licenses to SIT, SMS and SMSI for their  continued use of the name
"SPAR" and certain other  trademarks  and related  rights  transferred to STM, a
wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

Messrs.  Brown and  Bartels  also  collectively  own,  through  SMSI,  a
minority  (less than 5%) equity  interest  in  Affinity  Insurance  Ltd.,  which
provides certain insurance to the Company.

In  April  2003,   all  previously   outstanding   amounts  due  certain
stockholders under certain notes were paid in full.

In the  event of any  material  dispute  in the  business  relationships
between the Company and SMS, SMSI, or SIT, it is possible that Messrs.  Brown or
Bartels  may  have one or more  conflicts  of  interest  with  respect  to these
relationships  and such  dispute  could  have a material  adverse  effect on the
Company.

Item 14. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.

On  October  4,  2004,  Ernst  &  Young  LLP  ("E&Y")  resigned  as  the
independent   registered   public  accounting  firm  for  the  Company  and  its
subsidiaries.  The  resignation was effective upon completion of E&Y's review of
the interim  financial  information for the Company's third fiscal quarter ended
September  30, 2004,  and the filing of the Company's  quarterly  report on Form
10-Q for such period.

In January 2005, the Company,  with the approval of the Company's  Audit
Committee,  appointed Rehmann Robson  ("Rehmann") as its independent  registered
public accounting firm to audit the financial  statements of the Company for its
year ending December 31, 2004.

The  Company  and its  subsidiaries  did not  engage  Rehmann  or E&Y to
provide advice regarding financial information systems design or implementation,
but did engage E&Y for tax consulting  services  related to the PHI/SPGI ESOP in
2003  (for  which  E&Y was paid  $3,778),  due  diligence  services  for the IMS
acquisition during 2003 (for which E&Y was paid $14,334) and for tax services in
2003 (for which E&Y was paid $2,295). No other non-audit services were performed
by  Rehmann  or E&Y in 2004 or  2003.  Since  2003,  as  required  by law,  each
non-audit  service performed by the Company's auditor either (i) was approved in
advance on a case-by-case  basis by the Company's Audit  Committee,  or (ii) fit
within a pre-approved  "basket" of non-audit  services of limited amount,  scope
and  duration  established  in  advance by the  Company's  Audit  Committee.  In
connection  with the standards  for  independence  of the Company's  independent
public accountants  promulgated by the Securities and Exchange  Commission,  the
Audit  Committee  considers  (among other things)  whether the provision of such
non-audit  services would be compatible  with  maintaining  the  independence of
Rehmann or E&Y.

Audit Fees

During the  Company's  fiscal  year ended  December  31,  2004 and 2003,
respectively,  fees billed by E&Y for all audit services rendered to the Company
and its subsidiaries  were $100,203 and $179,362,  respectively.  Audit services
principally include fees for the Company's audits and 10-Q filing reviews. Since
2003,  as required  by law,  the choice of the  Company's  auditor and the audit
services to be  performed by it have been  approved in advance by the  Company's
Audit Committee.

We have  audited  the  consolidated  balance  sheet  of  SPAR  Group,  Inc.  and
Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2004, and the related consolidated statements of
operations,  stockholders'  equity,  and cash flows for the year then ended. Our

(2004 information only) based on our audit.

Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and  perform  the  audit  to  obtain  reasonable  assurance  about  whether  the
consolidated  financial statements are free of material  misstatement.  An audit
includes  examining,  on a test  basis,  evidence  supporting  the  amounts  and
disclosures in the  consolidated  financial  statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our  opinion,  based on our  audit,  the  consolidated  financial  statements
referred to above present fairly,  in all material  respects,  the  consolidated
financial position of SPAR Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2004,

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2004

1. Business and Organization

The SPAR Group,  Inc., a Delaware  corporation  ("SGRP"),  and its  subsidiaries
(together  with SGRP,  the "SPAR  Group" or the  "Company"),  is a  supplier  of
merchandising  and other  marketing  services  throughout  the United States and
internationally.  The  Company  also  provides  database  marketing,  technology
services, teleservices and marketing research.

SPAR  Acquisition,  Inc., and its  subsidiaries  (the "SPAR  Companies") are the
original  predecessor  of the Company and were founded in 1967. On July 8, 1999,
SGRP completed a reverse merger with the SPAR Companies (the "PIA Acquisition"),
and then changed its name to SPAR Group, Inc., from PIA Merchandising  Services,
Inc. (prior to such merger,  "PIA").  Pursuant to the PIA Acquisition,  the SPAR
Companies were deemed to have "acquired" PIA and its  subsidiaries  prior to the
PIA Acquisition  (the "PIA  Companies"),  which was treated as a purchase of the
PIA Companies for accounting purposes, with the books and records of the Company
being  adjusted  to  reflect  the  historical  operating  results  of  the  SPAR
Companies.  In 2002,  the Company sold its Incentive  Marketing  Division,  SPAR
Performance Group, Inc. ("SPGI").

The Company's  continuing  operations  are now divided into two  divisions:  the
Domestic  Merchandising  Services Division and the  International  Merchandising
Services  Division.   The  Domestic  Merchandising  Services  Division  provides
merchandising  services,  in-store  product  demonstrations,  product  sampling,
database marketing,  technology services, teleservices and marketing research to
manufacturers  and  retailers  in the United  States.  The various  services are
primarily  performed in mass merchandisers,  drug store chains,  convenience and
grocery stores. The International  Merchandising Services Division,  established
in July 2000, currently provides  merchandising  services through a wholly owned
subsidiary in Canada,  through 51% owned joint venture  subsidiaries  in Turkey,
South  Africa,  India and Romania and through 50% owned joint  ventures in Japan
and  China.  The  Company  continues  to focus on  expanding  its  merchandising
services business throughout the world. 

Domestic Merchandising Services Division

The Company's  Domestic  Merchandising  Services  Division  provides  nationwide
merchandising  and other  marketing  services  primarily  on behalf of  consumer
product manufacturers and retailers at mass merchandisers, drug store chains and
retail grocery stores. Included in its customers are home entertainment, general
merchandise,  health and beauty care, consumer goods and food products companies
in the United States.

Merchandising services primarily consist of regularly scheduled dedicated routed
services  and  special  projects  provided  at the store  level  for a  specific
retailer  or  single  or  multiple  manufacturers   primarily  under  single  or
multi-year   contracts  or   agreements.   Services  also  include   stand-alone
large-scale   implementations.   These  services  may  include  sales  enhancing
activities such as ensuring that client products authorized for distribution are
in  stock  and  on  the  shelf,  adding  new  products  that  are  approved  for
distribution  but not  presently  on the  shelf,  setting  category  shelves  in
accordance  with  approved  store  schematics,  ensuring  that shelf tags are in
place,  checking for the overall  salability of client  products and setting new
and  promotional  items and placing and/or  removing point of purchase and other
related  media  advertising.  Specific  in-store  services  can be  initiated by
retailers  or  manufacturers,  and  include  new  store  openings,  new  product
launches, special seasonal or promotional merchandising, focused product support
and product recalls.  The Company also provides  in-store product  demonstration
and in-store product sampling services, database marketing, technology services,
teleservices and marketing research services.

Discontinued Operations - Incentive Marketing Division

In the fourth  quarter of 2001,  the  Company  made the  decision  to divest its
interest in SPGI.

On June 30,  2002,  SPAR  Incentive  Marketing,  Inc.  ("SIM"),  a  wholly-owned
subsidiary  of  the  Company,  entered  into a  Stock  Purchase  Agreement  with
Performance  Holdings,  Inc. ("PHI"),  a Delaware  corporation  headquartered in
Carrollton, Texas. SIM sold all of the stock of its subsidiary, SPGI, to PHI for
$6.0 million.  As a condition of the sale, PHI issued and contributed  1,000,000
shares  of its  common  stock  to  Performance  Holdings,  Inc.  Employee  Stock
Ownership Plan, which became the only shareholder of PHI.

The $6.0 million  sales price was  evidenced by two Term Loans,  an Initial Term
Loan  totaling  $2.5 million and an  Additional  Term Loan totaling $3.5 million
(collectively  the "Term  Loans").  The Term Loans were  guarantied  by SPGI and
secured by pledges  of all assets of PHI and SPGI.  The Term Loans had  interest
rates of 12% per  annum  through  December  31,  2003.  On  January  1, 2004 the
interest  rate changed to 8.9% per annum.  Because the  collection  of the notes
depended on the future  operations  of PHI,  the $6.0  million  notes were fully
reserved.

Also in connection  with the sale, the Company agreed to provide a discretionary
revolving  line  of  credit  to SPGI  not to  exceed  $2.0  million  (the  "SPGI
Revolver") through September 30, 2005. The SPGI Revolver was secured by a pledge
of all the  assets  of SPGI and was  guarantied  by SPGI's  parent,  Performance
Holdings,  Inc.  The SPGI  Revolver  provided  for  advances  in  excess  of the
borrowing  base  through  September  30, 2003.  As of October 1, 2003,  the SPGI
Revolver  was  adjusted,  as per the  agreement,  to  include a  borrowing  base
calculation  (principally 85% of "eligible" accounts  receivable).  In September

1. Business and Organization (continued)

2003,  SPGI requested and the Company  agreed to provide  advances of up to $1.0
million in excess of the borrowing base through  September 30, 2004. In December
of 2003, SPGI changed its name to STIMULYS, Inc ("STIMULYS"). On April 30, 2004,
as  a  result  of  various  defaults  by  STIMULYS,   the  Company  amended  the
discretionary  line of credit by  eliminating  advances  in excess of  STIMULYS'
borrowing  base and reducing  the maximum  amount of the  revolving  line to the
greater of $1.0 million or the borrowing  base.  Under the SPGI Revolver  terms,
STIMULYS was required to deposit all of its cash receipts to the Company's  lock
box.

On September  10, 2004,  in  consideration  for a new  Promissory  Note totaling
$764,271 (which  represented the amount  outstanding  under the SPGI Revolver at
that time) and in the event of a change in control of  STIMULYS,  a share in the
net proceeds  resulting from such change in control,  the Company terminated the
SPGI Revolver and the Term Loans.  SPAR also  released its security  interest in
any collateral  previously pledged by STIMULYS.  The first payment due under the
Promissory  Note was received on October 29, 2004.  Due to the  collection  risk
associated  with the Promissory  Note, the Company has established a reserve for
the  remaining  amount  due,  including  interest of  approximately  $355,000 at
December 31, 2004.

As a result of the termination of the SPGI Revolver,  the reserve for collection
of advances and accrued interest under the SPGI Revolver previously  established
by the Company  totaling  approximately  $984,000  was no longer  required.  The
release of this  reserve,  net of the new reserve  required  for the  Promissory
Note, resulted in Other Income totaling approximately $640,000 for 2004.

Principles of Consolidation

The  Company  consolidates  its  100%  owned  subsidiaries.   The  Company  also
consolidates  its 51% owned joint venture  subsidiaries  and its 50% owned joint
ventures  where the  Company is the  primary  beneficiary  because  the  Company
believes  this  presentation  is  fairer  and  more  meaningful.  Rule  3A-02 of
Regulation  S-X,  Consolidated  Financial  Statements of the  Registrant and its
Subsidiaries,  states  that  consolidated  statements  are  presumed  to be more
meaningful, that majority owned subsidiaries (more than 50%) generally should be
consolidated,   and  that  circumstances  may  require  consolidation  of  other
subsidiaries  to achieve a fairer  presentation  of its financial  condition and
results. In addition, the Company has determined that under Financial Accounting
Standards   Board   Interpretation   Number  46,  as  revised   December   2003,
Consolidation of Variable  Interest  Entities ("FIN 46(R)"),  the Company is the
primary  beneficiary  of its 51% owned joint  venture  subsidiaries  and its 50%
owned joint ventures, which accordingly requires consolidation of those entities
into the Company's financial statements.  All significant  intercompany accounts
and transactions have been eliminated.

In 2004, due to the amendment of a royalty agreement between the Company and its
50% owned Japanese joint venture,  the Company has determined that in accordance
with FIN 46(R) it is the primary beneficiary of the Japanese joint venture,  and
has consolidated the Japanese  financial results for 2004 in accordance with the
provisions  of FIN 46(R).  The  Japanese  joint  venture's  fiscal year ended on
September 30, 2004 and accordingly  its financial  statements were audited as of
that date. In connection with the  consolidation the Company began reporting the
Japanese  joint  venture's  financial  results as of and for the  period  ending
September 30, 2004. Therefore,  for 2004, the Company's  consolidated  financial
statements  only include the Japanese joint venture  financial  results for nine
months ended  September 30, 2004. In 2004, the Japanese  joint venture  recorded
revenue of approximately $2.6 million,  total assets of approximately  $822,000,
total  liabilities of approximately  $1.2 million and a deficit of approximately
$445,000. In 2003 and 2002, prior 

F-9

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
December 31, 2004

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

to the amendment of the royalty agreement,  the investment in the Japanese joint
venture was  accounted  for using the equity method based upon the Company's 50%
ownership.

At  December  31,   2004,   international   assets   totaled  $2.8  million  and
international liabilities totaled $3.8 million. For 2004, international revenues
totaled $8.2 million and the Company's share of the net losses was approximately
$500,000.

Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid  short-term  investments with maturities
of three months or less at the time of acquisition to be cash equivalents.  Cash
equivalents are stated at a cost, which approximates fair value.

Revenue Recognition

The Company's  services are provided under contracts or agreements.  The Company
bills its  clients  based upon  service fee or unit fee  arrangements.  Revenues
under service fee arrangements are recognized when the service is performed. The
Company's per unit fee  arrangements  provide for fees to be earned based on the
retail sales of a client's  products to consumers.  The Company  recognizes  per
unit fees in the period such amounts become determinable and are reported to the
Company.

Unbilled Accounts Receivable

Unbilled accounts receivable represent services performed but not billed.

Doubtful Accounts, Sales Allowances and Credit Risks

The Company  continually  monitors the validity of its accounts receivable based
upon current customer credit information and financial condition.  Balances that
are  deemed to be  uncollectible  after the  Company  has  attempted  reasonable
collection  efforts are  written off through a charge to the bad debt  allowance
and a credit to accounts receivable.  Accounts receivable balances are stated at
the amount that management expects to collect from the outstanding balances. The
Company provides for probable uncollectible amounts through a charge to earnings
and a credit  to bad debt  allowance  based on  management's  assessment  of the
current status of individual  accounts.  Based on management's  assessment,  the
Company  established an allowance for doubtful accounts of $761,000 and $515,000
at December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The Company also recorded a reserve
for sales allowances for potential  customer credits of $448,000 at December 31,
2003.  Bad debt and  sales  allowance  expenses  were  $366,000,  $825,000,  and
$262,000 in 2004, 2003, and 2002, respectively.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment,  including leasehold  improvements,  are stated at cost.
Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line  basis over estimated useful lives
of the  related  assets,  which  range  from  three  to seven  years.  Leasehold
improvements are depreciated over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or
lease term, using the straight-line method.

Internal Use Software Development Costs

In  accordance  with SOP 98-1,  Accounting  for the Costs of  Computer  Software
Developed or Obtained for Internal  Use, the Company  capitalizes  certain costs
associated with its internally  developed  software.  Specifically,  the Company
capitalizes  the costs of  materials  and  services  incurred in  developing  or
obtaining internal use software.  These costs include but are not limited to the
cost to purchase  software,  the cost to write  program code,  payroll,  payroll
related  benefits  and travel  expenses  for those  employees  who are  directly
involved  with  and  who  devote  time  to the  Company's  software  development
projects. Capitalized software development costs are amortized over three years.

The Company capitalized $559,000,  $1,004,000,  and $772,000 of costs related to
software developed for internal use in 2004, 2003, and 2002, respectively.

In 2004, the Company recorded an impairment charge against capitalized  software
costs  due to the  loss  of  certain  clients  during  the  year  (see  Note 3 -
Impairment Charges).

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company  reviews its  long-lived  assets for impairment  whenever  events or
changes in circumstances indicate that an assets's carrying amount may be higher
than its fair value.  If an asset is considered to be impaired,  the  impairment
charge  recognized is the excess of the asset's  carrying value over the asset's
fair value (see Note 3 - Impairment Charges).

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The  Company's  balance  sheets  include the  following  financial  instruments:
accounts  receivable,  accounts  payable  and a lines  of  credit.  The  Company
considers  the  carrying  amounts  of  current  assets  and  liabilities  in the
financial   statements  to  approximate  the  fair  value  for  these  financial
instruments,  because of the relatively short period of time between origination
of the  instruments  and their  expected  realization  or payment.  The carrying
amount of the lines of credit  approximates  fair value because the  obligations
bear  interest at a floating  rate.  The carrying  amount of  long-term  debt to
certain stockholders  approximated fair value because the then current effective
interest  rates  reflected the market rate for unsecured debt with similar terms
and remaining maturities.

Excess Cash

The Company's domestic cash balances are generally utilized to pay its bank line
of credit.  International  cash balances are  maintained in liquid cash accounts
and are utilized to fund daily operations.

Major Customers

One customer accounted for 14%, 8%, and 6% of the Company's net revenues
for the years ended  December  31,  2004,  2003,  and 2002,  respectively.  This
customer  also  accounted  for  approximately  29%,  13%,  and  4%  of  accounts
receivable at December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002, respectively.

In addition, approximately 16%, 17%, and 24% of net revenues for the years ended
December 31, 2004,  2003, and 2002,  respectively,  resulted from  merchandising
services  performed for  manufacturers  and others in stores  operated by Kmart.
These customers also accounted for approximately  22% of accounts  receivable at
December 31, 2004. While the Company's  customers and the resultant  contractual

F-11

SPAR Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

relationships  are with  various  manufacturers  and not  Kmart,  a  significant
reduction of this  retailer's  stores or cessation of this  retailer's  business
would negatively impact the Company.

Another  customer,  a division of a major retailer,  accounted for 26%, 30%, and
26% of the Company's net revenues for the years ended  December 31, 2004,  2003,
and 2002, respectively.  This customer also accounted for approximately 4%, 30%,
and  43%  of  accounts   receivable  at  December  31,  2004,  2003,  and  2002,
respectively. On August 2, 2004, this customer was sold by its parent.

As discussed above,  the Company does a significant  amount of business with one
customer and  performs a  significant  amount of services in Kmart.  The loss of
this customer or the loss of Kmart  related  business and the failure to attract
new large customers,  could  significantly  decrease the Company's  revenues and
such decreased  revenues  could have a material  adverse effect on the Company's
business, results of operations and financial condition.

Foreign Currency Rate Fluctuations

The Company has foreign  currency  exposure  associated  with its  international
wholly owned  subsidiaries,  51% owned joint venture  subsidiaries and 50% owned
joint  ventures.  In 2004,  these  exposures are primarily  concentrated  in the
Canadian  dollar,  South  African rand and  Japanese  yen. At December 31, 2004,
international assets totaled $2.8 million and international  liabilities totaled
$3.8  million.  For 2004,  international  revenues  totaled $8.2 million and the
Company's share of the net losses was approximately $500,000.

Interest Rate Fluctuations

At December 31, 2004 the Company's outstanding debt totaled $5.0 million,  which
consisted   of  domestic   variable-rate   (6.0%)  debt  of  $4.1   million  and
international  variable rate (1.4%) debt of $0.9 million.  Based on 2004 average
outstanding borrowings under variable-rate debt, a one-percentage point increase
in interest rates would negatively impact annual pre-tax earnings and cash flows
by approximately $50,000.

Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax return consequences
of certain timing differences that will either be taxable or deductible when the
assets  and  liabilities  are  recovered  or  settled.  Deferred  taxes are also
recognized  for operating  losses that are  available to offset  future  taxable
income and tax credits that are available to offset future income taxes.  In the
event the future  consequences  of differences  between the financial  reporting
basis and the tax basis of the Company's assets and liabilities  result in a net
deferred tax asset,  an evaluation is required of the  probability of being able
to realize the future benefits indicated by such asset. A valuation allowance is
provided  when it is more  likely  than  not that  some  portion  or the  entire
deferred tax asset will not be realized.

Stock-Based Compensation

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, Accounting for Stock
Based  Compensation,  requires disclosure of the fair value method of accounting
for stock  options and other equity  instruments.  Under the fair value  method,
compensation  cost is  measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the
award and is recognized  over the service  period,  which is usually the vesting
period.  The  Company  has  chosen,  under the  provisions  of SFAS No.  123, to
continue to account  for  employee  stock-based  

F-12

transactions under Accounting  Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting
for Stock Issued to Employees.

Under the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation,  as amended by SFAS 148, no compensation  cost has been recognized
for the stock  option  grants to Company  employees.  Compensation  cost for the
Company's  option grants to Company  employees has been determined  based on the
fair value at the grant date consistent with the provisions of SFAS No. 123, the
Company's  net  (loss)  income  and pro forma net  (loss)  income per share from
continuing  operations would have been reduced to the adjusted amounts indicated
below (in thousands, except per share data):

Basic and diluted net (loss) income per share, pro forma   $      (0.67)     $   (0.08)     $    0.18

The pro forma effect on net (loss) income is not representative of the pro forma
effect on net  (loss)  income in future  years  because  the  options  vest over
several years and additional awards may be made in the future.

The fair  value of each  option  grant is  estimated  based on the date of grant
using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average
assumptions:  dividend yield of 0% for all years;  volatility factor of expected
market price of common stock of 150%,  154%, and 172% for 2004,  2003, and 2002,
respectively;  risk-free interest rate of 4.23%,  4.27%, and 4.03%; and expected
lives of six years.

Net (Loss) Income Per Share

Basic net (loss)  income per share  amounts are based upon the weighted  average
number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net (loss) income per share amounts
are based upon the weighted average number of common and potential common shares
outstanding  except  for  periods  in which  such  potential  common  shares are
anti-dilutive. Potential common shares outstanding include stock options and are
calculated using the treasury stock method.

Use of Estimates

The  preparation of the  consolidated  financial  statements in conformity  with
accounting   principles   generally  accepted  in  the  United  States  requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and  liabilities  and disclosure of contingent  assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial  statements  and the reported  amounts of revenues and
expenses  during the reporting  period.  Actual  results could differ from those
estimates.

Goodwill

The  Company  adopted  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  No. 142,
Goodwill and Other Intangible  Assets, in the first quarter of 2002.  Therefore,
goodwill is no longer  amortized  but is subject to annual  impairment  tests in
accordance  with that  Statement.  At June 30, 2004,  the Company  performed the
required  impairment test discussed in FAS 142. The Company  calculated the fair
value of each  business  unit for which  goodwill  was  recorded to determine if
there was an impairment. The fair value of each unit was based upon the estimate
of the  discounted  cash flow  generated by the  respective  business unit. As a
result of these  calculations,  it was determined that there were impairments to
the goodwill associated with the PIA Acquisition on July 8, 1999 and acquisition
of the  Company's  Canadian  subsidiary  in June 2003.  Therefore,  the  Company
recorded  an  impairment  charge of  approximately  $8.4  million  (see Note 3 -
Impairment Charges).

Changes to goodwill for the years ended  December 31, 2004,  2003, and 2002 were
as follows:

2004               2003                2002

Translation of Foreign Currencies

The financial  statements of the foreign entities  consolidated into SPAR Group,
Inc. consolidated financial statements were translated into United States dollar
equivalents at exchange rates as follows:  balance sheet accounts for assets and
liabilities  at year-end rates and equity and the income  statement  accounts at
average exchange rates for the year. The resulting  translation gains and losses
are reflected in accumulated other comprehensive gain or losses in the statement
of  stockholders'  equity.  Foreign  currency  transaction  gains and losses are
reflected in net earnings.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 123 (revised 2004),  Share-Based Payment,
(SFAS 123R).  SFAS 123R  addresses the accounting  for  share-based  payments to
employees,  including grants of employee stock options.  Under the new standard,
companies  will no  longer  be  able to  account  for  share-based  compensation
transactions  using the intrinsic  method in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25,
Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.  Instead, the Company will be required
to account for such  transactions  using a fair-value  method and  recognize the
expense in the consolidated statement of income. SFAS 123R will be effective for
periods  beginning  after June 15, 2005 and allows,  but does not  require,  the
Company  to  restate  the full  fiscal  year of 2005 to  reflect  the  impact of
expensing  share-based  payments  under  SFAS  123R.  The  Company  has  not yet
determined  which fair-value  method and transitional  provision it will follow.
See Note 2 - Stock-Based Compensation for the pro forma impact on net income and
net income per share from calculating  stock-based  compensation costs under the
fair value alternative of SFAS

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

123.  However,  the  calculation of compensation  cost for  share-based  payment
transactions  after the  effective  date of SFAS 123R may be different  from the
calculation of compensation  cost under SFAS 123, but such  differences have not
yet been quantified.

Reclassifications

Certain   reclassifications  have  been  made  to  the  prior  years'  financial
statements to conform to the 2004 presentation.

3. Impairment Charges

Goodwill

During  2004,  in  accordance  with the  requirements  of SFAS 142,  the Company
determined that there were impairments of the goodwill  amounts  associated with
certain of its reporting entities.

In April  2004,  the  Company's  largest  customer  announced  that they  signed
definitive  agreements for the sale of its business to two purchasers.  The sale
was completed on August 2, 2004.  This customer  accounted for 26%, 30%, and 26%
of the  Company's  net revenues for the twelve  months ended  December 31, 2004,
2003,  and 2002,  respectively  and was the last remaining  profitable  business
related to the PIA  Acquisition  on July 8, 1999. At June 30, 2004,  the Company
had $7.6 million of goodwill  remaining that was related to the PIA Acquisition.
As a result of the loss of this  major  client,  the  Company  does not expect a
positive cash flow from this business unit. Therefore,  the Company has recorded
an impairment of the PIA related goodwill resulting in a non-cash charge of $7.6
million to the results of the operations for 2004.

In June 2003, the Company began its Canadian  operations through the acquisition
of substantially all of the business and assets of Impulse  Marketing  Services,
Inc. In  connection  with this  acquisition,  the Company  recorded  goodwill of
$712,000.  At the time of the  acquisition,  it was  expected  that the Canadian
subsidiary would be profitable. However, the Canadian subsidiary has operated at
a loss  since its  acquisition.  As a result  of the  continued  losses  and the
failure to attract new customers the Company does not expect to receive positive
cash flow from this unit.  Therefore,  the Company has recorded an impairment of
the related goodwill resulting in a non-cash charge of $712,000 for 2004.

Capitalized Internal Use Software Development Costs

Historically,  the Company has capitalized costs of computer software  developed
for internal use. Some of the costs  capitalized  were  associated  with certain
clients to whom the  Company no longer  provides  merchandising  services.  As a
result of the loss of these clients,  the Company recorded an impairment  charge
for the net book value of internally  developed  software costs of approximately
$442,000 for 2004.

Other Assets and Liabilities

Also,  in  connection  with the PIA  Acquisition,  certain tax  deferred  assets
related to the PIA net operating  loss carry forward  benefits were  recognized.
The  Company  also  recorded  as an  impairment  charge,  a  $750,000  valuation
allowance on these deferred tax assets.

3. Impairment Charges (continued)

The Company had approximately $2.1 million accrued for restructure costs and PIA
Acquisition  related  costs.  As a result of the PIA  business  impairment,  the
Company  evaluated  these  accruals  and  determined  that only $0.4  million is
required.  The Company applied the $1.7 million ($1.4 million net of tax effect)
reduction in PIA related  acquisition  liabilities  against the related goodwill
thereby reducing the impairment charges recognized for 2004.

In addition to the above, the Company has recorded an impairment of other assets
totaling $68,000 for 2004.

The  above  net  impairment  of  $8.1  million  is  shown  in  the  accompanying
consolidated statement of operations in 2004 as "Impairment charges".

5. Lines of Credit

In January 2003, the Company and Webster Business Credit Corporation, then known
as Whitehall  Business Credit  Corporation  ("Webster"),  entered into the Third
Amended and  Restated  Revolving  Credit and  Security  Agreement  (as  amended,
collectively,  the  "Credit  Facility").  The Credit  Facility  provided a $15.0
million  revolving  credit facility that matures on January 23, 2006. The Credit
Facility  allowed  the  Company  to  borrow  up to $15.0  million  based  upon a
borrowing  base  formula  as  defined  in  the  agreement  (principally  85%  of
"eligible"  accounts  receivable).  On May 17,  2004,  the Credit  Facility  was
amended to among other things,  reduce the revolving  credit facility from $15.0
million to $10.0 million, change the interest rate and increase reserves against
collateral. The amendment provides for interest to be charged at a rate based in
part upon the earnings before interest,  taxes,  depreciation and  amortization.
The average  interest rate for 2004 was 5.1%.  At December 31, 2004,  the Credit
Facility bears interest at Webster's "Alternative Base Rate" plus 0.75% (a total
of 6.0% per annum),  or LIBOR plus 3.25%.  The Credit Facility is secured by all
of the assets of the Company and its domestic  subsidiaries.  In connection with
the May 17,  2004,  amendment,  Mr.  Robert  Brown,  a Director,  the  Chairman,
President and Chief Executive Officer and a major stockholder of the Company and
Mr. William Bartels,  a Director,  the Vice Chairman and a major  stockholder of
the Company,  provided personal  guarantees totaling $1.0 million to Webster. On
August 20, 2004, the Credit  Facility was further amended in connection with the
waiver of certain covenant  violations (see below).  The amendment,  among other
things,  reduced  the  revolving  credit  facility  from  $10.0  million to $7.0
million,  changed the covenant  compliance  testing for certain  covenants  from
quarterly to monthly and reduced  certain  advance rates.  On November 15, 2004,
the Credit Facility was further amended to delete any required minimum Net Worth
and minimum Fixed Charge  Coverage Ratio  covenant  levels for the period ending
December 31, 2004. The amendments did not change the future covenant levels. The
Credit Facility also limits certain expenditures including,  but not limited to,
capital expenditures and other investments.

The Company was in violation of certain monthly  covenants at December 31, 2004,
and expects to be in violation at future  measurement  dates.  Webster  issued a
waiver for the December 31, 2004 covenant violations.  However,  there can be no
assurances that Webster will issue such waivers in the future.

Because of the  requirement  to maintain a lock box  arrangement  with  Webster,
Webster's ability to invoke a subjective  acceleration clause at its discretion,
and the  expected  future  covenant  violations,  borrowings  under  the  Credit
Facility are  classified as current at December 31, 2004 and 2003, in accordance
with EITF 95-22.  Balance Sheet  Classification of Borrowings  Outstanding Under
Revolving Credit Agreements That Include Both a Subjective  Acceleration  Clause
and a Lock-Box Agreement.

The revolving  loan  balances  outstanding  under the Credit  Facility were $4.1
million at December  31, 2004,  and  December  31,  2003.  There were letters of
credit  outstanding  under the Credit  Facility of $0.7  million at December 31,
2004,  and December 31, 2003. As of December 31, 2004, the SPAR Group had unused
availability  under the Credit  Facility of $1.4  million  out of the  remaining
maximum  $2.2  million  unused  revolving  line of  credit  after  reducing  the
borrowing base by outstanding loans and letters of credit.

In 2001, the Japanese joint venture SPAR FM Japan, Inc. entered into a revolving
line of credit  arrangement  with  Japanese  banks for 300  million  yen or $2.7
million  (based upon the exchange rate at September 30, 2004).  At September 30.
2004,  SPAR FM Japan,  Inc. had 100 million yen or  approximately  $900,000 loan
balance  outstanding under the line of credit. The line of credit is effectively
guarantied by the Company and the joint venture partner, Paltac Corporation. The
average  interest rates on the borrowings  under the Japanese line of credit for
its short-term  bank loans at September 30, 2004 and 2003 were 1.375% and 1.375%
per annum, respectively.

====================================

At December 31, 2004, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards (NOLs) of
$10.2 million, related to the PIA Acquisition available to reduce future federal
taxable income.  The $10.2 million PIA related net operating loss  carryforwards
begin to expire in the year  2012.  Section  382 of the  Internal  Revenue  Code
restricts  the  annual  utilization  of the NOLs  incurred  prior to a change in
ownership.  Such a change in ownership had occurred in 1999, thereby restricting
the NOL's prior to such date available to the Company to approximately  $657,500
per year.  In  addition,  the  Company has NOLs  related to its  current  losses
totaling $4.1 million. The $4.1 million net operating loss carryfowards begin to
expire in the year 2023.

As a result of the loss of several significant clients,  current year losses and
the lack of certainty of a return to profitably in the next twelve  months,  the
Company  has  established  a valuation  allowance  equal to the total of its net
deferred tax assets of $6.1 million.

The Company does not provide for U.S. income taxes on the undistributed earnings
of its foreign  subsidiaries  since, at the present time,  management  considers
them to be permanently invested in the subsidiary.

7. Commitments and Contingencies

Lease Commitments

The Company leases  equipment and certain office space in several cities,  under
non-cancelable operating lease agreements. Certain leases require the Company to
pay its share of any increases in operating expenses and real estate taxes. Rent
expense was approximately $1.0 million, $0.9 million, and $1.0 million for 2004,
2003, and 2002,  respectively.  At December 31, 2004, future minimum commitments
under  all  non-cancelable  operating  lease  arrangements  are as  follows  (in
thousands):

2005          $      776
2006                 569

2008                  40
2009                   1
------------------
Total          $    1,468
===================

International Commitments

The  Company's  international  model  is to  partner  with  local  merchandising
companies  and combine  their  knowledge of the local market with the  Company's
proprietary software and expertise in the merchandising  business.  In 2001, the
Company established its first joint venture and has continued this strategy.  As
of this filing,  the Company is currently  operating in Japan,  Canada,  Turkey,
South Africa and India.  The Company also announced the  establishment  of joint
ventures in Romania and China.

Certain of these joint  ventures and joint venture  subsidiaries  are marginally
profitable  while others are  operating at a loss.  None of these  entities have
excess  cash  reserves.  In the event of  continued  losses,  the Company may be
required to provide  additional  cash  infusions  into these joint  ventures and
joint venture subsidiaries.

Legal Matters

Safeway   Inc.   ("Safeway"),   filed  a   Complaint   against  the  PIA
Merchandising  Co., Inc. ("PIA Co."), a wholly owned  subsidiary of the Company,
and Pivotal Sales Company ("Pivotal"), a wholly owned subsidiary of PIA Co., and
SGRP in Alameda Superior Court, case no. 2001028498 on October 24, 2001, and has
subsequently  amended  it.  Safeway  alleges  causes  of  action  for  breach of
contract,  breach of implied  contract,  breach of fiduciary  duty,  conversion,
constructive fraud,  breach of trust,  unjust enrichment,  and accounting fraud.
Safeway has most  recently  alleged  monetary  damages in the  principal  sum of
$3,000,000 and probable interest of $1,000,000 and has also demanded unspecified
costs. PIA Co., Pivotal and SGRP filed cross-claims  against Safeway on or about
March 11, 2002, and amended them on or about October 15, 2002,  alleging  causes
of action by them  against  Safeway for breach of  contract,  interference  with
economic relationship,  unfair trade practices and unjust enrichment and seeking
damages and injunctive  relief.  Mediation between the parties occurred in 2004,
but did not result in a  settlement.  PIA Co., Pivotal  and SGRP are  vigorously
defending  Safeway's  allegations.  It is not possible at this time to determine
the  likelihood of the outcome of this  lawsuit.  However,  if Safeway  prevails
respecting  its  allegations,  and PIA  Co.,  Pivotal  and  SGRP  lose on  their
cross-claims and counterclaims, that result could have a material adverse effect
on the  Company.  The Company  anticipates  that this matter will be resolved in
2005.

In addition to the above,  the Company is a party to various other legal actions
and administrative  proceedings arising in the normal course of business. In the
opinion of  Company's  management,  disposition

of these other matters are not anticipated to have a material  adverse effect on
the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

8. Treasury Stock

The Company  initiated a share  repurchase  program in 2002,  which  allowed for
repurchase of up to 100,000 shares.  In 2003, the Board of Directors  authorized
the repurchase of an additional  122,000 shares  increasing the total to 222,000
shares.

9. Employee Benefits

Stock Purchase Plans

The Company has Employee and  Consultant  Stock Purchase Plans (the "SP Plans").
The SP Plans allow  employees and  consultants of the Company to purchase common
stock without having to pay any commissions on the purchases. On August 8, 2002,
the Company's Board of Directors  approved a 15% discount for employee purchases
and recommended  that its affiliates (see Note 10 - Related-Party  Transactions)
approve a 15% cash bonus for affiliate consultant purchases.  The maximum amount
that any employee or  consultant  can  contribute to the SP Plans per quarter is
$6,250,  and the total  number of shares  reserved by the  Company for  purchase
under the SP Plans is 500,000.

Shares  purchased by employees and  consultants  under the SP Plans were 43,023,
22,561, and 10,104 for 2004, 2003, and 2002, respectively.

The Company's expense as a result of the 15% discount  offered to employees  and
consultants were approximately $10,000,  $11,000, and $4,000 for 2004, 2003, and
2002, respectively.

Retirement/Pension Plans

The Company has a 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan covering substantially all eligible
employees.  Employer  contributions were  approximately  $97,000,  $87,000,  and
$117,000 for 2004, 2003, and 2002, respectively.

In  2003  and  2002,  certain  of  the  Company's   employees  were  covered  by
union-sponsored,  collectively bargained,  multi-employer pension plans. Pension
expense  related to these  plans was  approximately  $32,000 and $60,000 for the
years ended  December 31, 2003 and 2002,  respectively.  There were no employees

10. Related-Party Transactions

Mr. Robert G. Brown,  a Director,  the Chairman,  President and Chief  Executive
Officer and a major  stockholder of the Company,  and Mr. William H. Bartels,  a
Director,  the  Vice  Chairman  and a  major  stockholder  of the  Company,  are
executive  officers and the sole  stockholders  and directors of SPAR  Marketing
Services,  Inc.  ("SMS"),  SPAR Management  Services,  Inc.  ("SMSI"),  and SPAR
Infotech, Inc. ("SIT").

SMS and SMSI provided  approximately 99% of the Company's field  representatives
(through its independent  contractor field force) and  approximately  92% of the
Company's field management at a total cost of approximately $24.0 million, $36.0
million, and $30.5 million for 2004, 2003, and 2002,  respectively.  Pursuant to
the terms of the  Amended  and  Restated  Field  Service  Agreement  dated as of
January 1, 2004, SMS provides the services of SMS's field force of approximately
6,300  independent  contractors  to the  Company.  Pursuant  to the terms of the
Amended and Restated  Field  Management  Agreement  dated as of January 1, 2004,
SMSI  provides  approximately  50  full-time  national,  regional  and  district
managers to the Company. For those services, the Company has agreed to reimburse
SMS and SMSI for all of their costs of providing  those  services and to pay SMS
and SMSI each a premium equal to 4% of their respective  costs,  except that for
2004 SMSI agreed to concessions  that reduced the premium paid by  approximately
$640,000  for  2004.  Total net  premiums  (4% of SMS and SMSI  costs  less 2004
concessions)  paid to SMS and  SMSI for  services  rendered  were  approximately
$320,000, $1,350,000, and $1,100,000 for 2004, 2003, and 2002, respectively. The
Company  has been  advised  that  Messrs.  Brown  and  Bartels  are not paid any
salaries as officers of SMS or SMSI so there were no salary  reimbursements  for
them  included  in such  costs  or  premium.  However,  since  SMS and  SMSI are
"Subchapter S" corporations,  Messrs.  Brown and Bartels benefit from any income
of such companies allocated to them.

SIT provided  substantially all of the Internet computer programming services to
the  Company  at a  total  cost of  approximately  $1,170,000,  $1,610,000,  and
$1,630,000 for 2004, 2003, and 2002,  respectively.  SIT provided  approximately
34,000,  47,000, and 46,000 hours of Internet computer  programming  services to
the Company for 2004, 2003, and 2002, respectively.  Pursuant to the Amended and
Restated  Programming  and Support  Agreement  dated as of January 1, 2004,  SIT
continues to provide  programming  services to the Company for which the Company
has agreed to pay SIT  competitive  hourly  wage rates for time spent on Company
matters  and to  reimburse  the  related  out-of-pocket  expenses of SIT and its
personnel.  The average hourly billing rate was $34.71,  $34.24,  and $35.10 for
2004, 2003, and 2002, respectively.  The Company has been advised that no hourly
charges or business  expenses for Messrs.  Brown and Bartels were charged to the
Company by SIT for 2004.  However,  since SIT is a "Subchapter  S"  corporation,
Messrs.  Brown and Bartels benefit from any income of such company  allocated to
them.

11. Stock Options

The Company has four stock option  plans:  the Amended and  Restated  1995 Stock
Option Plan ("1995 Plan"),  the 1995 Director's Plan  ("Director's  Plan"),  the
Special Purpose Stock Option Plan ("Special  Purpose Plan"),  and the 2000 Stock
Option Plan ("2000 Plan").

The 1995 Plan  provided  for the granting of either  incentive  or  nonqualified
stock options to specific employees,  consultants,  and directors of the Company
for the purchase of up to 3,500,000  shares of the Company's  common stock.  The
options had a term of ten years from the date of issuance, except in the case of
incentive stock options granted to greater than 10%  stockholders  for which the
term was five years. The exercise price of nonqualified  stock options must have
been  equal to at least 85% of the fair  market  value of the  Company's  common
stock at the date of grant.  Since  2000,  the  Company  has not granted any new
options under this plan.  During 2004,  1,500 options to purchase  shares of the
Company's  common stock were exercised and options to purchase  26,625 shares of
the  Company's  stock were  cancelled  under this plan.  At December  31,  2004,
options  to  purchase  15,125  shares  of  the  Company's  common  stock  remain
outstanding  under this plan. The 1995 Plan was superseded by the 2000 Plan with
respect to all new options issued.

11. Stock Options (continued)

The  Director's  Plan was a stock  option plan for  non-employee  directors  and
provided for the purchase of up to 120,000 shares of the Company's common stock.
Since 2000, the Company has not granted any new options under this plan.  During
2004, no options to purchase shares of the Company's common stock were exercised
under this plan. At December 31, 2004,  20,000 options to purchase shares of the
Company's common stock remained outstanding under this plan. The Director's Plan
has been replaced by the 2000 Plan with respect to all new options issued.

On July 8, 1999,  in connection  with the merger,  the Company  established  the
Special  Purpose  Plan of PIA  Merchandising  Services,  Inc. to provide for the
issuance of substitute options to the holders of outstanding  options granted by
SPAR  Acquisition,  Inc. There were 134,114  options granted at $0.01 per share.
Since July 8, 1999, the Company has not granted any new options under this plan.
During 2004,  21,000  options to purchase  shares of the Company's  common stock
were exercised under this plan. At December 31, 2004,  options to purchase 4,750
shares of the Company's common stock remain outstanding under this plan.

On December 4, 2000, the Company  adopted the 2000 Plan, as the successor to the
1995 Plan and the Director's  Plan with respect to all new options  issued.  The
2000 Plan provides for the granting of either  incentive or  nonqualified  stock
options to specified  employees,  consultants,  and directors of the Company for
the purchase of up to 3,600,000 (less those options still  outstanding under the
1995 Plan or exercised after December 4, 2000 under the 1995 Plan).  The options
have a term of ten years,  except in the case of incentive stock options granted
to greater than 10%  stockholders  for whom the term is five years. The exercise
price of  nonqualified  stock  options must be equal to at least 85% of the fair
market  value of the  Company's  common  stock  at the  date of grant  (although
typically  the  options are issued at 100% of the fair  market  value),  and the
exercise  price of  incentive  stock  options must be equal to at least the fair
market value of the  Company's  common stock at the date of grant.  During 2004,
options to purchase  476,417 shares of the Company's  common stock were granted,
options to purchase  53,302 shares of the Company's  common stock were exercised
and options to purchase 1,345,542 shares of the Company's stock were voluntarily
surrendered  and  cancelled  under this plan.  At December 31, 2004,  options to
purchase 1,251,383 shares of the Company's common stock remain outstanding under
this plan and options to purchase 1,618,719 shares of the Company's common stock
were available for grant under this plan.

In 2004,  the Company  recorded an expense of  approximately  $103,000 under the
provision of SFAS No. 123 dealing with stock option grants to non-employees  for
stock  option  grants  that  were  awarded  to the  employees  of the  Company's
affiliates.  The Company  determines  the fair value of the  options  granted to
non-employees  using the  Black-Scholes  valuation model and expenses that value
over the service period. Until an option is vested, the fair value of the option
continues to be updated through the vesting date. The options granted have a ten
(10)  year  life and vest  over  four-year  periods  at a rate of 25% per  year,
beginning on the first anniversary of the date of grant.

14. Restructuring Charges

In  1999,  in  connection  with  the PIA  Acquisition,  the  Company's  Board of
Directors  approved a plan to  restructure  the operations of the PIA Companies.
Restructuring  costs were composed of committed  costs required to integrate the
SPAR Companies' and the PIA Companies' field organizations and the consolidation
of administrative  functions to achieve beneficial  synergies and costs savings.
At  June  30,  2004,  the  Company  evaluated  its  restructuring  reserves  and
determined  that certain  restructuring  reserves were no longer  necessary (see
Note 3 - Impairment Charges).

In July 2004, as a result of the loss of several  significant  customers and the
pending sale of the Company's largest customer,  the Company entered into a plan
to restructure and reduce its field force, as well as, its selling,  general and
administrative   cost  structure  to  reflect  its  lower  revenue  base.  These
reductions  consist of  personnel  reductions,  personnel  related  expenses and
office  closings.  As a result of the July  restructuring,  the Company expensed
approximately  $480,000 in the quarter ending September 30, 2004,  approximately
$230,000 for  severance  benefits and  approximately  $250,000 for office leases
that  the  Company  ceased  using.   At  December  31,  2004,  the  Company  had
approximately  $250,000  reserved  for  future  restructure  payments  that  are
expected to be paid in 2005.  The Company  records  restructure  expenses in the
selling,  general  and  administrative  section  of its  consolidated  operating
statements.

2004

The lost business and subsequent impairment charges were the primary factors for
the losses incurred in the first two quarters of 2004.  However,  primarily as a
result of the restructure  plan initiated in the third quarter,  the Company was
profitable in the second half of 2004.

2003

In the fourth quarter 2003, the Company  experienced  certain charges to revenue
and cost of sales  that did not  occur in  2004.  These  charges  accounted  for
approximately  50%  of the  loss  in  2003  fourth  quarter.  The  Company  also
experienced  lower  revenues from per unit fee  contracts in the fourth  quarter
resulting from decreased  retail sales of some of the Company's  larger clients'
products, as well as the loss of a particular client earlier in the year.

and  acknowledges to and covenants and agrees with the Lender that: (i) pursuant
to its Revolving Credit,  Guaranty and Security  Agreement with the Lender dated
as of June 30, 2002, and the Revolving  Promissory Note issued pursuant  thereto
(as the same may have been and hereafter may be supplemented, modified, amended,
restated  or  replaced  from time to time in the manner  provided  therein,  the
"Revolving  Documents"),  the Lender has made loans on a revolving  basis to the
Borrowers that were outstanding as of the date hereof in the aggregate principal
amount of  $694,271.00  (the  "Existing  Revolving  Loans"),  and the Lender has
caused to be issued a Letter of Credit in the face amount of $70,000.00  for the
benefit of the Borrower (the  "Existing  Letter of Credit");  (ii) the Revolving
Documents and the Existing Revolving Loans, as well as the Borrower's obligation
to immediately and fully reimburse the Lender for any drawing under the Existing
Letter of Credit (the "Existing Reimbursement Obligations"), were not subject as
of the  date of  this  Note  to any  defense,  counterclaim,  setoff,  right  of
recoupment,  abatement,  reduction  or  other  claim  or  determination  of  the
Borrower;  (iii) the  Borrower  has  issued  this Note in order to fully pay and
satisfy  the  Existing  Revolving  Loans and to amend,  restate  and replace the
Existing  Reimbursement  Obligations  as  provided  in  subsection  (b) of  this
Section;  (iv) the  Lender  shall be deemed to have  advanced  to itself (at the
request and for the benefit of the  Borrower) on the date hereof the full amount
of the  Existing  Revolving  Loans  in  order  to  fully  pay  and  satisfy  the
outstanding principal balance thereof; (v) as a result, the principal balance of
the Loans and the  Letter of Credit  outstanding  on the date  hereof  under and
evidenced by this Note is and shall be equal to  $764,271.00  (and is subject to
increase  as  provided  in  subsection  (b),  below);  (v) the  Loans  and other
Obligations  of the  Borrower are not subject as of the date of this Note to any

other claim or determination,  (vi) the Note and Guaranty shall continue in full

available to the Borrower under this Note.

(b) The Borrower  shall  reimburse the Lender on demand for any and all
advances made by the issuer  thereof under the Existing  Letter of Credit,  each
such advance  shall be deemed to be an advance of Loan  principal  hereunder and
part of the "Loans"  and  "Obligations"  evidenced  hereby.  Such  reimbursement
obligations shall be deemed to have continued,  amended, restated and completely
replaced the Existing Reimbursement Obligations, but shall not be deemed to have
been a payment or satisfaction thereof.

(c) This Note  evidences any and all amounts  outstanding  from time to
time  (including  future  advances)  in  respect  of any and all loans and other
advances made and amounts paid by the Lender in its discretion from time to time
to or on behalf or for the benefit of the  Borrower,  or  otherwise  now or from
time to time hereafter owed to the Lender by the Borrower,  under or pursuant to
this  Note  (each of which is a Loan  hereunder),  in each  case (i)  including,
without  limitation,  those so made, paid or outstanding  during the pendency of
any Bankruptcy Proceeding,  (ii) whether requested,  received, used or repayable
by the  Borrower  individually,  jointly,  severally  or  otherwise,  and  (iii)
together  with all  accrued  and unpaid  interest  thereon  (including,  without
limitation,  any and  all  interest  and  other  amounts  accrued,  accruing  or
otherwise arising or applicable under any Loan Instrument during the pendency of
any  Bankruptcy  Proceeding,  irrespective  of  

whether or to what extent such  interest,  fees and other amounts  accrue or are
allowed or allowable as claims in any such proceeding).

Section 3.  Voluntary and Mandatory  Payments.  (a) The Borrower  shall
repay the entire principal  balance then outstanding  under the Loans and all of
the other monetary  Obligations  then  outstanding in full on the first to occur
(the "Maturity  Date") of: (a) twenty  Business Days from the date of this Note;
or (b) the  acceleration  of the  Obligations as  contemplated by this Note, any
other Loan Instrument or applicable  law. The Borrower may voluntarily  elect to
prepay the Loans in full at any time, or in part from time to time, in each case
without any premium or penalty. Nothing contained in this Note or any other Loan
Instrument  shall  be  construed  as a  waiver  or  modification  of any term or
provision of this Note or any other Loan  Instrument  respecting  the payment of
any expense, indemnity or reimbursement on demand.

(b) Notwithstanding  anything in this Note to the contrary, the parties
agree:  (i) $70,000 of the amount of this Note  represents the $70,000 letter of
credit  (the  "LOC")  issued by Webster  Bank to Airline  Reporting  Corporation
(ARC),  (ii) unless it has been drawn  upon,  this amount is not due and payable
prior to or on the  Maturity  Date of this Note,  (iii) the LOC will be returned
(undrawn upon) to the Lender and Webster Bank for  cancellation by no later than
nineteen  business days from the date of this Note (the "LOC  Surrender  Date"),
(iv) if the LOC is so returned by the LOC Surrender  Date,  this $70,000  amount
will be considered  paid in full, (v) no interest or fee will will accrue and be
payable  for this LOC at any time prior to the first to occur of any  drawing on
the LOC and the LOC  Surrender  Date,  (vi) if any drawing  shall be made on the
LOC,  the amount of such  drawing  shall be deemed a funded Loan under this Note
and shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date, (vii) if the LOC has not been
returned  to the Lender and Webster  Bank by the LOC  Surrender  Date,  the full
undrawn  LOC amount  shall be deemed a funded  Loan under this Note and shall be
due and payable on the Maturity Date, and (viii) any such funded Loan shall bear
interest as provided herein from and after the date deemed funded.

Section 4. Interest; Default Interest. (a) Except as otherwise provided
in this Section,  the Loans shall bear interest on the unpaid principal  balance
of those Loans outstanding from time to time, from and including the date hereof
through and including the date such principal balance of such Loans is repaid in
full  (including,  without  limitation,  any and all  interest,  fees and  other
amounts accrued, accruing or otherwise arising or applicable during the pendency
of any Bankruptcy  Proceeding,  irrespective of whether such interest,  fees and
other amounts are allowed or allowable as claims in any such proceeding), at the
rate of 8.935% per annum.  Interest  on the Loans shall be computed on the basis
of the actual number of days elapsed and a year of 360 days and shall be payable
by the Borrower in arrears: (i) in full on the Maturity Date; and (ii) on demand
after the Maturity Date.

(b) Any payment of principal, interest or other amount that is not paid
when due  under  this Note or any other  Loan  Instrument,  and all of the Loans
after notice from the Lender during the  continuance  of any Default or Event of
Default  under  this Note or any other  Loan  Instrument,  shall,  to the extent
permitted by applicable law, bear interest  (computed on the basis of the actual
number of days elapsed and a year of 360 days) until repaid in full at an annual
rate  equal to 18% per  annum,  which  interest  rate  shall be  payable  by the
Borrower with respect to such amount(s) instead of the rate (if any) established
by this Section with respect  thereto,  and which  interest  amount(s)  shall be
payable upon  demand;  in each case (1)  subject,  however,  to the maximum rate
permitted by Applicable Law as provided in Section 6 hereof,  and (2) including,
without  limitation,  any and all  interest,  fees and  other  amounts  accrued,
accruing  or  otherwise  arising  or  applicable  during  the  pendency  of  any
Bankruptcy  Proceeding,  irrespective  of whether such interest,  fees and other
amounts are allowed or allowable as claims in any such proceeding.

Section 5. Maximum  Interest  Rate. It is the intention of the Borrower
and the Lender that the interest (as defined under  applicable  law) that may be
charged to,  collected  from or received from the Borrower under this Note shall
not exceed the maximum  rate  permissible  under  applicable  law.  Accordingly,
anything in this Note to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event any interest
(as so defined)  is charged to,  collected  from or received  from the  Borrower
under this Note in excess of such maximum  lawful rate,  then the excess of such
payment  over  that  maximum  rate  shall be  applied  to the  reduction  of the
outstanding  principal  balance  of the  Loans  under  this  Note and the  other
outstanding  Obligations  (without any prepayment  premium or penalty),  and any
portion of such excess payment  remaining after payment and  satisfaction of the
Obligations in full shall be returned by the Lender to the Borrower.

Section 6. Waiver of Presentment,  Etc. Presentment for payment, notice
of  dishonor,  protest  and  notice  of  protest  are  hereby  each  absolutely,
unconditionally, irrevocably and expressly waived forever by the Borrower.

Section 7.  Payments  and  Applications.  All  payments  of  principal,
interest,  fees and other  amounts  due the Lender  pursuant to this Note or any
other Loan  Instrument  shall be made in U.S.  Dollars in immediately  available
funds by 2:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date payment is due to the Lender
at its  offices  at SPAR  Incentive  Marketing,  Inc.,  580 White  Plains  Road,
Tarrytown,  New York 10591, or as otherwise instructed by the Lender. Should any
payment  become  due and  payable on other than a  Business  Day,  the  maturity
thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding  Business Day, and, in the case
of any payment of principal,  interest shall be payable  thereon at the rate per
annum  specified  in this  Note  during  such  extension.  The  Borrower  hereby
authorizes  the Lender at any time and from time to time (in the  discretion  of
the Lender) to deduct from any account of the  Borrower  with the Lender,  or to
direct any affiliate, custodian or designee of the Lender holding any account of
the  Borrower at the  direction  or for the benefit of the Lender to deduct from
such  account,  all or any part of any amount  (whether  principal,  interest or
otherwise)  that has  become due and  payable  under this Note or any other Loan
Instrument,  all without any notice to or further consent from the Borrower.  In
debiting any such account,  the Obligations shall be deemed to have been paid or
repaid only to the extent of the funds  actually  available  in and debited from
such account  notwithstanding  any internal  procedure of the debiting person to
the  contrary.  Except as  otherwise  provided  in this  Note or any other  Loan
Instrument,  any funds  received by the Lender from or on behalf of the Borrower
(including the net proceeds from any collateral) may be applied by the Lender to
the following  items in such order and manner as may be determined by the Lender
in its sole and absolute  discretion to the extent  permitted by applicable law:
(i) the payment of accrued and unpaid  interest on the Loans and any breakage or
other amounts (if any) required by this Note; (ii) the payment of due and unpaid
principal on the Loans;  (iii) the payment to or reimbursement of the Lender for
any fees and expenses for which it is entitled to be paid or reimbursed pursuant
to any of the  provisions  of this Note or any other Loan  Instrument;  (iv) the
establishment or maintenance of any cash collateral  required or permitted under
this Note or any other Loan Instrument; and (v) the payment in full of all other

Section  12.  Reinstatement.  In  the  event  any  payment  of  or  any
application of any amount,  asset or property to any of the Obligations,  or any
part thereof, at any time is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned
by the Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower,
any Surety or any other person, whether by order of any court, by any settlement
approved by any court, or otherwise,  then the terms and provisions of this Note
shall  continue to apply,  or shall be reinstated if not then in effect,  as the
case may be, with respect to the Obligations so rescinded, restored or returned,
all as though such payment or application had never been made.

Section 13.  Waivers of Notice,  Etc. The Borrower  hereby  absolutely,
unconditionally,  irrevocably  and expressly  waives forever each and all of the
following: (a) acceptance and notice of any acceptance of this Note or any other
Loan  Instrument;  (b) notice of any action taken or omitted in reliance hereon;
(c) presentment and notice of any presentment; (d) demand for payment and notice
of any such demand;  (e) dishonor  and notice of any  dishonor;  (f) protest and
notice  of any  protest;  (g)  notice  of any  nonpayment  or other  event  that

constitute, any nonpayment, nonperformance, misrepresentation or other breach or
default under this Note or any other Loan Instrument; (h) notice of any material
and adverse  effect,  whether  individually  or in the  aggregate,  upon (i) the
assets,  business,  cash  flow,  expenses,  income,   liabilities,   operations,
properties,  prospects,  reputation or condition (financial or otherwise) of the
Borrower, any Surety or any other person, (ii) the ability of any of them to pay
or otherwise satisfy (as and when due) any of their respective obligations under
any of the Loan Instruments, or (iii) any collateral securing the obligations of
any  of  them  under  the  Loan  Instruments  or  its  value  or  the  validity,
enforceability,  perfection  or priority of any security  interest of the Lender
therein;  and (i) any other proof,  notice or demand of any kind whatsoever with
respect to any or all of the  Obligations or Surety's  Obligations or promptness
in making any claim or demand under this Note or any other Loan  Instrument.  No
act or omission of any kind in connection with any of the foregoing shall in any
way  impair or  otherwise  affect  the  legality,  validity,  binding  effect or
enforceability  of any  term  or  provision  of  this  Note  or any  other  Loan
Instrument or any of the Obligations or Surety's Obligations.

Section 14. Consent to Jurisdiction,  Etc. The Borrower hereby consents
and agrees that the Supreme Court of the State of New York for the County of New
York and the United States District Court for the Southern  District of New York
each shall have  personal  jurisdiction  and  proper  venue with  respect to any
dispute between the Lender and the Borrower under or related to this Note or any
other Loan Instrument; provided that the foregoing consent shall not deprive the
Lender of the right in its sole and absolute discretion to voluntarily  commence
or  participate  in any action,  suit or  proceeding  in any other court  having
jurisdiction and venue over the Borrower. The preceding consents to jurisdiction
and venue have been made by the  Borrower and accepted by the Lender in reliance
(at least in part) on Section 5-1402 of the General Obligations Law of the State
of New York, as amended (as and to the extent applicable),  and other applicable
law.  The  Borrower  will not  raise,  and hereby  absolutely,  unconditionally,
irrevocably and expressly  waives forever,  any objection or defense in any such
dispute to any such  jurisdiction as an inconvenient  forum. The Borrower hereby
absolutely,  unconditionally,  irrevocably and expressly waives forever personal
service  of any  summons,  complaint  or other  notice  or  process  in any such
dispute,  which  each may be sent by mail,  courier  or any of the  other  means
permitted  for  notices  under  this Note or any other  Loan  Instrument  to the
Borrower at the address specified herein.  The Borrower  acknowledges and agrees
that a final judgment in any such action, suit or proceeding shall be conclusive
and binding upon the Borrower and may be enforced against the Borrower or any of
its assets or properties in any other appropriate  jurisdiction  selected by the
Lender (in its sole and absolute discretion) by an action, suit or proceeding in
such other  jurisdiction.  To the extent  that the  Borrower  may be entitled to
immunity  (whether  by  reason of  sovereignty  or  otherwise)  from suit in any
jurisdiction,  from  the  jurisdiction  of any  court or 

from any other legal process,  the Borrower hereby absolutely,  unconditionally,
irrevocably and expressly waives forever such immunity.

Section 15.  Waiver of Set Off,  Etc. The Borrower  hereby  absolutely,
unconditionally,  irrevocably and expressly waives forever,  and agrees that the
Borrower  will  not  exercise  or  otherwise  enforce,  any  and all  rights  of
extension,  stay, moratorium,  setoff,  counterclaim,  recoupment,  abatement or
reduction or other claim or determination  respecting any payment due under this
Note or any other Loan  Instrument  that may now or hereafter be accorded to the
Borrower  under  applicable  law or  otherwise.  To the extent not required as a
compulsory  counterclaim,  the Borrower (a) shall pursue  separate  exercise and
enforcement of any right, power, privilege, remedy or interest retained (and not
waived)  by the  Borrower  under  this  Note,  the  other  Loan  Instruments  or
applicable law, and (b) shall not seek to exercise or otherwise enforce any such
right, power, privilege,  remedy or interest in any proceeding instituted by the
Lender  under or in respect of this Note or any other Loan  Instrument,  whether
through  joinder,  consolidation,   setoff,  recoupment,  abatement,  reduction,
counterclaim, defense or otherwise. In any dispute with the Lender, the Borrower
covenants and agrees that the Borrower will not seek, recover or retain any, and
the Borrower  hereby  absolutely,  unconditionally,  irrevocably  and  expressly
waives forever any and all, special,  exemplary,  punitive and/or  consequential
damages (whether through action, suit,  counterclaim or otherwise) to the extent
waiver is not limited under applicable law.

Section 16.  Relationship  of the  Borrower  and the Lender,  Etc.  The
Borrower represents,  warrants and acknowledges to and covenants and agrees with
the Lender  that:  (a) the  Lender is acting  solely in the  capacity  of lender
respecting this Note, the other Loan  Instruments  and the  Collateral;  (b) the
sole  relationship  of the  Borrower  with  the  Lender  is that of  debtor  and
creditor, respectively , and no term or provision of this Note or any other Loan
Instrument is intended to create, nor shall any such term or provision be deemed
or construed to have created, any joint venture,  partnership,  trust, agency or
other fiduciary or advisory relationship with the Borrower, any Surety or any of
their respective affiliates; (c) the Borrower has received and independently and
fully  reviewed  and  evaluated  the Note and the other  Loan  Instruments,  the
obligations  and  transactions  contemplated  hereunder and  thereunder  and the
potential effects of such obligations and transactions on the assets,  business,
cash flow, expenses, income,  liabilities,  operations,  properties,  prospects,
reputation,  taxation and  condition  (financial  or  otherwise)  of each of the
Borrower, the Sureties and their respective affiliates, if any (each a "Business
Attribute"),  which  review  and  evaluation  was made (i)  together  with legal
counsel and (to the extent deemed  prudent by the Borrower)  financial and other
advisors to the Borrower, (d) the Borrower has not received, the Borrower is not
relying upon, and none of the Sureties has received or is relying upon, any oral
or written advice,  analysis,  representation or warranty,  counsel,  promise or
assurance of any kind whatsoever  from the Lender,  any of its affiliates or any
of their respective officers,  attorneys or other representatives  (whether with
respect to any Business Attribute or otherwise), including (without limitation),
any tax, accounting or legal advice or counsel;  (e) the Borrower is not relying
upon, and none of the Sureties is relying upon, any expertise,  business acumen,
industry  knowledge or other guidance of any kind whatsoever of the Lender,  any
of its  affiliates  or any of  their  respective  officers,  attorneys  or other
representatives  (whether with respect to any Business  Attribute or otherwise),
including  (without   limitation)  any  aspect  of  the  ownership,   operation,
development,  financing or taxation of any thereof; (f) no counsel to the Lender
has in any way  provided  any tax or other legal  counsel,  analysis,  advice or
assurance to, or has in any way otherwise represented,  the Borrower, any Surety
or any of their  respective  affiliates  or other  representatives,  whether  in
connection with any Loan Instrument or otherwise (and each such counsel may rely
on this clause (f) as if  directly  addressed  to them and is an intended  third
party  beneficiary  hereof);  (g) the  Lender,  its  affiliates  and  its  other
representatives  may be  providing  debt  financing,  equity  capital  or  other
services  (including  financial advisory services) to other companies or persons
in  respect  of which  the  Borrower,  any  Surety  or any of  their  respective
affiliates may have conflicting  interests regarding the transactions  described
herein and  otherwise,  and that neither the Lender nor any of its affiliates or
representatives  has any obligation to use in connection  with the  transactions
contemplated by any Loan  Instrument,  or to advise the Borrower,  any Surety or
any  of  their  respective  affiliates  of,  or  furnish  to any  of  them,  any
confidential  or  other  information  obtained  by the  Lender  or any of  their
affiliates  or  representatives  from or with  respect  to  other  transactions,
companies  or  persons;  and (h) by  accepting  or  approving  any  certificate,
statement,  report or other document or information  required to be given to the
Lender (whether as a required notice or report,  for approval or otherwise),  or
any alleged  performance  of  anything  required to be  observed,  performed  or
fulfilled  by the  Borrower,  or any Surety,  pursuant to this Note or any other
Loan Instrument,  neither the Lender nor any of its representatives  shall have,
or shall be deemed or construed to have, made any  representation or warranty to
or agreement with the Borrower,  or any Surety with respect  thereto or affirmed
the sufficiency, the legality, enforceability, effectiveness or financial impact
or other effect thereof.

Section  17.  Reliance on  Representations,  Etc.  The Lender  shall be
entitled to rely, and in entering into this Note and the other Loan  Instruments
and  making  any  Advances  or  other  Loans  in  fact  has  relied,   upon  the
representations,  warranties and other information respecting the Borrower, each
Surety  and  each  other  persons  contained  in this  Note and the  other  Loan
Instruments notwithstanding (A) any credit information that at any time may have
been or from time to time  hereafter may be sought,  obtained or reviewed by the
Lender 

or (B) any other investigation, analysis or evaluation that at any time may have
been  made or  from  time to time  hereafter  may be made by the  Lender  or its
designees  of all or any part of the  assets,  business,  cash  flow,  expenses,
income, liabilities,  operations, properties, prospects, reputation or condition
(financial or otherwise) of the Borrower,  any Surety,  any of their  respective
principals or other affiliates (if any), or any other person.

Section 18.  Lender's Right of Setoff,  Etc. The Lender in its sole and
absolute  discretion  is  hereby  authorized  at any time and from  time to time
during the  continuance  of any  nonpayment or other Default or Event of Default
under  this  Note  or  any  other  Loan  Instrument,  or any  other  nonpayment,
misrepresentation,  nonperformance or other breach or default in or with respect
to any of the Obligations, in each case without notice to the Borrower (any such
notice being  hereby  absolutely,  unconditionally,  irrevocably  and  expressly
waived  forever by the  Borrower),  to set off  (directly  or through any of the
affiliates,  custodians,  participants and designees of the Lender) and apply to
or against any and all of the  Obligations  (whether now or  hereafter  created,
acquired or existing) any and all (a) deposits (whether general or special, time
or demand,  provisional  or final,  or individual or joint) and other assets and
properties at any time held in the possession,  custody or control of the Lender
and any of its affiliates,  custodians,  participants and designees  (including,
without  limitation,  any items  held in any  investment  management  or custody
account),  and (b)  indebtedness or other amount or obligation at any time owing
by the Lender or any of its  affiliates or  participants,  to or for the credit,
account or benefit of the Borrower, in each case whether or not the Lender shall
have made any demand for the payment and/or  performance of any such obligations
(in  whole or in part)  from the  Borrower,  any  Surety  or any  other  person,
declared any default under this Note or any other Loan  Instrument,  accelerated
any  of  the  Obligations  or  other  non-demand   obligations  under  any  Loan
Instrument,  or made any other demand or taken any other  action,  whether under
this  Note,  any other Loan  Instrument  or  otherwise,  and  although  any such
obligations  may be  contingent  or  unmatured  (in whole or in  part).  Without
limiting the  foregoing,  the Borrower  hereby grants to the Lender a continuing
security interest in and to all such possessory deposits,  assets and properties
of and all such indebtedness and other obligations owed to the Borrower; and the
Borrower hereby authorizes each such holder to so set off and apply such amounts
at such  times and in such  manner as the Lender  may  direct  pursuant  to this
Section, in each case to the fullest extent possible as if the person making the
setoff  were a  direct  creditor  of the  Borrower  in the  full  amount  of the
Obligations.  The Lender shall  endeavor to notify the  Borrower  after any such
setoff and application;  provided, however, that the failure to give such notice
shall not affect the  validity of such setoff and  application.  In debiting any
such account,  the Obligations  shall be deemed to have been paid or repaid only
to the extent of the funds  actually  available in that account  notwithstanding
any  internal  procedure  of the  Lender or any of its  affiliates,  custodians,
participants and designees to the contrary.  The rights of the Lender under this
Section are in addition to and without  limitation of any other rights,  powers,
privileges,  remedies and other interests (including,  without limitation, other
rights of set off and  security  interests)  that the Lender may have under this
Note, any other Loan  Instrument,  any other  document or  transaction  with the
Borrower, or applicable law.

Section  19.  Exculpation  and  Indemnification.  The  Lender  and  its
participants,   affiliates,  custodians  and  designees,  and  their  respective
shareholders,  partners,  members,  directors,  officers,  managers,  employees,
attorneys and agents (together with the Lender, each an "Indemnitee"), shall not
incur  any  liability  for any  acts  or  omissions  (and  the  Borrower  hereby
absolutely,  unconditionally,  irrevocably  and  expressly  waives and  releases
forever any and all related  claims and actions  against each  Indemnitee),  and
each  Indemnitee  shall be  indemnified,  reimbursed  and held  harmless  by the
Borrower on demand by the Lender),  and (at the request of the Lender)  defended
at the expense of the  Borrower  with counsel  selected by the Lender,  from and
against any and all claims, liabilities, losses and expenses (including, without
limitation, the disbursements,  expenses and fees of their respective attorneys)
that may be imposed upon,  incurred by, or asserted  against any Indemnitee,  in
each case arising out of or related  directly or  indirectly  to this Note,  any
other  Loan  Instrument,  any  of  the  Collateral,  any  of  the  Loans  or the
application of any proceeds thereof,  or any environmental  claim, except to the
extent  occasioned by the  Indemnitee's  own acts or omissions  breaching a duty
owed to the Borrower and amounting to gross negligence or willful  misconduct as
finally determined pursuant to applicable law by a governmental authority having
jurisdiction. The preceding exception for gross negligence or willful misconduct
is not intended  (and shall not be deemed or  construed)  to in any way qualify,
condition,  diminish, restrict, limit or otherwise affect any other exculpation,
indemnification,  release,  waiver,  consent,  acknowledgment,  authorization or
other term or provision of this Note or any other Loan Instrument.

Section  20.  Notices.  Except as  otherwise  expressly  provided,  any
notice, request, demand or other communication permitted or required to be given
under this Note or any other Loan Instrument shall be in writing,  shall be sent
by one of the following means to the addressee at the address set forth above or
below (or at such other  address as shall be  designated  hereunder by notice to
the other parties and persons receiving  copies,  effective upon actual receipt)
and shall be deemed  conclusively to have been given:  (a) on the first Business
Day following the day timely deposited with Federal Express (or other equivalent
national or international overnight courier) or United States Express Mail, with
the cost of delivery prepaid or for the account of the sender;  (b) on the fifth
Business  Day  following  the day duly sent by certified  or  registered  United
States mail, postage prepaid 

and return receipt  requested;  or (c) when otherwise  actually  received by the
addressee on a Business Day (or on the next  Business Day if received  after the
close of normal business hours or on any non-Business  Day),  including (without
limitation) any telecopy. Refusal to accept delivery of any item shall be deemed
to be receipt of such item by the refusing  party.  Notices also may be given by
telephone to the extent and for the purposes  provided in this Note or any other
Loan Instrument. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Lender may record
any and all telephone  calls with the Borrower and its  representatives  without
any further or specific notice of any such recording.

Section 21.  Expenses,  Etc.  The  Borrower  shall pay or  reimburse on
demand any and all costs and expenses  incurred by the Lender,  whether directly
or indirectly, in connection with (a) the preparation, execution and delivery of
the  Lender's  term sheet or  commitment  letter,  (b) any  syndication  of this
facility, (c) the preparation,  execution and closing of this Note and the other
Loan  Instruments,  and  all  waivers,  releases,   discharges,   satisfactions,

thereto,  (d) all payments made and actions  taken  thereunder in the name or on
behalf of the  Borrower  under this Note or any other Loan  Instrument,  (e) all
periodic  audits  and  other  evaluations  and  the  ongoing  monitoring  of the
Collateral (including, without limitation, the per diem fees and expenses of the
Lender and its designees in performing such audits and other  evaluations),  (f)
all searches (whether respecting  financing  statements,  unpaid taxes and other
security   interests,   liens  and   encumbrances   or  otherwise)   and  credit
verifications, (g) all surveys and appraisals, title examinations and insurance,
and surety bond premiums,  (h) all mortgage  recording,  documentary,  transfer,
intangible,  note or other similar taxes and revenue stamps, and all filings and
recordings,   and  (i)  the   administration,   maintenance,   enforcement   and
adjudication  of this Note, any other Loan  Instrument  and the rights,  powers,
privileges,  remedies  and other  interests of the Lender  thereunder  and under
applicable law, in each case including  (without  limitation) the disbursements,
expenses and fees of counsel to the Lender (including,  without limitation,  the
allocated  costs of in-house  counsel),  currently  Jenkens &  Gilchrist  Parker
Chapin LLP,  and the  disbursements,  expenses  and fees of any local or special
counsel retained by the Lender or its counsel.

Section 22. Agreement Absolute, Survival of Representations,  Etc. Each
of the payment  obligations,  representations  and warranties (as of the date(s)
made or deemed made), covenants, waivers and other agreements and obligations of
the Borrower contained in this Note and the other Loan Instruments:  (a) are and
shall be absolute,  irrevocable and unconditional,  irrespective of (among other
things) the validity,  legality,  binding effect or enforceability of any of the
other  terms and  provisions  of this Note or any other Loan  Instrument  or any
other act,  circumstance  or other event  described in this  Section;  (b) shall
survive  and remain and  continue  in full force and effect in  accordance  with
their  respective  terms and provisions  following and without regard to (i) the
execution  and  delivery  of this  Note or any  other  Loan  Instrument  and the
performance or non-performance of any Obligations or Surety's  Obligations under
any Loan Instrument,  (ii) any advance, accrual, payment, repayment or readvance
of  any  amount  under  any  Loan  Instrument,   or  the  inception,   creation,
acquisition,  increase, decrease, satisfaction or existence from time to time of
any Obligations or Surety's Obligations under any Loan Instrument,  in each case
irrespective of the fact that from time to time the  outstanding  balance of the
Loans  and  other  monetary   Obligations   may  be  zero,   (iii)  any  waiver,
modification,   extension,  renewal,  consolidation,   spreading,  amendment  or
restatement  of or other change in any term or provision of (A) this Note or any
other Loan  Instrument or (B) any one or more of the Loans or other  Obligations
or any Surety's  Obligations,  including  (without  limitation) any extension or
other change in the time, manner,  place or other term of payment or performance
of any of the  foregoing,  in each case  except as and to the  extent  expressly
modified by the terms and  provisions  of any such  extension,  change,  waiver,
modification, renewal, consolidation,  spreading, amendment or restatement, (iv)
any full,  partial or  non-exercise  of any of the rights,  powers,  privileges,
remedies and  interests of the Lender under any Loan  Instrument  or  applicable
law, against the Borrower, any Surety or any other person or with respect to any
of the  Obligations,  any Surety's  Obligations,  any other  obligations  or any
collateral or security  interest  therein,  which exercise or enforcement may be
delayed, discontinued or otherwise not pursued or exhausted for any or no reason
whatsoever,  or which may be  waived,  omitted or  otherwise  not  exercised  or
enforced (whether intentionally or otherwise), (v) any surrender,  repossession,
sequestration,  foreclosure,  conveyance  or  assignment  (by  deed  in  lieu or
otherwise),   sale,  lease  or  other  realization,   dealing,   liquidation  or
disposition  respecting any collateral or setoff respecting any account or other
asset in accordance with any Loan Instrument or applicable law (except as and to
the extent the Obligations have been  permanently  reduced by the application of
the net  proceeds  thereof),  (vi) the  perfected  or  non-perfected  status  or
priority of any  mortgage  or other  security  interest in any such  collateral,
which  may be held  without  recordation,  filing or other  perfection  (whether
intentionally  or  otherwise),  (vii)  any  release,   settlement,   adjustment,
subordination or impairment of all or any part of the Obligations,  any Surety's
Obligations,  any other  obligations or any collateral or any security  interest
therein under or with respect to any Loan Instrument or applicable law,  whether
intentionally or otherwise  (except as and to the extent  expressly  modified by
the terms and provisions of any such release, settlement or adjustment),  (viii)
any  extension,  stay,  moratorium  or statute of  limitations  or similar  time
constraint  under  any  applicable  law,  (ix) any  investigation,  analysis  or
evaluation  by the Lender or its designees of the assets,  business,  cash flow,

prospects, reputation or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower, any
Surety,  or any other person,  (x) any  application  to any  obligations  of the
Borrower or any Surety other than any Obligations or Surety's Obligations of (A)
any payments from such person not specifically designated for application to the
Obligations or Surety's  Obligations or (B) any proceeds of collateral from such
person other than from the Collateral,  (xi) any sale,  conveyance,  assignment,
participation or other transfer by the Lender (in whole or in part) to any other
person of any one or more of this Note or any of the Loan Instruments or any one
or more of the rights, powers,  privileges,  remedies or interests of the Lender
herein or therein, or (xii) any act or omission on the part of the Lender or any
other  person or any other  act,  event or  circumstance  that  otherwise  might
constitute  a  legal  or  equitable  defense,  counterclaim  or  discharge  of a
borrower, co-obligor,  indemnitor, guarantor, pledgor or surety; in each case in
such  manner  and  order,  upon such terms and  provisions  and  subject to such
conditions  as the  Lender  may  deem  necessary  or  desirable  in its sole and
absolute discretion,  without notice to or further assent from the Borrower, any
Surety,  or any  other  person  (except  for such  notices  as may be  expressly
required to be given to such party under the applicable  Loan  Instrument),  and
without  affecting  any of the rights,  powers,  privileges,  remedies and other
interests  of the  Lender  under  this  Note,  the other  Loan  Instruments  and
applicable law; (c) shall not be subject to any defense,  counterclaim,  setoff,
right of recoupment,  abatement,  reduction or other claim or determination that
the Borrower,  any Surety, or any other person may have against the Lender,  any
Surety or any other  person;  (d) shall not be  diminished  or  qualified by the
death,  disability,   dissolution,   reorganization,   insolvency,   bankruptcy,
custodianship or receivership of the Borrower,  any Surety, or any other person,
or the  inability  of any of them to pay their  respective  debts or  perform or
otherwise satisfy their respective obligations as they become due for any reason
whatsoever;  and (e) shall remain and continue in full force and effect  without
regard to any of the foregoing acts,  events or  circumstances  (i) until all of
the  Obligations  have been fully paid and  satisfied and (ii)  thereafter  with
respect to any and all acts,  events or  circumstances  occurring  prior to such
payment and satisfaction and any and all resulting claims,  liabilities,  losses
and expenses  (including,  without  limitation,  the  attorneys'  disbursements,
expenses and fees), whenever incurred or asserted.

Section 23.  Severability.  In the event that any term or  provision of
this  Note or any  other  Loan  Instrument  shall be  finally  determined  to be
superseded,  invalid,  illegal or otherwise unenforceable pursuant to applicable
law  by  a  governmental   authority  having   jurisdiction   and  venue,   that
determination  shall not impair or otherwise  affect the  validity,  legality or
enforceability  (a) by or before that  governmental  authority of the  remaining
terms and provisions of this Note or any other Loan  Instrument,  which shall be
enforced as if the  unenforceable  term or provision were deleted,  or (b) by or
before any other  governmental  authority of any of the terms and  provisions of
this Note or any other Loan Instrument.

Section 24. No Waiver by Action,  Cumulative Rights, Etc. Any waiver or
consent  respecting  this Note or any other Loan  Instrument  shall be effective
only if in  writing  and  signed by the  Lender  and then  only in the  specific
instance  and for the  specific  purpose for which  given.  No waiver or consent
shall be deemed  (regardless  of frequency  given) to be a further or continuing
waiver or  consent.  The failure or delay (in whole or in part) of the Lender to
require performance of, or to exercise or otherwise enforce any of the rights or
remedies of the Lender with  respect to, any term or  provision  of this Note or
any other  Loan  Instrument  shall in no way affect the right of the Lender at a
later time to  exercise or  otherwise  enforce  any such term or  provision.  No
notice to or demand on the Borrower or any Surety in any case shall entitle such
party to any other or further  notice or demand.  No acceptance by the Lender of
(A) any partial or late payment shall  constitute  (or be deemed or construed to
be) a  satisfaction  or  waiver  of the full  amount  then due or the  resulting
Default or Event of Default,  or (B) any payment  during the  continuance of any
Default or Event of Default shall constitute (or be deemed or construed to be) a
waiver or cure  thereof;  and in each case the  Lender  may accept or reject any
such payment without  affecting any  Obligations or any Surety's  Obligations or
any of the rights,  powers,  privileges,  remedies  and other  interests  of the
Lender  under this Note,  the other Loan  Instruments  and  applicable  law. All
representations,  warranties,  covenants,  agreements  and  obligaitons  of  the
Borrower in this Note and all rights,  powers,  privileges,  remedies  and other
interests  of the  Lender  under  this  Note,  the  other  Loan  Instruments  or
applicable law are cumulative and not alternatives.

Section  25.   Successors   and   Assigns,   Assignment   and  Intended
Beneficiaries.  Whenever in this Note or any other Loan Instrument  reference is
made to any party,  such  reference  shall be deemed to include the  successors,
assigns,  heirs and legal  representatives  of such party, and, without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, all representations,  warranties, covenants and
other  agreements made by or on behalf of the Borrower in this Note or any other
Loan  Instrument  shall  inure to the  benefit  of the  participants  and  other
successors  and assigns of the Lender;  provided,  however,  that nothing herein
shall be deemed  to  authorize  or  permit  the  Borrower  to assign  any of the
Borrower's rights or obligations under this Note or any other Loan Instrument to
any other person (whether or not an affiliate of the Borrower), and the Borrower
covenants and agrees that the Borrower shall not make any such  assignment.  The

selling parties in respect of such  transaction  (provided that if the
transaction  involved less than 100% ownership of Stimulys,  such cash
proceeds shall be deemed  increased for purposes of this definition to
the amount that would have been received if the  transaction  involved
100% ownership of Stimulys); in each case net of direct costs relating
to such transaction (including without limitation,  legal,  accounting
and  investment  banking fees, and sales  commissions)  and net of the
amount  of  Stimulys'  outstanding  indebtedness  (provided  that such
indebtedness  shall  be  excluded  only  if  and to  the  extent  such
indebtedness  did not reduce the  appraised  value of  Stimulys by the
amount of such indebtedness,  and is assumed directly or indirectly by
the purchaser).

-    "Non-Affiliate" means (i) one or more persons, entity or entities that
are not Initial Owners.

-    Non-Tax  Distribution"  means any  dividend or other  distribution  to
Stimulys'  equity owners in excess of the amount  necessary to satisfy
the  obligations  of such  equity  owners to pay all local,  state and
federal income taxes due or to become due before or during the year in
which the distribution is made as a result of their ownership interest
in Stimulys  (assuming  a tax rate  applicable  to such  distributions
equal to the sum of the highest  incremental  local, state and federal
income tax rates applicable at the time to individuals) if and only if
Stimulys is a non-taxable entity.

2.   Commitment Regarding Sale Proceeds.

A.  Base  Commitment.  Upon  the  occurrence  of a Change  of  Control
transaction,  Stimulys or the selling  parties,  as the case may be,  shall
distribute or cause to be distributed to Spar a portion of the Net Proceeds
from such Change of Control  transaction,  within 30 days of receipt of the
Net Proceeds, equal to the sum of:

-2-

(i)   Twenty-Three  and  One-Half  percent  (23  1/2%)  of  the  first
$10,000,000 of Net Proceeds; and

(ii)  Fifteen   percent  (15%)  of  any  Net  Proceeds  in  excess  of
$10,000,000.

The proceeds to which Spar is entitled  pursuant to this Section 2.A shall be in
the same form (i.e., cash, securities,  other consideration,  or any combination
of the foregoing) and proportions as the consideration received by the seller(s)
in the applicable  Change of Control  transaction,  unless the parties  affected
thereby otherwise agree.

B. Right of First  Refusal  to Spar.  As a  condition  to the entry by
Stimulys  into a Change of Control  transaction,  Stimulys  shall  first be
required to: (i) secure an appraisal of Stimulys by a nationally recognized
business  appraisal  company with  expertise in valuing  companies  such as
Stimulys, (ii) provide Spar a copy of the appraisal report, together with a
written offer, which shall remain in effect for a period of thirty days and
shall be  legally  binding on  Stimulys,  to sell all of  Stimulys'  assets
(unless  the parties  shall  agree to a stock sale or another  form of sale
transaction)  to Spar for cash equal to 90% of the sum of (x) the appraisal
value of  Stimulys  shown in the  appraisal  report  plus (y) the amount of
Stimulys' outstanding  indebtedness  (provided that such indebtedness shall
be added to the appraised value only if and to the extent such indebtedness
did not reduce the appraised value of Stimulys, and is not assumed directly
or indirectly by SPAR).

If Spar elects to exercise such right to purchase Stimulys' assets for
90% of the  appraised  value of  Stimulys  plus  the  amount  of  Stimulys'
indebtedness  (if  applicable),  the parties  shall  proceed  forthwith  to
preparation  of asset  purchase and sale  documents in form  customary  and
reasonable  for a transaction  of that type and size,  and shall close such
purchase and sale as soon as is reasonably practicable.

Because the sale to Spar in that instance shall constitute a Change of
Control transaction, Spar shall be entitled to receive a portion of the Net
Proceeds from the transaction, which may be deducted from the sale price if
requested by Spar.

If Spar does not elect to  exercise  its right to  purchase  Stimulys'
assets,  Stimulys and its owners shall be free to pursue a sale transaction
within six months  thereafter for a price no less than 90% of the appraised
value  shown in the  appraisal  and  under the same  terms  and  conditions
offered to SPAR.

C. Distributions  Prior to Change of Control. If approved by Stimulys'
Board of Directors and subject to the availability of  distributable  funds
thereof,  Stimulys may make distributions to its equity owners from time to
time.   To  the  extent  any  such   distribution   constitutes  a  Non-Tax
Distribution,  Spar shall be entitled to a payment  equal to 30.72% of such
Non-Tax  Distribution  until total  distributions  to Spar pursuant to this
Section 2.C equal $2,350,000, after which Spar shall be entitled to further
distributions  equal to 17.65%  of any  subsequent  Non-Tax  Distributions.
Notwithstanding the preceding,  there will be no Non-Tax Distributions made
unless (A) Stimulys' cumulative

-3-

net income  after taxes from the  effective  date of this  agreement to the
date   of  the   Non-Tax   Distribution   exceeds   two   million   dollars
($2,000,000.00)  and Stimulys'  Tangible Net deficit (negative tangible net
worth) is no less than minus four million  seven hundred  thousand  dollars
($4,700,000.00)   after  any  non-tax   distribution).   For   purposes  of
clarification,  if the Tangible Net Deficit is  $(4,700,001.00),  a Non-Tax
Distribution   cannot   be  made,   if  the   Tangible   Net   Deficit   is
$(4,699,999.00),  a Non-Tax  Distribution  can be made.  In any given year,
total Non-Tax  Distributions  will be limited to 30% of the prior years net
income  after  taxes as reported in  Stimulys'  year and audited  financial
statements. Prior to issuance, any Non-Tax Distribution must be approved by
the Stimulys  Lender/Lenders  in effect at that time.  Spar's approval will
not be required.  No distributions will be made in the two years prior to a
sale.

D. Escrow of Shares. In order to ensure that Spar received the portion
of the  proceeds of a Change of Control  transaction  as set out in Section
2.A above,  as a condition to the  effectiveness  of this Agreement  Thomas
Hunter shall tender the certificate(s)  evidencing the Hunter Securities to
a mutually acceptable neutral party serving as Escrow Agent under an Escrow
Agreement to be executed contemporaneously  herewith, which shall be in the
form  attached  hereto as Exhibit A (the  "Escrow  Agreement").  The escrow
arrangement  shall not  affect  Mr.  Hunter's  ability  to vote the  Hunter
Securities or to receive distributions in respect of such securities.

E. Restriction on Non-Change of Control Transactions. Neither Stimulys
nor its owners shall be entitled to conduct any sale of Stimulys' assets or
stock to a third party  entity that does not result in a Change of Control,
unless  (i)  the  acquirer  shall  have  assumed  in  writing  all  of  the
obligations of Stimulys  under this  Agreement,  (ii) the Escrow  Agreement
shall  have  been  modified  to apply  to the  acquirer  entity  in lieu of
Stimulys, and (iii) Thomas Hunter shall have tendered all equity securities
he Controls or will Control in the acquiring  entity to the Escrow Agent as
contemplated in Section 2.D above.

3. Release of Term Loan. Spar acknowledges that the commitments of Stimulys
made in Section 2 above fully and finally  satisfy all  indebtedness of any part
in respect of the Term Loan. Accordingly,  Spar hereby releases PHI and Stimulys
from any and all claims,  demands,  liability  or causes of action in respect of
the Term Loan,  including without limitation all obligations of PHI and Stimulys
under  the Term  Notes,  the  Term  Loan  Agreement,  and all  other  documents,
instruments,  agreements and other writing entered into by PHI, Stimulys or Spar
in order to give effect to the Term Loan.

4. Release of  Collateral.  Without  limiting the  generality  of Section 3
above,  Spar  acknowledges  that any security  interest it has in any collateral
pledged  pursuant to the Term Loan  Agreement is hereby forever  released.  Spar
agrees to assist Stimulys with and to cooperate  (including  without  limitation
execution  and  filing  (at  Stimulys'  expense)  of UCC-3  Partial  Termination
Statements)  in the  termination  of Spar's  security  interest in collateral of
either  Stimulys or PHI,  other than Spar's  security  interest in the  accounts
receivable of Stimulys, all as reasonably requested by Stimulys or PHI from time
to time.

-4-

5.   Mutual Release.

A.  Release  by  Spar.  Spar,  on  behalf  of  itself  and its  affiliates,
successors,  assigns,  divisions,  parents,  subsidiaries,   employees,  agents,
directors,   officers,   shareholders,   attorneys,   successors   and   assigns

liabilities,  claims, remedies, demands, suits or causes of action of whatsoever
kind or  character,  in whole or in part whether  choate or inchoate,  which the
Spar Parties now have or ever have had against the Stimulys Parties arising from
any occurrence or transaction  between the Spar Parties and the Stimulys Parties
from the beginning of time to the date hereof; provided,  -------- however, that
notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 5.A shall be construed as

Stimulys Parties under this Agreement or any other document or agreement entered
into simultaneously herewith.

B.  Release  by  Stimulys.  Stimulys,  on behalf  of  itself  and the other
Stimulys  Parties,  hereby  releases,  acquits and forever  discharges  the Spar
Parties and from any and all liabilities,  claims,  remedies,  demands, suits or
causes of action of whatsoever kind or character,  in whole or in part,  whether
choate or inchoate, which the Stimulys Parties now have or ever have had against
the Spar Parties  arising from any  occurrence or  transaction  between the Spar
Parties and the Stimulys  Parties from the beginning of time to the date hereof;
provided,  however, that notwithstanding the foregoing,  nothing in this Section
6.A shall be construed as or shall have the effect of releasing  any  obligation
of any of the Spar  Parties  under  this  Agreement  or any  other  document  or
agreement entered into simultaneously herewith.

6.  Management of Company.  At all times while this Agreement is in effect,
Stimulys shall be managed in a normal and customary manner, consistent with past
practices.

7.  Provision of Financial  Information.  No later than 120th day after the
end of each fiscal year of Stimulys,  Stimulys  shall provide Spar its financial
statements  for the prior fiscal year,  prepared in  accordance  with  Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles consistently applied,  including all accompanying
footnotes  audited by a non-related  accounting  firm acceptable and approved by
the Stimulys  Lender/Lenders in effect at that time. Stimulys shall also provide
quarterly  unaudited  statements  or such other  statements as would be normally
maintained and usual.

8. Expenses. The parties agree each will be responsible for and bear all of
its own costs and expenses in connection with the  transactions  contemplated by
this  Agreement,  including,  but not  limited to, all  attorneys,  accountants,
investment  advisors or other  professional  fees  incurred by the parties.  The
parties  agree  that no  broker  or  finder  is or will be due any fee or  other
compensation in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
No expenses incurred by any party shall be assumed to be paid by any other party
without the written permission of the responsible party.

-5-

9.  Disclosure.  Except as and to the extent  required by law,  without the
prior written  consent of the other party  neither  Stimulys nor Spar will make,
and each will direct its  representatives  not to make,  directly or indirectly,
any public comment,  statement or communication with respect to, or otherwise to
disclose or to permit the disclosure of the existence of  discussions  regarding
this  transaction  or any of the  terms,  conditions,  or other  aspects  of the
transaction  described in this  Agreement,  except to their banks,  auditors and
legal or  financial  advisors.  If a Party is  required  by law to make any such
disclosure,  such Party shall first notify the other party of the content of the
proposed  disclosure,  the reasons such  disclosure  is required by law, and the
time and place that the disclosure will be made. SPAR will be allowed to provide
that  information  which in its sole judgment is required to be filed as part of
any official  documents  filed with the SEC or other  governmental or regulatory
agencies. Such information shall include any required press release.

10.  Entire  Agreement;   Amendments.  The  provisions  of  this  Agreement
constitute the entire and only agreement between the parties with respect to the
subject  matter  hereof  and  supersede  all  prior   agreements,   commitments,
representations, understandings, or negotiations, oral or written, and all other
communications   relating  to  the  subject  matter  hereof.   No  amendment  or
modification of any of the provisions of this Agreement will be effective unless
set forth in a document that purports to amend this Agreement and is executed by
all parties hereto.

11.   Counterparts.   This  Agreement  may  be  executed  in  one  or  more
counterparts,  each of  which  shall  be  deemed  an  original  and all of which
counterparts  collectively  shall  constitute  one instrument  representing  the
agreement  between the parties  hereto.  It shall not be necessary  that any one
counterpart  be  signed  by all of the  parties  hereto  as  long as each of the
parties has signed at least one counterpart.

12. Governing Law and Venue. The validity, construction, and performance of
this Agreement shall be governed by and in accordance with the laws of the State
of New York  (other  than  those  choice of law rules  that  would  defer to the
substantive laws of another jurisdiction).  This governing law election has been
made by the  parties in  reliance  (at least in part) on  Section  5-1401 of the
General  Obligations  Law of the State of New York,  as  amended  (as and to the
extent  applicable),  and other  applicable  law. Each party hereby consents and
agrees  that the  Supreme  Court of the  State  of New  York for the  County  of
Westchester  and the United States  District Court for the Southern  District of
New York,  County of  Westchester,  each shall have  personal  jurisdiction  and
proper venue with respect to any dispute between the parties under or related to
this  Agreement;  provided that the foregoing  consent shall not deprive  either
party of the right in its sole and absolute  discretion to voluntarily  commence
or  participate  in any action,  suit or  proceeding  in any other court  having
jurisdiction  and  venue  over  the  other  party.  The  preceding  consents  to
jurisdiction  and venue have been made by the parties in  reliance  (at least in
part) on Section 5-1402 of the General Obligations Law of the State of New York,
as amended (as and to the extent  applicable),  and other  applicable  law. Each
party will not raise, and hereby  absolutely,  unconditionally,  irrevocably and
expressly  waives  forever,  any objection or defense in any such dispute to any
such New York jurisdiction as an inconvenient forum.

13. Interpretation. The parties acknowledge that each party and its counsel
have reviewed and negotiated the terms and provisions of this Agreement and have
contributed to its

-6-

revision.  Accordingly,  the normal  rule of  construction,  to the effect  that
ambiguities are resolved  against the drafting  party,  shall not be employed in
the  interpretation  of this  Agreement;  and its terms and provisions  shall be
construed  fairly as to all  parties  hereto and not in favor of or against  any
party, regardless of which party is generally responsible for the preparation of
this Agreement.

Master Lease Agreement

Lessor:   SPAR Marketing Services, Inc.    Lessee:  SPAR Marketing Force, Inc.

Address:  580 White Plains Road            Address: 1791 Harmon Road
Tarrytown, NY 10591                       Auburn Hills, MI 48326

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF LEASE

The undersigned  Lessee hereby requests Lessor to purchase the personal property
described in any Equipment Schedule  hereunder (herein called  "Equipment") from
the  supplier(s)  listed in any  Equipment  Schedule  hereunder  (herein  called
"Vendor"  and/or  "Manufacturer",  as applicable)  and to lease the Equipment to
Lessee on the terms and conditions of the lease set forth below.

Lessor  hereby  leases to Lessee,  and Lessee  hereby  leases from  Lessor,  the
Equipment,  all upon the terms and  provisions and subject to the conditions set
forth in this Master Lease Agreement (as the same may be supplemented, modified,
amended,  restated or replaced from time to time in the manner provided  herein,
this "Lease").

In  consideration  of  the  foregoing,   the  mutual  covenants  and  agreements
hereinafter set forth,  and other good and valuable  consideration  (the receipt
and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged by the parties), the parties hereto
hereby agree as follows:

1.       NO WARRANTIES BY LESSOR. Lessee has selected the Equipment and may have
entered into certain  purchase,  licensing,  or maintenance  agreements
with  the  Vendor  and/or  Manufacturer   (herein  referred  to  as  an
"Acquisition Agreement") covering the Equipment as further described in
Paragraph  25  hereof.  If  Lessee  has  entered  into any  Acquisition
Agreement,   each  agreement  shall  provide  for  certain  rights  and
obligations  of the party  thereto with respect to the  Equipment,  and
Lessee  shall  perform  all  of  the  obligations  set  forth  in  each
Acquisition  Agreement as if this Lease did not exist.  LESSOR MAKES NO
WARRANTY,  EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,  AS TO ANY MATTER WHATSOEVER,  INCLUDING
THE CONDITION OF THE EQUIPMENT,  ITS  MERCHANTABILITY  OR ITS FITNESSES
FOR ANY  PARTICULAR  PURPOSE,  AND,  AS TO  LESSOR,  LESSEE  LEASES THE
EQUIPMENT  "AS IS" AND "WHERE IS".  LESSOR SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY  FOR
ANY LOSS,  DAMAGE OR EXPENSE OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER  RELATING  THERETO,
INCLUDING  (WITHOUT  LIMITATION) ANY SPECIAL,  INDIRECT,  INCIDENTAL OR
CONSQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY CHARACTER.

2.       CLAIMS  AGAINST  VENDOR  AND/OR  MANUFACTURER.  If the Equipment is not
properly  installed,  does not operate as  represented  or warranted by
Vendor and/or Manufacturer, or is unsatisfactory for any reason, Lessee
shall make any claim on account  thereof  solely  against Vendor and/or
Manufacturer pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement,  if any, and shall,
nevertheless,  pay  Lessor  all rent  payable  under  this  Lease.  All
warranties from Vendor and/or  Manufacturer are, to the extent they are
assignable,  hereby  assigned  to Lessee  for the term of this Lease or
until an Event of Default occurs  hereunder,  for Lessee's  exercise at
Lessee's  expense.  Lessee may  directly  inquire  with  Vendor  and/or
Manufacturer  to receive an accurate  and  complete  statement  of such
warranties, including any disclaimers or limitations of such warranties
or of any remedies with respect thereto.

3.       VENDOR NOT AN AGENT. Lessee understands and agrees that neither Vendor,
nor any sales  representative  or other agent of Vendor, is an agent of
Lessor. Sales representatives or agents of Vendor, and persons that are
not  employed  by  Lessor  (including   brokers  and  agents)  are  not
authorized  to waive or alter any term or condition of this Lease,  and
no  representation as to the Equipment or any other matter by Vendor or
any other person that is not employed by Lessor  (including  brokers or
agents)  shall  in any way  affect  Lessee's  duty to pay the  rent and
perform its other obligations as set forth in this Lease.

4.       NON-CANCELLABLE  LEASE.  This Lease and any Equipment  Schedule  hereto
cannot be cancelled or terminated except as expressly  provided herein.
Lessee  agrees  that its  obligation  to pay all rent  and  other  sums
payable  hereunder  and the  rights  of  Lessor in and to such rent are
absolute  and  unconditional  and are  not  subject  to any  abatement,
reduction,  setoff, defense,  counterclaim or recoupment due or alleged
to be due to, or by reason of, any past, present or future claims which
Lessee may have against  Lessor,  any  assignee,  any  Manufacturer  or
Vendor, or against any person for any reason whatsoever.

5.       ORDERING EQUIPMENT.  Lessee shall arrange for delivery of the Equipment
so that it can be accepted in accordance with Paragraph 6 hereof within
90 days after the date on which Lessor accepts  Lessee's offer to enter
into this Lease with respect to any Equipment Schedule or by such other
date as may be set forth in 

an  Equipment  Schedule  or  Approval  Letter  issued  by Lessor as the
Approval  Expiration Date. Unless otherwise  specified on the Equipment
Schedule, Lessee shall be responsible for all transportation,  packing,
installation,   testing  and  other  charges  in  connection  with  the
delivery,   installation  and  use  of  the  Equipment.  Lessee  hereby
authorizes  Lessor to insert in any  Equipment  Schedule  hereunder the
serial  numbers  and  other   identification  data  of  Equipment  when
determined by Lessor.

6.       ACCEPTANCE.  Lessee  acknowledges  that for  purposes of  receiving  or
accepting  the  Equipment  from  Vendor,  Lessee is acting on  Lessor's
behalf.   Upon  delivery  of  the  Equipment  to  Lessee  and  Lessee's
inspection thereof, Lessee shall furnish Lessor a written statement (a)
acknowledging receipt of the Equipment in good condition and repair and
(b)  accepting it as  satisfactory  in all respects for the purposes of

forth in the applicable Equipment Schedule,  the first day of the month
following  receipt  and  acceptance  of  the  Equipment  covered  by an
Equipment  Schedule  shall  be the  Rent  Commencement  Date  therefor.
However,  should  Lessee  have a previous  lease with  Lessor  which is
active at the time of acceptance  of the Equipment  under the Equipment
Schedule and said lease and the current  Equipment  Schedule  hereunder
shall have the same  invoice  address then the Rent  Commencement  Date
shall  occur  in the  month  immediately  following  acceptance  of the
Equipment on the rent payment due date established with Lessee for said
previous active lease. Lessor is authorized to fill in on any Equipment
Schedule  hereunder the Rent  Commencement  Date in accordance with the
foregoing.

7.       TERMINATION  BY  LESSOR.  If,  by the  Approval  Expiration  Date,  the
Equipment described in any Equipment Schedule has not been delivered to
Lessee and accepted by Lessee as provided in Paragraph 6 hereof,  or if
other  conditions of Lessor's  Approval  Letter,  if any, have not been
met,  then  Lessor may,  at its  option,  terminate  this Lease and its
obligations  hereunder with respect to such  Equipment  Schedule at any
time  after  the  expiration  of such 90 days  or any  date  after  the
Approval  Expiration  Date,  as  applicable.  Lessor  shall give Lessee
written  notice whether or not it elects to exercise such option within
10 days after  Lessor's  receipt of Lessee's  written  request for such
notice.

Lease shall begin on the Rent Commencement Date, and shall terminate on
the later of (i) the last day of the last month of the Initial Term (as

(ii) the date Lessee fulfills all Lessee's obligations hereunder.

9.       RENTAL. The rental amount payable to Lessor by Lessee for the Equipment
will be set forth in the Equipment Schedule(s) ("Rental Amount). As the
first  rent  payment  for the  Equipment,  Lessee  shall pay  Lessor in
immediately  available funds on the Rent  Commencement Date the sum of,
(i) the Rental  Amount,  and (ii)  Interim  Rent in an amount  equal to
1/3Oth of the Rental Amount times the number of days from and including
the Acceptance Date through but excluding the Rent  Commencement  Date,
and  subsequent  rent  payments  shall  be due on the  same day of each
calendar period as indicated on the Equipment  Schedule for the balance
of the Initial Term.  Rent payments  shall be due whether or not Lessee
has received any notice that such  payments are due. All rent  payments
shall be paid to Lessor at its address set forth above or as  otherwise
directed by Lessor in writing.

10.      RENEWAL If no default  shall have  occurred and be  continuing,  Lessee
shall be entitled to renew this Lease with respect to all, but not less
than all,  of the  Equipment  covered by an  Equipment  Schedule  for a
minimum 12 month  period at an amount  equal to the fair market  rental
value thereof,  in use and  operational,  in the condition  required by
this Lease,  payable on a periodic  basis, as mutually agreed by Lessor
and Lessee ("Renewal  Rent).  Lessee must give Lessor written notice of
its intention to exercise said option, which notice must be received by
Lessor at least 90 days  before  expiration  of the Initial  Term.  The
first installment of the Renewal Rent shall be due at expiration of the
Initial  Term of this  Lease.  Should  Lessee  fail to comply  with the
provisions  described  above covering  renewal,  upon expiration of the
Initial Term,  the term of this Lease shall be  automatically  extended
for a term of 3  months.  Thereafter,  the term of this  Lease  will be
extended for subsequent full month periods,  on a month to month basis,
until Lessee has given at least 90 days written notice terminating this
Lease.  Such  termination  will  take  effect  upon  completion  of all
Lessee's  obligations  under  this  Lease  (including  payment  of  all
periodic rental payments due during such 90 day period,  as provided in
Paragraph 9 of this  Lease).  At any time after the  expiration  of the
Initial  Term,  if this Lease has been  automatically  extended  as set
forth herein,  Lessor  reserves the right to terminate this Lease by 30
days written notice to Lessee.

11.      LOCATION;  INSPECTION;  LABELS. The Equipment shall be delivered to and
shall not be removed  without  Lessor's prior written  consent from the
"Equipment  Location" shown on the related  Equipment  Schedule,  or if
none is specified,  Lessee's billing address shown above.  Lessor shall
have the right to inspect the  Equipment  at any  reasonable  time.  If
Lessor  supplies Lessee with labels stating that the Equipment is owned
by  Lessor,  Lessee  shall  affix  such  labels  to and keep  them in a
prominent place on the Equipment.

12.      REPAIRS; USE; ALTERATIONS.  Lessee, at its own cost and expense,  shall
keep the  Equipment  in good  repair  and  working  order,  in the same
condition  as when  delivered  to  Lessee,  reasonable  wear  and  tear
excepted,  and  in  accordance  with  the  manufacturer's   recommended
specifications;  shall use the Equipment lawfully;  shall not alter the
Equipment  without  Lessor's  prior  written  consent,  shall  use  the
Equipment in compliance  with any existing  Manufacturer's  service and
warranty  requirements  and any  insurance  policies  applicable to the
Equipment and shall furnish all parts and servicing  required therefor.
All parts, repairs, additions, alterations and attachments placed on or
incorporated  into the Equipment which cannot be removed without damage
to the  Equipment  shall  immediately  become part of the Equipment and
shall be the  property of the Lessor.  Lessee will obtain and  maintain
all permits,  licenses and registrations  necessary to lawfully operate
the facility  where the Equipment is located.  Lessee shall comply with
all applicable  environ- mental and industrial  hygiene laws, rules and
regulations  (including  but not limited to federal,  state,  and local
environmental  protection,  occupational,  health and safety or similar
laws, ordinances and restrictions). Lessee shall, not later than 5 days
after the occurrence, provide Lessor with copies of any report required
to be filed with governmental agencies regulating environmental claims.
Lessee  shall  immediately  notify  Lessor in writing of any  existing,
pending or threatened  investigation,  inquiry,  claim or action by any
governmental  authority in connection  with any law, rule or regulation
relating to industrial  hygiene or environmental  conditions that could
affect the Equipment.

13.      MAINTENANCE.  If the  Equipment  is such that  Lessee  is not  normally
capable of maintaining it, Lessee, at its expense, shall enter into and
maintain in full force and effect  throughout  the Initial Term and any
renewal  term,  Vendor  and/or   Manufacturer's   standard  maintenance
contract,  and shall  comply with all its  obligations  thereunder.  An
alternate source of maintenance may be used with Lessor's prior written
consent.  Such  consent  shall be granted  if, in  Lessor's  reasonable
opinion,  the Equipment  will be  maintained in an equivalent  state of
good repair, condition and working order.

14.      SURRENDER.  Provided that Lessee does not exercise the purchase  option
as set forth in Paragraph 27 hereof, upon the expiration of the Initial
Term,  or any renewal  term,  or upon demand by Lessor made pursuant to
Paragraph 21 of this Lease,  Lessee, at its expense,  shall return all,
but not less than all, of the  Equipment by delivering it to such place
or on board such carrier,  packed for shipping,  as Lessor may specify.
Lessee agrees that the Equipment,  when returned,  shall be in the same
condition  as when  delivered  to  Lessee,  reasonable  wear  and  tear
excepted,  and in a condition  which will permit  Lessor to be eligible
for Manufacturer's  standard maintenance contract without incurring any
expense  to repair or  rehabilitate  such  Equipment.  Lessee  shall be
liable for reasonable and necessary  expenses to place the Equipment in
such  condition.  Lessee shall remain  liable for the  condition of the
Equipment  until  it  is  received  and  accepted  at  the  destination
designated by Lessor as set forth above.  If any items of Equipment are
missing or damaged when returned,  such occurrence  shall be treated as
an event of Loss or Damage  with  respect  to such  missing  or damaged
items and shall be  subject  to the terms  specified  in  Paragraph  15
below.  Lessee shall  provide  Lessor with a Letter of  Maintainability
from the  Manufacturer of the Equipment,  which letter shall state that
the  Equipment  will  be  eligible  for  the  Manufacturer's   standard
maintenance contract when sold or leased to a third party. Lessee shall
give Lessor prior written  notice that it is returning the Equipment as
provided above,  and such notice must be received by Lessor at least 90
days  prior to such  return.  Should  Lessee  fail to  comply  with the
provisions  described above covering surrender,  upon expiration of the
Initial Term,  the term of this Lease shall be  automatically  extended
for a term of 3  months.  Thereafter,  the term of this  Lease  will be
extended for subsequent full month periods,  on a month to month basis,
until Lessee has given at least 90 days written notice terminating this
Lease.  Such  termination  will  take  effect  upon  completion  of all
Lessee's  obligations  under  this  Lease  (including  payment  of  all
periodic rental payments due during such 90 day period,  as provided in
Paragraph 9 of this  Lease).  At any time after the  expiration  of the
Initial  Term,  if this Lease has been  automatically  extended  as set
forth herein.  Lessor  reserves the right to terminate this Lease by 30
days written notice to Lessee.

15.      LOSS OR  DAMAGE.  Lessee  shall bear the  entire  risk of loss,  theft,
destruction  of or damage to the Equipment or any item thereof  (herein
"Loss or Damage")  from any cause  whatsoever.  No Loss or Damage shall
relieve Lessee of the obligation to pay rent or of any other obligation
under this Lease. In the event of Loss or Damage, Lessee, at the option
of Lessor;  shall: (a) place the same in good condition and repair; (b)
replace  the same  with  like  equipment  acceptable  to Lessor in good
condition and repair with clear title thereto in Lessor;  or (c) pay to
Lessor the total of the following amounts: (i) the total rent and other
amounts due and owing at the time of such payment,  plus (ii) an amount
calculated  by Lessor which is the present value at 5% per annum simple
interest  discount of all rent and other amounts payable by Lessee with
respect to said item from date of such payment to date of expiration of
its Initial Term, plus (iii) the "reversionary value" of the Equipment,
which shall be  determined by Lessor as the total cost of the Equipment
less 60% of the total rent (net of sales/use taxes, if any) required to
be paid pursuant to Paragraph 9. Upon Lessor's receipt of such payment,
Lessee and/or Lessee's  insurer shall be entitled to Lessor's  interest
in said item, for salvage purposes, in its then condition and location,
"as-is ", without any warranty, express or implied.

16.      INSURANCE.  Lessee  shall  provide,  maintain  and pay for (a) all risk
property  insurance  against  the  loss or theft  of or  damage  to the
Equipment,  for the full replacement value thereof,  naming Lessor as a
loss payee,  and (b)  commercial  general  liability  insurance (and if
Lessee is a doctor;  hospital or other  health care  provider,  medical
malpractice  insurance).  All such  policies  shall  name  Lessor as an
additional  insured and shall have  combined  single  limits in amounts
acceptable to Lessor.  All such insurance policies shall be endorsed to
be primary and  non-contributory  to any policies maintained by Lessor.
In  addition  Lessee  shall cause  Lessor to be named as an  additional
insured on any excess or umbrella policies  purchased by Lessee. A copy
of  each  paid-up  policy  evidencing  such  insurance   (appropriately
authenticated by the insurer) or a certificate of the insurer providing
such coverage  proving that such  policies have been issued,  providing
the coverage  required  hereunder shall be delivered to Lessor prior to
the  Rent  Commencement  Date.  All  insurance  shall  be  placed  with
companies  satisfactory  to Lessor  and  shall  contain  the  insurer's
agreement to give 30 days written notice to Lessor before  cancellation
or any material change of any policy of insurance.

17.      TAXES.  Lessee shall  reimburse to Lessor (or pay directly if, but only
if,  instructed  by Lessor)  all charges  and taxes  (local,  State and
federal) which may now or hereafter be imposed or levied upon the sale,
purchase,  ownership,  leasing,  possession  or use  of the  Equipment;
excluding,  however; all income taxes levied on (a) any rental payments
made to Lessor hereunder;  (b) any payment made to Lessor in connection
with Loss or Damage to the Equipment under Paragraph 15 hereof,  or (c)
any payment made to Lessor in connection with Lessee's  exercise of its
purchase option under Paragraph 27 hereof.

18.      LESSOR'S  PAYMENT.   If  Lessee  fails  to  provide  or  maintain  said
insurance,  to pay said taxes,  charges and fees,  or to discharge  any
levies, liens and encumbrances created by Lessee, Lessor shall have the
right, but shall not be obligated,  to obtain such insurance,  pay such
taxes,  charges  and fees,  or effect  such  discharge.  In that event,
Lessee  shall  remit to  Lessor  the cost  thereof  with the next  rent
payment.

19.      INDEMNITY. (a) General Indemnity. Lessee shall indemnify Lessor against
and hold Lessor  harmless  from any and all claims,  actions,  damages,
costs,  expenses  including  reasonable  attorneys' fees,  obligations,
liabilities  and  liens  (including  any of the  foregoing  arising  or
imposed  under  the   doctrines  of  "strict   liability"  or  "product
liability"  and  including  without  limitation  the cost of any fines,
remedial action, damage to the environment and cleanup and the fees and
costs of  consultants  and  experts),  arising out of the  manufacture,
purchase, lease, ownership, possession, operation, condition, return or
use of the Equipment, or by operation of law, excluding however, any of
the foregoing resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct
of Lessor.  Lessee  agrees  that upon  written  notice by Lessor of the
assertion of such a claim,  action,  damage,  obligation,  liability or
lien, Lessee shall assume full  responsibility for the defense thereof.
Lessee's choice of counsel shall be mutually  acceptable to both Lessee
and Lessor.  This  indemnity also extends to any  environmental  claims
arising  out of or  relating  to prior acts or  omissions  of any party
whatsoever.  The provisions of this paragraph shall survive termination
of  this  Lease  with  respect  to  events   occurring  prior  to  such
termination.

(b)      Tax  Indemnity.  Lessee  acknowledges  that  Lessor  shall  be
entitled to all tax benefits of ownership  with respect to the
Equipment (the "Tax Benefits"),  including but not limited to,
(i) the  accelerated  cost recovery  deductions  determined in
accordance with Section 168(b)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986 for the  Equipment  based on the original  cost of the
Equipment  to  Lessor  (ii)  deductions  for  interest  on any
indebtedness  incurred by Lessor to finance the  Equipment and
(iii)  sourcing  of income  and  losses  attributable  to this
Lease,  to the  United  States.  Lessee  represents  that  the
Equipment  shall  be  depreciable  for  Federal  tax  purposes
utilizing  the  MACRS  Recovery  Period  as set  forth  in the
Equipment  Schedule,  with such depreciation  commencing as of
the date of Equipment acceptance by Lessee as set forth on the
Certificate  of  Acceptance.  Lessee  agrees to take no action
inconsistent  with the  foregoing  or any action  which  would
result in the loss,  disallowance or  unavailability to Lessor
of  all  or  any  part  of the  Tax  Benefits.  Lessee  hereby
indemnifies and holds harmless Lessor and its assigns from and
against  (i)  the  loss,   disallowance,   unavailability   or
recapture  of all or any  part of the Tax  Benefits  resulting
from any  action,  statement,  misrepresentation  or breach of
warranty  or  covenant  by  Lessee  of any  nature  whatsoever
including   but   not   limited   to   the   breach   of   any
representations,  warranties  or  covenants  contained in this
paragraph,  plus  (ii)  all  interest,   penalties,  fines  or
additions  to tax  resulting  from  such  loss,  disallowance,
unavailability or recapture,  plus (iii) all taxes required to
be paid by Lessor upon receipt of the  indemnity  set forth in
this  paragraph.  Any  payments  made by Lessee  to  reimburse
Lessor for lost Tax Benefits  shall be  calculated  (i) on the
assumption  that  Lessor is  subject  to the  maximum  Federal
Corporate  Income  Tax with  respect to each year and that all
Tax Benefits are currently  utilized,  and (ii) without regard
to whether  Lessor or any members of a  consolidated  group of
which  Lessor is also a member is then subject to any increase
in tax as a  result  of the  loss  of Tax  Benefits.  For  the
purposes  of this  paragraph,  "Lessor"  includes  for all tax
purposes the consolidated  taxpayer group of which Lessor is a
part.

(c)      Payment.  The amounts  payable  pursuant to this  Paragraph 19
shall be  payable  upon  demand of  Lessor,  accompanied  by a
statement  describing in reasonable detail such claim, action,
damage, cost, expense, fee, obligation, liability, lien or tax
and setting  forth the  computation  of the amount so payable,
which computation shall be binding and conclusive upon Lessee,
absent  manifest  error.  The  indemnities  and assumptions of
liabilities  and  obligations  contained in this  Paragraph 19
shall  continue in full force and effect  notwithstanding  the
expiration or other termination of this Lease.

20.      DELINQUENT PAYMENTS.  (a) Service Charge. Since it would be impractical
or extremely  difficult to fix Lessor's  actual  damages for collecting
and  accounting for a late payment,  if any payment to Lessor  required
herein (including,  but not limited to, rental,  renewal, tax, purchase
and other amounts) is not paid on or before its due date,  Lessee shall
pay to  Lessor  an amount  equal to 5% of any such  late  payment.  (b)
Interest.  Lessee shall also pay interest on any such late payment from
the due date  thereof  until the date paid at the  littlest  of 18% per
annum or the maximum rate allowed by law.

21.      DEFAULT;  REMEDIES.  Any of the following shall constitute an "Event of
Default" under this Lease: If (a) Lessee fails to pay when due any rent
or  other  amount  required  herein  to be  paid  by  Lessee  and  such
non-payment  continues  for more than seven days after  notice  thereof
from  Lessor,  or (b) Lessee  makes an  assignment  for the  benefit of
creditors, whether voluntary or involuntary, or (c) a petition is filed
by or  against  Lessee  under any  bankruptcy,  insolvency  or  similar
legislation,  or (d) Lessee  violates or fails to perform any provision
of either this Lease or any Acquisition Agreement, or violates or fails
to perform any covenant or  representation  made by Lessee herein,  and
fails to correct the same within seven days after  notice  thereof from
Lessor, or (e) Lessee makes a bulk transfer of furniture,  furnishings,
fixtures or other  equipment or  inventory,  or (f) Lessee ceases doing
business as a going concern or terminates its existence,  or (g) Lessee
consolidates  with,  merges  with or into,  or conveys or leases all or
substantially all of its assets as an entirety to any person or engages
in any other form of reorganization,  or there is a change in the legal
structure  of Lessee,  in each case it  results,  in the opinion of the
Lessor, in a material adverse change in Lessee's ability to perform its
obligations  under this Lease,  or (h) any  representation  or warranty
made by Lessee  in this  Lease or in any other  document  or  agreement
furnished  by  Lessee  to  Lessor  shall  prove to have  been  false or
misleading  in any  material  respect  when made or when deemed to have
been  made,  or (i)  Lessee  shall be in  default  under  any  material
obligation for the payment of borrowed  money or the deferred  purchase
price of, or for the payment of any rent due with  respect to, any real
or personal  property  and such default  continues  for more than seven
days after  notice  thereof  from  Lessor,  or (j)  Lessee  shall be in
default under any other  agreement now existing or hereafter  made with
Lessor or any of Lessor's  affiliates  and such default  continues  for
more than seven days after notice thereof from Lessor, or (k) any event
or condition  described in the  foregoing  clauses (b),  (c), (e), (f),
(g), (h) (in clauses (g) and (h)  substituting  the phrase "guaranty or
other credit support document" for the word "Lease"),  (i) or (j) shall
have  occurred  with respect to any guarantor of, or other party liable
in  whole  or in part  for,  Lessee's  obligations  hereunder,  or such
guarantor  or other party shall have  defaulted  in the  observance  or
performance  of any covenant,  condition or agreement to be observed or
performed  by it under the guaranty or other  credit  support  document
pursuant to which it is liable for Lessee's obligations  hereunder,  or
such guaranty or other credit support  document shall have been revoked
or terminated or shall have otherwise ceased,  for any reason, to be in
full  force  and  effect.  An  Event of  Default  with  respect  to any
Equipment  Schedule  shall  constitute  an  Event  of  Default  for all
Equipment  Schedules.  Lessee  shall  promptly  notify  Lessor  of  the
occurrence of any Event of Default upon  Lessee's  receipt of notice or
knowledge thereof (other than pursuant to Lessor's notice).

If an Event of Default occurs,  Lessor shall have the right to
exercise any one or more of the following  remedies in order to protect
the interests and reasonably  expected  profits and bargains of Lessor:
(a) Lessor may terminate  this Lease with respect to all or any part of
the  Equipment,  (b) Lessor may recover  from Lessee all rent and other
amounts then due and as they shall thereafter become due hereunder, (c)
Lessor may take  possession of any or all items of Equipment,  wherever
the same may be located,  without  demand or notice,  without any court
order or other  process of law and without  liability to Lessee for any
damages occasioned by such taking of possession, and any such taking of
possession shall not constitute a termination of this Lease, (d) Lessor
may  recover  from  Lessee,  with  respect  to any  and  all  items  of
Equipment,  and with or without  repossessing  the Equipment the sum of
(1) the  total  amount  due and  owing  to  Lessor  at the item of such
default,  plus (2) an amount  calculated by Lessor which is the present
value at 5% per annum  simple  interest  discount of all rent and other
amounts  payable by Lessee with  respect to said  item(s)  form date of
such payment to date of expiration  of its Initial  Term,  plus (3) the
"reversionary  value" of the  Equipment,  which shall be  determined by
Lessor as the total  cost of the  Equipment  less 60% of the total rent
(net of  sales/use  taxes,  if any)  required  to be paid  pursuant  to
Paragraph 9, and which the parties  agree is a  reasonable  estimate of
such value;  and upon the payment of all amounts  described  in clauses
(1), (2) and (3) above, Lessee will become entitled to the Equipment AS
IS, WHERE IS, without warranty whatsoever;  provided,  however, that if
the Lessor shall sell, lease or otherwise dispose of the Equipment in a
commercially reasonable manner, with or without notice and on public or
private bid, and apply the net proceeds  thereof  (after  deducting all
expenses,  including attorneys' fees incurred in connection therewith),
to the sum of (1),  (2) and (3)  above,  and e) Lessor  may  pursue any
other remedy  available at law or in equity,  including but not limited

injunction.

is exclusive of any right or remedy herein or by law or equity provided
or  permitted;  but each shall be  cumulative  of every  other right or
remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity
or by statue or otherwise,  and may be enforced concurrently  therewith
or from time to time,  but Lessor  shall not be  entitled  to recover a
greater  amount in damages  than Lessor could have gained by receipt of
the  of  Lessee's  full,   timely  and  complete   performance  of  its
obligations pursuant to the terms of this Lease plus accrued delinquent
payments under Paragraph 21.

22.      LESSOR'S  EXPENSE.  Lessee  shall pay  Lessor  all costs and  expenses,
including attorney's fees and the fees of collection agencies, incurred
by Lessor in  enforcing  any of the terms,  conditions,  or  provisions
hereof or in protecting  Lessor's  rights herein.  Lessee's  obligation
hereunder  includes all such costs and expenses  experienced  by Lessor
(a) prior to  filing of an  action,  (b) in  connection  with an action
which  is  dismissed,  and  (c) in  the  enforcement  of any  judgment.
Lessee's  obligation  to  pay  Lessor's  attorney's  fees  incurred  in
enforcing any judgment is a separate  obligation  of Lessee,  severable
from  Lessee's  other  obligations  hereunder,  which  obligation  will
survive  such  judgment and will not be deemed to have been merged into
such judgment.

23.      OWNERSHIP;  PERSONAL PROPERTY.  The Equipment shall at all times remain
the  property  of Lessor  and  Lessee  shall  have no  right,  title or
interest therein or thereto except as expressly set forth in this Lease

Lessee or with Lessee for purposes of this Lease.

26.      UPGRADES.  Any existing  lease between  Lessor and Lessee subject to an
"upgrade"  program shall continue in full force and effect and shall be
kept free of default by Lessee  (even if the  Equipment  covered by the

Lessee shall be entitled,  at its option upon written notice to Lessor,
which  notice  must be received by Lessor at least 90 days prior to the
end of either the  Initial  Term or any renewal  term of any  Equipment
Schedule,  to purchase  all,  but not less than all,  of the  Equipment
covered  by  such  Equipment  Schedule  from  Lessor  at the end of the
Initial  Term or any  renewal  term for such  Equipment  Schedule  at a
purchase  price equal to the then fair market value of the Equipment in
use and  operational,  in the  condition  required  by this  Lease,  as
mutually agreed by Lessor and Lessee.  On a date which is no later than
the  expiration  date of the  Initial  Term  or any  renewal  term,  as
applicable,  Lessee  shall pay to  Lessor  the  purchase  price for the
Equipment  covered by such  Equipment  Schedule  (plus any taxes levied
thereon) and Lessor shall sell the Equipment "as-is  where-is"  without
any warranties express or implied.

28.      RELATED EQUIPMENT  SCHEDULES.  In the event that any Equipment Schedule
hereunder shall include  Equipment that may become attached to, affixed
to,  or  used  in  connection  with  Equipment  covered  under  another
Equipment Schedule hereunder  ("Related  Equipment  Schedule"),  Lessee
acknowledges the following: (a) if Lessee elects to exercise a purchase
option or renewal option under any Equipment Schedule,  if provided; or
(b) if Lessee  elects  to  return  the  Equipment  under any  Equipment
Schedule as described in Paragraph 14, then Lessor,  at its discretion,
may require the similar  disposition of all Related Equipment Schedules
as provided for by this Lease.

29.      EQUIPMENT  SCHEDULES.  An executed Equipment Schedule that incorporates
by  reference  the  terms  of  this  Master  Lease  Agreement,   marked
"Original,"  shall be the  original  of this  Lease  for the  Equipment
described therein for all purposes.  All other executed counterparts of
this Lease  shall be marked  "Duplicate."  Unless  specified  otherwise
therein,  in the event any written rider or other agreement is attached
to and made a part of an Equipment  Schedule,  the terms and conditions
of said written  agreement shall apply only to said Equipment  Schedule
and shall not apply to any other Equipment Schedule made a part of this
Lease.  In the event Lessee issues a purchase order to Lessor  covering
Equipment to be leased hereunder, it is agreed that such purchase order
is issued for purposes of authorization and Lessee's internal use only,
and.  none of its  terms  and  conditions  shall  modify  the terms and
conditions  of this  Lease  and/or  related  documentation,  or  affect
Lessor's  responsibility  to Lessee as  defined in this  Lease.  To the
extent this Lease constitutes chattel paper, as such term is defined in
the Uniform Commercial Code of the applicable jurisdiction, no security
interest  in  this  Lease  may  be  created  through  the  transfer  of
possession of any counterpart other than the Original of this Lease.

30.      GENERAL  REPRESENTATIONS  OF THE  PARTIES.  Each party  represents  and
warrants to the other party that, as of the date hereof, as of the date
of the execution of each Equipment  Schedule and as of the date of each
extension,  modification  or amendment of this Lease and each Equipment
Schedule,  and  covenants  and agrees  with the other party that for so
long as any Equipment is leased pursuant hereto:  (a) such party is and

(and any Equipment  Schedule  entered into  pursuant  hereto) or in the
introduction  thereto, or as otherwise set forth in a written notice to
the  other  party;  (b) such  party  has and will  maintain  the  legal
capacity,  power,  authority  and  unrestricted  right to  execute  and
deliver this Lease (and any  Equipment  Schedule  entered into pursuant
hereto)  and to  perform  all of its  obligations  hereunder;  (c)  the
execution  and delivery by such party of this Lease (and any  Equipment
Schedule  entered into  pursuant  hereto) and the  performance  by such
party of all of its  obligations  hereunder  will not  violate or be in
conflict with any term or provision of (i) any applicable law, (ii) any
judgment,  order, writ,  injunction,  decree or consent of any court or
other judicial authority  applicable to such party or any material part
of such party's assets and properties,  (iii) any of the organizational
or governing  documents of such party, or (iv) any material  agreement,
document or obligation to which it is a party,  and such party will not
adopt any such  conflicting  organizational  or  governing  document or
enter into any such conflicting agreement,  document or obligation; (d)
no consent, approval or authorization of, or registration,  declaration
or filing with, any governmental  authority or other person  (including
any equity  holder of any party) is required as a condition  precedent,
concurrent or  subsequent  to or in  connection  with the due and valid
execution,  delivery and  performance  by such party of this Lease (and
any Equipment  Schedule  entered into pursuant hereto) or the legality,
validity,  binding  effect  or  enforceability  of any of the terms and
provisions  of this  Lease (and any  Equipment  Schedule  entered  into
pursuant  hereto);  (d) this Lease (and any Equipment  Schedule entered
into pursuant hereto) is a legal,  valid and binding obligation of such
party,   enforceable  against  such  party  in  accordance  with  their
respective terms and provisions;  and (e) each party has  independently
and fully reviewed and evaluated this Lease (and any Equipment Schedule
entered  into  pursuant   hereto)  and  all  related   documents,   the
contemplated  obligations and transactions and the potential effects of
such obligations and transactions on the assets,  business,  cash flow,
expenses,  income,  liabilities,   operations,  properties,  prospects,
reputation,  taxation or condition  (financial  or  otherwise)  of such
party and its affiliates, which review and evaluation was made together
with the officers,  directors and other  representatives of such party,
its legal  counsel  and (to the extent  deemed  prudent by such  party)
other legal counsel and financial and other advisors to such party, and
such party hereby absolutely,  unconditionally,  irrevocably, expressly
and forever  assumes any and all attendant risks and waives any and all
rights, claims, defenses or objections with respect thereto

31.      LESSEE'S  REPRESENTATIONS.  Lessee  represents  and  warrants to Lessor
that,  as of the date hereof,  as of the date of the  execution of each
Equipment  Schedule and as of the date of each extension,  modification
or amendment of this Lease and each Equipment  Schedule,  and covenants
and agrees with the Lessor that for so long as any  Equipment is leased
pursuant  hereto:  (a) the  Equipment  is being  leased  hereunder  for
business purposes and is not being and will not be used for any illicit
or illegal business or scheme;  (b) the financial  information (if any)
respecting Lessee furnished to Lessor is complete,  accurate and fairly
presents  the  financial  condition  of the  Customer;  (d) the credit,
financial and other  information  furnished or to be furnished by or on
behalf of Lessee  to Lessor is true and  correct  and does not and will
not  contain  a  misstatement  of a  material  fact or omit to  state a
material fact required to be stated therein in order to make it, in the
light of the  circumstances  under which made, not misleading;  and (f)
there does not exist any  pending or  threatened  action or  proceeding
before  any  court or  administrative  agency  which  might  materially
adversely affect Lessee's financial condition or operations

32.      FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. Lessee agrees to furnish to Lessor (i) as soon as
available,  and in any event within 120 days after the last day of each
fiscal year of Lessee, a copy of the financial  statements of Lessee as
of the end of such fiscal year,  certified by an independent  certified
public  accounting  firm:  (ii) as soon as available,  and in any event
within 60 days after the last day of each  quarter of  Lessee's  fiscal
year,  a  copy  of  quarterly  financial  statements  certified  by the
principal  financial  officer  of  Lessee;  and (iii)  such  additional
information concerning Lessee as Lessor may reasonably request.

33.      GOOD FAITH DEPOSIT  REQUIREMENT.  Lessee  agrees,  with respect to each
transaction,  to pay the  Good  Faith  Deposit  specified  in  Lessor's
proposal for such  transaction  or in the  Equipment  Schedule  related
thereto. This Good Faith Deposit is given in consideration for Lessor's
costs and expenses in investigating and appraising and/or  establishing
credit for Lessee. This Good Faith Deposit shall not be refunded unless
Lessor declines to accept Lessee's offer to enter into this Lease. Upon
Lessor's  acceptance of Lessee's offer to enter into this Lease, unless
otherwise specified in the proposal or Equipment  Schedule,  the amount
shall  be  applied  to  the  first   period's  rent   payment.   Lessee
acknowledges  that  Lessor's act of  depositing  any Good Faith Deposit
into  Lessor's  bank account  shall not in itself  constitute  Lessor's
acceptance of Lessee's offer to enter into this Lease.

34.      INTERPRETATION,  SEVERABILITY,  ETC. The parties  acknowledge and agree
that the terms and provisions of this Lease and the Equipment Schedules
have been  negotiated,  shall be  construed  fairly  as to all  parties
hereto,  and shall not be  construed  in favor of or against any party.
The term  "including"  shall  mean  "including  (without  limitation)",
whether or not so stated.  The terms "including",  "including,  but not
limited to", "including  (without  limitation)" and similar phrases (i)
mean that the items specifically listed after such term are examples of
the  provision  preceding  such  term  and are not  intended  to be all
inclusive,  (ii) shall not in any way limit (or be deemed or  construed
to limit) the  generality of the  provision  preceding  such term,  and
(iii)  shall not in any way  preclude  (or be deemed  or  construed  to
preclude)  any  other   applicable  item  encompassed  by  the  general
provision  preceding such term. In the event that any term or provision
of this Lease or any Equipment  Schedule shall be finally determined to
be superseded,  invalid, illegal or otherwise unenforceable pursuant to
applicable  law by an authority  having  jurisdiction  and venue,  that
determination  shall  not  impair or  otherwise  affect  the  validity,
legality  or  enforceability  (a) by or before  that  authority  of the
remaining  terms  and  provisions  of  this  Lease  and  the  Equipment
Schedules,  which  shall be enforced  as if the  unenforceable  term or
provision  were deleted or reduced  pursuant to the next  sentence,  as
applicable, or (b) by or before any other authority of any of the terms
and provisions of this Lease and the Equipment  Schedules.  If any term
or  provision  of this Lease or any  Equipment  Schedule  is held to be
unenforceable  because of the scope or duration of any such  provision,
the parties agree that any court making such  determination  shall have
the power, and is hereby requested,  to reduce the scope or duration of
such term or provision to the maximum  permissible under applicable law
so that said term or  provision  shall be  enforceable  in such reduced
form.

35.      MISCELLANEOUS.  Lessor reserves the right to charge Lessee fees for its
provision of additional  administrative  services related to this Lease
requested by Lessee.  Lessee shall provide  Lessor with such  corporate
resolutions,  opinions  of  counsel,  financial  statements,  and other
documents  (including  documents for filing or recording) as Lessor may
request  from  time to  time.  LESSEE  HEREBY  APPOINTS  LESSOR  OR ITS
ASSIGNEE  ITS TRUE AND LAWFUL  ATTORNEY IN FACT TO EXECUTE ON BEHALF OF
LESSEE  ALL  UNIFORM  COMMERCIAL  CODE  FINANCING  STATEMENTS  OR OTHER
DOCUMENTS  WHICH,  IN LESSOR'S  DETERMINATION,  ARE NECESSARY TO SECURE
LESSOR'S  INTEREST  IN SAID  EQUIPMENT.  The  filing  of UCC  Financing
Statements is  precautionary  and shall not be evidence that this Lease
is intended as security. If for any reason this agreement is determined
not to be a lease,  Lessee hereby grants Lessor a security  interest in
this Lease,  the  Equipment or  collateral  pertaining  thereto and the
proceeds  thereof,  including  release,  sale  or  disposition  of  the
Equipment or other collateral. If more than one Lessee is named in this
Lease, the liability of each shall be joint and several. Time is of the
essence with respect to this Lease.

36.      FORCE  MAJEURE.  Notwithstanding  any other term or  provision  of this
Lease (and any Equipment  Schedule  entered into pursuant  hereto),  no
party shall be responsible for or be in breach of or default under this
Lease (and any Equipment Schedule entered into pursuant hereto) for any
performance  delay or failure that is the result of any and all acts of
God and other acts, events,  circumstances,  impediments or occurrences
beyond the  control of the  delayed  person  (each a "Force  Majeure"),
including (without limitation) any (i) accident or mishap not caused by
the delayed person, (ii) assault,  attack, battle,  blockade,  bombing,
embargo,  police  action,  siege  or  other  act of  defense,  offense,
terrorism  or war  (whether  or not  declared),  in each  case  whether
civilian,  militia,  military  or  otherwise  and  whether  domestic or
foreign,  (iii)  governmental  regulation  or  decree  or other  act or
failure to act of any governmental  authority or other regulatory body,
in each case whether civil,  military or otherwise and whether domestic
or foreign, (iv) earthquake, explosion, fire, flood, hurricane or other
natural or man-made calamity or disaster,  (v) epidemic,  environmental
contamination or other natural or man-made pestilence or toxic exposure
(whether  biological,  chemical,  radiological  or  otherwise),  or any
quarantine or other  restriction  arising  therefrom,  (vi) failure of,
interruption  in  or  impairment  of  any  delivery,   internet,  mail,
monetary,  power,  

telecommunication,  transmission,  transportation  or utility system or
any other  service,  product or equipment  provided or  maintained by a
third party,  (vii)  lockout,  strike or similar  labor  interruptions,
(viii) insurrection,  riot or other civil disturbance,  (ix) hacking or
other   unauthorized   access,   spamming,   virus,   trojan  or  other
unauthorized  program, or other computer or technological  tampering or
attack,  or (x) sabotage or other criminal or intentionally  disruptive
third party act, in each case together  with any and all  consequential
disruptions,  delays,  effects or other  acts,  events,  circumstances,
impediments  or  occurrences  and  irrespective  of  how  localized  or
widespread.  Upon prompt notice to the other party,  the party affected
by any Force Majeure shall be excused from performance hereunder to the
extent and for so long as its  performance  hereunder  is  prevented or
restricted  by a Force  Majeure (and the other party shall  likewise be
excused from performance of its obligations  hereunder relating to such
delayed  or  failed  performance  to the same  extent  and for the same
duration);  provided  that the party so affected  shall use  reasonable
efforts  (without  increased  cost) to avoid,  mitigate  or remove such
Force  Majeure  and to  minimize  the  consequences  thereof,  and both
parties shall resume  performance  hereunder  with the utmost  dispatch
whenever such non-performance causes are removed.

37.      NO WAIVER BY ACTION,  ETC. Any failure of the Lessor to require  strict
performance  by the  Lessee or any  waiver  by Lessor of any  provision
herein  shall  not be  construed  as a  consent  or waiver of any other
breach of the same or of any other  provision.  Any  waiver or  consent
from either party respecting any provision of this Lease or any related
document  shall be effective  only in the  specific  instance for which
given and shall not be deemed,  regardless of frequency  given, to be a
further or  continuing  waiver or consent.  The failure or delay of any
party at any time to require  performance of, or to exercise or enforce
its rights or remedies  with  respect to, any  provision  of this Lease
shall not affect  such  party's  right at a later time to  exercise  or
enforce any such  provision.  No notice to or demand on any party shall
entitle  such  party to any other  notice or demand in similar or other
circumstances.  Any  acceptance  by or on  behalf of a party of (A) any
partial  or  late  payment,  reimbursement  or  performance  shall  not
constitute a satisfaction  or waiver of the obligation  then due or the
resulting default, or (B) any payment,  reimbursement or performance of
any  obligation  during  the  continuance  of  any  default  shall  not
constitute a waiver or cure thereof,  and the party or its designee may
accept or reject any such payment, reimbursement or performance without
affecting  any  obligation  or  any  of  the  party's  rights,  powers,
privileges,  remedies and other interests under this Lease, any related
document or applicable law. All rights,  powers,  privileges,  remedies
and other  interests of each party  hereunder  are  cumulative  and not
alternatives,  and they are in  addition  to (and  shall not limit) any
other right, power,  privilege,  remedy or other interest of such party
under this Lease, any related document or applicable law.

38.      SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS; ASSIGNMENT; INTENDED BENEFICIARIES.  This Lease
and each  related  document  shall  be  binding  upon and  inure to the
benefit of the successors,  permitted assigns and legal representatives
of  each  party  (including,   without  limitation,   any  assignee  of
substantially  all of the  business  or  assets  of  any  party  or any
successor  by  merger).  Neither  party may assign any of its rights or
obligations  under  this  Lease or any  related  document  to any other
person without the consent of the other party; provided,  however, that
either party may assign its rights and  obligations  hereunder in whole
or in part to any of its affiliates  (without,  however,  relieving the
assignor of any of its obligations hereunder) by giving the other party
a copy of such  assignment.  Without  limiting  the  generality  of the
foregoing,  Lessee  acknowledges and agrees that Lessor may pledge this
Lease and all accounts,  payment  intangibles,  general intangibles and
other rights and interest  arising  hereunder to one or more lender(s),
such lender(s) shall be entitled upon default to enforce any and all of
the rights, powers, privileges,  remedies and interests of Lessor as so
assigned in accordance  with this Lease,  the applicable loan documents
and  applicable  law, and such  lender(s)  shall not be  responsible or
liable  for  any  of  the  acts,  omissions,   duties,  liabilities  or
obligations  of Lessor or any of its  affiliates  under  this  Lease or
otherwise.   Except  as   otherwise   provided  in  this   Lease,   the
representations,  agreements and other provisions of this Lease are for
the  exclusive  benefit  of the  parties  hereto,  and no other  person
(including, without limitation, any creditor of a party) shall have any
right or claim  against any party by reason of any of those  provisions
or be entitled to enforce any of those provisions against any party.

39.      COUNTERPARTS,  GOVERNING  LAW,  AMENDMENTS,  ETC.  This Lease  shall be
effective  on the date as of which this  Lease  shall be  executed  and
delivered by the parties hereto. This Lease or any related document may
be executed in two or more counterpart copies of the entire document or
of signature  pages to the  document,  each of which may be executed by
one or  more of the  parties  hereto  and  may be sent by fax or  other
electronic  means,,  but  all of  which,  when  taken  together,  shall
constitute a single  agreement  binding upon all of the parties hereto.
This Lease and all related documents shall be governed by and construed
in accordance with the applicable laws pertaining,  in the State of New
York  (other  than those  conflict of law rules that would defer to the
substantive laws of another  jurisdiction).  The headings  contained in
this Lease or any related document are for reference  purposes only and
shall not affect the  meaning  or  interpretation  of this Lease or any
related  document.  Each and every  supplement  or  modification  to or
amendment or restatement of this Lease or any related document shall be
in writing and signed by all of the parties hereto,  and each and every
waiver of, or consent to any departure  from,  any term or provision of
this Lease or any  related  document  shall be in writing and signed by
each affected party hereto.

40.      WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL; ALL WAIVERS INTENTIONAL, ETC. In any action, suit
or proceeding in any jurisdiction  brought against Lessor by Lessee, or
vice versa, each party hereby absolutely, unconditionally,  irrevocably
and expressly  waives forever trial by jury.  This waiver of jury trial
by each  party,  and each  other  waiver,  release,  relinquishment  or
similar surrender of rights (however expressed) made by a party in this
Lease, has been absolutely, unconditionally, irrevocably, knowingly and
intentionally made by such party.

41.      ENTIRE  AGREEMENT.  No party or any of its  representatives  has  made,
accepted  or  acknowledged  any  representation,   warranty,   promise,
assurance,  agreement,  obligation or understanding (oral or otherwise)
to,  with  or  for  the  benefit  of  the  other  party  or  any of its
representatives  other than as expressly set forth in this Lease.  This
Lease  and any  Approval  Letter  issued by  Lessor  and any  Equipment
Schedule  hereunder  contains the entire agreement of the parties,  and
supersedes and completely replaces all prior and other  communications,
discussions   and   other   representations,    warranties,   promises,
assurances,  agreements and understandings (oral, implied or otherwise)
between the  parties,  with  respect to the matters  contained  in this
Lease.

IN WITNESS  WHEREOF,  the parties  have  executed  this Master  Lease  Agreement
effective as of the first date it is executed by Lessee below.

Master Lease Agreement

Lessor:   SPAR Marketing Services, Inc.    Lessee:  SPAR Canada Company

Address:  580 White Plains Road            Address: 1100 Shephard Avenue West,
Tarrytown, NY 10591                       Suite 360
Toronto, ON  M3K2B3

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF LEASE

The undersigned  Lessee hereby requests Lessor to purchase the personal property
described in any Equipment Schedule  hereunder (herein called  "Equipment") from
the  supplier(s)  listed in any  Equipment  Schedule  hereunder  (herein  called
"Vendor"  and/or  "Manufacturer",  as applicable)  and to lease the Equipment to
Lessee on the terms and conditions of the lease set forth below.

Lessor  hereby  leases to Lessee,  and Lessee  hereby  leases from  Lessor,  the
Equipment,  all upon the terms and  provisions and subject to the conditions set
forth in this Master Lease Agreement (as the same may be supplemented, modified,
amended,  restated or replaced from time to time in the manner provided  herein,
this "Lease").

In  consideration  of  the  foregoing,   the  mutual  covenants  and  agreements
hereinafter set forth,  and other good and valuable  consideration  (the receipt
and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged by the parties), the parties hereto
hereby agree as follows:

1.       NO WARRANTIES BY LESSOR. Lessee has selected the Equipment and may have
entered into certain  purchase,  licensing,  or maintenance  agreements
with  the  Vendor  and/or  Manufacturer   (herein  referred  to  as  an
"Acquisition Agreement") covering the Equipment as further described in
Paragraph  25  hereof.  If  Lessee  has  entered  into any  Acquisition
Agreement,   each  agreement  shall  provide  for  certain  rights  and
obligations  of the party  thereto with respect to the  Equipment,  and
Lessee  shall  perform  all  of  the  obligations  set  forth  in  each
Acquisition  Agreement as if this Lease did not exist.  LESSOR MAKES NO
WARRANTY,  EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,  AS TO ANY MATTER WHATSOEVER,  INCLUDING
THE CONDITION OF THE EQUIPMENT,  ITS  MERCHANTABILITY  OR ITS FITNESSES
FOR ANY  PARTICULAR  PURPOSE,  AND,  AS TO  LESSOR,  LESSEE  LEASES THE
EQUIPMENT  "AS IS" AND "WHERE IS".  LESSOR SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY  FOR
ANY LOSS,  DAMAGE OR EXPENSE OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER  RELATING  THERETO,
INCLUDING  (WITHOUT  LIMITATION) ANY SPECIAL,  INDIRECT,  INCIDENTAL OR
CONSQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY CHARACTER.

2.       CLAIMS  AGAINST  VENDOR  AND/OR  MANUFACTURER.  If the Equipment is not
properly  installed,  does not operate as  represented  or warranted by
Vendor and/or Manufacturer, or is unsatisfactory for any reason, Lessee
shall make any claim on account  thereof  solely  against Vendor and/or
Manufacturer pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement,  if any, and shall,
nevertheless,  pay  Lessor  all rent  payable  under  this  Lease.  All
warranties from Vendor and/or  Manufacturer are, to the extent they are
assignable,  hereby  assigned  to Lessee  for the term of this Lease or
until an Event of Default occurs  hereunder,  for Lessee's  exercise at
Lessee's  expense.  Lessee may  directly  inquire  with  Vendor  and/or
Manufacturer  to receive an accurate  and  complete  statement  of such
warranties, including any disclaimers or limitations of such warranties
or of any remedies with respect thereto.

3.       VENDOR NOT AN AGENT. Lessee understands and agrees that neither Vendor,
nor any sales  representative  or other agent of Vendor, is an agent of
Lessor. Sales representatives or agents of Vendor, and persons that are
not  employed  by  Lessor  (including   brokers  and  agents)  are  not
authorized  to waive or alter any term or condition of this Lease,  and
no  representation as to the Equipment or any other matter by Vendor or
any other person that is not employed by Lessor  (including  brokers or
agents)  shall  in any way  affect  Lessee's  duty to pay the  rent and
perform its other obligations as set forth in this Lease.

4.       NON-CANCELLABLE  LEASE.  This Lease and any Equipment  Schedule  hereto
cannot be cancelled or terminated except as expressly  provided herein.
Lessee  agrees  that its  obligation  to pay all rent  and  other  sums
payable  hereunder  and the  rights  of  Lessor in and to such rent are
absolute  and  unconditional  and are  not  subject  to any  abatement,
reduction,  setoff, defense,  counterclaim or recoupment due or alleged
to be due to, or by reason of, any past, present or future claims which
Lessee may have against  Lessor,  any  assignee,  any  Manufacturer  or
Vendor, or against any person for any reason whatsoever.

5.       ORDERING EQUIPMENT.  Lessee shall arrange for delivery of the Equipment
so that it can be accepted in accordance with Paragraph 6 hereof within
90 days after the date on which Lessor accepts  Lessee's offer to enter
into this Lease with respect to any Equipment Schedule or by such other
date as may be set forth in 

an  Equipment  Schedule  or  Approval  Letter  issued  by Lessor as the
Approval  Expiration Date. Unless otherwise  specified on the Equipment
Schedule, Lessee shall be responsible for all transportation,  packing,
installation,   testing  and  other  charges  in  connection  with  the
delivery,   installation  and  use  of  the  Equipment.  Lessee  hereby
authorizes  Lessor to insert in any  Equipment  Schedule  hereunder the
serial  numbers  and  other   identification  data  of  Equipment  when
determined by Lessor.

6.       ACCEPTANCE.  Lessee  acknowledges  that for  purposes of  receiving  or
accepting  the  Equipment  from  Vendor,  Lessee is acting on  Lessor's
behalf.   Upon  delivery  of  the  Equipment  to  Lessee  and  Lessee's
inspection thereof, Lessee shall furnish Lessor a written statement (a)
acknowledging receipt of the Equipment in good condition and repair and
(b)  accepting it as  satisfactory  in all respects for the purposes of
this Lease (the  "Certificate  of  Acceptance").  Unless  otherwise set
forth in the applicable Equipment Schedule,  the first day of the month
following  receipt  and  acceptance  of  the  Equipment  covered  by an
Equipment  Schedule  shall  be the  Rent  Commencement  Date  therefor.
However,  should  Lessee  have a previous  lease with  Lessor  which is
active at the time of acceptance  of the Equipment  under the Equipment
Schedule and said lease and the current  Equipment  Schedule  hereunder
shall have the same  invoice  address then the Rent  Commencement  Date
shall  occur  in the  month  immediately  following  acceptance  of the
Equipment on the rent payment due date established with Lessee for said
previous active lease. Lessor is authorized to fill in on any Equipment
Schedule  hereunder the Rent  Commencement  Date in accordance with the
foregoing.

7.       TERMINATION  BY  LESSOR.  If,  by the  Approval  Expiration  Date,  the
Equipment described in any Equipment Schedule has not been delivered to
Lessee and accepted by Lessee as provided in Paragraph 6 hereof,  or if
other  conditions of Lessor's  Approval  Letter,  if any, have not been
met,  then  Lessor may,  at its  option,  terminate  this Lease and its
obligations  hereunder with respect to such  Equipment  Schedule at any
time  after  the  expiration  of such 90 days  or any  date  after  the
Approval  Expiration  Date,  as  applicable.  Lessor  shall give Lessee
written  notice whether or not it elects to exercise such option within
10 days after  Lessor's  receipt of Lessee's  written  request for such
notice.

8.       TERM.  The term of this Lease shall be comprised of an Interim Term and
an  Initial  Term.  The  Interim  Term shall  commence  on the date the
Certificate of Acceptance is executed by Lessee (the "Acceptance Date")
and terminate on the Rent  Commencement  Date. The Initial Term of this
Lease shall begin on the Rent Commencement Date, and shall terminate on
the later of (i) the last day of the last month of the Initial Term (as
that Term is set forth in the applicable  Equipment Schedule hereto) or
(ii) the date Lessee fulfills all Lessee's obligations hereunder.

9.       RENTAL. The rental amount payable to Lessor by Lessee for the Equipment
will be set forth in the Equipment Schedule(s) ("Rental Amount). As the
first  rent  payment  for the  Equipment,  Lessee  shall pay  Lessor in
immediately  available funds on the Rent  Commencement Date the sum of,
(i) the Rental  Amount,  and (ii)  Interim  Rent in an amount  equal to
1/3Oth of the Rental Amount times the number of days from and including
the Acceptance Date through but excluding the Rent  Commencement  Date,
and  subsequent  rent  payments  shall  be due on the  same day of each
calendar period as indicated on the Equipment  Schedule for the balance
of the Initial Term.  Rent payments  shall be due whether or not Lessee
has received any notice that such  payments are due. All rent  payments
shall be paid to Lessor at its address set forth above or as  otherwise
directed by Lessor in writing.

10.      RENEWAL If no default  shall have  occurred and be  continuing,  Lessee
shall be entitled to renew this Lease with respect to all, but not less
than all,  of the  Equipment  covered by an  Equipment  Schedule  for a
minimum 12 month  period at an amount  equal to the fair market  rental
value thereof,  in use and  operational,  in the condition  required by
this Lease,  payable on a periodic  basis, as mutually agreed by Lessor
and Lessee ("Renewal  Rent).  Lessee must give Lessor written notice of
its intention to exercise said option, which notice must be received by
Lessor at least 90 days  before  expiration  of the Initial  Term.  The
first installment of the Renewal Rent shall be due at expiration of the
Initial  Term of this  Lease.  Should  Lessee  fail to comply  with the
provisions  described  above covering  renewal,  upon expiration of the
Initial Term,  the term of this Lease shall be  automatically  extended
for a term of 3  months.  Thereafter,  the term of this  Lease  will be
extended for subsequent full month periods,  on a month to month basis,
until Lessee has given at least 90 days written notice terminating this
Lease.  Such  termination  will  take  effect  upon  completion  of all
Lessee's  obligations  under  this  Lease  (including  payment  of  all
periodic rental payments due during such 90 day period,  as provided in
Paragraph 9 of this  Lease).  At any time after the  expiration  of the
Initial  Term,  if this Lease has been  automatically  extended  as set
forth herein,  Lessor  reserves the right to terminate this Lease by 30
days written notice to Lessee.

11.      LOCATION;  INSPECTION;  LABELS. The Equipment shall be delivered to and
shall not be removed  without  Lessor's prior written  consent from the
"Equipment  Location" shown on the related  Equipment  Schedule,  or if
none is specified,  Lessee's billing address shown above.  Lessor shall
have the right to inspect the  Equipment  at any  reasonable  time.  If
Lessor  supplies Lessee with labels stating that the Equipment is owned
by  Lessor,  Lessee  shall  affix  such  labels  to and keep  them in a
prominent place on the Equipment.

12.      REPAIRS; USE; ALTERATIONS.  Lessee, at its own cost and expense,  shall
keep the  Equipment  in good  repair  and  working  order,  in the same
condition  as when  delivered  to  Lessee,  reasonable  wear  and  tear
excepted,  and  in  accordance  with  the  manufacturer's   recommended
specifications;  shall use the Equipment lawfully;  shall not alter the
Equipment  without  Lessor's  prior  written  consent,  shall  use  the
Equipment in compliance  with any existing  Manufacturer's  service and
warranty  requirements  and any  insurance  policies  applicable to the
Equipment and shall furnish all parts and servicing  required therefor.
All parts, repairs, additions, alterations and attachments placed on or
incorporated  into the Equipment which cannot be removed without damage
to the  Equipment  shall  immediately  become part of the Equipment and
shall be the  property of the Lessor.  Lessee will obtain and  maintain
all permits,  licenses and registrations  necessary to lawfully operate
the facility  where the Equipment is located.  Lessee shall comply with
all applicable  environ- mental and industrial  hygiene laws, rules and
regulations  (including  but not limited to federal,  state,  and local
environmental  protection,  occupational,  health and safety or similar
laws, ordinances and restrictions). Lessee shall, not later than 5 days
after the occurrence, provide Lessor with copies of any report required
to be filed with governmental agencies regulating environmental claims.
Lessee  shall  immediately  notify  Lessor in writing of any  existing,
pending or threatened  investigation,  inquiry,  claim or action by any
governmental  authority in connection  with any law, rule or regulation
relating to industrial  hygiene or environmental  conditions that could
affect the Equipment.

13.      MAINTENANCE.  If the  Equipment  is such that  Lessee  is not  normally
capable of maintaining it, Lessee, at its expense, shall enter into and
maintain in full force and effect  throughout  the Initial Term and any
renewal  term,  Vendor  and/or   Manufacturer's   standard  maintenance
contract,  and shall  comply with all its  obligations  thereunder.  An
alternate source of maintenance may be used with Lessor's prior written
consent.  Such  consent  shall be granted  if, in  Lessor's  reasonable
opinion,  the Equipment  will be  maintained in an equivalent  state of
good repair, condition and working order.

14.      SURRENDER.  Provided that Lessee does not exercise the purchase  option
as set forth in Paragraph 27 hereof, upon the expiration of the Initial
Term,  or any renewal  term,  or upon demand by Lessor made pursuant to
Paragraph 21 of this Lease,  Lessee, at its expense,  shall return all,
but not less than all, of the  Equipment by delivering it to such place
or on board such carrier,  packed for shipping,  as Lessor may specify.
Lessee agrees that the Equipment,  when returned,  shall be in the same
condition  as when  delivered  to  Lessee,  reasonable  wear  and  tear
excepted,  and in a condition  which will permit  Lessor to be eligible
for Manufacturer's  standard maintenance contract without incurring any
expense  to repair or  rehabilitate  such  Equipment.  Lessee  shall be
liable for reasonable and necessary  expenses to place the Equipment in
such  condition.  Lessee shall remain  liable for the  condition of the
Equipment  until  it  is  received  and  accepted  at  the  destination
designated by Lessor as set forth above.  If any items of Equipment are
missing or damaged when returned,  such occurrence  shall be treated as
an event of Loss or Damage  with  respect  to such  missing  or damaged
items and shall be  subject  to the terms  specified  in  Paragraph  15
below.  Lessee shall  provide  Lessor with a Letter of  Maintainability
from the  Manufacturer of the Equipment,  which letter shall state that
the  Equipment  will  be  eligible  for  the  Manufacturer's   standard
maintenance contract when sold or leased to a third party. Lessee shall
give Lessor prior written  notice that it is returning the Equipment as
provided above,  and such notice must be received by Lessor at least 90
days  prior to such  return.  Should  Lessee  fail to  comply  with the
provisions  described above covering surrender,  upon expiration of the
Initial Term,  the term of this Lease shall be  automatically  extended
for a term of 3  months.  Thereafter,  the term of this  Lease  will be
extended for subsequent full month periods,  on a month to month basis,
until Lessee has given at least 90 days written notice terminating this
Lease.  Such  termination  will  take  effect  upon  completion  of all
Lessee's  obligations  under  this  Lease  (including  payment  of  all
periodic rental payments due during such 90 day period,  as provided in
Paragraph 9 of this  Lease).  At any time after the  expiration  of the
Initial  Term,  if this Lease has been  automatically  extended  as set
forth herein.  Lessor  reserves the right to terminate this Lease by 30
days written notice to Lessee.

15.      LOSS OR  DAMAGE.  Lessee  shall bear the  entire  risk of loss,  theft,
destruction  of or damage to the Equipment or any item thereof  (herein
"Loss or Damage")  from any cause  whatsoever.  No Loss or Damage shall
relieve Lessee of the obligation to pay rent or of any other obligation
under this Lease. In the event of Loss or Damage, Lessee, at the option
of Lessor;  shall: (a) place the same in good condition and repair; (b)
replace  the same  with  like  equipment  acceptable  to Lessor in good
condition and repair with clear title thereto in Lessor;  or (c) pay to
Lessor the total of the following amounts: (i) the total rent and other
amounts due and owing at the time of such payment,  plus (ii) an amount
calculated  by Lessor which is the present value at 5% per annum simple
interest  discount of all rent and other amounts payable by Lessee with
respect to said item from date of such payment to date of expiration of
its Initial Term, plus (iii) the "reversionary value" of the Equipment,
which shall be  determined by Lessor as the total cost of the Equipment
less 60% of the total rent (net of sales/use taxes, if any) required to
be paid pursuant to Paragraph 9. Upon Lessor's receipt of such payment,
Lessee and/or Lessee's  insurer shall be entitled to Lessor's  interest
in said item, for salvage purposes, in its then condition and location,
"as-is ", without any warranty, express or implied.

16.      INSURANCE.  Lessee  shall  provide,  maintain  and pay for (a) all risk
property  insurance  against  the  loss or theft  of or  damage  to the
Equipment,  for the full replacement value thereof,  naming Lessor as a
loss payee,  and (b)  commercial  general  liability  insurance (and if
Lessee is a doctor;  hospital or other  health care  provider,  medical
malpractice  insurance).  All such  policies  shall  name  Lessor as an
additional  insured and shall have  combined  single  limits in amounts
acceptable to Lessor.  All such insurance policies shall be endorsed to
be primary and  non-contributory  to any policies maintained by Lessor.
In  addition  Lessee  shall cause  Lessor to be named as an  additional
insured on any excess or umbrella policies  purchased by Lessee. A copy
of  each  paid-up  policy  evidencing  such  insurance   (appropriately
authenticated by the insurer) or a certificate of the insurer providing
such coverage  proving that such  policies have been issued,  providing
the coverage  required  hereunder shall be delivered to Lessor prior to
the  Rent  Commencement  Date.  All  insurance  shall  be  placed  with
companies  satisfactory  to Lessor  and  shall  contain  the  insurer's
agreement to give 30 days written notice to Lessor before  cancellation
or any material change of any policy of insurance.

17.      TAXES.  Lessee shall  reimburse to Lessor (or pay directly if, but only
if,  instructed  by Lessor)  all charges  and taxes  (local,  State and
federal) which may now or hereafter be imposed or levied upon the sale,
purchase,  ownership,  leasing,  possession  or use  of the  Equipment;
excluding,  however; all income taxes levied on (a) any rental payments
made to Lessor hereunder;  (b) any payment made to Lessor in connection
with Loss or Damage to the Equipment under Paragraph 15 hereof,  or (c)
any payment made to Lessor in connection with Lessee's  exercise of its
purchase option under Paragraph 27 hereof.

18.      LESSOR'S  PAYMENT.   If  Lessee  fails  to  provide  or  maintain  said
insurance,  to pay said taxes,  charges and fees,  or to discharge  any
levies, liens and encumbrances created by Lessee, Lessor shall have the
right, but shall not be obligated,  to obtain such insurance,  pay such
taxes,  charges  and fees,  or effect  such  discharge.  In that event,
Lessee  shall  remit to  Lessor  the cost  thereof  with the next  rent
payment.

19.      INDEMNITY. (a) General Indemnity. Lessee shall indemnify Lessor against
and hold Lessor  harmless  from any and all claims,  actions,  damages,
costs,  expenses  including  reasonable  attorneys' fees,  obligations,
liabilities  and  liens  (including  any of the  foregoing  arising  or
imposed  under  the   doctrines  of  "strict   liability"  or  "product
liability"  and  including  without  limitation  the cost of any fines,
remedial action, damage to the environment and cleanup and the fees and
costs of  consultants  and  experts),  arising out of the  manufacture,
purchase, lease, ownership, possession, operation, condition, return or
use of the Equipment, or by operation of law, excluding however, any of
the foregoing resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct
of Lessor.  Lessee  agrees  that upon  written  notice by Lessor of the
assertion of such a claim,  action,  damage,  obligation,  liability or
lien, Lessee shall assume full  responsibility for the defense thereof.
Lessee's choice of counsel shall be mutually  acceptable to both Lessee
and Lessor.  This  indemnity also extends to any  environmental  claims
arising  out of or  relating  to prior acts or  omissions  of any party
whatsoever.  The provisions of this paragraph shall survive termination
of  this  Lease  with  respect  to  events   occurring  prior  to  such
termination.

(b)      Tax  Indemnity.  Lessee  acknowledges  that  Lessor  shall  be
entitled to all tax benefits of ownership  with respect to the
Equipment (the "Tax Benefits"),  including but not limited to,
(i) the  accelerated  cost recovery  deductions  determined in
accordance with Section 168(b)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986 for the  Equipment  based on the original  cost of the
Equipment  to  Lessor  (ii)  deductions  for  interest  on any
indebtedness  incurred by Lessor to finance the  Equipment and
(iii)  sourcing  of income  and  losses  attributable  to this
Lease,  to the  United  States.  Lessee  represents  that  the
Equipment  shall  be  depreciable  for  Federal  tax  purposes
utilizing  the  MACRS  Recovery  Period  as set  forth  in the
Equipment  Schedule,  with such depreciation  commencing as of
the date of Equipment acceptance by Lessee as set forth on the
Certificate  of  Acceptance.  Lessee  agrees to take no action
inconsistent  with the  foregoing  or any action  which  would
result in the loss,  disallowance or  unavailability to Lessor
of  all  or  any  part  of the  Tax  Benefits.  Lessee  hereby
indemnifies and holds harmless Lessor and its assigns from and
against  (i)  the  loss,   disallowance,   unavailability   or
recapture  of all or any  part of the Tax  Benefits  resulting
from any  action,  statement,  misrepresentation  or breach of
warranty  or  covenant  by  Lessee  of any  nature  whatsoever
including   but   not   limited   to   the   breach   of   any
representations,  warranties  or  covenants  contained in this
paragraph,  plus  (ii)  all  interest,   penalties,  fines  or
additions  to tax  resulting  from  such  loss,  disallowance,
unavailability or recapture,  plus (iii) all taxes required to
be paid by Lessor upon receipt of the  indemnity  set forth in
this  paragraph.  Any  payments  made by Lessee  to  reimburse
Lessor for lost Tax Benefits  shall be  calculated  (i) on the
assumption  that  Lessor is  subject  to the  maximum  Federal
Corporate  Income  Tax with  respect to each year and that all
Tax Benefits are currently  utilized,  and (ii) without regard
to whether  Lessor or any members of a  consolidated  group of
which  Lessor is also a member is then subject to any increase
in tax as a  result  of the  loss  of Tax  Benefits.  For  the
purposes  of this  paragraph,  "Lessor"  includes  for all tax
purposes the consolidated  taxpayer group of which Lessor is a
part.

(c)      Payment.  The amounts  payable  pursuant to this  Paragraph 19
shall be  payable  upon  demand of  Lessor,  accompanied  by a
statement  describing in reasonable detail such claim, action,
damage, cost, expense, fee, obligation, liability, lien or tax
and setting  forth the  computation  of the amount so payable,
which computation shall be binding and conclusive upon Lessee,
absent  manifest  error.  The  indemnities  and assumptions of
liabilities  and  obligations  contained in this  Paragraph 19
shall  continue in full force and effect  notwithstanding  the
expiration or other termination of this Lease.

20.      DELINQUENT PAYMENTS.  (a) Service Charge. Since it would be impractical
or extremely  difficult to fix Lessor's  actual  damages for collecting
and  accounting for a late payment,  if any payment to Lessor  required
herein (including,  but not limited to, rental,  renewal, tax, purchase
and other amounts) is not paid on or before its due date,  Lessee shall
pay to  Lessor  an amount  equal to 5% of any such  late  payment.  (b)
Interest.  Lessee shall also pay interest on any such late payment from
the due date  thereof  until the date paid at the  littlest  of 18% per
annum or the maximum rate allowed by law.

21.      DEFAULT;  REMEDIES.  Any of the following shall constitute an "Event of
Default" under this Lease: If (a) Lessee fails to pay when due any rent
or  other  amount  required  herein  to be  paid  by  Lessee  and  such
non-payment  continues  for more than seven days after  notice  thereof
from  Lessor,  or (b) Lessee  makes an  assignment  for the  benefit of
creditors, whether voluntary or involuntary, or (c) a petition is filed
by or  against  Lessee  under any  bankruptcy,  insolvency  or  similar
legislation,  or (d) Lessee  violates or fails to perform any provision
of either this Lease or any Acquisition Agreement, or violates or fails
to perform any covenant or  representation  made by Lessee herein,  and
fails to correct the same within seven days after  notice  thereof from
Lessor, or (e) Lessee makes a bulk transfer of furniture,  furnishings,
fixtures or other  equipment or  inventory,  or (f) Lessee ceases doing
business as a going concern or terminates its existence,  or (g) Lessee
consolidates  with,  merges  with or into,  or conveys or leases all or
substantially all of its assets as an entirety to any person or engages
in any other form of reorganization,  or there is a change in the legal
structure  of Lessee,  in each case it  results,  in the opinion of the
Lessor, in a material adverse change in Lessee's ability to perform its
obligations  under this Lease,  or (h) any  representation  or warranty
made by Lessee  in this  Lease or in any other  document  or  agreement
furnished  by  Lessee  to  Lessor  shall  prove to have  been  false or
misleading  in any  material  respect  when made or when deemed to have
been  made,  or (i)  Lessee  shall be in  default  under  any  material
obligation for the payment of borrowed  money or the deferred  purchase
price of, or for the payment of any rent due with  respect to, any real
or personal  property  and such default  continues  for more than seven
days after  notice  thereof  from  Lessor,  or (j)  Lessee  shall be in
default under any other  agreement now existing or hereafter  made with
Lessor or any of Lessor's  affiliates  and such default  continues  for
more than seven days after notice thereof from Lessor, or (k) any event
or condition  described in the  foregoing  clauses (b),  (c), (e), (f),
(g), (h) (in clauses (g) and (h)  substituting  the phrase "guaranty or
other credit support document" for the word "Lease"),  (i) or (j) shall
have  occurred  with respect to any guarantor of, or other party liable
in  whole  or in part  for,  Lessee's  obligations  hereunder,  or such
guarantor  or other party shall have  defaulted  in the  observance  or
performance  of any covenant,  condition or agreement to be observed or
performed  by it under the guaranty or other  credit  support  document
pursuant to which it is liable for Lessee's obligations  hereunder,  or
such guaranty or other credit support  document shall have been revoked
or terminated or shall have otherwise ceased,  for any reason, to be in
full  force  and  effect.  An  Event of  Default  with  respect  to any
Equipment  Schedule  shall  constitute  an  Event  of  Default  for all
Equipment  Schedules.  Lessee  shall  promptly  notify  Lessor  of  the
occurrence of any Event of Default upon  Lessee's  receipt of notice or
knowledge thereof (other than pursuant to Lessor's notice).

If an Event of Default occurs,  Lessor shall have the right to
exercise any one or more of the following  remedies in order to protect
the interests and reasonably  expected  profits and bargains of Lessor:
(a) Lessor may terminate  this Lease with respect to all or any part of
the  Equipment,  (b) Lessor may recover  from Lessee all rent and other
amounts then due and as they shall thereafter become due hereunder, (c)
Lessor may take  possession of any or all items of Equipment,  wherever
the same may be located,  without  demand or notice,  without any court
order or other  process of law and without  liability to Lessee for any
damages occasioned by such taking of possession, and any such taking of
possession shall not constitute a termination of this Lease, (d) Lessor
may  recover  from  Lessee,  with  respect  to any  and  all  items  of
Equipment,  and with or without  repossessing  the Equipment the sum of
(1) the  total  amount  due and  owing  to  Lessor  at the item of such
default,  plus (2) an amount  calculated by Lessor which is the present
value at 5% per annum  simple  interest  discount of all rent and other
amounts  payable by Lessee with  respect to said  item(s)  form date of
such payment to date of expiration  of its Initial  Term,  plus (3) the
"reversionary  value" of the  Equipment,  which shall be  determined by
Lessor as the total  cost of the  Equipment  less 60% of the total rent
(net of  sales/use  taxes,  if any)  required  to be paid  pursuant  to
Paragraph 9, and which the parties  agree is a  reasonable  estimate of
such value;  and upon the payment of all amounts  described  in clauses
(1), (2) and (3) above, Lessee will become entitled to the Equipment AS
IS, WHERE IS, without warranty whatsoever;  provided,  however, that if
the Lessor shall sell, lease or otherwise dispose of the Equipment in a
commercially reasonable manner, with or without notice and on public or
private bid, and apply the net proceeds  thereof  (after  deducting all
expenses,  including attorneys' fees incurred in connection therewith),
to the sum of (1),  (2) and (3)  above,  and e) Lessor  may  pursue any
other remedy  available at law or in equity,  including but not limited
to  seeking  damages  or  specific   performance  and/or  obtaining  an
injunction.

No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Lessor
is exclusive of any right or remedy herein or by law or equity provided
or  permitted;  but each shall be  cumulative  of every  other right or
remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity
or by statue or otherwise,  and may be enforced concurrently  therewith
or from time to time,  but Lessor  shall not be  entitled  to recover a
greater  amount in damages  than Lessor could have gained by receipt of
the  of  Lessee's  full,   timely  and  complete   performance  of  its
obligations pursuant to the terms of this Lease plus accrued delinquent
payments under Paragraph 21.

22.      LESSOR'S  EXPENSE.  Lessee  shall pay  Lessor  all costs and  expenses,
including attorney's fees and the fees of collection agencies, incurred
by Lessor in  enforcing  any of the terms,  conditions,  or  provisions
hereof or in protecting  Lessor's  rights herein.  Lessee's  obligation
hereunder  includes all such costs and expenses  experienced  by Lessor
(a) prior to  filing of an  action,  (b) in  connection  with an action
which  is  dismissed,  and  (c) in  the  enforcement  of any  judgment.
Lessee's  obligation  to  pay  Lessor's  attorney's  fees  incurred  in
enforcing any judgment is a separate  obligation  of Lessee,  severable
from  Lessee's  other  obligations  hereunder,  which  obligation  will
survive  such  judgment and will not be deemed to have been merged into
such judgment.

23.      OWNERSHIP;  PERSONAL PROPERTY.  The Equipment shall at all times remain
the  property  of Lessor  and  Lessee  shall  have no  right,  title or
interest therein or thereto except as expressly set forth in this Lease
and the Equipment  shall at all times be and remain  personal  property
notwithstanding  that the  Equipment or any part thereof may now be, or
hereafter become,  in any manner,  affixed or attached to real property
or any improvements thereon.

24.      NOTICES. Any notice,  request,  demand or other communication permitted
or required to be given to a party under this Lease shall be in writing
and shall be sent to the addressee at the address set forth above or on
the Equipment Schedule (or at such other address as shall be designated
by notice to the other party and persons receiving  copies),  effective
upon actual receipt (or refusal to accept delivery) by the addressee on
any business day or the first business day following  receipt after the
close of normal business hours or on any non-business day, by (a) FedEx
(or other equivalent  national or international  overnight  courier) or
United States  Express Mail,  (b)  certified,  registered,  priority or
express United States mail, return receipt  requested,  (c) telecopy or
(d) messenger, by hand or any other means of actual delivery

25.      ACQUISITION AGREEMENTS.  If the Equipment is subject to any Acquisition
Agreement,  Lessee as part of this  Lease,  transfers  and  assigns  to
Lessor  all of its  rights,  but none of its  obligations  (except  for
Lessee's obligation to pay for the Equipment  conditioned upon Lessee's
acceptance in accordance  with Paragraph 6), in and to the  Acquisition
Agreement,  including but not limited to the right to take title to the
Equipment.   Lessee  shall   indemnify  and  hold  Lessor  harmless  in
accordance  with  Paragraph 19 from any  liability  resulting  from any
Acquisition  Agreement  as  well  as  liabilities  resulting  from  any
Acquisition  Agreement  Lessor is  required  to enter into on behalf of
Lessee or with Lessee for purposes of this Lease.

26.      UPGRADES.  Any existing  lease between  Lessor and Lessee subject to an
"upgrade"  program shall continue in full force and effect and shall be
kept free of default by Lessee  (even if the  Equipment  covered by the
existing lease is sold. traded-in,  etc.) until any such existing lease
is  cancelled  by Lessor  when,  if  applicable,  the new  Equipment is
accepted by Lessee for all purposes of this Lease.

27.      PURCHASE  OPTION.  If no default shall have occurred and be continuing,
Lessee shall be entitled,  at its option upon written notice to Lessor,
which  notice  must be received by Lessor at least 90 days prior to the
end of either the  Initial  Term or any renewal  term of any  Equipment
Schedule,  to purchase  all,  but not less than all,  of the  Equipment
covered  by  such  Equipment  Schedule  from  Lessor  at the end of the
Initial  Term or any  renewal  term for such  Equipment  Schedule  at a
purchase  price equal to the then fair market value of the Equipment in
use and  operational,  in the  condition  required  by this  Lease,  as
mutually agreed by Lessor and Lessee.  On a date which is no later than
the  expiration  date of the  Initial  Term  or any  renewal  term,  as
applicable,  Lessee  shall pay to  Lessor  the  purchase  price for the
Equipment  covered by such  Equipment  Schedule  (plus any taxes levied
thereon) and Lessor shall sell the Equipment "as-is  where-is"  without
any warranties express or implied.

28.      RELATED EQUIPMENT  SCHEDULES.  In the event that any Equipment Schedule
hereunder shall include  Equipment that may become attached to, affixed
to,  or  used  in  connection  with  Equipment  covered  under  another
Equipment Schedule hereunder  ("Related  Equipment  Schedule"),  Lessee
acknowledges the following: (a) if Lessee elects to exercise a purchase
option or renewal option under any Equipment Schedule,  if provided; or
(b) if Lessee  elects  to  return  the  Equipment  under any  Equipment
Schedule as described in Paragraph 14, then Lessor,  at its discretion,
may require the similar  disposition of all Related Equipment Schedules
as provided for by this Lease.

29.      EQUIPMENT  SCHEDULES.  An executed Equipment Schedule that incorporates
by  reference  the  terms  of  this  Master  Lease  Agreement,   marked
"Original,"  shall be the  original  of this  Lease  for the  Equipment
described therein for all purposes.  All other executed counterparts of
this Lease  shall be marked  "Duplicate."  Unless  specified  otherwise
therein,  in the event any written rider or other agreement is attached
to and made a part of an Equipment  Schedule,  the terms and conditions
of said written  agreement shall apply only to said Equipment  Schedule
and shall not apply to any other Equipment Schedule made a part of this
Lease.  In the event Lessee issues a purchase order to Lessor  covering
Equipment to be leased hereunder, it is agreed that such purchase order
is issued for purposes of authorization and Lessee's internal use only,
and.  none of its  terms  and  conditions  shall  modify  the terms and
conditions  of this  Lease  and/or  related  documentation,  or  affect
Lessor's  responsibility  to Lessee as  defined in this  Lease.  To the
extent this Lease constitutes chattel paper, as such term is defined in
the Uniform Commercial Code of the applicable jurisdiction, no security
interest  in  this  Lease  may  be  created  through  the  transfer  of
possession of any counterpart other than the Original of this Lease.

30.      GENERAL  REPRESENTATIONS  OF THE  PARTIES.  Each party  represents  and
warrants to the other party that, as of the date hereof, as of the date

execution  and delivery by such party of this Lease (and any  Equipment
Schedule  entered into  pursuant  hereto) and the  performance  by such

conflict with any term or provision of (i) any applicable law, (ii) any
judgment,  order, writ,  injunction,  decree or consent of any court or
other judicial authority  applicable to such party or any material part
of such party's assets and properties,  (iii) any of the organizational
or governing  documents of such party, or (iv) any material  agreement,
document or obligation to which it is a party,  and such party will not
adopt any such  conflicting  organizational  or  governing  document or
enter into any such conflicting agreement,  document or obligation; (d)
no consent, approval or authorization of, or registration,  declaration

execution,  delivery and  performance  by such party of this Lease (and

validity,  binding  effect  or  enforceability  of any of the terms and
provisions  of this  Lease (and any  Equipment  Schedule  entered  into
pursuant  hereto);  (d) this Lease (and any Equipment  Schedule entered
into pursuant hereto) is a legal,  valid and binding obligation of such
party,   enforceable  against  such  party  in  accordance  with  their
respective terms and provisions;  and (e) each party has  independently
and fully reviewed and evaluated this Lease (and any Equipment Schedule
entered  into  pursuant   hereto)  and  all  related   documents,   the
contemplated  obligations and transactions and the potential effects of
such obligations and transactions on the assets,  business,  cash flow,
expenses,  income,  liabilities,   operations,  properties,  prospects,
reputation,  taxation or condition  (financial  or  otherwise)  of such
party and its affiliates, which review and evaluation was made together
with the officers,  directors and other  representatives of such party,
its legal  counsel  and (to the extent  deemed  prudent by such  party)
other legal counsel and financial and other advisors to such party, and
such party hereby absolutely,  unconditionally,  irrevocably, expressly
and forever  assumes any and all attendant risks and waives any and all
rights, claims, defenses or objections with respect thereto

31.      LESSEE'S  REPRESENTATIONS.  Lessee  represents  and  warrants to Lessor
that,  as of the date hereof,  as of the date of the  execution of each
Equipment  Schedule and as of the date of each extension,  modification
or amendment of this Lease and each Equipment  Schedule,  and covenants
and agrees with the Lessor that for so long as any  Equipment is leased
pursuant  hereto:  (a) the  Equipment  is being  leased  hereunder  for
business purposes and is not being and will not be used for any illicit
or illegal business or scheme;  (b) the financial  information (if any)
respecting Lessee furnished to Lessor is complete,  accurate and fairly
presents  the  financial  condition  of the  Customer;  (d) the credit,
financial and other  information  furnished or to be furnished by or on
behalf of Lessee  to Lessor is true and  correct  and does not and will
not  contain  a  misstatement  of a  material  fact or omit to  state a
material fact required to be stated therein in order to make it, in the
light of the  circumstances  under which made, not misleading;  and (f)
there does not exist any  pending or  threatened  action or  proceeding
before  any  court or  administrative  agency  which  might  materially
adversely affect Lessee's financial condition or operations

32.      FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. Lessee agrees to furnish to Lessor (i) as soon as
available,  and in any event within 120 days after the last day of each
fiscal year of Lessee, a copy of the financial  statements of Lessee as
of the end of such fiscal year,  certified by an independent  certified
public  accounting  firm:  (ii) as soon as available,  and in any event
within 60 days after the last day of each  quarter of  Lessee's  fiscal
year,  a  copy  of  quarterly  financial  statements  certified  by the
principal  financial  officer  of  Lessee;  and (iii)  such  additional
information concerning Lessee as Lessor may reasonably request.

33.      GOOD FAITH DEPOSIT  REQUIREMENT.  Lessee  agrees,  with respect to each
transaction,  to pay the  Good  Faith  Deposit  specified  in  Lessor's
proposal for such  transaction  or in the  Equipment  Schedule  related
thereto. This Good Faith Deposit is given in consideration for Lessor's
costs and expenses in investigating and appraising and/or  establishing
credit for Lessee. This Good Faith Deposit shall not be refunded unless
Lessor declines to accept Lessee's offer to enter into this Lease. Upon
Lessor's  acceptance of Lessee's offer to enter into this Lease, unless
otherwise specified in the proposal or Equipment  Schedule,  the amount
shall  be  applied  to  the  first   period's  rent   payment.   Lessee
acknowledges  that  Lessor's act of  depositing  any Good Faith Deposit
into  Lessor's  bank account  shall not in itself  constitute  Lessor's
acceptance of Lessee's offer to enter into this Lease.

34.      INTERPRETATION,  SEVERABILITY,  ETC. The parties  acknowledge and agree
that the terms and provisions of this Lease and the Equipment Schedules
have been  negotiated,  shall be  construed  fairly  as to all  parties
hereto,  and shall not be  construed  in favor of or against any party.
The term  "including"  shall  mean  "including  (without  limitation)",
whether or not so stated.  The terms "including",  "including,  but not
limited to", "including  (without  limitation)" and similar phrases (i)
mean that the items specifically listed after such term are examples of
the  provision  preceding  such  term  and are not  intended  to be all
inclusive,  (ii) shall not in any way limit (or be deemed or  construed
to limit) the  generality of the  provision  preceding  such term,  and
(iii)  shall not in any way  preclude  (or be deemed  or  construed  to
preclude)  any  other   applicable  item  encompassed  by  the  general
provision  preceding such term. In the event that any term or provision
of this Lease or any Equipment  Schedule shall be finally determined to
be superseded,  invalid, illegal or otherwise unenforceable pursuant to
applicable  law by an authority  having  jurisdiction  and venue,  that
determination  shall  not  impair or  otherwise  affect  the  validity,
legality  or  enforceability  (a) by or before  that  authority  of the
remaining  terms  and  provisions  of  this  Lease  and  the  Equipment
Schedules,  which  shall be enforced  as if the  unenforceable  term or
provision  were deleted or reduced  pursuant to the next  sentence,  as
applicable, or (b) by or before any other authority of any of the terms
and provisions of this Lease and the Equipment  Schedules.  If any term
or  provision  of this Lease or any  Equipment  Schedule  is held to be
unenforceable  because of the scope or duration of any such  provision,
the parties agree that any court making such  determination  shall have
the power, and is hereby requested,  to reduce the scope or duration of
such term or provision to the maximum  permissible under applicable law
so that said term or  provision  shall be  enforceable  in such reduced
form.

35.      MISCELLANEOUS.  Lessor reserves the right to charge Lessee fees for its
provision of additional  administrative  services related to this Lease
requested by Lessee.  Lessee shall provide  Lessor with such  corporate
resolutions,  opinions  of  counsel,  financial  statements,  and other
documents  (including  documents for filing or recording) as Lessor may
request  from  time to  time.  LESSEE  HEREBY  APPOINTS  LESSOR  OR ITS
ASSIGNEE  ITS TRUE AND LAWFUL  ATTORNEY IN FACT TO EXECUTE ON BEHALF OF
LESSEE  ALL  UNIFORM  COMMERCIAL  CODE  FINANCING  STATEMENTS  OR OTHER
DOCUMENTS  WHICH,  IN LESSOR'S  DETERMINATION,  ARE NECESSARY TO SECURE
LESSOR'S  INTEREST  IN SAID  EQUIPMENT.  The  filing  of UCC  Financing
Statements is  precautionary  and shall not be evidence that this Lease
is intended as security. If for any reason this agreement is determined
not to be a lease,  Lessee hereby grants Lessor a security  interest in
this Lease,  the  Equipment or  collateral  pertaining  thereto and the
proceeds  thereof,  including  release,  sale  or  disposition  of  the
Equipment or other collateral. If more than one Lessee is named in this
Lease, the liability of each shall be joint and several. Time is of the
essence with respect to this Lease.

36.      FORCE  MAJEURE.  Notwithstanding  any other term or  provision  of this
Lease (and any Equipment  Schedule  entered into pursuant  hereto),  no
party shall be responsible for or be in breach of or default under this
Lease (and any Equipment Schedule entered into pursuant hereto) for any
performance  delay or failure that is the result of any and all acts of
God and other acts, events,  circumstances,  impediments or occurrences
beyond the  control of the  delayed  person  (each a "Force  Majeure"),
including (without limitation) any (i) accident or mishap not caused by
the delayed person, (ii) assault,  attack, battle,  blockade,  bombing,
embargo,  police  action,  siege  or  other  act of  defense,  offense,
terrorism  or war  (whether  or not  declared),  in each  case  whether
civilian,  militia,  military  or  otherwise  and  whether  domestic or
foreign,  (iii)  governmental  regulation  or  decree  or other  act or
failure to act of any governmental  authority or other regulatory body,
in each case whether civil,  military or otherwise and whether domestic
or foreign, (iv) earthquake, explosion, fire, flood, hurricane or other
natural or man-made calamity or disaster,  (v) epidemic,  environmental
contamination or other natural or man-made pestilence or toxic exposure
(whether  biological,  chemical,  radiological  or  otherwise),  or any
quarantine or other  restriction  arising  therefrom,  (vi) failure of,
interruption  in  or  impairment  of  any  delivery,   internet,  mail,
monetary,  power,  

telecommunication,  transmission,  transportation  or utility system or
any other  service,  product or equipment  provided or  maintained by a
third party,  (vii)  lockout,  strike or similar  labor  interruptions,
(viii) insurrection,  riot or other civil disturbance,  (ix) hacking or
other   unauthorized   access,   spamming,   virus,   trojan  or  other
unauthorized  program, or other computer or technological  tampering or
attack,  or (x) sabotage or other criminal or intentionally  disruptive
third party act, in each case together  with any and all  consequential
disruptions,  delays,  effects or other  acts,  events,  circumstances,
impediments  or  occurrences  and  irrespective  of  how  localized  or
widespread.  Upon prompt notice to the other party,  the party affected
by any Force Majeure shall be excused from performance hereunder to the
extent and for so long as its  performance  hereunder  is  prevented or
restricted  by a Force  Majeure (and the other party shall  likewise be
excused from performance of its obligations  hereunder relating to such
delayed  or  failed  performance  to the same  extent  and for the same
duration);  provided  that the party so affected  shall use  reasonable
efforts  (without  increased  cost) to avoid,  mitigate  or remove such
Force  Majeure  and to  minimize  the  consequences  thereof,  and both
parties shall resume  performance  hereunder  with the utmost  dispatch
whenever such non-performance causes are removed.

37.      NO WAIVER BY ACTION,  ETC. Any failure of the Lessor to require  strict
performance  by the  Lessee or any  waiver  by Lessor of any  provision
herein  shall  not be  construed  as a  consent  or waiver of any other
breach of the same or of any other  provision.  Any  waiver or  consent
from either party respecting any provision of this Lease or any related
document  shall be effective  only in the  specific  instance for which
given and shall not be deemed,  regardless of frequency  given, to be a
further or  continuing  waiver or consent.  The failure or delay of any
party at any time to require  performance of, or to exercise or enforce
its rights or remedies  with  respect to, any  provision  of this Lease
shall not affect  such  party's  right at a later time to  exercise  or
enforce any such  provision.  No notice to or demand on any party shall
entitle  such  party to any other  notice or demand in similar or other
circumstances.  Any  acceptance  by or on  behalf of a party of (A) any
partial  or  late  payment,  reimbursement  or  performance  shall  not

Page 10

EARNINGS AND LOSSES
-------------------

13.      EARNINGS AND LOSSES

13.1     SPAR and Friedshelf shall, subject to 13.2 below, share in the
net  earnings  or  losses  of the  Company  based  upon  their
respective ownership.

13.2     Notwithstanding  13.1 above,  for the first three years of the
Company's  operation  after the  effective  date (the "Maximum
Loss  Period"),  if in any year during the Maximum Loss Period
the net loss of the Company exceeds R2 200 000,00 (two million
two  hundred   thousand  Rand)  (the  Annual  Maximum  Loss"),
Friedshelf,  O'Brien and Mason jointly and severally undertake
to make a cash  payment to the Company  equal to the amount of
the  Company's  net loss in excess of the Annual  Maximum Loss
(the  "Annual  Maximum  Loss  Payment"),   provided  that,  in
calculating  the Annual Maximum Loss for the first 12 (twelve)
month  period  during the  Maximum  Loss  Period,  the parties
shall, in calculating  whether the Company's loss is in excess
of the  Annual  Maximum  Loss,  allow up to the amount of R500
000,00 (five  hundred  thousand  Rand) to be excluded from the
calculation  of any Annual  Maximum Loss which the Company may
incur, provided that Friedshelf can reasonably  demonstrate to
SPAR  that  such  amount of up to R500  000,00  (five  hundred
thousand  Rand)  represents  start-up  costs  incurred  by the
Company in  establishing  and setting up the new joint venture
business.  For the  avoidance of doubt,  the allowance of R500
000,00 (five hundred thousand Rand) in respect of the start-up
costs of the Company  shall only apply in respect of the first
12  (twelve)  months  following  the  effective  date  and not
thereafter.

Page 11

13.3     Any  payment  pursuant  to  clause  13.2  shall  increase  the
shareholders' equity in the Company.

13.4     The Annual  Maximum Loss Payment  shall be paid by  Friedshelf
and/or   O'Brien   and/or  Mason  to  the  Company  within  45
(forty-five)  days after the issue of the annual  audit report
by the Company's auditors.

13.5     Given that the  effective  date of this  agreement  is 1 April
2004,  the Annual  Maximum  Loss  Payment  calculated  for the
period  ending  December  31,  2004  will be  calculated  on a
nine-month  period,  being the 9 (nine)  month period from the
effective date to 31 December 2004.

13.6     If any Annual  Maximum  Loss Payment  calculation  is for less
than a 12 month  period,  the  Annual  Maximum  Loss  shall be
reduced  by  an  amount  equal  to  the  Annual  Maximum  Loss
multiplied  by the  product of the  remainder  of 12 minus the
number  of  months  included  in the  calculation  divided  by
twelve.

13.7     It is the  intention  of the  parties  that the  Maximum  Loss
Period  shall  continue for a period of 36 (thirty six) months
commencing on the effective  date.  Therefore,  a short-period
Annual  Maximum Loss Payment will be calculated for the period
of 1 January 2007 through 31 March 2007.

13.8     If the effective  date of this agreement is later than 1 April
2004, the period on which the short-period Annual Maximum Loss
Payment is  calculated  shall be  adjusted so that the Maximum
Loss Period shall equal 36 (thirty six) months.

14.      CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS

Capital contributions  necessary for the working capital of the Company
will be made as to 51% (fifty one percent) by SPAR and as to 49% (forty
nine percent) by Friedshelf.

Company to any third party.

22.      PRE-EMPTIVE RIGHT AND OPTION

22.1     After  three  (3)  years  from  the  effective  date  of  this
agreement, if either party hereto (hereinafter called "selling
party")  wishes to  transfer  and sell all but not part of its
shares in the Company,  the selling party shall furnish to the
other party (hereinafter  called "recipient") a written notice
of the proposed  purchaser,  the offer  purchase price for the
shares  and any other  material  terms and  conditions  of the
proposed sale.

22.2     The recipient  shall have the right to purchase such shares by
giving the selling  party  written  notice of its intention to
purchase  the same  within  ninety  (90) days from the date of
receipt by the recipient of the selling party's  notice,  upon
the same terms and  conditions  as  described  in the  selling
party's notice.

22.3     In the event that the recipient elects to purchase the selling
party's  shares within the 90 (ninety) day period  referred to
in clause 22.2, the recipient shall be obliged to complete the
sale and purchase of the shares  within 14 (fourteen  days (or
such  further  period  of time as may be  agreed  between  the
selling  party and the  recipient)  of receipt by the  selling
party of the  recipient's  notice of its intention to purchase
the shares, failing which, the selling party shall be entitled
to sell the shares at the same price and on the same terms and
conditions as described in the selling party's notice given in
terms of clause 22.1.

22.4     The  selling  party may sell such shares at the same price and
on the same terms and  conditions  as  described in its notice
after  ninety  (90)  days have  elapsed  after the date of the
recipient's  receipt of such notice unless the recipient gives
a notice to the selling  party of its intention to acquire the
selling party's shares.  

Page 21

22.5     Any  person to whom  shares  in the  Company  are  transferred
pursuant to this clause 22 shall be bound by the terms of this
agreement.

22.6     Three (3) years after the  effective  date of this  agreement,
either  party (the  "offeror")  may at any time make a written
offer (which shall specify the price offered per share) to buy
all of the  other  party's  (the  "recipient")  shares  in the
Company. The recipient shall then, either accept the offer and
sell all of its shares under the terms and  conditions  of the
offer, or purchase the offeror's  shares at the same price and
on the same terms and  conditions as stipulated in the written
offer.

22.7     If the  recipient  does not  respond in writing to the initial
offer  within 120 (one  hundred and twenty) days of receipt of
the  written  offer,  the  recipient  shall be  deemed to have
accepted the offer to sell its shares to the offeror.

22.8     The  parties  shall  co-operate  to effect the closing of such
purchase  and sale of the  shares  held by the  selling  party
within 14  (fourteen)  days of the elapse of the period of 120
(one  hundred  and  twenty)  days  referred  to above (or such
further period as may be agreed between the parties).

22.9     At such closing, the purchasing party shall pay to the selling
party the purchase  price in cash, and the selling party shall
deliver   to   the   purchasing   party   share   certificates
representing  all of the  selling  party's  shares held in the
Company, free and clear of any liens and encumbrances.

22.10    For the avoidance of doubt,  neither SPAR nor Friedshelf shall
have the right to sell, cede,  alienate or in any way transfer
any of its  shares  in the  Company  for a period of 3 (three)
years from the effective date.

22.11    For the purposes of this  agreement,  an offer shall be deemed
to be received at the following times:

22.11.1  if delivered by hand during the normal business hours
of the addressee at the  addressee's  domicilium  for
the  time  being,  it shall be  presumed,  until  the
contrary  is  proved,  to have been  received  by the
addressee at the time of delivery; or

22.11.2  if given by telex or by facsimile, it shall be deemed
(in the  absence  of proof to the  contrary)  to have
been  received  within  24  (twenty  

Page 22

four) hours of  transmission  where it is transmitted
during  normal   business   hours  of  the  receiving
instrument  and  within  48  (forty  eight)  hours of
transmission  where it is  transmitted  outside those
business hours.

23.      CO-OPERATION IN FINANCING

23.1     SPAR and  Friedshelf  shall  agree  on an  initial  amount  of
working  capital  for the  Company  and will  provide  working
capital loans to the Company on the same terms.

23.2     SPAR will  provide a loan equal to 51% (fifty one  percent) of
the Company's  necessary  working  capital and Friedshelf will
provide  a loan  equal  to 49%  (forty  nine  percent)  of the
Company's necessary working capital.

23.3     The  interest  rate of the  shareholder  loans shall equal the
"prime  rate".  For the purposes of clause 23.3,  "prime rate"
means  the  rate of  interest  per  annum  which  is  equal to
Standard  Bank  Limited's  published  minimum  lending rate of
interest per annum, compounded monthly in arrears,  charged by
such bank on the unsecured  overdrawn  current accounts of its
most  favoured  corporate  clients in the private  sector from
time to time.  (In the case of a  dispute  as to the  rates so
payable,  the  rate  shall  be  certified  by any  manager  or
assistant  manager  of any  branch  of the  said  bank,  whose
decision shall be final and binding on the parties).

23.4     Any future working  capital loans will be provided on the same
basis.

ROLE OF CONTRACTING PARTIES
---------------------------

24.      BUSINESS AND SOFTWARE SUPPORT

24.1     SPAR shall for the first  three (3) years  provide up to 3 000
(three thousand) hours of business support in aggregate.  This
support may be in the form of general  business,  consultation

programming  costs if a less expensive way to hire IT staff is
found.

24.3     The  Company  will  be  able  to  hire  its  own IT  staff  as
appropriate.

25.      NON-COMPETITION

25.1     For the  duration of this  agreement,  SPAR,  Friedshelf,  the
Meridian  Entities,  Mason and  O'Brien  and their  affiliates
undertake  to each other that they will not  without the prior
consent of the others of them,  engage in, whether directly or
indirectly,  merchandising services (as defined in the license
agreement) in Southern  Equatorial  Africa,  including but not
limited  to  Angola,  Zambia,  Zimbabwe,  Malawi,  Mozambique,
Namibia,   Botswana,   Lesotho,   Swaziland,   South   Africa,
Madagascar,  Mauritius and the Seychelles (the "territory" for
the  purposes  of this clause 25) or any other  business  then
competitive  with the Company in the territory,  provided that
if the  Company  shall  during any 12  (twelve)  month  period
commencing 1 December  2005,  generate  less than US$50 000,00
(fifty  thousand US dollars) in revenue in any financial  year
in any of the countries  comprising the  territory,  then SPAR
shall no longer be bound by the non-compete provisions set out
in this  clause  25  insofar  as such  non-compete  provisions
relate to the country in which  revenue has fallen below US$50
000,00 (fifty thousand US dollars) in any year.

25.2     Notwithstanding  clause  25.1  above,  in the event  that SPAR
enters into an agreement with a customer that covers more than
one country and the scope of such agreement  includes services
in the territory,  SPAR shall not be prohibited  from entering
into or performing such agreement, provided that SPAR shall be
obliged to notify the Company of such agreement(s)  (including
global  agreements)  and the  SPAR  shall  use all  reasonable
endeavours  to procure  that the  Company has a right of first
refusal to enter into and perform such agreement(s).

25.3     In the event that the Company elects to enter into and perform
such agreement(s) it shall, within 3 (three) days of receiving
such  notification  from SPAR,  notify  SPAR in writing of its
intention to enter into and perform such  agreement(s)  on the
terms and conditions offered to SPAR.

Page 24

25.4     In the event that the Company  fails within such 3 (three) day
period  to  notify  SPAR of its  election  or,  alternatively,
elects not to enter into and perform  such  agreement(s),  the
Company   shall  be  deemed  to  have  waived  its  rights  to
participate in such agreement(s) and SPAR shall be entitled to
enter into and perform such  agreement(s) for its own benefit,
provided  that it shall not be on terms  (whether as to price,
conditions  or  any  other  material  factor)  which  is  more
advantageous than that offered to the Company.

25.5     It is recorded  that Mason and O'Brien are members in Prestige
Retail Services CC ("PRS"), a close corporation which provides
services to Spar Group Limited  ("SGL").  It is hereby agreed,
subject  to 25.7  below,  that such  interest  in PRS will not
constitute   a  breach  of  the   non-competition   provisions
contained in this clause 25.

25.6     Mason, O'Brien, the Meridian Entities and Friedshelf undertake
to SPAR and to the  Company  that they will  procure  that the
client  base of PRS will not be  extended  beyond  the  single
existing client of SGL.

25.7     The Meridian Entities,  Friedshelf,  Mason and O'Brien warrant
and represent to the Company and to SPAR that:

25.7.1   the only customer or client of PRS is SGL;

25.7.2   the annual nett  profit of PRS before  taxes will not
exceed R500 000.00 (five hundred thousand Rand);

25.7.3   Mason and O'Brien  will not  together,  in any single
week,  commit or spend in excess of 5 (five) hours of
their  combined time during  normal  working hours in
relation to the business of PRS; and

25.7.4   the rendering of services by Mason and O'Brien to PRS
will not  materially  adversely  interfere  or affect
their  ability to fully and  properly  perform  their
obligations  to the Company  pursuant to the terms of
the consultancy agreement.

25.8     In the event that SGL agrees, the Company shall be entitled to
acquire  the  members'  interest  or  business  of PRS,  for a
nominal amount of R100.00 (one hundred Rand).

SPAR shall  forthwith  reimburse  Sims  Trading  for half of the amount  paid or
payable by Sims  Trading.  SPAR's  failure  to comply  this  Article  25(3) will
entitle Sims Trading to enforce its rights  against SPAR under any of the deeds,
guarantee  or documents  executed by SPAR in favour of Sims Trading  pursuant to
Article 25(1) hereof.

parties,  and at no charge to the New  Companies for a period of four (4) years.
PROVIDED  ALWAYS THAT (a) Sims Trading's total  incremental  cash expenses under
this  Article  26(1)  in  the  4-year  period  shall  not in  any  event  exceed
HK$1,750,000;  and (b) any such  incremental  cash  expenses  exceeding the said
limit of HK$1,750,000 shall be borne by the New Companies absolutely and the New
Companies  shall settle in favour of Sims Trading in full all the expenses  each
month  without  delay;  and (c) any  office(s) of the New Companies to be set up
outside Sims Trading's  four regional  offices in China shall be at the sole and
absolute  discretion of Sims Trading and in reaching its decision,  Sims Trading
shall be entitled to take into accounts matters  including  without  limitation,
the  profitability  of  customers'  needs and  requests  for the New  Companies'
services,  feasibility  studies and prospect of development and expansion of the
business.

2. SPAR for first  four (4) years will  provide  up to a total of four  thousand
(4,000)  hours of business  

-10-

support.  This support may be in the form of general  business,  consultation or
programming support to modify or enhance the merchandising  software.  SPAR will
maintain  ownership of all  software.  Ownership of any of the  information  and
database of SPAR China clients shall belong to SPAR China absolutely. If support

allocated to SPAR China in the first five (5) years.

Article 27.   Personnel

Sims Trading shall, at its own judgment,  second to SPAR China its personnel who
are  appropriate  for the start-up of business of the New Companies for a period
of one (1) year without any  consideration.  In  principal,  SPAR China shall be
responsible for the payment of salaries and benefits for full time personnel and

profitability of SPAR China.

Each party hereto shall  provide the  appropriate  training to the employees for
the New  Companies'  operation at its own site.  The said training shall be made

China in Territory  save and except that Sims Trading  shall be allowed  without
any restrictions  whatsoever to continue to carry on its Merchandising  Services
under Twin Tiger International  Limited in Hong Kong any time whether during the
subsistence of this Agreement or after its  termination.  In the event that SPAR
enters into an agreement  with a customer  that covers more than one country and
the scope of such agreement includes service in the Territory, SPAR shall not be
prohibited from entering into or performing  such agreement,  provided that SPAR
shall be obliged to notify  SPAR 

-11-

China of such agreement(s)  (including global agreements) and SPAR shall use all
reasonable  efforts to procure  that SPAR China has a right of first  refusal to
enter into and perform  such  agreements  and the terms so offered to SPAR China

that any Merchandising Services or any other business then competitive with SPAR
China in the Territory is carried out by SPAR directly or indirectly and whether
alone or  jointly  with any other  third  party(ies)  whatsoever,  SIMS shall be
entitled to charge a commission on the gross fees so received by SPAR at rate to
be fairly and reasonably determined by both parties and in any event the charges
for the merchandising services shall not be lower than the standard rate charged
by SPAR China.

For the avoidance of doubt, SPAR China has been granted the non-transferable and
exclusive  license to use the  Licensed  Technology  (as  defined in the License
Agreement) in the Territory under the License Agreement.  During the subsistence
of this Agreement and the License Agreement,  SPAR shall not further license the
Licensed  Technology to any other party(ies) in the Territory whether or not for
the purpose of providing such Merchandising  Services or any other business then
competitive  with SPAR China which SPAR China has  exercised  its first right of
refusal to take up.

Sims Trading may also continue to offer services to Sims Trading's  clients that
exist on the date of  execution  of  contract  as long as they  are  similar  to
services  offered  prior to the  execution of this contract and Sims Trading has
made reasonable effort to transfer such business to the New Companies.

right to subscribe to new shares) of the New Company to any third parties.

Article 24.     Preemptive Right and Option

1. At no time may any party  transfer  less than all of its shares.  After three
(3)  years  from the  effective  date of this  Agreement,  if any  party  hereto
(hereinafter  called  "Selling  Party")  wishes to transfer and sell all but not
less than all of its  shares,  the  Selling  Party  shall  furnish  to the other
parties  (hereinafter  called  "Other  Parties") a written  notice of a proposed

Party may sell such shares upon the terms and  conditions  as  described  in its
notice  after  ninety  (90) days from the date of FI's  receipt  of such  notice
unless FI and Tudor  give  notice  for their  purchase  of the shares to Selling
Party.  If the  Selling  Party is not  SPAR,  then  SPAR  shall  have a right to
purchase such shares by giving  Selling Party a written  notice of its intention
to purchase the same within ninety (90) days from the receipt of Selling Party's
notice,  upon the same terms and conditions as described in the Selling  Party's
notice.  In such case, the Selling Party may sell such shares upon the terms and
conditions  as  described  in its notice after ninety (90) days from the date of
SPAR's receipt of such notice unless SPAR gives a notice for its purchase of the
shares to Selling Party.  In either case,  unless agreed by the Other Parties in
writing,   any   transferee   party   shall  be  subject   to  this   Agreement.
Notwithstanding  anything to the  contrary  above,  (1) FI may not  transfer its
shares  unless Tudor  transfers his shares at the same time, as part of the same
transaction  and on the same terms;  and (2) Tudor may not  transfer  his shares
unless FI transfers its shares at the same time, as part of the same transaction
and on the same terms,  except for the case where Tudor  transfers his shares to
FI.

3. After three (3) years from the effective date of this Agreement,  SPAR may at
any time make a written offer to buy all of the Other Parties' shares in the New
Company. Each Other Party shall then either accept the offer and sell all of its
shares  under  the terms and  conditions  offered,  or FI alone or pro rata with
Tudor (if Tudor shall so elect) may purchase SPAR's shares at the same terms and
conditions.  If any party  receiving  the initial  offer does not respond to the
initial offer within one hundred and twenty (120) days, such party receiving the
offer shall be deemed to have accepted the offer to sell its shares. After three
(3) years from the effective date of this  Agreement,  FI may at any time make a
written  offer to buy all of the SPAR's  shares in the New  Company.  SPAR shall
then  either  accept  the offer and sell all of its  shares  under the terms and
conditions  offered, or purchase FI' shares and Tudor's shares at the same terms
and conditions. If SPAR does not respond to the initial offer within one hundred
and twenty (120) days,  SPAR shall be deemed to have  accepted the offer to sell
its shares.  In any case,  the parties shall  cooperate to effect the closing of
such  purchase  and sale of all of the  shares  of the New  Company  held by the
Selling  Party within 120 days of the decision or deemed  decision of the second
party. At such closing,  the purchasing party shall pay to the Selling Party the
purchase  price in cash,  and the Selling Party shall deliver to the  purchasing
party all of the Selling Party's shares held in the New Company,  free and clear
of any liens.

and/or  at any  General  Meeting  of
Shareholders of New Company; or

5.1.2 a quorum at any  meeting of the Board of  Directors  and/or at any
General  Meeting of  Shareholders  of New
Company be broken;

then in such  event  the  parties  shall  attempt  to  resolve  these  issues by
mediation as soon as possible and failing such resolution within twenty-one (21)
business  days  after  having  been  referred  to  mediation,  any  director  or
shareholder  (as the case may be) shall be  entitled  by  written  notice to New
Company to claim  that all or any of the  matters  which  were under  discussion
and/or  to be  discussed  at  that  meeting,  be  submitted  to and  decided  by
arbitration in terms of Article 37.

5.2 Notwithstanding that a deadlock may have arisen in terms of clause 5.1, such
deadlock  shall not alone  constitute a ground for any  shareholder  to apply to
court for the winding up of New Company.

Article 25.     Cooperation in Financing

1. The New Company may borrow up to  US$25,000  as its  operating  funds,  which
shall  be  guaranteed  by FI in its  discretion.  FI shall  make its  reasonable
efforts to enable such  borrowing.  The terms of the borrowing and any agreement
between New Company and FI with respect to FI guarantee shall be matters subject
to Article 18 hereof.

2. The New Company may borrow an additional  US$50,000 when it needs  additional
funds,  if such borrowing is approved in advance by the Board of Directors as an
important matter under Article 18 herein.

such  creditors in favor of the New Company,  SPAR and Tudor shall  reimburse FI

advance  by  SPAR  in  writing  or  in  a  Board   resolution,   for  which  all
SPAR-nominated directors have voted affirmatively.

this Agreement (the "Maximum Loss Period"),  if for any year the net loss of the
New Company exceeds  US$20,000 (the "Annual Maximum Loss"), FI shall make a cash
payment to the New Company  equal to the amount of the net loss in excess of the

initial  term of the later of one year and the date  following  the close of any

such loan shall have been repaid from a quota not less than one-third of the New
Company's profits  determined as sum of the accounting profits at the end of the
